Chapter 1073 Game within a game

With these requirements, Lao Maozi can only experience the flight of the aircraft, but cannot learn the secrets of the aircraft. Naturally, there is no need to rent it. After all, their main purpose of leasing it was to take the aircraft apart, study it, and then try to imitate it. Qin Tao could tell what their motive was at a glance.

"Okay, I will convey your request to the boss. If they don't accept it, then I will arrange for you to go back." Nicholas said: "I still have this power."

Although with the current relationship, it is said that there will be no such thing as the plane being detained, but there are exceptions to everything. Nicholas must be careful, who knows if someone will have other ideas, and he does not want Qin Tao to suffer here. Grievance, that was Nikolai's dereliction of duty.

“No one should do anything. After all, your two amphibious assault ships are still on our slipway.” Qin Tao said.

Nicholas nodded: "Yes, if they dare to seize this plane, they will seize the amphibious assault ship. I have no problem with it." Nicholas said.

 He must never be sorry to his friends, and he is a true friend.

Even if this matter was finished, Nicholas continued to talk about the second matter.

"Qin, our No. 35 Ship Repair Yard wants to merge their two dry docks to form a large dock so that they can repair the Navy's aircraft carriers. I think our cooperation with Dongfang may be ruined."

 “Merging the dry dock?” Qin Tao’s mind instantly flashed a picture of future generations.

The old aircraft carrier Kuznetsov sailed into a dock. The dock did not even have a dock door. After the Kuznetsov entered, a **** was built directly behind it, and Kuznetsov was The number circle goes in, and then the water is pumped.

 After the sea water is drained, you can see the mud under the belly of the aircraft carrier. The dock has not even done any hardening work! The Kuznetsov repeated the experience of its brothers: undergoing repairs and modifications in the mud. The old man really dared to do anything. There was not even a support in the mud. This precious aircraft carrier may roll over at any time.

However, this is still a good thing. After all, the Kuznetsov has officially started repairs. Before this, Lao Maozi still did a lot of tricks. It took three and a half years to repair such a muddy shipyard. Two contractors were also changed during the construction.

 The 20 billion rubles needed for construction came from loans, but how much of it was spent on the dock? I'm afraid not even 2 billion rubles! Most of the money goes into the pockets of some people who just need a project and take the opportunity to make money.

What now?

 The 35th Ship Repair Yard is embarking on this path.

"Qin, do you have any suggestions?" Nicholas looked at Qin Tao seriously: "If you have any ideas..."

"Our Mingzhou Group has never lacked business. We simply don't care about the cost of repairing your warships." Qin Tao said, "The reason why we took over your business is because of our relationship. Whether it is the construction of the 22350 frigate, the maintenance of the Type 1144 cruiser, or the two amphibious assault ships now, I just want to help you, and now that you have your own ideas, I am happy to be free."

Qin Tao really doesn't like this kind of project. If he goes back ten years, he will definitely come to bid for the maintenance of the Kuznetsov, even if it is the maintenance of four Kiev-class cruisers, but Now, it's no longer interesting. A 100,000-ton aircraft carrier is on the slipway of our Mingzhou Group. Do we still care about this small business? The Kuznetsov has long ceased to be a big fun toy.

"Yes, I know what you are thinking, but it is not easy for everyone in the country to realize this." Nicholas said: "Qin, do you have anything to remind us?"

Nicholas was always worried about this matter. He always felt that something else was going to happen.

"Nicholas, since we are old friends, let me briefly explain my speculation. This is my personal speculation and is not accurate."

 “Okay, I’ll listen.”

"It doesn't cost much to repair a dock. If our Mingzhou Group's infrastructure company does it, the entire expansion project will cost up to 50 million U.S. dollars and only take three months. But that's not necessarily the case here. When you are doing infrastructure construction, you have been procrastinating, and it will probably take several years. Of course, time is not the most important thing, the important thing is the contractor."

"If they want to make money from this, there is a very simple way, that is to register a handbag company and directly get the expansion project. After the bank loan is received, their handbag company will directly declare bankruptcy. In this way He openly ate the bank loan into his own belly." Qin Tao said: "At least half of the construction cost of 20 billion rubles can be eaten up. If it is more, it may be 90%."

“They have spent all the funds, so how can we repair the aircraft carrier of our navy?”

"This is not what they think about. They first consider making money and filling their own pockets." Qin Tao said: "In the future, the worst case scenario is that they will leave Da Mao and go to Europe to live happily."

“No, we absolutely cannot let them do this!” Nicholas clenched his fists. The aircraft carrier belongs to their navy!

At that time, the aircraft carrier had its belly cut open at the dock, and the boiler was taken out. After losing power, it was completely unable to move. This was the meat of their 35th ship repair yard. If their shipyard did not build it, they would definitely turn to the Navy. Come to ask for money! Will come again and again to ask for money!

