Chapter 251 My son-in-law got it back!

I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such stupid people, actually using such things to fool people!

Mikhail's heart was filled with anger. His fists were clenched, veins popped out on his arms, and his eyes radiated with anger, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Haunted all the way out of the office, and when he entered the workshop, he calmed down a little. If others saw him like this, they would definitely know that something unpleasant had happened to him.

　　Although I have been tricked, I cannot say this kind of thing.

Mikhail took a deep breath and walked in slowly.

At this time, Qin Tao and Mr. Wang, led by Sergey, slowly inspected along the workshop and saw the last plane.

This is an ordinary IL-76 transport aircraft that has just begun to be assembled. Someone is installing a sky-blue instrument panel. Inside the cockpit, the threads are messy and the instruments are flying, which makes it look dazzling.

"I heard that the West has started to develop glass cockpits." Qin Tao said: "Using advanced data buses to transmit data, there are only a few monitors in the cockpit, which looks very neat. The Soviet technology is advanced. Is there such a thing? A similar modified aircraft?"

 Data bus, only a few monitors?

Sergey who was present was a little embarrassed. This technology is certainly advanced, but it is still far away from Lao Maozi’s electronic technology!

 Fortunately, Mikhail had already come over without him needing to answer, with a smile on his face: "Qin, the Soviet is gone."

“Yeah, no more, I will always talk about this country unconsciously. Alas.” Qin Tao sighed.

 Actually, the people present more or less had the same sigh in their hearts.

 For those ambitious people, of course they want to live separately. Their countries are strong and have to pull down the weak countries. For the platinum country, it is equivalent to taking advantage.

 Without the Red Empire, could they build a modern aircraft factory here? Just think about it and you know it's impossible.

Now that the Red Empire is gone, their current aircraft factory can only continue to produce aircraft according to the original technology. Want to improve?

How could the Ilyushin Design Bureau send the improved drawings to them for free in distant Moscow? There will inevitably be a lot of interests involved. If they want to continue to cooperate, just negotiating is enough to make people speechless.

As the person in charge of the factory, Mikhail naturally had more on his mind. Now he also sighed: "I heard that the Ulyanovsk heavy-duty aircraft carrier cruiser has been dismantled at the Black Sea Shipyard. We came out of the slipway to build ocean-going ships for the Norwegian company. That powerful warship is already turning into scrap metal."

 Ulyanovsk?

 Qin Tao was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that he would have to visit a few more places during this trip.

This old Maozi's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has experienced ups and downs. It could have become the most powerful aircraft carrier in the Red Empire, but it died before it even took off. With the collapse of that powerful empire, this aircraft carrier also Under the joint deception of the company, it was dismantled on the slipway, and not even a penny was earned.

This is the pain when transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy. The old guys have no experience in signing contracts with foreign customers, and they don’t even have liquidated damages.

Even if Qin Tao wanted to bring the empty shell of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier back to China, he would not have such a chance. After all, the West regarded that aircraft carrier as a thorn in its side, so how could he just watch Qin Tao give it to the country? Drag it back.

Now, the aircraft carrier has been dismantled into scrap metal. Qin Tao, an international businessman, has no problem buying some scrap steel. The price of US$500 per ton offered by the Americans is too high. They have already been dismantled anyway and are sold as junk. , fifty US dollars per ton is quite a lot.

How many tons does that thing weigh? It seems to be close to 30,000 tons of steel, right? One and a half million dollars, collecting a pile of scrap metal, is already a lot of money.

  Qin Tao has already begun to think about his next itinerary.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin!" Mr. Wang pushed Qin Tao.

 Qin Tao just realized that his thoughts were already flying to the sky!

“Qin, Uncle Mikhail invited us to see the IL-76 and IL-78 that have been built.” Alexander said at the side.

 “Okay, let’s go and see it together!”

　　When Qin Tao made this request, he was slapped by Mikhail. Now, Mikhail has taken the initiative to invite them over. He has obviously made up his mind!

It seems that what he just said was to go to the toilet, but he actually ran back to look at the contents of the suitcase. Hahaha, if the third brother was in front of him at this time, he would probably beat him severely with his fists, right?

Thinking of this, Qin Tao was very proud. This was a job well done.

The built aircraft were of course immediately rolled out of the workshop to make room. Those aircraft were parked on the open-air tarmac. You could even see the sides of the aircraft from a distance, which had been spray-painted with the colors of the Soviet Air Force, the Homeland Defense Air Force, and the Navy. logo.

