Warship of Great Power Chapter 263

  Chapter 263 80 million scrap iron and 20 million blueprints (10th update)

  Li Jinshan looked around with satisfaction.

   Ten million dollars to buy a decommissioned 40,000-ton warship really frightened these people.

  If it is disassembled and sold as scrap iron, plus the cost of labor, it will almost be on the verge of losing money. However, if it is refitted and used as the first aircraft carrier in Kimchi Country, it will definitely be worth it!

   How much does it cost to build an aircraft carrier?

  Look at the aircraft carrier that Mingzhou built for Siam.

Let's take a look at the displacement of the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which was built in 1986. It has not been launched yet. It was originally planned to invest 12 billion francs, which is more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. When the final construction was completed, a total of 712 billion dollars was spent. 100 million francs, more than 10 billion US dollars!

   Now, it is only 10 million, it is definitely worth buying this shell back.

  What about Mingzhou? Ten million, already exceeded their plan, right? Hmph, if you want to compare money, Mingzhou can't compare.

   "Twenty million dollars." At this moment, the familiar voice sounded again.

  What, twenty million? Is this an exponential increase in play? Is it a multiple relationship every time?

  Li Jinshan's complexion was ugly.

  Qin Tao had just put down the bidding sign in his hand, with a smile on his face, when Li Jinshan looked over, Qin Tao nodded politely.

   Twenty million dollars! what does that mean? Buying it back to dismantle the scrap iron would definitely cost money. If the other party called out this price, it meant that going back would definitely not dismantle the warship to sell scrap iron, but would have other uses!

   Li Jinshan swallowed and spit, what should I do, follow or not?

The shipbuilding industry in the South Kimchi country is quite developed, but this does not mean that they can build aircraft carriers alone, because they have never built them before, and they have no experience. They must first contact aircraft carriers of other countries and study them. just work.

   Now, the price of 20 million yuan has exceeded the price of scrap iron, but it is still worth it for them.

  Li Jinshan gritted his teeth and gave it a go!

"Forty million!"

   Aren't you playing multiple relationships? Then let's play for a while, 40 million US dollars, see if you still follow!

  The entire meeting room immediately exploded, 40 million, to buy a scrapped aircraft carrier, what does Dazhou Company think?

   Is it too expensive?

  Even if you buy it back and modify it to use it as an aircraft carrier, that would be too extravagant. After all, this is the foundation of a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser. If you want to transform it into an aircraft carrier, you have to spend a huge amount of money.

   Dazhou Company is really willing to spend money!

  Li Jinshan took a deep breath, and his gaze was fixed on Qin Tao. Will this guy follow up? If he quotes again, do you want to follow suit?

   While he was watching nervously, Qin Tao slowly picked up the sign in his hand, and it seemed that he was about to lift it up.

   This guy, don't you just give up?

  Li Jinshan felt a surge of air in his chest, and suddenly he picked up the sign: "Eighty million!"

  According to the inertia just now, if Qin Tao bids, he will definitely double it again, which is 80 million.

   Other people around looked at Li Jinshan with weird eyes: When we came, we prepared 50 million yuan! This is already the most outrageous number, yet you actually called out 80 million?

  Li Jinshan is still very sure, so he has to make an offer like this! Now, he was just worried about whether that Qin Tao would continue to hold up the sign and report 80.5 million, and deliberately disgusted himself.

  Qin Tao held the sign in his hand, wanted to lift it up, put it down again, hesitated three times, and finally put the sign back on the table.

   "Oh, it feels good to be rich." Qin Tao sighed.

   "Eighty million times."

   "Twice eighty million."

"Eighty million three times, congratulations to Nanjiancai Guodazhou Company for obtaining this retired warship! Please complete the payment within one hour of the end of the auction, and then His Excellency Nicholas will take you to have a look That warship."

   Eighty million!

   This definitely created a record against the sky!

  Everyone was shocked, and at the same time, some people were wondering whether the Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group really came to bid, or did they come to raise the price?

  A broken warship with a reserve price of one million yuan was finally sold for 80 million yuan. Isn't this too heaven-defying?

  However, looking at Qin Tao's dejected look, it doesn't seem like he's cheating.

  Although the bid was successful, Li Jinshan did not relax at all. He sat on the chair and panted heavily, as if he had just run a marathon.

  Yes, the bidding was indeed successful, but what next?

  He has to find a way to find another 30 million US dollars! Gotta get it all together in an hour!

   The losers left one after another, and Qin Tao walked in front of Li Jinshan in a very gentlemanly manner.

   "Mr. Li, congratulations."

   "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your mercy. If you call for 500,000 more, we will have to give up." Li Jinshan squeezed out a smile.

