Export trade!
This is a great choice for China!
Relying on preliminary industrialization, making low-end manufacturing such as shirts and socks, relying on cheap labor, to earn foreign exchange, and then use the foreign exchange earned to purchase advanced equipment and support talents to study abroad.
But in Liu Tao's view, arms trade is also an export trade, and it can also earn foreign exchange.
Moreover, arms trade is a highly profitable industry, and the profits are extremely amazing.
Liu Tao has a deep understanding of this.
The reason why Panshan Machinery Factory can develop so fast is not because it relies on arms trade to earn a lot of profits and has enough profits for its own development!
"Dong Dong~~"
Just when the two were discussing arms export trade and how to be a qualified international arms dealer, there was a knock on the door.
"Director Liu, Director Liu, the leader is fine!" said the secretary.
Liu Zhenbang and Liu Tao got up and walked towards Wang Baoguo's office.
As soon as I walked into the office, I saw Wang Baoguo with a tired face. Obviously, he was busy enough today.
"How was the negotiation today? Did it go smoothly?" Wang Baoguo picked up the enamel teacup and took a sip of water.
"It went smoothly. They are very excited and are now contacting their superiors. I am confident that I can get a large order." Liu Tao said confidently: "The price I offered is $100,000 per anti-aircraft machine gun, $250,000 per twin anti-aircraft machine gun, $4.4 million to $4.6 million per Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and $1.5 million per Type 80 tank."
Liu Tao reported to Wang Baoguo, ".Tomorrow I plan to contact Saudi Arabia and promote it to them!"
"Didn't I say before that there are no additional conditions? You are now planning to bundle weapons such as the Type 54 pistol and the Type 56 rifle at the same time. Isn't that also an additional condition?" Wang Baoguo frowned slightly, "This involves the reputation of the country."
"Leader, we are discussing arms business, and there is no additional political interest or asking them to transfer oil fields, so it is naturally not an additional condition." Liu Tao spread his hands.
Wang Baoguo said: "Iraq doesn't need Type 54 pistols, Type 56 rifles, Type 56 machine guns, will they agree?"
"I don't think it's a big problem. They don't need them, but their brothers do!" Liu Tao smiled, "The Islamic world has no industrial capacity, and many countries need it."
Not to mention now, even forty years later, it's the same!
Gas tanks can even be used as powerful weapons!
"Leader, the 2,000 Type 59 tanks that were negotiated a few days ago are not enough. Most of them have to be transferred from the active equipment of the troops. Now the leaders of the troops have great opinions. This will reduce the number of Type 59 tanks in the troops by 20%!" Liu Zhenbang said: "I also went to see the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks today. I still think it's inappropriate to export such advanced weapons. It's better to wait until our troops are equipped, replace the Type 59 tanks, and then export them later."
"Or let the tank manufacturing plants such as the First Machine Factory hurry up to produce tanks!"
Although Liu Tao is his son, Liu Zhenbang still expressed his opinions to the leaders.
This is about the matter, not the person!
Wang Baoguo looked at Liu Tao, "What do you think?"
"I have no objection to the First Machine Factory and other tank manufacturers producing Type 69 tanks for export. After all, there are no extra Type 69 tanks now, and the troops do not have a single Type 69 tank." Liu Tao said, "But I do not recommend the production of Type 59 tanks. I think the Type 59 tanks currently in service in the troops should be eliminated and replaced with Type 80 main battle tanks!"
"Although the number of tanks in the troops has decreased in the short term, from a long-term perspective, it is imperative to eliminate Type 59 tanks and equip Type 80 main battle tanks." Liu Tao also insisted on his point of view, "Our productivity is limited, and we should not waste productivity, but concentrate productivity, build Type 80 tank production lines, train workers, and carry out small-scale production, so that we can carry out large-scale production later!"
Wang Baoguo rubbed his temples, and he also felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.
"In this way, I will report this matter to the leader, and then hold a meeting to discuss it." Wang Baoguo thought about it and said.
Afterwards, Liu Tao proposed to settle the accounts.
"Leader, you know that our Panshan Machinery Factory is so big, and the province keeps giving us other third-tier factories. We are so poor that we have to beg for food." Liu Tao said pitifully.
Wang Baoguo said unhappily, "I believe that other factories are so poor that they have to beg for food, but your factory is the most comfortable in the country. We distribute housing every month, with high wages and good benefits. We live like the landlords in the past."
Wang Baoguo was shocked after visiting Panshan Machinery Factory.
Panshan Machinery Factory is the only modern factory in the country. Even the factories with huge state investment before are not comparable to Panshan Machinery Factory.
Back to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, Wang Baoguo specially wrote a report, which caused a sensation and attention in the entire Fifth Ministry of Machine Building. The Fifth Ministry of Machine Building also held a discussion meeting.
However, Wang Baoguo also knew that the reason behind the rapid development of Panshan Machinery Factory was the continuous capital investment.
The profits created by foreign trade orders accounted for the majority.
And all of this was brought by Liu Tao.
"Next, we need to build a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and tank production line. The investment is huge, at least more than 2 billion RMB." Liu Tao shrugged, helpless: "As a factory director, I only sleep four or five hours a day. The pressure is too great, and the higher-ups are unwilling to allocate money to us."
"There is no money, but there are people!" Wang Baoguo glared at Liu Tao.
Even if the Fifth Machine Department's annual funding was given to Liu Tao, it would not be enough!
However, Wang Baoguo slowed down his tone, "The leaders of the department know your situation, and it is not easy. Although the exchange rate has been lowered, 1 US dollar can only be exchanged for 1.49 RMB, but the settlement is still based on 1 US dollar to 1.75 RMB, which is considered to support you."
Liu Tao curled his lips. The exchange rate announced by the bank was like this, but in fact, on the black market, 1 US dollar can be exchanged for at least 3~4 RMB.
What everyone lacks now is US dollars, not RMB.
In fact, it is Panshan Machinery Factory that suffers.
He also knows that in the next ten years, the RMB will depreciate rapidly, from the current 1:1.49 to 1:8.6.
If Panshan Machinery Factory didn't need money for construction, he would have put the money in the account, and it would have increased by 5.8 times in ten years.
And this exchange rate is still official, and it can be exchanged more privately.
However, he is also confident that he can make more money by investing in the factory with this money, and it is not so bad.
"Thank you for the support of the leaders. Our Panshan Machinery Factory will not disappoint the expectations of the leaders. We will continue to work hard and achieve more success!" Although Liu Tao muttered in his heart, it was different when he said it.
In the final analysis, Panshan Machinery Factory is now directly under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery. If the Fifth Ministry of Machinery wants to intervene in Panshan Machinery Factory, he, the factory director, must obey the order. The Fifth Ministry of Machinery only needs a transfer order, and he will no longer be the director of Panshan Machinery Factory.
