The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 310 Spring Festival is coming
As the Spring Festival approaches, the entire Panshan Group is organizing activities to welcome the Spring Festival.

In the minds of most people, New Year’s Day is not the Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival is the real Chinese New Year.

Everywhere you can see people hanging colorful lanterns and pasting couplets.

Liu Tao is also preparing for the last party group meeting before the Spring Festival. This meeting is a link between the past and the future, a summary of the past, and a plan for the new year.

In the past year, Panshan Group has achieved brilliant results, but many problems have also been exposed. The brilliant achievements need to be affirmed, and the exposed problems also need to be solved.

The office started preparing for the new year two months ago.

February 1983, 2, the 10th day of the twelfth lunar month, 9 o'clock in the morning.

In the conference room, the Panshan Group Party Committee meeting was held as scheduled.

Liu Tao, Zhao Guoping, Xue Yunpeng, Li Fuguo, Li Ming, Chen Chuan, Li Zhen, Zhang Chunjian and Zhu Yusheng all attended the meeting.

Everyone gave a comprehensive summary of the past year and reflected on the problems exposed in their respective jurisdictions.

The same is true for Liu Tao.

"The corruption and power-for-sex transactions that Comrade Chen Chuan mentioned just now are phenomena that we must guard against," Liu Tao said in a deep voice.

"We've only been enjoying good life for a few days, and you're already asking for money. This is outrageous!" Liu Tao was also a little angry.

This is because the standards are relatively loose. If the investigation is really conducted according to strict standards, I am afraid that even more cadres will be dealt with.

The issue of corruption is never a trivial matter.

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest!

The impact of these bugs is too devastating.

"The construction of the party and government is urgent! We must make everyone understand that they should be honest in life, clean in work, and upright in their duties as cadres!" Liu Tao said in a deep voice.

The salary system implemented by Panshan Group is definitely of a high level in the mainland. Everyone receives a high income. In addition, employees eat and live in the factory, and their education and medical care are also borne by the factory. Very few people actually need to bear the burden of personal expenses. It is no exaggeration to say that every household has savings, and households with annual incomes of tens of thousands of yuan are everywhere.

In this era, it is definitely something that everyone envies.

At least every time Panshan Group recruits, everyone is vying for the jobs here.

In the past two years, I have been able to successfully attract a group of talented people when I gave speeches at universities.

However, even so, corruption and power-for-sex transactions were on the rise, which was something Liu Tao could not tolerate.

"Next, the construction of party style work must be strengthened." Liu Tao also realized that just a relaxed environment is not enough, and having the sword of Damocles hanging over one's head by the disciplinary inspection team is not enough either. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of ideological work.

What made Liu Tao sad was that an old employee of Panshan Machinery Factory like Zhang Weihong actually chose to fall into depravity.

This is also the highest-ranking cadre to be punished in the past year.

You know, he treats the old people in Panshan Machinery Factory very well. Those with ability will be promoted first, and those without ability will often receive corresponding treatment, so at least they can live a comfortable life.

Zhang Weihong was the one who was finally allocated a villa. I wonder how many people would be envious of her.

However, Zhang Weihong actually wanted to engage in power-for-sex transactions, but was reported by a female college student who had just graduated, and ended up falling into a trap.

In the afternoon, we discuss plans for the new year.

Next, more factories will be put into use, and these are the key tasks. In addition, it is the further support and improvement of supporting factories.

"Starting this year, we will implement the 'Trial Measures on Profit-to-Tax Conversion for State-owned Enterprises' formulated by our superiors'. Southwest Ordnance Industry will pay taxes at 10% of its turnover, and Southwest Industry will pay taxes at 20% of its turnover," Liu Tao added.

The document "Trial Measures on the Conversion of Profits into Taxes in State-owned Enterprises" was formulated in order to facilitate the establishment and improvement of the economic responsibility system in state-owned enterprises, further invigorate the economy, properly handle the interests of the state, enterprises and employees, and ensure the stable growth of national fiscal revenue.

This document stipulates that all profitable state-owned large and medium-sized enterprises shall pay income tax at an interest rate of 55% based on the profits they realize. After paying income tax, part of the profits of the enterprise shall be handed over to the state, and part shall be retained by the enterprise according to the profit retention level approved by the state. The part handed over to the state can be handed over in four ways according to the different situations of the enterprise: incremental lump sum, fixed ratio, payment of adjustment tax, and fixed quota lump sum.

Panshan Group is a reform pilot unit and is not within the scope of the regulations. However, both the state and local governments need fiscal revenue, so the leaders above personally found him, and thus this fixed interest rate was established, and taxes were paid directly according to the fixed interest rate on turnover.

After paying taxes, the funds will be used for the development of Panshan Group itself.

In addition, Liu Tao emphasized that a key project for next year is the construction of Yangcheng Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.

Yangcheng Shipbuilding Industry Corporation will invest 30 billion to renovate the shipyard so that it will have the ability to build large ships.

This is the shipbuilding industry. The investment in a shipyard is so huge that it is simply shocking.

This can also be said to be the largest single investment since their establishment.

According to Liu Tao's plan, the shipyard will be able to build large warships as well as large merchant ships after its construction is completed.

In China today, there is no shipyard that can build large warships of more than 5000 tons or merchant ships of more than tons.

The entire construction project will last about three years.

After completion, it will become the largest shipyard in China.

Liu Tao was not afraid that he would not be able to recover such a huge investment. Whether it was building warships or merchant ships, the investment could be recovered in a few years.

After the meeting, it was already evening.

Liu Tao arranged for his secretary to ask the canteen to prepare a table of dishes so that everyone could eat together.

Normally everyone is very busy with work and may not get together once a month.

That is to say, the Party group meeting is when the most people gather.

Now it is the end of the year and the Spring Festival is approaching, so Liu Tao took this opportunity to have a dinner with everyone. He even made an exception and put out two bottles of Moutai.

When he is working, Liu Tao almost never drinks alcohol.

This kind of leading by example also influenced other people. Even when other units or higher-ups came to inspect, they often didn't hold a special banquet. They just stayed in the factory's guesthouse and ate in the cafeteria like other workers.

As for what you want to buy, just go to the mall and buy it with your own money.

Liu Tao poured a glass of wine for everyone, and then raised his glass first: "Comrades, thank you for your support over the past year. I also look forward to working together to create new glories!"

"cheers!"

Everyone drank the glass of wine in their hands together.

Compared to the meeting, the atmosphere at the dinner party becomes much more relaxed.

Everyone can talk about whatever they want.
