Chapter 429 Come to Ermao Capital to buy an aircraft carrier
Passing by? I'm afraid it has a purpose?
Sure enough, after seeing her grandson, Zhao Xiu'e still stayed in the room. Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao: "Come on, come with me for a walk."
Qin Tao nodded quickly.
"You're so good, you went to Ma'angang to open a handbag company, and you actually made more than 80 million yuan."
“Dad, your tone of voice is becoming more and more like my dad.” Qin Tao said something that was not easy to understand. In fact, Wu Shengli is becoming more and more like Qin Baoshan.
The way Qin Baoshan educates his son is because of his biological father. This Wu Shengli is becoming more and more like his biological father.
“At that time, everyone nearby was planning to move out. Thanks to Zhengyang, he sent a signal to the people outside in time.” Wu Shengli continued.
When Qin Tao went out, not only Xu Zhengyang, but also some people were secretly protecting him. When the gangsters came up, the secret people planned to take action, but in the end they did not take action.
"Fortunately, they didn't take action. If they did, my 70 million would be gone." Qin Tao said, "Dad, I know what you mean. These 70 million are used to buy Varyag. When the time comes, just let the navy do what it wants."
The porcelain money eventually turned into an aircraft carrier, which everyone was happy about.
Wu Shengli probably came here for this purpose.
As expected, Wu Shengli nodded: "Currently, whether the Navy wants an aircraft carrier is still under discussion. Therefore, if the Varyag is bought back, it must be stored in the Qin shipyard first."
Qin Tao nodded: "No problem, it will only take a year and a half. The superiors will definitely see the huge role of the aircraft carrier."
A year and a half?
Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao and knew that he was going to be the prophecy emperor again.
This year is 1995. Next year, some big things will happen. By then, the navy will usher in a period of rapid development.
"After we buy it back, we can't just watch it rust. We can first carry out the overall anti-rust work, and then deal with it internally. Externally, it will be said that it is a modification of the offshore blockage. When needed in the future, we can just pull it out for outfitting. .”
Wu Shengli nodded: "As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want."
"Dad, Vitalia has helped us a lot in getting this aircraft carrier back." Qin Tao said, "If there are any problems in the future, I hope we can give her and her family a place to live here." place."
Qin Tao knew the fate of those giants. Originally, he did not want to get involved in this kind of thing, but since he and Vitalia have become good friends, he had to reach out and help them if he could help.
Vitalia is responsible for the Green Venture Company, and Vitalia’s father promoted the money. Therefore, it can be said that this aircraft carrier cannot do without Vitalia’s help.
Providing a place to stay is not a big deal.
“Yeah.” Wu Shengli nodded.
"Also, there is the problem of Ma Gang." Now that he had mentioned this to his father-in-law, Qin Tao naturally continued: "We just wanted to go there to open a company, but we were targeted and we were taught a lesson, so , in the future, we must pay attention to the security issues in Ma Gang."
In 1999, it was time for Ma Hong Kong to return to the embrace of the motherland. By then, would we still have to watch those big guys run amok?
Of course not!
Qin Tao has enough status and background that he will not be wronged. Those big guys have to pay a large sum of money in compensation, but what about ordinary people?
"Do you have any idea?"
“There is only one blockade in Magang, which is not feasible. When there is an opportunity in the future, we can modify the system, for example, introduce three blockades, so that competition can lead to development.”
Qin Tao has always advocated competition. Only competition can lead to development.
Wu Shengli nodded: "If you put it this way, I'm afraid there will be more chaos over there, right?"
"In the past few years, we can first support the forces in the Pearl of the Orient and let them challenge the local forces in Magang. It is best to fight in such a way that both sides will lose. When we go there, we can use powerful means to solve the problems there in one fell swoop. , Therefore, modifying the system is only fair competition, and they no longer have the power to play dirty tricks."
Wu Shengli nodded, and Xu Zhengyang, who followed behind, held a moment of silence for those in Ma Gang.
Having paid more than 80 million yuan in compensation, Qin Tao has already planned to instigate these people to fight among themselves before this matter is over. In the next few years, there will be a **** storm there.
“Don’t make too much noise, and don’t bring the whole boat of fire sticks over, otherwise it will be a mess for us.” Wu Shengli warned Qin Tao.
Wu Shengli knew Qin Tao's character. Since Qin Tao said this, he might do something big and make a fortune from it.
These are just a bunch of hooligans, don't use strong medicine.
