Chapter 1073: Game Within a Game

After these requests were made, Lao Maozi could only experience the flight of the aircraft, but could not learn the secrets of the aircraft. Naturally, there was no need to rent it. After all, their main purpose of leasing it was to take apart the aircraft, study it, and then try to imitate it. Qin Tao could tell what their motive was at a glance.

"Okay, I will convey your request to the boss. If they don't accept it, then I will arrange for you to go back." Nicholas said: "I still have this power."

Although with the current relationship, it is said that there will be no such thing as the plane being detained, but there are exceptions to everything. Nicholas must be careful, who knows if someone will have other ideas, and he does not want Qin Tao to suffer here. Grievance, that was Nikolai's dereliction of duty.

"No one should do anything. After all, your two amphibious assault ships are still on our slipway." Qin Tao said.

Nicholas nodded: "Yes, if they dare to seize this plane, they will seize the amphibious assault ship. I have no problem with it." Nicholas said.

He must never be sorry to a friend, and he is a true friend.

Even after talking about this matter, Nicholas continued to talk about the second matter.

"Qin, our 35th Ship Repair Yard wants to merge their two dry docks to form a large dock so that they can repair the Navy's aircraft carriers. I think our cooperation with Dongfang may be ruined."

"Merging the dry dock?" Qin Tao's mind instantly flashed a picture of future generations.

The old aircraft carrier Kuznetsov sailed into a dock. The dock did not even have a dock door. After the Kuznetsov entered, a dike was built directly behind it, and Kuznetsov was The number circle goes in, and then the water is pumped.

After the seawater is drained, you can see the mud under the belly of the aircraft carrier. The dock has not even done any hardening work! The Kuznetsov repeated the experience of its brothers: undergoing repairs and modifications in the mud. The old man really dared to do anything. There was not even a support in the mud. This precious aircraft carrier may roll over at any time.

However, this is still good. After all, the Kuznetsov has officially started repairs. Before that, there were still a lot of dirty tricks by Lao Maozi. It actually took three and a half years to repair such a muddy shipyard. Two contractors were also changed during the construction.

The 20 billion rubles needed for construction came from loans, but how much of it was spent on the dock? I'm afraid not even 2 billion rubles! Most of the money goes into the pockets of some people who just need a project and take the opportunity to make money.

What now?

The 35th Ship Repair Yard is embarking on this path.

"Qin, do you have any suggestions?" Nicholas looked at Qin Tao seriously: "If you have any ideas..."

"Our Mingzhou Group has never lacked business. We simply don't care about the cost of repairing your warships." Qin Tao said, "The reason why we took over your business is because of our relationship. Whether it is the construction of the 22350 frigate, the maintenance of the Type 1144 cruiser, or the two amphibious assault ships now, I just want to help you. Now that you have your own ideas, I am happy to be free."

Qin Tao really doesn't like this kind of project. If he goes back ten years, he will definitely come to bid for the maintenance of the Kuznetsov, even if it is the maintenance of four Kiev-class cruisers, but Now, it's no longer interesting. A 100,000-ton aircraft carrier is on the slipway of our Mingzhou Group. Do we still care about this small business? The Kuznetsov has long ceased to be a big fun toy.

"Yes, I know what you are thinking, but it is not easy for everyone in the country to realize this." Nicholas said: "Qin, do you have anything to remind us?"

Nicholas was always worried about this matter. He always felt that something else was going to happen.

"Nicholas, since we are old friends, let me briefly explain my speculation. This is my personal speculation and is not accurate."

"Okay, I'll listen."

"It doesn't cost much to repair a dock. If our Mingzhou Group's infrastructure company does it, the entire expansion project will cost up to 50 million U.S. dollars and only take three months. But that's not necessarily the case here. When you are doing infrastructure construction, you have been procrastinating, and it will probably take several years. Of course, time is not the most important thing, the important thing is the contractor. "

"If they want to make money from this, there is a very simple way, that is to register a handbag company and directly get the expansion project. After the bank loan is received, their handbag company will directly declare bankruptcy. In this way He just took the bank loan and ate it openly. "Qin Tao said: "At least half of the construction cost of 20 billion rubles, or more, 90%."

"They have spent all the funds, so how can we repair the aircraft carrier of our navy?"

"This is not what they consider. They first consider making money and filling their own pockets." Qin Tao said: "In the future, the worst possible thing is to leave Da Mao and go to Europe to live happily."

"No, we absolutely cannot let them do this!" Nicholas clenched his fists. The aircraft carrier belongs to their navy!

