Chapter 428 The results of waiting for the rabbit

“Baby, come here, let your godmother take a look.” Vitalia picked up the swaddled baby in the shipyard guest house.

Although Qin Tao has a house in the family courtyard and a small courtyard in Qin Baoshan, they are not as comfortable as a guest house. Therefore, Zhao Ling stayed directly in the guest house every time she came back. This time with her children, she stayed directly in the guest house. Come in.

Vitalia was of course arranged to stay in the guest house, next to the room where Zhao Ling lived.

 At this time, Vitalia was holding the baby and was very happy.

The nanny Zhao Ling brought back was busy cleaning the room. Zhao Ling looked at Vitalia with a smile: "Weina, I heard that you were frightened in Ma'an Harbor."

"No, at that time, we could have just driven over, but Qin said that he would stay and let the situation escalate. Later, he was satisfied. They paid us a large sum of money." Speaking of this, Vitalia was very happy. Excited, but later, I went to tease the children again.

 “It’s great to have a child.”

“Vitalia, it’s time for you to find a man to marry.”

"I think so too, but you also know the situation in our circle. Even if you get married, it's just multiple certificates. You don't know whose bed you will sleep in. Oriental men are better. By the way, the child's name is what name?"

 “Qin Haitao.”

"This name is not domineering enough." Vitalia shook her head: "He should be called Wang. The rules here seem to require that the Chinese character in the middle cannot be moved. In that case, how about calling him King Qin Hai?"

"Sea King, what do you think? From now on, we will be the kings of the sea!" Vitalia hugged Qin Haitao and said in not very fluent Chinese: "Did you see it? He smiled. He smiled, which means he also likes this. name."

 At the door, Qin Tao stood there, the muscles on his cheeks twitching.

 Aquaman? How could you have such a name? You probably don’t know that this name is ambiguous, right?

 “Are you back?” Zhao Ling looked up and saw Qin Tao, her face suddenly smiled like a flower.

“Well, I’m back.” Qin Tao said, “I originally planned to ask Zhengyang to pick you up, but I didn’t expect you to come so early.”

"Well, this year's scientific research project is not very intense. It's useless for us to be anxious anyway. We have to wait for the technological breakthroughs of our brother units, so we have plenty of time." Zhao Ling said, "By the way, Wei Na named the child Neptune. You feel…"

(Some readers earlier complained about it too early. I remember that I got pregnant during the last Spring Festival, right? It was written in the autumn of the next year. Isn’t it appropriate to be pregnant for ten months? The baby is now about three or four months old, so Able to walk back and forth.)

 The muscles on Qin Tao's face twitched again.

“Qin, what do you think of this name?” Vitalia came over with the child in her arms and asked Qin Tao.

“No, the Sea King is a helicopter, and I am a shipbuilder.” Qin Tao rejected it directly.

"Okay." During this period of time, Vitalia was constantly being denied by Qin Tao, so she was used to it.

“Xiao Ling, Wei Na, come here and give you something delicious.” Qin Tao took out a paper bag from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling opened the paper bag and found small milky white pieces inside, so she happily picked up a piece and put it first in Vitalia's mouth, and then put another piece in her own mouth.

"What is this? Candy?" Vitalia chewed something in her mouth and felt it was very special. The more she chewed, the stronger it became.

“Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. It’s Xiaonian here. Here we need to eat this kind of candy. On the 23rd, sugar melon is sticky.” Zhao Ling said, with the expression on her face like a child.

Vitalia nodded, then took a puff, and actually blew out a bubble the size of a broad bean: "It seems to be very similar to our bubble gum."

However, the bubble gum will not melt no matter how much you chew it, and the piece of candy in your mouth will become smaller and smaller the more you chew it. Finally it disappeared.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.”

“No need, let’s go back.” Qin Tao said.

This place belongs to the south after all, there is no biting cold current from Siberia, it is just a little damp and cold.

 The yard of the Qin family became lively.

Vitalia also started making dumplings herself. This was not the first time she had done this kind of work, and the dumplings she made were impressive.

Cao Yuru was rolling out dough and busy cooking while talking to everyone. When she saw Qin Tao coming over, they started chatting about business matters.

“Our garment factory has completed preparations for expansion of production. Now we are waiting for the sales of the first batch of goods. If the sales are good, we will start full-scale production.”

“Don’t worry, you can’t go wrong. For the people there, they don’t have to eat, but they can’t live without suits. Our eight wolves men’s clothing will definitely be very popular in the Rainbow Country.”

“Yes, I would rather eat instant noodles every day, or wear a suit.” Zhao Ling added at the side.