 It’s a pity that that powerful country has disappeared. Now, things and people have changed, which makes people feel sad.

"Currently, we have a total of six Il-78 aerial tankers and four Il-76 transport aircraft here." Mikhail said: "These aircraft have been assembled recently, but their original owners They have disappeared, so our factory has the right to deal with these aircraft."

Qin Tao nodded: "Mr. Mikhail, can you accompany us in and take a look?"

"sure."

Mikhail just thought Qin Tao wanted to take a look inside the plane, so he didn't think much, led Qin Tao the way, opened the tail door of a transport plane, and walked directly up.

 However, just after he followed Qin Tao in, Qin Tao spoke to him in a low voice.

"Mr. Mikhail, let's give you a thorough explanation. We want all these aircraft. Our base price is US$15 million each. If you can help us lower the price, then the reduced amount will be It's yours." Qin Tao said: "For example, if you can sign a contract with us for 10 million US dollars, then there will be 50 million more in your account!"

 How much money did Asan give Mikhail?

 Two hundred thousand dollars! At most, another 200,000 was promised afterwards, but Mikhail could only earn 400,000!

What now? Qin Tao can give Mikhail a hundred times the kickback!

When he heard Qin Tao say the price of 15 million US dollars per aircraft, Mikhail subconsciously wanted to shake his head. This is impossible! These are strategic transport aircraft! A medium-sized transport aircraft C-130 in the West can be sold for 40 million US dollars. This strategic level can be sold for hundreds of millions, but our own one can be sold for 15 million?

Mikhail originally wanted to refuse. He felt insulted, but after hearing the following words, his heart began to tremble.

 As long as the price can be lowered, the money saved belongs to Mikhail!

 If each plane can save 5 million, then 10 planes can save 50 million, and all of this money will go into Mikhail's account!

Fifty million. If he has such a sum of money and the transaction is completed, he can go to the West and live the life he wants. Who else will hold him responsible?

 Insult me, insult me ​​with money! At this moment, deep in Mikhail's heart, the greedy devil was making this call. This was a one-shot deal. As long as it was completed, he would have everything for the rest of his life.

Mikhail swallowed: "But you also know that I can't have the final say on these planes. A plane worth ten million US dollars is too cheap. Even if I agree, the government will not agree." of."

Ideals are beautiful, but you have to look at reality!

In reality, their Chkalov Aircraft Factory is the backbone of Platinum Country's national economy. The money from the sale of these ten built aircraft is an important income for the national treasury. If they want to sell it at a low price, the relevant government departments will not agree. Yes!

"Mr. Mikhail, I will also give you one million US dollars in activity funds. You can use these funds to lobby relevant government leaders." Qin Tao has long known the difficulties Mikhail is facing, so he also gives him Think of a way.

"As for these aircraft, you can do something. For example, there is a fire on the tarmac and these aircraft are burned. For example, some parts provided by Da Mao on the aircraft are not up to standard and these aircraft have become scraps. Another example is that suddenly, There was a thunderstorm, these aircraft were struck by lightning, all the circuits on the aircraft needed to be replaced, etc. In short, these aircraft were no longer finished aircraft, just scraps."

 Mikhail's eyes slowly lit up.

If he is given two million dollars to lobby, he believes that he can convince those government leaders. In addition, there is a problem with the plane here, which will completely solve his problem.

There is already a way, how to choose?

"Mr. Mikhail, the Red Empire is no longer there. Although there is an organization like the CIS, it is too loose." Qin Tao said: "Next, small countries will not have an easy life. Just take your aircraft factory. Say, you need a large amount of parts provided by Da Mao to assemble the aircraft. Do you think Da Mao is willing to provide the parts to you? Or open a new production line in their own aircraft factory to assemble the aircraft? What about 76?”

Mikhail has thought about these things. Now that Qin Tao has pointed them out, he also knows what the outcome will be.

 Why should Damao give them benefits? Wouldn't it be better for Da Mao to take it all to himself?

"So, even though the Chkalov Aircraft Factory is still prosperous now, when the parts in stock are used up, the place will soon fall into crisis, and the final fate will be bankruptcy. Therefore, you should seize the opportunity now. , pave a way for yourself." Qin Tao continued to lie.

 From Mikhail's eyes, Qin Tao saw greed.

