Chapter 557: Ambition in the Shipbuilding Industry

Before Li Weimin was transferred to Panshan Group, he had heard of Panshan Group, but he didn't know much about it.

After the organizational talk, Li Weimin also learned about it before coming to Panshan Group.

However, the report materials on paper are far less intuitive and shocking than what you can learn after coming to Panshan Group in person.

Although Panshan Group is only a vice-ministerial state-owned enterprise under the State Machinery Industry Commission, there are hundreds of such companies across the country, but only by understanding Panshan Group in detail can you feel the shock it brings.

Panshan Group has six second-level group companies under its jurisdiction, namely China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, China Southwest Industry Group Corporation, China Southwest Electronics Group Corporation, China Transportation Investment Holding Group Corporation, China Electric Power Investment Group Corporation, and China Construction Group Corporation.

Among the six second-level group companies, China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation was promoted to vice-ministerial level this year.

The entire southern ordnance industry system has been fully integrated into China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, and the total number of employees will exceed one million.

It produces various firearms, self-propelled artillery, tanks and armored vehicles, military vehicles, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles, torpedoes and other weapons, and even warships can be counted among them.

Although Huaxia Southwest Industrial Group Corporation was reorganized this year, it currently has Huaxia Automobile Group Co., Ltd., Huaxia Motorcycle Group Co., Ltd., Huaxia Yangcheng Shipyard, Huaxia Mawei Shipyard, Huaxia Rongcheng Port Group, Huaxia Ludao Port Group, Huaxia Southwest Machine Tool Industry Group, etc., which are not as good as before.

However, Huaxia Southwest Industrial Group Corporation is still very large. Huaxia Automobile Group Co., Ltd. alone has more than 200,000 employees, including automobile manufacturing plants, automobile research institutes, automobile repair plants, etc., and the scale of Huaxia Automobile Group Co., Ltd. is still expanding.

Huaxia Motorcycle Group Co., Ltd. currently has more than 150,000 employees, including motorcycle manufacturing plants, motorcycle research institutes, motorcycle repair plants, etc., and is also expanding rapidly.

The output of automobiles and motorcycles produced by Huaxia Automobile Group and Huaxia Motorcycle Group is much more than that of other automobile factories and motorcycles in China.

Each group has more than ten companies under its jurisdiction.

This time, he and Liu Tao came to Yangcheng Shipyard. Li Weimin was shocked by the large scale, advanced and complete equipment and large number of workers of Yangcheng Shipyard.

This was the first time he left the Communist Youth League system and worked in another system, which exposed him to many things that he had not been exposed to before.

In the past, he felt that China was very backward and poor, far behind the developed countries in the world.

However, what he came into contact with in this short period of time made him see a different landscape. He realized that there were many things in China that had reached the world's leading level and were becoming bigger and stronger. As long as China was given time, it could become strong quickly.

China is not inferior to any country.

The Chinese nation is not weaker than any country.

Of course, what made Li Weimin difficult to accept or adapt was that after coming to Panshan Group, his salary was more than ten times higher than before.

And he was also equipped with a high-end Huaxia car, with a dedicated driver, a dedicated secretary team and dedicated security personnel.

When he received his first month's salary, his hands were shaking, and he even asked if it was sent to the wrong person.

"Comrade Weimin, the shipbuilding industry will be a focus of our efforts in the future. In the next few years, we will invest more than 10 billion yuan in the shipbuilding industry." Liu Tao said to Li Weimin, "Now the yen has appreciated a lot, and the labor cost of Japanese workers is very high. The shipbuilding industry in Japan is already a low-profit or even loss-making industry. Japan used to be the king of the world's shipbuilding industry, and its annual orders and completion volume ranked first in the world, accounting for more than 50% of the market share."

"Now that the shipbuilding industry in Japan is not profitable, it will inevitably be transferred. Now South Korea is heavily subsidizing the shipbuilding industry and wants to take over the transfer of Japan's shipbuilding industry." Liu Tao said, "The shipbuilding industry is a very comprehensive project that can drive a lot of industrial chains and provide a large number of jobs."

"We must seize this rare plan, vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry, and replace Japan as the center of the world's shipbuilding industry!" Liu Tao said firmly.

Now China is developing very fast, the restructuring of state-owned enterprises has improved greatly, and more and more people are going into business, and private enterprises are becoming more and more active, providing a large number of jobs for the society.

But there are still many people without jobs, because China has too many people and too many laborers.

It is impossible to make a country strong by relying on agriculture alone!

Only industry can make a country strong!

Manufacturing is the one that creates social wealth.

Although Liu Tao also attaches importance to the financial industry, in his opinion, the financial industry is a tool, a channel, and a channel for making money. The money obtained will eventually be invested in industry and infrastructure construction.

Although Li Weimin came to Panshan Group with Liu Tao's nod, to be honest, he did not know Li Weimin now.

Li Weimin is only 32 years old, very young, and a top student, but he used to work in the Communist Youth League. This is his first time in an enterprise. To be honest, Liu Tao is not very confident whether he can be competent for the new position and lead the Huaxia Southwest Industrial Group Corporation.

China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation is a big ship, and it needs a good captain to lead the ship to sail faster, more steadily and more safely.

Li Weimin picked up a pen and wrote in his notebook. Although he had not been in Panshan Group for long, he could feel how high the prestige and influence of Liu Tao, who was the same age as him, were in Panshan Group.

The most important reason why Panshan Group can be what it is now is that Liu Tao has developed a series of products and mastered a series of technologies, which made Panshan Group develop like a rocket.

Before coming to Panshan Group, some leaders above also talked to him specifically.

Li Weimin knew very well that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Panshan Group and do a good job, he had to be consistent with Liu Tao.

Otherwise, his work in Panshan Group would be very difficult and he would not last long.

Li Weimin was more concerned about the employment that the shipbuilding industry mentioned by Liu Tao could bring.

Accompanied by the person in charge of the shipyard, the two inspected the entire Yangcheng Shipyard. As for the warships under construction, Li Weimin was not taken there because Li Weimin was in charge of the field of civilian ships and was not suitable for contact with military confidential equipment such as warships.

That night, they lined up in the canteen to get food and dishes like the workers, and then sat with the workers, chatting with them while eating.

The aunties with red armbands on their shoulders were scanning everywhere with a serious face and unfriendly eyes. If someone did not finish eating in the canteen and wasted food, they would inevitably be criticized. In serious cases, the whole factory would even be criticized and warned.

These aunties with red armbands are definitely the ones that all factory workers don’t want to provoke the most, because even if the factory leaders are targeted by them, they will lose face.
