In the current international market, an export-oriented Type 052 costs one billion, and an aircraft carrier easily costs three to five billion. Carrier-based aircraft are also sky-high prices, but building a 60,000-ton aircraft carrier for Vitalia would
Four Type 052s, equipped with carrier-based aircraft, cost a total of only 3 billion US dollars, which is definitely a decent cost price. If it were a different customer, it would cost at least 8 billion US dollars.
Vitalia smiled and nodded: "Qin, you are indeed our best friend!"
"We are best friends. We have known each other more than ten years ago. Moreover, every time I come to you for something, you will provide me with help as soon as possible. We Orientals are the most particular about repaying kindness, so what can I do?"
Might make you some money."
"No, Qin, without you, my father and I would definitely not be able to escape. I am afraid that we would have been long gone. Therefore, you are the benefactor of my father and me. Our Wana Group was also founded with your support, so
, the Vana Group is also yours, I am just keeping it for you now, and if necessary, I will hand it over to you at any time."
What Vitalia said was also very sincere. Over the past ten years, things have changed, people have changed, and the world has changed, but this most innocent friendship has never changed.
Is there real friendship in the world?
have!
Qin Tao was a little moved by these words, but later, Vitalia revealed her true colors again: "Qin, actually I have been craving for your body for a long time, but I can't be sorry to Zhao..."
"Ahem, the matter is not over yet, you still lack underwater power." Qin Tao said: "Vitalia, the diesel-electric submarine produced by our Mingzhou Group is very advanced, and it is even more powerful after adding nuclear power.
Do you want two ships?"
Vitalia shook her head: "No, the aircraft carrier formation still needs nuclear submarines. We have ways to do this."
Nuclear submarine, is there a way? Qin Tao suddenly thought of something: Could it be that he wants to smuggle a nuclear submarine over? Is it an active one or one that has been retired?
It shouldn't be retired, because the performance of retired people is too poor, it can only be active duty. Are you guys too audacious? No, I don't know you!
Qin Tao shook his head: "Then you decide for yourself. The matter is almost over. It's time for me to go back."
There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. This time Qin Tao traveled across Africa in the east-west direction. He was very bold. He didn’t know how he would be scolded when he went back. Fortunately, he brought back a large number of contracts, so the trip was considered worthwhile.
Moreover, he can also fool the navy into developing more advanced warships. The navy cannot blame him.
"If you go back, you can go to the big dog shop. They are very satisfied with the drones operated on your 075 and want to purchase a batch."
"This... okay." Qin Tao nodded: "Then take the big dog family."
"Then let's go together."
Want to be together again? If you continue to talk about lusting after my body, I can't accept it!
Vitalia smiled: "Qin, you haven't forgotten, have you? We, Vana, have been helping the big dogs guard the border."
This business was introduced by Qin Tao. How could Qin Tao forget it now? Therefore, Vitalia had reason to go with him, and it would be safer with Vitalia around.
"All right."
Qin Tao had no choice but to follow Vitalia on a plane, first flew to Sudan, and then took a boat directly to the other side. Everything was very hidden and did not alert anyone. When Qin Tao came to the dog
Salman was notified until the big family was near the capital.
Salman was very excited when he learned that Qin Tao was coming.
"Mr. Qin, welcome to our big dog family. This is your home. Don't worry, Wana will definitely protect your safety. I will send a car to pick you up and come to the palace. We..."
Qin Tao shook his head: "Let's stay in your manor in the suburbs. Your palace is too conspicuous, so I won't go there."
"Okay, let's go there."
Soon, Salman and his men arrived at the suburban manor, but here they only saw Vitalia. They drove for another twenty minutes in Vitalia's car, and finally arrived at an inconspicuous building outside another water plant.
In the small village, Salman met Qin Tao.
"Your Excellency Salman, my friend, I am very sorry. I am not sure whether all your men are reliable, so you must be cautious." Qin Tao was a little embarrassed.
