The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 825 A great harvest
The air show ended after a few days.

The Chinese delegation gained a lot.

There are hundreds of intended orders for various types of aircraft, plus corresponding weapons, pilot training, etc., with a total value of nearly US$2 billion.

Although these intended orders are for more than ten, twenty, or even five aircraft, the total intended orders are considerable.

Huang Yi and Yang Ming accept all offers, even if it is just an intention order, they are willing to sign it.

The intention orders received by China cannot be compared with those received by the Americans, French, British and others. For example, the intention orders received by the Americans, including civil passenger aircraft and military aircraft, have a contract value of more than 20 billion US dollars. Although the intention orders received by the French and British are not as good as those received by the Americans, they also have intention orders worth 70 to 80 billion US dollars.

After the air show ended, the Chinese delegation did not immediately set off back.

First, the fighter jets have to fly back, and then further communication must be conducted with the customers who have signed intention orders, contacting potential customers and facilitating transactions as much as possible.

When the delegation returned to China, it happened to be National Day.

Liu Tao returned to the capital with his wife and children to celebrate National Day.

Panshan Group will have a seven-day holiday for this National Day.

Except for essential staff on duty, most people were able to get seven days of holiday.

As for those on duty, they can either take compensatory leave later or choose triple overtime pay.

Before the Gulf War, everyone was very busy, but now that is no longer necessary. This is a normal period and we just need to carry out normal production.

Even the operating rates of bullet production lines and firearms production lines are not high.

From 1979 to now, the army has never stopped replacing its equipment, and the replacement of firearms has long been completed.

Pistols, rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, sniper rifles, anti-aircraft machine guns, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, etc. are all equipped to the troops.

What the army is relatively short of now is new tanks and armored vehicles!
In the next three to five years, this shortcoming will be made up.

On National Day, Liu Tao set up a banquet at home and personally entertained Zhao Guoping, Li Fuguo and his family.

Like Zhao Guoping, although Li Fuguo spent a long time in the Zhurihe base and part of his time going to the Qilian Mountains, his wife worked at the Women's Federation at the Panshan Group headquarters, so Li Fuguo's family still stayed at the Panshan Group headquarters.

The youngest of Li Fuguo's children is already in college.

Unlike Liu Tao and Zhao Guoping, Li Fuguo has a patriarchal style in his family. His children chose to go to military school whether they were willing or not.

As a result, all of Li Fuguo's children were admitted to the National Defense University.

Li Fuguo's son joined a combined battalion as a soldier right after graduating from the National Defense University. He was given the rank of company-level cadre and after years of training, he became a tank company commander.

After this period of recovery, the twelve combined brigades are basically fully staffed and equipped.

But the combat effectiveness has not yet recovered.

It will take at least another year and a half to recover its true combat effectiveness.

It is conceivable that the large-scale departure of people has caused great trauma to the combined forces brigade.

Zhao Guoping went to the capital this time to attend a meeting and take a vacation at the same time.

After several years of hard work, the Shanghai-Shenzhen High-Speed ​​Railway has finally opened to traffic. In about three years, the entire project will be completed.

Now the countdown has begun for Zhao Guoping to leave Ludao.

Next, Zhao Guoping will go to Rongcheng and move from governing a city to governing the development of a province.

Ludao has a population of only about one million people.

The entire Fujian Province has a population of over 30 million.

In terms of population, the governed population increased thirty times.

The area of ​​Ludao is 1699.39 square kilometers, while the land area of ​​Fujian Province is 12.4 square kilometers, which is nearly 73 times larger. This is a greater test for the ability.

The departments and cadres that need to be managed are also larger.

While they were eating, the children went out to play, Zhu Lin and others also went out, leaving only Liu Tao, Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping.

"Director, your decision this time is inappropriate." Zhao Guoping sighed. He didn't want to bring up this matter when Zhu Lin was around.

Zhu Lin was pregnant, and when Liu Tao reported the matter, it caused quite a stir.

Many people criticized Liu Tao for taking the lead in breaking the rules as a leader and failing to set a good example.

Some people even took the incident to a serious level, hoping to use it to deal a fatal blow to Liu Tao.

Panshan Group is so large that it represents countless interests.

Most people would be jealous.

However, Panshan Group is like Liu Tao's independent kingdom, where everyone has to act according to the rules set by Liu Tao.

I don’t know how many people envy Liu Tao.

Not to mention, a number of people have been dealt with within Panshan Group over the years. Some were sentenced to prison and had free meals, with no chance of a career in politics anymore, and some were even shot.

Hating Liu Tao is no small matter.

These people wanted to bring down Liu Tao, but they never had the chance.

But now, Liu Tao took the initiative to hand the handle to them.

Even though Zhao Guoping was on Lu Island, he heard the noise in the capital.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "Let me make another choice, I can't do it!"

"We can't send Zhu Lin to Hong Kong, I won't feel at ease if I do that!" Liu Tao shook his head and said, "Since I have made the choice, I won't regret it."

Zhao Guoping said, "We can wait until the baby is born before leaking the news. Now everyone is arguing about it and there is no conclusion."

Zhao Guoping sighed, "If this matter is not handled properly, it will be very troublesome."

"No trouble. If the argument continues, I will simply resign and go home to be with my wife and children." Liu Tao smiled. He had already prepared himself mentally.

Zhao Guoping's face changed. "How can you have such an idea? If the leader hears it, I will definitely be criticized!"

Liu Tao's words were equivalent to quitting the job.

It may seem like freedom, but in the eyes of leaders, it is a sign of immaturity and irresponsibility.

In his position, he seeks his government.

Liu Tao leads Panshan Group, which has achieved rapid development over the past decade. It has not only solved a lot of problems that have been bothering the country, but also provided a large amount of profits and taxes to the country every year.

The profits and taxes that Panshan Group provides to the country every year are much greater than those of Modou.

If Liu Tao quits, it will cause great unrest.

In Zhao Guoping's opinion, Liu Tao is the most suitable person to be the helmsman of Panshan Group. He has enough prestige, ability and no selfish motives.

"Yes, Director, please don't say that again, especially in front of the leaders." Li Fuguo said with a smile, "You always told us that you would fight for the rejuvenation of China all your life. Why do you want to quit now?"

After so many years of experience, Li Fuguo's ability, vision and political awareness are far beyond what they were before.

The matter of Liu Tao is very big if you look at it big, but it is also insignificant if you look at it small.

Now the two sides are actually just playing a game.
