Chapter 311: I want to pick up a warship, but what, can’t I carry it away?

 Pacific Fleet Command.

The auction location was still the same room, which gave Li Jinshan a special feeling. It was here that he auctioned the Minsk, but it also became a hot potato and the source of the company's losses. .

When they heard that they were going to continue filming Novorossiysk, countless people opposed it, thinking that such a crazy move shouldn't be done and that they couldn't suffer any more. However, the old man sitting in the main seat finally agreed to his suggestion.

Of course, the company has no money anymore and only raised five million for him. The remaining five million was obtained by selling his house, car and other properties. In this way, it can also be regarded as gambling. Everything about him.

 He is very determined. This time, he must not fail, he must succeed! As long as the boiler on the Novorossiysk is removed, they can completely get out of the predicament, and their navy will also have an aircraft carrier!

Think about what happened a few months ago. At that time, the Da Mao Pacific Fleet did so coolly, wasn't it because they had the Novorossiysk?

 The aircraft carrier is a symbol of a big country. They, the Kimchi Country, also need an aircraft carrier!

With this thought, he sat on the chair, and then he saw Qin Tao on the other side and waved to him.

 When he saw Qin Tao, Li Jinshan had mixed emotions. Is this person a friend or an enemy? Did he do all this?

Li Jinshan doesn’t know, and he doesn’t want to think about such messy things. For him, as long as no one makes trouble for him, that’s enough.

Even if the other party is causing trouble, he will not be fooled, because he only has 10 million US dollars in his pocket!

Li Jinshan just nodded to Qin Tao and then ignored Qin Tao. For him, the most important thing at the moment was to get his mood in order and then deal with what was going to happen next.

 Are there any other companies?

 There are indeed more.

Several companies that bid last time are here again. However, even if the Novorossiysk is auctioned off by them, don't worry too much. You can buy the dismantled boiler from them, which is also okay.

"I am very happy that everyone is supporting our auction again. This is a new contribution made by us for world peace. After the Minsk, we decided to auction Novorossiysk as well. Just like last time, we demolished All the weapon systems have been removed, leaving only an empty shell. At the same time, we also require that the successful bidder, after taking away the warship, needs to dismantle it into scrap metal and not use it for any other purpose, otherwise If you do, you are violating our agreement. Now, let’s get started!”

 “The starting price is one million, with each increase of 500,000.”

 The auction kicked off again.

"1500000!"

 “Two million!”

 “Two and a half million!”

After the price was shouted at 2.5 million, no one stopped shouting the price. For scrap metal, this price was already very high.

“Five million.” Li Jinshan shouted out a price. After shouting, he looked at Qin Tao. Now, would Qin Tao jump out and cause trouble for them?

Qin Tao's hand was playing with the bidding sign. When he was about to raise his hand, Li Jinshan's heart was in his throat.

However, I still let it go.

 “Five million once.”

 “Five million twice.”

 “Three times five million times!”

"Unfortunately, this bidding did not reach the seller's psychological reserve price, so this auction..."

There was regret in the host's tone. Although the bidding started at one million, this was not the seller's psychological reserve price. If this price was not reached, the transaction would still not proceed.

 But what is the reserve price?

Nobody knows.

 Is it 80 million? That old man is just dreaming.

 “Ten million!” Li Jinshan shouted.

If Qin Tao is right and Lao Maozi's base price is 10 million, then he can use this base price to obtain the Novorossiysk.

Although the warship was bought for 10 million, the dismantled ship can be sold for several million, which is equivalent to using the remaining few million to buy a boiler. It is still very cost-effective. Although it is not brand new, it can be dismantled and repaired. After removing the scale and so on, it should be no problem to continue using it.

Ten million!

Countless people looked at Li Jinshan sideways. Isn't this just trying to make a fool of himself? Their Dazhou Company has been in a serious crisis recently. Who would have thought that they would pay such high prices to buy such scrap metal? I really don’t know what they are thinking!

Li Jinshan ignored the gazes of these people and just looked at Qin Tao. If Qin Tao offered 10.5 million yuan and defeated him, then their Dazhou Company would be doomed.

 Qin Tao's hand began to play with the bidding sign again, raising it several times and putting it down again.

 “Once in ten million!”

 “Twice a million times!”

“Thirty million times! Congratulations, Dazhou Company is pleased to announce the acquisition of Novorossiysk!”

