() Just as Canglong expected, when Hamlet arrived in Nikolayev City, many local officials came to visit him in person, including the mayor and governor. It is said that the prime minister will also come to visit in person in a few days, and Hamulut The clever thing about Mullet is that he doesn't see anyone.
Yu Qi Gu was very skillful in playing the game. It was not until the Prime Minister of Ukraine came to visit that Hamlet personally met him and said some nonsense in front of the media.
Until the prime minister took the initiative to mention investment, Hamlet only said that he was only interested in aircraft and ships, and did not mention investment intentions in a single sentence, which showed great concern for the prime minister.
In several contacts, the Prime Minister was in a passive state. Anyone who can achieve this position is not a fool. After repeated visits, he naturally knew what Hamlet wanted. In the last contact, the Prime Minister finally came up with something practical. , this is a letter written by the president himself to Hamlet. The entire letter includes various preferential policies for Hamlet to invest in Ukraine in the future, and it also guarantees that Ukrainian military industrial enterprises are definitely du lixing. subject to constraints from any country.
However, Hamlet did not excitedly say that he wanted to buy the Black Sea shipbuilding ship. Instead, he told the Prime Minister that he would consider the president's proposal and stay in Ukraine for a while to experience the customs and customs here.
Even Canglong had to admit that in political transactions, Hamlet was indeed a genius. He obviously wanted to buy other people's things, but he just left them alone and said that I would go travel and think about it first. Moreover, he still When the Prime Minister personally visits.
However, there are also political factors involved. The reason why Ukrainian senior officials extended such an olive branch is because Hamlet, the investor, does not have much problem. If it were a rich Chinese or American rich man who came to Ukraine, it would definitely not be like this. treatment because Ukraine is worried about pressure from Russia.
For Ukraine, inheriting the military industry from the former Soviet Union has both advantages and disadvantages, because Russia does not allow Ukraine to sell important military industries to Russia's rivals. This is the reason why Ukraine's economy has collapsed.
It was not until a week later that Hamlet notified the Ukrainian Prime Minister that he wanted to buy a few yachts from the Black Sea Shipyard for fun. His frivolous tone was like a playboy who has money and nowhere to spend it.
However, in such a major transaction, the Ukrainian side actually only considered it for three days before giving him an answer. All preferential policies were valid, but the Ukrainian government only gave Hamlet 90% of the shares, of which 10%. It must be held by the Ukrainian government, but Hamlet did not sign happily. Instead, he hesitated for a few minutes, then said that he was ready to return to the country and kept silent about the investment.
The Prime Minister immediately became anxious and quickly threw out the biggest bottom line. Ukraine Zhengfu only retained 5% of the shares, and the other 95% was willing to sell to Hamlet, and at a very favorable price. It felt like it was being sold as scrap.
Of course, such a low sale is also due to the potential of Hamlet. They all know that the Ukrainian economy is in a slump. If the Black Sea shipbuilding can receive a large amount of capital injection, it will drive the economy of the entire Nikolayev city, and the same can be done. It provides countless employment opportunities, and this is just the beginning. If the Black Sea shipbuilding becomes profitable in the future, it will also have a driving effect on Ukraine's military industry. Maybe the rich crown prince will be willing to invest in other things.
But they didn’t know that what they were selling like garbage was what Hamlet and Canglong wanted most. With those production terms and preferential policies, in the next twenty years, they would be enough to take over the Black Sea. Shipbuilding was reorganized and restored to its former glory.
After signing the contract, Hamlet and Soryu met each other to acquire 95% of the shares. Hamlet only spent 2.1 billion U.S. dollars. This was for a world that was once the largest in the world. In terms of shipbuilding, it is definitely a bargain price.
The day after Hamlet bought the ship, it immediately became the focus of all international media. Most of them said that Hamlet had nowhere to spend his money, and investment was such a burden. However, Hamlet has always been generous, so this There are few people in the world who can compare with him. Do people who spend 7 to 8 billion US dollars to build a hotel care about this little money?
"The Russian military depends on you. We need a large order." Hamlet looked at Canglong seriously, "As long as you get the Russian order and 95% of the shares, I will give you You give 50%, of which I hold 45% myself, what do you think?"
"Then it's time for us to sign a contract." Canglong smiled and threw him a technical hard drive, "Here are the technical information and data of the nuclear reactor of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. You can set off now to visit Russia. Use this and I won’t go to their prime minister’s negotiations.”
