Chapter 789 Fire Tank
On the evening of September 30.
Liu Tao took his family, including Liu Honglei's family, on a special plane back to Beijing.
They will have a seven-day holiday during this National Day holiday.
Panshan Group has implemented a seven-day National Day holiday for many years. The holidays implemented by Panshan Group are different from the national statutory holidays.
For this reason, there have been many disputes.
After all, Panshan Group implements 31 days of holidays a year, including 3 days of New Year's Day, 7 days of Spring Festival, 3 days of Qingming Festival, 5 days of Labor Day, 3 days of Dragon Boat Festival, 3 days of Mid-Autumn Festival, and 7 days of National Day.
In addition to unified holidays, Panshan Group is now also introducing annual leave, and different employees can enjoy different annual leave days.
The so-called annual leave refers to the continuous paid leave that workers enjoy every year after working for a certain number of years. Annual leave includes basic annual leave and additional leave.
At present, the annual leave stipulated by Panshan Group is 5 days of annual leave for those who have worked for 1 year but less than 10 years; 10 days of annual leave for those who have worked for 10 years but less than 20 years; 15 days of annual leave for those who have worked for 20 years or more.
For the annual leave that is not taken each year, the employees will be compensated at three times the daily wage.
When Panshan Group just introduced the annual leave this year, it caused quite a bit of controversy.
After all, Panshan Group's salary system is much higher than other state-owned enterprises, and the annual holiday leave time is also much higher than others. Now it is good, and annual leave has been introduced.
It is difficult not to cause controversy.
Panshan Group's unified statement to the outside world is that as a reform pilot unit, this is a reform pilot.
It is normal for some people to be jealous.
After all, people will always make comparisons, and there will be gaps when there are comparisons. This is human nature.
When Liu Tao and his friends returned to the courtyard, there were eight more children, and it became lively all of a sudden.
Liu Ziyu seemed like a child who never grew up, and continued to be the king of children.
Liu Zhenbang handed a cigarette to Liu Tao, but Liu Tao waved his hand and didn't take it. He only smoked a few cigarettes a year, unless he was upset or anxious.
"Have you really decided to export fuel-air explosives to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait?" Liu Zhenbang asked.
Fire tanks are firefighting equipment. Although they look like tanks, they are used for firefighting after all. No one can say anything.
But fuel-air explosives are different. They are called sub-nuclear weapons.
The power is extraordinary!
Liu Tao nodded slightly and said, "Well, this matter has been discussed with the Americans, but there is a limit on the amount of ammunition for a single fuel-air explosive, and there is a total limit."
Liu Tao has had many confrontations with the Americans on this matter.
According to the Americans' calculations, Saudi Arabia and others can have military power, but it should not be too strong, so as not to threaten Israel and affect the interests of Americans in the Middle East.
Based on this consideration, fuel-air explosives, Type 80 main battle tanks, etc., are naturally best not to be sold to Saudi Arabia.
But Liu Tao kept emphasizing that they were firefighting tanks and firefighting oxygen depleting agents, and finally convinced the Americans.
As a price, a company under Panshan Group that specializes in agricultural product import business purchased a batch of grain from the United States.
"At that time, all the sealed tanks will be converted into firefighting tanks and used as much as possible." Liu Tao chuckled: "In this way, the army can add some new tanks."
In fact, there are quite a few tanks in China, and the quantity is still very large.
It is definitely unrealistic to modernize these tanks, because the tank chassis and tank engines are there.
But these sealed tanks can be converted into firefighting tanks and waste can be recycled.
After all, firefighting tanks are used to put out fires, not to fight.
Proper modification costs about 300,000 yuan, and the whole vehicle will be exported to the Middle East at least 1.5 to 3.5 million yuan.
For example, the export price of the firefighting tank converted from the Type 59 tank can reach 3.5 million yuan.
The so-called firefighting tank is a tank body with camouflage color all over, made of special armored steel plates. The top is equipped with a large-caliber vehicle-mounted water cannon, which has a longer range than ordinary fire trucks. The vehicle is equipped with flammable and toxic gas detectors. There is a hydraulic obstacle shovel at the front of the vehicle. It can rely on the huge power provided by the tank's diesel engine to hit, push, and pull various obstacles to ensure that it can approach the fire scene to extinguish the fire or open a rescue channel for other vehicles under various complex conditions.
This fire tank has outstanding functional characteristics such as fire prevention, explosion prevention, anti-toxicity, and obstacle removal. In the case of major fires such as dangerous chemical leaks and large-scale serious fires, the fire tank plays a role with its advantages of thick skin, strong loading capacity, and strong obstacle-breaking ability.
In the firefighting of the Iraqi oil field this time, the fire tank played a vital role.
This kind of fire tank is not only needed in the Middle East, but also in China's fire department.
For example, the modified 59-type fire tank has a water cannon range of up to 70 meters.
"You Panshan Group always has all kinds of strange ideas and courage!" Liu Zhenbang said with emotion.
Firefighting tanks, who would have thought of this before? Tanks can be converted into firefighting tanks for firefighting.
This can make use of obsolete tanks or sealed tanks instead of rusting into a pile of scrap metal.
Having come through that era, Liu Zhenbang knows very well that these tanks were manufactured by the country with thriftiness, and they are all wealth belonging to the people.
Of course, although Panshan Group is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, since Panshan Group took back the foreign exchange settlement rights, its independence and autonomy have been very large.
In addition, Panshan Group involves many fields, and it is difficult for the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry to influence Panshan Group.
Even the personnel appointments of Panshan Group do not need to go through the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry.
Now the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry has nominal jurisdiction over Panshan Group.
In fact, the two sides are equal in terms of administrative level.
However, no one can erase the origin of the two sides, and this kind of incense will always exist.
Because when tracing the history of both sides, we can always see the huge intersection between the two sides.
Every year, the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry will support a group of young cadres of Panshan Group. Every time Panshan Group changes its term, there is always a member of the party group from the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry.
And Panshan Group has taken care of China Northern Ordnance Industry Corporation.
In fact, the Fifth Machine Ministry has become the current China North Ordnance Industry Corporation and China South Ordnance Industry Corporation. The two sides are both competitors and partners, and are responsible for exercising the industry management functions of the weapons industry.
And you should know that China South Ordnance Industry Corporation is only a part of Panshan Group, and its business is even less than a quarter of Panshan Group's total business. It is conceivable that Panshan Group has become a huge tree now.
This tree has roots extending to all aspects and fields.
