Chapter 675 Steel Production
According to the huge demand for steel in China now, Liu Tao has no doubt that it will only take five or six years or even less for China's steel production to exceed 200 million tons.
From the establishment of China's first Hanyang Steel Plant in 1890 to the founding of the Republic, China's steel production in 59 years totaled 7.6 million tons (including the steel production of the machinery plant), of which the highest annual output was only 923,000 tons in 1943, and most of the output was distributed in the Northeast occupied by Japan. Due to the impact of the war, the national steel production in 1949 was only 158,000 tons, ranking 26th in the world.
After the founding of the Republic, after the first five-year plan, steel production reached 5.355 million tons in 1957. Now, my country's steel production has exceeded the 100 million ton mark, reaching 101.24 million tons, ranking first in the world, truly realizing "catching up with Britain and the United States".
It took only 40 years for the Republic to increase steel production by 640.76 times!
Steel production has exceeded 100 million tons, which is the dream of several generations.
Liu Tao is very confident that the national steel production will soon exceed 200 million tons, 300 million tons, and 400 million tons.
As for why he has this confidence, he still remembers that China's steel production, not counting the concealed, once exceeded the 1 billion ton mark, becoming the first country in the world to reach an annual steel production of 1 billion tons.
At that time, there was a saying that made people laugh and cry, that is, the world's first steel production is China (except Hebei Province), the second is China Hebei Province (except Tangshan), and the third is China Hebei Province Tangshan City.
And there is definitely a lot of concealed steel production here.
If you don't believe it, go and watch the interview video of Chief Ma.
In recent years, the development speed of several steel mills has been very fierce, and the development of these steel mills has driven the development of the local economy.
Just like the rapid development of Hebei Province, a very important reason is that the development speed of steel mills is very fast, which has driven the development of the entire Hebei Province.
Moreover, the development of China's steel industry is not only reflected in the huge changes in production, but also in the adjustment of industrial structure and the improvement of scientific and technological content. The production of various special steels is not low.
China's steel production is rapid, and cement production is also very rapid.
The next morning, Liu Tao went to Beijing Institute of Technology, but he was invited to give a lecture.
Although Liu Tao has the title of professor of Beijing Institute of Technology, he actually does not need to give lectures to undergraduates. He only needs to give one or two lectures a year.
The graduate students led by Liu Tao are mainly in Beijing Institute of Technology and Southwest Associated University.
These are the two universities with the closest relationship with him.
Because of the good development of the weapons industry system, Beijing Institute of Technology has also developed very well. At present, it is only second to Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Southwest Associated University in the country, and firmly occupies the fourth place in the country.
At present, Tsinghua University, Peking University and Southwest Associated University are in a class of their own in China. Although Southwest Associated University was founded late, it started at a very high level, has strong faculty and abundant school funding, so it is very strong in the country.
Moreover, Southwest Associated University has the power to recruit students independently. Every year, it attracts some excellent students through independent recruitment in advance.
Liu Tao won the "Turing Award" this time, and Beijing Institute of Technology invited him to return to school to give lectures to students many times.
After all, the "Turing Award" is the highest award in the world's computer industry, known as the Nobel Prize in the computer industry. As the first Chinese to win the "Turing Award", this is not only an honor for Liu Tao, but also a blessing for Beijing Institute of Technology, his alma mater.
The auditorium of Beijing Institute of Technology is already crowded at this time, and there are no empty seats. Wherever there are people standing, there are people.
Almost every student has a notebook and a pen in his hand, and they discuss in a low voice.
If you ask which professor's lecture is the most popular, then it is undoubtedly Liu Tao.
Although Liu Tao rarely gives lectures at Beijing University of Technology every year, every time he gives a lecture, it is the most popular, and students rush to sit in.
Even students from nearby universities will rush to attend the lectures.
"Professor Liu is really amazing. He has won the highest international computer award. He is really a role model for my generation."
"I heard that the prize money is a lot of money, most of which cannot be earned in a lifetime."
"I am looking forward to when Professor Liu can also win the Nobel Prize."
"I don't care what award Professor Liu won, I just care about how many people Panshan Group will recruit from our school this year, and whether Professor Liu will recruit graduate students this year."
"It would be best to be able to enter Panshan Group. I heard that the treatment is super good, unique in the country, better than entering a ministry."
"I have a rumor that Panshan Group will recruit a total of 200 students from students, with excellent academic performance and good character and learning!"
"Is it true? They are going to recruit 200 more people? Didn't they recruit 200 people last year? It can't be a lie, right?"
Many people talked about recruitment.
Before, college students were guaranteed to be assigned jobs. But it is different now. It can no longer be called guaranteed employment, or it is no longer completely guaranteed employment. It is a two-way choice. Various state-owned enterprises, research institutes, government agencies, etc. come to the school to recruit people. Many of them are actually recruiting people in a targeted manner, and the supply and demand situation varies in different majors.
Graduation allocation refers to the unified arrangement of employment for university or technical secondary school graduates according to the planned indicators allocated by the state under the planned economic system. The graduation allocation system emphasizes "obeying the state" and does not pay much attention to individual interests, hobbies, abilities, specialties and employment requirements.
Graduation allocation has played a role in promoting talent flow and resource allocation and coordinating the interests of different industries and regions in a specific period. However, with the establishment of the market economy system, its disadvantages have become increasingly apparent.
For example, if the system is too rigid and too many are allocated, graduates, schools and employers cannot understand and choose each other in advance, which is easy to cause the mismatch between talent allocation and positions, and is not conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of the three parties.
For example, for employers, there is only the obligation to accept but no right to choose. Regardless of whether it is needed or not, all allocations are made according to the plan, which is easy to cause a backlog of talents and waste, and it is difficult to obtain indicators for urgently needed talents.
For example, for schools, the unified allocation of graduates cuts off the connection between schools and society, and the setting of courses and professional structures can ignore social needs, and the educational effect is difficult to be tested in practice. For students, they get a "iron rice bowl" as soon as they enter the school gate, and become a "state cadre". They are employed as soon as they graduate, lack the internal motivation to study, and are in a passive position of "leaving it to fate" when they are assigned. They cannot choose a suitable job according to their abilities, specialties and hobbies.
Therefore, there is a reform of two-way selection to solve the drawbacks of guaranteed assignment and give all parties a choice.
There are even students who choose not to go to state-owned enterprises, research institutes, government agencies, etc., but to go to private enterprises. After all, although private enterprises are not iron rice bowls, they often have higher salaries and more freedom.
Some students are even ambitious and choose to start a business after graduation and venture into society.
But for most people, being able to go to a good unit is naturally the best choice, and Panshan Group is undoubtedly the best place.
