Chapter 351 Design drawing of a frigate that will break when encountering wind and waves
Chhetri got closer to the computer screen and looked at the complicated design drawings on it. He didn’t know why, but he thought it looked pleasing to the eye. Sure enough, the stealth-designed warship has an extra sense of beauty!
Snapped!
After only two glances, Qin Tao closed the screen.
"Okay, I've read it. Now, hurry up and raise money. I will give you two account names and divide it into two parts." Qin Tao said.
Money, 80 million!
Chhetri felt his whole body trembling.
"I suggest that when you report to the country, you have two options." Qin Tao said: "One is to tell the current situation. If the country does not send money, then the people will be taken away and then go to When it comes to mining in Siberia, what you have to consider is whether 80 million or a few of you is more important in the eyes of your superiors."
Does it need to be said? It must be 80 million important, and the superiors will abandon them without hesitation!
"Another way is to tell you that the most advanced and modern design plan in the country has been obtained, but it requires 80 million in activity funds. Although the price is a bit high, as long as you praise it well, I believe , your senior management will still agree. You can also say that this design is exactly the same as our domestic 054 frigate. They will be more willing to spend money."
Chhetri’s eyes lit up.
Yes, if you want to make the country believe it, the most appropriate way is to tell the country that they have obtained the design drawing of 054. In this way, the country will definitely be willing to spend money to buy it. Although the price of 80 million is high, it is completely feasible. accept.
However, paper cannot cover the fire. How long can this method of concealment last? Sooner or later the secret will be revealed!
At that time, he will definitely be reckoned with.
"Think about it, our domestic 054 frigate has just started construction, and it will take several years before it is completed. In these years, the equipment has been updated, and it is normal for the weapons on it to be changed." Qin Tao began Follow the lead and be good at it.
“But what about the power system?”
“While carrying this computer, there was an accident and it fell. The data of the power system part was lost! How about you add 10 million more and we can restore the power system?”
Chhetri shook his head, forget it, the price that was finally negotiated cannot be raised again.
Chhetri went to contact him, and Litvinenko was sitting on the sofa, very leisurely. When his eyes looked at Qin Tao, they were full of emotion.
This young man is so awesome!
About half an hour later, Chhetri finished the long-distance call. There was only one way to do it in the hotel room, even if it was monitored, there was nothing he could do.
"The superiors are having a meeting to discuss, but they are very happy and there should be no problem." Chhetri said: "You should be able to get your money, but I will be in trouble in the future."
"What's the trouble? Can you just make another contribution? Now, I have an idea. If you succeed in this matter, then you will be a great contributor to Asan's navy!"
Xu Zhengyang was used to Qin Tao cheating others, and others had to be grateful to him. This kind of serious scene of giving advice to the person being cheated was extremely comfortable.
However, Litvinenko couldn’t help it. His face was smiling, his whole body was shaking, and he could hardly hold the cigar in his hand.
"Excuse me, what can you do?" Although Chhetri also felt that the current scene was a bit funny, he still expected Qin Tao to give him a good idea.
“Do you know about the Nam Kimchi Guodazhou Company?”
“You mean, the company that has gone bankrupt?” Chhetri asked.
"Yes, that company was very ambitious and spent a high price to purchase the heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser of the Pacific Fleet. As a result, the capital chain was broken and it eventually went bankrupt. Their company's assets were eventually taken over by Hyundai Heavy Industries and Sanhang Heavy Industries, of course, including debts. ." Qin Tao said: "Now that they have dismantled the Minsk, the Novorossiysk, nominally speaking, should also belong to the Three Industries Heavy Industry."
Chhetri's breathing was already quickening. Faintly, he felt that this was really an opportunity, a rare opportunity!
"However, the Pacific Fleet insists that the Novorossiysk sales contract was signed with Dazhou Company. If they do not allow the Three Banks Heavy Industry transaction, you can be a middleman." Qin Tao said: "For example, you For two to three million dollars, you can buy that warship from Sanhang Heavy Industry, and then it will be easier for you to negotiate with the Pacific Fleet than Sanhang Heavy Industry."
Although the purchase of Novorossiysk cost 10 million US dollars, it was purchased by Dazhou Heavy Industry after all. If Lao Maozi admits it, they can just bring it back. The problem is that Lao Maozi doesn't admit it, so he has to ask Dazhou Heavy Industry. The company comes over.
The person in charge of Dazhou Company has already jumped off the building. What a fart.
