Warship of Great Power

Chapter 250: Who are the finished Il-76 and Il-78 sol

  Chapter 250 Who are the finished Il-76 and Il-78 sold to?

  A few years ago, the Moscow International Commercial Bank had already made a name for itself. With the collapse of the Red Empire, the bank also began to expand to the capital of the original republic, and its business was busy.

  If it weren't for Alexander's phone call, the bank would have no reason to refuse this kind of business. There is no reason to refuse people when they open their doors for business.

  But now, they have to do this, because there is a chain meter behind it.

   "Qin, they really came to receive and withdraw cash. I'm very surprised. How did you know?"

"Because the third brother always likes to do this!" Qin Tao said: "Their 200,000 must be given directly to Mikhail. Therefore, we only need to do something to make their purchase plan go away." Get lost, this little trick, let me do it."

Ah San has always done this kind of action in previous arms purchases. The price of the purchased weapons is so high that it is unbelievable. For example, the purchase of the French Rafale fighter jet is obviously a medium-sized aircraft that does not have stealth capabilities. But the purchase price is actually more expensive than the F-35 Lightning.

  Is Ah San being taken advantage of? Of course not, some procurement personnel are full of oil.

  During the procurement process, they played this method openly and transparently, and the 10% rebate ratio was on the surface. And when purchasing some good things they want, they will also give suppliers red envelopes. Especially in the era of the Red Empire, they begged Lao Maozi to sell them weapons. Now that the Red Empire has just collapsed, they need this method even more if they want to complete the procurement plan.

  Alexander shook his head: "Let me do it, hum, I will do it myself, and make them regret it!"

   Thinking of being offended by the third brother, Alexander was very annoyed.

A few hours later, Rajna and Abhinandan finally came back. Their trip was difficult enough. Almost every bank would say that the direct transfer was fine, but the performance was not good. They went to four banks, Only two hundred thousand dollars was collected.

  The Platinum Kingdom has not implemented foreign exchange control yet, so they are making things difficult for people like this!

   Fortunately, it is finally all together.

  The next day, early in the morning.

   "Damn, how could we oversleep?" Rajna was very annoyed: "Now, we have to arrive at the Chkalov Aircraft Factory at eight o'clock!"

   "Maybe it's because of jet lag."

   "What time difference, we are almost at the same longitude!" Rajna walked hurriedly, turning his head and complaining to Abhinandan.

   "Get your suitcases, nothing can go wrong!"

   "Of course." Abhinandan said, "I will protect it."

   While talking, the two had already reached the door of the elevator, and when the door opened, the two of them hurried inside.

"Hey!" Suddenly, Abhinandan screamed, and a person came out of the elevator, and bumped into him head-on, especially his arm holding the suitcase, which was very sharp. It hurts, my fingers are weak, I can't hold the handbag, and it actually falls!

   Abhinandan groaned inwardly. Although his body fell on his back, his eyes were still fixed on the handbag. In his line of sight, two handbags flew side by side to the corner of the wall.

   "Damn it!" Rajna turned his head and saw this situation, his face changed drastically, and he ran forward and rushed to the handbag.

  At this time, there was a waiter cleaning the window at the corner. When he saw the handbag flying, he immediately caught it, one in each hand, with a smile on his face: "Two guests, be careful."

  Which one is yours?

  Rajna looked at the bag handed over by the waiter with his left hand, feeling a little undecided.

  The man who came out of the elevator had also run over and grabbed the handbag on the waiter's right hand.

   "Hey, that..." Abhinandan just stood up and wanted to stop it, but Rajna had already taken the bag in the waiter's left hand, opened the zipper, and let out a long sigh of relief.

  The man was carrying the bag, and just weighed it. He felt that there was no problem, heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Abhinandan: "Reckless guy, apologize to me!"

   "Time is running out, let's go!" Rajna ignored the man, called Khan Abhinandan, and got on the elevator.

   "Damn you rude bastards!"

   "Hmph!" In the elevator, Abhinandan let out another voice from his nose: "If we weren't in a hurry, we must have a good argument with you!"

  If it was in the era of the Red Empire, they would never dare to make such a mistake, but now, when they come to the small Platinum Kingdom, they all have a sense of superiority.

  The Lada sedan was driving like lightning, and drove towards the Chkalov Aircraft Factory.

   Mikhail went to work at eight o’clock as usual, but today he was a little anxious. He sat and worked in the office, glanced at his watch, then stood up again, and walked around the room.

