The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 249 Chaotic Reform

Back to Panshan Machinery Factory.

At this time, the sign in the office area has been changed.

The three office buildings of China Panshan Group Corporation, China Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, and China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation have these three signs hanging on them.

As soon as the National Day is over, mid-October.

As the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building was formally restructured into the China North Industries Corporation, Panshan Machinery Factory quickly followed suit and underwent restructuring.

Liu Tao serves as the general manager and party secretary of Huaxia Panshan Group Corporation.

The entire Huaxia Panshan Group Corporation has 19 departments, namely the General Management Department, Development Planning Department, Science and Technology and Informatization Department, Equipment R&D Department, Equipment Support Department, Quality, Safety and Environmental Protection Department, Civilian Products Development Department, International Affairs Department, Human Resources Department, Finance Department, Reform and Asset Management Department, Audit and Risk Management Department, Party and Mass Work Department, Special Office for Explosives and Firearms, Inspection Office, Retired Cadres Bureau, Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group, Armed Forces Department, and Trade Union.

The General Management Department includes the Party Committee Office, the General Manager's Office, and the Policy Research Office; the Development Planning Department includes the Military-Civilian Integration Office, the Civilian Products Planning Department, and the Military Products Planning Department.

The Audit and Risk Management Department includes the Legal and Compliance Management Department and the Comprehensive Risk Management Office.

The Ministry of Science, Technology and Information Technology includes the Ordnance Technology Research Institute, and the Equipment Research and Development Department includes the Ordnance Science Research Institute.

It has two major subsidiary groups, namely China Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation and China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation.

China Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation is responsible for managing all military factories, and China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation is responsible for managing all civilian factories.

华夏西南兵器工业集团总公司下辖着云省盘山机械有限公司（235厂）、云省西仪工业有限公司（356厂）、云省铸造机械有限公司（991厂）、云省家具生产加工有限公司（9815厂）、云省机器维修有限公司（9807厂）、山城铁马有限公司（256厂）、贵省机器工业有限公司（315厂）、江陵机器有限公司（152厂）、川蜀红星有限公司（393厂）、桂省特种装备有限公司（772厂）。

There are as many as 10 military factories, which can be said to be the largest scale at present.

The China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation is comprised of China Golden Dragon Computer Group Co., Ltd., China Semiconductor Group Co., Ltd., China Automobile Group Co., Ltd., China Motorcycle Group Co., Ltd., China Gree Home Appliances Group Co., Ltd., China Transportation Group Co., Ltd., and China Construction Co., Ltd.

The administrative level of China Panshan Group Corporation is at the department level, the administrative level of China Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation and China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation is at the deputy department level, and the next level of administrative level is at the division level.

Zhao Guoping was appointed as the deputy general manager and deputy minister of the armed forces of China Panshan Group Corporation, general manager and member of the party group of China Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation. He is also a member of the party group of China Panshan Group Corporation and deputy secretary of the party group, truly becoming the second-in-command of China Panshan Group Corporation.

Xue Yunpeng was appointed as the deputy general manager and party group member of Huaxia Panshan Group Corporation and the general manager and party group secretary of Huaxia Southwest Industrial Group Corporation. He is a talent supported by his superiors, has experience working abroad many times, is a time-tested fighter, and is now over 60 years old. He has also become the de facto third in command of Huaxia Panshan Group Corporation.

Zhao Guoping, Minister of the Armed Forces, also serves as the commander of the Tiger Guard Brigade and a member of the Party Leadership Group.

Li Ming, a cadre supported by his superiors, previously worked in the financial department for 30 years as chief accountant and member of the party group.

Chen Chuan, head of the disciplinary inspection team, is also a cadre supported by his superiors, a veteran cadre who has worked in the disciplinary inspection system for a long time, and a member of the Party group.

Li Zhen, director of Panshan Hospital, is responsible for the medical and health work of various Panshan hospitals and factories, and is a member of the Party Leadership Group.

In addition, there is Zhang Chunjian, who previously worked at Hua Xia Bank and is now the director of the Finance Department and a member of the Party Leadership Group of Hua Xia Panshan Group Corporation; Zhu Yusheng, who previously served as the deputy director of the Ordnance Industry Research Institute of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, and is now the chief engineer and a member of the Party Leadership Group of Hua Xia Panshan Group Corporation.

As for the two senior deputy factory directors, Sun Weihua and Zhang Hongjun, although they are also deputy department-level cadres, one is the chairman of the labor union, responsible for labor union affairs, and the other is the director of the retired cadres bureau, responsible for workers' retirement. Although they are still at the same level, they are no longer in the leadership team.

The units directly under China Panshan Group Corporation are all at the deputy-department level, while the various departments of China Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation and China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation are one level lower, and the administrative levels of the departments below are further reduced by one level.

This forms a dual vertical management.

Although the framework has been set up, it is not so easy to make it run smoothly and it needs to be run in.

On the contrary, after the reform, it seems a bit chaotic.

But Liu Tao did not intervene. All of this needed time to adjust. Everyone was crossing the river by feeling the stones. No one had any experience and it was inevitable that they would make mistakes in the process. These were tuition fees that had to be paid.

He even felt that if the entire reform could be fully and smoothly implemented within three to five years, it would be a great victory.

Reform is never just about changing a brand name, that would be just a change of name but not substance.

What really inspires fighting spirit is organization and people!

Moreover, Liu Tao continues to manufacture more advanced computers so that more people can learn to use computers for work.

Computer office work is also promoted by Liu Tao.

Even though it is still very slow now, people are not used to it, and few people can do it, but we still need to do it step by step.

With so many things to do, Liu Tao often worked until two or even three in the morning, and still had to get up at seven the next day to continue working hard.

Liu Tao delegated more power and only cared about three areas: personnel, finance, and discipline inspection and supervision.

More time is spent in the production workshop.

Either to manufacture more CNC machines or to inspect individual products.

Although, after the restructuring, matters in this regard should be handed over to the various military factories themselves, they do not have the ability to do so now, and Liu Tao can only do it himself.

As Liu Tao demanded to increase the production speed of tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, the production speed increased, but the number of defects decreased very slowly, and he had to use his golden finger to repair the defects.

However, as the quality inspection of heavy sniper rifles was handed over to the quality inspection department, Liu Tao was basically no longer needed for quality inspection of firearms. He only needed to go to the warehouse for random inspections occasionally.

As for artillery shells, only tank shells, anti-aircraft shells, 122mm howitzer shells and special artillery shells need him to check, and nothing else is needed.

What worries him most is the production of tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, self-propelled howitzers, etc.

Also because the current production capacity is still relatively limited, Liu Tao has slowed down the development of new weapons and equipment, because even if they are developed, they cannot be produced.
