Chapter 431 Want to make money and go overseas to get orders

"Your weapons industry has a long way to go, so you must not relax!"

Liu Tao warned.

In recent years, the military has successively placed a number of orders.

A total of 200 Type 80 main battle tanks, 80 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 1,300 Type 81 medium tanks, 700 light tanks, 300 amphibious tanks, and 400 various types of self-propelled artillery and various types of artillery shells, with a total order of 30 billion yuan.

It can be said that these funds were saved by streamlining the army and saving money.

The consensus of the entire army is to build a semi-mechanized force and eventually a mechanized force.

"Director, some comrades within the group are very dissatisfied with the current unit purchase price for troops. They feel that it is too different from the export price, and it should at least be doubled." Zhao Guoping said.

Liu Tao waved his hand: "Comrades can have their opinions, but we need to understand their ideological work. If you don't understand it, you must first acknowledge it. If you don't recognize it, you must first agree. If you don't understand it, you must implement it. If you don't understand it, you must slowly understand it during implementation. "

The completion of the mechanization construction of the army is not only a matter for the army, but also a national event.

Only a strong national defense force can ensure safe economic development.

Without a strong national defense force, economic security and development are impossible.

Only with sufficient national defense strength can we talk about economic security and development.

This can be seen from China's opportunity to implement reform and opening up.

On the contrary, Japan, no matter how well it develops, will still face many obstacles. If it were not for the dog leash around its neck, with Japan's development momentum, it is estimated that it would be possible to become the world's largest industrial power. After all, Japan was in World War II. After that, the industry followed the right path, and only then did Japanese industry develop in great strides.

But now, whether it is the television industry, the semiconductor industry, or the upcoming "Plaza Accord", Japan cannot make big strides forward.

When a dog is fattened, it is not used to bark viciously at its owner, but to be killed and eaten.

The original purchase price was set so low with the intention of supporting the construction of the army.

"We are now a state-owned enterprise. Our first priority in the country is not to make money, but to serve the country and the people!" Liu Tao said solemnly: "If you want to make money, go outside to find orders instead of staying in the office or just At home, we must bravely go out and find orders all over the world!”

"We export military products to feed back the country, rather than always trying to make money from the army!" Liu Tao said: "If any comrade is unable to make sense of his ideas, then demote him and adjust him to other positions."

State-owned enterprises have the mission and responsibilities of state-owned enterprises.

Just like the later National Railway, it spent huge sums of money to invest in the construction of railways, constantly upgraded the railway system, improved luck, and was burdened with huge debts. Many railway lines were actually losing money. This approach has been controversial, but why has the National Railway persisted? Doing it?

Because making money is not the first priority of the national railway at all. It is actually very simple for the national railway to make money. If the fare is doubled, the freight price is doubled. Isn’t it easy to make money?

Similarly, Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation does not take making money as its first priority domestically. Making money can be made from other overseas countries. What is more important domestically is to help the country complete the construction of semi-mechanized and mechanized troops.

Liu Tao has a clear understanding of this.

In addition to its own field, Panshan Group's development also involves other fields, including highways and railways.

In addition to laying a solid foundation and foundation for the Panshan Group, allowing the Panshan Group to walk on two legs, or even three legs or four legs, it can also prevent the situation when the arms cannot be exported and there will be no money or even failure to operate.

There is another very important reason, which is to build an industrial chain and upgrade Chinese industries.

For example, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway has a total investment of 70 billion yuan. It is absolutely jaw-dropping in this era. The number of construction workers used and the difficulty of construction can be called the 'project of the century', regardless of Whether domestic or foreign, professionals or ordinary people, no one can see how the Beijing-Kowloon Railway can make money, and it may not be able to recover its costs in 30 to 40 years.

But not to mention that Liu Tao is optimistic about the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" and believes that the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" will not make money in the near future, but it will have a generous rate of return in ten or twenty years.

Even if there is really no money to be made, Liu Tao will still participate.

First of all, the cost of building one kilometer at this time is only 27.6 million yuan. If it is built again twenty years later, the cost will have to be increased at least ten times.

Secondly, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway is a high-speed railway. The high-speed railway has a long industrial chain, which has strongly promoted the comprehensive upgrading of upstream and downstream industries directly related to the high-speed railway.

The winding and roaring "dragon" of high-speed rail has the "magic power" to turn stone into gold, allowing major industrial sectors to flow and sublimate, giving the old appearance a new look. The huge investment in the Beijing-Kowloon Railway has provided unprecedented market opportunities for traditional industries such as steel, cement, and sand and gravel. Each kilometer of investment consumes an average of 3,330 tons of steel, 20,000 tons of cement, 31,100 tons of sand, and 51,600 cubic meters. Mi Shitou has boosted benefits of more than hundreds of millions of yuan to related industries and created at least 600 jobs.

In other words, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway has boosted benefits to related industries of more than 250 billion yuan and created more than 1.52 million jobs.

In addition, high-speed rail has also driven the rapid development of upstream and downstream industries such as metallurgy, machinery, information, computers, and precision instruments. It can be said that this can form a huge high-tech R\u0026D and manufacturing industry chain, and a number of key equipment manufacturing companies can grow rapidly in the industry chain.

Third, the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway" has promoted the local economy. It used to take three days and three nights from Beijing to Guangdong Province, but now this time has been compressed to about 11 hours.

This has a huge radiation and driving effect on the cities along the "Beijing-Kowloon Railway".

"Comrade Zhao Guoping, I hope you will also have a clear understanding of this point." Liu Tao looked at Zhao Guoping.

He guessed that maybe Zhao Guoping would think so in his heart.

Zhao Guoping nodded and said: "Director, rest assured, I will do ideological work for the comrades."

Liu Tao smiled lightly and said: "This is the best. You have a lot of things to do now. You have to be comprehensive and good at training people. There is no end to the work. The cause we want to do is not something that can be done by one or two people. What is needed is that everyone works together and everyone works in the same direction."

Liu Tao doesn't want Zhao Guoping to go astray.

You know, it is not easy to cultivate a person who can stand on his own feet.

Zhao Guoping's growth helped Liu Tao take on many things instead of letting him get bogged down in trivial matters.

After inspecting the Rongcheng tank and armored production base, they went to the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee. After all, they needed help from the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee in many aspects.

Only by moving around more can we have feelings and understand each other.