It’s okay if it’s Asan’s aircraft carrier, but if our own aircraft carrier is so cheating, that would be too much.

"We will talk about other items next, such as boilers and blocking cables. These need to be replaced during repairs. However, there is currently no relevant supporting factory in your country, and we have not received an order from the 35th Ship Repair Yard. The order is likely to be placed with the relevant departments in your country."

 Domestic ordering? What a joke, the domestic factories that produce these equipment have long since disappeared, the design drawings are nowhere to be found, and the skilled workers have long since disappeared. There is no way to produce qualified boilers in China, let alone a blocking system!

Although the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is less than 20 years old, the aircraft carrier has already had various problems, such as its boiler. Once there was no fresh water when it went to sea, the sailors filled it with sea water. , then there will be problems. In fact, Lao Maozi's aircraft carriers, starting from the Kiev class, have always had boiler problems.

This time they plan to completely solve this problem and replace all the booster boilers. The best way is to purchase them from the East, but if some people want to line their own pockets, they will give the order for the boilers to a domestic factory. , by then, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier will not even have a boiler, and will be completely dormant!

Since it is a ski jump takeoff, there is no need to adjust the takeoff part, but the landing arresting system also needs to be replaced. This includes not only the arresting cables above, but also the complex devices below the deck, such as the pulley buffer system and the fixed-length dash control system. , hydraulic oil cooling system, etc.

Although Lao Maozi already had relevant technical reserves in the Red Empire era, they have been completely lost now. The best option is to purchase them from the East. Even if you want to pursue high-end, you can also purchase the electromagnetic arresting cable system from the East. of.

The Mao Navy is also very satisfied with the four-sided phased array radar produced by Dongfang. It also plans to replace it this time. It is even better to replace it with a four-sided large shield if possible. Anyway, Dongfang has decided to export this system.

But now, as the project is handed over to the domestic ship repair yard, all these illusions are about to be shattered. Nicholas clenched his fists and his face became increasingly gloomy.

 No, they must not be allowed to succeed. The maintenance of the Kuznetsov must be left to the East!

"Nicholas, my friend, I understand your situation. In this case, you must not be impulsive." Qin Tao said: "Rather than letting others benefit, it is better to do it yourself."

Nicholas' eyes suddenly lit up, this is really a solution that has the best of both worlds!

 “Thank you, Qin, I have to go.”

 “Nicholas, are you leaving so soon?”

"Well, I have already thought of a countermeasure." Nicholas said: "Huh, the navy's money is not that easy to make! Don't worry, this business is still yours in the end. Huh, I don't trust these people in the country at all. , they will do nothing but line their own pockets!"

"Is your strategy complete? Do you want me to help you with your advice?"

 Under the same night, in a private room at Caesars Bar in Moscow.

"Come and drink to our victory!" Yuri raised the wine glass in his hand and said to the two people opposite.

 One of them is Rachmanov, the head of the 35th ship repair yard, and the other is Kirilenko, the head of JSC Company.

"Yes, cheers to our success!" Kirilenko raised his glass: "I have made all preparations. When the bank allocation arrives, the money will be divided into three parts and all will be deposited in It’s in a Swiss bank account. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time.”

"It's not necessary for the time being. After all, the maintenance cost of the aircraft carrier is still 40 billion rubles." Yuri said: "Rachmanov, you should know what to do, right?"

"Of course I know." Rachmanov said: "Our shipyard is about to reach the Arctic Circle. Half of the year is the polar night and the weather is cold. There is no way to work. The delay in progress is not our fault, we need more funds to complete the aircraft carrier's modification."

"If the higher ups don't agree, then set fire to it." Yuri said: "In this way, we have to continue to increase funds, otherwise we will not be able to complete the corresponding modifications. The Navy only has one aircraft carrier like this, and they will definitely accept it with gritted teeth. Our price increase requires it." "Yes, although the current price is 40 billion, without more than 100 billion rubles, this aircraft carrier cannot complete the transformation! Come, let's drink to a better life!"

The three people were very happy, as if a mountain of gold and silver appeared before their eyes.

After the party ended, the three of them wandered out of the bar and went to drive in the parking lot. Although Lao Maozi's law also prohibited drunk driving, for them, the law restricted ordinary people, not them.

Kirilenko got into a Haval H5, which is a very popular car in Damao recently. It is durable and has a diesel engine. The main point is that it is produced in their country. This car quickly outperformed all imported cars. Looking for teeth everywhere.

 He turned the key and started the engine. Amidst the sound of the diesel engine, he left the parking lot and merged into the traffic flow.

At the intersection ahead, it was time to turn right. Just as he was turning the steering wheel, there was a sudden bang on the right side. He suddenly became agitated and woke up from all the wine he had just drank. He stopped the car and turned from the passenger side. The driver easily pulled out a baseball bat.

