Warship of Great Power

Chapter 528: Seven out of eight boilers?

  Chapter 528 Eight boilers blow up seven?

   "Well, this car is not bad." Qin Tao jumped out of the car and said to Radujka: "We bought it from Mingzhou Group! However, transportation is also a problem."

  It is definitely inconvenient for such a huge vehicle to walk along the road. Even if it is a railway, it is absolutely super wide and super high, so it is difficult to transport.

"Mr. Qin, didn't you say you want to replace it with a new engine?" Radujka said, "After changing the engine, you can drive all the way there. We have a good relationship with Da Mao. I can clear up the relationship for you. Let you drive to Da Mao's territory, and then drive back."

   Drive all the way back?

  Qin Tao glanced at Radujka dissatisfied. Your idea is really bold enough, but is it possible?

   This is definitely a joke!

  The distance in a straight line is 6,000 kilometers, but it is impossible for vehicles to travel in a straight line on the ground. If you drive all the way back from Baimao, it will take 8,000 or even 10,000 kilometers at least!

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

  Qin Tao couldn't bear it.

   "It can only be transported by land. This kind of big guy 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 a transport plane. As long as we contact the airport, we can transport these two big guys back at any time."

   This is the benefit of owning a transport plane!

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

  Wait, isn't there an excuse?

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

  Radujka was overjoyed: "Mr. Qin, our Minsk vehicle factory manufactures heavy vehicles, and there are many types of vehicles to choose from. You must have demand, and you can buy a few more to go back."

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

Qin Tao shook his head: "We are shipbuilders, not car builders. We are not very interested in your other things, but I guess our army will be interested. Next month we will have a defense exhibition in China. Do you want to participate?"

   "Defense exhibition?" Radujka heard it for the first time: "You want to hold this kind of exhibition?"

"Yes, we held it ten years ago, and it was very successful at that time. Now, we want to continue to hold it. The big guys produced by the Minsk Vehicle Factory can participate in the exhibition without any travel expenses. Don’t worry, it’s no problem to take our transport plane.” Qin Tao began to enter the flickering state: “Also, if our military is interested, maybe we can buy it on the spot, so that we don’t have to worry about the travel expenses when we come back. , After all, our army needs these big guys."

  Radujka's eyes lit up.

  Although the Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant can produce a lot of vehicles, it inherits the characteristics of the Red Empire era and takes a rugged and durable route. Therefore, when the Red Empire collapsed, their business was not good.

  Western-made vehicles have exquisite appearance, beautiful interior, comfortable ride, and most importantly, fuel-efficient! There is not much business at the Minsk vehicle factory.

   These military vehicles are traditionally exported to Da Mao, and, similar to this kind of multi-axle launch vehicle, only Da Mao can buy them. However, the big hair is poor! With Da Mao's current strength, it is impossible to spend funds to continue purchasing this kind of multi-axle launch vehicle.

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

   They need to find new clients!

  Looking at the whole world, the West does not need it, and only the East has this kind of demand, even the only user!

  The East does not have a large number of ballistic missile nuclear submarines, nor does it have missile trains. The mobile combat power of the East is mainly land-based vehicles. However, because of poor technical strength, there is only the way of trailers.

   Therefore, if the East wants to develop a second nuclear strike force that can quickly counterattack in the future, the wheeled launch vehicle is the best choice!

  Sell these vehicles east to earn money!

  Radujka nodded vigorously: "Yes, we are willing to participate in the exhibition in the East, but the An-225 transport plane can't fit much, right?"

   Weight is not a problem, the key is volume!

   "As many as there are can be packed." Qin Tao said: "We can stack Arhats."

   These people must have never seen how trucks are delivered in later generations. Below is a heavy-duty truck with a front four and a rear eight chassis, on which you can carry another front four and a rear eight, just remove the tires. On the top of this car, you can carry another tractor, and one person can send three vehicles. That's right.

  The purpose of running this way is to save on shipping costs. Now Qin Tao’s suggestion is also to save on travel costs. It’s not worth flying twice!

   This MAZ-7907 is hinged in the middle and can be completely disassembled. Then remove the tire from the rear part and put it in the front to stack the Arhats, so that the space can be saved in half.

  Radujka nodded: "Good!"

   After working for a long time, it was only busy outside, and it has not yet entered the factory building.

   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." Radujka 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've been upgrading the technology all the time, and now the model is the final version, it can go through swamps and climb steep slopes. It also has different attachments to chop trees, dig trenches, shovel dirt or tow heavy things and so on."

