Chapter 60: The Clarion Call for Military-Civilian Transition

At the beginning of the year, according to the data released by the newly established State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the foreign exchange reserves were only 183 million US dollars!

The foreign exchange reserves of the entire country were only 183 million US dollars!

And the foreign exchange reserves are not only US dollars, but also include British pounds, Hong Kong dollars, francs, German marks, rubles, etc.!

Those who are really in US dollars may not even have 30 million US dollars in foreign exchange reserves.

And the embassies and consulates of foreign affairs departments in various countries overseas, including in the United Nations, all need to use foreign exchange, especially US dollars.

Not to mention that the reform and opening-up policy made at the end of last year, all fields and units need a lot of foreign exchange to buy books, study abroad, buy advanced machines, etc.

24.67 million US dollars, if given to Liu Tao, Liu Tao can get about 70 million RMB.

But Wang Baoguo's opening means that he can only get 37 million RMB.

And since Wang Baoguo opened his mouth, it means that this is not just Wang Baoguo's intention, but the intention of the entire Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

A higher official can crush people!

What's more, Wang Baoguo is seven levels higher than him in terms of administrative level!

If it is considered as a general statement, it is also a three-level official.

The arm cannot bend the thigh!

Liu Tao can only secretly comfort himself that this is a sitting account division, almost half for each person!

Otherwise, the benefits will all be taken by Panshan Machinery Factory, why should the Fifth Ministry of Machinery contribute?

Wang Baoguo was relieved when he saw Liu Tao agreed.

This is a young man who knows the overall situation!

"The matter you mentioned last time was discussed in a meeting in the ministry. At the end of the year, an expert group will be sent to Panshan Machinery Factory for inspection. If it meets the requirements, it will be upgraded to a large military factory and directly under the ministry." Wang Baoguo said.

Liu Tao's eyes lit up.

If it can be upgraded to a large military factory, then this time it will not be a loss, but a profit.

The administrative level of Panshan Machinery Factory will not necessarily be upgraded if it is upgraded from a small and medium-sized military factory to a large military factory, because the administrative level of the original Panshan Machinery Factory will appear higher because of Wang Tiezhu.

However, it is also a department-level unit, but the administrative level may be different!

It is entirely possible for his administrative level to be upgraded from level 13 to level 12.

Although the salary only increased by 18 yuan after such a promotion, it is important to know that this represents a very important step forward.

Moreover, it has become a large military factory and has been directly under the Ministry. This also means that as long as the scale is reached in the future, it will be much easier to upgrade the factory's level.

If it belongs to the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office, then the current administrative level has reached its limit, because the level of the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office is there.

Wang Baoguo reminded Liu Tao, "Military-to-civilian conversion is the general trend. This is the result of the decision-making level's strategic response to the domestic and international situation."

Military-to-civilian conversion, now the wind has risen.

After 30 years of hard construction since liberation, the current defense industry has formed a relatively independent system with complete functions, supporting facilities, reasonable layout, and a large team. This system has contributed to enhancing the comprehensive national strength of New China and defending New China.

However, as the decision-making level makes a new judgment on the historical trend, peace and development are the themes of the world, which also means that China's national strategic focus has shifted to construction-centered. The national defense construction that was previously in a wartime physique has correspondingly established a new guiding principle that obeys the overall situation of national construction in the new era.

As a result, the huge national defense industry is facing a very sharp contradiction: on the one hand, with the establishment of the national defense industrial system and the completion of the third-line construction, the military production capacity has doubled; on the other hand, the military orders have dropped sharply, and there is a serious imbalance between production capacity and social demand.

It is for this reason that the decision-making level has formulated a policy of combining military and civilian for the national defense industry.

Military-to-civilian conversion requires the decomposition and reorganization of the production factors of national defense, and strives to achieve effective allocation of resources. And this includes five aspects, namely the commercialization of material resources, the flexibility of equipment resources, and the diversification of technical resources!

Liu Tao naturally knew that this was the general trend, and he had heard of some things.

In Yun Province, even though the "Red Dragon's Roar" ended not long ago, many national defense military production tasks have dropped significantly, causing many military industries to fall into the dilemma of suspension of production or semi-suspension of production.

I don't know how many factory directors went to Wang Tiezhu every few days to complain, either to give production targets or to give funding.

Wang Tiezhu was so worried that he asked Liu Tao tentatively on the phone if he could take over a few more factories.

"The transfer of small and medium-sized factories in the third line to civilian use and the allocation to local industrial bureaus are too cruel and unfair to the military workers who worked so hard and struggled so hard!" Liu Tao showed a look of reluctance.

"There is no way. The military production tasks have dropped significantly and we cannot afford to support so many military enterprises." Wang Baoguo showed a helpless look.

In the past, we were aiming for the S3 season, so we would do whatever it took.

After all, if we are not on the table, we will appear on the menu.

The losers in the S3 season will be dismembered and divided, and the winners will eat them until there is nothing left.

It is different now. The decision-makers have made the judgment that "peace and development are the world's themes", so they will shift their focus and economic construction will be the center!

Wang Baoguo was promoted from the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office. In this position, he knows more about the plight of the third-line military enterprises and how huge the third-line military enterprises across the country are.

The national defense management offices of various provinces often complain to the Ministry of Machinery.

Military to civilian, just three words, but it contains so much bitterness!

Liu Tao sighed. Reform and opening up is a historical trend. He also knows how much China has achieved in economic construction after reform and opening up, but behind this, it has also paid a huge price.

This is not to say that there are no advantages and no disadvantages. It is just that among the advantages and disadvantages, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"You are indispensable for the Panshan Machinery Factory to be what it is today. If it weren't for you, the Panshan Machinery Factory would have had to convert the military into civilians." Wang Baoguo said.

Because of the firearms and semi-automatic bullet production lines developed by Liu Tao, there is no shortage of military procurement due to the installation. There is no upper limit for Panshan Machinery Factory's production task indicators. In addition, with this foreign trade order, Panshan Machinery Factory can survive It is quite nourishing. At least none of the military factories directly under the Fifth Machinery Department can compare with Panshan Machinery Factory.

The system formulated by Liu Tao has also achieved good results in Panshan Machinery Factory and has become a model for military industrial enterprises. The Fifth Machinery Department is summarizing, studying and promoting it.

"Leader, can Panshan Machinery Factory also take care of some civilian fields?" Liu Tao asked: "If possible, it would be better to make profits in the civilian field and subsidize the military industry."

Liu Tao had a look of expectation in his eyes.

The military industry is one leg, and the civilian industry is another leg.

Walking with only one leg is always unstable. Walking with two legs is stable.