Li Jinshan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxed, and his whole body slumped in his seat.

Novorossiysk was bought, and their Dazhou Company was saved. They only need to remove the boiler inside and install it... No, as long as they make sure that the boiler is in good condition, they can ask the Navy for money!

 With this money, they have nothing to fear.

Li Jinshan was panting heavily, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.

“What’s wrong with you?” Pu Douxuan saw Li Jinshan’s appearance and was very worried: “Should I call you a doctor?”

"No need." Li Jinshan said: "Go and complete the formalities immediately! Send the Novorossiysk back as soon as possible!"

“Well, don’t worry, I’ll do it now.”

Li Jinshan closed his eyes, and in his mind, the image of a modified aircraft carrier appeared, with a flying deck, an angled deck, and F-18 fighter jets taking off and landing from it. Although they have gone through hardships, history will remember them. Dazhou Company, remember him Li Jinshan!

“Mr. Li, congratulations.” At this time, Qin Tao came over and extended a friendly hand to him.

“Humph, Qin, the boiler matters and the natural gas ship matters are all related to you! What you did is too much!” Li Jinshan’s face changed: “We will file a claim with you!”

“Mr. Li, this is not good. Is this burning the bridge?” Qin Tao looked at Li Jinshan, still smiling.

This guy's performance is really good. He is trying to break up with himself, so of course he will help him!

“You are burning bridges across rivers. This is all a conspiracy by you. You have defrauded our Dazhou Company of a large amount of money, and we will never let it go!”

"Okay, from now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge." Qin Tao said: "If you have any means, just use it. Alas, this is really a story of a farmer and a snake. !”

Qin Tao sighed, shook his head and left.

 “Hmph!” Li Jinshan felt very relieved.

He has learned the technology of natural gas ships, and the bidding for the Novorossiysk has been completed. From now on, he will have no need to cooperate with Qin Tao. Now, when he thinks about those things in the past, he always feels that he was given a hand by Qin Tao. Cheated.

Although there is no evidence, you still have to have fun!

Looking at Qin Tao's leaving figure, Li Jinshan felt very relieved.

the other side.

"Okay, 10 million has been credited to your account. Now, can you take me to see that warship? We need to drive it back as soon as possible." Pu Douxuan said to the person in front of him.

“Of course, I will take you to go through the handover procedures immediately.”

The last Minsk was driven directly to the shipyard by Lao Maozi. Now this Novorossiysk must not be like that. The handover must be completed here at the base, so as to save Lao Maozi from driving the warship over. By the way, the boiler exploded!

 They can be regarded as having learned a lesson.

Just as the person in charge was about to take Pu Douxuan there, the phone rang. When he picked up the phone, the expression on his face changed. He answered several times in succession, and then put down the phone.

 “What’s wrong?” Pu Douxuan asked curiously.

 “Sorry, you are temporarily unable to accept the Novorossiysk.”

"Why? We have already paid!" Pu Douxuan felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"We just received the news that after you received the Minsk, you did not dismantle it into scrap metal as per the original agreement. Now, several large international companies have made serious protests against us. They think , our Pacific Fleet is helping your Kimchi Country gain aircraft carrier power."

What?

A bolt from the blue struck Pu Douxuan on the head, and his mind was in chaos.

 “International companies, protest? What international companies?”

 “Some shipyards in Europe and the United States.”

“Those fellow bidders? How could they do this?” Pu Douxuan was completely dumbfounded.

"Where is your commander? I want to see your commander." Pu Douxuan said: "I will assure him that after the Novorossiysk sails back, it will be dismantled into scrap metal soon. !”

"Moscow knew about this and was very dissatisfied with our Pacific Fleet. The commander went back to Moscow to explain." The staff member said: "The call just now was from the commander, asking us to temporarily stop trading, otherwise , will lead to more significant international disputes."

"Then, can we ask to terminate the transaction? Give us back our ten million." Of course Pu Douxuan knew that their company's situation had completely deteriorated to the point where it could not be improved, and this ten million was the last sum of money. , is their hope. Now, since the transaction cannot continue, the money must be returned.

You have to be reasonable about this kind of thing. If you take the money and don't give it to the warship, then of course you have to refund the money.

 “Okay, I’ll ask for instructions right away.” The other party knew what was going on and called immediately, but...

 “I’m sorry, the money was in our account, but it was deducted in less than a minute.”

 “Done it all?”

