Chapter 1,260: Even if you become the general manager, you are still a puppet
Nicholas still held the check in his hand, but the expression on his face was extremely cold.
"Go back to Moscow."
In the tall spire building in Moscow, Nicholas looked at the man in front of him and handed over the check for two million US dollars.
"I can conclude that in the past few years, there has been no repair work at Little Star Ship Repair Factory. They have not even put up a single scaffolding. In the past few years, all the funding has gone into their pockets. I was the last to know that they wanted to
Use this money to shut me up."
"Our domestic shipbuilding industry has been like this over the years. No one has thought about what contribution they can make to the country or the army. All of them are thinking about how much money they can put into their pockets."
"I know that I was a little impulsive today, but I also know that if we use normal means to deal with it, these people will go unpunished. They will bribe the judge who is trying them and give them the opportunity to escape our country and take their embezzled money with them.
Go west and enjoy it.”
"so what?"
"Our country has become such a mess that there is no way we can continue to complete the task of repairing submarines." Nicholas said: "I have always believed that it is best to hand over our maintenance tasks to the East."
"I know that some people will say that I am close to the East, but I am doing this for the strength of the navy. If it were not for the help of the East people to repair the aircraft carrier, once our Kuznetsov entered the dock, it would not be able to get out for ten years.
If it comes, it may be completely scrapped in a fire. Without Dongfang, we would not have amphibious ships and frigates."
"I know that from a national perspective, handing over to our domestic repair companies is the best choice, but I don't believe them. Our funding will only go into their pockets. We originally wanted to support these companies.
But the end result was that they fled to the West with their embezzled money."
The man sighed, stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance.
"Nuclear submarines are our biggest secret and an important means for us to maintain national security. How can we leave nuclear submarines to Easterners for maintenance?"
"The nuclear submarine technology in the East has long surpassed ours." Nikolai said: "Although the outside world has only observed 093, they must have built more themselves. The performance of their nuclear-powered attack submarines is already comparable to that of Sea Wolf.
, I am afraid that the displacement of their ballistic missile nuclear submarines has already reached the 20,000-ton level. I heard that they have the world’s largest bending machine, which can wind a pressure hull of up to 13.5 meters.”
The Typhoon class has a displacement of 40,000 tons, but it is just two pressure hulls juxtaposed. They cannot make a large pressure hull, but Dongfang can, they have the most advanced technology in the world!
With a strong industrial foundation and advanced electronic technology, Dongfang's submarines are already one generation ahead of Mao. What's the problem if you leave the submarines to Dongfang for repair? It's definitely better than repairing it yourself.
"Actually, we can order nuclear submarines from the East. Of course, my proposal will not be approved. After all, many people are criticizing me because of my closeness to the East. I just want to say that since I
If you are in charge of the navy, you must consider the navy..."
"I know, you can go down."
Nicholas came out.
Domestic shipbuilding companies are shameless, and so are ship repair companies. The Smolensk fire this time caused the entire submarine to be scrapped, which is definitely not an exception. Next, the men inside only need to go to various ship repair yards to see what other ships are being repaired.
submarine, you should know.
It is indeed good to build it yourself, but when you have lost this ability, outsourcing is the best solution. After all, Dongfang has its strongest brothers!
It was snowing heavily in Moscow, and several Norwegians braved the snowflakes to visit the Rosatom company, which currently operates all the nuclear-powered icebreakers in Moscow.
The matter was so important that Oryang personally took action. When he came to Rosatom Company, he was warmly welcomed by the other party.
"Welcome everyone, I am Khlebnikov. If you come to our company, just ask if you have any needs, and we will fully meet them."
"We would like to ask your nuclear-powered icebreaker Fifty Years Victory to open a way for us to take a trip to the Arctic route. This voyage is very important. We hope that you will take us through the Arctic route within ten days."
"So that's what it's about, Zaitsev, Zaitsev!"
Zaitsev smiled and nodded: "Everyone, it's up to us! It's the wisest choice for you to choose our nuclear-powered icebreaker!"
"So, let's sign the contract first?"
"sure."
Oryang read the entire contract carefully and found no problems. The nuclear-powered icebreaker was brought all the way, and the price was normal, not much more expensive because of winter.
Over the years, Damao has been vigorously promoting the Arctic route, and many ships have begun to take the Arctic route, which saves money and time. At first, it only sailed in summer, but now it has slowly expanded to winter, and it will be able to sail in all seasons in the future!
"Can this clause include the requirement of crossing the air route within ten days?"
What they are most in need of right now is time!
"It can be added, but if this clause is added, the fee will increase by 50%."
"Why?"
"Can the price of express and regular express be the same? Since you want to enjoy fast service, you have to pay more. In fact, even if we don't add this clause, we will definitely complete the task in the shortest time. After all, we have many piloting tasks.
, I won’t waste time for you.”
In fact, Oryang still wanted to add a time limit, but thinking about the increased expenses made him feel sick. What they lack most now is money! Without money, nothing can be done.
"Don't worry, we have often traveled this route before, and our Fifty Years Victory has done it more than once before. There will be absolutely no problem."
