Chapter 488 Accidentally Became the God of Gamblers

  056 was also built very smoothly.

  Of course, since the number 055 has not been used yet, there is no official number 056 in the navy. Currently, it is called 666 in the shipyard or in the navy.

For such a frigate with a displacement of about 1,000 tons, Mingzhou Shipyard can safely launch it within a year. However, until the third day when Qin Tao returned to Mingzhou Shipyard, the frigate The No. 666 frigate was finally launched.

   There is no other reason, but simply because there is no time.

At the time of design, Yang Dawei and the others didn't take it seriously and procrastinated. When the navy's funds arrived, they started manufacturing. The berth was full. Although a track was reserved for No. 770, the construction workers also Insufficient!

  054 needs experienced workers, and some of them were withdrawn for submarine construction. Later, the progress was accelerated for a while, but as the aircraft carrier and cruiser returned to the shipyard, a large number of workers were withdrawn again.

  In the words of the navy, it means to whip the Mingzhou Group away with a whip.

   Now, it is already August of 1995, and less than two years have passed since that important moment. The Mingzhou Group has just launched this warship!

   This made a lot of people very dissatisfied. Especially the ones waiting to meet it.

  Many leaders came to the launching ceremony that day. Liu Wu, the leader of the Pearl of the Orient, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction face-to-face after seeing Qin Tao.

   "President Qin, although the displacement of this warship is not high, it is of great significance. It represents the new image of our navy. Your Mingzhou Group's airs are getting bigger and bigger, and you actually let us slow down."

  Liu Wu is really upset, the imminent matter, you are still procrastinating!

It’s only launched now. According to this progress, it will take a year or two for outfitting. The weapons and equipment that have just been delivered to the troops have no combat effectiveness. Even the naval officers are not familiar with the operation. They will be stationed in the new port. What if something happens? What about accidents?

   "We can't blame us for this." Qin Tao said: "We built it according to the appropriation given by the navy. If the appropriation from the navy is not in place, our project will not be fast!"

   As soon as these words came out, Liu Wu became dumb.

   This reason is really good.

  If you don’t pay, how can you work?

  Although the Mingzhou Group is very rich, it can’t keep giving money, right?

   "Not to mention the 666, the navy hasn't paid us even the money for the aircraft carrier's polishing." Qin Tao said: "Although our group has a big business, it won't work if we continue like this!"

Since the Dongfang Haicheng is not yet a naval order, it is still hung under the banner of Chuanglv Company, so the navy has delayed it first. Anyway, when Chuanglu Company just opened, it paid a lot of money. Just use that money first.

   Moreover, Qin Tao is also willing to pay for the repair of the aircraft carrier.

  However, 666 is different. A light frigate was originally handed over to the Mingzhou Group by the navy. Qin Tao didn't like it at all. If the money is not in place, how can he work hard for them.

   "Well, even if the money is not in place, this is a historic task. You must complete it on time, and you must not delay our use." Liu Wu said.

   "If the money is not in place, we can't guarantee it. How about giving this ship to other brother units for outfitting?"

  For Qin Tao's irresponsible words, Liu Wu was very speechless, but there was nothing he could do.

   "The navy is short of money now, Mr. Qin, you should carry forward your style." Seeing Qin Tao's uncooperative appearance, another leader on the side said.

  Qin Tao smiled. On the one hand, the navy’s funds are not in place, and on the other hand, he values ​​things differently. This ship No. 666 is indeed very important. It is to show the face of the navy, but can face be eaten?

   Comparing face, strength is more important! Therefore, he couldn't wait to transform the No. 1.38 million-ton destroyer. The most important thing was to let this warship participate in next year's operations.

  So, No. 666 can only be delayed. Even if the funds are in place, the manpower is still insufficient. How can there be so many people.

  After next year, it would be no small feat to send a group of people over to complete the outfitting.

  However, I have to find something for these people to do, so as not to keep staring at myself.

  Qin Tao rolled his eyes and had an idea.

"Leaders, you can't let the horses run and let the horses eat grass, right? Your lack of money is your business, and it has nothing to do with us. In short, we need money to work, even if you scold me I am an unscrupulous businessman without patriotism, and I admit it."

  Everyone smiled wryly, Qin Tao is not patriotic? Then there will be no second patriotic person to come. The development of the navy and even the development of the aviation force all depend on Qin Tao.

  However, when Qin Tao said this, he made it clear that he would not make it without paying.

   "For you, it seems to be a very difficult thing. In fact, if you change your thinking, it is relatively simple."

  Change thinking, simple?