For them, this is a debt they will never get back, so if Asan wants to buy it, he should spend two to three million and buy it from Sanhang Heavy Industries. At this price, it's definitely a bargain.
In this way, Chhetri has achieved meritorious service.
“However, if we buy it, it is equivalent to transferring it to a third hand. Will the Pacific Fleet accept it?”
It is certainly good that they can buy an aircraft carrier at a low price, but this has to be recognized by the Pacific Fleet. If they don’t recognize the second-hand Sanxing Heavy Industry, how can they recognize the third-hand Asan? Although their relationship with Da Mao is better, their face is not that great.
“If you ask for it directly, they will definitely not acknowledge it.” Qin Tao said.
As expected, then didn’t we buy it in vain? Chhetri was troubled.
"But you can accept modifications there!" Qin Tao said: "Anyway, after you get the heavy aircraft carrier cruiser, you can't modify it yourself. You have to entrust Da Mao's shipyard to transform it into an aircraft carrier. , you might as well just renovate it at the shipyard in the Far East, so that the Pacific Fleet can still get a benefit, of course I agree."
Chhetri’s eyes lit up, yes, this is a good idea!
Purchased the Novorossiysk at a low price, and then gave Damao a little sweetener and let them modify it. In this way, the entire agreement was complete. Considering that the domestic navy does lack aircraft carriers, this is really a good idea!
Qin Tao continued to deceive: "Moreover, the Kimchi State wanted to improve the Minsk into an aircraft carrier, so the relevant design drawings were also prepared. For Da Mao, those design drawings are just throwing away. You guys You can use it directly, and if the negotiation goes smoothly, you won’t even have to pay the design fee.”
“Yes, that’s true, we should give it a try!” Chhetri nodded.
"You can use this mission as an excuse to stay here. In this way, you don't have to go back to your country. After the computer is sent back, they may complain about you, but when you have settled the matter of the aircraft carrier, If you go back again, you will be a hero!"
“Yes, yes, your plan is great!” Chhetri nodded repeatedly. Now, he completely believed Qin Tao and thought that what Qin Tao said was really for his own good.
"I just like to make friends. If you need anything in the future, you can talk to me face to face without resorting to any means." Qin Tao said, "If you had come to us directly to ask for the design, you would have saved the money. So many twists and turns. By the way, has the money arrived?"
"not yet."
“I’m thirsty, why don’t we have a drink here? Call the waiter, order the food, and bring it directly to us, and it will be deducted from the room fee deposit.” Qin Tao said.
Soon, the table full of food was placed, the lid of the wine bottle was opened, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine.
“Come, Mr. Chhetri, drink this glass of wine, and after drinking, we will forget our grudges with a smile!”
Chhetri had no choice but to raise his glass, took two sips, and choked. However, seeing Qin Tao and Litvinenko finish their drinks, he could only bite the bullet and drink them all, feeling his stomach churning.
The second glass of wine was poured again, and this time Litvinenko spoke: "Drink this glass of wine, and your bribery of our bureau personnel will no longer be pursued."
Still drinking?
"What? You don't want to drink? This is not good. In our hometown, if you make a mistake, you only need to punish yourself with three drinks."
So, Chhetri could only drink the second glass of wine.
As soon as the third glass of wine was poured, the poor guy rolled under the table.
In the evening, the money finally arrived.
Litvinenko, Qin Tao and others returned with a full load.
"Qin, thank you so much this time." Litvinenko was very happy. He received 40 million in all of a sudden. Even if it was transferred to their bureau's account, most of it was him. of.
“You’re welcome, these are what I should do. I will still be walking around Moscow in the future, and I need you to take more care of me.”
“Don’t worry, no matter what problems you encounter in Moscow, I can help solve them!” Litvinenko waved his hand: “Where are you going next?”
“Go to the Far East.”
"Going to the Far East? Are you looking for Nikolai? If so, no need. Nikolai recently held a meeting in Moscow."
Moscow, meeting?
What a blessing!
That night, Qin Tao met Nicholas in a quiet bar box.
"Nicholas, I have fooled Ah San. Next, if you operate well, you can kill him a few times." Qin Tao finished introducing the matter and then concluded.
"Qin, you have helped us a lot in this matter. As long as Asan pays, we will give you a benefit." Nicholas promised immediately.
Nicholas understood that Qin Tao wanted to include the profit in the material fee.
“No problem, it’s just a pity that our navy can no longer have that warship.”
Speaking of these words, Nicholas felt a little depressed. Although he had also gained a lot of benefits for himself, he still expected the Damao Navy to become stronger.
