Chapter 1215: Money-Burning Weapon, Too Poor
1214
Time flies, and soon it is 1991.
This year, due to the situation in the Soviet Union and Gorbachev's reforms, the society is very complicated and turbulent.
Every small country has its own plan.
Huo Yingjun originally had little experience. After working in the embassy in Moscow for a period of time, he was sent to Ukraine.
The situation in Ukraine is more complicated than that in Moscow.
Domestic instability, economic turmoil, soaring prices, people's living standards are gradually declining, and domestic and foreign conflicts are soaring.
Huo Yingjun got information about the turmoil in the Soviet Union from his brother, and began to make plans in the Soviet Union, especially Ukraine.
In order to get more military equipment and technology, Huo Yingjun privately got help from the country and got support from the domestic military. As long as he can get advanced technology, he can pay a huge price.
In the face of foreign technology blockades, the equipment obtained by domestic investment promotion is all civilian technology, and many of them have been castrated by developed countries.
Now the turmoil in the Soviet Union is a very good opportunity.
The news received in the country was also secretly transmitted by Huo Yingjun.
The country is now divided into three factions. One faction agrees with Huo Yingjun's intelligence and believes that the disintegration of the Soviet Union is only a matter of time; the other faction believes that the great and powerful Soviet regime will never collapse, and the huge Soviet Union will not disintegrate; the third faction remains neutral and waits and sees what happens.
Huo Yingjie jointly reported to the top leaders above that if they can get some relevant equipment and technology, they will have the ability to build an aircraft carrier.
When the leaders above heard about the aircraft carrier, their eyes lit up.
However, most people don't believe that such a powerful thing can't be built with existing technology.
Even if you get the technology and equipment, you may not be able to build it.
However, Huo Yingjie insisted that it was possible. Even if it is not possible now, it does not mean that it will not be possible in the future. Just when the above was arguing endlessly, Huo Yingjun handed over intelligence that Ukraine intended to sell an aircraft carrier privately.
Regardless of whether it can be built or not, buy it back for research first.
To achieve leapfrog development in science and technology, you must first have basic technology.
As long as there is an aircraft carrier reference, China can always build its own aircraft carrier.
However, there is still a problem, no money!
So the above has been slow to approve.
Seeing that the Soviet Union was about to disintegrate, he could take advantage of the chaos, but because of the money, he could not make a decision.
Huo Yingjie knew that in the future, Varyag would be bought back in ten years, and the setbacks he experienced during the period could not be explained in a few words. If he took advantage of the chaos this time, it would be easy to get it, but if he missed this opportunity, he would have to experience the setbacks of the previous life again, which would be costly and time-consuming.
So Mr. Huo summoned his eldest son, second son, and grandson Huo Yingjie to study at home together.
This time, he also called the Tang family and the Ma family.
They alone could not complete this task.
Mr. Huo's study room is not small, but there are many people coming today, so it seems a bit crowded.
Here, Huo Yingjie is young, so he plays the role of serving tea and water.
"I asked you to come here today because of the previous discussion about buying an aircraft carrier." Mr. Huo said, "My eldest grandson is still in Ukraine. Although this matter is led by businessmen, I guarantee with the reputation of the Huo family that this is true. As long as we can get permission from the higher-ups and have enough money, we can buy it!"
For a long time, everyone knows the importance of the navy, but it costs money to develop it!
However, the navy cannot be built overnight, especially the cutting-edge equipment.
"Of course I will sell it." Mr. Huo said firmly, "Even if it's fake, I will give it a try, not to mention that it's the information sent by my eldest grandson himself. Aircraft carriers are not just aircraft carriers, they represent the most advanced productivity. If we get them, not only will there be a lot of improvements in the military, but it will also be of great help in other aspects."
"Yes, of course I know the importance of aircraft carriers." Ma Guoxing said with emotion, "The reason why M country is so awesome is because it has several advanced aircraft carriers. When I visited M country before, I boarded M country's aircraft carrier and I wanted to keep my eyes on their aircraft carrier. It's really spectacular, and all kinds of military equipment are very advanced. But it's M country, I can only envy it. If you can confirm, I will take care of the unit, as for the money, I can't help."
When Mr. Tang heard his two friends say this, he looked at his eldest son, and then looked at Huo Zhekun, thinking that this time, he was going to make a big deal.
"Let Tang Li and Zhekun figure out the money issue." Mr. Tang said.
Huo Zhekun is a family member and knows his own affairs. He looked at Tang Li and smiled bitterly: "But we can't take out so much foreign exchange!"
When they thought of the huge sum of tens of millions, everyone was silent.
Money is very little when it is needed. A penny can suffocate a hero, let alone tens of millions of dollars.
Now the country's foreign exchange reserves dare not be used at will!
Huo Yingjie poured tea for everyone, and heard his father's words, and asked: "Father, how much money do you need in total?"
"Twenty million US dollars." Tang Ji replied, "The country can't take out so much money."
"Then how much money can the country take out in total?" Huo Yingjie asked. He was working for the country, but he couldn't let him pay for it all.
Tang Li held out a collection, five fingers: "This is the number I found out."
"Five million?" Huo Yingjie frowned. It was a little too little, not even a quarter. With the freight, it would probably be doubled.
Tang Li and Huo Zhekun looked even more embarrassed when they heard this.
Tang Li lowered his head and stopped talking, letting Huo Zhekun speak.
Huo Zhekun was speechless and had to bite the bullet and said, "Five hundred thousand US dollars!"
"Ahem!" Upon hearing this, Huo Yingjie kept coughing and choked!
Five hundred thousand?
It's not even enough for the travel expenses of the staff!
"Just five hundred thousand, and you still want to buy an aircraft carrier?" Huo Yingjie's voice rose. His eldest brother and the Huo family had spent so much effort just to improve military technology, break the technological blockade of China by the outside world, and achieve leapfrog development.
However, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!
But this east wind can't blow!
Huo Yingjie felt that five million US dollars was a little too little, but he didn't expect that they could take out even less, five hundred thousand US dollars!
In the previous chapter, the kids went to college because they skipped a grade and successfully fixed the bug, (*^__^*) hehe...
