The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 402: 300 billion US dollars! ?

Panshan Group Headquarters.

Liu Tao convened an enlarged meeting of the Party Committee of Panshan Group.

All members of the Party groups, members of the Party groups of Southwest Ordnance Industry Group, Southwest Industrial Group, Southwest Electronics Group, and heads of various companies gathered at the Panshan Group headquarters.

At this time, the headquarters building of Southwest Electronics Group had already started construction.

The first topic is to summarize the past year, including both the brilliant achievements and the shortcomings.

1984 was definitely a glorious year for Panshan Group, with both military and civilian fields flourishing.

All arms trade orders are delivered in a timely manner in accordance with contract agreements.

The orders completed in just one year exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

In the international arms market, he is already a well-known arms dealer.

Panshan Group's principle of not attaching any political or economic conditions and its good reputation make it very popular in the international arms market.

In particular, Panshan Group allows multiple settlement methods, which makes many countries ecstatic.

This is most popular in developing countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Breaking through 10 billion US dollars is a milestone.

And this is not all. Many orders for weapons and ammunition are given to the China North Industries Corporation. Otherwise, the number would be even greater just from the orders received.

Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of deliveries were completed here at Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation.

The country has made remarkable and brilliant achievements in the military industry and is no less impressive in the civilian field.

The revenue of Golden Dragon Computer Group itself reached 30 billion US dollars, continuing to hold the position of the de facto largest personal computer manufacturer.

Semiconductor Group is also the world's largest semiconductor company.

All in all, revenue in the civilian sector has also exceeded the 10 billion US dollar mark.

And these do not include the money from Hong Kong.

It can be said that the civilian field has now officially surpassed the military field.

The total revenue of Panshan Group in 1984 was more than 300 billion US dollars.

Contributed a lot of tax revenue to the country.

Of course, part of the tax will remain in Panshan Group because it is withheld from naval warships.

It was also at this time that Liu Tao realized that the revenue for the whole year of 1984 had reached such a huge scale.

Compared with 1983, this is a huge step forward.

When others heard the result, they also applauded excitedly.

Before, they only knew the situation in their jurisdiction, and they had no idea about what was not in their jurisdiction. At this time, at the party group meeting, when Liu Tao said the data from all aspects, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Then comes the excitement!
Because this is the report card of their joint efforts.

Liu Tao was also very excited. A revenue of 300 billion US dollars is absolutely amazing. It would be considered a super giant enterprise in the world.

Not to mention, a large portion of the more than 200 billion US dollars of this from the mainland is exported. Whether it is arms, electronic products, motorcycles or automobile exports, they are all high value-added and huge profits can be earned from them.

Of course, the profit aspect is not so obvious.

A large part of the profits were invested in large investments such as the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, the Shenyang-Haikou Expressway, and the Yangcheng Shipyard.

Not to mention, the mainland's revenue exceeds US$200 billion, and the total tax to be paid is more than US$30 billion, and only about one-third of this is withheld as tax and remains in Panshan Group.

"Comrades, our achievements are brilliant, but in the past year, we have also exposed many problems. There are many that are worth our summary and reflection, and we need to work hard to correct and avoid them." Liu Tao affirmed the brilliant achievements of the past year, and then talked about the shortcomings.

The summary of 1984 lasted for three full days.

First came the summary of Panshan Group Corporation, followed by the summaries of Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, Southwest Industrial Group Corporation, and Southwest Electronics Group Corporation, and then the summaries of the heads of each company.

The subsequent meeting was about the work arrangements for the new year, that is, 1985.

For Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, there are three priorities. The first priority is to ensure that orders are delivered on time in the new year and to continue to maintain its own honor and reputation. So far, there has never been a delay in the delivery of arms. The second priority is to ensure the supply of weapons and ammunition on the front line, because almost half of the weapons and ammunition on the front line are supplied by Panshan Group, and the remaining half are taken from the original ammunition stocks in various places. The third priority is undoubtedly the construction of the "Chengdu Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base".

The 'Chengdu Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base' may seem like just a base, but in fact it contains a large number of supporting factories, which can be said to be an industrial chain.

Once fully completed, the area from Shancheng to Rongcheng will be the most important tank and armored vehicle production base in China, completely surpassing the entire north.

It can be said that Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation has a heavy burden.

"We have now determined the site for the production base with Sichuan and the military region. We expect to complete the design and survey work by May and start construction in June or July," Zhao Guoping said about the current situation of the production base.

As a military production base, it is not only related to Sichuan, but also to the military region.

For example, with regard to Sichuan and Shu, strictly speaking, there is no affiliation between the two parties, but the production base needs help from Sichuan and Shu, whether it is construction land or organizing construction. Moreover, even after it is put into operation in the future, the production base must respect the leadership of Sichuan and Shu.

Not to mention the military, military industrial production bases themselves are important military protection targets, the military has to adjust their deployment and formulate protection measures to protect the military industrial production bases.

As for the Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation's plan to build a tank and armored vehicle production base in Chengdu, both Sichuan and the military will definitely give the greatest support and be the most welcome.

For Sichuan, the huge investment has a very obvious impact on the social economy, and it involves all aspects, as can be seen from the previous investment and construction of two production bases in transmission.

Not to mention the military, the two sides already have a very close relationship.

In addition, Zhao Guoping also introduced the resettlement work of the third-line factories in the weapons industry systems of the four provinces.

After the restructuring of Panshan Machinery Factory, Liu Tao appointed Zhao Guoping as the head of the working group to be responsible for the resettlement of the families of the employees of the third-line factories.

This year is a critical year, because according to the time node set by Liu Tao at the beginning, by this year, all employees of the original weapons industry systems of the four provinces will be properly arranged and dispersed to various production bases.

The original purpose of establishing production bases in Guizhou Province, Guangxi Province, and Sichuan Province was to accommodate these employees. This was also the mission entrusted to Panshan Machinery Factory by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and the state.
