The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

There are three main factors behind Panshan Group’s investment in Modou Port.

One factor is that we are optimistic about the future development potential of Modu Port. Investment in port construction has a very good return on investment, which can be seen from the annual revenue and income of Xiangjiang Port.

One factor is that Magic City is undergoing a major development in Pudong, and at the same time the country has positioned Magic City as the economic center of China. It needs Magic City to develop faster and better, and Panshan Group has to bear part of this.

The last factor is to control your own profits. After all, you need to hand over 30% of your profits every year. If you invest it, you will hand over less.

But investment is investment, and brothers must settle the accounts clearly. Only by settling the accounts clearly before investing, will there be no nasties in the future.

The two parties cooperated to establish the Modu International Port Group, which owns the entire Modu Port and will invest heavily later.

A total investment of 250 billion is enough to make the Magic City economy take off. After all, it can bring a lot of employment. A large number of construction workers will be needed during the construction period. Once it is completed and put into operation, the Magic City International Port Group will also need a large number of employees to operate the port. , Maintenance, which includes administrative office staff, customs staff, foreign trade service personnel, loading and unloading workers, container manufacturing workers and maintenance workers. This group of employees is at least 100,000-level.

Based on the salary level of Panshan Group, these employees will belong to the high-income group.

Not to mention, port construction can promote the import and export of Modu Port, make Modu Port truly a major hub port along the Chinese coast, and make Modu truly a large international trade port.

And Liu Tao was right. Modou Port is not the only choice for Panshan Group. Panshan Group can also choose Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces for port investment. This aspect is actually not much worse than Modou Port.

And in fact, Modu knows that Panshan Group has been in contact with Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the past two years, and has port investments in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.

This makes the Magic City very passive.

What China lacks now is funds, not land. Land is not valuable now.

As for the Magic City, they can't get much funds, and the Magic City Port is not Panshan Group's only option.

This puts Magic City in a passive state, and Magic City does not dare to gamble. Once the bet loses, Panshan Group will invest money in Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces, which means that the economies of Zhejiang and Jiangsu Province will take off, and Magic City will have many exports. will be transferred to Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.

As a result, there is no need for Shanghai to talk about becoming the economic center of the mainland! ?

Modu is not worried at all about whether Panshan Group has the financial resources, because the leaders know that Panshan Group’s annual tax payment far exceeds that of Modu.

But the 20% ratio is really difficult for the city to accept.

After a morning of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached.

The two parties formed the Magic City International Port Group. China Port Group Corporation and Hong Kong Port Group each invested RMB 100 billion, each holding 35% of the shares, and a total of 70% of the shares; Magic City held 30%.

The Hong Kong Port Group is also responsible for training employees to equip them with the capabilities to operate a modern port.

This aspect is also what the Magic City lacks.

Although there are colleges and universities in Magic City, not all college graduates stay in Magic City. Many of them are distributed to various parts of the country. About one-third of those who actually stay in Magic City, and more than half of this third go to foreign companies. , Hong Kong and Taiwan enterprises.

Here in Shanghai, foreign companies are the best choice, followed by Hong Kong and Taiwan companies, and then large state-owned enterprises and government departments.

The Magic City held a press conference, the two parties signed a contract agreement, and then announced to the outside world that the era of large-scale development of the Magic City Port has arrived.

Suddenly, this became big news in China. After all, the total investment was 250 billion yuan, which is a lot of money.

Liu Tao and the leaders from Magic City went to the Magic City Shipyard.

There are three major shipyards in Modu, namely Modu Shipyard, Jiangnan Shipyard, and Hudong Shipyard.

The predecessors of Modu Shipyard are Yinglian Shipyard and China Merchants Machinery Shipyard. In 1982, it was placed under the leadership of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation by the Ministry of Transport. In March 1985, it was renamed Modu Shipyard.

The state spared no effort in investing in the Modu Shipyard. During the '1st Five-Year Plan' period, the Modu Shipyard invested 12.02 million yuan in capital construction, and during the '2nd Five-Year Plan' period, a total of 20.98 million yuan was invested in fixed assets. During the fifth period, 12.75 million yuan was used for fixed asset investment, and during the fourth five-year period, 57.27 million yuan was used for fixed asset investment.

Investment during the ‘Fifth Five-Year Plan’, ‘Sixth Five-Year Plan’ and ‘Seventh Five-Year Plan’ periods were all around 60 million.

During the Eighth Five-Year Plan period, in order to develop the shipbuilding industry, the Modu Shipyard has reached 265 million.

After this transformation, the Modu Shipyard has the ability to build 35,000-ton ships and 60,000-ton ships. The entire Modu Shipyard has the ability to build 165,000-ton ships and 110,000-kilowatt diesel engines annually.

By the end of the 'Eighth Five-Year Plan', the Modu Shipyard will have more than 8,500 employees, including 1,700 professional and technical personnel of various types. It will have one 3.5-ton class shipyard (with a 60,000-ton class capacity) and one 25,000-ton class slipway. One 10,000-ton floating dock (lifting capacity: 11,500 tons). There are one 10,000-ton dry dock and one 5,000-ton dry dock, with a dock shoreline of more than 1,500 meters and 1,712 pieces of various types of machinery and equipment.

The scale of Modu Shipyard is not comparable to that of Yangcheng Shipyard and Mawei Shipyard, but it is already a large shipyard in China.

Hudong Shipyard, formerly known as the "Laici Foreign Company" founded by British merchants, opened the Mahler Machine Shipyard in 1928 to expand its business scope. At present, the annual shipbuilding output of Hudong Shipyard has reached 400,000 tons. It also has the ability to build Type 054 frigates and Type 052 destroyers. The missile boats, torpedo boats, frigates and destroyers built here are all supplied to the East China Sea Fleet.

Jiangnan Shipyard has a long history. It is the oldest military shipbuilding enterprise in my country. As the "No. 1 Factory in China", Jiangnan Shipyard has witnessed the vicissitudes of a century and a half. Its history is strong and prosperous. It has created dozens of China's firsts and is known as the place of issuance of national industry and military industry and the cradle of industrial workers.

The business scope of Jiangnan Shipyard includes military products, ship repair and construction, ship dismantling, various electromechanical equipment, non-standard equipment, related technology and labor, pressure vessels, lifting machinery, steel structure manufacturing, metal materials, ship design, etc.

According to the plan, the three major shipyards will be moved to Chongming Island, after all, Chongming Island is more conducive to shipbuilding.

When Liu Tao came to the Magic City Shipyard, he saw a Type 054 frigate being delivered to the East China Sea Fleet.

At the delivery ceremony, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet personally attended the delivery ceremony with a smile on his face. Obviously, the commander was very happy to have an additional Type 054 frigate.

Among the three fleets, the South China Sea Fleet is currently the strongest, followed by the North China Sea Fleet, and the East China Sea Fleet is the last.

This made the East China Sea Fleet hold its breath. After all, no navy does not want to have advanced warships and strong combat effectiveness.

Now that this Type 054 frigate is in service, it only takes one year to form combat effectiveness.