Now, how could he be willing to hand over the most powerful battleship to others like this?
"That era has passed, and that heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser has been proven to be a failed product." Qin Tao said: "In the future, when your economy improves, you can start building a brand-new aircraft carrier instead of a nondescript heavy-duty aircraft carrier. cruiser."
Nicola nodded.
There was no way back then. Like the UK, they had a lot of opposition to their aircraft carriers, so they finally built that nondescript heavy-duty aircraft carrier. In the future, if they continue to build, they will definitely build a new and truly aircraft carrier. of.
"This meeting is to discuss the navy's equipment issues." Nicholas said: "Since we have lost the high-power gas turbine, if we want to continue to build warships, we must either use steam turbines like the 956 type, or use steam turbines. Only warships with a displacement of less than 4,000 tons can be built.”
Nicolas was not in a good mood.
Since the collapse of the Red Empire, their naval strength has been declining rapidly in the past few years, and a large number of warships have been decommissioned. As for the construction of new warships, they are currently only discussed. Even if it is just a discussion, the outcome is quite pessimistic.
"We have just completed a transaction and sold Asan the design drawings of the frigate." Qin Tao said: "If nothing else happens, Asan will seek your technical cooperation. When the time comes, you can help Asan build the frigate." , after it is successfully built like this, you can also build your own frigate according to the drawings. Although the current situation is difficult, there are still ways."
Nicholas' eyes lit up: "Build a frigate for Asan?"
“Yes, they built their own Delhi-class destroyers, but the frigates are still lagging behind, so they still have a need for frigates.”
Nicola nodded.
The matter of building an aircraft carrier for Asan has been negotiated, and this simple meeting with Nikolai has ended. Qin Tao's trip has also come to a successful conclusion.
Before leaving, they went to find the data manager Ivan again and got a lot of data in a friendly manner.
As for Svetrov, after hearing about it, he was very surprised and came to Qin Tao to apologize. Qin Tao would not investigate whether he participated. In short, Svetrov would definitely not care about Litvinenko’s relationship. Don't you dare to play any more tricks.
Huating.
On the road, there is already a scene of spring flowers blooming. Zhao Ling walked forward. Although her belly had begun to bulge slightly, it still did not hinder her movement.
“Mr. Zhao, please slow down and don’t fall.” said the deputy on the side.
“It’s okay, hurry up and go to the conference room. This is an emergency meeting!”
When Zhao Ling walked into the door of the conference room, she saw Qin Tao sitting there, talking to Mr. Zhang.
Why is Brother Tao here?
"Xiaoling, you are here." Mr. Zhang greeted: "Sit down, everyone is here, we will have a meeting. The modification of Hongqi-16 is about to usher in a major breakthrough. Mr. Qin has got us a lot of information , now, please tell us Mr. Qin."
Qin Tao smiled: "Not much. I don't know if it will be useful. The general idea is that the further improvement of the Hongqi-16's range must be achieved by optimizing the ballistics, using large arc trajectories, and relying on commands. Following the guidance, the range can reach about forty kilometers. The information is here, everyone can take a look."
Zhao Ling had a smile on her face. She no longer had the idea of a strong woman. It would be better if the husband and wife followed each other.
She stroked her belly and thought to herself, child, your father is the most powerful. He can help your mother do many things. Now, he's here to help again.
"Yes, we think so too, but we encountered some difficulties in the specific design. With Lao Maozi's information, we will definitely gain more experience and complete the upgrade of the missile system as soon as possible. If we can reach the fourth With a range of ten kilometers, it is the same as the Kaishan missile."
Hearing what Mr. Zhang said, Qin Tao felt a little emotional. He didn’t know why Mr. Zhang wanted to compare the Kaishan missile.
The only advantage of the Kaishan missile is its range. Now that the Hongqi-16 has caught up with it in terms of range, it will have completely surpassed it. As for price, it is no longer the main consideration.
After handing over the relevant information and having a meeting, Qin Tao looked at his watch: "I'll look around your place again. When you're done, let's go back together."
“No need, let’s go back now.” Zhao Ling naturally took Qin Tao’s arm.
What? His wife actually changed gender? Didn’t you always focus on work before?
“It takes time to sort out the information, so I can just look at the sorted information.” Zhao Ling said with a smile.
When we went home together, not only the mother-in-law was still there, but even the father-in-law was there.
“Hey, Dad, did you come here on purpose?”
“I just happened to be here for an inspection, so I came to live here. By the way, you are awesome. You said you were inspecting missiles, but you actually went abroad?” Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao.
