Chapter 195 Despicable means

When Zhao Ling and Gianna swam to the fifth lap, Rakul finally came back, with excitement on his face.

“Qin, the Navy unanimously believes that your design is the most reasonable and the most appropriate price, and the potential for future upgrades and modifications is also large enough, so…”

　　When Rakul said this, he saw a trace of worry flash across Qin Tao's face, and he immediately became curious: "Qin, shouldn't you be happy?"

"I'm very worried." Qin Tao said: "During the bidding in the morning, the Spanish drawings were almost the same as ours. In order to win this bidding, I'm afraid they will do anything they can. Now, although we We have the upper hand, but the other side will still use various methods to throw dirty water on us. I don’t know why, but I always have an ominous premonition in my heart.”

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Rakul also pondered for a moment. Yes, what Qin Tao said makes sense. Since the other party can steal the drawings and then throw dirty water on Qin Tao and others to try to get the order, Well, now that the orders are about to fly, the other party will definitely come up with other ways to cause trouble.

what to do?

　　Rakul rolled his eyes, and then picked up the phone.

“Immediately dispatch a group of people to keep an eye on the people in Bazin Company. If there is any situation, report it immediately. Yes, we must also monitor their phone calls.”

“Dear, we’ve had enough swimming, do you want to go get something to eat?” Zhao Ling came up and looked at Qin Tao with a smile.

“Okay, let’s go back and change clothes first, Mr. Rakul. We’ll meet in the restaurant in twenty minutes.”

 “Okay.” Rakul nodded.

After hearing this, Rakul, who was pregnant, took Gianna back to the room. Twenty minutes was enough for him and Gianna to have **** once. However, as soon as he closed the door and before they entered the foreplay, his phone rang. Ringed.

"What?" When he picked up the phone, Rakul's expression immediately changed.

"They called AFP to expose the shady story of our bidding? Damn it, there is no shady story. It is obvious that their plan is not suitable!" Lakour said: "Did you cut off the phone?"

This is an international long-distance call after all, so they still have many options.

　　I was relieved when I heard that the international long distance calls had been cut off since the beginning of the revelation, and the person responsible for monitoring responded.

LaCour stomped back and forth in the room. How could it be possible? How could the other party know that Zhao Ling bought a lot of things for Gianna? Send someone to follow? still…

Thinking of this, Rakul looked at Gianna's handbag, then quickly rushed over, opened the zipper of the handbag, and poured out all the contents.

 Hurrah, hurrah!

Gianna looked at Rakul's movements at a loss. Was he looking for a condom? Are you so anxious?

 However, when Rakul picked up one of the buttons, he asked Gianna: "Is this button yours?"

Jaina shook her head.

“Damn it!” Rakul picked up the nail clippers inside and clamped the button. With a click, the button broke, revealing the wiring inside.

 This is actually a bug!

Who released it?

 The answer is already out!

After destroying the bug, LaCour picked up the phone and quickly dialed a number.

"Your Excellency Naris, Bazin Company used many disgraceful methods in this bidding. They set up bugs around me. They also know something about you. I hope you can find out. Look around for bugs, yes, damn, they want to get this to AFP!"

"Yes, yes, this approach has seriously damaged our bidding order. I suggest that they be deported as spies immediately. We will never do business with them in the future!"

No one likes that during a bidding process, the bidding party tries to obtain useful information through such conspiracy methods. When the bidding is about to fail, it even tries to slander the bidding party and the bidding party. Throw dirty water.

This method is too despicable and shameless!

After the military boss Nares heard this, he was completely furious. He actually dared to throw dirty water on himself and said that he had received a favor fee?

 We must use thunder to drive them away!

 Qin Tao and Zhao Ling were sitting in the restaurant, waiting for Rakul and Gianna.

Qin Tao looked at his watch for the third time. He agreed on twenty minutes, but half an hour had passed.

“It seems that the durability of Lakul has increased.” Qin Tao sighed with emotion.

 “Persistence?”

"That's right." Qin Tao clapped his palms: "Pah, pah, pah!"

Zhao Ling suddenly realized something and her face turned red: "You, why do you always have so many bad things in your mind?"

 “Men are not bad, but women don’t love them.” Qin Tao said.

Zhao Ling rolled her eyes at Qin Tao.

 At this moment, Jaina walked over alone.

