The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 845 The baby grows up to be a strong man

The leader sighed inwardly.

What they did was really dishonest.

In recent years, state-owned factories have been transformed into state-owned enterprises, and state-owned enterprises have undergone a series of reforms. Among the reformed enterprises, some have successfully broken through the deadlock, achieved rapid development, and grown rapidly; some have not kept up with the times and have been eliminated by the times; but there are also some that have made many outrageous moves and embarked on evil and heterodox paths.

Among the state-owned enterprises, the best developed one is Panshan Group.

From beginning to end, not only did it not take a penny from the state, but it also paid a large amount of profits and taxes to the state every year, driving the development of the local economy.

This is an indisputable fact.

If all state-owned enterprises were in the same class, then Panshan Group would undoubtedly be the best student, both in character and in academic performance.

What they are doing now is actually to criticize and educate this best student for all the students to see.

This is unacceptable no matter how you look at it.

"Panshan Group is no longer a baby. It has grown up and become a strong man. It needs to support the family. This family is short of money. Money is needed in all aspects." The leader said patiently.

Liu Tao said: "There are so many children in this family. Many of them have grown up and made money. If the family needs money, everyone should contribute, instead of just taking advantage of one strong man."

"It's like an old father who has many children and needs pension money. Everyone should give money instead of just relying on the richest one for pension money. This is unfair and can easily cause family conflicts among the richest children." Liu Tao gave an inappropriate analogy.

Rough words are not rough.

This is the truth.

"The profits and taxes paid by our Panshan Group are equal to the sum of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Anhui and other provinces, and are much more. We should all pay the money together, fairly and impartially," said Liu Tao.

Initially, taxation was based on a 'big lump sum' system, which later became an 'incremental lump sum' system.

Nowadays, all the provinces are actually very prosperous and people are living a prosperous life.

Liu Tao travels around the country all year round and is very familiar with this aspect.

The proportion of money paid by each province is actually much lower than originally set.

Because the actual development speed of the local area is faster, the increase in the amount submitted is suppressing the amount submitted online.

The leader said, "This matter is not so easy to handle. There are so many children, and no one will even see them when we ask them to talk."

"Then you go meet them one by one. They can't just shut the door and not see you, right? They can't just put on airs, right? Go meet them one by one and talk to them one by one." Liu Tao said, "Go one by one and settle the accounts face to face."

The two discussed this aspect in detail, including changing the local fiscal contracting system to a tax-sharing system, and then land finance.

Liu Tao is very concerned about land finance. It is a big piece of meat that needs to be tightly controlled.

Otherwise, land finance will become a runaway horse.

Then there are issues such as local government loans and debts, which also need to be controlled.

Liu Tao still had a vague impression that a county dared to borrow tens of billions of dollars in a few years to build all kinds of exaggerated buildings.

The size of the heart is simply unimaginable.

The leader nodded continuously, and then went into more detail.

……

That night, the leader did not return but stayed. Liu Tao cooked some home-cooked dishes at home and entertained the leader and others.

Liu Tao opened two bottles of Moutai produced in 71. The production of Moutai that year was 375 tons, and the market retail price was 4.07 yuan per bottle. After so many years, the stock of Moutai produced in 71 is very small.

Even Liu Tao didn't have much.

He bought it for collection, but he didn't drink it much on normal days. He only drank a little during festivals.

The next day, Liu Tao brought his leaders to inspect Kunming City.

Kun City is currently the best developed city in Yunnan Province, followed by QJ City.

Kunming City is now well-known throughout the country and is known as the pearl on the plateau.

A special leader from Yunnan Province accompanied the inspection and introduced the development history and situation of Kunming City to the leader.

This includes experience in urban planning and construction.

The leaders are very happy to see that Kun City is developing so well now.

The leaders became more and more convinced of what Liu Tao said, that each province was living a prosperous life and was extremely wealthy.

He had served in local positions and had gained experience there, so he had his own judgment.

For example, Shanghai pays 105 billion RMB every year, which is a fixed amount. It was a big pressure for Shanghai at the beginning, but as Shanghai developed, the money was no longer a big pressure.

Looking at the situation in Kunming now, the development of Kunming is even better than that of Shanghai.

Then the leader learned about the situation in Yunnan Province from Liu Tao in private, and was even more shocked.

When the leaders learned more about the situation, they were speechless. It turned out that the real GDP data and fiscal revenue of various places were completely different from what they knew.

We had a meeting before, and everyone was complaining. It turned out that everyone else was living a prosperous life, but those above were having a hard time.

Panshan Group has a clear grasp of the real GDP statistics and fiscal revenue of each province, including down to the county level.

Because office software is used, there is data in the background.

The leader privately told Liu Tao that everyone wanted to suffer for the central government while they themselves lived a fulfilling life, which was not acceptable.

Liu Tao deeply agrees with this. He strongly supports the central government having more financial resources because China's development is currently showing regional imbalances.

Many provinces have developed very well, but the development speed of Western Region Province, QH Province, Gansu Province and other provinces is obviously not keeping up.

If there is more money from above, macro-control can be carried out to develop the Northeast and the central and western regions.

Development does not mean the development of a certain place or province, but comprehensive development.

Only when all provinces and cities develop can there be real development.

It was precisely because of this intention that he mentioned many suggestions when communicating with his leaders.

The suggestions here cover all aspects, but they will be of great benefit to national development.

In some aspects, leaders cannot take them into consideration due to the limitations of the times, but Liu Tao can have a long-term vision.

This is why it is important to look at the notes you wrote at the beginning. Maintaining some memory can help you see further.
