Chapter 137 Foreshadowing

 Qin Tao is not asking for any dollars at all, but is giving a reminder to the other party.

Vinogradov understood immediately.

The ruble used to be very strong. For a long time, the ruble and the U.S. dollar maintained an exchange rate of about one to one. (Approximate value, inaccurate, and this exchange rate is officially stipulated. Private exchange rates fluctuate greatly) However, after the map came to power and some reforms were carried out, the ruble began to depreciate.

For ordinary old people, the depreciation of the ruble does not seem to mean much to them. However, a lot of food in the Red Empire has to be imported from abroad. If the ruble depreciates, their purchasing power will also drop significantly, so domestic items will be more expensive. lack of.

 For bankers, it is even more troublesome. They have a large inventory of rubles. If they depreciate, it means that their operations will deteriorate.

Qin Tao remembers clearly that in just a few months, the ruble will continue to depreciate, and it will depreciate three times like a plunge. Therefore, if the bankers in front of them want to avoid risks, they must make arrangements in advance and do something. Hands and feet.

“However, our country is implementing foreign exchange controls, and it is not easy for us private banks to obtain foreign exchange.” Vinogradov said.

 The man in front of him is really discerning, so Vinogradov is willing to communicate with him.

Qin Tao had a relaxed smile on his face: "Well, this requires special operations from you. For example..."

Vinogradov opened his eyes wide, waiting for the oriental man in front of him to speak.

 Qin Tao paused deliberately, so as to better attract the other party's attention and leave a stronger impression on the other party's mind.

"Now, many factories in the Soviet Union are in recession. Aren't you carrying out reforms in your country? Now that there are private banks, banks can of course acquire some poorly managed factories." Qin Tao said: "You use rubles to After acquiring these factories and selling them internationally, the buyers will definitely pay US dollars!”

Vinogradov frowned: "But there is no such precedent in our country!"

Large-scale acquisitions by foreign capital happened after the collapse of the Red Empire. Moreover, the acquisitions were not real acquisitions, but just pre-evaluations. This factory was worth 100 million, that factory was worth 200 million, etc. Lao Maozi put the evaluation The price was converted into exchange coupons and distributed equally to everyone. On the surface, everyone shared the country's wealth, which was very fair.

 When it was time to exchange, the foreigners stopped working. The original assessment was wrong. This factory is not worth 100 million, not even 10 million, at most 5 million!

 As a result, the exchange coupons in the hands of ordinary people became waste paper. Those factories also fell into the hands of certain people cheaply.

This one-handed operation is a waste of time, and it’s really beautiful to play.

 Now, what Qin Tao is talking about is a modified version of this set.

 However, because it is still early, this process may not be able to proceed.

"Yes, there is no precedent, but aren't you guys engaged in reform? What is reform? It is taking a road that has not been traveled in the past. You can be the first!" Qin Tao asked Wei Nogradov said: "Think about it, if you go to acquire so many companies that are not operating well, shouldn't the government support you? You are a banker, not a philanthropist. After you acquire it, you have to sell it to make money, right? Otherwise , won’t your bank have to go bankrupt?”

Vinogradov swallowed his saliva. After pouring it, the oil and water inside was obviously very rich. He finally nodded: "Qin, your plan is very far-sighted. I can try it."

 In the eyes of these people, there is only profit. After the collapse of the Red Empire, they stood on the ruins of the empire and became the so-called oligarchs with their mouths full of oil.

"You must accept this money and treat it as our consulting fees." Vinogradov continued to say to Qin Tao.

Looking at the money inside, Qin Tao shook his head: "Mr. Novigradov, by doing this, do you stop treating me as a friend?"

"of course not."

“Do I still need to pay for chatting with friends?” Qin Tao said, “I have no other hobbies, I just like to make friends. Forget it.”

Novigradov nodded: "Okay, I have a collection of things at home. When you go to Moscow, be sure to come to my house as a guest and pick out a few things you like to take away. It is normal for friends to give away some collections. ?”

 “Thank you, I’m welcome.” Qin Tao said.

