Chapter 634: Trusted General

Kun City, Dianchi Lake.

Panshan Group Headquarters.

The Spring Festival holiday has passed, and the employees who were on holiday have returned to work one by one.

Even if Liu Tao didn't pay much attention, he could still feel the post-holiday syndrome. Everyone was working in the unit, but their hearts were still on holiday.

This state may continue until after the Lantern Festival.

Since Panshan Group got on the right track, unless it is an emergency, it strictly implements the eight-hour work system every day.

There are rarely overtime, two shifts, three shifts or even four shifts like before!

Normal production is enough!

Liu Tao had just returned to the headquarters when Feng Defeng came to the door.

Zhao Guoping left Panshan Group, and Feng Defeng took over as the general manager and party secretary of Huaxia Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, becoming the third person in Panshan Group after Liu Tao and Li Fuguo.

However, Feng Defeng did not completely take over all of Zhao Guoping's positions.

Because the six combined brigades are about to be separated from Panshan Group, Feng Defeng did not serve as the deputy director and political commissar of the Panshan Group's armed forces department.

He also participated less in outside affairs.

Feng Defeng was promoted by Liu Tao, and he was also an old man from the Panshan Machinery Factory era. He was very familiar with the entire Panshan Group. This time he took over as the general manager of the Huaxia Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, and soon completed the handover with Zhao Guoping.

Holding a notebook, Feng Defeng reported to Liu Tao about the current affairs of the Huaxia Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation.

Guangdong Province, Hainan Province, Fujian Province, Jiangxi Province, Hunan Province, Jingchu Province, Anhui Province, Zhejiang Province, and Jiangsu Province are all carrying out the rectification of the weapons industry system, and completely incorporating them into the Huaxia Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation system.

Even though the third-line factories of the weapons industry system in these provinces have all completed the military-to-civilian conversion, there are still many large and medium-sized military factories.

What the Huaxia Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation has to do is to rectify, and at the same time upgrade and transform these military factories, or even demolish and rebuild them.

Because even large and medium-sized military factories have very old factory areas and outdated production lines.

This requires a constant flow of blood transfusion from the China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation. To thoroughly complete the reorganization, the China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation must invest at least 20 billion yuan.

There is also the Rongcheng tank and armored vehicle production base. The first phase of the project has been put into operation. The second phase is expected to be officially put into operation in the middle of next year, and the third phase is expected to be put into operation the year after next.

As for the 011 Aviation Industry Base in Gui Province, it is jointly implemented by the China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation and the China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation.

"Now that the war is gone, there are fewer overseas wars. Our bullet and artillery production lines dare not produce normally." Feng Defeng said this with some worries.

Before, there was no such trouble.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "This part of overseas orders will definitely decrease in the future. There is nothing we can do about it. Now, in addition to the Iran-Iraq War, which country is still fighting in the world?"

"As for other places, even if there is some unrest, the consumption of bullets and artillery shells will not be too great!" Liu Tao shook his head. He was actually mentally prepared for this situation.

Bullets and shells were previously the most consumed in the Iran-Iraq War.

So far, both sides have consumed more than tens of billions of bullets and more than tens of millions of shells.

This is not to say that both sides have fired so many bullets and shells, because many of them will be blown up.

The Iran-Iraq War saw a very interesting situation. Both sides had advanced aircraft and advanced tanks and armored vehicles. There were advanced tactics, as well as backward tactics from World War I and World War II. Even Persia was fighting guerrilla warfare, and guerrilla warfare was getting better and better.

As for other places, the consumption of bullets and shells was not so much.

Of course, the export volume of bullets and shells overseas is still considerable, but it is much less than before.

Another point is that peace has been restored in the southern battlefield, and the consumption of troops has dropped significantly.

"In the future, the focus of exports will still be on tanks and armored vehicles, various self-propelled artillery, aircraft and warships. These are the top priorities." Liu Tao said, he opened the drawer and handed four contract agreements to Feng Defeng.

These four contract agreements were all signed during the Spring Festival in Beijing.

There are big and small contracts.

The big contract is as high as 5 billion US dollars; the small contract is just over 100 million US dollars.

Feng Defeng took a look and smiled, and gave Liu Tao a thumbs up: "The factory director is still amazing. He can sign such a big contract in this trip to Beijing."

Liu Tao smiled: "You should work hard in this regard, visit more embassies, and even go out bravely."

"Now you have signed too few contracts yourself!" Liu Tao said.

Feng Defeng showed a guilty look.

In the military trade business, the big contracts are basically signed by Liu Tao.

This is completely different from the civilian field. The civilian field basically relies on its own sales. Even if it is exported, it mainly relies on its own trading company in Hong Kong to sign orders, using Hong Kong as a springboard to find opportunities all over the world.

"Comrade Zhao Guoping has left, and now you are in charge of the Huaxia Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation. You must increase your efforts in this regard." Liu Tao urged.

Feng Defeng said: "Understood, factory director!"

Liu Tao repeatedly reminded some important matters. Although the revenue of China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation has been surpassed by other companies, it can still contribute a lot of profits every year. Moreover, China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation has taken up half of China's ordnance system, and its ordnance production accounts for more than 70% of the national output.

Although the First Machine Factory can now produce equipment such as the Type 80 main battle tank and the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, the output is very limited, far less than that of Panshan Group.

Moreover, the qualified rate of these equipment produced by other units is not as good as that of Panshan Group, not to mention the excellent rate.

After the integration, although the level of China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation is lower than that of China Northern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, its importance is higher!

In Liu Tao's mind, China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation is the most important and core of all secondary companies!

This is why Feng Defeng was transferred to China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, and his ranking in the party group members soared to third place directly.

If Li Fuguo had not joined the party group earlier, his ranking would even be lower than Feng Defeng.

The ranking of the party group members of Panshan Group, except for Liu Tao, the unshakable party group secretary, is mainly determined by two factors: one is the position, and the other is the order in which they became party group members.

Now that the six combined brigades are about to be separated from Panshan Group, Li Fuguo's departure from Panshan Group has also entered the countdown, and by then Feng Defeng will even become the second in command of the entire Panshan Group.