"The two million activity funds we gave you were transferred through the Moscow International Commercial Bank. Alexander can guarantee the authenticity of those US dollars. As for the subsequent rebates, we will directly deposit them into the Swiss Bank account." Qin Tao said: " Please be assured that we will pay as soon as the contract is signed and before the plane flies away."

 Mikhail swallowed again, and then said: "I will try my best."

After getting off the plane, Mikhail looked at the sky. The bright sunshine was shining on him. The rainy weather had passed. From now on, every day of his life would be full of sunshine!

 On the way back.

Mr. Wang cautiously asked Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, have everything been negotiated?"

"Well, it's all agreed upon. All ten planes belong to us. It's estimated that the contract signing will take about a week. We'll just wait here." Qin Tao said.

 It’s all settled!

 Mr. Qin entered the plane, talked with Mikhail for a few words, and then it was settled? Is Mr. Qin too awesome? Ten planes!

“Are these ten planes expensive?” Mr. Wang asked.

"Yes, fifteen million per rack is expensive enough. If we buy these racks back and pay for the activities, our group's liquidity will be at its lowest." Qin Tao said.

What? Fifteen million apiece? Is this really a cabbage price? Mr. Wang was shocked again.

 Alexander was very calm, because he had already seen Qin Tao's ability. Now, he said calmly: "The two hundred thousand is yours."

"No, no, that's not possible." Qin Tao said, "You and Dalia did it. They have nothing to do with me. They have no merit and no reward. Those are all yours."

“But you planned it for us. Let’s do this. Each of us has half. If you don’t want it, you’re looking down on us.”

"All right."

 Qin Tao readily accepted.

 Rajna and Abhinandan were very happy when they returned to the hotel.

"We have negotiated the terms, and this deal will definitely go smoothly." Rajna was very satisfied: "The Red Empire has disappeared. These people will only stuff benefits into their own pockets. As long as they are fed, , they will definitely agree to our request, even if we ask them to sell their country, there will be no problem."

"Yes, we bought Mikhail with only 200,000 yuan." Abhinandan was also very happy: "Our activity fund this time is one million, so the rest..."

When they go out to make purchases, they have to get some benefits into their own pockets. Even if they need to bribe the other party, they have to keep some for themselves. For Asan, this is already normal.

"I will give you ten thousand dollars. Don't say anything nonsense after you go back." Rajna said.

 Only ten thousand?

Abhinandan was a little dissatisfied, but he did not dare to say anything. After all, Rajna was his superior. If Rajna had not brought him out this time, he would not have had this opportunity.

“Okay, let’s go out to have fun. The women here are so beautiful!”

Rayna said that Abanan was excited again. Although she could only get 10,000 US dollars, it was also good to play a few beautiful women here.

When the two of them came out, they met several people.

 “Why does it look familiar?” Rajna couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious, as if he had seen it somewhere.

However, as the figure flashed past, he did not continue to think about it. Anyway, his task was completed, and the next step was to enjoy it happily. There was no need to seek discomfort.

 That evening.

 Click, click!

Several thunders fell from the sky, illuminating the night sky of the city. After the thunder, a heavy rain fell.

In the history of Tashkent, this kind of heavy rain is still quite rare. It seems that this year's climate is really special.

 The next day, several people went to the restaurant to eat. The morning news was playing on the TV in the restaurant.

Qin Tao glanced at it unconsciously and felt that the picture flashing on the TV was very familiar. He couldn't help but ask: "Dalia, what is the news saying?"

 Dalia is a versatile person. In addition to working as a secretary for Alexander and handling various life and work matters, Dalia is also a temporary translator for several of them.

After hearing Qin Tao's question, Dalia immediately replied: "What I was just reporting was yesterday's thunderstorm. Several thunders hit the tarmac of the Chkalov Aircraft Factory. The planes parked there, Severe damage occurred due to lack of lightning protection measures.”

When he heard the news, Qin Tao couldn't help but smile. This was really smooth. God was so kind that he thundered at the right time!

In fact, any aircraft needs to take lightning protection into consideration when designing it. However, even so, we can occasionally see news that an aircraft is struck by lightning while passing through a thunderstorm area, and then an accident occurs. For This is a difficult problem for aircraft lightning protection.

Even advanced fighter jets like the F-35 have deficiencies in mine protection.

At present, if an aircraft that has not yet left the factory is struck by lightning, the aircraft will have hidden dangers, just like a truck soaked in water. No one knows when and where problems will occur.