In addition to being a famous banker, Vinogradov also has a special hobby, which is collecting. In the future, Qin Tao will just go in and find a few calligraphy and paintings, such as the famous paintings of Malevich, the founder of Russian suprematist art, "White" The black square on the bottom is very good.

Anyway, after this guy encounters a financial crisis, he will have nothing, and these famous paintings will be sold at low prices, so he might as well give them to himself as a favor.

 Qin Tao was vacationing leisurely on the beach in Crimea, but in China, scientific research institutions one after another were already nervously taking action.

 Bingcheng, 703 schools.

 In the past few years, in order to develop the domestic shipbuilding industry and enter the international market, all domestic shipyards have been united together to form China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.

The 703 institute in Bingcheng is among them. It also has a more popular name, called Bingcheng Ship Boiler and Turbine Research Institute.

 This institute was originally engaged in the research of steam turbines. From domestic destroyers to steam generators for domestic nuclear submarines, they are all independently developed by this research institute.

At this time, director Zhang Jianguo looked at the researchers in front of him excitedly, and said with excitement in his voice: "Everyone, our comrades working on the secret front have brought us back a large amount of technical data on gas turbine research. We now have a difficult battle waiting for us, which is to sort out these technical materials and clarify the design ideas and technical principles!"

 “Gas turbine? That’s great!” The technician immediately became excited.

“Yes, since the Navy used gas turbines imported from the United States, it has looked down on our boilers. Now, we must also understand the technology of gas turbines and develop our own gas turbines!”

 Some people also have some doubts.

“Director Zhang, isn’t the aviation industry department responsible for gas turbines?”

Over the past ten years in China, we have been in contact with the outside world and learned about foreign industrial development. Things like gas turbines are generally improved from aircraft engines. Therefore, it is said that the relevant departments of the aviation industry are responsible for this information. Yes.

Zhang Jianguo glanced at the technician: "What does it mean that the aviation industry department is responsible? Lao Maozi's place is a specially established organization. This organization used to deal with steam turbines. If they can do this, of course we can too!"

Zhang Jianguo looked at everyone: "To tell you the truth, I fought for this mission. After hearing about it, the aero-engine departments in the country were all scrambling to get it. However, in the end, it fell to us. In my hands! When I get the information, don’t let me down, use all your strength, you have to file the information for me and extract all the technology in it!"

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" At this time, everyone was still unconscious and didn't know what the information was. It was only after they got the information that they suddenly realized it.

 No wonder those brother units started to scramble for it, but later stopped asking for it, because these were all scratch papers for calculations!

 The mountains of manuscript paper are difficult to classify, let alone extract the techniques.

However, they have no choice.

Those who are engaged in aero-engines and gas turbines are just convenient. Even if they don't have them, they can still live a comfortable life. However, they are engaged in steam turbines, and this thing is already outdated. If they can't fully understand the gas turbine technology, Then they will no longer be able to provide supporting equipment for the navy in the future. They are fighting with their last resort and they have no choice!

After the data arrived, they threw themselves into intense work and worked for several years. When Lao Maozi's experts came over, they were extremely emotional when they saw the well-organized data.

 Mainland, 713.

Xia Bei's tone was trembling: "Qin Gong is really awesome. He did what he said, and he actually got us the vertical launch system of the missile! Launching missiles is the same as firing cannons, which is also our mission." !”

After hearing what he said, the director was a little curious: "Gong Xia, where did this sample come from? It is extremely confidential. How can you be so sure that it was Gong Qin who moved it?"

“Director, think about it, some time ago, did the superiors organize a group of people to inspect Lao Maozi’s place, and then the people from the air force came back first, and the people from the navy came back later?”

The director nodded.

“Then, we got the news. It was obviously Qin Gong who went out with the navy to get it. He can get close-range anti-rapid fire cannons and anti-aircraft missile vertical launchers.”

“How do you know that the close-range rapid-fire cannon was obtained by Qin Gong?”

 “Well, I guessed it.”

It was really Xia Bei's guess. After all, these things were confidential. However, when Qin Tao came over last time to help them solve the problem, he knew that Qin Tao was very familiar with this kind of AK630 naval gun, so he must It was Qin Tao who got it.