   Shouting more? Of course it's impossible, I just know that this is already your limit, so I won't increase the price! Qin Tao secretly smiled in his heart, and said: "You bought it back at such an expensive price, so you should be more careful when dismantling it. If necessary, I can help. It can also reduce our losses."

   Need, help, reduce losses?

  Li Jinshan suddenly understood the meaning of Qin Tao's words.

  The other party came to bid, of course they have made sufficient preparations! The other party must have obtained the blueprint of the Minsk. Now that the other party failed to bid, the blueprint is useless, so they simply sell it to their own side to make a fortune.

   No matter how much money he has, he has to buy it back. Eighty million has been spent, so is there still a fraction left?

  Qin Tao left with his own people, and when he returned to the hotel, Cong Ju asked Qin Tao curiously: "Mr. Qin, what benefits can we gain by doing this?"

  The blueprints are kept extremely confidential, even Cong Ju doesn't know, if you go this way, you just raise the bidding price, what benefits can you get?

   "There are many benefits, many, many." Qin Tao smiled: "Have you done what I ordered last time?"

   "Well, according to your instructions, we have already bought a large number of stocks of Dazhou Company in the stock market. Buy in large quantities, sell them slowly, and then buy in large quantities."

   Cong Ju couldn't understand this kind of financial matter, and he just entrusted a special agency to do it. However, it can be seen that the stock price of Dazhou Company is slowly rising, and those funds are making money.

"Well, it's a good start. Let's take a year or two to bring down Dazhou Company and save a strong competitor." Qin Tao said: "Then, now they spend 80 million to buy a warship , then only a few million will be able to fall into our hands again."

  When Qin Tao said this, he was simple and relaxed, but Cong Ju felt a chill, President Qin was too scary! A careful layout is to destroy the company that has only been contacted once!

  Seeing the fear in Cong Ju's eyes, Qin Tao smiled: "You think I'm mean?"

  Cong Ju shook his head.

"Competition is like this. We have already entered the international market, and we will face international competition. Many opponents will do everything possible to kill us, and we must find ways to make our opponents beyond redemption. That kind of The gentleman who throws white gloves at the opponent before the duel is the most stupid." Qin Tao said: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and fathers and sons can turn against each other, let alone people they don't know."

  Actually, if there is no such opportunity, then Qin Tao is too lazy to calculate. Since he has encountered it, then he will do it easily and reduce one competitor for Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group.

  Cong Ju understands a little bit, but there are still many things she doesn't understand. Of course, she doesn't have to fully understand, just look at what President Qin will do next.

   That evening.

  Li Jinshan brought Pu Douxuan and others to the hotel where Qin Tao stayed.

   "Mr. Li, your deal is complete? Have you visited that warship?" Qin Tao asked with a smile.

"Yes, we have seen it. I have seen it all over the bridge. For the first time, I realized the power of the Minsk. Although all the weapons have been removed, I can still feel the power of this warship. "Li Jinshan said: "I really hope to see it continue to gallop on the ocean."

   When he said this, he stopped, excited for a while, and talked too much.

"By the way, Mr. Qin, can you sell those things in your hand to us? Anyway, you are useless for those things. Please set the price as you like, and consider it as our compensation for you." Li Jinshan said, He took out his checkbook.

   Tell me, how much do you want, one million or two million? We can still afford this amount of money.

   "Twenty million." Qin Tao said.

  Li Jinshan's hand froze all of a sudden, and he looked at Qin Tao with surprised eyes, as if he heard something incredible.

   Twenty million? Are you kidding me?

  You only ask for 10 million for the technical output of the natural gas ship. Now, some drawings of the Minsk cost 20 million?

How can this be?

"I found the design unit of the Minsk and took a lot of their drawings. At the same time, I bought a few designers at a high price and got them the modification drawings for Ah San." Qin Tao said: " For these blueprints, I spent 15 million, and now I want 20 million from you, which is not too much."

   "Modification drawings?"

"That's right, Ah San paid 30 million US dollars in advance for the modification blueprint. The original team of the Vane Design Bureau designed the blueprint for ski jump take-off and intercepted landing. With this blueprint, you just need to directly modify it according to the blueprint. The aircraft carrier can be refitted." Qin Tao said.

  Vagnier Design Bureau, designed by the original team! With the drawings, the aircraft carrier can be transformed directly.

   So, is this much money?

  Not many!

   Ah San spent 30 million for the design, and now, Qin Tao only asks them for 20 million, is it more?

  Li Jinshan swallowed, and then asked Qin Tao: "Excuse me, can we see an overall design first?"