 Qin Tao shook his head, his wife was wrong.

“No, Xiaoling, you don’t know the situation there. For them, instant noodles are a delicacy, and those who can eat instant noodles are rich people.”

Zhao Ling was stunned for a while.

 Creak! The door opened.

"Old Qin, close the door quickly and don't let the air conditioner in." Cao Yuru quickly greeted Qin Baoshan.

Qin Baoshan immediately closed the door quickly, walked to the side, sat on the mahogany chair, and picked up the newspaper on the side.

“Old Qin, don’t be idle there. Go and fill the pot with water and put it on the gas stove. We’ll be making dumplings soon.”

Qin Baoshan could only stand up.

“Aunt Cao, let me go.” The nanny said enthusiastically.

“No, just take good care of Haitao. You don’t need to worry about the rest.”

Qin Tao looked at his father's back and sighed in his heart. In the past few years, his father has changed a lot. In the past, he would only eat when the rice was put on the table and the chopsticks were put on the bowl. Now, actually, Can you turn on a gas stove?

 It’s rare.

I guess it’s for the grandson’s sake?

The room was very lively, and soon the steaming dumplings came out of the pot.

"What is this for?" Vitalia looked at Cao Yuru curiously, and saw her respectfully putting a dumpling into a bowl and placing it next to the stove. She clasped her hands together and muttered something.

 “Give an offering to the Stove Lord.”

 “Kitchen Lord?”

 “Well, our Eastern folk customs.”

Vitalia opened her eyes wide.

 At this moment, Big Brother’s voice sounded in the room.

Qin Tao pressed the answer button and put it to his ear, and then his expression changed.

“Really, come sooner or later, but come at this time! Let them come to Mingzhou Shipyard!”

"What's going on?" Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao's unhappy expression and asked worriedly.

“Weina, we have to work tomorrow to receive the third person who comes to sell aircraft carriers.”

Vitalia nodded: "Okay, where did they come from?"

 “Ermao, Black Sea Shipyard.”

 Qin Tao was overjoyed and waited for the rabbit to finally arrive!

On the twenty-fourth of the twelfth lunar month, Makarov and Asnayev once again set foot on the eastern land and came to the Mingzhou Shipyard.

“Everyone, welcome to Mingzhou. I’m very sorry that I made your trip to Magang in vain.” Qin Tao expressed his apology to the guests in the warm guest house conference room.

"It's our fault for this. We didn't consider your customs and habits. It's a bit inappropriate to come during your most important festival. However, it is precisely because of this that we can finally confirm that Green Venture Company and Mingzhou The group is connected. We feel relieved."

Asnayev looked at Vitalia next to Qin Tao with a smile on his face.

The green company that appeared in Ma Gang attracted global attention before it opened. After that, it shocked people with its high compensation. At that time, Makarov wanted to come here to promote the green company's conditions. , simply formulated specifically for them.

However, Asnayev did not act immediately. Instead, he observed silently and did not come until the company closed during the New Year. Then, he was brought here.

Sure enough, Vitalia, the head of the Green Innovation Company, was by Qin Tao's side, which finally reassured him.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, we think it is most appropriate for Varyag to be sold to you." Makarov said: "If it can gain new life through sea blockage, it can be considered a good destination. "

Regret, I really regret it, why did you ask for such a high price in the first place? Otherwise, it can be used as Ah San’s aircraft carrier.

However, Makarov's words didn't count at that time. The government needed to make a decision. When the government saw Asan coming, they thought he was a fat sheep and had to kill him severely.

The results of it?

Ah San found that the two-haired lion opened his mouth and said he would not buy anything.

Since we can no longer find a second buyer, we can only dispose of it as scrap iron. Compared with dismantling and selling scrap iron, it is already very good as a marine blocking site.

“Currently, we already have promotions from France and the United States. Whether your Varyag is suitable for us must be carefully studied by us,” Vitalia said.

 Everyone in the conference room can speak Russian, so we might as well just communicate in Russian.

At this time, after hearing Vitalia's words, Makarov's expression turned ugly again.

 “The United States also promoted it to you?”

“That’s right, it’s an aircraft carrier that has just been retired by the United States.” Vitalia said: “We plan to make a decision after the Chinese New Year. You came at the right time. How much do you plan to sell this aircraft carrier for?”

Qin Tao had a smile on his face. Vitalia is indeed a veteran in business!

“We plan to sell it for $50 million.”

"Fifty million? This is impossible. The prices given by the other two customers are much lower than yours." Vitalia said: "Although we all lived under the same banner, now, since we are When talking about business, you have to talk about business matters. Your aircraft carrier is considered expensive if it exceeds five million."

