The Rise of Great Powers: Starting From Military Industry

Chapter 531 Living Together

The Ministry of Ordnance was officially abolished and merged with the Ministry of Machinery Industry (the First Ministry of Machinery Industry) to form the State Machinery Industry Commission.

Zou Jiahua, head of the Ministry of Ordnance, served as the director of the State Machinery Industry Commission.

When Liu Tao came here, the sign had been changed.

The Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry has completely become history and completed its historical mission.

This is definitely complicated for many people and they will definitely miss it!

It’s just that the arm can’t twist the thigh. The country needs reform and opening up, and institutional reforms are constantly going on. No matter whether you are willing or not, you have to obey the overall situation.

As soon as he came to the unit, Liu Tao heard the employees talking about the latest salary reform.

Yes, this year, the Chinese government agencies, enterprises and institutions have reformed their salaries again and adjusted their salaries.

Almost every year, they have to be adjusted once, otherwise they will be far behind the level of social wage increases.

The rapid development of social economy has promoted the continuous increase in social wages.

Just like the current Pengcheng, the average monthly salary has reached 322 yuan, while in 1979 the average monthly salary was 64 yuan, and the salary has increased five times!

The average monthly salary in Beijing is not as high as that in Shenzhen, but it has reached 240 yuan, which is three or four times higher than that in 1979.

Of course, the average monthly salary of 240 yuan does not mean that everyone's salary is 240 yuan. Some are higher and some are lower. The higher monthly salary may be 1,000 or even 2,000 or 3,000 yuan, while the lower may be only 100 yuan.

Although the salary level has risen rapidly, the housing price has also risen rapidly, and it is still out of reach for most ordinary people.

When Guangzhou opened the first commercial housing in the country, the price was 700 yuan/square meter (1982). Now the commercial housing in Guangzhou, such as Liuyun Community and Tianhe East, is priced at 1,200 to 1,500 yuan/square meter, and it is selling very well. It is almost sold out in just a few days after the sale.

This is not because the real estate developers do not want to sell more, but because there is a guiding price set by the government.

Otherwise, it may exceed 2,000 yuan/square meter or even 3,000 yuan/square meter.

Similarly, the housing prices in Pengcheng are also very high, and the price of Dongxiao Garden is as high as 1,500 yuan/square meter!

The housing prices here in Beijing are between 1,000 yuan/square meter and 2,000 yuan/square meter.

In other words, this housing price is equivalent to 4 to 8 times the average monthly salary, which is still a considerable amount for ordinary families at present.

Liu Tao came to Liu Zhenbang's office. In Liu Zhenbang's office, Liu Zhenbang and several others were discussing the unit welfare housing distribution.

But before, the Fifth Ministry of Machinery had more money, so it planned to build a new staff community and invested some money to build dormitory buildings. Now these dormitory buildings have been built and are about to be distributed.

As a result, because the Fifth Ministry of Machinery and the First Ministry of Machinery have merged into the State Machinery Industry Commission, the original employees of the First Ministry of Machinery are not working anymore and are making a fuss, demanding the same treatment, which makes the leaders very annoyed.

There are quarrels below, in the middle, and above!

After all, in a system, there are always relatives and friends, and all kinds of relationships are tangled.

"What's so difficult about this? It's nothing more than waiting one or two more years to build a dormitory community!" Liu Tao said.

Liu Zhenbang rolled his eyes, "You make it sound easy, who will pay for it?"

"Your Panshan Group is a big company with a lot of money. We don't have that much money here. Everyone wants to get a room, and they all have their own accounts. Why should the Fifth Ministry of Machinery pay for it?" Liu Zhenbang said unhappily.

Although the Fifth Ministry of Machinery and the First Ministry of Machinery were merged into the State Machinery Industry Commission, they were just a change of name. The internal affairs have not been straightened out yet, and even the offices and accounts are separated.

"They have been merged, and the account books will be merged sooner or later. There will no longer be the Fifth Ministry of Machinery and the First Ministry of Machinery in the future!" Liu Tao said: "For the construction of dormitories, whoever is evaluated for excellence and advanced will be given priority in getting a room. If the money is not enough, let the employees pay part of the money, and the unit will advance part of the money."

Welfare housing distribution is now being carried out all over the country.

Because no one can afford to buy a house with just their personal salary, even the leaders of government agencies, enterprises and institutions.

So it is often the employees who pay part of the money and the units who pay part of the money.

Liu Tao was not troubled by this. When each factory was built, a large number of houses would be built. These houses would be divided into rooms and given to those who performed well and were rated as advanced. As for ordinary workers with average performance, they could only live in dormitories. This is also to inspire everyone to work hard and be serious.

If it is not enough after development to a certain extent, then dormitories will be built.

Liu Tao had never encountered such a quarrel between the Fifth Ministry of Machinery and the First Ministry of Machinery for their own interests, just after they started living together, over the division of houses.

Even though the Fifth Ministry of Machinery had lost a lot of money as a middleman because Panshan Group took back the foreign exchange settlement rights and no longer went through the Fifth Ministry of Machinery as a middleman, and directly settled foreign exchange with banks, the Fifth Ministry of Machinery had less income than before, but the Fifth Ministry of Machinery had foreign trade every year. Although it was not as much as Panshan Group, it was not less, which made the money in the account of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery much more than that of the First Ministry of Machinery.

Compared with the First and Fifth Machine Ministries, the First and Fifth Machine Ministries are like beggars.

Liu Tao, who had just arrived at the merged unit, could already feel the many contradictions within it, and it might not be easy to straighten them out later.

The military-to-civilian conversion of the original third-line factories of the weapons industry system of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building was successfully completed, but the military-to-civilian conversion of the third-line factories of the First Ministry of Machine Building was not completed very well, and there were still a lot of them, which would inevitably be solved by the merged National Machinery Industry Commission.

Now Liu Tao even suspected that the higher-ups saw that the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building was living too comfortably, so they merged the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and the First Ministry of Machine Building to let the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building help its brother unit.

After staying in Liu Zhenbang's office for a while, the secretary came to tell Liu Tao to go to the meeting room.

One of the topics of the meeting room was to divide the national weapons system into north and south, with the northern part assigned to the soon-to-be-established China Northern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, the southern part assigned to the China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, and the Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation restructured into the China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation.

There is no doubt that this is a world-shaking event for the entire weapons industry system.

Liu Tao didn't care about this, because all the third-line factories in the Southwest Ordnance Industry System had been merged into Panshan Group. The Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation was already the largest ordnance group in the entire southwest, and also the largest ordnance group in the country. The only large ordnance factories in the entire southwest were under the jurisdiction of the Ordnance Industry Corporation.

Panshan Group had sufficient funds and talent to merge ordnance factories in other southern provinces.

Because after the implementation of "military-to-civilian conversion", the third-line factories in the ordnance industry system had been incorporated into the local industrial bureaus. Those that remained in the ordnance industry system were all large ordnance factories without exception, and the number of large ordnance factories in the entire south was not large!

By incorporating the Southwest Ordnance Industry Corporation into the Southwest Ordnance Industry Corporation and reorganizing it into the China Southern Ordnance Industry Corporation, Liu Tao was confident that it would only take two or three years to consume these large ordnance factories and incorporate them into the entire Panshan Group system.

However, this involved the administrative level of the Southwest Ordnance Industry Corporation, or the China Southern Ordnance Industry Corporation.

It can't be divided into two, and the administrative level of China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation is lower than that of China Northern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation!
