Chapter 26 Astronomical Numbers
On this day, Liu Tao came to the factory director's office with the drawings.
"Comrade Liu Tao, what are you doing?" Wang Tiezhu was stunned.
Although Liu Tao also holds the position of assistant to the factory director, he does not necessarily come to the factory director's office once a week.
"Director, didn't I suggest re-planning our factory before? Now the planning and design have come out." Liu Tao said with a smile.
"So fast?" Wang Tiezhu looked incredulous.
During this period of time, Liu Tao was busy assembling the bullet production line and testing the products. Wang Tiezhu knew how busy he was.
Liu Tao didn't even attend some meetings.
What appeared in front of everyone during this period was that Wang Tiezhu held a commendation meeting and announced to all factory workers that Liu Tao had won the two honors of "Advanced Cadre Learning from Lei Feng" and "Model Model of Advanced Scientific and Technological Workers of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense".
Now that the third bullet production line has just been debugged and started trial production, Liu Tao actually said that the planning and design are actually ready.
"Director, I am familiar with the terrain in our area, so planning will be easy." Liu Tao spread out the general plan on the table.
The A0 drawing directly covered the table.
Wang Tiezhu wore reading glasses and watched.
Liu Tao explained it in person, and the terrain such as rivers and mountains was clear.
"Director, this is the general plan I have planned. The total planned area is 100 square kilometers. Sentries will be placed in these places as a warning." Liu Tao pointed to the fictitious red line, which covers 100 square kilometers, almost the size of a town.
"Comrade Liu Tao, is it necessary to have such a big plan?" Wang Tiezhu frowned. Panshan Machinery Factory is only so big, with a total number of less than 4,000 people.
"Director, the plan is so big for two purposes. One is for future development, and the other is for safety. Our factory is not an ordinary factory, but a military factory. Safety is the first priority. This area can ensure Secret and safe," Liu Tao explained.
Wang Tiezhu nodded.
In a military factory, safety is the most important thing.
The principle of third-line construction is ‘backing, dispersion and concealment’!
"In these places, when our factory becomes a large-scale military factory, we will have to set up air defense positions to ensure that it will not be bombed by the enemy's air force." Liu Tao knew that to convince Wang Tiezhu, he had to emphasize safety: "Our factory, now Unlike before, hundreds of thousands of guns and hundreds of millions of bullets can be produced in a year, so safety must be taken into consideration.”
Wang Tiezhu's body shook and he agreed with Liu Tao's statement.
"This is the factory area I planned. These two narrow places serve as the entrance and exit of the factory. Including our current factory area, a total of 2,350 acres of land is planned. The left bank of Panshan River is planned to be used as a living area and office area to build dormitories, schools, hospitals, cinemas, canteens, etc. , the right bank is used as a production area," Liu Tao introduced one by one.
He also took out the floor plan and design drawings of each district and introduced them together.
Wang Tiezhu's eyes were shining. If it is built according to the plan, Panshan Machinery Factory will undoubtedly become the largest military factory in the entire Yun Province.
Moreover, the factory Liu Tao introduced was clean, tidy and well-organized.
Even air raid shelters have been taken into account, and mountains will be hollowed out and converted into air raid shelters and production areas.
It can be said that it is far superior to the current Panshan Machinery Factory.
"But without fields and farms, how can we grow food, raise chickens, ducks, and pigs?" Wang Tiezhu frowned.
The fields and farms of Panshan Machinery Factory ensure that Panshan Machinery Factory can be self-sufficient. Everyone can survive not by going to the town to buy food, but by growing their own food, raising chickens, ducks and pigs.
"Director, what we want to build is a large-scale military factory, a modern large-scale military factory. We can buy food, and the breeding farms can cooperate with nearby villages." Liu Tao talked eloquently.
The just-concluded conference has completely kicked off the great prelude to reform and opening up. The next 40 years will usher in a new era.
A magnificent and great era has begun.
"Your plan is so big, I'm afraid it will cost two to three million!" Wang Tiezhu touched his sparse hair and became embarrassed.
Liu Tao smiled and said: "I did the math. To build it all, the entire factory will cost a total of 40 million."
What! ?
4000! ?
Wang Tiezhu was dumbfounded.
Since the establishment of Panshan Machinery Factory, the cumulative output value has been far less than 40 million. In the past, the factory could only barely maintain operation, and he had to constantly complain to the superiors and ask for alms, so that he could persist until now.
Fortunately for Liu Tao, re-planning the factory actually cost 40 million.
"Even if we sold our entire factory, we wouldn't be able to sell it for 4 million, let alone 40 million!" Wang Tiezhu was angry and funny at the same time.
Liu Tao smiled and said: "Director, we can definitely get 40 million."
"Fart, play the piano randomly, where did we get so much money!" Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but use vulgar words.
"Director, let me do the math for you. This month, we have delivered 3,500 'Type 78' pistols, 13,600 'Type 78' automatic rifles, 25,000 rounds of pistol bullets, and 6 million rounds of rifle bullets, not counting other weapons. Ammunition, even with these, the total revenue is 9.34 million yuan, the cost is 4.63 million yuan, and the profit is 4.71 million yuan," Liu Tao calculated for Wang Tiezhu.
Although Wang Tiezhu is the director of the factory, he does not know much about the financial situation of the factory because he does not read much.
On the contrary, Liu Tao, the assistant to the factory director, knew this very well.
"Coupled with the 2 million yuan in production line construction costs allocated by superiors, our factory now has more than 7 million yuan available to us." Liu Tao said that the money for these weapons and pills was provided in a timely manner.
According to the planned unit price, a '78-type' pistol costs 200 yuan, a '78-style' automatic rifle costs 600 yuan, a pistol bullet costs 4 cents, and a rifle bullet costs 8 cents.
Liu Tao knows these data very well.
"My dear, is our factory so rich now?" Wang Tiezhu's eyes widened and he still couldn't believe it.
In his impression, Panshan Machinery Factory was so poor that sometimes they had to take factory soldiers into the mountains to hunt just to survive.
As a result, Liu Tao told him that the money currently available in the factory was more than 7 million yuan.
7 million yuan, that’s an astronomical sum of money.
"Director, if you think about it, we didn't produce much this year. We only produced 120,000 '78-type' automatic rifles, 20,000 '78-style' pistols, 200,000 rounds of rifle bullets, and 50 million rounds of rifle bullets. This is The revenue is 80 million yuan and the profit is 40 million yuan. We only need the money earned in one year to rebuild the entire factory." Liu Tao's eyes flashed.
40 million yuan is indeed an astronomical sum in this era.
After all, everyone's salary is generally around thirty or forty yuan.
But Liu Tao knew that the earlier the construction, the better. It would not only expand the scale of Panshan Machinery Factory, but also save investment.
The current investment only requires 40 million yuan. If it is placed 40 years later, not to mention the complicated procedures and approvals required, the investment will be at least a hundred times greater.
Panshan Machinery Factory is making money now. If it is not spent, then the superiors know that they can take most of the money with just one document.