"Yes, our base owes a large amount of water and electricity bills, as well as a lot of wages. After the finance department got the money, they immediately transferred it. Now, we are recovering it, and there are about three hundred dollars left in the account. Dollar…"

Pu Douxuan didn't know how he got back to the hotel. His face was pale, his whole body was trembling, he was sweating, and his clothes were all soaked, as if he had fallen into the water.

When Li Jinshan saw Pu Douxuan for the first time, he immediately realized: something happened!

“We have been tricked!” After Pu Douxuan said these words, Li Jinshan felt his eyes go dark, and then he fainted.

 Pacific Fleet, Headquarters.

"Qin, this trick of yours is really useful. We got 10 million, and we don't have to deliver the ship. The Novorossiysk is still ours!" Nicholas felt a beautiful feeling in his heart. ah.

Only Qin Tao can come up with this kind of strategy, and even if the other party complains, it will be useless!

"I can only blame the people of Kimchi for being too greedy. You made it clear at the auction that it must be broken down into scrap metal and not used for military purposes." Qin Tao said, "If they only take away the Minsk, Then there is nothing we can do against them, but now, they are still coming to take pictures of the Novorossiysk, which is like sending a message to the door!"

 If you don’t kill Dazhou Company, who will you kill?

  They were the ones who violated the rules anyway.

Originally, it was well said that the Minsk was bought back to be scrapped for scrap metal. What was the result? He just refused to listen and wanted to transform into an aircraft carrier!

If there was only that one, forget it, they actually took the Novorossiysk away. Now, it was Sima Zhao’s intention, and everyone on the road knew it!

Many people will not be unhappy if the Kimchi Country has an aircraft carrier, such as those in the island country, such as the Americans, etc. Several of their steel companies that failed to bid came forward to expose the true intentions of the Dazhou Company and the Minsk The USS has not been dismantled, so the Pacific Fleet can only maintain fairness and justice.

"That's right, those people didn't take my words seriously. As long as the Minsk is broken into scrap metal, this Novorossiysk must also be theirs. We will never covet this warship. Come on, have a drink. !”

 The two wine glasses clinked together again.

“Your Excellency Nicholas, we have just received news that Li Jinshan suddenly fainted and is being sent to the hospital for rescue!” Zaitsev came over to report the news.

"We must use the best doctor, and we must not let him die here. Otherwise, it will get a bad reputation." Qin Tao said.

This is Lao Maozi's largest city in the Far East, and there are still many famous doctors. If Li Jinshan dies, it will not be fun.

"This kind of person should not die." Nicholas said: "Come on, Qin, let's continue talking. Mingzhou, can you repair this warship for us?"

"Of course there is no problem in repairing it. The ten million sent by Dazhou Company is enough to cover the maintenance cost. But, Nikolai, we can't do anything now. We have to wait until Dazhou Company goes bankrupt. You can make a public statement. Only by keeping this warship in good name can we repair it."

Nicholas nodded: "When will that company go bankrupt?"

 If we wait a few years, the 10 million US dollars will probably be spent!

“I guess it happened in the last one or two months,” Qin Tao said.

Nicholas nodded, one or two months can still wait!

Dazhou Company must go bankrupt, and this is just the beginning! If these competitors are not defeated, how will other domestic shipyards make money in the future?

Qin Tao has already thought about his next plan.

This meal of wine was very enjoyable. He drank from noon to evening before Qin Tao returned to the guest house.

Then, Qin Tao was surprised to see someone waiting at the gate of the guest house. After seeing Qin Tao, he came directly and knelt down.

what? Qin Tao secretly cried out in his heart.

Who knows if there are paparazzi here? If this scene is photographed, Qin Tao and his Mingzhou Group will probably be targeted.

  After all, losers will always be sympathized with no matter where they are, and if there is any conspiracy theory involved, it will be easier to get stabbed in the spine.

Qin Tao doesn’t want to be slandered by others.

 “Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin…”

As several people shouted, Qin Tao fell down swaying, still shouting: "Wine, let's drink more!"

 Mr. Qin is drunk?

Several people carried Qin Tao and carried him back to the guest house. After the others left, Qin Tao sat up and said, "Old Zheng, give me a glass of water. I'm so thirsty."

Zheng Ming quickly came over with a glass of water: "Mr. Qin, you are really amazing! Is Dazhou Company going to go bankrupt now?"