Jingle Bell!

  The phone finally rang.

   "Director, someone is looking for you outside."

   “Ask them to come to the office.”

   Mikhail looked at his watch again, hoping that the two groups of guests would separate and not get together, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

   "Sorry, Mr. Mikhail, we are late!" After Rajna came in, he quickly apologized: "We had a little accident on the way."

   "It's okay." Mikhail said: "Your Excellency Rajna, we haven't seen each other for several years. You are older than before."

Ah San has always been the traditional purchaser of Lao Maozi's weapons, so the relationship between the two parties is still very good. In previous purchases, Rajna had contacted Mikhail, and the two were old acquaintances .

   I just didn’t expect that Rajna has aged very quickly in recent years, and her beard has turned white.

"Yeah, I'm old, but the relationship between us will never change." Rajna said, beckoning to Abhinandan, so Abhinandan hurried up, holding his hand The box was placed on the table and the zipper was opened.

   Inside, stacks of banknotes appeared, with a slight green glow on them.

"My old friend, here is 200,000 yuan, which is a gift for you." Rajna said: "We know that your factory has a lot of finished transport planes, which are trying to sell, and we hope to purchase them all. If there is no problem on your side, then our official delegation will fly over to negotiate immediately."

Rajna and Abhinandan came here with two people, of course not a formal delegation, that kind of delegation is a large investigation group with dozens of people at every turn. Subsequent purchases will be very smooth.

   After all, there is no precedent for this.

  In the past, when they made purchases, they would fly to Moscow to negotiate with the people there. There was no need for the aircraft factory to come here. But the Red Empire collapsed, and these countries jointly divided up the property of the Red Empire.

  However, how to realize the property is still a big problem. Just like this aircraft factory, it has to sell the aircraft it produces in order to make money.

  They come directly to the aircraft factory to purchase, can it work? Will there be interference from Moscow? So they had to come here first to test the waters, to test their reputation, and by the way, to bribe the person in charge here, and when the official delegation came, everything would be in order.

   At this time, Rajna looked at Mikhail's face while talking, and sure enough, he did not disappoint him.

Mikhail's expression betrayed him. Two hundred thousand dollars is definitely not a small amount for Mikhail. After all, in the era of the Red Empire, the salary of Mikhail, the factory manager, was only a few hundred rubles. That's all, the money is enough for him to fight for decades, and now, he can get it easily.

   "Of course there is no problem if you want to purchase the transport planes here." Mikhail said, "It's just that you can't buy all of them. There are other customers who also want to purchase our transport planes."

Although there are a lot of transport planes being produced on their production line, they have already built them, but there are not many. He still remembers being entrusted by the Moscow boss, and there are people in the East who want to purchase. Although he has taken advantage, but, You have to leave some for others too.

   "There are still customers? Where are the customers?" Rajna asked anxiously.

   Mikhail shook his head: "Sorry, I can't reveal the client's secret."

"Could it be the Orientals?" Rajna's breath became short: "Mikhail, you can't sell them the plane! They don't deserve a transport plane of the Il-76 level, and they simply don't have enough military spending Come to buy this kind of aircraft, only we have this ability, and we want all the aircraft that have been built!"

   Seeing Mikhail's expression of embarrassment, Rajna continued: "As long as you can refuse their purchase, we will give you the same reward after we complete the contract!"

   Two hundred thousand is just a foreshadowing. After the event is completed, there will be another two hundred thousand.

   This is US dollars, the currency that can be circulated all over the world!

   "Well, I'll do my best." Mikhail said.

   Just then, the phone rang again, and Mikhail picked it up.

   "Uncle Mikhail, I'm Alexander, the person in charge of the Moscow International Commercial Bank here. We had dinner together a few days ago, and we've arrived at the door."

   "Okay, I'll pick you up and show you around the factory." After Mikhail finished speaking, he put down the phone.

   "You two, I still have something to do. You should go back first. I will report this matter to my superiors. Your delegation will come back in a week, and it should be almost done."

"yes."

  Rajna didn't care too much, he had already seen the greed in Mikhail's eyes, so there shouldn't be any problem with this matter.

  The Red Empire is gone, and these factory managers are trying their best to make money for themselves, so Mikhail will definitely not refuse this temptation.

  Qin Tao and Wang Lao stood at the gate of the factory, looking at the scene inside.