“The God of Thunder and the Mother of Lightning are really powerful.” Qin Tao said, “Now, we don’t have any problems with our procurement.”

While several people were talking, in the hotel room, Rajna was sleeping soundly with his arms around a woman he called back last night. After a night of hard work, he was very satisfied and very tired.

 (The Platinum Kingdom, just after the separation, was still quite open, but later became more conservative.)

On the bed next to him, Abhinandan was still venting wantonly, and the sound was heard from time to time. Abhinandan turned up the volume of the TV again.

 Wait a minute, what’s on the TV?

Abhinandan can speak the language here, so he was brought by Rajna to stand in front together. At this time, Abhinandan stopped moving, and his face became increasingly ugly.

The woman let out a long breath. This guy who had applied Asan's divine oil had tormented her all night long, and now he finally became soft.

“Rajna, Lord Rajna, wake up quickly, something happened!”

An hour later, a Lada car roared and rushed to the Chkalov Aircraft Factory. Rajna and Abhinandan were eager to see Mikhail, but were turned away. I'm going to report the situation to my superiors!

How is the plane? How is the plane?

airplane? Those on the tarmac were reportedly struck by lightning, and the damage to the electronic equipment inside was unknown.

What?

 The two of them were dumbfounded.

 Hundred 200,000 were wasted?

 If the plane breaks down, what else will they buy? However, it is impossible to get the 200,000 yuan given to Mikhail back.

 The two guys were dumbfounded.

 Three days later.

"Our Mingzhou Group is a large group involved in many industries. Our transportation company is already the leader in domestic transportation. This time, we will purchase ten of your damaged aircraft and repair them after we return. Then it will be put into commercial operation." Qin Tao looked at the government representative opposite with regret on his face: "Although the price is cheap, it will have to be repaired when we go back. We don't know whether we will lose money this time."

"Mr. Qin, please rest assured that these aircraft are of maintenance value, but we don't have enough parts here. If you need them, you can always use a full set of Western avionics to improve them." The government representative patted his chest and assured: " You will definitely make money.”

"Well, I hope." Qin Tao said: "I also have to thank your brave test pilots for being willing to fly these aircraft with damaged avionics to our domestic airports."

  Even the most skilled pilots cannot fly all kinds of aircraft. Each aircraft has different performance characteristics and must undergo necessary modification training before it can fly the corresponding model.

Now, the Platinum Kingdom can't wait to sell the plane to Qin Tao in a package, and even provide door-to-door delivery. This makes Qin Tao very touched. When the plane returns to China, it has nothing to do with this place. How to modify it is his own business. .

“This is what it should be. Our IL-76 uses a mature and reliable hydraulic operation method. Even if it is struck by lightning, it will be no problem to fly during the day. As long as it reaches your airspace, there is an aircraft to pilot it.”

“Of course, we have made all preparations.”

The agreement was signed, and both parties shook hands and took photos. On the afternoon of that day, ten Il-76s and Il-78s took off from the runway of the Chkalov Aircraft Factory.

Watching these planes take off, Mr. Wang was extremely excited. With these planes, domestic early warning aircraft will have a suitable platform!

“It’s a pity that we can’t get back the dedicated A-50 early warning aircraft platform.” After leaving the aircraft factory, Mr. Wang sighed again.

"How difficult is that? When this factory goes bankrupt in the future, we will have plenty of opportunities. However, by that time, we will probably already have advanced large aircraft in the country, and we will not need to buy these junk. If there is inventory here We can purchase a batch of spare engines."

That evening, at an airport in China.

“Old Lin, let’s make a deal first. You can have the transport plane, but the aerial tankers all belong to our navy!” Wu Shengli said cheerfully while standing on the tarmac of the airport, looking at the sky in the distance.

"You don't need that many six aerial tankers. Two are good. Our air force also needs to practice aerial refueling technology!" Mr. Lin said: "We also have to build an air force that is both offensive and defensive. .”

“Come on, you have a Su-27 with a range of two to three thousand kilometers and aerial refueling? Where are you going? Flying over the Pacific?”

"It will happen one day. Anyway, the funds your navy has applied for are limited, so we will purchase them according to our respective funds."

“Humph, my son-in-law got these planes. Even if you have money, if I don’t give them to you, I won’t give them to you!” Wu Shengli was very adamant.