   This is the ultimate use of the tractor!

   "Are you still producing it?" Qin Tao asked.

  Radujka nodded: "Yes, it is still the key product on our production line."

   It has not been replaced for decades! The domestic old Jiefang has been thrown into the garbage dump of history, and the car in front of me is still in production. Is it a compliment, or should it be belittled?

"On the basis of this tractor, we have made changes and turned it into a truck. This is also the development history of our Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant." Radujka pointed to a truck in front and said: "This is MAZ-529, which has many transforming vehicles, can be seen everywhere."

  Big guy has a feeling of entering a history museum.

"In the front is our MAZ537. This vehicle has a wide range of equipment in the army. It is used to tow various equipment, including missiles. Later, the Scud missile launch vehicle was also developed on the basis of it." Radujka continued introduce.

   Next is the famous MAZ543. This vehicle became famous along with the Scud missile, and it is still the main product of the Minsk Vehicle 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 vehicle as a chassis.

  Even if the old man doesn't use it himself, the export must be equipped with a chassis. The Minsk Vehicle Manufacturing Plant currently mainly relies on this type of vehicle to survive.

  Qin Tao looked at the vehicle in front of him, feeling very emotional.

   "This kind of vehicle will definitely win our domestic approval. Bringing all these vehicles to this international defense exhibition will definitely give you a satisfactory result." Qin Tao said.

   "Yes, we are also full of expectations."

   Mikhailov continued: "President Qin, you are so kind to us!"

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

"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 two cars here, it will cost you one hundred thousand dollars. We can completely barter. It’s enough for Fang to bring over $100,000 in daily necessities.”

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

  Qin Tao nodded: "Thank you for your suggestion. However, for you, importing daily necessities will consume a lot of foreign exchange reserves. It would be great if you could produce some light industrial products in your own 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 there is a serious shortage of light industry!"

   Speaking of this, Mikhailov felt a little emotional.

  When they went to the east for investigation, Mikhailov also went with them. They were very envious of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the east. Although they wanted to go this way, it was too difficult.

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

"We can cooperate to establish 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 don't need to consume precious foreign exchange, but directly Good quality and cheap light industrial products can be obtained in this country.”

What?

   Mikhailov opened his eyes wide: "President Qin, is what you said true?"

  Of course they thought of doing this, but investment requires money! Those companies in the West only want to use their white hair as a dumping market, and they don't plan to build factories locally. Moreover, because they don't listen to the flickering of the West, the West even starts to be hostile to them. At this time , It is too 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 is true. If your approval procedures can be faster, then when we fly over with the An-225 transport plane this time, we can bring over the machinery and equipment and store them in the warehouse first. After the production workshop is built, can be organized and produced.”

   "I will report to the superior immediately!"

  The plan of the China-Belarus Light Industrial Park immediately created a gust of wind in the capital of Baimao, and countless people became excited.

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

   "Mr. Qin, we are very interested in the plan of the China-Belarus Light Industrial Park. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Light industrial products, including food, textile, papermaking, furniture and other industries." Qin Tao introduced: "Let's talk about textiles first, and I can help introduce our famous domestic clothing brands to set up factories here. In this way, a large number of local female workers can be hired and the local employment rate can be increased.”

  The people present nodded repeatedly, saving foreign exchange and increasing employment, this is definitely a great thing!

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

  Not to mention furniture, papermaking is definitely a highly polluting industry and wastes wood. Sooner or later, the country will be eliminated. If Baimao can be used as a place of paper production, it would be good. Like many developed countries, high-polluting enterprises need to be transferred.

"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 great impetus to your economy."

   "Yes, Mr. Qin, we look forward to the completion of this light industrial park as soon as possible, and all the procedures can be completed as soon as possible, but our construction speed is not fast enough, can you send a construction engineering team?"

"Of course no problem." Qin Tao nodded immediately: "If you have no money to pay for the project, you can also mortgage the right to use this light industrial park to us, and we will solve the problem of construction funds by collecting rent. "

  In China, Mingzhou Group does not engage in real estate, but it is different abroad. No matter what method is used, it is enough to make money.

  This trip to Baimao has been very fruitful. Qin Tao still has a lot of places to go. First, he went to Ermao to fool around, and then Da Mao talked about some units in Moscow, and then went to St. Petersburg.

  Nevsky Design Bureau.

   "Master 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's good about them?"

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

   "I don't know, but it's rare for them to hold a celebration banquet, so it's not to be missed."

   Seeing the 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!