"Qin, Zhao, I'm sorry, he has something to do and can't come over."

“Oh, what do you want to eat? After eating, let Xiaoling go shopping with you?”

"No, I have to stay here and can't go anywhere."

Zhao Ling was a little suspicious.

That night, a shocking news was played on the hotel TV.

"During the bidding process for our country's aircraft carrier, personnel from a certain company used many shady means to obtain the order. They plagiarized the design plans of other bidders, and even tried to slander the fairness of the entire bidding process. In view of this situation, our country It has been decided to expel the company’s bidders from the country and will no longer accept any bids from the company in the future!”

Qin Tao and Zhao Ling couldn't understand this gibbering Siamese. However, Zheng Ming and Liu Dawei were also sitting next to them. Zheng Ming translated it, and Zhao Ling looked surprised.

 “They really plagiarized our design plan, it’s too much!”

Yang Dawei glanced at Zhao Ling funny, "Why, you still can't tell, who is in charge of everything?"

Yang Dawei thought of the scene in the daytime when Zheng Ming poked his vocal cords with a pen and made a call at a phone booth on the street.

 Mr. Qin is really awesome! The competitor is finished like this. Now, the bidding is 100% certain, and there won't be many variables anymore.

 Mr. Qin must have planned all this long ago!

With that similar design drawing, it will be difficult for the people of Bazin Company to argue. The British at the bidding site will definitely add insult to injury. If this matter is publicized in Europe, then Bazin Company will completely Become a clown.

As for our side, we don’t know anything. We are just bidding in a regular manner.

the next day.

"Mr. Qin, after our careful consideration, your design plan best meets our needs. Now, I announce that your light aircraft carrier will be built by you!"

"I'm glad that you can accept our design. We will definitely go all out. Even if it delays the domestic navy project, we will build your light aircraft carrier on time!" Qin Tao said: "Now, we will Let’s discuss all the details.”

  After talking for two whole days, Yang Dawei and Zheng Ming became hoarse. Finally, the contract, which was hundreds of pages thick, was finalized.

"In half a month, our military will have a grand overseas visit. We hope that the official signing of this contract can be held in your capital." At the end, Nares spoke.

Although the contract has been completely finalized, the signing is still not important enough for Qin Tao, the boss of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group.

You have to go to the capital of China, and you have to have several big figures in the country sign the guarantee, which is more secure.

"Of course it's no problem." Qin Tao said naturally.

What is the other person worried about? Is this warship delivered on schedule? Has our own navy also ordered one? Is there any chance for Yak-141? Qin Tao has already dealt with these matters, and those in the navy will not trouble him.

After all, this matter is also beneficial to the navy. When we build this aircraft carrier, the navy will definitely send more personnel to observe. Even if it is just a light aircraft carrier, it still has important reference significance.

 The navy couldn’t ask for it.

 Walking out of the building and watching the sunset slowly setting, Qin Tao said: "The mission was successfully completed. Now that we are here, we have to relax. Tomorrow, we will go to Phuket."

As a time traveler from later generations, Qin Tao does not have the spirit of his father. This is the generation gap. He will not be busy with work all the time. After the busy work is over, he also needs to relax.

In the 1990s, Siam has vigorously developed its tourism industry. Phuket is the number one tourist destination in Siam, so of course you have to visit it.

Zheng Ming is a little embarrassed. Is it appropriate for us to travel with public funds like this? Will I be punished if I go back? However, before Zheng Ming could say anything, Qin Tao's big brother rang.

"Hey, what? The Americans are here again?" Qin Tao was helpless: "Okay, then I will return tonight."

 “American?” Zheng Ming was a little curious.

“It’s probably because of that gantry crane.” Yang Dawei said, “Mr. Qin is trying to trick people... He is really good at doing business with foreigners.”

"Oh, really, when I get married and go on my honeymoon in the future, I must turn off Big Brother so that no one can find me." Qin Tao looked at the bricks in his hand, still annoyed that he didn't have the chance to go to Jeep Island for vacation. .

Zhao Ling's face turned slightly red. Of course she had already guessed what Qin Tao's real purpose was when he went there for vacation.

 Mingzhou Shipyard.

Williams and Jims both came. They sat in the open space of the shipyard, looking at the ships being built in the distance and the slipway being built nearby, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts.

