The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 944 The Last Face

The last day of 1996 passed and time entered 1997.

But just on the first day of 1997, a piece of news quickly spread across the country that the Giant Building had not been completed on schedule, and the media reported on the Giant's financial crisis in a carpet-style manner.

Two years ago, Giant Technology entered the health products market.

Shi Yuzhu personally took charge and set up the three major battle headquarters, which consisted of eight fronts and organized more than 30 branches into armies and divisions. More than 30 people directly participated in the battle, attacking from all sides, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and received orders worth 15 billion yuan in just half a month.

That was the highlight of Shi Yuzhu’s first half of life.

Shi Yuzhu became a nationally renowned business tycoon, and now it seems that he is about to turn from a billionaire into a billionaire loser.

There was a lot of discussion outside, but Liu Tao was too lazy to pay attention to it as he was busy with the year-end party group meeting.

No matter what the Giant Group is like, it’s just that.

And to be honest, Liu Tao is not interested in those health products, or he despises those who sell health products.

Those who sell health products are all very evil-minded.

For example, Sanzhu, which claims to cure all diseases, deceived farmers from whole villages into buying oral liquid under the guise of sending medical treatment to the countryside. But you have to know that in the vast rural areas, it is not easy for farmers to make money. Buying Sanzhu oral liquid is equivalent to selling a big fat pig at home. It is no exaggeration to say that Sanzhu is killing people for money.

The same is true for Sanzhu and Giant Group’s health products. They all make money in an unscrupulous way.

If it weren't for the bad influence, Liu Tao would have wanted to have him arrested.

Liu Tao is busy preparing for Panshan Group's year-end party committee meeting. This year's meeting is scheduled to be held from January 1 to January 20 and will last for a week.

Normally, Liu Tao only holds two party group meetings each year, one is the mid-year party group meeting in July, and the other is the year-end party group meeting in January.

This is also the practice of the Panshan system. Normally, only two party group meetings are held each year. Unless something special happens and a party group meeting is needed, it will be temporarily increased.

Liu Tao sighed softly. This year, the party group membership is relatively stable, and there has not been a large-scale adjustment like last year.

However, the chief accountant 'Chen Lin' has reached the age limit and needs to be replaced.

Not everyone can be the chief accountant.

Because it needs to be responsible for the overall financial planning and strategic support of the entire Panshan Group, organize the establishment and improvement of the financial management system, management system and process system of the Panshan Group, participate in the preparation and signing of major economic contracts, be fully responsible for the financial management of the entire Panshan Group, be responsible for the annual settlement of the entire group, participate in the group's performance appraisal of various companies and departments, be responsible for the financial and tax planning and tax management of the entire Panshan Group and implement the preparation of various financial statements.

Liu Tao thought about the internal candidates and found that the existing deputy chief accountants were not qualified for the position of chief accountant.

Therefore, Liu Tao had to submit a report and request support from his superiors for a chief accountant.

Of course, there is a reason for doing this, which is to avoid the situation where the entire Panshan Group Party Committee is made up of internal members, which would be seen as a one-man show. If there are a few cadres transferred from outside, it would be difficult for others to say anything.

Normally, this category currently mainly includes three positions: chief accountant, chief engineer, and minister of the finance department.

The current chief engineer of Panshan Group was transferred from the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

The annual party group meeting of Panshan Group was held on time, and Liu Tao personally presided over the meeting. Compared with last year, the meeting was less turbulent. The party group members reached a certain age and reappointed a new chief accountant, Tang Lifen, who came from the State Planning Commission.

The personnel adjustments involved in the entire Party Committee meeting were also more than half less than last year.

This year, the number of retired employees in Panshan Group still exceeds 10. This has become a normal trend in recent years, with more than employees retiring every year.

By this year, all female workers born in 1945 and before have bid farewell to their jobs; the vast majority of female cadres born in 1942 and before have bid farewell to their jobs and officially retired; and the vast majority of male workers and cadres born in 1937 and before have officially retired.

At this juncture, whether the technology is advanced or not makes a huge difference.

If it is an administrative position, 99.99% of people will officially retire when they reach the age, and there will be no chance of being re-employed; if it is a technical position, basically as long as you have strong technical skills, you will often be re-employed.

From the perspective of re-employment, those in technical fields are much more likely to be re-employed than those in administrative fields.

Since ancient times, the waves behind have always pushed the waves ahead.

Some skills become more popular as they get older, but the threshold for administrative work is much lower.

Just as the meeting was over, some bad news came.

Wang Tiezhu is dying!
Liu Tao was not in the mood to organize a celebratory banquet, so he hurriedly took everyone to the sanatorium.

As the founder and first director of Panshan Machinery Factory, Wang Tiezhu holds a very unique position in Panshan Group.

It was Liu Tao who mentioned Wang Tiezhu many times every year and visited Wang Tiezhu in the sanatorium at least twice every year.

Not long after Liu Tao arrived at the sanatorium, he saw Wang Tiezhu for the last time, and Wang Tiezhu closed his eyes.

Liu Tao looked serious and saluted the old man who had selflessly devoted his whole life to the Party and the country. The others also saluted Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu's children then told Liu Tao about Wang Tiezhu's will.

Wang Tiezhu's will was very simple, asking that his death be handled simply without any fuss. He handed over a Type 78 and a Type 78 pistol from his collection to Panshan Group. The Type and Type pistols were well maintained. It was obvious that the old man was ready to go to the battlefield at any time and he often cleaned his guns on a daily basis.

All the 27.8 yuan in Wang Tiezhu's account was given as party dues. The manuscripts of Wang Tiezhu's works over the years were donated to Panshan Group.

Liu Tao felt very unhappy. Until the end of his life, this old man never thought of leaving his property to his children, but instead gave it all to the Party and the country.

Liu Tao solemnly collected these and had them placed in the Panshan Group Museum. These should be left to future generations to remind them not to forget their original aspirations and keep their mission in mind.

Liu Tao respected Wang Tiezhu's will and did not hold a large memorial service, but colleagues still came to pay their respects, including those from Wang Tiezhu's old unit, his former workplace, Panshan Group, and the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office.
It seems that the days before the Spring Festival are not good.

Wang Tiezhu left just a few days ago, and Wang Baoguo did not survive the Spring Festival.

Although they have good retirement conditions, they suffered too much when they were young. Even with good medical conditions, the hidden injuries and deficits they suffered when they were young are difficult to treat and make up for.

Liu Tao sent off two old leaders in succession, feeling very unhappy. They both made the same choice. They paid all the money to party dues, did not distribute it to their children, and did not consider the future of their children and grandchildren.