“If they go bankrupt, what does it have to do with me? By the way, can the TV here receive our domestic programs? It’s time for Zhang Zhong to be on TV today.”

 “Well, let me try.”

Soon, Zhang Zhong appeared on TV and he had become a star.

"Today, we just received the news that the Novorossiysk of the Pacific Fleet was bought by Dazhou Company for 10 million, which caused a shock in the industry. Many companies protested to the Pacific Fleet about this matter. , we asked the famous military analyst Zhang Zhong to introduce it to all of us."

"Hello everyone." Zhang Zhong sat there, very naturally: "We can take a look at the content of the protest first. Last year, Dazhou Company obtained the Minsk through bidding. According to what was said at the time, it was to be dismantled into It was scrap metal, but it was never dismantled after it was towed back, so many people think that Dazhou Company wants to restore it into an aircraft carrier."

"So, could it be because Dazhou Company has not freed up manpower for the time being? We know that in the past year, Dazhou Company's operating conditions have not been very good, and workers have often gone on strike, demanding higher wages. Could it be that They can’t take care of dismantling for the time being?”

"Yes, Dazhou Company also stated this, but we can see that after the warship was towed back, it entered the dock and then set up scaffolding. We all know that for a shipyard, the dock It is very precious, and as soon as it goes in, it must be constructed as soon as possible. However, the Minsk stayed in the dock for a year and did not come out. For a normally operating shipyard, this is incomprehensible."

“They also said that they can build oil tankers of tens of tons. So, if it is really to build an aircraft carrier, they can build it themselves. There is no need to modify Lao Maozi’s decommissioned aircraft carrier. What do you think of this statement?”

"There are many countries in the world that can build oil tankers, but not many can build aircraft carriers, because the technologies required for the two are completely different. Apart from other things, not many countries in the world can build the steel needed for aircraft carriers. Production."

 Zhang Zhong said, raising his palms: "No more than five!"

"Now, the common view from the outside world is that Dazhou Company encountered difficulties when transforming this aircraft carrier. We know that this was originally a heavy-duty aircraft carrier, not an aircraft carrier. Now, if Dazhou Company wants to transform it, it must be in the front To build a jump deck, it is very likely that they will not be able to produce the corresponding deck steel, so they must purchase the Novorossiysk and use the steel on this warship to meet their transformation needs."

  Qin Tao looked at Zhang Zhong’s analysis. He has a nose and eyes. Not bad!

"However, the public is very discerning. In fact, Dazhou Company was already full of doubts when it first purchased the Minsk. If the warship was dismantled and sold for scrap, it would not exceed five million, but they It cost 80 million. And now this ship, the Novorossiysk, cost another 10 million. They will not do a loss-making business, so there must be monsters when things go against the norm."

“So, why didn’t Damao notice it in advance?”

"This makes us sigh with emotion. Since the collapse of the Red Empire, Mao's army has been in decline, and many of their spy satellites have become unusable. Otherwise, they would have discovered that the Minsk had not been dismantled. It is simply impossible to sell Novorossiysk to the same company."

This analysis is really good. I wonder what people from Dazhou Company will think when they see it?

The next day, before Qin Tao got up, there was another knock on the door.

Had I known it earlier, I would have had to change my place of residence!

 Outside, Pu Douxuan looked anxious.

“Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, please save our company!”

"Save? The person in charge of your company, Li Jinshan, wanted to hold me accountable yesterday. He said that I had lied to him and we had broken up on bad terms. Why did he come to beg me again today? I can't bear it. "

"No, our Mr. Li is very ashamed and regretful. He has been in a coma for a long time. When he woke up, he directed me to come to you to apologize."

 “Apologise? Are you asking for my help?”

“Yes, Mr. Qin, please help us!”

"How can I help? Well, seeing how sincere you are, I'll just ignore the villain."

“Mr. Qin, please help us lobby the senior management of the fleet to hand over the Novorossiysk to us as soon as possible.”

 “Well…”

“Mr. Qin, please help us!”

"Okay, I can go and talk to you, but as you know, this requires activity funds. Give me two million in activity funds first, and I will help you with the activities."

What? Two million? Pu Douxuan was dumbfounded.

"What? You don't want to have nothing, do you? How can I carry out activities without funds?" Qin Tao looked at the people in front of him dissatisfied: "Don't you understand this rule?"

 “Our company is at the end of its rope and has no money!”

 “No money? Without money, there is nothing we can do.”
