The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 264 Ninth Level Worker

Back to Panshan Machinery Factory.

It took a day to inspect and repair the weapons and equipment that had been piled up during this period so that they could be put back into the warehouse.

Afterwards Liu Tao dealt with some things that needed his attention.

After the restructuring, the number of things he needed to deal with was greatly reduced.

Unlike before, he has a lot of things to deal with.

Those related to military industry went to Zhao Guoping, while those related to civilian industry went to Xue Yunpeng.

Only when neither of them can make a decision will they come to Liu Tao for processing.

Usually, unless it is an urgent matter, a party group meeting is held to discuss the matter and then make a decision.

Although the overall situation is still a bit chaotic due to the restructuring, everyone is slowly adapting to it, and the situation is much better than when the restructuring first started.

This also allows Liu Tao to have more time to do more meaningful things.

For example, produce more CNC machine tools, more three-axis CNC machine tools, four-axis CNC machine tools and more five-axis machining centers!

As long as Liu Tao is willing, the Soviets are willing to pay $500 million or even $ million to buy such a five-axis machining center.

Of course, Liu Tao will not export five-axis machining centers.

Especially the Soviet Union!
The polar bear is now strong enough, and its military strength is unrivaled in the world.

If he could get a five-axis machining center, no one would be able to discover the polar bear's nuclear submarine.

This thing still needs to be classified as a national strategic material and be controlled. It's okay to use it yourself, but it must not be exported.

Unless the price offered is irresistible.

On this day, the footsteps of the Spring Festival are already clearly audible.

Liu Tao convened a party group meeting.

A total of nine people attended the meeting, and Liu Tao personally presided over the meeting.

The entire party group meeting lasted a full day before all topics were concluded.

Liu Tao had just returned to the office when he saw Zhao Guoping coming towards him with a report in his hand, looking a little hesitant.

"Comrade Zhao Guoping, is there something wrong?" Liu Tao asked.

Since being entrusted with the important task of managing China Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, Zhao Guoping has suddenly become a very busy man. Normally, he is so busy that you can hardly see him around.

I have to go to the combined brigade, to various military factories, and then deal with other things.

However, this is how people’s leadership is developed.

When he is able to manage the area under his jurisdiction in an orderly manner and get things done by managing people, Zhao Guoping's leadership will definitely be much improved than it is now.

Zhao Guoping said somewhat embarrassedly: "General Manager, I would like to take three days off. My wife is about to give birth in the next two days."

Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Of course, of course. Leaders are also human beings, and they have family matters to deal with. I'll approve this leave."

"Congratulations in advance! Your status has been upgraded!" Liu Tao congratulated Zhao Guoping.

Calculating the time, Zhao Guoping's wife is indeed about to give birth at this time.

Afterwards, Liu Tao took Zhao Guoping's report, signed his name on it, and approved Zhao Guoping's vacation.

And it was not three days, but seven days of vacation that was granted to Zhao Guoping.

The Spring Festival is coming, and it's a good time to take a holiday together, so Zhao Guoping can have a good rest and spend time with his family.

After Zhao Guoping left, Liu Tao shook his head slightly, talked to his secretary, and then went to the tank production area.

As other factories were built and put into operation, gun production and manufacturing no longer needed this place. This place has officially become a tank production and manufacturing factory.

Liu Tao began to participate in the production of tanks, because as long as he participated in the production, he could not only obtain considerable upgrade points, but he could also be regarded as a tank producer. By accumulating experience by driving the tank, he could then repair the tank's defects.

There are no major problems with the production of tank diesel engines now, and there are no major problems with armor either.

The most common problems are with the tank gun and the fire control system, including welding.

For a level 8 welder, there won’t be any problem with welding skills, but this may not be the case for other welders.

Here at the tank manufacturing plant, four shifts are implemented 24 hours a day, with each shift lasting six hours.

Some of the original workers have been transferred to the tank production and manufacturing base in the mountain city, and some are workers transferred in from outside.

This caused a decline in production quality during this period.

This also gave Liu Tao a headache.

Workers. Now the number of workers in China is very large, exceeding 400 million.

But in reality, the technical level of most workers is very average and they can only engage in low-end industrial processing and manufacturing.

Level 8 workers are rare technical talents in every industry.

This is also the highest wage standard for workers.

The wage standard for an eighth-level worker is on par with that for a county-level or department-level worker.

Although Panshan Machinery Factory has trained a group of level eight workers, there is no doubt that the number of level eight workers is still too small.

If there were two thousand level eight and level nine workers, Liu Tao wouldn't have to worry!

It is not easy to train eighth-level workers, let alone the ninth-level workers set by Panshan Machinery Factory. Even now, the number of ninth-level workers who can meet the standards of Panshan Machinery Factory is pitifully small.

The salary of every level nine worker is at the same level as that of the deputy general manager.

Outside, other state-owned factories implemented the eight-grade worker system.

At Panshan Machinery Factory, one more level is added on top of the eighth-level workers, with the highest being ninth-level workers.

The workers who were previously merged into Panshan Machinery Factory were all re-evaluated and graded. They might have been graded as Grade 8 workers in the original factory, but after re-evaluation at Panshan Machinery Factory, they were graded as Grade 7 or even Grade 6 workers.

In Liu Tao's opinion, those who are rated as ninth-level workers are the country's most precious assets and have truly superb skills.

There are only about ten level nine workers in the entire Panshan Group. Each of them is a role model of the group and is highly respected and admired.

In addition to participating in the production of tanks, Liu Tao also began to prepare for his Spring Festival holiday.

After all, there are not many days left until the Spring Festival.

He had to arrange everything so that he could spend the Spring Festival in Beijing peacefully.

Even his second sister Liu Honglei had started preparing to return to Beijing three days ago.

This time they will stay in Beijing for a total of eight days. Of course, they will fly back and forth, otherwise it will take six days and six nights just to go there and back.

That night, when Liu Tao was about to get off work, his secretary told him that Zhao Guoping's wife had just given birth to a baby boy in the early morning.

Liu Tao asked his secretary to buy some fruits for him tomorrow, as he was going to Panshan Hospital to visit Zhao Guoping and his wife.

The secretary quickly took notes. As Liu Tao's secretary, these were things he needed to do.

Liu Tao now has many more secretaries than before, including a secretary general and a personal secretary. The secretary general is responsible for coordinating and arranging his schedule, document processing, meeting arrangements, etc. The personal secretary is responsible for coordinating and arranging people to clean his residence, and arranging for him to go to Panshan Hospital for physical examinations regularly.

In addition, there are several assistant secretaries, such as financial secretaries.