"Okay, I hope your ship will wait for us at the entrance to the Arctic route in three days."
Anyway, it was a standard contract, so there was no big problem. Oryang signed the contract and then waited for the payment.
Watching the Norwegians leave, Khlebnikov breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, they didn't insist on adding a time limit, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
"What's so difficult about this?" Zaitsev said: "We have the kind of ink that is very clear within half a month but becomes ineffective after half a month. If they want to add it, we will write with that kind of ink."
Khlebnikov paused for a moment, "What kind of thing is there?"
"What if they pull out a pen?"
"How can there be so many ifs? Is there a force majeure factor in our standard contract? At that time, a sudden cold current will exceed the direct navigation capability of the icebreaker and it will have to be repeatedly impacted. Can you blame us? If we suddenly encounter a magnetic storm,
We lost our way and ended up driving to the North Pole. These are all force majeure factors."
Khlebnikov felt a chill.
"Will this affect our reputation?"
"How is it possible? We have done our best to maintain the smooth flow of Arctic shipping routes, but they are just unlucky. Can they blame us?" Zaitsev said: "They want to transport the drilling platform there for the sake of peace and harmony.
We compete for the market, and we do this for the benefit of the country, do you understand?"
"All right."
Dongfang, Tianshuang Heavy Industries.
One by one, the drilling platforms were loaded onto the semi-submersible vessel.
Oil drilling platforms have special structures. Generally, the top is tens to one hundred meters high. The bottom depends on the depth of the sea water, which can be as many as four to five hundred meters. Many skyscrapers do not have this height, so when building,
They are all lying down, and they are also lying down for transportation. When they reach the destination, one end is filled with water, and the oil platform is erected.
Eight drilling platforms require eight semi-submersible ships. Fortunately, there are just a few Norwegian semi-submersible ships unloading nearby, just enough to catch up. A few more can be rented from island countries and South Kimchi countries, and that will be enough.
Eastern?
There are also a large number of semi-submersible boats in the East, but the prices are too high and the conditions are too harsh, so they are useless.
On the Docwise Pioneer heavy-duty semi-submersible ship, Sortello watched the bow of the semi-submersible ship sink, then gently drive under the drilling platform, and finally raise its head. Then, the huge drilling platform was loaded
When I got on the boat, I was full of anger.
Huh, insurance money is not necessary at all. The Orientals just want to make more money from him.
But, it doesn’t matter, this is the last deal. Once he leaves with these drilling platforms, he will never come again. He has had enough of the East!
The eight semi-submersible ships are finally fully equipped.
"Let's go!" Sortelo glanced at the calendar card. December 24th is Christmas tonight. Unfortunately, Santa Claus can't be seen.
However, I am Santa Claus, delivering the most urgently needed supplies to the country!
"Bon voyage!" Qin Haiyang stood on the dock and shouted to the leaving fleet.
"Director Qin, this business is finally done, and our Tianchuan Heavy Industry has successfully escaped the crisis!" Behind him, Xia Yu's voice sounded: "I'm so happy!"
Of course Xia Yu was happy, the business was finally done, which also meant that she would become the general manager of Tianship Heavy Industry, unless Director Qin objected.
However, he had just taken over Tiancheng Heavy Industry and made it clear at the beginning that whoever sells eight drilling platforms would be the general manager! If he goes back on his word now, will anyone still believe what he says in the future?
If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team.
"Secretary Xia has contributed a lot to the success of this business." Of course Qin Haiyang will not forget it. He looked at the people present: "Now, I announce that from this moment on, Secretary Xia has become the president of our Tianchuan Heavy Industry."
Manager!"
There was applause all around. Although they may have had a lot of doubts about Xia Yu in the past, and even looked at her with strange eyes, but now, Xia Yu helped sell the drilling platform, and Xia Yu can sit on that
Location!
"Let's go to the conference room. We'll ask Mr. Xia to talk about the next development plan."
Sitting in the conference room, Xia Yu looked at the people below, feeling beautiful in her heart.
"I think that our Eastern shipbuilding industry has developed too much. Every heavy industry group is building ships. Our Tianshi Shipbuilding Industry does not have this advantage. At the beginning, we also chose to build ships because we could not compete with others.
Drilling platform." Xia Yu began to talk about his development plan.
"Drilling platforms take a long time to manufacture, and there may be many changes during the process. If customers cancel their orders midway, they will encounter the same type of problems, so I think we should give up this business."
Many people below were surprised.
"Then what should we build?"
"That's right, we won't make anything else!"
"We have a relationship with Director Qin. We can take orders from Mingzhou Group in the future. If they can't make it, they will give us some. We will make whatever they have."
Qin Haiyang frowned: "I'll repeat it again, Tianchuan Heavy Industry is Tianchuan Heavy Industry, and Mingzhou Group is Mingzhou Group. They are two different units. Our development must depend on ourselves, don't think of relying on my father.
."
Xia Yu nodded: "Okay, then we will rely on ourselves. Now that we have so much funds and the energy market is very good, I think we can set up a financial department. We can make a lot of money by speculating in energy futures...
"
"No, what we want to do is industry. Only industry can rejuvenate the country!"