  When night fell, Sokolov walked into the banquet hall of the Pushkar Hotel with his assistants. However, just after he walked in, he felt bursts of irritation and almost turned his head and left.

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

  Mr. Qin from Mingzhou Group!

A lot of past events came to mind. Back then, the Neva Design Bureau was invited by Mr. Qin to go to the Far East to participate in the refit design of the aircraft carrier. They thought it was an opportunity to make money. Was tricked by someone!

   It is very likely that President Qin did it. Just look at the current development of Mingzhou Group, and you will know that you must have stolen your own blueprint since then!

  Although Mr. Qin is very popular with Da Mao, Sokolov is very dissatisfied with Mr. Qin.

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

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

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

   "Chemezov, you have invited many people to this banquet."

   "Of course, Mr. Qin finally came here to meet everyone. Maybe there will be business in the future."

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

   Sokolov looked at Qin Tao: "I don't know 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. How could he be like a child at such an adult? No wonder the Neva Design Bureau is getting worse and worse! Now is the era of market economy! Even if it's killing your father and enemies, you can sit down and talk about business, isn't it just a little joke, is it necessary?

   Besides, you didn’t blame me at the time. At the time, you Neva Design Bureau wanted to eat alone and didn’t leave food for others. It was obvious that you were too greedy, but now you are still blaming me?

"The East is going to hold an international defense exhibition." Chemezov said: "We are invited to participate in the exhibition. Although we can't bring warships there, we can bring models. Especially the modification of the 956 destroyer and the 636 submarine Wait, it must be a feast for the eyes of the Orientals."

   "We will not participate in the Northern Design Bureau, and it will cost money to rent a venue."

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

"Yes, 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? We went to the West to participate in defense exhibitions, and that was a waste of money. Going to the East, There will definitely be a satisfying harvest.”

  Listening to these echoing words, Sokolov secretly felt helpless. These people were all fooled 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 Dongfang. Relying on Dongfang's projects, we have fed half of our people in St. Petersburg. If we don't rely on Dongfang, who else can we rely on?"

   There is nothing wrong with that! Sokolov was speechless for a moment.

"It's fine if the Northern Design Bureau is unwilling to participate. Anyway, we have sent a sincere invitation. If they are unwilling to come, then the Almaz Ship Design Bureau and the Ruby Design Bureau can come to participate. By the way, the latest aircraft carrier Take out the models to show their strength." Qin Tao said.

It is impossible for Qin Tao's hot face to stick to Sokolov's cold ass. Anyway, there are already a lot of design bureaus in Da Mao, and the factory has been persuaded to participate. The scene is already very spectacular. They nirvana In the tile design bureau, one more is not too much, and one less is not much.

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

   When it comes to designing an aircraft carrier, there is only one design bureau here in Da Mao, and that is their Neva Design Bureau!

   "After all, they have designed large surface ships, and their experience is also very rich. In this era, business is going to be competitive. Even the Ruby Design Bureau can design aircraft carriers."

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

That's right, in the era of the Red Empire, each design bureau was doing its own thing, and it was safe and sound, but it's different now, and now they have to compete, not to mention the Almaz Design Bureau, which originally designed aircraft carriers, even if they Ruby Design Bureau, which designs submarines, can design aircraft carriers!

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

   Certainly not Dongfang, Mingzhou Group and them are in a competitive relationship, and even Mingzhou Group has begun to build aircraft carriers for football countries, and they have rich experience.

   Then go to the east to display the aircraft carrier model, what is the picture?

"Although Da Mao does not have the strength to build an aircraft carrier now, there is still a chance in the future. Therefore, the continuous release of aircraft carrier models can demonstrate the strength of the design bureau. When Da Mao's strength recovers in the future, he 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 fool around.

"Besides, when our defense is launched, it will definitely be very lively. Many customers will visit the defense exhibition. This is a rare promotional opportunity. Even if some customers don't go in person, they will definitely pay attention to it. , maybe they will take a fancy to the aircraft carrier model, and then directly buy the design drawings.”

  Some customers pay attention but don’t go, and still look at the aircraft carrier model?

   Sokolov guessed something, and his heart began to beat.

   President Qin must be talking about Ah San! Ah San was very dissatisfied with the progress of the modification of the Chaoriwang, 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 level at this defense exhibition, it will be a lot of money if Ah San likes it and sells the design drawings!

  To go, or not to go?

   At this moment, someone came in with a smile on his face: "Everyone, I just received news from the Far East that seven of the eight boilers of the Chaoriwang, which has already started sea trials, exploded!"