  Everyone looked at Qin Tao curiously: "How?"

   "Sell the decommissioned frigates of our navy, won't you make money if you sell them?"

   I thought what kind of plan Qin Tao would come up with, but it turned out to be his own seller!

  The faces of the big guys are a little ugly.

  New three years, old three years, sewing and mending for three years, everyone is used to living like this, a broken house is worth a million dollars, so how can you be willing to sell it?

   Besides, can you sell the Navy’s possessions? Who can see it?

   "Mr. Qin, please explain in detail." A leader said, this is purely a kind of respect for Qin Tao.

"At present, our navy has begun to receive 054 frigates. The previous frigates are too old and must be gradually phased out. It is not cost-effective to dismantle these eliminated frigates and sell them as scrap iron. I suggest that they be decommissioned After dismantling some of the key equipment, the frigate that came down was sold to the coast guard."

When the People's Republic of China was just founded, due to the lack of awareness of the ocean, it was not at all interested in the police work at sea. It was not until July 1964, when the State Oceanic Administration was formally established, that there was a professional ocean management unit. However, at first it was still Managed by the Navy.

  In 1978, with the spring breeze of reform, the ocean situation has undergone major changes. The ocean needs to strengthen comprehensive management, and ocean development and utilization activities need to strengthen overall coordination. At the same time, the "National Marine Environmental Protection Law" was drafted. In order to defend this law, a fleet of maritime patrol surveillance was formed.

  In the same year, the navy transferred some people to form a maritime public security patrol team.

  Including the patrol team of the fishery administration unit, there are a total of three police units,

  These three police officers were merged into the Armed Police Headquarters, and the Sea Patrol Brigade was also assigned to it.

   This continued until 1988, when the Maritime Public Security Patrol was renamed the Maritime Police, under the leadership of the Public Security Frontier Defense. As a maritime armed law enforcement force directly led by the Public Security Bureau, it is mainly responsible for safeguarding the sovereignty of the country's territorial waters and maritime rights and interests, exercising the power of state administration, maintaining law and order at sea, and serving economic construction and development.

  Its mission is the same as the coast guards of other countries.

Therefore, from this point of view, the Coast Guard and Customs are not the same department. However, since they are the police at sea, it is of course their bounden duty to combat smuggling. They do not know how many smuggling gangs they have cracked down on. Rise up for police duty.

   This also means that the Coast Guard has a lot of money on hand!

   "Sell it to the coast guard?" Hearing Qin Tao's suggestion, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Our Type 01 frigates were all decommissioned last year. However, this kind of warship uses steam turbines and needs to burn boilers. The maritime police must not like it." The leaders present have already analyzed: "As for the Type 65 frigates, they all belong to the Southern Fleet. They are like treasures, and they are reluctant. The most suitable one for us is 053K!"

   "Is that meritorious ship 531? Wouldn't it be a pity if it was sold to the Coast Guard?" Someone raised an objection.

  After the Type 65 frigate, there was the 053K. At that time, the navy was in urgent need of air defense force, so this kind of frigate was specially designed as an air defense frigate. It was planned to carry the famous Hongqi-61 air defense missile.

  It's a pity that this kind of missile was in a difficult period of production, so that it was finally installed on warships in the late 1980s. By that time, it was already outdated.

   Two warships of the same type were produced, with hull numbers 531 and 532. The second ship had a serious collision accident, which led to its withdrawal from active service early. Only No. 531 was just retired last year.

   If it is suitable, only this No. 531 is the most suitable, but this is a meritorious frigate that has participated in the southern sea battle!

  According to the original plan, after the warship is decommissioned, it will be exhibited in the Naval Museum as a testimony of the navy's achievements. After all, in the navy's sequence, there are not many warships that have participated in battles.

   If you sell it to the coast guard to make money, wouldn't you also sell your honor?

"It's not my concern to sell any warships, but as long as you can sell one or two, you should be able to raise enough money for outfitting. If you want to see this warship enter service as soon as possible, you have to think about it." way to raise money.”

  At this time, Qin Tao felt like Huang Shiren. The navy is like Yang Bailao, in order to raise money, he needs to sell his daughter.

   "Hey, it would be great if our navy had the money-making ability of your Mingzhou Group. Even your green company is so rich."

   "How did Chuanglv Company get rich? We are almost bankrupt." Qin Tao said.

  According to Qin Tao's plan, the Dongfang Haicheng has already been obtained, and with the gradual modification, it will always reveal the true face of Lushan Mountain. At this time, it is necessary to get rid of the golden cicada and let Chuanglv Company go bankrupt.