"Then how about we engage in real estate?"
"We are a heavy industry group!"
Xia Yu said something, and Qin Haiyang denied something. Xia Yu still had a smile on her face, but she began to hesitate slowly in her heart.
Is this Director Qin just here to deny himself? He just wants to prevent himself from stepping down. He just wants to let himself know that even if he becomes the general manager, he is still not the leader and everything needs to be reported to him.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Mr.
Come here, let’s break up the meeting!”
Xia Yu stood up: "Send Director Qin off."
Mingzhou Group.
"Yangyang has appointed Xia Yu as general manager, but just after the meeting today, he suppressed Xia Yu." Xu Zhengyang reported.
"Well, this kid already knows that Xia Yu is a traitor, and he still dares to help Xia Yu to the position of general manager. Of course, he will not let Xia Yu have all the power in this position." Qin Tao nodded.
"However, Haiyang will have to go back to school sooner or later. Today, there must be a reliable person as the general manager of Tianjin Shipbuilding Industry."
"We don't have to worry about it, let's just look at his arrangements."
"Okay, then we don't have to give the order to them first, right?"
"Of course not. If I give in now, wouldn't it be an advantage to Xia Yu?"
"Then can we solve Xia Yu's problem?"
"No, let Haiyang handle it on his own. I have always felt that he was planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
"Okay, those people will soon find out that they have been fooled." Xu Zhengyang said: "There is another thing. Lao Maozi's Smolensk submarine caught fire during the repair process. Nicholas went to inspect it. At the scene, something strange happened
It happened that the director of the ship repair yard stepped on the air and fell into the dock. The director was killed on the spot."
"Well, it seems that Nikolai is very angry. Maybe we can contract Lao Maozi's nuclear submarine maintenance business in the future."
"How can this be?"
Qin Tao smiled.
Qin Tao knows what the shipbuilding industry in Lao Maozi's country is like. There are allocations from the top and corruption from the bottom. It is estimated that not a single ruble has been used for repairs, otherwise Nikolai would not have been so angry that he committed evil acts on the spot.
Once this kind of trend is formed, it cannot be changed at all, even if it is someone else.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang back then, he killed batch after batch of corrupt officials under his command, peeling off their skins and filling them with straw to warn future generations, but he still failed to ensure the integrity of the officialdom.
How can they continue if the roots are rotten? If they want to save money and be efficient, the best way is to let their own party repair it.
However, someone will probably push it again, so Qin Tao doesn't know what will happen in the end.
If you repair it, you can practice it. Lao Maozi's Type 949 nuclear submarine has an underwater displacement of more than 20,000 tons, which is larger than many ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Its biggest feature is the anti-ship missile launchers placed obliquely on both sides.
In the era of the Red Empire, this kind of anti-ship missile was a powerful weapon against aircraft carriers. It had a maximum flight speed of Mach 2.5 and a maximum range of more than 500 kilometers. In addition to being equipped with a 750-kilogram semi-armor-piercing warhead, it could also be equipped with a nuclear warhead.
But now, this kind of missile is too backward. Therefore, if the world's only remaining cruise missile nuclear submarine is improved, the main modification plan is to replace it with a new submarine-launched missile launcher. This device can launch a variety of missiles.
You can also use a plum blossom-shaped launcher like the Ohio-class, with several missiles stuffed into one tube to greatly increase its power.
But...you don't have to worry about it, let's see how Lao Maozi arranges it.
The Arctic Ocean is very cold in winter. The only species that can live here are polar bears and old furry animals like polar bears!
Even in the cabin, with the heating temperature set to the highest setting, Sorlot still felt very cold. He was wrapped in his Adidas down jacket, but he couldn't feel any warmth.
"Damn, why is it so cold here?" Sollot couldn't help but said: "I feel like I'm going to see Santa Claus right away!"
"It's okay." The bearded captain said, "We didn't feel particularly cold. Where did you buy the down jacket you're wearing?"
"Dongfang, I found a store that specializes in down jackets. The store recommended me this down jacket, a big international brand..." Sollot said.
"Then you have to open it and take a look to see if it says MADE IN CHINA." The bearded captain said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you buy a regular manufacturer's product, but you are afraid of buying imitations from some small workshops.
Taste."
Sorlot opened the zipper shakily and found the trademark sewn inside. Sure enough, the English word was clearly visible.
"Damn it, do Orientals only produce fake and shoddy products? What is the filling in my clothes?"
"No, no, you just bought some inferior products. This does not mean that all Eastern products are of this kind. There are two kinds of people in the East. One is trying to reduce costs and the quality of its products is very poor. The other is very low-quality.
Good, the products we make are better than those made in the West!”
The bearded captain said, pointing to his down jacket: "My down jacket is also MADE IN CHINA. The quality is quite good and very warm. By the way, have you heard of it? The US military seized a batch of fake shoes. The reason for the discovery
It’s fake because it’s too durable, but it’s really not that wear-resistant. Finally, I found out that it comes from the East!”
"Damn it, how did I buy a fake?"
"Generally speaking, the quality of the products they export is very good. They have to keep their eyes peeled for what they sell themselves."