"I understand, Mr. Qin, your safety is the most important thing." Salman said: "Mr. Qin, I am very happy that you can come here. We have seen the heroic appearance of your 075 amphibious assault ship this time.
, Very satisfied, Mr. Qin, we believe that our only one aircraft carrier is not enough, we may also need two amphibious assault ships..."
As soon as Salman finished speaking, his men came over in a hurry: "Report that there was an explosion in your manor in the suburbs."
Salman's face turned dark immediately. Wasn't this too fast?
"what happened?"
"A car loaded with explosives drove into the manor, broke through the wall, and tried to drive to the manor's villa to detonate it. However, we shot it dead, but the explosives were still detonated."
The muscles at the corner of Salman's mouth twitched. What does this mean? There must be a traitor among his men, so he just knew that Qin Tao was going to discuss things in his suburban manor, and some people also knew about it. Moreover, these people were very
He was so ruthless that he immediately sent someone to assassinate him.
Despicable and shameless, those explosives were not only going to kill Qin Tao, but they were also going to kill him!
Thinking of this, Salman was filled with fear. He looked at Qin Tao again, his face full of guilt: "Mr. Qin, this matter is my fault. It was the fault of my subordinates. Next, I will definitely find this person."
, I will explain it to you."
Qin Tao shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I should leave after the meeting, but you, Salman, my friend, you have to be careful!"
Salman nodded, his eyes gloomy.
"If you feel that the people around you are unreliable, you can trust our Varner. Their loyalty is unmatched. As long as you need it, Varner will transfer the best agents who have been trained by the KGB to your side.
."
Salman thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
In the past, Vana was only responsible for the defense of their borders and only had a firm foothold. But now, as the Vana Group begins to provide protection to the senior leaders of Goudahu, Vana's position in Goudahu will become more stable.
Vitalia was very satisfied.
"Next, let's continue to talk about cooperation." Qin Tao said: "Do you want an amphibious assault ship like the 075? This kind of warship actually has flaws, so we have improved it and launched the 076 with a larger displacement.
Do you want to know more about this kind of warship?"
After Vitalia put forward the demand, Qin Tao thought: Isn't this 076? He can't make money from Vitalia, but he can make money from big dogs!
Moreover, mass production can better reduce costs. If you go back to China and trick the Navy into purchasing two ships, then build five ships together, and the cost can be reduced by at least 20%!
"Mr. Qin, please speak."
"The greater the displacement, the larger the deck area and the greater flexibility in performing tasks." Qin Tao said: "So, we need to enlarge the length of the deck to more than 250 meters and the width to 60 meters, so that
We can operate more aircraft, and considering the lack of suitable pilots here in our big business, we can completely use drones as our main carrying aircraft."
Different national conditions have different situations. When used in Vana, they definitely prefer manned aircraft. But when used by large companies, the biggest headache is the pilots, so they need more drones.
"Yes, it's a drone!" Salman was excited. He originally wanted to talk to Mr. Qin to discuss the matter of drones. The amphibious assault ship was an idea that came to him later.
"The UAVs exported to you before were jet-type and could not be operated on ships. Now they have been changed to propeller-type. They can take off and land easily and are easy to carry on amphibious assault ships. They are the same as our previous integrated surveillance and attack drones.
, it can also carry a large number of weapons and equipment and perform long-range attack missions. As for the production line requirements you have put forward, we can also meet them. After all, helping you improve your industrial strength is also a purpose of our cooperation."
Salman was very happy: "Thank you, Mr. Qin! With you, the industrial strength of our big dog family has become stronger and stronger. By the way, can this kind of amphibious assault ship be produced in our own shipyard?"
Big dogs also have shipyards, and their industries are constantly developing!
"Of course you can, but your shipyard's strength is still very lacking. It's already good to be able to produce frigates now. Next, you have to produce anti-aircraft destroyers. As for the production of amphibious assault ships, it will take up too much of your time and
energy, and quality problems may arise due to rush work.”