  There are too many detailed drawings, and they will not show them. However, it is not too much to ask to see an overall design drawing. After all, this is a big business worth 20 million US dollars, so people have to see something real.

   "Of course." Qin Tao said, and gestured to Cong Ju beside him.

  So, Cong Ju brought a notebook over, put it on the coffee table, and opened it.

   Several people leaned their heads together and looked at the design file that Qin Tao had opened. Then, a perspective view of an aircraft carrier appeared on the screen.

  The deck where Huayue takes off is so spectacular, the island on the side is still tall, and the various internal arrangements can be seen clearly.

  If you only look at one rendering, it doesn't make much sense, and an artist can draw it.

  However, this kind of perspective view is different. Every part inside can be seen clearly after zooming in. This shows that it must be improved little by little from the original design drawing.

  Bring these materials back, they can directly work according to this data!

  Thinking of this, Li Jinshan felt excited. It is definitely worth spending another 20 million for these design drawings.

   Moreover, he also has this confidence. Recently, the stock price of their Dazhou company has been rising. They can easily raise these funds through the stock market, 20 million, what a trivial matter.

"Mr. Qin, please give us a day to raise funds, and we will start trading tomorrow night." Li Jinshan said: "We are willing to pay 20 million yuan to buy all the design drawings, and it will be regarded as making up for your company's losses. "

  During the bidding, the two sides were in dire straits. However, after the bidding was over and the dust settled, a smart businessman would definitely not worry about it. The important thing is to continue to do business and make money. If you want to do big business, you have to have no morals.

   Now Qin Tao has made it clear that they want to earn five million for these design drawings, and Li Jinshan can accept it, as it is to make friends.

   "Okay." Qin Tao agreed.

  The matter was settled like this, who said Qin Tao didn't make money? Get a few broken blueprints and earn 20 million!

If Qin Tao is still trading with Ah San, it would be immoral for Qin Tao to do so. However, the Pacific Fleet has already been cheated by the Northern Fleet. How could Nikolay care about this kind of thing? Nicholas didn't say anything, after all, Qin Tao helped them raise the price, and sold a warship that could only sell scrap iron for five million US dollars to a high price of 80 million. Moreover, Moscow also promised that these All the money is reserved for the Pacific Fleet to improve their conditions, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the Northern Fleet's business grabbing.

  Nicolas should be grateful to Qin Tao.

   Sure enough, Zaitsev came over not long after the Kimchi people left and took Qin Tao to the headquarters.

"Qin, thank you so much today." Nicholas said with excitement on his face, "We sold that scrap iron ship for 80 million, 80 million! With this fund, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. "

  During the auction during the day, Nicholas was still able to hold on, not to be surprised by favor or humiliation, and had to play deeply. Now, Nicholas couldn't restrain his inner ecstasy at all.

  Even if a business is established with Ah San, many people need to divide up a billion-dollar meal. If it falls to their Pacific Fleet, 100 million is not bad.

What now?

   Ah San paid 30 million in advance at the beginning, plus the 80 million sold now, it is over 100 million, worth, absolute value!

   "Well, Nicola, congratulations."

   "Qin, we can't let you do it for nothing. After the funds flow, we will give you three million as a reward." Nicholas said to Qin Tao.

  Qin Tao smiled and shook his head: "No, I didn't do anything, I just talked about it. We are friends, and we always withdraw money, so we will see each other. By the way, have you received the full amount?"

  Nicolas nodded: "Of course, this fund has already entered the account of our Pacific Fleet!"

"Well, it's better to be safer." Qin Tao said: "In terms of power system, aren't there still a few boilers left? Even if you can only drive one propeller, you can move forward slowly. After entering the Dazhou Shipyard, Then let them take over, lest they change their minds midway."

  Actually, once the money has entered the account of the Pacific Fleet, it cannot be recovered. Even if people from Dazhou Company want to repent, it is useless. After all, when the auction was held, Nicholas made it clear that it is a shell, and it does not make sense whether the boiler is broken or not.

  However, Dazhou Company still has 20 million design fees! Qin Tao has to guarantee that he can receive the money. If he reveals his secrets too early, Li Jinshan will find out that it is a scam.

   "That's natural. They are not familiar with this warship. We are obliged to send the warship back to them, and deliver it to their door." Nicholas agreed very much.

   "By the way, Qin, is there any rags in our fleet that you like?" Nicholas is also a real person. After receiving so many benefits from Qin Tao, Qin Tao must get some good things back!

   "It's broken, I did see a batch, such as the decommissioned supply ship."

   "No problem, you guys drag it away."

   "By the way, I see that the fleet's aviation base seems to have eliminated a batch of large MiG-25s?"

  Large MiG-25?

  Nicolas immediately realized that Qin Tao was talking about the batch of Tu-22M2 bombers?

