The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

The next day.

Liu Tao flew directly from Yangcheng Airport to Beijing.

As soon as he got off the plane, Liu Tao felt the unique joy of National Day.

There are small celebrations on May Day and big celebrations on October 1st.

The 84th National Day is particularly grand because a military parade will be held on National Day.

This is the first grand National Day military parade in 25 years since the National Day in 1959. It is very important for the whole country.

As early as mid-November last year, the authorities began to study and deploy the celebration and preparation of the military parade for the 35th anniversary of the National Day. For this National Day military parade, the country has also invested a lot of energy.

Panshan Group has held various activities to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the National Day since New Year's Day, including lectures, operas, dramas, concerts, movies, poems and so on.

Nothing is more effective than conducting a patriotic education inside and outside and deep into the soul at this time.

Back to the Siheyuan, every door of the Siheyuan has a red flag and a festive red banner.

After returning home, Liu Tao took a shower and tidied himself up. He picked up the phone and called his leader.

Afterwards, without caring about reuniting with his family or playing with his children, Liu Tao set off.

An hour later, in an office.

"Leader, we have counted that this batch of treasures has 73.8 tons of gold and jewelry, 42.6 tons of silver coins and jewelry, and 5.2 tons of diamonds and gems. In addition, we have also cleaned up a lot of agate and Buddha statues."

Liu Tao reported, and the long list had various classifications.

The leader was shocked. He didn't expect that Liu Tao secretly ran out and went to his third brother's house for a stroll, and actually got a treasure.

"Tell me, the total value of this batch of treasures." The leader said, there were so many categories that he couldn't remember.

Liu Tao said: "According to our statistics, the total value of this batch of wealth is about 500 million to 600 million US dollars, but there are many religious symbols and many cultural relics and antiques in it, the value fluctuates greatly, and it takes a long time to process."

The leader took a breath of cold air. Liu Tao sneaked out and brought back 500 million to 600 million US dollars.

This can almost be said to be pure profit.

Excluding the export trade of Panshan Group, the total value of the country's exports in a year does not create as much profit as 500 million to 600 million US dollars.

Originally, when he learned that Liu Tao sneaked to the third brother's house, he was very angry and wanted to criticize Liu Tao.

Liu Tao is really too important. One person is better than thousands of troops.

No matter how much attention is paid, it is not too much.

Up to now, in order to strengthen Liu Tao's security force, Liu Tao's security force has reached the highest level.

If Liu Tao died in the third brother's house, the loss would be extremely huge.

But when he heard that the total value of the treasure was 500 million to 600 million US dollars, he also understood why Liu Tao took such a big risk.

If it were him, he would also be willing to take this risk.

This is almost equivalent to the total profit of the country's two years of hard export.

"Leader, this trip to Brother San cost $300,000 to arrange, and the total cost of ships and vehicles was $500,000. After returning this time, I will give the special forces and other participants a first-class merit and a reward of 20,000 yuan." Liu Tao reported the expenses of this time.

The leader smiled and said, "You handled it very well. It is not an exaggeration to give the participants a first-class merit."

"This time you have given me a big surprise and brought back huge wealth to the country." The leader said.

Liu Tao asked, "Leader, how to deal with this batch of treasures?"

The leader showed a thoughtful look, "It stands to reason that your Panshan Group, as a reform pilot unit, has a lot of independence and autonomy. This is what I promised you at the beginning. This batch of treasures should be handled by you."

"However, the total value of this batch of treasures is so great that I can't make a decision directly. Let's hold a meeting to discuss and decide." The leader said.

Half an hour later, in the meeting room, Liu Tao reported again.

All the leaders were shocked. They didn't expect Liu Tao to bring such a big surprise all of a sudden.

When it comes to how to deal with this batch of treasures, everyone has different opinions.

Finally, the leader said: "You should know that the current completed section of the 'Beijing-Kowloon Railway' project has a maximum speed of 478 kilometers per hour. When it is opened to traffic, it will be no problem to reach an operating speed of 250 kilometers per hour. This will allow China to have the fastest high-speed rail in the world, and it also marks that our country's high-speed rail technology has reached the world's leading level. From Beijing to Hong Kong, it will only take 10 hours at the fastest, and when all stations are in operation, it will only take about 23 hours."

"This batch of treasures was obtained by Comrade Liu Tao and his men, and it should be handed over to Comrade Liu Tao for processing. I propose a processing plan. After Comrade Liu Tao processes this batch of treasures, the funds obtained will be invested in the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, and the Beijing-Shanghai Railway will be built into a high-speed railway like the 'Beijing-Kowloon Railway'." The leader smiled and said, "What do you think of this plan?"

"The Ministry of Railways is under great pressure. After the 'Beijing-Kowloon Railway' is completed, there will also be projects to keep so many people fed." The leader looked at everyone.

The other leaders thought that this processing plan was good.

Ultimately, it is applied to national construction.

Liu Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Leader, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway is 1,453.82 kilometers long. According to the standard of the 'Beijing-Kowloon Railway', and considering the possible increase in materials and labor, the total investment is about 40 billion yuan. We estimate that this batch of treasures is 5 or 6 billion US dollars. Even if it is the highest 6 billion US dollars, according to the exchange rate, it is less than 24 billion US dollars."

"This matter is finalized. Anyway, after the completion and opening to traffic, you can also generate revenue from passenger and freight transportation. Even if you lose money, you won't lose much." The leader said.

Okay!

Since it's like this, Liu Tao is naturally not suitable to say more.

The other leaders smiled. They knew that no matter how much this treasure was, it would not be enough to build the 'Beijing-Shanghai Railway' project, which means that Panshan Group will have to invest a lot of money.

They are happy to see this.

Although it is not good to always catch a sheep and wool it, who makes Panshan Group a big fat sheep? After wooling it, you can find that you can continue to wool it, and the speed of wool growth is quite fast.

Liu Tao complained on the surface, but in fact he was very happy.

The Beijing-Shanghai Railway project is definitely the busiest railway in China in the future. It can make a lot of money just by passenger transportation, not to mention freight.

It is no exaggeration to say that the profitability of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway will surpass the Beijing-Kowloon Railway!

Now you only need to invest a sum of money to build the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, which is definitely a big profit.

This is undoubtedly adding to the foundation of Panshan Group in the future. Even if the arms trade is not doing well at any time, other projects can maintain the operation of the entire group, instead of having a hard time all of a sudden.

Of course, this batch of treasures is not small, and it will not be completed in one year to deal with it. Liu Tao expects that it will take two years to maximize the benefits.
