Chapter 528 Seven of the eight boilers exploded?

“Well, this car is not bad.” Qin Tao jumped out of the car and said to Radujika: “Our Mingzhou Group bought it! However, transportation is also a problem.”

It is definitely inconvenient to move such a huge vehicle along the road. Even the railway is absolutely over-wide and over-height, making it difficult to transport.

"Mr. Qin, didn't you say you want to replace it with a new engine?" Radujika said: "After replacing the engine, you can drive all the way there. We have a good relationship with Damao and we can help you smoothen the relationship. Let you drive to Da Mao’s territory and then drive back.”

 Drive all the way back?

 Qin Tao glanced at Radujika with dissatisfaction. Your idea is really bold, but is it possible?

 This is definitely a joke!

The straight-line distance is six thousand kilometers, but it is impossible for a vehicle to travel in a straight line on the ground. Driving all the way back from Baimao would take at least eight thousand or even ten thousand kilometers!

This will seriously consume the life of the vehicle. If used normally, the vehicle will be short-lived in the shipyard. It is estimated that it can be driven for ten years!

 Chin Tao is reluctant to part with him.

“It can only be transported by land. Such a big thing cannot be transported by plane.” Mikhailov also came up to talk.

"How is it impossible?" Qin Tao looked at Mikhailov with a smile: "Our Mingzhou Group has transport planes. As long as we contact the airport, we can transport these two big guys back at any time."

 This is the advantage of having your own transport plane!

The cargo hold of the An-225 is large enough to transport these two big guys back, and there is even a certain amount of space left!

 Wait a minute, isn’t this an excuse?

Qin Tao said to himself: "If we only transport these two vehicles, our warehouse space will be wasted. It would be great if we could transport more things back!"

Radujika was overjoyed: "Mr. Qin, our Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant manufactures heavy-duty vehicles. We have many types of vehicles to choose from. You must have needs, and you can buy a few more."

 Mingzhou Group is very good, you can definitely buy more things back!

Qin Tao shook his head: "We are shipbuilders, not cars. We are not very interested in your other things. However, I guess our army will be interested. There will be a defense exhibition in our country next month. Do you want to participate?"

“Defense exhibition?” Radujika heard this for the first time: “You want to hold such an exhibition?”

"Yes, we held it ten years ago, and it was very successful. Now, we want to continue to hold it. The big guys produced by the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant can definitely go to the exhibition, and there is no need for travel expenses. Don't worry about it, it's no problem to take our transport plane." Qin Tao started to fool around: "And if our military likes it, maybe they can buy it on the spot, so you don't have to worry about the travel expenses back. , after all, our army needs these big guys."

 Radujika's eyes lit up.

Although the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant can produce a lot of vehicles, it inherited the characteristics of the Red Empire era and took a rough and durable route. Therefore, after the collapse of the Red Empire, their business was not good.

 Vehicles made in the West have beautiful appearance, beautiful interior, comfortable ride, and most importantly, they are fuel-efficient! The Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant does not do much business.

 The traditional export target for these military vehicles is Da Mao, and only Da Mao can purchase multi-axis launch vehicles like this. But, what a poor man! With Damao's current strength, it is impossible to allocate funds to continue purchasing such multi-axis launch vehicles.

In this way, the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant is very embarrassed.

 They need to find new customers!

 Looking at the whole world, the West does not want it, and only the East has this demand, and is even the only user!

 The East does not have a large number of ballistic missile nuclear submarines, nor does it have missile trains. The East's mobile combat power mainly consists of land-based vehicles. However, due to poor technical strength, it can only use trailers.

Therefore, if the East wants to develop a secondary nuclear strike force for rapid counterattack in the future, wheeled launch vehicles are the best choice!

 Sell these vehicles to the East and make money!

Radujika nodded vigorously: "Yes, we are willing to participate in the Eastern Exhibition, but we can't fit much into the An-225 transport aircraft, right?"

 Weight is not an issue, the key is volume!

"We can stuff as many as we can." Qin Tao said, "We can stack Arhats on top of each other."

These people must have never seen how trucks were delivered in later generations. Below is a heavy truck with a chassis of four fronts and eight rears. You can carry another heavy truck with four fronts and eight rears. Just remove the tires. On top of this truck, you can carry another tractor unit. Three trucks per person. All right.

The purpose of traveling like this is to save shipping costs. Now Qin Tao’s suggestion is of course also to save travel expenses. It’s not worth flying twice!