Last time, Qin Tao said that he would help them develop a vertical launch system. Now that the sample has been obtained, it goes without saying that it must have been done by Qin Gong!

"Be careful to keep confidentiality. Don't tell anyone about your speculations." The director said, "Don't cause trouble for Qin Gong."

"That's for sure." Xia Bei said, "When will the samples come back?"

 “The cargo ship will be delivered to the dock in Mingzhou.”

“Then I will take people to Mingzhou to pick up the ship.” Xia Bei said.

  Various scientific research institutions in the country are looking forward to the return of cargo ships. At the same time, the navy's procurement department has also begun to quickly mobilize. They purchase a large amount of various daily necessities, and even caused the price of toilet paper to increase in one place. Because there were not enough dog fur coats, dog thieves were rampant in the countryside.

 Mingzhou Iron and Steel Works.

 Liu Minggang's face was filled with red.

“Director Qin, come and drink! Without Taozi, there would be no development and growth of our Mingzhou Steel Plant! I, Liu Minggang, thank you!”

 Liu Minggang had drunk too much.

Qin Baoshan looked at Liu Minggang: "When Taozi comes back, you can just thank him in person. Why are you thanking me?"

"Taozi is your seed. Without you, where would Taozi come from? Without Taozi, where would our steel plant be today?" Liu Minggang said: "This time, we got more than two thousand tons of scrap iron for us. , let Taozi rest assured that we will definitely sort these scrap iron and recycle them separately. We have the most experience in recycling Lao Maozi's ship steel."

The entire exchange project was promoted by Qin Tao, so even if some people in the navy were greedy, they couldn't do it. They could only follow Qin Tao's wishes and hand over the scrap steel to Mingzhou Shipyard.

Moreover, Mingzhou Shipyard is the most experienced.

The navy notified the Mingzhou Shipyard, and Qin Baoshan stopped by to inform Liu Minggang, so Liu Minggang stayed to drink.

“I know, Tao Zi is of course very relieved about you, otherwise he wouldn’t have entrusted you with this task.” Qin Baoshan said, “However, you should drink less. Drinking too much will cause trouble.”

“We are happy, come on, keep drinking!” Liu Minggang continued to raise his glass.

 Mingzhou Shipyard.

“Sister Cong Ju, when will Brother Tao and the others come back? I’m on summer vacation and I still haven’t seen Brother Tao!” Nie Shiyu pouted and asked Cong Ju.

"I don't know. They must be doing something big." Cong Ju said, "Shiyu, you'd better study more. It's the third year of junior high school soon. You must be admitted to Mingzhou No. 1 Middle School. I can't let you down, brother Tao." The expectation.”

“I know, I know, Sister Cong Ju.” Nie Shiyu said as she turned away.

Cong Ju watched Nie Shiyu's back disappear, then turned her head and looked at the dock.

The second catamaran missile boat has almost been built. The first two batches are almost ready. What about the second batch?

The Navy has begun testing the first missile boat. It is very satisfied with this missile boat. It is estimated that it will be built in large quantities in the future. Cong Ju looked at the catamaran missile boat. The next contract will have to be decided by Qin Tao and the Navy. Negotiate.

It is said that several other shipyards are also jealous and want to share the orders for these missile boats. However, Qin Tao will definitely be competed for by the shipyards.

Over there, a huge dredger is about to be built, the dredging equipment has been installed, and sea trials are about to begin.

 When will Qin Tao come back?

 Everyone is looking forward to Qin Tao's return!

“Sneeze!” Qin Tao, who was sunbathing with Zhao Ling at the beach, sneezed.

 “What’s wrong?” Zhao Ling was very concerned.

 “I don’t know, maybe someone is thinking about me.”

 “Who?” Zhao Ling was very concerned about this topic.

"Old man, my mother, Shi Yu, Sister Cong Ju, and the people at the shipyard, they all miss me, right?" Qin Tao said, pulling Zhao Ling into his arms: "However, with you by my side, I It’s very satisfying.”

 The sound of footsteps sounded from behind.
