The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 840 Untitled
Wang Baoguo is in slightly better health than Wang Tiezhu.

But it's not much better.

When people get old, they tend to miss the past.

I miss my former leaders, my former troops, and my old comrades.
There are very few of their old comrades still alive today.

Very few people could live to see the founding of the Republic.

Wang Baoguo wanted to pay tribute to his old comrades, but his body no longer supported it.

Wang Baoguo's retirement benefits are much higher than Wang Tiezhu's.

But in fact, their retirement life is the same, and it is hard to tell who is better or worse.

Liu Tao listened to Wang Baoguo's nagging without any impatience.

They are all pure people with the same ideals in their hearts.

Liu Tao feels that maybe when he is in his eighties or nineties, he will also miss the past like Wang Tiezhu and Wang Baoguo.

Before Liu Tao left, he specifically sought out the person in charge of the sanatorium to give him some instructions.

Although this sanatorium is not under the jurisdiction of Panshan Group, Panshan Group is also one of the jurisdictions because the sanatorium was funded and established by Panshan Group.

The sanatorium is under the dual jurisdiction of Panshan Group and Yunnan Province.

The sanatorium is adjacent to Panshan Group, right next to Dianchi Lake, surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery, excellent greening, and impeccable hardware facilities. It is also a high-end sanatorium specially prepared for senior cadres.

After leaving the sanatorium, Liu Tao did not return to Panshan Group headquarters, but went to Factory 356.

Factory 356 is a code name. It is adjacent to the Panshan Group headquarters and is a large arsenal.

Factory 356 is a code name, and its official name is Yunnan Xiyi Industrial Factory.

Factory 356 is connected to the Panshan Group headquarters. This area is concentrated together, and the security work has always been maintained at a relatively high level. From the outside it seems to be no different from other places, but in fact the internal security work has not been relaxed.

It is truly loose on the outside but tight on the inside.

Over the years, many intelligence personnel from other organizations' intelligence agencies have failed here when they wanted to inquire or infiltrate.

Factory 356 currently has 2 employees, plus their families, a total of 12.5 people.

The Panshan Group headquarters has a total of 15.6 employees and their families.

These two alone brought 28.1 people here.

Together with Southwest University and other companies, research institutions, etc., the population of this area has reached 80.

At the same time, this area is also the most developed place in the entire Kunming City.

Factory 356 and Panshan Group Headquarters seem to be independent systems, but they are closely connected with the outside world.

You can go window shopping, etc. either inside the mall or outside the mall.

And if closed management is implemented one day, it will not affect Factory 356 and Panshan Group at all.

Chen Weimin rushed over as soon as he received the call from the security guard.

Just this year, Chen Weimin was transferred from the position of director of the Tank Engine Factory to the position of director of Factory 356, while also serving as the secretary of the Party Committee of Factory 356.

Panshan Group implements the factory director responsibility system, and the factory director often serves as the party secretary.

It is the company, and the general manager also serves as the party secretary.

Liu Tao transferred Chen Weimin from the director of the tank engine factory to the director of the 356 factory for his own selfish reasons, which was to save his second sister's family from having to live in another place for a long time. When he was at the Panshan Machinery Factory, Chen Weimin took the technical route and started from the grassroots level. He then served as the technical team leader, deputy director of the production workshop, and director of the production workshop. After the tank engine factory was established, he was transferred to the tank engine factory as deputy director, and later as director.

By moving up step by step, you can say that your foundation is relatively stable and no one will gossip about you.

Although it took more than ten years for him to go from an ordinary worker to the position of factory manager, his promotion speed was very fast.

But this kind of thing is very normal in Panshan Group, and there are even many people who are promoted faster than Chen Weimin.

For example, Feng Defeng was already the general manager of Huaxia Southwest Electronics Group Corporation, the deputy general manager of Panshan Group, and a member of the party group. It only took Feng Defeng a few years to get to this point.

"Old Feng is here too?" Liu Tao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Feng Defeng also came to Factory 356.

As the general manager of China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, Feng Defeng manages the China Southern Ordnance Industry system. He has a lot of things to do and is usually so busy with work that they may not meet once a month.

Liu Tao is very satisfied with this confidant he promoted, who is brave and daring, always sticks to his original intention and has never made any mistakes. Therefore, Feng Defeng is currently ranked second among the members of the Party Leadership Group of Panshan Group and is the undisputed number two figure in Panshan Group.

As for Li Weimin, he is currently ranked third among the members of the Panshan Group’s Party Committee.

"General Manager Feng came to inspect our work. The year-end summary is imminent and General Manager Feng attaches great importance to it," said Chen Weimin.

Liu Tao nodded.

The Huaxia Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation is different from other second-level groups because it does not have a direct third-level group/company, but a base. Each province has one production base. Sichuan is special, with three production bases, including the mountain city. Each production base manages a large number of factories/companies.

The person in charge of each production base is often the deputy general manager of China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, and can be said to be a local lord.

It is normal for Feng Defeng to inspect his company before the party committee meeting.

Only by going down and inspecting and finding out the truth can you have a clear idea.

Soon, Liu Tao met Feng Defeng.

At this time, Feng Defeng no longer had the beer belly he had when he was in Guangdong Province. The beer belly was gone, and he looked very capable, with an aura of a leader.

Feng Defeng was accompanied by a secretary.

"Factory Director!" Feng Defeng saw Liu Tao and hurried forward.

The old people who worked at Panshan Machinery Factory back then habitually called Liu Tao "factory director".

Even though Liu Tao had asked them to change their words, they still called him that.

"Old Feng, you've lost a lot of weight recently. You have to take care of yourself!" Liu Tao said with concern, holding Feng Defeng's hand.

Compared to the last time we met, Feng Defeng looked a lot thinner and had dark circles under his eyes, obviously from staying up late.

Liu Tao has always been against this. He believes that you should work hard when you are working and rest well when you are resting.

You can't just work without life.

Just like now, the entire Panshan Group has implemented a strict two-day weekend and 8-hour work system. Unless it is an emergency, there will be no overtime.

The overtime system will only be activated when urgent production is required for large orders.

However, the overtime system has also been changed to two, three or even four shifts, and everyone's working hours are almost the same.

Moreover, after emergency production is completed, employees are often given holidays in batches to compensate them.

Liu Tao was not worried that Feng Defeng had any serious health problems. They had physical examinations four times a year, which meant once every quarter.

Any abnormalities in the physical health of people like Feng Defeng will be reported to Liu Tao.
