The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 881 Smart
"I really don't understand you. You love adventures even though you have a good life!"

Lin Ning shook his head and said helplessly: "After so many years in the army, how come you became a businessman?"

"It would have been great if you had stayed in Panshan Group." Lin Ning sighed. Panshan Group is well-known throughout the country for its good treatment.

Besides, even if he stays in the city, Wang Jianlin still has a bright future.

But Wang Jianlin just couldn't bear to live in peace and just liked to make trouble.

"What's wrong with being a businessman? Businessmen can make money and they can also contribute to the country." Wang Jianlin said, "I have been in the army for so many years and have fought in all the battles I should have fought. I will never have the chance to fight again. I have been on the battlefield several times and saw my comrades fall down. I was also shot and almost died. Don't think that my two first-class merit medals are glorious. They were earned with my life."

"Some of our comrades have died. They were very young, some were only in their twenties." Wang Jianlin sighed, "Next year on Qingming Festival, I will take you to the Martyrs Cemetery to sweep the graves of our comrades."

Lin Ning fell silent at this time.

Her father was a soldier. Since she was a child, she had heard her mother talk about her father going out to fight in the war and her mother being worried and fearful at home.

What Wang Jianlin said at this time made her think of the danger of the battlefield.

Wang Jianlin regained his composure: "There are risks, but they are not actually that big, and the benefits are huge. We can get almost a 100% return rate."

"The loan will require a lot of money, probably 3 million yuan. We will sell each phase as we build it. When we have funds, we can build the second and third phases!" said Wang Jianlin.

Wanda earned more than 3 million from the old city renovation, but a lot of this money still needs to be invested in the "old city renovation" project, because the "old city renovation" project is actually very profitable.

The most important thing is that if the 'old city renovation' project is done well, the city will pay more attention to it and it will be easier for him to get the land.

We can only turn a blind eye to some of the skirting boards in the opening of commercial housing.

Wang Jianlin said, "However, the head of security at the Liao Province branch of Xiangjiang Bank is my comrade-in-arms. We also have military medals and certificates, so we have a very favorable loan interest rate."

Some of the retired soldiers choose to work as security guards in the armed departments of various factories and companies, while others choose to leave directly with full retirement pay.

Wang Jianlin just chose to leave.

In the evening, Wang Jianlin and others had dinner at a seafood restaurant.

"Old Gong, thank you for your help!" Wang Jianlin was a little drunk and patted Gong Ming on the shoulder.

Gong Ming is the security chief of the Liaoning Branch of Heung Kong Bank.

"Battalion Commander, I will definitely help you with this!" Gong Ming patted his chest.

Gong Ming said: "Some comrades opened veteran restaurants, veteran furniture and other stores after retiring. They all had appointments for loans. According to the leaders, we veterans are the most reliable and have the highest credit. Now we build high-speed railways and highways for free. They say our previous wages were too low."

"If you, battalion commander, had not chosen to retire, you would at least be a deputy brigade commander now." Gong Ming felt very regretful.

"We have all retired, so don't mention those things anymore. We all know that the leaders treated us well. Look at what we got, it's much more than other brother troops." Wang Jianlin burped, "It's hateful that some parasites dared to even lay their hands on the pensions and subsidies of their fallen comrades. They deserve to be killed."

Speaking of this, everyone else was very angry.

At this time, Liu Tao was also furious while attending a meeting at the Panshan Group Armed Forces Department. At the year-end party group meeting before the Spring Festival, Liu Tao signed a subsidy of 4.5 million yuan to soldiers and logistics personnel who had been on the battlefield, a total of 15 people, with an average of 3000 yuan per person.

But some people did not receive the subsidy. Such a big thing happened again in this regard. How could Liu Tao not be angry?

"What on earth are you doing for a living, you good-for-nothings!" Liu Tao hadn't expected that after Li Fuguo left, the armed forces department changed its leader, and things started to go wrong. "Zhu Aihua, tell me, did you get involved?"

Zhu Aihua, head of the armed forces department of Panshan Group, took over Li Fuguo's position.

Zhu Aihua quickly said, "Leader, absolutely not! I have also been to the battlefield, how could I be greedy for the subsidy of my comrades?"

"Now you must accept the investigation of the Discipline Inspection Team and must not leave the headquarters within the specified time!" Liu Tao said angrily, "Investigate thoroughly. I want to find out who dared to lay hands on this subsidy."

"No matter who is involved, they will be severely punished!" Liu Tao was furious.

He especially missed Li Fuguo and the others at this time. When Li Fuguo and the others were around, he didn't need to worry about them.

In order to find out the truth, Liu Tao asked Panshan Group's secretariat, discipline inspection team, audit department and other departments to conduct a joint investigation.

Part of the investigation team examined the staff of the Armed Forces Department, while another part made phone calls and checked the lists one by one to see who did not receive the subsidy.

Even if it is a martyr who has died, we will visit him personally if we cannot contact him.

Ten days later, the investigation team had found out the whole story.

A full 3000 people on the list did not receive the subsidy, and were unaware of the existence of the subsidy. The amount involved reached 900 million yuan.

There were people from the armed forces department who tampered with the money, and there were also cases where staff from the armed forces department made mistakes and gave the money directly to the local armed forces department, which then passed the money on, and as a result, the money was lost.

Liu Tao dealt with the person who asked for help without mercy and sent letters to various provinces.

He must spit out everything he eats, and he must pay the price if he deserves it.

Liu Tao held a meeting in the Armed Forces Department and severely criticized the department, especially the head of the department, Zhu Aihua, and imposed penalties on him in order to hold Zhu Aihua accountable for his leadership.

A serious warning made Zhu Aihua lose face, but as the person in charge, he could not escape the responsibility for such a big incident.

Liu Tao transferred Zhu Aihua and then promoted the Deputy Minister of the Armed Forces, Zhao Leifeng, to be the Deputy Minister of the Armed Forces.

Zhao Leifeng had been overseas for five years before being transferred back to the Ministry of Armed Forces as deputy minister last year. He is the same age as Liu Tao and is 39 years old this year. He is not the most experienced deputy minister in the Ministry of Armed Forces, and is not even a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Armed Forces. However, Zhao Leifeng has a good reputation and performs very well at work.

After Liu Tao dealt with the matter, he felt more and more troubled. The company was so large, with more and more internal problems. Not a small number of people had to be dealt with every year, but there were still people who took risks and some who were lazy in their work.

The company was facing various problems in its development. He finally understood how difficult it was to become a century-old company.

Just like the staff of the armed forces department, they thought they couldn't get in touch, so they contacted the local armed forces department and asked the local armed forces department to transfer the information. This is simply naive. At the same time, it is also slack. This can be done through the China Mobile Group to get the contact information.

But they are unwilling to do such a simple thing.