Qin Tao smiled: "How much money can you make from this business? I don't like it yet. If Vitalia wants to play, let her play."
Qin Tao would never know what consequences such a simple decision of his would bring and how much fun Vitalia would have in the future.
Wu Shengli came over, on the one hand, to see his grandson, and on the other hand, to explain the matter. The navy has no money now, and you Mingzhou Group will take care of it first. After all, you have made so many mistakes, and you have money in your pockets.
Qin Tao was also very generous and agreed directly.
This is also done to allow Vitalia to make meritorious service, so that she can receive relevant care in the future.
"Lao Maozi came here twice, so there won't be any big problems in bringing the Varyag back. However, Taozi, such a big ship may encounter various problems when it comes back. You have to be mentally prepared for accidents, especially in the Tuji Strait."
Qin Tao nodded: "Dad, don't worry, we have laid the groundwork for everything we need to do, and there will be no problems."
“If you have a problem, go to the motherland, and the motherland will definitely help solve it.”
Qin Tao nodded, he knew the weight of this sentence.
No matter when or where you are, the motherland will always be your strong backing!
“Dad, since you are here, do you want to go and see 054?” Qin Tao said: “The construction of the first warship is going very smoothly, and it is estimated that it will be launched after the New Year.”
Mingzhou Group’s shipbuilding speed is so fast!
Wu Shengli nodded: "Okay, let's take a look."
051C solves the most urgent air defense problem of the Navy. However, it is only a transitional product, while 054 is a ship that the Navy wants to build in large quantities and will effectively solve the maritime air defense problem.
The last time Wu Shengli came here, the hull of the 054 was almost welded. This time when he came here, the superstructure was almost welded.
Standing on the top level of scaffolding, you can overlook the entire warship.
The vertical launching device on the bow of the ship is the most popular part.
"According to your suggestion, we will first assign this kind of warship to the southern fleet to protect our southern waters. When Shuangsha Island is built in the future, we can use Shuangsha Island as a base to patrol nearby." Wu Shengli He spoke.
“Well, our navy definitely needs a large number of 054s. If our group cannot produce them, we will transfer the orders to other brother units.” Qin Tao chatted with his father-in-law.
“You don’t like it?”
“Yes, we will build more advanced warships in the future, especially aircraft carriers.” Qin Tao was very honest.
When I got back, delicious meals were ready.
After dinner and staying one night, Wu Shengli took Zhao Xiu'e back the next day.
Vitalia is still enjoying the special feeling. This New Year atmosphere is really interesting.
"The first Spring Festival Gala we held in China was more than 30 years ago, but at that time most families did not have TV sets. In the past few years, during the Chinese New Year in our factory, we still put a TV set outside, and everyone gathered together Look, in the past few years, our shipyard has become more and more prosperous. Every employee has a TV at home, so he can eat New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala at home." Qin Baoshan sat at the dining table and said While eating dumplings, I talked to everyone. Of course, the most important thing was to introduce me to Qin Tao.
After all, Qin Tao has been running around outside these years. Every time he returns to the factory, he comes and goes in a hurry, and he doesn’t know much about the situation in the factory.
Now, after hearing Qin Baoshan's words, Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, upstairs and downstairs, TV and telephone, we have finally realized our previous ideal. The next step is for every household to have a car."
“Every household has a car? How dare you think about that? Do you know how much a car costs? It would be great if a big guy can ride on it and give it a kick.”
Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Qin Tao did not refute. Anyway, he would know it later. Now it's just a kick, but in five years, the kick will be replaced by four wheels.
However, if you just walk back and forth between the shipyard and the family home, this car will be idle after you buy it.
Vitalia did not participate in the discussion between the Qin family and his son. She sat on a chair and watched the party on the TV.
A woman wearing a headscarf appeared on the TV screen, with a camera on her shoulder. She looked very interesting in a combination of rustic and foreign style.
Subtitles are also out.
"Finding Focus".
“Look at how much the capital has changed. New buildings are being built one after another…”
"The changes here are indeed great. Every time I come to the East, I can feel this change." Vitalia said.
“This can be described as changing with each passing day.” Zhao Ling said.
“Well, Mingzhou Shipyard is also changing with each passing day.” Vitalia can still learn and apply it.
“No, this idiom does not describe people. To describe sea waves, it can mean growing vigorously.”
“Our Haitao is thriving, just like your parents, godmother is also thriving.”
Zhao Ling smiled and shook her head: "It's not suitable for adults to use this idiom. We can say that we can make further progress even further."
