Chapter 41 Reaching a Consensus

If you are not a family member, you don’t know that oil, rice, firewood, and salt are expensive!

When he was at the Yun Provincial Defense Management Office, Wang Baoguo had a headache when faced with the various military factories below complaining about applying for funds.

When we arrived at the Fifth Machinery Department, all the large military factories and military research units directly under the Ministry were crying louder than the others, hoping to get some funds from him.

Even these large military factories and military research and development units are like this. You can imagine how miserable the small and medium-sized military factories and military research and development units across the country are.

"We can solve the problem of expansion money without the superiors allocating any funds." Liu Tao said with confidence.

Wang Baoguo laughed and said: "I forgot, now your Panshan Machinery Factory is extremely rich. There is probably no factory in the country that can compare with you."

Wang Baoguo knew the Panshan Machinery Factory very well.

The instruction given to Panshan Machinery Factory is to release production capacity and fully produce 'Type 78' pistols, 'Type 78' automatic rifles, 'Type 78' heavy sniper rifles and 'Type 78' squad machine guns. How much is produced will be purchased by the army. .

Naturally, he had heard about the plans of Panshan Machinery Factory, and had even seen the plans.

Panshan Machinery Factory can really afford 40 million yuan.

Panshan Machinery Factory can also afford the machinery and equipment that needs to be purchased later, and there is no need to allocate funds from above.

"Your Panshan Machinery Factory has funds, how it develops is your business, I don't care." Wang Baoguo shook his head and said, "As long as the task is completed, it doesn't matter anything else. As long as the conditions are met, it is not impossible to upgrade it to a large military factory."

Liu Tao looked happy.

With Wang Baoguo's words, half of the goal has been achieved.

"As for the export of weapons and equipment from your factory, this has never happened before. When you mention it, my head gets a little big." Wang Baoguo frowned.

"We are not arms dealers." This sentence has made foreign military assistance free in the past thirty years.

Foreign aid projects are assigned tasks by the state, and relevant units are responsible for their implementation.

This kind of foreign military assistance ranges from pistols, rifles, and grenades to various aircraft, surface-to-air missiles, etc.

"Leader, didn't the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China make decisions on domestic reform and opening up to the outside world last year? In January this year, didn't the superiors approve that foreign military aid be changed from all free aid to three categories: fee, barter and free aid? This means that the superiors want to promote the export of weapons and equipment to the international market," Liu Tao said.

He has made considerable preparations in this regard.

"But currently our weapons and equipment are backward and cannot be sold at all." Wang Baoguo sighed.

Ever since I changed my strategy, no one was willing to buy if I asked for money.

China is short of foreign exchange, and the targets of previous foreign military aid also lacked foreign exchange. They are all poor brothers, and they are equally poor.

If you have money, you can either buy advanced weapons and equipment from Europe and the United States, or buy weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union. Why buy China's backward weapons and equipment.

"Leader, backwardness in weapons and equipment is relative. For many countries, weapons and equipment are too advanced for them to operate. Suitable weapons and equipment are the most important thing." Liu Tao said, "Besides, the firearms currently produced by our factory, It is also at the leading level in the world.”

Even after more than 40 years, weapons from World War II can still be used on the battlefield to demonstrate good power.

Advanced weapons and equipment and backwardness are always relative terms.

Liu Tao continued to elaborate on his plans and ideas.

Wang Baoguo could see that Liu Tao was obviously fully prepared and had great confidence in his plan, and based on rational analysis, it was very likely to succeed.

But this incident made Wang Baoguo hesitate, and he couldn't help but pick up a cigarette and smoke it.

He took big breaths and wandered around the office, thinking.

This is something unprecedented, and even an old revolutionary like him has to be cautious.

Once done, it is likely to cause a chain reaction.

But if it succeeds, it will bring new changes to China's military industry and solve the difficulties of many military factories.

Nowadays, China's military industry is in dire straits, and various problems exist.

In the final analysis, there is just no money!

Smoked one after another.

Finally, when the fourth cigarette started to become hot to the touch, Wang Baoguo took a deep breath, threw the cigarette butt heavily to the ground, crushed it with his foot, and then said: "With the reform and opening up, we are also seeking changes, and we will no longer provide free military assistance."

"Go ahead and do it, and your Panshan Machinery Factory will serve as a pilot!"

"In the ministry meeting, I will put this on the agenda for discussion."

Wang Baoguo has always paid attention to Liu Tao, a young man who has energy and ideas, dares to do things, and has a flexible mind.

Panshan Machinery Factory originally had to allocate funds every year to maintain operations. Even so, there would still be wage arrears.

But Liu Tao came out of nowhere and reversed the predicament in just a few months, giving Panshan Machinery Factory new vitality.

This is a young man who is good at creating miracles.

Now Liu Tao wants to export weapons and equipment. Although there is no precedent for this, as Lu Xun said, there is no way in the world. There will be a way when more people take it.

The road is made by people!

Liu Tao is aggressive and motivated. If he, as a leader, doesn't support him, why should we dampen his enthusiasm? ?

When this is done, the benefits are self-evident. Just the fact that you can earn valuable foreign exchange is enough for people to take it seriously.

Even if it fails, it is nothing more than not earning foreign exchange and spending any money.

"Leader, please believe me, I will not let you down, wait for my good news!" Liu Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

With Wang Baoguo's words, there is a guarantee.

When he gets the contract, he can complete the order!

Even if there are other voices, for Wang Baoguo's sake, at least he can complete the existing orders.

"Then I want to see what kind of trouble you, the Monkey King, can make." Wang Baoguo said with a smile.

After coming to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, Wang Baoguo's vision has jumped from the Yunnan Provincial Military Industry System to the National Military Industry System, focusing on the whole country.

Although the front line is still tense now and the troops have not all withdrawn to the station, in fact, Wang Baoguo understands that the country will focus on developing the economy next. In this case, there is no money to invest in military research.

Even now, experts are being organized to demonstrate that the third-line factory will be converted from military to civilian use. In the next few years, many military projects will definitely be discontinued.

"Since it is Monkey King, it is natural to make a big fuss in the sky." Liu Tao said with a smile.

In this wild era, as long as he is brave enough, Liu Tao does not believe that he will not succeed.

Others can fight and fight to make a name for themselves in this era, so he can do it too.

Moreover, the current situation is favorable to Liu Tao, which can be said to be the right time for him!
