The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 317 The Rapid Development of Panshan Group (asking for monthly tickets)

The old man also asked about the current development of Panshan Group.

Panshan Group is now undoubtedly the largest company in the country!

This is true whether in terms of scale, annual revenue, or annual profit!
The higher-ups attach great importance to Panshan Group.

Almost every month, there is a meeting to discuss Panshan Group.

Through the development process of Panshan Group, we can summarize the experience and explore the reform of state-owned enterprises and central enterprises.

Originally, Panshan Group relied on military industry and trade for its development, and it could be said to be walking on one leg.

But now, Panshan Group's civilian sector is developing very rapidly, and home appliances, motorcycles, automobiles, computers, etc. are all developing very rapidly.

This allowed Panshan Group to change from walking on one leg to walking on two legs.

The changes in Panshan Group have made the leaders very pleased.

Before, some leaders were concerned about the future development of Panshan Group.

The rapid development of Panshan Group was mainly due to its military-industrial trade and the favorable conditions of the Iran-Iraq War.

However, no matter how hard the Iran-Iraq War fought, it could not go on forever. Even at that time, the leaders believed that the war would be over in three months at most. By that time, Panshan Group would have taken such a big step and without funds, its capital chain would be broken.

Now Panshan Group is walking on two legs, things are different.

Even if the world situation returns to peace, Panshan Group can rely on the development of the civilian sector and have sufficient development funds.

Liu Tao introduced the current development focus of Panshan Group.

One is the construction of a factory in Hong Kong, which requires an investment of over 10 billion yuan. It is entirely relying on this kind of investment to stabilize people's hearts and leverage more funds.

So far, the profits from Hong Kong have not been withdrawn and remain in Hong Kong, thus stabilizing the development of Hong Kong.

This part of the investment is the largest!

The other is the Shenhai Expressway, with a total investment of 300 billion yuan, invested and constructed by Panshan Group. After completion, the state will grant the right to collect highway tolls for 30 years.

The construction in this regard has been carried out on a provincial basis, which has been divided into city-level units and is currently under construction.

The Shenyang-Haikou Expressway alone has absorbed the pressure brought by the infrastructure engineering corps, railway corps, etc.

A total of 60 people were invested in the construction of the Shenyang-Haikou Expressway project, and it is expected to take 10 years to complete the project.

Labor costs are estimated to be around 30 billion, accounting for about 10% of the total investment of the project.

With a total investment of 300 billion yuan and a total length of 3710 kilometers, it will need to pass through a large number of rivers and mountains and build a large number of bridges and tunnels. For China today, this is definitely a project of the century.

In order to support the Shenhai Expressway project, China Automobile Group even specially produced bulldozers, excavators, pile drivers, tunnel boring machines, earth-moving vehicles, etc. for the construction.

At present, the early stage of construction is more focused on constructing the sections that can be built. Things like tunnels or bridges will not be built until one or two years later.

The next is the expansion of the Yangcheng Shipbuilding Industry Group, which requires an investment of 30 billion yuan and is also a huge project.

When the project is completed, Yangcheng Shipbuilding Industry Group will become the largest shipyard in China, capable of building large warships and large civilian ships.

After completion, Yangcheng Shipyard will have seven-span indoor shipbuilding slipways, two 30-ton docks, a 15-ton semi-dock slipway, and a 5-ton dry dock. Lifting equipment, shipbuilding equipment, etc. will all reach the world's advanced level, making it the largest and most technologically advanced shipyard in China.

In addition to the expansion, Yangcheng Shipbuilding Industry Group is also recruiting a large number of workers.

Of course, in addition to building a shipyard, the Yangcheng Shipbuilding Industry Group is now producing Type 022 missile boats.

Liu Tao also reported on the construction status of production bases in Guizhou Province, Guangxi Province, Sichuan Province and Shancheng Province.

According to previous plans, these production bases were built in a centralized manner and started in batches. Employees from other third-line factories were first sent to Panshan Machinery Factory and other factories for training, and then to the production bases.

Every province has a military production base and a civilian production base, but they vary in size.

For example, the production bases in Gui Province and Guangxi Province are relatively small.

Because there are relatively few third-line factories in the weapons industry system of these two provinces, and their scale is relatively small.

The production bases in Sichuan Province and Shancheng are different. They are much larger and require more investment. They are all divided into five phases for construction.

The third-line factories in Sichuan Province and Shancheng Base alone will employ more than one million people, which is more than the total number of people in Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province and Guangxi Province!

When the leaders heard this, they all nodded.

Panshan Group has provided tremendous help in the resettlement of workers in the third-line factories.

These workers all responded to the country's call and went to the Third Front. They can be said to be the country's heroes. If the times had not been different, they would have become the backbone of China and supported China's unyielding backbone.

These workers must naturally be well accommodated and treated well.

Although it will take Panshan Group several years to completely absorb all the workers, this is already much better than originally expected.

The higher-ups had originally been prepared that, in the wave of military-to-civilian conversion, a number of state-owned factories would successfully reform and grow stronger, while another number would fail to keep up with the times and decline or even eventually go bankrupt.

But now the situation has improved greatly.

At least in terms of military-to-civilian conversion of the weapons industry system, better work can be done and the third-line factories under it can be better placed.

You should know that during the growth process of Panshan Machinery Factory, it has also been continuously supporting and cultivating supporting factories, and the third-line factories in the four southwestern provinces will benefit from it.

Even if all of these are eventually integrated into Panshan Group, Panshan Group will also cooperate with third-line factories in other systems, such as purchasing raw materials and so on.

When eating at the production base, leaders, like the workers, all took lunch boxes and ate their meals. There was no preferential treatment, and some leaders even chatted with the workers.

Liu Tao ate with the old man and reported on the cooperation between Panshan Group and other universities such as Ordnance Seventh Institute.

Panshan Group invests 10 million yuan in these universities every year, and the two sides cooperate. For example, Panshan Group will send experts to the schools to teach to strengthen the school's teaching staff, provide students with summer and winter internship bases, provide scholarships, and donate computers and other equipment.

What started out as a few schools has now expanded to eighteen.

"Your approach is worth a try. At least the talents you cultivate are our own and will not be wasted." The old man said, "The country is in a difficult situation now and has limited investment in education. You can take the initiative to take part of the responsibility, which is worthy of praise."

"And the student military training you are conducting in Yun Province is very good and can be used as a pilot project. If it is effective, it should be promoted not only to schools across the country, but also to all universities!" said the old man.

Now, not all universities require military training for college students. Only a few universities conduct military training, while most universities do not conduct military training.
