The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 120: Chief Zhu's Shock (First Order)
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.

When the plane landed on the airport runway, Mr. Zhu was still feeling unsatisfied.

His eyes were full of admiration.

He now knows that Liu Tao has extremely high attainments in armored vehicles and artillery.

If he had been more skeptical before, because it seemed like a fantasy for one person to develop a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

But now Mr. Zhu believes it.

In fact, there was no question he asked that Liu Tao didn't know the answer to.

Composite armor, engines up to 1500 horsepower, automatic loaders, radar technology.
There are many things that Mr. Zhu has never heard of or seen before.

For example, the diesel engine can output a powerful power of 1500 horsepower, and even a peak of 1800 horsepower, which is much more advanced than the diesel engine used in the current Type 59 main battle tank.

Now China can’t even produce a tank diesel engine with 1500 horsepower, let alone 800 horsepower.

Otherwise, there would not be a need for the Type 69 main battle tank, some of which still use 520 horsepower engines and some of which use 580 horsepower engines.

The 580-horsepower diesel engine is already the most advanced engine currently available, and it is still not very stable.

However, the diesel engine developed directly by Liu Tao can reach 1500 horsepower, and its peak power can reach 1800 horsepower.

Not to mention, computer technology!

Even Mr. Zhu has no idea about this aspect.

Mr. Zhu finally understood why there were two computer experts in the expert group.

As soon as he got off the plane, Liu Tao saw Wang Tiezhu. Wang Tiezhu actually came to the airport to pick him up in person.

But think about it, this time it is a large expert group organized by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Similarly, this was also the first time Wang Baoguo returned to Yunnan Province after being transferred to the capital.

Wang Baoguo and others will stay in Kun City for one night and then go to Panshan Machinery Factory tomorrow. Liu Tao will go directly back to Panshan Machinery Factory with two computers.

He has to arrange everything and cannot neglect the expert team.

At the same time, he also had to deal with the matters of Panshan Machinery Factory while he was away for a week.

For example, after the quality inspection of firearms, the first batch of firearms will be delivered to Yangcheng Port after the quality inspection is completed.

Liu Tao never takes things lightly when it comes to delivering orders, completing them and getting the money.

Money is safe in your pocket!

Of course, even if it is just a deposit and the other party goes back on his word, Panshan Machinery Factory will not lose money with the deposit and can even make a small profit.

This is the case with arms orders. The deposit paid by the customer is often at least equivalent to the cost, and the customer will not breach the contract on their own initiative, because if they breach the contract, the deposit will be wasted.

But if there is no deposit, the risk will be very high.

China has suffered a lot in this regard.

Liu Tao was busy until late at night before he went to sleep.

Around ten o'clock the next day.

Liu Tao brought the factory leaders to the factory gate. The gate to the production area was a military restricted area and only factory employees were allowed to enter.

There were also fully armed soldiers standing guard at the gate.

With the continuous formalization, the production area, living area and leisure area of ​​Panshan Machinery Factory are completely separated, and the situation where employees' families can run around in the production room will no longer occur.

This was also for the purpose of better confidentiality. The other factory leaders were all nervous, as it was the first time for them to meet such a high-ranking leader and such a large group of experts.

This is an expert group composed of experts in the field selected from all over the country by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Any expert in the expert group has much higher skills than anyone in Panshan Machinery Factory except Liu Tao.

Yesterday, Liu Tao returned to Panshan Machinery Factory and convened a meeting of factory leaders to inform them of this matter. All the factory leaders were shocked and many of them did not sleep well last night.

Arrange the dormitory and clean the place overnight.
"Director, the leader is leading the team personally. If we don't organize a factory-wide welcome, will the leader be unhappy?" Deputy Director Sun Weihua was worried. In his opinion, the leader is leading the team personally to Panshan Machinery Factory, so Panshan Machinery Factory should organize a factory-wide welcome to show the enthusiasm of Panshan Machinery Factory to the leader.

Liu Tao glanced at Sun Weihua. If he wasn't a veteran in the factory and had a lot of prestige, he would have wanted to replace him to be honest.

In the previous Panshan Machinery Factory, Sun Weihua was capable enough to be the deputy director.

But now that Panshan Machinery Factory has grown stronger, Sun Weihua's abilities are far behind.

"It seems that it would be more appropriate for Deputy Director Sun to be in charge of union affairs in the future." Liu Tao said to himself.

Since he took over as factory director, he has promoted a total of four deputy factory directors, and the directors of each production workshop were also promoted by him.

Now he couldn't help but want to promote another deputy factory director to replace Sun Weihua's job responsibilities.

There is only one factory director, but there can be eight or ten deputy factory directors!
Panshan Machinery Factory is getting bigger and bigger and needs more and more talents.

Talents include not only technical talents, but also management talents!

Although Panshan Machinery Factory is developing rapidly now and the contradictions are not prominent, Liu Tao still sees the contradictions and the great hidden dangers.

From the perspective of a factory manager's functions, he is not a qualified one, because in his two lifetimes, he has never managed so many people and his management skills are quite lacking.

His position as factory director gave him more space, allowing him to devote himself to scientific research more freely without being disturbed.

At the same time, some reforms are also being implemented.

But it is not necessarily true to say that his management ability is outstanding.

"Seek truth from facts and be down-to-earth. There is no need to cheat or make a show of it!" Liu Tao said calmly.

He just doesn't like superficial things.

Not to mention that the person leading the team was Wang Baoguo, an acquaintance of Liu Tao's, even if it was another leader, Liu Tao would not do such a thing.

Not to mention anything else, there are so many people in the entire Panshan Machinery Factory now. If everyone puts down their work to welcome it, the loss will be huge!
No matter how you calculate the economics, this is not a good deal.

Finally, we can see the convoy coming this way.

When Wang Baoguo was the first to get out of the car, Sun Weihua and others were surprised. They did not expect that Wang Baoguo would lead the team himself.

They all heard that Wang Baoguo was promoted to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, which was a much higher position than when he was the director of the Yunnan Provincial National Defense Management Office.

Such a leader would actually lead a team to Panshan Machinery Factory in person.

Following closely was Wang Tiezhu, who was an acquaintance of everyone. He had previously served as the director of Panshan Machinery Factory. Whenever Sun Weihua and others went to Kun City for business, they would visit Wang Tiezhu at the Yunnan Provincial National Defense Management Office.

As for the other people who came down, Sun Weihua and others didn't recognize any of them.

But it did not prevent Sun Weihua and others from becoming restrained.

Liu Tao stepped forward and welcomed everyone on behalf of Panshan Machinery Factory.

Afterwards, Liu Tao took everyone to the conference room, not to start the meeting right away, but to let everyone take a break in case anyone got carsick or felt unwell due to fatigue.

Let's take a short break in the conference room and have some tea to adjust our state of mind.

　It’s on the shelves now and please be the first to pre-order. There will be a big update today!
　　If there is a leader, I will add another chapter!