The room was filled with cheerful laughter, and Qin Tao's big brother sounded again in the laughter.
“Hey, what? Okay, I get it. We’re leaving tonight.”
It’s New Year’s Eve!
Qin Tao put down his big brother and saw that everyone was looking at him.
“I just got the news from Lao Maozi. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, we have to leave as soon as possible. Now go to Huating and take the early morning flight.”
Zhao Ling had a smile on her face: "Go ahead. In a few years, the ocean will grow bigger and we can go there together."
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, I hope the ocean will grow up as soon as possible. Wei Na, you go with me."
Vitalia is the person in charge of the Green Venture Company. She is required to sign many agreements and contracts. Even Qin Tao will try to minimize the opportunities for public appearances to avoid being spotted.
“Yeah.” Vitalia nodded.
The two left the warm house. Outside, Xu Zhengyang was already driving and waiting for them, and in the car was Vitalia's bodyguard Ivan.
"Qin, I suspect you are hiding something from me. We are going to buy a second-hand aircraft carrier to use as a sea blockade. I'm afraid there is another hidden agenda." Vitalia said to Qin Tao in the car.
This is a smart woman.
"At the moment, I can't say too much, you will know later." Qin Tao said.
Vitalia nodded: "Qin, I believe you. Wow, there are fireworks outside!"
On New Year's Eve, there was a joyous scene everywhere. Qin Tao actually did not want to leave home at this time. However, buying Varyag was a more important matter and it had to be done quickly, so he had to do it. come out.
Moreover, there are many people who are busy with this matter. For example, after Makarov left last time, the Shenzhou floating dock set sail again and is now sailing on the ocean.
●For the sake of the strength of the motherland, it doesn’t matter if I miss one Spring Festival.
Ermao capital, international airport.
"Mr. Qin, you came too soon. We just passed the final decision yesterday, and you are here today." Asnayev said to Qin Tao with emotion.
"Thank God, the plane I'm on is your airline. If it was another airline's plane, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to arrive today." Qin Tao said: "In the whole world, only Lao Maozi dares to land at this kind of airport."
What airport?
The airport covered with snow!
The only snow plow at the airport here just went on strike yesterday evening and is still under repair. The snow inside the airport cannot be cleared, and the snow on the runway is getting thicker and thicker. Except for the pilots of Lao Maozi, other countries The pilots did not dare to land at all.
“Yes, for us, this is very common.” Asnaev is proud.
"By the way, I'm just here to accompany Ms. Vitalia." Qin Tao said: "Your things were sold to Green Innovation Company. Green Innovation Company saw the strength of our Mingzhou Group, so they decided to buy it back , entrusted us with the shipyard renovation.”
Hearing Qin Tao's words, Asnayev nodded: "Yes, you are right, Ms. Vitalia, you are welcome to come here."
Vitalia had a smile on her face: “It’s still the same here, it’s never changed.”
“Yeah, a lot of things haven’t changed.”
Some slogans have been brushed off, some walls have begun to become mottled, and there are even several warehouses in the distance that have been directly collapsed by the snow. It is impossible to say that it has not changed. It has become even more dilapidated.
Vitalia thought that the Huating International Airport she passed by when she arrived was in sharp contrast to this place.
Your choice is not wrong! Vitalia thought so.
When they heard Qin Tao's words about the cunning rabbit's three caves and decided to choose a retreat, they had many choices. Europe was supposed to be more suitable, but Vitalia decided to go to the East. There must be personal reasons for it. Now, Even rationally, Vitalia believed that her choice was right.
Changing with each passing day, growing vigorously, and making further progress!
On the streets of Ermao Capital, the snow has been cleared away. The buildings on both sides are steepled buildings, full of Gothic style and a simple atmosphere.
There are many cars on the street, such as Volga, Lada, Muscovite, etc., which all look relatively old. However, there are also some vehicles that look relatively new, such as Volkswagen, Citroën, etc., all after the collapse of the Red Empire. , circulated from Western Europe.
“Everyone, I have arranged the Don River Hotel for you, and you will come to our commercial department for formal talks tomorrow.” Asnayev got off the car, pointed to the hotel and said to Qin Tao and others.
In the capital of Ermao, the Don River Hotel is one of the best five-star hotels. Asnayev helped arrange the hotel, of course because of the benefits. However, Qin Tao frowned.
We are not out here to enjoy ourselves, we should keep a low profile. At times like this, it would be better to find an ordinary hotel.