"What bankruptcy, what's the name of the person in charge of your Chuanglv Company... Vitalia's, now she has become the Goddess of Gamblers in Magang, she can make millions just by going around the market, How could it be bankrupt."

What?

  Qin Tao's eyes widened in surprise.

  At the beginning, Vitalia came to join Qin Tao. According to Qin Tao's statement, Vitalia came to find a way out.

  Come to the east and create a green company together. It was originally a simple project, and the green company is just a shell.

  Who would have thought that Green Ventures would be farther and farther away from bankruptcy? how so?

   "Leaders, the time has come." Qin Baoshan interrupted everyone's conversation: "Now, can our warship be launched?"

   "Of course." Liu Wu became excited again, and we will talk about raising money later. Now, they are here to participate in the launching ceremony of No. 666.

   "This warship is painted white, it looks very pure like a girl." One person sighed: "It's much better than our previous navy gray!"

   "That's right, our Pearl of the Orient's naval equipment must have this eye-catching color."

   Everyone is already familiar with the appearance of this warship. This stealth appearance looks very tall, and it is even more conspicuous after it is matched with white paint.

  Qin Tao smiled: "Everyone, this is not just for eye-catching. This is a special coating for naval ships specially developed by our domestic relevant departments. Our No. 666 is the first warship to enjoy this coating."

  Is there any knowledge about this paint?

   Everyone is curious.

  However, the launch ceremony will be held first. As the user representative, Liu Wu is personally responsible for the action of smashing the bottle. There is no need for a special rope to hang it. He can directly throw the bottle and the bow of the ship will overflow with hops.

  During the lively ceremony, No. 666, like several other warships, went backwards into the water, amidst the splashing waves, everyone applauded.

  Although the displacement is not large, this warship is of great significance!

  At this time, a dark cloud covered the sun. In the sight of everyone, the appearance of No. 666 waiting for outfitting began to gradually change. It was originally white, but now it seems to be slightly turning gray! .

   "Is it a chameleon?" A leader said in surprise.

"Yes, it can be said that under strong sunlight, this kind of warship will appear bright white, and when the light is not strong, it will appear dark gray, especially on the sea line, this color is very close to the background The color tone can be integrated with the sea skyline."

   "It's amazing!" Everyone present sighed with emotion.

   Needless to say, just the paint, so arrogant!

   "Actually, discoloration is secondary, and it can also be said to be an unexpected gain. When the relevant departments are researching this kind of coating, the first consideration is to absorb radar waves."

   Absorb radar waves?

  Everyone opened their eyes wide again.

  Speaking of stealth devices, they are definitely the most advanced things in this era. They are all invisible on airplanes and warships.

  In addition to the shape design, the stealth coating is also crucial.

  Experts have developed many different types of absorbing coatings, hoping to choose the most suitable one.

Several types have been developed now, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, ferrite absorbing coatings are cheap, but the absorption effect is not high; carbonyl iron absorbing coatings have strong absorption capacity, but large surface density; is absolutely inappropriate. Applying a layer, the result is that the weight of the aircraft has increased by half a ton or even a ton, which is absolutely not worth the loss. But there is no problem on the warship.

  The wave-absorbing paint for aircraft is still under development, but it already exists for warships. In the past, warships in the East only had a tall and stealthy shape, but there was no related paint. Now it is finally making up for this gap.

   Moreover, the current paint also has the property of discoloration, which is an unexpected harvest.

  The tugboat started to tow the launched No. 666 to the outfitting dock. The vacated berth will be used to build the next foreign trade frigate.

Everyone also came to the outfitting pier, boarded this warship that had not yet been outfitted, and was deeply moved by its beautiful appearance. After this warship arrived at the Pearl of the Orient, it would definitely become the most eye-catching presence there. !

  Qin Tao had a good time accompanying the leaders. After dark, he stayed with the leaders for dinner. Some leaders even stayed in the guest house of Mingzhou Group for one night.

  After seeing off the leaders, Qin Tao also embarked on the road to Magang.

   "Is Vitalia really that amazing? Is there something behind this?" On the way, Qin Tao asked Xu Zhengyang a series of questions.

   As Qin Tao's secretary, Xu Zhengyang is very qualified. He immediately handed Qin Tao the materials that he had compiled overnight, and at the same time, gave a brief introduction.

"Many of these things are not clear. In the beginning, perhaps Mr. He did instruct him to take care of her, but later on, Vitalia made more and more money, and it was impossible for her to win all the time. Moreover, the identities of the people who confront Vitalia are getting higher and higher, and the side of the jam must be impartial, but Vitalia can win almost every time, and after winning, she can still win. He retreats completely, does not love to fight, and often only plays one or two games. Over time, he got such a nickname."

