The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 985 Video Conference
After the meeting, Liu Tao stayed in the capital for two days and then returned to Kunming.

Kunming City, Panshan Group Headquarters.

Liu Tao convened an emergency meeting, which was an enlarged meeting of the Party Committee.

Even if you are not at the Panshan Group headquarters, you must attend the meeting via video in the conference room of a local Panshan Group-affiliated company.

The meeting had just begun, and small screens were displayed on the large screen.

Liu Tao asked: "Have all of you attended the meeting? Are there still people who haven't attended?"

The secretary general replied: "All comrades who have been notified should attend the meeting."

"Can you see from here in the conference room? Can you hear what's being said in the conference room?" Liu Tao asked.

The technician quickly said: "It has been confirmed, no problem!"

This is the first time Panshan Group held a video conference!
Although video conferencing software had been developed, it had never been used before.

This is the first time I use it.

"In that case, let's start the meeting!" Liu Tao said.

Then, Liu Tao conveyed the spirit of the meeting held in the capital.

He believed that everyone watched the 7 o'clock news on time that day and understood the key points and spirit of the meeting, but he still had to convey it again.

Liu Tao emphasized that everyone must have sufficient ideological awareness, dare to take responsibility, and promote the spirit of selfless dedication. He also proposed that whether you understand it or not, you must execute it, and you must gradually comprehend and understand it during the execution, and you must never go against the decisions from above.

At the meeting, Liu Tao also explained that Panshan Group must hand over 2500 billion yuan in profits in advance, and the central government will issue special government bonds for post-disaster reconstruction. The banks affiliated with Panshan Group will purchase a total of 3500 billion yuan of bonds.

In other words, Panshan Group has to invest 6000 billion RMB!
Liu Tao emphasized that this was a political task and there was no room for bargaining.

When voting, all members of the Party Committee voted in favor.

As for other participants, they are only eligible to attend the meeting but not to vote.

Later, Liu Tao mentioned the call for employees of Panshan Group's affiliated companies to donate money to help the people in the disaster-stricken areas. He mentioned that this embodies the great spirit of "help from all sides when one side is in trouble", and called on party members to take the lead.

After the meeting, each company held a meeting immediately.

The next afternoon, Liu Tao made a radio speech to the entire Panshan Group system.

"When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid!" Liu Tao called on all employees to donate money and materials to the best of their ability to help the people in the disaster-stricken areas overcome the difficulties.

Then, Liu Tao led the party group members to make donations first, with each person donating one year's income.

Throughout the Panshan Group system, every employee actively donated money and materials.

Eventually, a total of 100 billion RMB was raised and donated to the disaster-stricken areas for special disaster relief.

At the same time, the Southern Power Grid, the entire Southern Power Grid took quick action to repair power lines, high-voltage lines, high-voltage towers, and electric towers!
Emergency repairs in this area have never stopped.

Ensure the power supply is as secure as possible.

After all, many resettlement sites still use diesel generators for temporary power generation.

In order to carry out repairs as quickly as possible, the State Grid Corporation of China deployed a helicopter.

After all, some roads have been damaged and communication has not been possible until now. In addition, landslides have occurred in the mountains. If we wait, we don’t know how long it will take to repair the roads. In this case, helicopters are needed for rapid repairs. The highway group is also repairing the broken roads. After all, with continuous heavy rains, there are always mudslides and landslides in some places, and bridges have collapsed in some places.

During the National Day holiday, the Southern Power Grid, to which Panshan Group belongs, completed all emergency repairs, fully restoring power supply to the disaster-stricken areas. Electricity can also be continuously transmitted to East China and Guangdong Province, and normal power supply has been restored throughout the south.

One highway after another was repaired, and one railway after another was repaired.

Ships loaded with supplies sailed along the Yangtze River to supply the disaster-stricken areas.

In mid-September, the country issued special treasury bonds for post-disaster reconstruction with an interest rate of only 9%, but they were snapped up and people rushed to buy the bonds. Within a few days, trillions of special treasury bonds were sold out.

Across China, people in the disaster-stricken areas have plunged into vigorous post-disaster reconstruction work.

Houses that could be repaired were repaired immediately, and those that collapsed were rebuilt, and a new village was built in one place.

Liu Tao did not go to Hong Kong again, but instead inspected each production base.

By the time of National Day, all production bases had resumed normal production.

Although this time, Panshan Group paid out a large amount of real money, a full 6000 billion yuan, and there was pressure, it was not enough to be considered a serious blow.

As the flood season ends, Liu Tao turns his attention to Southeast Asia.

The intensity of the war there increased sharply.

So far, the power between the two sides has been unbalanced.

Liu Tao had to praise Singapore, as the small country's way of survival was so mastered that it turned around at the first opportunity.

And his attitude is very good, without any handle.

Liu Tao has no ill will towards Singapore. After all, it is a Chinese country. It is not easy for such a small country to develop to its current level.

There is great wisdom in this.

There are so many small countries in the world that have been caught up in turmoil and war, have not developed for many years, and are even on the verge of retreat, but Singapore can be called a developed country.

If a small country wants to survive and develop in this world, it must be good at the ways of a small country and understand its own strengths and positioning.

Anyone who does not understand will inevitably become a pawn in the game between major powers.

Some people say that this world in this era has become a civilized world, a civilized era.

This person is absolutely stupid and has been brainwashed thoroughly.

Look at the Vietnam War, the Americans dropped a total of 720 million tons of bombs, and then the Americans used planes to spray 7600 million liters of Agent Orange poison, which affected more than 500 million civilians, who are still suffering from the poison today.

In addition, the United States dropped more than 200 million tons of explosives in Laos, one-third of which failed to explode, resulting in the death or maiming of Lao people while farming.

Panshan Group helped the Lao people. The demining team drove demining vehicles and cleared mines inch by inch of land. It consumed a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and some people also made sacrifices.

That’s more than 8000 million bombs!

Similarly, during the Vietnam War, the United States dropped more than 270 million tons of explosives into Cambodia, and tens of thousands of Cambodian civilians were killed or injured by landmines and other unexploded ordnance after the war.

The people of Laos and Cambodia demanded compensation from the Americans, but the Americans simply ignored them.
