The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 215 Inspection of the Construction Site
Any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

Excellent people are always envied!

This is why, since ancient times, the Chinese have preferred the doctrine of the mean, which is stable and not easy to attract people's attention and become the focus.

In China, the higher you go, the harder it becomes.

Each level seems to be just one level, but the difference between them is like heaven and earth.

For example, Liu Zhenbang is now a director-level cadre, which means he has real power and enjoys the treatment of a deputy director-level cadre. This deputy director-level cadre is only a treatment and not a rank. His rank is still that of a director-level cadre.

But this is the key to Liu Zhenbang's promotion to the deputy director level. Only by enjoying the deputy director level treatment can Liu Zhenbang be promoted to the deputy director level in the next step.

Even though they are both deputy director-general level, there is a world of difference between them, for example, whether they have real power!

If Liu Zhenbang wants to become a powerful department-level or bureau-level cadre like Liu Tao, he must at least make four or five improvements!

One can imagine how many people are jealous and envious of Liu Tao!

Liu Tao could hear Liu Zhenbang's worry, but he was calm inside.

To be honest, having the item upgrade system is his greatest reliance.

He can develop advanced weapons to greatly enhance national defense, and the higher-ups will definitely not ignore him.

He has met many leaders so far.

If the leaders had not valued it, the Panshan Machinery Factory would have grown so large that it might have been broken up into several parts or a more qualified person might have been sent to lead the Panshan Machinery Factory.

As a result, Panshan Machinery Factory now has to invest huge amounts of money to build a production base to solve the problem of the third-line military factory in the southwest region's weapons industry system.

And to be honest, if that day really comes, the worst that can happen is that I can just go into business, and relying on the item upgrade system, it wouldn't be hard to become a world-class rich man.

By that time, these big shots would be begging him to invest in building factories.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It's just that it's not good enough.

As long as you are good enough, the wind can't destroy you.

Even if it is destroyed, it can be reborn in the spring breeze and regain its vitality.

After returning to Kunming City, Liu Tao did not rush back to Panshan Machinery Factory, but accompanied the provincial leaders to Chaishitan Reservoir.

This is a huge construction site and the dam has begun to take shape.

For the entire project, Yunnan Province organized more than 100,000 people to participate in the construction.

In addition to building reservoirs and hydropower stations, the next step is to overhaul the channels and form large tank areas.

Now that the reservoir has taken shape, water is being released through the diversion tunnel for irrigation, turning large tracts of land into fertile fields.

Liu Tao couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had started this project in time, otherwise Panshan Machinery Factory would have faced serious power shortage problems.

Even now, Panshan Machinery Factory is implementing power rationing. Except for the factory, there is a power outage in the dormitory area during the day, and there is only electricity for three hours at night.

Even if Yunnan Province draws electricity from surrounding areas, it will not be enough for Panshan Machinery Factory to use.

Just after the New Year, Panshan Machinery Factory and Yunnan Province started the construction of three medium-sized hydropower stations and two large hydropower stations to ensure the water and electricity needs of Panshan Machinery Factory and several other factories.

To be honest, Liu Tao originally thought that he had paid enough attention to it, but when he personally participated, he found that the industry had a huge demand for electricity, and industrialization required a lot of electricity support. Thinking about it in the future, he once believed that India and Vietnam would continue to be born.

But now he doesn't believe it at all, because industrialization requires a lot of electricity!
Without electricity, there is no industrialization at all!

Without electricity, the factory's machinery and equipment cannot be started at all, let alone production.

The total electricity consumption of several factories of Panshan Machinery Factory is even much greater than the electricity consumption of nearly one million people in Kunming City.

It was precisely because of the lessons learned that several production bases of Panshan Machinery Factory in Guizhou, Guangxi and Sichuan provinces simultaneously started the construction of reservoir hydropower stations.

"Director Liu, when the Chaishitan Reservoir is completed, it will not only deliver a large amount of electricity, but also form an irrigation area of ​​nearly 38 mu! The economy, society, and culture of the two counties will be promoted, which is of great significance!" The leader looked at the people who were busy building and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, we have to thank you Panshan Machinery Factory, otherwise the province doesn't know when we can build this reservoir."

"Leader, our Panshan Machinery Factory is also a part of Yunnan Province. We are located in Yunnan Province, so we should naturally contribute to the development of Yunnan Province." Liu Tao said with a smile.

Although Panshan Machinery Factory is a military factory directly under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, it is not under local jurisdiction.

However, it is necessary to have good relations with local authorities.

Yunnan Province has always provided great support to Panshan Machinery Factory.

The rapid expansion of Panshan Machinery Factory is inseparable from the huge support from Yunnan Province.

Panshan Machinery Factory needs land, the local government gives it to them! It needs people, the local government gives them the land!

In the past, there were more than two hundred cadres from Yunnan Province supporting Panshan Machinery Factory.

The leader showed an appreciative look and felt more satisfied.

In the past two years, although the state's investment in Yunnan Province has decreased, the province's development has not slowed down. One very important reason for this is Panshan Machinery Factory.

The investment in Panshan Machinery Factory is huge, even greater than the country’s annual investment in Yunnan Province in the past, which makes up for this part of the gap.

In addition, the development of Panshan Machinery Factory has driven the development of other factories, greatly increasing the efficiency of many factories, which has promoted local economic development.

Yunnan Province is simply unable to afford the construction costs for large-scale reservoir and medium-sized reservoir hydropower stations that are being built now, and all the construction costs are paid by Panshan Machinery Factory. Yunnan Province is responsible for land acquisition and demolition, resettlement of immigrants, and organizing construction.

Compared with the huge economic and social efficiency of the project, Yunnan Province is still happy to spend this amount of money.

Liu Tao's attitude was undoubtedly recognized and appreciated by his leaders.

Later, Liu Tao realized that this time he was not only accompanying the leaders to visit the Chaishitan Reservoir project, but also because the province had a request.

What we are looking for is foreign exchange!
"Leader, the province also needs foreign exchange? Yunnan Province has no access to the sea and has not established a special economic zone?" Liu Tao was a little surprised.

With the opening up to the outside world, Liu Tao felt a very obvious change in the atmosphere in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

But you have to know that for Yunnan Province, there are plateaus everywhere, and the spring breezes are blocked between the mountains.

The total population of Yunnan Province is about 3200 million, but the urban population is about 380 million, which is barely 10%, and the vast majority of them are in rural areas.

The spring breeze has not yet reached here, and the atmosphere here is still quite conservative, with agriculture being the main source of population.

In addition, the "Roar of the Red Dragon" has only been around for two years, and the border has just started to move, so Liu Tao has never heard of border trade. Currently, there is only some trade with the Panshan Machinery Factory.

Liu Tao couldn't understand why Yunnan Province needed foreign exchange?
"Of course we need foreign exchange. University professors need foreign exchange to attend conferences and exchanges, universities need foreign exchange to buy overseas books, and scientific research institutions need foreign exchange to buy equipment. There are too many places that need foreign exchange." The leader said, "But we don't have foreign exchange in Yunnan Province. The only place that can earn foreign exchange is your factory."
