The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 643 A world of difference
In July, the weather is already very hot.

The capital city also welcomed the scorching heat.

In the courtyard and bird-watching house, there is no air conditioning, only a fan, but it is enough.

Commercial housing will be very hot, but courtyard houses will not be that hot.

A pot of tea and two plates of cakes.

Liu Tao is looking at domestic and international briefings.

After all, Yunnan Province is still far behind Beijing in terms of information.

This time he returned to Beijing to attend the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and to start his vacation this month.

The biggest news in the country is that the discussion about economic overheating has reached a new level.

After the reform and opening up, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, China's average annual growth rate is 12.5%, and its annual growth rate is also 12.5%. It can be said that it is the fastest-growing country in the world.

Liu Tao knew that according to statistical rules, China's GDP had exceeded 4 trillion yuan, which is almost 1.17 trillion US dollars (excluding Hong Kong).

As for why the current data should be released, it is naturally to avoid attracting the attention of the United States.

But even so, some experts and professors have been shouting that China's economy is overheated and should be cooled down.

Liu Tao shook his head slightly. The economy was not overheated at that time. There were so many things to build, and the country did not keep saving dollars desperately. Instead, it only kept about 30 to 40 billion US dollars as foreign exchange reserves every year.

These experts and scholars have been to the United States and Europe a few times and they feel like they have become gods.

"Exchange rate~~" I looked at the financial aspects. The central bank announced the exchange rate between the RMB and the world's major currencies. The exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB is 1 US dollar = 3.7221 RMB. This exchange rate has lasted for several years.

It’s not that China doesn’t want the RMB to continue to depreciate, but the US dollar is depreciating too quickly and the RMB can’t depreciate any further.

The Americans are desperately running their printing presses to print dollars. I guess the printing presses are printing so much money that smoke is coming out.

Also, because of the previous Plaza Accord, both the Japanese yen and the German mark appreciated against the US dollar, especially the Japanese yen.

Following the "Toshiba incident", the United States imposed huge fines and severe penalties on Toshiba, and took action against Japanese companies. The Japanese government could not withstand the pressure from the United States and succumbed to the United States. The appreciation of the yen became even more terrifying.

Liu Tao knew that the Japanese economy was doomed. The appreciation of the yen against the US dollar alone was enough to make Japanese products lose their price competitiveness.

He didn't even know how much money was pouring into Japan from around the world to short the Japanese stock and property markets and to earn profits from exchange rate fluctuations.

Even he is doing the same thing, wanting to suck blood and eat flesh from Japan. If he could skin and pull out their tendons, that would be the best.

He was already extremely certain that Japan would lose ten, twenty, thirty, forty or even fifty years!

This also makes people more aware of the importance of building China's financial security system.

Apart from the Japanese economy, the biggest event overseas was Gorbachev's visit to Europe, which showed that the Soviet Union and Europe were rapidly getting closer and improving their relations.

The situation in the whole world is becoming increasingly stable.

Peace and development have truly become the mainstream of the times. All countries are pursuing peace and development and seeking cooperation.

The same is true for China!

Just then, Zhu Lin came in.

"The children are asleep?" Liu Tao didn't raise his head.

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "They are all asleep, but they are really noisy!"

Children take a nap at noon. This is a habit they develop from a very young age. Even after they start primary school, they take a one-hour nap at noon. Now that it is summer vacation, they take a nap at noon.

"None of these little guys is worry-free. They are so noisy." Zhu Lin said helplessly, "They are all very active. None of them likes to read."

Liu Tao smiled and said, "It's the nature of children to like playing. The most important thing is that they grow up happily and healthily."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them do whatever they want to do." Liu Tao is very open-minded about this and does not think that studying is the only way.

In this era, for ordinary families, studying is the best way to change their destiny.

But theirs is not an ordinary family.

What he had saved was enough to make his descendants rich and prosperous for three generations.

His children have the conditions to do what they want.

Besides, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As long as they don’t go astray and don’t harm others, he can accept it even if they do nothing at home every day.

Moreover, the children like to play and don’t like to study, but their academic performance is pretty good.

"You~~ I've never seen a father as open-minded as you." Zhu Lin rolled his eyes at Liu Tao. "The higher your position, the less you care about your family. Do you have a mistress in Kun City?"

Seeing this, Liu Tao quickly begged for mercy, otherwise there would be no end to it.

Soon, it was approaching evening.

The courtyard became very lively, and almost all of Liu Tao's relatives in the capital came.

This time, Liu Tao took another step forward to celebrate.

At this time, the administrative level of Panshan Group Corporation was raised to another level.

As the general manager and party secretary of Panshan Group Corporation, Liu Tao's administrative level was naturally raised by one level.

It is not easy to reach this point at the age of 34.

Before, because of his age, Liu Tao could be said to have been suppressed all the time, but now he can no longer be suppressed.

Previously, China Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation was merged into the ordnance industry systems of southern provinces and restructured into China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, and its level was raised.

The China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation is only a second-level group of Panshan Group.

In addition to China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, Panshan Group also has China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation, China Southwest Electronics Group Corporation, China Communications Investment Holding Group Corporation, China Electric Power Investment Group Corporation, China Construction Group Corporation, China Mobile Communications Group Corporation, China Internet Group Corporation, China Ports Group Corporation, China Shipbuilding Group Corporation, China Southwest Aerospace Group Corporation, China Space Services Group Corporation and other second-level groups.

Panshan Group is too huge, and each of its second-level groups is extremely large. Each of them is very scary when taken individually. The overall total revenue and total profit are also very terrifying.

So far, Panshan Group is the largest taxpayer in the whole of China, and the profits and taxes it pays every year are extremely terrifying.

As for the employees of Panshan Group as a whole, the number has already exceeded one million.

It can be said that the promotion of Panshan Group's administrative level to a higher level is a natural thing.

If we were to say who has the most complicated inner world, it would be the father Liu Zhenbang. Liu Zhenbang is 59 years old this year. As a son, Liu Tao is already far ahead of him as a father.

Within the system, he knows better than anyone how difficult it is to reach this point, and that political achievements, the right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable.

Looking at the journey Liu Tao has taken, it has only been about ten years. As Panshan Machinery Factory has continued to grow, his business has also grown along the way, so it can be said that they have achieved mutual success.

Even Liu Zhenbang was thinking that maybe if he had been the head of the local industrial bureau, he might now be able to take a step forward.