This kind of MAZ-7907 is hinged in the middle and can be completely disassembled. Then remove the tires from the rear part and put it in the front to stack the Arhat, thus saving half the space.

 Radujika nodded: "Okay!"

 Having been tinkering for a long time, it’s only busy outside and hasn’t entered the factory yet.

 After entering, people are even more amazed at Lao Maozi's rough style.

"This is the first product after the establishment of our Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant." Radujika pointed to a large forklift-like equipment in front of him and said: "The original version was just an ordinary MAZ-528 tractor. However, we are always upgrading our technology and the current model is now in its final version and can traverse swamps and climb steep slopes. It also comes with different add-ons to chop down trees, dig trenches, shovel earth or tow heavy loads. Things etc.”

 This is the tractor being used to its extreme!

“You are still producing it now?” Qin Tao asked.

 Radujika nodded: "Yes, it is still the key product in our production line."

 It hasn’t been updated for decades! The old Jiefang in China has been thrown into the garbage heap of history. The car in front of me is still in production. Should it be praised or belittled?

"We modified this tractor and turned it into a truck. This is also the development process of our Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant." Radudka pointed to a truck in front and said: "This is MAZ-529, it has a lot of transforming vehicles and you can see it everywhere.”

 Everyone feels like entering a history museum.

"In the front is our MAZ537. This vehicle is widely used in the army and is used to tow various equipment, including missiles. The later Scud missile launcher was also developed on its basis." Radudka continued introduce.

Next is the famous MAZ543. This vehicle became famous along with the Scud missile and is still the flagship product of the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Factory. It has a wide range of uses. For example, Lao Maozi's S-300 and even the later S-400 have to use this kind of vehicle as a chassis.

Even if Lao Maozi doesn’t use it himself, the chassis must be equipped for export. The Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant currently mainly relies on this kind of vehicle to survive.

Qin Tao looked at the vehicle in front of him and felt very emotional.

“This kind of vehicle will definitely be recognized in our country. If we bring these vehicles to this international defense exhibition, we will definitely get satisfactory results for you.” Qin Tao said.

 “Yes, we are also full of expectations.”

Mikhailov then said: "Mr. Qin, you are so kind to us!"

"By the way, if we want to transport these vehicles, the plane will be empty when it comes. We hope to transport a batch of supplies when it comes."

"Of course there is no problem." Mikhailov said: "Our domestic light industry is underdeveloped and we need to import a lot of daily necessities. If you want to buy the two cars here, it will cost one hundred thousand dollars. We can completely barter them. They are expensive." Just bring in 100,000 US dollars of daily necessities."

 Such an agreement is of course a happy outcome for both parties.

Qin Tao nodded: "Thank you for your suggestion. However, for you to keep importing daily necessities will also consume a lot of foreign exchange reserves. It would be great if you could produce some light industrial products in your country."

“Yes, if our country wants to develop, we must first meet the living needs of our residents. However, we have inherited the foundation of the Red Empire era and have a serious shortage of light industry!”

 Speaking of this, Mikhailov felt a little emotional.

When they went to the East to investigate, Mikhailov also went with them. He was very envious of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the East. Although they also wanted to take this road, it was too difficult.

Xie Le looked at Qin Tao with a smile, knowing that Qin Tao was going to reveal his plan.

"We can cooperate to build a China-Belarus light industrial park." Qin Tao said: "You only need to provide the land, and we will do the construction and finally operate the production. In this way, you no longer need to consume precious foreign exchange and can directly We can obtain high-quality and low-priced light industrial products in our own country.”

What?

Mikhailov opened his eyes wide: "Mr. Qin, are you telling the truth?"

Of course they thought of doing this, but investment costs money! Those companies in the West only want to use their white hair as a dumping market, and have no plans to build factories locally. Moreover, because they began to refuse to listen to the Western deception, the West even began to be hostile to them. At this time , it is really difficult for them to develop domestic light industry.

The plan proposed by Qin Tao is definitely a timely help for them!

 He couldn't believe his ears.

"Of course it's true. If your approval procedures can be faster, then when our An-225 transport plane flies over this time, we can bring the machinery and equipment over and store them in the warehouse first until the production workshop is built. We can organize production.”

 “I will report to my superiors immediately!”

The plan for the China-Belarus Light Industrial Park immediately blew up the wind in the Belarusian capital, and countless people became excited.

So, that evening, at the welcome dinner at Maz Factory, a large number of people came, and many government officials started chatting with Qin Tao under the introduction of Mikhailov.