"Okay, then we will produce it in the East." Salman nodded. Qin Tao was right. You can't make a man fat by eating one bite. You have to take your time. They first produced the anti-aircraft destroyer, which they urgently needed.
"Well, Mr. Salman, is there anything else? If not, I will leave." Qin Tao said, "If you stay here for too long, there will probably be problems."
Salman nodded: "No, Mr. Qin, I originally wanted to welcome you here in a lively manner, but I didn't expect... By the way, how much do these two amphibious assault ships cost?"
"Each ship is US$3 billion, which is definitely the cost price for you."
"Mr. Qin, you also have to make money, maybe four billion per ship, and carrier-based aircraft are not included."
"No, no, three billion is enough. We are all good friends, how can we make money from you."
Vitalia thought about how many things she had bought for three billion dollars, and she felt extremely emotional. Sure enough, Qin Tao was a good friend.
"Okay, then we will send you a few more ships of oil for free."
For big business owners, oil is right under their feet. They don’t even need an oil pump. Just make a hole and the crude oil will spurt out by itself. The cost of mining is very low. Over the years, they have been using their own oil production to dynamically adjust, and they often
Some oil wells are closed or opened to meet the requirements of reducing or increasing production. Therefore, it is not a big deal for them to give a few ships of oil to the Mingzhou Group.
Trench, really a trench.
The matter was settled in this way. Vitalia continued to arrange Qin Tao's next trip. He had to send Qin Tao to Lao Ba and then return. As for the 075 at sea, it has now received attention from all aspects and is not suitable.
Accepted Qin Tao.
"Qin, aren't you still planning to sell them carrier-based early warning aircraft?" Vitalia asked curiously on the way.
"With our relationship, there is no need to promote it. As long as we develop it, they will naturally purchase it at any price." Qin Tao replied.
It turned out that doing business could be so simple. It felt like Qin Tao was making money more easily than his own Vana. Vitalia felt very emotional.
"Okay, that's true, Qin, about the truck of explosives..."
"It must have been done by the Yankees."
"Um."
The time to say goodbye finally arrived. Vitalia looked at Qin Tao several times, and then finally couldn't help but say: "Qin, can I lend you your shoulder to lean on?"
"This is not good. Vitalia, if you have had enough fun and want to find a man, I can introduce you to one."
"Okay, I'm going to find someone exactly like you."
Qin Tao was silent again. This matter is very difficult to handle.
Seeing Qin Tao's embarrassment, Vitalia smiled and said, "Qin, I'm just kidding. Go back and say hello to Zhao. If I have a chance in the future, I'll go to the east to see you."
"good."
East.
"Hmph, this kid shouldn't have gone out at all. Once he goes out, he will be like a wild horse running wild. No one knows where he will go."
"Dad, Brother Tao is a person who does big things. How can he stay in the country forever? He has been tired enough in the country in the past few years. It's easy for him to go out and let him relax."
"Relax? Do you know how many people are looking for him? How many people want to kill him? At least thousands of people are elite!" Wu Shengli said: "If he has one ... 呸 呸 呸, what kind of words to say."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Ling smiled: "Dad, calm down. Brother Tao may be back soon and bring good news. Come on, drink.
Mouth tea."
"he?"
Wu Shengli sat down, but before he picked up the tea cup, his cell phone rang. When he picked it up, there was a text message inside, which made him feel happy: "Okay, I'm finally back."
"I just said Brother Tao will be back soon, he..."
"It's good to come back safely, it's good to come back safely." Wu Shengli also let go of the big stone in his heart. If something happens to Qin Tao, what will happen to his daughter, grandson and granddaughter? What if such a huge industry as Mingzhou Group changes?
If an individual takes over, will it go downhill? Even if these can be thrown away, what about the wife and children?
It seems that I have to have a good talk with him next time. He is too dangerous. It is better to stay in the country from now on.
