Chapter 57 Return to Beijing
This day.
Liu Tao took a jeep to leave Panshan Machinery Factory and headed for Kun City.
Like before, Liu Tao was going to Beijing by plane this time to save time.
But he had to meet Wang Tiezhu in Kun City.
More than two hours later, the jeep drove into the compound of the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office, and Liu Tao went directly to Wang Tiezhu's office.
"Director, this batch of arms depends on you to coordinate!" Liu Tao saw Wang Tiezhu and shook Wang Tiezhu's hand.
The orders to be delivered to Iraq have been prepared, and will be loaded on the train and shipped to Yangcheng today.
Yangcheng has a port where Iraqi merchant ships can dock and transport arms.
All of these had to be coordinated by Wang Tiezhu and the Fifth Machine Department, and Panshan Machinery Factory did not have that much power.
Wang Tiezhu said solemnly: "The Guangdong Province has been contacted, and the Fifth Machine Department sent a working group to Yangcheng in person a few days ago!"
This order was the first order to be transformed from free aid to paid sales.
This is of great significance for how to transform into an international arms dealer. After all, no one knows how to sell arms, no one has been an arms dealer, and there is no experience.
This order also made the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building show its face.
Not long ago, the delegation of the Third Ministry of Machine Building went to Egypt and came back with an order of 167 million US dollars. They thought it was the first arms order in history, but they were told that the honor had belonged to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.
You should know that the delegation of the Third Ministry of Machine Building went abroad with 5 US dollars. They were responsible for the mission, and the purpose was not only to promote new cooperation with Egypt, but also to transform from free aid to arms dealers.
After eating all the wind and sand and overcoming countless difficulties, the result was good. A young man in Beijing easily got an order of more than 20 million US dollars.
"You can go to Beijing with peace of mind. As long as the other party has inspected the arms and paid the balance, it can be shipped." Wang Tiezhu said, "You go to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and can get in touch with Yangcheng at any time."
Liu Tao nodded slightly.
A week ago, he began to contact the Fifth Machine Department, Rashid and Al, and asked them to arrange merchant ships to Guangzhou.
Yun Province is good in everything, but it lacks a port.
Otherwise, there would be no need to be so troublesome.
Because this is the first order with Iraq, there is not only a deposit, but also the balance must be settled when loading.
Otherwise, if the other party breaches the contract, there is nothing he can do.
If it is a major international arms dealer, they dare to ship after receiving the deposit, and they are not worried that the customer will not pay. Because if they don't pay, these major international arms dealers have ways to make customers pay a huge price.
"This time when you go to Beijing, you must listen more, watch more and talk less, and you must be humble." Wang Tiezhu repeatedly reminded Liu Tao. He was worried that Liu Tao would be young and frivolous and leave a bad impression on the leader.
Liu Tao said: "Director, don't worry!"
This time he went to Beijing for a total of one week. During this week, Panshan Machinery Factory did not stop production because of completing the order, but continued to produce with all its strength.
Now Afghanistan and Iraq have already shown signs.
Afghanistan is now in turmoil, with three coups in six years. The "April Revolution" that took place this spring has already made Liu Tao see the signs. It is not far from the Soviet steel torrent sweeping across Afghanistan. Liu Tao seems to see the polar bear rushing into the graveyard of the empire.
As for the relationship between Iran and Iraq, Liu Tao is always paying attention. Since the large-scale anti-king movement broke out in Persia two years ago, the Pahlavi dynasty has entered the countdown. In January of this year, King Pahlavi was forced to go abroad for a "long vacation". In April, the Pahlavi Kingdom had officially concluded that Persia had established a system of combining politics and religion.
Now all that is left is to detain embassy personnel, thus triggering the Iranian hostage crisis.
Iraq, benefiting from oil exports, has implemented welfare policies that some developed countries envy. In addition to free medical care and free education, there are also enviable housing policies and free pensions.
Iraq's military strength is also very strong. Judging from the data on paper, it is the world's third largest military power.
After all, Annan has been beaten up and suffered heavy losses. The data on paper is not as good as Iraq.
As for China, its military strength ranks sixth or seventh in the world.
In the evening, Liu Tao's plane had landed at Beijing Airport.
In Beijing at this time, there were no high-rise buildings, no traffic, and bicycles were everywhere.
Those who worked far away took the bus; those who were close to work rode bicycles.
At this time, China was a bicycle kingdom!
Bicycles were also one of the three major items for marriage. Anyone who had a Phoenix brand bicycle could ride a bicycle with a gust of wind.
As for cars, there were very few, and there were no more than 5,000 cars in the entire capital.
Liu Tao took the bus and went home first.
"Son~~ why are you back?" Chen Fang was cooking and was surprised to see Liu Tao open the door.
"I went to Beijing to attend a meeting. Where is my dad? He hasn't come back yet?" Liu Tao looked around and found that Liu Zhenbang and Liu Ziyu were not at home.
Liu Tao put his briefcase on the sofa and sat down.
Then he opened his backpack and took out an envelope from it.
After a trip back, he naturally couldn't come back empty-handed.
There were various tickets in the envelope, all of which were valid throughout the country.
In addition, there is the passbook.
The bills from Yunnan Province could not be used in Beijing, so Liu Tao did not bring them back. As for the money in the passbook, he could withdraw it from the bank at any time.
Liu Tao did not need the money at Panshan Machinery Factory.
He took all the money home.
Chen Fang had the previous experience, so when she saw the bills and passbooks Liu Tao took out, she was no longer panicked.
"Son, the family is not short of money now, you can keep it for marrying a wife in the future." Chen Fang said.
Liu Tao smiled, "Mom, leave the money at home, and then help my eldest sister and second sister, or borrow money from relatives."
"I'm not in a hurry to get married." He didn't even have a partner yet, so why should he be in a hurry.
"Alas, your eldest sister and second sister are also suffering." Chen Fang was sad.
The educated youth went to the countryside back then, and now they can't come back, so they can only stay in the local area.
The eldest sister went to the Great Northern Wilderness, and the second sister went to Yunnan Province.
The journey is long, and for so many years, they have relied on letters to keep in touch.
"Mom, when I go back this time, I'll ask someone to help arrange for my second sister and the others to work in our factory. They'll come back once or twice a year." Liu Tao's heart moved.
Chen Fang shook her head, "We can't violate the principles of the organization."
Liu Tao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. This generation has a firm belief and is more devoted to the motherland.
However, he has already made a decision in his heart. As a time traveler who has experienced all kinds of things later, Liu Tao does not have this psychological barrier.
Liu Tao is willing to help his loved ones.
Anyway, Panshan Machinery Factory is constantly growing and needs people everywhere. Coming here is also contributing to Panshan Machinery Factory.
In the Yunnan Province Construction Corps, we contribute to the construction of the motherland, and coming to Panshan Machinery Factory is also contributing to the motherland.