If it were based on the price of scrap iron, it would indeed not be sold for several million. However, when Vitalia said the word five million, Makarov still couldn't accept it.

“This price is too low and cannot be accepted in our country.” Makarov felt a little uncomfortable.

"Then let it stay in your shipyard and continue to rust. In the future, it may not be sold for two million." Vitalia's mouth is really powerful.

As a result, the meeting ended in silence.

"Mr. Qin, you have visited Varyag several times. You should know that it is a powerful aircraft carrier that once placed our hopes on it." Makarov looked at Qin Tao: "Now, we I hope it will find a good home and please give me a suitable price.”

The person opposite has white hair and is covered in dust. At this moment, he looks extremely old.

"Mr. Makarov, for your sake, we can raise the price, but 20 million is the highest price we can offer." Qin Tao said, "This is also our sincerity. If you agree to this If you don't agree with the price, then we can trade immediately. If we don't agree, then we can only say sorry."

Vitalia looked at Qin Tao with some surprise. She didn’t know why the sinister Qin Tao suddenly changed his gender this time and showed off his demeanor to extort the 88.88 million US dollars!

The old man Makarov in front of him is quite pitiful. Vitalia has also heard about the Black Sea Shipyard, but as a businessman, he must not be compassionate.

 Let’s talk about business in business.

"Okay, Mr. Qin, since you have given the approval, we will go back and report to our superiors based on the amount of 20 million. If the superiors can approve it, then we will trade immediately." Asnayev said.

“Okay, I’ll wait for your good news.” Qin Tao stood up and shook hands with the other party.

Makarov also stood up. He felt very heavy and looked outside through the window.

 The busy slipways, docks, and various ships are being built constantly. This scene is so familiar! Their Black Sea Shipyard used to be such a busy scene.

What now?

At this moment, a warship attracted his attention. The hull line is very beautiful, and the waterline is retracted inward, forming a beautiful stealth design.

"Mr. Makarov, what are you looking at?" Qin Tao asked curiously. When he followed his gaze, Qin Tao had a smile on his face: "What is being produced over there is the new generation of our navy. Frigate."

There is no need to cover up this thing. Submarines that need to be kept secret are produced in closed workshops and cannot be seen by satellites in outer space.

The 054 frigates can be viewed casually. After all, not only are they used by themselves, they have also been sold out in batches.

"Frigate? I visually judged that its displacement is close to four thousand tons, right?" Makarov asked.

"Yes."

Makarov had doubts in his eyes: "Isn't your domestic destroyer No. 112 also with a displacement of about 4,000 tons?"

 Why is that kind called a destroyer and this kind a frigate?

"There are many differences. For example, this frigate is powered by four diesel engines and has a maximum speed of only 25 knots. The destroyer can reach a speed of more than 30 knots. The weapon configuration is also different. If you are interested, I will ask someone to take you. Go check it out.”

 “Can I go and see it?”

"Of course, Zhengyang, take Mr. Makarov to the slipway. Pay attention to protect Mr. Makarov's safety. Don't get on the scaffolding or fall off."

“Yes.” Xu Zhengyang immediately accepted the order.

 Makarov left excitedly.

"Vitalia, do you want to go and take a look too? I'm afraid Zhengyang can't watch him. This old man wants to climb up and take a look when he sees the warship."

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Vitalia didn't hesitate: "Of course. If he dares to do something dangerous, I will tell him that the transaction is cancelled."

Vitalia also left, leaving only two people in the conference room.

"Mr. Asnayev, we can talk again." Qin Tao looked at the people who stayed: "How much activity funds do you need?"

Asnayev suddenly felt excited.

"If it is sold at the price of 50 million we have planned, it will not require any activity funds, but now, if you want to buy it for 20 million, you will need at least 5 million."

 Five million in activity funds is enough? Qin Tao looked at Asnayev: "I will give you 10 million, all of which will be transferred to the Moscow International Commercial Bank account. I don't want any problems to occur. Moreover, in order for the modification to go smoothly, we hope to get a full set of design drawings .”

 “Okay, I will definitely arrange this deal.” Asnayev nodded.

The most important transaction has just begun. After Qin Tao's preparation, Ermao came to the door twice, which shows that many people in their government have acquiesced.

However, Qin Tao knows that these expenses are nothing. This is just the beginning. If this transaction continues, there will be various difficulties waiting for them.

The worst case scenario is to use money to pave the way. There is already 70 million lying on the accounts of the Green Venture Company in Ma Gang. With this money, do you still worry about being able to drag the Varyag over?

 Qin Tao looked outside.