"Xiao Ling..." Wu Shengli wanted to ask something else, but found that Zhao Ling could no longer see her shadow. It seemed that she had gone to pick up someone.
Mingzhou Group's express delivery plane was parked at the Capital Airport. Over the years, Mingzhou Group's express delivery business has also developed rapidly, and it has established express delivery services with many countries. Qin Tao took the express delivery plane from Laoba and returned directly to his country.
, squeezed behind the cab, although the space is small, it has a unique feeling.
"Mr. Qin, when you come back this time, you will definitely be criticized by Leader Wu." Xu Zhengyang said in a low voice: "Have you thought about what to say? My report has been written. I don't know if a few sentences are fluent or not. You can
Let me take a look?"
Xu Zhengyang was arranged by Wu Shengli to serve as Qin Tao's bodyguard and secretary. At the same time, he was also responsible for supervising Qin Tao. Qin Tao had to write reports on every move he made. However, over the years, the relationship between the two has become better and better. This time,
Xu Zhengyang even planned to violate discipline and show Qin Tao the report he wrote first, so that Qin Tao could be mentally prepared.
"No, I went out for the country, Lao Wu, dare he scold me?" Qin Tao looked proud and his voice was loud.
"Mr. Qin..." Xu Zhengyang glanced at the cockpit in front. You don't seem to know, right? The two pilots in front have both retired from the naval aviation force. They...
Qin Tao suddenly reacted with embarrassment on his face.
When the plane landed on the runway, Qin Tao puffed up his chest again and stepped off the plane. There were already people waiting below with smiles.
"Brother Tao, are you back?"
"Um."
"How was the game?"
"It's okay. Wait, how can this be called fun? I'm going out to work." Qin Tao looked at Zhao Ling and said righteously: "I went out this time and brought back tens of billions of business.
"
"Really? That's really good news."
While talking, Zhao Ling had already taken Qin Tao to the car. She drove the car, but she didn't need to drive it when she got back. Xu Zhengyang had already sat in the driver's seat, and they both sat in the back seat.
"Brother Tao, what's the big deal?"
"Wana has decided to order a batch of warships, including an amphibious assault ship."
Before Qin Tao mentioned the order from the big dog, Zhao Ling had already exclaimed: "Vitalia wants to buy an amphibious assault ship? What are they going to do in Vana?"
An amphibious assault ship, this big thing, is this what a mercenary organization should have?
"Brother Tao, did you agree to her? This is too hasty. We do not have the power to directly agree to a warship of this level. We need to apply to our superiors. It is different now from before. Whatever we do, we must
Be careful."
"Ahem, okay, I made a mistake. It wasn't Vitalia who wanted to buy it, but Guinea. Their aircraft carrier was burned down, and they were very unwilling to do so. So they wanted to order another one, so I recommended them to purchase the upgraded model.
"
Guinea?
For a customer who has already purchased one and burned it, the resistance to purchasing another one will be much smaller. However, Zhao Ling is even more confused. Who wants to buy it?
This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly in a few words, so Qin Tao explained it to Zhao Ling along the way.
After hearing these arrangements, Zhao Ling frowned more and more: "Brother Tao, it's not necessarily a good thing that Vana is getting stronger and stronger. We can't just rely on the loyalty of good friends to provide Vana with too advanced equipment."
Equipment, this..."
"No, I think this is good for us. After all, the situation we are facing is getting more and more dangerous, and we also need strong allies." Qin Tao said: "Old Maozi is unreliable. At critical times, we still have to look to our Heizi brothers.
."
Qin Tao and Zhao Ling have different views. In Zhao Ling's eyes, she is afraid that Vana will be too powerful and cause major changes in the world structure. However, Qin Tao knows that a strong friend is beneficial to him. After all,
, the situation will become more and more dangerous. Although Lao Maozi is very tough and will take action if he disagrees, his strength is too weak. He has only reached a province in the east, so he will fall apart at the critical moment.
We still need to find more friends. Friends in Africa are very important!