When Qin Tao came to do business with Nikolai, he visited the naval aviation base and saw those planes. He thought they were MiG-25s made of stainless steel. Zubayev, the person in charge of the base, introduced them to Qin Tao. Tu-22M, however, Qin Tao still used the name of the large MiG-25.

  What does Qin Tao want to do?

   To Lao Maozi, the supersonic bomber Tu-22M belongs to advanced weapons and equipment. After all, this is a big killer tailor-made by Lao Maozi specially for the US aircraft carrier formation.

   Now, Qin Tao wants this kind of thing?

  Even if Nicholas is high and powerful, he still has to weigh it.

"Those planes are all made of aluminum alloy. If we get them back, we can get a lot of aluminum alloy. We produce natural gas ships, and we have to use aluminum alloy to make tanks. The domestic production of aluminum alloy is not high, and there is not enough for it." Qin Tao said.

  "Aluminum alloy?" What did Nicholas think of: "In our Pacific Fleet, all the cannibals have been eliminated. If you want aluminum alloy, you can get this aircraft back for you, and the scrap iron price will do."

   "Cannibals?" Qin Tao was a little confused.

   "It is the prototype of Tu-22M, Tu-22." Nikolay explained: "In terms of size, they are similar."

   "Oh." Qin Tao could only give up.

   Tu-22 is a chicken rib made by the Tupolev Design Bureau at the beginning, and it is completely a product to meet the requirements of the army.

  In order to achieve high-speed flight, the cross-sectional area of ​​the fuselage of this aircraft is small, the cockpit is narrow, and the vision is poor, which seriously affects the flight. The landing gear is also not good. When taking off and entering high-speed taxiing, the landing gear often shakes.

  The engines are mounted on either side of the root of the vertical tail, which makes the aircraft difficult to control. In a small plane, three people sat in: the captain, the navigator, and the weapon system controller. Only one person was driving, and the pressure was very high, which led to the accident.

The Tu-22, which was in service in 1962, was completely retired in 1992. In 30 years, more than 70 aircraft crashed. You must know that its total output is less than 300 aircraft. This ratio can almost catch up with Ah. Three.

  So, Tu-22's cannibal nickname came like this.

   Not only the Tu-22, but even the Tu-22M has begun to gradually retire.

There are three Tu-22M aviation regiments in the Pacific Fleet. Among them, the 183rd regiment is stationed in Vladivostok, and all of them were retired this year. The 570th regiment will retire in 1994, and only the 568th regiment will remain. At that time, I replaced the Tu-22M2 equipped with Tu-22M3 with Tu-22M3, becoming the only long-range air strike force of the Pacific Fleet.

  The decommissioned Tu-22M that Qin Tao saw were the equipment of the 183rd Regiment.

  Nicolas still has some concerns about selling these Tu-22M2s, but Qin Tao is not discouraged, because the people under him are much more greedy than him.

the next day.

   Accompanied by Zaitsev, Qin Tao came to the aviation base inside the fleet base. On the side near the hillside, all the decommissioned aircraft are stored.

   Tu-22 bombers are docked in rows and rows. These beasts that once dominated the sky are now quietly waiting for the end of their fate.

   "Zaytsev, we need an excavator, replace it with special hydraulic shears, and cut these aircraft into parts for easy shipment and transportation."

   "Okay, I'll coordinate." Zaitsev left.

   "Qin, you are the great benefactor of our Pacific Fleet." Zubayev accompanied Qin Tao, and said with emotion as he walked: "Our wages owed have all been paid, and the payment is still in US dollars."

Rubles are worthless. If you send them out today, you can still buy two bottles of vodka. Tomorrow, you may only be able to buy one bottle, and the day after tomorrow, you may only be able to buy a bottle cap. Therefore, their domestic dollars have also secretly circulated. After all The dollar is strong.

  After the sale of the Minsk, the funds of the Pacific Fleet have also become abundant, and they simply use US dollars to pay their salaries directly, so as to avoid being worried about by Moscow.

  Nicola's move won the goodwill of everyone in the fleet, and the senior management in the fleet was even more grateful to Qin Tao. They knew that without Qin Tao, the scrap metal would not be sold at a sky-high price.

   "These are what I should do." Qin Tao said: "We are friends, and of course we should help if we can. Moreover, the company in the South Kimchi Country spends the money."

   After Qin Tao finished speaking, he frowned.

   "Qin, do you have any problems?"

   "There are not enough scrap irons! There are too few. Can you get me two of the scrap irons over there?"

   Qin Tao said, pointing to those large MiG-25s.

   PS: In the early hours of tomorrow, there will be surprises.