“Mr. Qin, we are very interested in the plan for this China-Belarus light industrial park. Can you tell us more about it in detail?”

"Light industrial products include food, textile, papermaking, furniture and other industries." Qin Tao introduced: "Let's talk about textiles first. I can help introduce our famous domestic clothing brands to open factories here. This can employ a large number of local female workers and increase the local employment rate."

 Everyone present nodded their heads. Saving foreign exchange and increasing employment is definitely a good thing!

"The next step is papermaking. There are a large number of forests in your country. These trees can be mined to build houses and make furniture. As long as the scraps are used, related industries can be developed. Many furniture factories and paper factories in our country will definitely Those who are also willing to come and set up factories, after arriving, the furniture and paper produced here may be sold back to us in the East."

 Leave aside furniture, papermaking is definitely a highly polluting industry and also wastes wood. Sooner or later it will be eliminated domestically. It would be good if Baimao could be regarded as the origin of paper. Like many developed countries, highly polluting enterprises must be relocated.

"As for food, your land is fertile and there are a lot of agricultural products and meat. If these are exported directly, the value is not high. If they are packaged and exported, the profit will more than double. Therefore, once our light industrial park is completed, , will bring a great boost to your economy.”

“Yes, Mr. Qin, we look forward to this light industrial park being completed as soon as possible and all the procedures to be completed as soon as possible. However, our construction speed is not fast enough. Can you send a construction engineering team?”

"Of course, no problem." Qin Tao nodded immediately: "If you don't have money to pay for the project, you can also mortgage the use rights of this light industrial park to us, and we will solve the problem of construction funds by collecting rent. "

 At home, Mingzhou Group does not engage in real estate, but it is different abroad. No matter what method is used, it can make money.

This trip to Baimao was a fruitful one. Qin Tao still had many places to go. First he went to Ermao to fool him, and then to Da Mao. He persuaded some units in Moscow and then went to St. Petersburg.

 Neva Design Bureau.

“Chief Commander Sokolov, there is a banquet at the Pushkar Hotel tonight, organized by the Northern Shipyard. Do you want to go?”

Sokolov raised his head: "Why, what good things are they doing there?"

The original director Orlov has retired, and Sokolov is the head of the design bureau.

“I don’t know, but they rarely hold a celebration banquet, so you shouldn’t miss it.”

Looking at his assistant’s expectant expression, Sokolov nodded: “Okay, I’ll take you with me.”

 The assistant almost cheered Ulla. When was the last time you attended a banquet? Half a year ago, or a year ago?

 Finally going out!

As night fell, Sokolov and his assistant walked into the banquet hall of the Pushkar Hotel. However, as soon as he walked in, he felt a wave of irritation and almost turned around and left.

At this time, there were already many people inside, and some people were communicating. Among these people, Sokolov saw a familiar figure.

 Mr. Qin from Mingzhou Group!

Many past events came to mind. Back then, their Neva Design Bureau was invited by President Qin to go to the Far East to participate in the modification design of aircraft carriers. They originally thought it was an opportunity to make money, but who would have thought that they returned empty-handed in the end. Now that I think about it, it must have been Being plotted by someone!

 It was probably Director Qin who did it. Just look at the current development of Mingzhou Group and you will know that he must have stolen our own drawings from that time!

Although Mr. Qin is very popular here in Damao, Sokolov is very dissatisfied with Mr. Qin.

If he knew that Mr. Qin was there, he would definitely not come.

"Hey, Sokolov, Sokolov!" Just when he was about to leave, the organizer of the banquet, Sergey Chemezov, director of the Northern Shipyard, had already stopped him: "Come on ,come over!"

At this time, if he left immediately, it would be considered guilty, so he took a deep breath and walked in, with the expression on his face still serious.

“Chemezov, you invited a lot of people to this banquet.”

“Of course, Mr. Qin finally comes here and has to meet everyone. Maybe there will be business to do in the future.”

 Doing business with Mr. Qin? Aren't you afraid of being betrayed by Mr. Qin?

Sokolov looked at Qin Tao: "I wonder what kind of business Mr. Qin plans to bring to everyone this time?"

Looking at Sokolov's face, Qin Tao knew what this guy was thinking. He is such an adult, how can he act like a child? No wonder the Neva Design Bureau is getting worse as it gets mixed up! Now is the era of market economy! Even if he is the enemy who killed his father, he can sit down and discuss business. Isn't he just making a little joke? Is there any need for this?

