Chapter 40 Shocked Wang Baoguo

Coming to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building to meet Wang Baoguo is naturally different from the previous experience in the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office.

Liu Tao can't meet him whenever he wants.

After all, Wang Baoguo's current status is different from before. People who want to see him every day have to line up in a long queue, and they may not be able to meet him.

The Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, all weapons and equipment manufacturing are under its jurisdiction, and all large arsenals across the country are directly under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Even the defense management offices of various provinces are actually departments under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

After Liu Tao completed the registration and his identity was verified, he went to the waiting room to wait obediently.

Liu Tao had no idea whether he could meet Wang Baoguo today.

The waiting room was crowded, and it was estimated that there were hundreds of people waiting in line.

"Little brother, you look young, which unit are you from?" Liu Tao didn't even have a place to sit, and asked a middle-aged man in a corner.

"Panshan Machinery Factory!" Liu Tao smiled.

"Panshan Machinery Factory!?" The middle-aged man exclaimed.

Hundreds of people in the waiting room looked at Liu Tao in unison, which made Liu Tao feel uneasy.

"Little brother, you are from Panshan Machinery Factory. I have heard of you for a long time. I am from Factory 724, and I am the factory director Wang Hua!" The middle-aged man said, "I wonder if you know Comrade Liu Tao from your factory. Do you have his contact information?"

Liu Tao's heart moved.

Factory 724, also known as Shenyang Factory 724, or State-owned Factory 724, is known as Northeast Machinery Manufacturing Factory. This factory is a large military factory, which can be traced back to 1937. The military products mainly produce artillery shells and aviation parts, with more than 10,000 employees.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "Comrade Wang Hua, I am the director of Panshan Machinery Factory, Liu Tao!"

"Liu Tao? Isn't he the technical director of Panshan Machinery Factory? When did he become the factory director?" Wang Hua was a little dumbfounded.

The others looked at Liu Tao curiously.

In the past few months, Liu Tao's name has been well-known in the military industry, especially in the field of firearms. Everyone knows it.

Everyone knows that Liu Tao is very young, but seeing Liu Tao in person still makes people shocked by his youth.

There are hundreds of people, but Liu Tao is the youngest. It is estimated that none of the others are under 50 years old.

Liu Tao is about the same age as their children.

"Comrade Liu Tao, I am Chen Sheng, the director of the 626th Factory. I invite you to our 626th Factory. As long as you come to our 626th Factory, you will be the chief engineer of the factory!" A middle-aged man came over excitedly.

The 626th Factory is also a large military factory. It was once one of the largest pistol and submachine gun manufacturers in the world. Its product types once accounted for half of the types of infantry firearms of our army. This factory has a long history. Its predecessor was the Northeast Three Provinces Arsenal founded by Zhang Zuolin in Shenyang, Liaoning.

For example, the 54-type pistol, the 626th Factory produced more than two million. For example, the 54-type submachine gun, the 626th Factory produced more than 270,000 in four years.

Now the annual output of submachine guns and pistols of the 626th Factory can reach 500,000, and the annual output of pistols can reach 300,000.

Liu Tao smiled, "Sorry, Comrade Chen Sheng, I am now the director of Panshan Machinery Factory in Yunnan Province!"

Liu Tao has no plans to leave Panshan Machinery Factory for the time being. After all, Panshan Machinery Factory is equivalent to his territory. In most cases, he can make his own decisions and do whatever he wants.

Why would he go to other factories?

Although other factories are large military factories, they also have many rules and are restricted by various rules and regulations. They are not as comfortable as he is in Panshan Machinery Factory.

Besides, Panshan Machinery Factory is growing rapidly. Maybe in a few years, it will not be worse than these large military factories, or even surpass them.

Other military factory leaders involved in gun manufacturing are determined to dig Liu Tao. After all, once Liu Tao comes to their unit, it is equivalent to having a great god sitting in charge.

"Comrade Liu Tao, it's your turn!" Just when Liu Tao was annoyed, the staff shouted.

Liu Tao hurriedly left the waiting room and came to an office under the guidance of the staff.

The office is not luxurious, but very simple.

Wang Baoguo was drinking water with an enamel teacup that he had used for many years.

"Comrade Liu Tao, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon!" Wang Baoguo saw Liu Tao coming in, put down the enamel teacup and smiled.

He had arrived at the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building for some time, and had been sorting out his work during this period.

Now seeing an old friend again, his mood suddenly improved.

When he heard the secretary's report, as soon as he heard the name Liu Tao, he met Liu Tao in advance as soon as he understood.

"Director. Oh no, I should call you Minister now." Liu Tao quickly changed his words and said, "I came to see you this time because I have work to report to you."

"Oh? What is it? Tell me!" Wang Baoguo was a little curious.

Liu Tao began to talk about his purpose. This was in the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, in the office, and he was talking about official business, not personal business.

"This visit to you is mainly for two things. One is that our Panshan Machinery Factory invested 40 million to expand the factory area and expand production capacity, and is applying to be upgraded to a large military factory. One is that I plan to export our factory's products to earn foreign exchange." Liu Tao reported simply and clearly.

The upgrading of large military factories was something that even the Provincial Defense Management Office could not decide, but required the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

It can be said that what he was going to do next could not bypass the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Wang Baoguo showed a look of shock. He was shocked by Liu Tao's courage.

Panshan Machinery Factory was just a small and medium-sized military factory. It was built during the construction of the Third Front. Although Liu Tao's repair of machinery increased the production capacity of Panshan Machinery Factory, Panshan Machinery Factory was still a small and medium-sized military factory.

Now Liu Tao is actually going to invest 40 million to expand the factory area, intending to develop Panshan Machinery Factory into a large military factory.

There is also the export of weapons and equipment. This is not a small matter, but a big matter. In the past, China did not ship weapons and equipment overseas, but that was all in the nature of support, and it was not carried out by any military factory, but as a whole.

What Liu Tao wanted to do was to export weapons and equipment with Panshan Machinery Factory as the main body, and with trade as the starting point.

This was simply a shocking thing. He wanted to split Liu Tao's head to see what Liu Tao was thinking. How dare he think of such a thing! ?

Both things are not what ordinary people dare to think of, let alone do.

"To upgrade to a large military factory, this is not a matter that I decide on my own, but depends on your factory. The country is very poor now, and there is no money. We can't allocate a penny to you. You have to raise it yourself." Wang Baoguo paused and said, "If the inspection confirms that you have the ability to become a large military factory, then it will naturally be upgraded."

The current large military factories are all planned and built by the state. They were built according to the planning indicators from the beginning, so they were large military factories from the beginning. No military factory has been upgraded.

As for the payment, let alone 40 million yuan, there is not even 10,000 yuan.