  Rows of factory buildings are row upon row. Between the factory buildings, there are tall and tall trees. Even in this season, there are no leaves on the trees, which can give people a sense of vicissitudes.

  Here is the largest aircraft factory during the Red Empire period!

"Uncle Mikhail, you are finally here. Let me introduce you. These two are guests from the east. This is Qin, and this is Wang." Alexander introduced to Mikhail. .

   "Well, some things have been dealt with just now, let's go, I will take you to the factory to have a look."

   Mikhail never looked at Qin Tao and Wang Lao, which was a sign of guilty conscience.

  Of course he knew what the two of them were doing here, but since he had already accepted other people's benefits, of course he had to reject the person in front of him.

  Although this will make Vinogradov dissatisfied, it is not the era of the Red Empire after all. He is in Tashkent, and he doesn't have to be afraid of Moscow's dictating.

   "It's so big here!" After entering, Mr. Wang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

  Wang Lao once went to the aircraft factory where Yunba was manufactured, and was shocked at the time, but now, when he sees Lao Maozi’s factory building, it is not at the same level at all.

  The entire Yunba aircraft factory, all the production plants added up, are not as big as the one in front of us!

The Il-76 has a wingspan of 50 meters and a height of about 15 meters. The production workshop in front of me is hundreds of meters wide and 30 meters high. Therefore, the Il-76 is produced here. They can also leave more than 20 meters of passages to facilitate the transportation of various materials. As for the length of this workshop, it is estimated to be several kilometers! Because looking in from the entrance here, the Il-76s that are being assembled one after another are neatly photographed in a line, and you can't see the end at all. Just looking around, you can see at least twenty The vertical tail of more than one Il-76.

  The length of this kind of plane is also 50 meters, plus the gap left between the two planes, one plane has to occupy a distance of almost 100 meters, twenty, that is two kilometers.

  Although the monthly output is in single digits, there is no assembly line for the assembly of aircraft, and they are all installed at fixed stations. Dozens of aircraft are installed at the same time to ensure that only a few of them leave the factory every month.

   Spectacular, so spectacular.

  Qin Tao is a shipbuilder, supposedly more grand, but now, seeing such a spectacular aircraft production scene, Qin Tao is still extremely shocked. Probably only the production plant of Boeing Company can be compared with this one, right?

Soon, Wang Lao looked at one of the fuselages being assembled. Unlike other planes, the nose of this plane did not have a transparent bombardier cabin, but was fully enclosed. , You can also see additional openings, those air intakes, are likely to be used for heat dissipation of the aircraft's internal devices!

"This aircraft is the airframe of our specially built A-50 early warning aircraft, but now its production has completely stopped. We are fully committed to producing ordinary transport aircraft and tankers. After all, those aircraft can be sold when they are produced Go, but for the airborne early warning aircraft, we can only produce the airframe, and we have to send it to the relevant department to install the radar equipment." Mikhail said.

  In the Soviet era, it was easy to coordinate the production of various equipment, but now it is different. It has to cross countries, and production, sales, and profit distribution are big problems. It is difficult for those airframes to be used anymore.

   "How far is the assembly progress of this machine?" Qin Tao asked, trying to keep his words calm.

   "At present, this frame has been assembled to 95%." Mikhail said: "However, there is no need to continue to assemble it. Even if it is assembled, it is meaningless."

"That is to say, its final fate is to be sold for broken pieces?" Qin Tao took a deep breath: "This pile of broken copper and broken aluminum can be sold for about one million if you take it apart. ?"

  Qin Tao started to do his old job again.

   Sell junk, a million?

   Mikhail wanted to shake his head subconsciously, what a joke! This aircraft is about to complete its final assembly. After completion, it will be able to fly and become a platform for early warning aircraft.

  How much is an AWACS? Hundreds of millions at every turn!

   Even if there is no electronic equipment in it now, just an aircraft platform, it can’t be done for one million. Look at the American medium-sized tactical transport aircraft, C-130, which can still sell for 40 million!

  Old Wang’s heart became inexplicably excited. This plane was originally specially built for the early warning aircraft. Therefore, if this plane is bought back, then there will be a platform for building early warning aircraft in the future!

   Moreover, it is still one million, which is definitely the price of cabbage! Although the country is poor, this million is definitely affordable.