At that time, the aircraft carrier was cut open at the dock, and the boiler was taken out. After losing power, it could not be started at all. It was the meat on the lips of their 35th Shipyard. Their dock was not built, and they would definitely ask the navy for money! They would ask for money again and again!

If it was an Indian aircraft carrier, it would be fine, but it would be too much if our own aircraft carrier was also so pitfall.

"Let's talk about other projects next, such as boilers and arresting cables. These need to be replaced during repairs, but there are currently no related supporting factories in your country, and we have not received orders from the 35th Shipyard. It is very likely that they will order from the relevant departments in your country."

Domestic order? What a joke, the domestic factory that produces these equipment has long gone, the design drawings are unknown, and the skilled workers have long gone. The country can't produce qualified boilers at all, let alone the arresting system!

Although the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is less than 20 years old, the aircraft carrier has already had various problems, such as its boiler. As long as there is no fresh water when it goes to sea, the sailors will pour seawater into it, and there will be problems. In fact, the Russians have always had boiler problems since the Kiev class.

This time they plan to completely solve this problem and replace all the pressurized boilers. The best way is to purchase from the East, but if some people want to enrich themselves, they will give the boiler order to a domestic factory. By then, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier will not even have a boiler and will be completely grounded!

Because it is a ski-jump takeoff, the takeoff part does not need to be adjusted, but the landing arrest system also needs to be replaced. This is not only the arresting cable above, but also the complex devices under the deck, such as the pulley buffer system, the fixed-length run control system, and the hydraulic oil cooling system.

Although the Russians already had relevant technical reserves in the Red Empire era, they have long lost them. The best choice is to purchase from the East, and even if you want to pursue high-end, you can purchase the electromagnetic arresting cable system from the East.

The Russian Navy is also very satisfied with the four-sided phased array radar produced by the East. This time it also plans to replace it, and even if possible, it is better to replace it with four large shields. Anyway, the East has decided to export this system.

But now, with the project handed over to the domestic shipyard, all these fantasies are about to be shattered. Nicholas clenched his fists, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

No, they must not succeed. The repair of the Kuznetsov must be handed over to the East!

"Nicholas, my friend, I understand your situation. In this case, you must not be impulsive." Qin Tao said: "Instead of letting others profit, it is better to do it yourself."

Nicholas' eyes suddenly lit up. This is really a best of both worlds!

"Thank you, Qin, I have to go."

"Nicholas, you are leaving so soon?"

"Well, I have thought of a countermeasure." Nicholas said: "Humph, the navy's money is not so easy to make! Don't worry, this business will still be yours in the end. Humph, I don't trust these people in the country at all. They will do nothing but enrich themselves!"

"Is your countermeasure perfect? ​​Do you want me to help you with your advice?"

Under the same night, in a box of the Moscow Caesar Bar.

"Come on, toast to our victory!" Yuri raised the glass in his hand and said to the two people opposite.

One of them is Rachmanov, the head of the 35th Shipyard, and the other is Kirilenko, the head of JSC.

"Yes, cheers to our success!" Kirilenko raised his glass: "I have made all the preparations. When the bank's funding arrives, the money will be divided into three parts and all deposited in a Swiss bank account. If you want to leave, you can withdraw at any time."

"Not yet, after all, the maintenance cost of the aircraft carrier is still 40 billion rubles." Yuri said: "Rachmanov, you should know what to do, right?"

"Of course I know." Rachmanov said: "Our shipyard is about to reach the Arctic Circle. In a year, there is polar night for half a year. The weather is cold and there is no We have no way to work. The delay is not our fault. We need more funds to complete the modification of the aircraft carrier. "

"If the higher-ups don't agree, then we'll set it on fire." Yuri said, "We have to continue to add funds, otherwise we won't be able to complete the corresponding modification. The navy only has one aircraft carrier like this, and they will definitely accept our price increase request with gritted teeth."

"Yes, although the current price is 40 billion, but without more than 100 billion rubles, this aircraft carrier cannot be completed! Come, let's toast to a better life!"

The three people were very happy, as if a mountain of gold and silver appeared in front of them.

After the party, the three people staggered out of the bar and drove to the parking lot. Although the Russian law also prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol, for them, the law is to restrict ordinary people, not to restrict them.

Kirilenko got on a Haval H5, which is a very popular car in Russia recently. It is durable and has a diesel engine. The key point is that it is produced in their country. This car quickly beat a group of imported cars.

He turned the key, started the engine, and with the sound of the diesel engine rattling, he left the parking lot and merged into the traffic.

At the intersection ahead, it was time to turn right. Just as he was turning the steering wheel, there was a sudden bang on the right side. He suddenly became agitated and woke up from all the wine he had just drank. He stopped the car and turned from the passenger side. The driver easily pulled out a baseball bat.

