The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1011 Millennium

New Year's Eve.

Liu Tao returned to the capital to attend a meeting.

There was some exciting news at this conference, that is, the number of counties (cities, districts) across the country that have basically universalized nine-year compulsory education and basically eliminated illiteracy among young and middle-aged people has reached 2430.

This is undoubtedly a feat!
Looking around the world, China is the only country that can invest so much energy, financial resources and manpower in literacy work!
The meeting decided that on Teachers' Day, September 9, next year, which is the year 10, a group of outstanding educators will be honored at the town, county, city and provincial levels. The state will also honor 30 outstanding educators across the country, and all of these outstanding educators are from the grassroots!
It is actually not easy to achieve this step!

But this is not the end, on the contrary, it is just the beginning.

In the future, China will continue to improve the national average education level, continue to increase investment in education, and train more college students, graduate students, and doctoral students to meet the demand for talent in all walks of life.

Up to now, colleges and universities have actually abolished the allocation system and instead have companies recruiting at colleges and universities.

As for government units and public institutions, one must pass the civil service examination and the public institution examination. Only a small number of selected candidates can enter directly or a small number of social talents can be specially recruited.

The huge employment pressure on college graduates in the future is actually a happy trouble for this era or for other countries.

And this situation will not occur in China today, at least in the next ten years or so!
It was also at this meeting that the amendments to the Interim Regulations on Civil Servants were discussed and passed.

The "Interim Regulations on Civil Servants" was issued as early as April 1993, 4, and this time some regulations were revised after six years of practice.

Currently, the country implements the civil service and public institution systems. To ordinary people, it seems that both are the same, but in fact there is a huge difference.

First of all, the nature of their identity. The identity of civil servants is administrative, while the identity of staff of public institutions is public institution. Secondly, in terms of career stability, civil servants do not have to pay public institution insurance, while staff of public institutions have to pay unemployment insurance. Public institution staff adopt a contract employment system and sign labor contracts, while under the same circumstances, civil servants do not have to sign labor contracts.

In terms of salary and benefits, civil servants' salaries are obviously much higher than those of public servants.

In terms of career development, civil servants can be promoted and enjoy section-level treatment after working for a certain number of years, while those with professional titles can only get salary increases based on their professional titles.

In terms of the nature of work, civil servants are mainly engaged in national administrative affairs, while staff of public institutions are mainly engaged in social welfare work or non-profit work.

Now civil servants’ positions are divided into leadership positions and non-leadership positions. Non-leadership positions refer to clerks, section members, deputy chief section members, chief section members, assistant researchers, researchers, assistant inspectors, and inspectors.

The ranks of civil servants are now divided into fifteen levels, which is a huge difference from the 24 levels back then.

Furthermore, the meeting discussed the issue of raising the social wage again.

The most important discussion was about the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is a 'Sky Road' that starts in XN City, QH Province, passes through Golmud City, Kunlun Pass, Tuotuo River, crosses Tanggula Pass, and enters the snowy areas of Anduo, Nagqu, Dangxiong, Yangbajing, and LS. It is 1956 kilometers long and is an important route into Tibet. It is also the highest altitude and longest plateau railway on frozen soil in the world. Once completed, it will be a century-long project and a monument in the history of world railway construction.

The total investment of the entire project is 330 billion yuan!

And this funding comes from national funds, that is, central funds.

Next, the country will start another wave of infrastructure construction, which has been brewing for several years. The exchange rate of the US dollar to the RMB will drop from 1:4 to 1:8!

This means that the central bank has to print a large amount of money to ensure the corresponding wealth!

The last day of 1999 quietly turned, and the world officially entered the year 2000.

From then on, on the first day of the millennium, the 20th century will no longer be called this century, but the 20th century of the last century, and this century will be the 21st century.

It was also New Year’s Day that the Panshan Group Headquarters Office issued a notice for the year-end Party Committee meeting.

On this day, Liu Tao took his secretary and guards to travel around the country.

Liu Tao had a deep memory of what happened at the Huaxia Petroleum gas station before. He wanted to see if there were any gas stations that still dared to commit crimes in defiance of the law, and if there were any other companies that dared to commit crimes in defiance of the law.

At the mid-year party group meeting, Lin Luman, who took over as the leader of the Panshan Group's disciplinary inspection team, also led his troops down to take a look.

Throughout 1999, rectifying unhealthy tendencies was the top priority for Panshan Group, and a large number of people were killed.

Facts have proved that human heart is a bottomless pit. Even with relatively high salaries, some people are still not satisfied and want to get more. They think they should earn more and that getting more is their due.

Facts have proven that the idea of ​​paying high salaries to maintain integrity is not truly flawless and still has many shortcomings.

Many people only regret and cry when they are arrested, and beg for forgiveness, but it is too late.

The instructions given by Liu Tao were to be severe and strict, and to severely rectify the unhealthy tendencies, so as to prevent a single bad apple from spoiling the whole barrel.

The various cases are shocking and worthy of warning, and they involve various jobs and companies. Many things that seem incredible just happen!
These people have to be said to be smart, but they just don't put their intelligence where it should be.

There were even a group of top students among them, but unfortunately they did not stick to their original intentions and went astray.

Of course, there were also many things that made Liu Tao feel gratified, such as retired cadres reporting on their children, or couples reporting on their spouses, etc. This showed that the overall situation was still good, and the large-scale collapse that Liu Tao was worried about did not occur.

This time, Liu Tao adopted a surprise inspection method, such as suddenly going to a gas station to refuel, and then randomly checking the quality and quantity of oil to see whether the China Petroleum Gas Station can ensure the quality and quantity.

There are also random inspections of gas stations to see if there is any random sales promotion, sale of food or drinks, and to take a quick look at how gas station employees eat, etc.

We also randomly visit a company in Panshan Group to conduct spot checks, such as visiting the cafeteria to check whether the cafeteria has been outsourced, how the food is, whether the employees are wasteful, etc.

Last year, an incident was discovered where the canteen of a level six company of Panshan Group was secretly outsourced by the general manager to his relatives in order to make a profit.

The general manager of that company was tried in public in front of all employees in the company and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