The 054 frigate under construction on the slipway is so eye-catching, especially when looking down from space, you can see the reserved position for the vertical launcher in front of it, and you can feel the power of this warship even more.

However, this is just the beginning. The scenery of this 054 warship will soon be replaced by warships with four-sided phased array radar. In the future, larger warships will be built in the dock here, including Aircraft carrier!

 Makarov has arrived in front of 054.

In the past, he would never have looked at this kind of warship of several thousand tons, because their Black Sea Shipyard built aircraft carriers, but now, the modern warship in front of him made him full of emotions.

Since the collapse of the Red Empire, no matter whether it is Da Mao or Er Mao, no new warships have been built, but here, advanced warships are being built one after another.

051C is a professional anti-aircraft destroyer, but because it is a direct copy of the land-based S-300, it will be scorned by others. However, the one in front of you is different. This warship did not purchase any materials provided by Damao Ermao. The parts are all made by the Orientals themselves. This majestic warship represents the arrival of a new era.

 Makarov is envious.

“You Mingzhou Group are really amazing.” Makarov said with emotion and planned to climb the scaffolding.

 “I’m sorry, you can’t go up.”

 “You only have to take one step up and our deal will be cancelled.”

 Sure enough, Vitalia’s words still work.

Makarov could only stay where he was, looking up at the warship.

“I heard that it is powered by four diesel engines?”

“Yes, this is our original combination of diesel and diesel, which transmits power to the propeller after merging.”

“There are also vertical anti-aircraft missiles in front?”

“Yes, vertical launch can better face maritime threats and is the future trend.”

 Makarov was left with nothing but envy.

That evening, after having a dinner at the Mingzhou Shipyard, Makarov finally left reluctantly.

"Mr. Makarov, if you like it here, you are welcome to live here permanently, or you can stay here, just like Azar and the others."

 Qin Tao extended an invitation.

Makarov shook his head: "I am too old to work anymore, and I don't want to leave the shipyard where I have worked all my life."

 After saying that, he opened the car door and got in.

 The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

 As the New Year gets closer and closer, the smell of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. There are crackling firecrackers outside and the smell of sulfur in the air.

Vitalia held a stick of incense in her hand, put it to her mouth and blew on it. Then, she tentatively stretched out to the two-legged twister placed on the ground. However, even after stretching out twice, she did not give up the twister. Light.

At this moment, Qin Tao came over: "Give it to me!"

Vitalia watched in surprise as Qin Tao took the two kickers on the ground in his hand, and then took the incense with his other hand, facing the twister.

The twister burst into flames, and Vitalia subconsciously took two steps back, watching Qin Tao stretch out the hand holding the two kickers.

 Boom, bang!

 The gunpowder pushed by the two kicks pushed the contents inside, first to the ground, and after hitting the ground, it was rebounded to the sky and exploded in the sky.

Vitalia's face was full of envy: "Qin, you are so brave!"

"China is one of the four ancient civilizations, and gunpowder is one of its inventions. However, we use gunpowder to make firecrackers, and foreigners use gunpowder to make weapons. As a result, our own invention opened the door to our country." Qin Tao said: "Now, we have advanced weapons."

In fact, this is not correct. After gunpowder became available, the country was also in trouble. When Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world, the most elite Guan Ning cavalry used three-eyed fire blunderbuss. The braided soldiers in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties also used firearm.

 However, due to inadequate metallurgy and other technologies, the power of firearms was incomparable to those in the West. The technology of gunpowder also gradually fell behind.

 If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

In the house, Zhao Ling hugged Haiyang and looked outside through the window: "Haiyang, do you see it? Your father and your godmother are setting off firecrackers. Haiyang will be one year older soon."

While speaking, two more people came in from the outside. Seeing the familiar figure, Zhao Ling was stunned at first, and then smiled: "Ocean, have you seen it? Grandma and grandpa are here."

At this time, Qin Tao was about to fire the second one. He had a rare free time. When he heard the footsteps behind him, Qin Tao shouted: "People behind, be careful, I'm going to fire the cannon."

“This is not enough, three of them together are enough.” A voice came from behind.

Qin Tao turned around and looked over, and was immediately stunned: "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

This is illogical. Even if the father-in-law and mother-in-law care about their grandson very much, they have never heard of a son-in-law coming to his house just before the Chinese New Year?

“You kid, what are you talking about? We can’t come?” Wu Shengli’s eyes widened.

Zhao Xiu'e pulled her husband: "Lao Wu, don't talk to Taozi like that. Taozi, your father is like this. We are passing by to see our grandson and we will leave tomorrow."