Damn it, you dare to come here to try something, are you so impatient?

However, when he turned around, he saw a smooth-looking luxury car with a shining three-pronged logo on the front.

The origin of this car is not simple? Kirilenko looked at the tall bodyguard who got out of the car and was instantly discouraged.

"Boy, what do you want to do?" The other party didn't take anything, but just moved his wrist, and the joints crackled.

"it's okay no problem."

Kirilenko looked at the bulge in the opponent's waist. There was probably a pistol stuck there. He couldn't afford to offend him. Otherwise, biubiu, he would be dead.

"How do you plan to solve this matter?"

"I, I, I compensate, I compensate." How could Kirilenko dare to be so harsh? The water here in Moscow is very deep. If he continues to refuse to give in, there will probably be another dead body in the Moskva River outside the city next year.

"No need." At this moment, the person in the back seat opened the window: "It seems that he has been drinking, and the insurance can't cover it. Anyway, it's not a big deal, so let him go."

Just let yourself go? Kirilenko was very surprised and looked at the other person again. The more he looked at him, the more familiar he became. Isn't this the most famous investor in Moscow, Karasov?

This man is very talented. Every time he sees a certain stock, the stock will skyrocket. Anyone who listens to his lectures and buys with him is right. In addition to stocks, there are also futures and other investment activities. He They all showed amazing strength, and some even compared him to Warren Buffett in his own country!

Now, I actually met this person?

Kirilenko suddenly had a thought in his mind and said quickly: "No, this is not okay. I'll pay for it. Can I talk to you?"

"come in."

So Kirilenko got into the luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-Class limousine.

"Are you Mr. Karashov? I often see you in newspapers and on TV. You are a nationally renowned investment expert."

"Just so so," Karasov said.

"I don't know which stock will rise recently. What do you think?"

They were talking about getting in the car to discuss compensation, but Kirilenko directly asked about the stocks.

"Recently?" Karashov glanced at the Harvard H5 that caused the accident next to him and said, "Your car still burns oil, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Do you know what the most popular cars are these days?"

Popular recently? What did Kirilenko think of: "Electric cars?"

In a place like Da Mao where it is not warm for a few months all year round, electric cars are absolutely useless. Just like a certain mobile phone, it is fully charged indoors, but when taken outdoors, it instantly alarms and then shuts down due to lack of power. .

Although electric vehicles are not practical, it does not mean that they are not popular. After all, this is the world's most advanced new energy and environmentally friendly vehicle!

Now, what is the purpose of the other party suddenly saying this?

"Are you buying electric car stocks?" Kirilenko asked.

Karashov shook his head: "No, no, we don't have electric car companies in China yet. There are a few in Europe, but they are not large. However, electric cars have emerged, but the raw materials for making electric cars are limited. Among them The most important thing is lithium. Now, battery companies around the world are competing for this resource. Do you know how much the price of lithium ore has increased recently? "

Kirilenko suddenly felt excited: "You mean, you can buy shares of the mining group?"

"Yes, a rare metals joint group has just been established in the Far East recently. This group is about to go public. If you can grab their stocks in the early stage of listing, the stock should double within a month."

Double that, one month!

Kirilenko immediately thought of the 20 billion rubles loan. After the money was loaned out, it would first be placed in the accounts of their JSC company, and he would be responsible for transferring it out in batches. Now there is such a good If he has the opportunity, first invest this money in the stock market and buy the shares of this group. After one month, the shares will double. By then, he will be able to earn 20 billion rubles!

"Mr. Karashov, I can raise a sum of funds on hand. When the time comes, can you help me operate it?" Kirilenko asked.

"You can just buy it in the market by yourself. As long as you have a computer, you don't need my help." Karasov said: "However, I suggest you increase the leverage several times so that you can earn more. This opportunity is rare."

Kirilenko got out of the car and watched the Mercedes-Benz S-Class leave, his heart filled with passion.

Here's your chance to make money!

It is the hardest to earn a small goal first. After you have this small goal, it will be easier to earn the second small goal.

Since he already has 20 billion rubles, of course he must use these 20 billion rubles to continue making money!

the next day.

Nicholas met the boss again and reported to him President Qin's decision.

"Why is the rental price so expensive? You and he are good friends, can't you let him make it cheaper?"

"This is what Mr. Qin agreed to because of the friendship. Otherwise, he would not have loaned it to us at all."

"Forget it, we don't have that kind of money. The deposit is 200 million, and it has to be paid in cash. We don't need to spend that kind of money." The boss waved his hand: "Now, the most important project is to repair the aircraft carrier. What do you think about repairing it domestically?"
