Chapter 160 The only Condition

The next day.

Liu Tao received a call.

Then he called Liu Zhenbang.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two arrived at No. 13, Sanlitun East Sixth Street.

10,000 Type 54 pistols, 300,000 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, 3,000 Type 56 light machine guns, 1,000 Type 56 heavy machine guns, 200,000 Type 63 automatic rifles, 200 anti-aircraft machine guns, 20 anti-aircraft guns and other mortars, Type 69 40mm rocket launchers, tanks, bullets, shells, etc., with a total contract of 600 million US dollars.

"Mr. Mohammed, our rule is half deposit and the other half is paid upon delivery." Liu Tao emphasized the payment method.

"There is no problem with this. We are in Swiss Bank and can pay at any time." Mohammed said, "Our requirement is to deliver the goods at the China-Pakistan border within a week."

Liu Tao showed some surprise.

In the past, transactions with Iraq and other countries were all carried out by sea. I didn't expect Persia to choose land transportation this time.

But think about it, it takes less time and is safer to go by land, and there is no need to worry about the ship being sunk by Iraq.

Both sides have very good relations with Pakistan.

Liu Tao and Liu Zhenbang looked at each other, and then Liu Tao agreed to Muhammad's conditions.

Not to mention a week, as long as the deposit is paid, the goods can be ready the next day.

There is no need to transfer goods from the mainland, and the Western Region Province can easily gather this batch of goods.

This batch of goods seems to be very large, but it is just that.

Liu Zhenbang sighed: "The Persians are really rich. The first order is 600 million US dollars."

"Their foreign exchange reserves are as much as 37.3 billion US dollars. They are a big oil-producing country, and they are rich." Liu Tao was not surprised at all: "If the money is not used to buy weapons, is it as compensation when the war is lost?"

"Just wait and see, this is just the first order, and there will definitely be more in the future. Maybe it won't be long before Muhammad will take the initiative to contact you and order more weapons!" Liu Tao said.

Liu Zhenbang said: "Okay, leave it to me next, you can go back without worry."

In order to facilitate the development of foreign trade work, their foreign trade working group also specially transferred several talents from the foreign affairs department to assist.

Next, they only need to transfer two more people who know Persian, and they can easily handle it.

Liu Tao said: "Remember to contact the bank in time and keep an eye on the deposit. Also prepare the goods. Once the deposit is paid, let them contact the transaction. Only when the final payment is paid can the goods be delivered."

Liu Tao is not afraid of other things, but he is afraid that the Chinese are too honest and think that everyone is honest.

"We are already very experienced. Our foreign trade working group is different from before." Liu Zhenbang said, "There is a precedent, just follow the precedent."

That night, Liu Tao took a plane back to Yunnan Province.

Soon, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building officially issued a document, and the 356th Factory was incorporated into the Panshan Machinery Factory. At the same time, there was also an administrative level for the Panshan Machinery Factory. Although it was still a deputy department-level unit, or a deputy division-level unit, Liu Tao's administrative level was raised by one level, from level 12 to level 11, and the basic salary was also raised from 177 yuan to 200 yuan, an increase of 23 yuan.

At this point, it can be said that as long as he takes a small step up, Liu Tao can jump from a middle-level cadre to a senior cadre.

This small step is a small step, but it is actually a world of difference, like a chasm, which most people cannot achieve even if they work hard for a lifetime.

Liu Tao asked the deputy director Wang Wei to serve as the director of Factory 356. Wang Wei had to do two things. One was to send workers to Panshan Machinery Factory in batches for training and integrate into the big family of Panshan Machinery Factory; the other was to plan to rebuild Factory 356.

For the current factory, the walls are made of earth bricks, which also looks simple. Liu Tao is not very happy with it. He still likes reinforced concrete structure or steel structure.

Since Factory 356 was incorporated into Panshan Machinery Factory, it had to install the Panshan Machinery Factory system.

As for the bicycle manufacturing business, there is no need. There are bicycles that can be made by other state-owned factories.

Panshan Machinery Factory military camp.

Liu Tao drove a Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun over.

Although the Panshan Militia Battalion was disbanded and the original militiamen returned home, the Armed Forces Department of the Panshan Machinery Factory still exists. After the troop streamlining plan, the Panshan Machinery Factory received 6,000 people to help with resettlement, equivalent to three infantry regiments.

After careful selection, the Armed Forces Department kept 2,500 people, and another 1,000 people were divided into two groups and sent to the Panshi Security Company in Hong Kong, and 700 people were sent to the branch factory as guards.

The current 800 people in the Armed Forces Department just happened to be able to build a synthetic battalion according to Liu Tao's idea.

The synthetic battalion has three infantry companies, two tank companies, an artillery company, a combat support company, and a logistics support company, including infantry, artillery, armor, reconnaissance, communications, engineers and other arms.

The commander of the synthetic battalion was originally the head of a main regiment. He made a mistake in the "Red Dragon Roar" last year. Liu Yong personally called and Liu Tao personally invited him to come.

"Director!" A loud voice came.

Liu Tao just came out of the cockpit and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Zhao Guoping in military uniform.

In just one month, Zhao Guoping became much darker and thinner.

It must be said that Zhao Guoping is indeed a powerful person. During this period, he got along well with his colleagues in the armed forces and the soldiers in the barracks.

"Not bad, not bad, you look more energetic! Comrade Li Guofu praised you last time." Liu Tao smiled.

Li Guofu is the head of the armed forces department of Panshan Machinery Factory and the commander of the synthetic battalion.

Normally, Li Guofu was the head of the main regiment before, and if he transferred to the local area, he would often need to be demoted by one or even two levels. However, Liu Tao personally invited him to serve as the head of the armed forces department of Panshan Machinery Factory and the commander of the synthetic battalion, but his rank was the director level and deputy division level, which was not demoted but promoted.

"It is all the support and help of comrades that have allowed me to learn a lot." Zhao Guoping was a little embarrassed.

When he came to Panshan Machinery Factory, he soon felt like he had discovered a new world.

It was very different from any state-owned factory he knew.

Many things interested him, such as the organizational structure of Panshan Machinery Factory, the new concept of Panshan Machinery Factory, and even the idea of ​​the synthetic battalion proposed by Liu Tao, which made him very interested.

In terms of building a synthetic battalion, Liu Tao also gave strong support, and even the 80-type self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and the 80-type tank were studied in advance by the synthetic battalion.

The firepower of a synthetic battalion is even much stronger than that of a traditional infantry regiment.

Who could have imagined that there are now two self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and two tanks in a combined battalion?

So Zhao Guoping usually spends a lot of time in the barracks, together with the soldiers, and studying and discussing with the commander of the battalion headquarters.

Zhao Guoping is also very interested in the 24-member special forces formed at the same time, and often visits the special forces' training, teaching, and tactical discussions.

Before, he didn't understand why he was arranged to come to Panshan Machinery Factory, but now Zhao Guoping understands a little.