“You two, why are you sitting here? Why don’t you go in?” At this moment, a familiar and long-awaited voice came.

“Mr. Qin, you are finally back.” Williams said: “Mr. Qin, I heard that you completed the aircraft carrier bidding in Siam and won another big business worth hundreds of millions. Congratulations.”

"Yes, it's a big business worth hundreds of millions. However, what we want to build is an aircraft carrier. The cost of these hundreds of millions is to earn hard money. By the way, when are you planning to transport the gantry crane to us? If it delays us, The consequences of building an aircraft carrier are not something you can afford."

"Mr. Qin, we have borrowed five million yuan. Please continue to allocate funds to us. Otherwise, our project will have to stop. We have borrowed a lot of loan sharks. Once the time is delayed, then we will I can’t even pay the interest!”

Jims was so nervous. Originally, he thought that with more than one million, he could properly dismantle the gantry crane. What now? After the down payment of two million was spent, he and Williams borrowed money from everywhere, and poured in five million. What was the result?

There is still one last step to go, but if you want to borrow money again, there is no place.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, please allocate at least another two million to us so that we can dismantle the gantry crane." Williams said on the other side: "Otherwise, we will have no choice but to file for bankruptcy. You can’t get back the two million you invested.”

I don’t feel bad that my two million was wasted. You all borrowed five million. Even if you file for bankruptcy, you can’t be a deadbeat. The rest of your life will be very difficult.

Qin Tao looked at the two of them with interest. He originally planned to delay it, but anyway, the other party had already fallen into the trap.

“Mr. Qin, I know that you want to build a light aircraft carrier, so we have some good things that we want to give to you.” It seemed that he knew that Qin Tao was not that easy to talk to, so Jims quickly added another sentence.

"Good stuff? What good stuff?" Qin Tao was a little curious.

Williams took out a metal-cased radio from his briefcase.

“Radio? Isn’t this thing too backward?”

 Qin Tao is a little dissatisfied. Are you going to use this thing to fool me?

Jims picked up the screwdriver, quickly unscrewed the screws on it, opened the back cover, and then saw a rectangular thing inside.

 “Is this...a hard drive?”

In 1956, IBM invented the world's first hard drive, the 350RAMAC. This hard drive has 50 24-inch platters and has a capacity of only 5MB. It is as big as two refrigerators and weighs more than a ton.

 In the 1960s and 1970s, 14-inch hard drives began to be widely used and were as big as a microwave oven.

 It was not until 1973 that IBM launched the "Winchester" hard drive: IBM3340. This type of hard drive coats the platters with magnetic material and has several platters mounted on the same shaft. This allows the size of the hard drive to be reduced rapidly.

 By the 1980s, 5.25-inch hard drives were widely used, and 3.5-inch hard drives, which were used in later generations, also began to appear gradually.

The hard drive in front of him was produced by the bankrupt JTS company. It is 5.25 inches and has a capacity of 800 MB. At this time, Qin Tao was also a little surprised when he saw this hard drive.

 Are these two people going to be commercial spies? They were really desperate. If they were discovered when going out of customs in the United States, they would probably have to go in, and they might even eat peanuts.

However, the two of them were smart enough to hide inside the metal casing of the radio and would not be discovered when going through the security check.

 What’s in this? Qin Tao was very curious.

“The design of the sea control ship,” Williams said. There would be no CIA or FBI people here anyway, so he wouldn’t worry about being overheard and causing trouble.

What is stored here is actually the design drawing of the US Navy's sea control ship?

 Qin Tao was a little surprised. This kind of sea control ship was completely abandoned by the Americans in the 1980s. It was useless anyway, so it was used by other allies.

In fact, the design of warships is still very mature. After all, the Americans gave up on sea control ships not because of this kind of warships, but because of carrier-based aircraft and political factors. The Americans themselves built a tall vertical take-off and landing fighter jet. The power is drawn out and blown downward through the louvers on the wings. It is quite tall and elegant. However, because the power loss is too much, this kind of aircraft has always been hung by ropes for experiments, and it cannot take off and land vertically at all.

 Coupled with the opposition of arms dealers, this kind of sea control ship eventually disappeared.

Although Qin Tao designed the aircraft carrier based on his own experience, the effect would be even better if it were optimized by matching the drawings of these sea control ships.

 After all, this kind of design drawing is more mature.