 Besides, you didn’t blame me at the time. Back then, your Neva Design Bureau wanted to go it alone and not leave any room for others to eat. It was obviously because you were too greedy, but now you are blaming me?

"An international defense exhibition is going to be held in the East." Chemezov said: "We are invited to participate in the exhibition. Although we cannot bring warships there, it is still no problem to bring models. Especially the modification of 956 destroyers and 636 submarines Wait, it must be a feast for the eyes of Easterners.”

“Our Northern Design Bureau will not participate, and renting a venue will also cost money.”

"These are necessary investments. Now it is a market economy. We have to go out and promote our products so as to gain recognition from customers." Chemezov said: "Your Neva Design Bureau is our domestic How can the famous warship design bureau not participate in such a grand event?"

"That's right, think about it, if we want to sell warships, we have to rely on the East. Can we still expect to sell warships to the West? If we go to the West to participate in defense exhibitions, it will be a waste of money. If we go to the East, There will definitely be a satisfying harvest.”

Hearing these echoing words, Sokolov felt helpless secretly. These people had all been deceived by Mr. Qin!

“Is there a market in the East?” Sokolov asked.

“Of course, over the years, we have exported Type 956 destroyers and Type 877 submarines to the East. We have supported half of our people in St. Petersburg by relying on the East’s projects. If we don’t rely on the East, who else can we rely on?”

This is not wrong! For a moment Sokolov was speechless.

"Forget it if the Northern Design Bureau is not willing to participate. Anyway, we have already sent a sincere invitation. If they are not willing to come, then the Almaz Ship Design Bureau and the Ruby Design Bureau can come to participate, and by the way, they can bring the latest aircraft carrier Take out the models and show off their strength," Qin Tao said.

It's impossible for Qin Tao's hot face to touch Sokolov's cold ass. Anyway, there are already a lot of design bureaus and factories in Da Mao that have been persuaded to participate. The scene is already very spectacular. They are nirvana. Tile Design Bureau, one more is not too much, one less is not enough.

However, Qin Tao's words made Sokolov frown: "What, aircraft carrier? Where did their Almaz Ship Design Bureau get the strength to design aircraft carriers?"

 When it comes to designing aircraft carriers, there is only one design bureau in the whole country that can do it, and that is their Neva Design Bureau!

“After all, I have designed large surface ships and have rich experience. In this era, business is subject to competition. Even Ruby Design Bureau can design aircraft carriers.”

 Hearing Qin Tao's words, Sokolov was very sad.

Yes, in the era of the Red Empire, each design bureau worked on its own and lived in peace, but it is different now. Now we have to compete. Needless to say, the Almaz Design Bureau, which originally designed aircraft carriers, even if it is specialized in Ruby Design Bureau, which designs submarines, can also design aircraft carriers!

 As long as the products designed by others are liked by users, it will be fine. Wait, who is the user?

 Definitely not Dongfang. Mingzhou Group is in competition with them. Even Mingzhou Group has begun to build aircraft carriers for football countries. They have rich experience.

Then go to the East to display the aircraft carrier model. What are you trying to do?

"Although Da Mao does not have the strength to build an aircraft carrier now, there will still be opportunities in the future. Therefore, now we are constantly launching aircraft carrier models to show the strength of the design bureau. When Da Mao's strength recovers in the future, we can use the design drawings to build aircraft carriers at any time. ." Qin Tao seemed to have guessed what Sokolov was thinking, and continued to lie.

"Moreover, when our defense is launched, it will definitely be very lively. Many customers will visit the defense exhibition. This is a rare publicity opportunity. Even if some customers do not go there in person, they will definitely pay great attention to it. , maybe they will take a fancy to the aircraft carrier model and then directly purchase the design drawings.”

Some customers pay attention to it but don’t go there, and are still interested in the aircraft carrier model?

 Sokolov guessed something and his heart began to beat.

 Mr. Qin must be talking about Ah San! Ah San was very dissatisfied with the progress of the modification of the Super Sun King, and had been looking for a plan for a second aircraft carrier. It was said that they planned to design and build it themselves, but with Ah San's strength, it was definitely not possible.

If you can show your aircraft carrier design skills at this defense exhibition, and be attracted by Asan, you can make a lot of money by selling the design drawings!

To go or not to go?

At this moment, someone suddenly came in with a smile on his face: "Everyone, I just received news from the Far East. The Chaori King has started sea trials, and seven of its eight boilers exploded!"