 Damn it, you dare to come here to try your luck, are you tired of living?

 However, when he turned around, he saw a smooth-looking luxury car with a shining three-pronged logo on the front.

 The origin of this car is not simple? Kirilenko looked at the tall bodyguard who got out of the car and was instantly discouraged.

"Boy, what do you want to do?" The other party didn't take anything, but just moved his wrist, and the joints crackled.

"it's okay no problem."

Kirilenko looked at the bulge in the opponent's waist. There was probably a pistol stuck there. He couldn't afford to offend him. Otherwise, biubiu, he would be dead.

 “How do you plan to solve this matter?”

"I, I, I will compensate, I will compensate." How could Kirilenko dare to be harsh? The water here in Moscow is very deep. If he continues to refuse to give in, there will probably be another dead body in the Moskva River outside the city next year.

"No need." At this moment, the person in the back seat opened the window: "It seems that he has been drinking, and the insurance cannot reimburse him. It's not a big deal anyway, so let him go."

 Let yourself go like this? Kirilenko was very surprised and looked at the other person again. The more he looked at him, the more familiar he became. Isn't this the most famous investor in Moscow, Karasov?

This man is very talented. Every time he sees a certain stock, the stock will skyrocket. Anyone who listens to his lectures and buys with him is right. In addition to stocks, there are also futures and other investment activities. He They all showed amazing strength, and some even compared him to Warren Buffett in his own country!

Now, I actually met this person?

Kirilenko suddenly had a thought in his mind and said quickly: "No, this is not okay. I'll pay for it. Can I talk to you?"

"come in."

So, Kirilenko got into the luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-Class limousine.

“Are you Mr. Karashov? I often see you in newspapers and on TV. You are a well-known investment expert in the country.”

 “Just so so,” Karasov said.

“I don’t know which stock will rise recently. What do you think?”

They were talking about getting in the car to discuss compensation, but Kirilenko directly asked about the stocks.

“Recently?” Karashov glanced at the Harvard H5 that caused the accident next to him and said, “Your car still burns oil, right?”

"Uh-huh."

“Do you know what the most popular cars are these days?”

 Popular recently? What did Kirilenko think of: "Electric cars?"

In a place like Damao where it is not warm all year round for a few months, electric cars are absolutely useless. Just like a certain mobile phone, it is fully charged indoors, but when it is taken outdoors, it instantly alarms and then shuts down due to lack of power. .

Although electric cars are not practical, it does not mean that they are not popular. After all, they are the world’s most advanced new energy and environmentally friendly vehicles!

 Now, what is the purpose of the other party suddenly saying this?

“Is it buying electric car stocks?” Kirilenko asked.

Karashov shook his head: "No, no, we don't have electric car companies in China yet. There are a few in Europe, but they are not large. However, electric cars have emerged, but the raw materials for manufacturing electric cars are limited. Among them The most important thing is lithium. Now, battery companies around the world are competing for this resource. Do you know how much the price of lithium ore has increased recently?"

Kirilenko suddenly felt excited: "You mean, you can buy shares of the mining group?"

“That’s right, in the Far East, a rare metals joint group has just been established. This group is about to go public. If you can grab their stocks in the early stage of listing, the stock should double within a month.”

 Doubled, one month!

Kirilenko immediately thought of the 20 billion rubles loan. After the money was loaned out, it would first be placed in the accounts of their JSC company, and he would be responsible for transferring it out in batches. Now there is such a good If he has the opportunity, first invest this money in the stock market and buy the shares of this group. After one month, the shares will double. By then, he will be able to earn 20 billion rubles!

“Mr. Karashov, I can raise a sum of funds on hand. When the time comes, can you help me operate it?” Kirilenko asked.

“You can just buy it in the market by yourself. As long as you have a computer, you don’t need my help.” Karasov said: “However, I suggest you increase the leverage several times so that you can earn more. This is a rare opportunity.”

 Kirilenko got out of the car and watched the Mercedes-Benz S-Class leave, his heart filled with passion.

 The opportunity to make money is here!

 It is the most difficult to earn a small goal first. Once you have this small goal, it will be easier to earn the second small goal.

Since he already has 20 billion rubles, of course he must use these 20 billion rubles to continue making money!

the next day.

Nicholas met the boss again and reported President Qin’s decision to him.

"Why is the rental price so expensive? You and he are good friends, can't you let him make it cheaper?"

“This is what Mr. Qin agreed to because of the friendship. Otherwise, he would not have rented it to us at all.”

"Forget it, we don't have those funds, the deposit is 200 million, and it has to be paid in cash. We don't need to spend this kind of money." The boss waved his hand: "Now, the most important project is to repair the aircraft carrier. For domestic Repair, what do you think?”