However, although he knew these benefits in his heart, Qin Tao could not say them out. There was dissatisfaction on his face: "What? Sea control ship? It is obviously something that your navy has eliminated, and now you still want to give it to us? What? Are you trying to lead us astray?"

Williams and Jims' expressions turned ugly for a moment. They originally thought that Qin Tao would be very surprised. This thing was a big gift, a gift heavy enough for Qin Tao to allocate money to them. What now? Qin Tao is actually dissatisfied?

“Our design has been optimized and we don’t need this thing at all,” Qin Tao said.

 The hearts of the two have hit rock bottom, and the other person doesn’t like it? Will the other party continue to be stubborn?

"However, for the sake of your sincerity." Qin Tao changed his words: "I will reluctantly accept it. In terms of funding, I originally resolutely implemented it in accordance with our contract. Now, I can allocate it to you again. One million, no more.”

 One million, one million is not enough!

Williams and Jims both felt very uncomfortable. They had calculated that roughly two million more were needed. If this million was invested, would it be wasted?

 “I heard that you borrowed a lot of money?”

“Yes, we are all deeply in debt.” The two nodded quickly.

"In this case, you might as well talk to those creditors." Qin Tao said: "If the project fails now, those creditors will get nothing. Now it is just the last step. I will give you one million, and you can go again Ask a creditor to borrow some money, and after it is dismantled, you will have money."

 “Can you pay us more after it’s taken down?”

"Of course not. I can only pay another one million. After loading the ship, I can pay you two million. Come on, I'm here to cheer you up!"

 What's the use of verbal shouting and cheering, what we need is money!

 5 million in foreign debt. When this project is completed, their outcome...

Williams and Jims both had sad faces.

 half a month later.

 Florida, on a river.

On the river more than two hundred meters wide, the huge landscape on the horizon disappeared, and everything turned into parts. More than 7,000 tons of workpieces filled the entire river bank. At this time, sitting on one of the cut beams , Jims looked at the river with tears streaming down his face.

“It’s finally taken apart.” Williams said at the side.

"Yes, it was finally dismantled. We spent more than eight million to dismantle it. Fortunately, we gained a lot of experience during the disassembly, so it won't take any more effort to install it. Woohoo." Jims choked on his words.

“Yeah, it’s finally taken apart.” Williams murmured: “But our project is seriously overrun. If we continue like this, we will lose our pants, so we have to find a way.”

 “What can we do?” For some reason, Jims had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"All debts belong to our heavy lifting company. Therefore, this company is going to go bankrupt. Of course, all workers will continue to work. After all, they are still responsible for installation. We can set up a new The lifting company will be responsible.”

They borrowed five to six million in debt. If they want to make money, they have to pay off this debt, so they have to let this heavy lifting company go bankrupt.

 Bankruptcy?

Jim immediately reacted: "No, Williams, you can't do this. I will live in the shadow of debt collectors for the rest of my life!"

Although Williams helped him a lot, when he borrowed money, he always borrowed money in the name of the heavy lifting company. Therefore, going through the bankruptcy process will not affect Williams, but it will affect Jims. ah!

"You were the one who said you could split it for one million, but now it's seriously overspending, and it's also your responsibility." Williams said: "If you could estimate that it would cost eight million, then we wouldn't sign the contract at all. !”

“All of this is your responsibility!” Williams said in a loud voice: “If it weren’t for you, this wouldn’t be the case now, so you must shoulder this responsibility!”

Jims was dumbfounded. He looked at the slowly flowing river and suddenly felt that jumping into the river and drowning now seemed like a good idea.

"As long as we get rid of this debt, our business will still be profitable." Williams did not completely cheat his good friend. He continued: "When the time comes, we will still have profits, Jims, I can give it to you A bank card in my name, you can live on that money, we have to do it, we have to do it.”

Woooo!

Jims, a big man, fell into Williams's arms and cried loudly.

　　It’s miserable, it’s so miserable, how could this happen? The baby is feeling miserable!

Of course Jims would not know that as soon as he took on this responsibility, Williams would ruthlessly abandon him. The profit is only a few million, how can it be shared with Jims?

 Everything is caused by Jims!

The sun was setting in the west, and the golden sunlight shone on the river, stretching the shadows of the two people very long, very long, and the rolling river was still flowing.