"Yes, I originally planned to inspect the Kaishan missile, but I always felt that it was not good. So, I decided to take the road of foreign alliances and go to Lao Maozi to get their Shikili over, so that the navy would have no objections, right? ?”
After Qin Tao finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of the kitchen: "By the way, there are still some things. I will report to you in the office tomorrow."
After all, there is an extra nanny at home. Even if she has been investigated and is absolutely reliable, Qin Tao has to pay attention to it and do not talk about official business at home.
“Okay, let’s go to the base headquarters in Huating tomorrow.”
the next day.
At the base headquarters, many people came.
“President Qin, if you want to use Shikili anti-aircraft missiles as backup anti-aircraft weapons for foreign trade warships, we have nothing to say. However, you handed over the design drawings of the warships to Asan. Isn’t this a little thoughtless?”
Xu Zhengyang has always been by Qin Tao's side, and he has already reported Qin Tao's behavior truthfully. If he had not taken the initiative to report, Qin Tao would probably have to go into a small dark room to explain everything when he returned home.
Even so, some people are dissatisfied.
Qin Tao used the design drawing to blackmail Ah San for a lot of money. This sounds exciting enough, but after all, it is a design drawing. Is it appropriate to give it to Ah San?
"Of course the design drawings have been changed." Qin Tao said: "Not only are the anti-aircraft missiles and power systems gone, but also, we have made changes to even the hull. If Asan directly builds the ship according to our design drawings, , when we go out and encounter big waves, we have to break it in two. You don't care about my personal safety, but you focus on how much money we make. I have a clear conscience."
Everyone laughed.
They knew that Qin would always cheat Ah San, but they didn't expect that he would cheat like this.
Ah San got the blueprint, but it was very different from the 054 blueprint. The missile became a single-arm launcher and the engine was completely gone. Normally, the drawings obtained in this way would not reveal any secrets of 054. However, Qin Tao felt that this was not enough and actually changed the hull!
The shell of a warship seems very simple, but in fact, there are many tricks.
For example, whether it is a long forecastle ship design or a short forecastle design, they all face a design problem: the stress at the connection between the upper and lower decks at the end of the forecastle is concentrated and the strength is poor. It is very likely that the ship will collapse in harsh sea conditions or under impact. The body breaks into two pieces at the junction.
This is not an alarmist. For example, the French T47 destroyer "Sukuf" had a serious collision with a Soviet oil tanker in the 1970s. The hull broke directly at the first chimney. The break was located exactly from the forecastle to the main deck. Transition zone.
Many designers will rack their brains for this. The end connection of the long forecastle of the islanders directly uses a **** design, using a stable triangular structure to enhance the strength of the hull. There is also a conventional name for Dutch slope.
The design of the 054 warship directly used high-strength steel plates to ensure strength, and also had reinforcing ribs. However, in the design drawing given to Ah San, these were slightly modified and removed.
So, not to mention a collision, even strong winds and waves may cause the warship to break into two pieces.
When the time comes, don’t blame the design. It’s obviously because the construction quality of your Asan is not up to par!
"It seems that your Mingzhou Group is going to steal the show at this Asian Defense Exhibition." Another leader said: "What our China State Shipbuilding Corporation has come up with is nothing more than a modified version of the Sea Sidewinder frigate, and your It’s incomparable, even hair extensions and thermal emission!”
"Yes, thermal emission is definitely a must." Qin Tao said: "We have to believe that Lao Maozi can complete the supporting design."
Wu Shengli rolled his eyes at Qin Tao. At first, Qin Tao patted his chest and said he would use nationally produced weapons, but now he has to ask for help? It's equivalent to going around in a circle and returning to Hongqi-16. However, since it is Shijili, the navy really has nothing to do with it.
As my son-in-law, he is very capable of thinking of ways.
“Taozi, I heard that you were there and discussed with Lao Maozi the issue of pipeline oil imports?” Wu Shengli changed the subject.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, our Mingzhou Group is a shipbuilder, and we will not get involved in the oil industry. After all, we are not a state-owned enterprise. However, since we encountered it this time, I gave it a push. I believe that it will be beneficial to us." This is very important for the country’s energy security.”
“Yes, our country has also noticed it. The oil department is already promoting it, and it is said that it has begun to contact a certain oil company of Lao Maozi.”
“It can’t be Yukos, right?” Qin Tao already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
“When you said that, we remembered it, and it seemed that it was that name. Mr. Qin really knows everything. Awesome, awesome!”
“What’s so great? This company is a trap!”
