The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 843 The Crying Child

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

Liu Tao cannot guarantee that everyone is good and will not deteriorate.

But he must ensure the self-purification ability of the cadre team and clean up rats, rats and termites in a timely manner!
Make mice dare only stay in the dark and not dare in the light, make mice become street rats that everyone shouts and beats.

Let all termites be cleaned up in time.

Only by ensuring the self-purification ability of the cadre team can we avoid the situation where a single bad apple spoils the whole barrel.

Every year’s team building is held in revolutionary holy places and red holy places. Our purpose is to tell everyone that today’s days are hard-won, and that China’s rejuvenation still has a long way to go, and we must strive for it.

Even Panshan Group invites scholars to give lectures internally to warn everyone.

Where there is praise, there will naturally be criticism!
If there is only praise, then everyone will think that everyone has done a good job and will become proud and complacent.

That’s why criticism is needed. Criticism is a kind of encouragement that encourages everyone to keep moving forward and work harder in the new year.

For example, Liu Tao criticized a factory for serious waste in the canteen, which was also the first case within Panshan Group.

It is obvious that the factory leaders do not pay attention to this aspect.

Liu Tao hated this kind of thing.

When he eats in the cafeteria, he always eats cleanly.

Liu Tao was angry about this waste of food.

You have to know that China has only solved the problem of hunger in recent years. When there was a shortage of food domestically, China imported large amounts of food from abroad to improve the situation and solve the problem of hunger.

In just a few years, some people have forgotten the feeling of hunger.

Of course, Liu Tao criticized not only this one thing, but many more.

Panshan Group is so large that we have discovered too many shortcomings.

There are phenomena such as inaction and greed.

The entire party group meeting lasted for a full seven days.

Of course, not everyone who attended the meeting at the beginning attended the full seven-day meeting. The vast majority of people left early.

Because some meetings are not suitable for them to attend.

The Party Committee meeting had just ended when Liu Tao welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Why are you here!?" Liu Tao was surprised to see a leader in the team.

The leader laughed and said, "Your Panshan Group is a major taxpayer. Whether we can have a good New Year depends on you. I have to come here."

"What big taxpayer? I'm just paying according to regulations." Liu Tao laughed, "Since you're here, I'll have someone settle the accounts and pay the money that should be paid."

The leader waved his hand and said, "Anyway, the money that your Panshan Group has handed over has not been delayed until the New Year, so I still believe in you."

Since Panshan Group started to pay profits and taxes in order to cooperate with the higher authorities, it has always done a good job in this regard and has never been accused of anything, which earned it a good reputation.

Moreover, unlike the lower levels, they are slow to pay the money, and they only pay according to the growth regulations, and never pay more.

Even a fool knows what's going on.

"There are some things I want to talk to you about in person." The leader said with a smile.

Liu Tao asked curiously, "What do you want to discuss? If you have anything to say, why don't you just give me a call? Do you think I dare not agree?"

"The last time Comrade Wang Qian came here, he hit a snag with you, so I had no choice but to come here," said the leader.

Well, Liu Tao already understood why the leader came here. In fact, Liu Tao was mentally prepared for this.

Wang Qian, it’s not enough to talk about this.

Why can we increase it just like that?

It doesn't make sense!
Leading the leaders and their entourage into the Panshan Group headquarters, the secretary arranged for other people to connect with other departments, and Liu Tao brought the leaders to the reception room of his office.

Boil some water, and then Liu Tao took out a pack of mother tree Dahongpao from the cupboard.

The mother tree's Dahongpao is something that even leaders only drink occasionally.

"Leader, this pack of mother tree Dahongpao was obtained from my old leader last time I visited him. I usually can't bear to drink it." Liu Tao said with a smile, then took out the tea leaves and put them into the teapot.

Flush water and make tea.

The water here is all mountain spring water.

Mountain spring water is sweet and perfect for making tea.

The better the tea, the higher the water requirement.

The leader said, "I heard you have a lot of good stuff here, it seems to be true. I can only get one or two ounces of this tea every year, and I usually don't want to drink it. It seems I will have a treat today."

After drinking two cups of tea.

"The country's finances are in trouble now, and we need you to provide more funds." The leader began to talk about business.

The profits and taxes that Panshan Group needed to pay in 1992 were naturally handled by other people.

This is the matter he wants to solve.

Liu Tao complained: "Leader, when our Panshan Group was still Panshan Machinery Factory, we were a reform pilot unit. We crossed the river by feeling the stones and grew stronger step by step. From the beginning to the end, we never asked for a penny from the higher-ups."

"We even took the initiative to help our superiors solve problems, first the third-tier factories in Yunnan Province, then the entire southwest, and then the entire south. We invested tens of billions of RMB in this, and we didn't ask our superiors for a penny."

"In 1982, we took a huge risk to invest in building a factory in Hong Kong to stabilize Hong Kong." Liu Tao counted the events one by one, "We actively participated in national defense construction, and successfully developed weapons and equipment one by one, but we never asked the higher authorities for any research and development fees. We basically provided the military with cost prices, and made almost no profit."

"That's right. When they asked us to cooperate with the tax reform, we didn't say a word. We don't make money from providing weapons and equipment to the military, but we still pay taxes. Look at which military factory in the country is like us. Has the Northern Ordnance Company paid taxes in recent years?" Liu Tao complained.

He understood that the crying child gets the milk.

If you don't cry, no one will care about you.

After hearing this, the leader's face turned red.

Because the facts Liu Tao said were not exaggerated at all.

Not only did the Northern Ordnance Company not pay any taxes, it also had to allocate a considerable amount of money every year to maintain its operations.

As for the military, it goes without saying that aren’t those new equipment all provided by Panshan Group at cost price?

As we all know, the international prices of those equipment are several times higher than what Panshan Group provides to the military, and some are even ten times higher.

Even for many equipments, even if you are willing to accept a high price, others are unwilling to sell them to you.

Look at it now. Except for nuclear submarines, the navy has exported all its old warships and replaced them with new equipment. Relying on these new warships, the navy's strength has increased by more than ten times.

At least the Navy dares to pat its chest and confidently declare, "Use me in the first battle, and I will definitely win."

The Air Force has also upgraded its weapons. The J-5 and J-6 have all been retired, and some can be exported to reduce losses. Now they are equipped with many advanced aircraft. For every F15 fighter jet bought from the Americans, they can be equipped with several J-11 fighter jets. The Air Force also stated that the J-11 fighter jet is easier to use and has stronger combat effectiveness.

Not to mention, the Americans have stopped selling advanced fighter jets to China.