In fact, Xu Zhengyang, the secretary, has a lot of work to do, so he can't cover everything. He only started sorting out the information last night. After sorting out, he came to a conclusion that made him feel emotional: certain people, Really talented.

Of course, there is one more important thing: Vitalia's backstage is tough, no one dares to mess with it, if other people enter the blocking field and win money, it is impossible to bring the money back, and stop blocking, How can I leave after losing everything.

   But who dares to mess with Vitalia? Seeing what happened to the first boss who provoked Vitalia back then, you have to stop.

   "Oh, Vitalia really caused me a lot of trouble." Qin Tao also felt emotional.

It is impossible for Qin Tao to take Vitalia with him all the time. After the Dongfang Haidu came back, Qin Tao and Vitalia separated. Vitalia could not always pester Qin Tao, so he put his energy He was eating, drinking and having fun, and in the end, he accidentally became a gambler?

  With such emotions, Qin Tao came to Magang, and first went to the headquarters of Chuanglv Company. Several employees there were working listlessly.

   "Where's Mr. Wei?"

"Wei always sleeps. She sleeps during the day and plays at night." An employee said casually. , and suddenly stood up from the chair.

   "President Qin, welcome. President Qin, please go to the VIP room, and I'll make you a cup of coffee." The employee said nervously.

  President Qin!

Although it can't be seen from the outside, there have been various rumors that their Chuanglv Company has shares in Mingzhou Group, and the relationship between Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group and Vitaria, the boss of their Chuanglv Group, is very close. than usual.

  President Qin came, but they were actually neglected.

   "Okay." Qin Tao nodded and walked to the VIP room.

Not long after, Vitalia ran over excitedly: "Qin, you are here! During your absence, I was so bored, I found some men to play with, and soon got tired of it After that, I can only go to the crowd to join in the fun, but I am very restrained, I only play one or two games at a time, who would have thought that they would always let me!"

   let you?

  Qin Tao was also very speechless to Vitalia's statement. Who would give in to a female gambler?

  Luck is one thing, skill is another, and the most important thing is that Vitalia is not greedy for money, she just went there with the mentality of playing.

   Greed is the most important reason why gamblers lose money.

   At this time, Qin Tao continued to ask with infinite emotion in his heart, "Then how much money do you have now?"

"It's not much. Every time I take tens of thousands to play, if I'm lucky, I can earn a few million back. Now, it's probably several billion. I haven't counted it. Qin, you If needed, this money can be given to you at any time, anyway, it was won with the company's money."

   Billions!

   Even if Vitalia is talking about Hong Kong dollars, there are hundreds of millions of RMB, more than 100 million U.S. dollars. This Vitalia is really amazing!

   "However, I have recently felt that blocking the field is not interesting. I evened out the 15K, which is interesting."

What? 15K was settled by Vitalia?

  He lost money at the beginning, okay? If you play like this, you will have a bad reputation in the world!

  Qin Tao was speechless: "How did you do it?"

"Just as you taught me, I shipped some things back from China and sold them to some people who couldn't get along in the Pearl of the Orient, and let them come to Magang for development. Then, they had a conflict with 15K. I But it really didn't do anything!"

  Qin Tao's head is a little big, you are playing with fire, you think it's fun, what about the future? In the future, our security work will be in trouble!

  However, Qin Tao still held back his anger, after all he has no right to criticize this elder sister.

   "Did someone die? Don't leave any trouble." Qin Tao could only ask in this way.

"Of course, the head exploded, just like smashing a watermelon with a fist." Vitalia said: "I was looking for men to play with in a nearby hotel at the time, and I saw it all with my own eyes. It was so interesting. "

   Come on, a Pandora's box has been opened, and it will not be easy to close the devil in the future.

   "As you get richer and richer, we can't proceed with the follow-up issues of the green innovation company we plan!" Qin Tao continued to worry.

   Originally planned to go bankrupt, but now the boss of the company has become a **** of gamblers, how could it go bankrupt?

   Output all at once? Of course not, it would be bad for Vitalia's reputation!

"Our company is rich, so we can't look down on that broken ship, can't it?" Vitalia said: "Or, when the ship was being rebuilt, something happened. After our company's evaluation, for the sake of safety , decided to abandon that ship."

   It's not that our company has a problem and we can't afford it, but that our company doesn't like it!

   Replied to dozens of book reviews, only one seems to be successful. . .