"This place is very close to our business department, and it is absolutely safe." As if he knew Qin Tao's concerns, Asnayev assured him, patting his chest.
So, Qin Tao had no choice but to live in. He didn't know how much trouble this choice would bring him.
Nowadays, wherever there is a safe place for Ermao, it has been penetrated to an unimaginable level.
The next day, Ermao Business Department.
After entering the conference room, Qin Tao was pleasantly surprised to find that the person in charge of Ermao's negotiations opposite was Asnayev. In other words, the entire meeting was just a formality!
"Today, here, we officially started negotiations on the project to sell the Varyag aircraft carrier to Ma Gang Green Tourism and Entertainment Company." Asnayev began to become serious: "Now, let's talk about the specific products for sale first. , including all drawings except for the Varyag aircraft carrier docked at the outfitting dock."
Money can make the world go round, and if Qin Tao makes Asnayev full, everything will be easier. After all, here in Ermao, there is no shit-stirring stick like Grishin in Damao.
In fact, as for the aircraft carrier drawings, when Babbage was brought here, many drawings had already been obtained. Even in the second design office of the Mingzhou Group, the modified design of the aircraft carrier had already begun.
But now that this time is here, and with this opportunity, we must not miss it. Bringing back the complete set of drawings will make the modification work smoother.
The negotiator here is Vitalia. She is dressed in professional attire and sits upright. She seems to be listening very seriously. In fact, she doesn’t understand at all when it comes to some things in the professional field.
However, in terms of momentum, it has always been well controlled.
Time passed little by little, and finally, the price issue came to mind.
“As for the price, we hope these things will sell for $20 million.”
“I’m sorry, we need to discuss it.” Vitalia said.
The guys have already reached an agreement in private, but now, on this occasion, Vitalia still has to pretend, after all, there are many people across from her.
Hence, a group of people from the east began to whisper.
Ten minutes later.
"We can accept the price of 20 million, but we also have some conditions." Vitalia said: "We want to modify, and we can't do it without design drawings, a complete set of drawings, not one less, and, starting from now on , please send someone immediately to protect the safety of the aircraft carrier and the blueprints to prevent anyone from sabotaging them."
"Okay, we can agree. However, as long as you pay the money, the aircraft carrier will belong to you. We are not responsible for the follow-up matters, especially whether it can pass through the Tuji Strait. If you turn back, continue If you anchor in our port, you will need to pay the berthing fee. We declare this in advance to avoid damaging our friendship later.”
"good."
After another round of negotiations, finally, all the projects were settled.
The complicated contract was placed in Vitalia's hands. After she read the contract carefully, she solemnly signed her name on it.
"Oriental people are very down-to-earth, and we are very willing to do business with you. However, as you all know, I do not have the authority to sign this on behalf of the government. I will send it to the higher authorities for approval. We will complete the approval as soon as possible. Please also Wait patiently."
Vitalia was stunned, you can’t make the decision, so what’s the point of talking here for a long time?
Qin Tao smiled beside him: "Yes, we can understand that you have to follow formal procedures. Our cooperation is very pleasant today. Tonight, in the banquet hall of Don River Hotel, I will invite you to drink vodka and join us for Cheers to our friendship!”
What the other party said was reasonable. Even if the government handed over the Varyag to the Black Sea Shipyard, the Black Sea Shipyard would still have to report to the superiors when selling it. Qin Tao and the others came here to negotiate directly with the people in front of them in order to shorten the time. time.
As for whether the other party will get stuck? At worst, just spend more money, Qin Tao has already been prepared.
Hearing that Qin Tao wanted to treat them to a drink of vodka, a group of people were very happy. They haven’t been to the Don River Hotel for a long time!
Stepping out of the conference room of the business department, Qin Tao raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. The weather was really nice!
The cold wind blew, but Qin Tao's heart felt very warm. He knew that he had taken another step.
“Qin, they still need approval from their superiors, will something happen?” Vitalia whispered to Qin Tao. They came over in a hurry because they were afraid of wasting time, but Er Mao seemed to be delaying on purpose.
"Probably not. At most, they are not full, so we will give them a few more bones." Qin Tao said.
"I always have an uneasy feeling, but Qin, I believe in you. No matter what accident you encounter, you can handle it."
Anyway, Vitalia was pushed out by Qin Tao to be a puppet, so she didn't have to worry too much. If an accident happened, Qin Tao could also find a way to solve it.