Alexander just smiled there. After a few contacts, he was very satisfied with Qin Tao, and the two of them were considered good friends, so this time it was a good friend to help. Qin Tao would spend one million to buy the body of such an early warning aircraft , it is definitely here to pick up cheap, now, it depends on what Mikhail has to say.

   Mikhail's expression is wonderful.

  He almost said that the other party was joking, but then he thought of what he just promised.

Ah San wants to buy all the transport planes and aerial refueling planes that have already been built, but the platform of the AWACS aircraft that has not been built in front of him is obviously not among them. If this is the case, sell this plane to the customer from the east , wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?

Thinking of this, he coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Qin, this plane is only five percent short of the process, and it can be assembled into a brand new plane. Selling state property cheaply. If you're interested in it, it's worth at least ten million."

Qin Tao shook his head: "No, 10 million is too expensive. If you buy the transport aircraft and aerial refueling aircraft that have just rolled off the production line here, it is still a reasonable price, but this type of aircraft has been modified for the use of early warning aircraft, partially strengthened, and the aircraft is even more expensive. Heavy, even if you buy it back to fly civil aviation, it’s not economical, it’s not necessary, it’s not necessary, ten million dollars can’t be wasted like this, after all, we can’t print dollars ourselves.”

   Needless to say 10 million, even if it is 30 million to buy it, it is definitely worth it. This is a strategic large transport aircraft!

  However, Qin Tao is not in a hurry, he has plenty of patience, and he will definitely be able to negotiate a suitable price.

Suddenly, Qin Tao remembered something, and said to Alexander who was beside him: "By the way, it seems that a certain fat man has made a large amount of Jia coins recently and entered the market. We have checked out several batches in our country. You should also be careful." ah."

"Our Moscow International Bank has also discovered that someone has used this to fool us. However, our staff are all experienced and can be found on the spot. There is really a difference, the biggest problem this time is the ink, the green emblem and number on the right side of the ticket, after rubbing **** the white paper, there will be obvious green marks on the paper, and the fake ones can’t be wiped out.”

   When talking about this, Alexander laughed: "There is something even more ridiculous. Someone actually took a batch of the same number and wanted to deposit it in our bank. Do you think it's funny? Hahaha."

  Qin Tao also laughed, and Mikhail, although he was also laughing, was obviously unnatural. He had something on his mind!

  The crowd continued to move forward. After waiting for a few minutes, Qin Tao saw Mikhail's absent-minded look, and knew that just a little more medicine would be enough.

"Your Excellency Mikhail, I heard that there is a batch of fully assembled aircraft here, can we go and have a look?" Qin Tao said: "We have already prepared the payment, even if it is 20 million, we will buy it. "

  Look at the plane? Want to buy those planes? I have already promised Ah San.

   Mikhail suddenly covered his stomach: "I'm sorry, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, so excuse me for a while, Sergey, take the guests to continue watching."

   Mikhail said, and ran outside.

  Sergey is Mikhail's deputy, and now, he can only lead everyone forward.

   I have to say that the foundation of this factory is not bad, so far, it has not shown signs of decline, the workers are still working normally, the factory has a large stock of parts, and the production is still continuing in an orderly manner.

  Qin Tao seemed to have forgotten his proposal, and continued to look forward, visiting the legacy of the Red Empire.

   Mikhail trotted all the way back to his office. From the safe, he took out the handbag and unzipped it.

  He took out a stack from the inside, pulled out the first one, and looked at it carefully. The second one and the first one didn't have the same number.

so far so good.

  However, this paper seems not crisp enough.

  He tried to wipe the green emblem and number on the right side on the paper, and then looked at the white paper, as if there was nothing?

   It shouldn't be.

  He continued to exert force, but still nothing.

   Mikhail had an ominous premonition in his heart, he continued to draw out the second one, and when he looked at the third one, his face suddenly became ugly.

  Nima, the number on the third one seems to be the same as the second one?

   Look at the bottom again, the number of each card is the same as the previous one!

  The second bundle, the third bundle, he kept taking out the contents inside, flipping through them with his hands, and with a simple glance, he knew that they were all heavy numbers.

   Bang!

   Mikhail slammed the suitcase to the ground, it was too much, too much, Ah San actually used this kind of thing to fool him!

  The other party was sure that within a short period of time, he would not dare to deposit the money in the bank, but could only lock it in the safe, so he used this indecent method to deceive him.

  Hmph, still want a plane? I won't give you one!

   Mikhail clenched his fist.