"Is it possible?" Hamlet asked worriedly.
"Russia is still unable to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Their technical capabilities are limited. Show this to them and they will understand." Canglong said with a smile, "When you come back, you can sign an order for one or two ordinary aircraft carriers." .”
"Can't Russia build its own aircraft carrier?" Hamlet asked rhetorically.
"But their technology is still far behind the Americans. We have such technology, and they can only ask for it. What's more, if you buy the Black Sea Shipyard, they will not be wary of you either." Canglong said calmly.
Hamulert nodded: "In addition to the technical information on the aircraft carrier, you also have other things in your hand."
"Aegis battleships, nuclear submarines, and some cruisers, the Americans' best maritime weapons, can all be built on Black Sea ships in the future." Canglong said calmly, "But we have to take the trouble to rename these battleships."
But Hamlet took a breath of cold air: "Now I really doubt your purpose of buying this shipyard."
"I'm helping you." Canglong said solemnly, "The Black Sea shipbuilding is close to the Black Sea. After signing the order with Russia, all future maintenance of Russia's Black Sea Fleet will be carried out in the Black Sea Fleet, which is equivalent to acting as a free ship for us. Bodyguards, the aircraft carrier we built will open up the Black Sea route in the future. Wherever the Russians can go, we can go. If Islamic countries want to control their own destiny, they not only need to stop internal fighting, but also need advanced Weapons, in the future our weapons can be provided to Iran, or to Iraq that has recovered after the war. I think they will be very interested. The most important point is that Maryam wants to become the new caliph of Islam and end various Islamic countries. Can the struggle between Sunnis and Shias be resolved by just one identity?"
"Strength is also needed." Hamlet nodded, "But if Russia knew our plan, it would definitely not let us realize it so easily, let alone the Americans and you Chinese. No big country would Would like Islamic countries to unite."
"They don't need it, but I do." Canglong didn't care, "Besides, by the time Russia discovered our plan, it was already too late."
"Are you so confident of taking power in China?" Hamlet asked.
"Take power." Canglong shook his head, "If Oriental International can succeed in China, then at least China will be inclined to help Islamic countries in the future instead of hindering the development of Islamic countries, and sometimes China does not need to control it by itself. For rights, as long as we open up the relationship, what matters is how Islamic countries will cooperate with us in the future."
Hamulet nodded: "I hope that the person China will send to communicate with us in the future will be you and not others. You can do this."
"It's not difficult to do this, but you have to provide me with more resources." Canglong smiled.
When Hamlet's expression changed, he knew that Canglong had taken such a big detour and was not hiding any good intentions. His feelings came to him to ask for money.
"You really treat me like a cash machine." Hamlet said with a bad face.
"This is a grand strategy and requires a lot of money. If you think about it, after investing, you will get not only profits, but also my friendship, and even China's friendship." Canglong said with a smile.
Hamlet immediately couldn't refuse, but he still said: "According to the budget I gave you, Oriental International does not seem to be at the end of its rope. Isn't it too early for you to ask me for money now?"
"Haha, it's indeed a bit early, but it's not too late. I just want to remind you to keep some money for me, otherwise the whole plan will be ruined, and your losses will seem to be greater than mine." Canglong said with a smile.
"Can I use a Chinese word to describe you?" Hamlet felt aggrieved.
"Tell me and listen."
"Cheating." Hamlet said harshly in his broken Chinese.
"Thank you." Canglong replied calmly. Hamlet was so angry that he wanted to tear Canglong apart, but Canglong quickly said, "There is a breakthrough in the sample from the institute."
Hearing this, the frustration on Hamlet's face disappeared instantly: "Really."
Then Dr. Canglong and Jiang Yue repeated everything they said to him before saying, "So you won't lose money."
"Yeah." Hamlet nodded, his face a little better, "I forgot one thing, did you go to Iraq some time ago."
"Not bad, the information is quite good." Canglong was a little surprised.
"The new ambassador to Iraq is dead. It is impossible not to know about such a big thing. Everyone knows that China and the United States are taking action in Iraq. Who else can kill the ambassador to Iraq like this, except you." Ha. Mullet sneered, "But it seems that you are doing more harm than good. The United States has increased its troops by 10,000. In the future, if Chinese oil companies want to extract oil in Iraq, they will have to look at the Americans."
"So we need an Iraq without Americans." Soryu said calmly.
