Chapter 262: 80 million scrap metal and 20 million blueprints
Li Jinshan looked around with satisfaction.
Ten million US dollars to buy a decommissioned 40,000-ton warship really scared these people.
If it is dismantled and sold for scrap metal, plus the cost of labor, it will be almost on the verge of losing money. However, if it is modified and used as the first aircraft carrier of Kimchi Country, it will definitely be worth it!
How much does it cost to build an aircraft carrier?
Look at the aircraft carrier Mingzhou built for Siam. It has a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and many of them are civilian standards. Just that kind of thing costs three to four billion!
Looking at the aircraft carrier with a similar displacement, the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was built in 1986. It has not yet been launched. The original plan was to invest 12 billion francs, which is more than 2 billion US dollars. When it was finally completed, it cost a total of 7.12 billion US dollars.
100 million francs, more than 10 billion US dollars!
Now, with only 10 million, I can buy this shell back. It is definitely worth it.
What about Mingzhou? Ten million is already beyond their plan, right? Huh, if you want to compare money, Mingzhou can't compare.
"Twenty million dollars." At this moment, the familiar voice sounded again.
What, twenty million? Is this an exponential increase? Is it a multiple relationship every time?
Li Jinshan's face looked ugly.
Qin Tao had just put down the bidding sign with a smile on his face. When Li Jinshan looked over, Qin Tao nodded politely.
Twenty million U.S. dollars! What does this mean? You will definitely lose money if you buy it back for scrap metal. If the other party calls out this price, it means that it will definitely not be to dismantle the warship and sell it for scrap metal, but for other things.
The use of!
Li Jinshan swallowed and spat, what to do, follow or not?
The shipbuilding industry of the South Kimchi Country is quite developed, but this does not mean that they can build aircraft carriers on their own, because they have never built one before and do not have any experience. They must first contact aircraft carriers from other countries and study them.
Just fine.
Now, the price of 20 million has exceeded the price of scrap iron, but it is still worth it to them.
Li Jinshan gritted his teeth and gave it a go!
"Forty million!"
Aren’t you playing with the multiplier relationship? Then let’s play with it, forty million dollars, and see if you can still keep up!
The entire conference room immediately exploded. "Forty million, buy a scrapped aircraft carrier. What does Dazhou Company think?"
Is it too expensive?
Even if you buy it back, renovate it, and use it as an aircraft carrier, that would be too luxurious. After all, this is the foundation of a heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser. If you want to transform it into an aircraft carrier, you will have to spend a huge sum of money.
Dazhou Company is really willing to spend a lot of money!
Li Jinshan took a deep breath and kept looking at Qin Tao. Will this guy follow? If he makes another offer, should he continue to follow?
While he was paying attention nervously, Qin Tao's hand slowly picked up the sign and was about to lift it up.
Isn't this guy going to give up?
Li Jinshan felt a wave of air rising in his chest. He suddenly picked up the sign: "Eighty million!"
According to the inertia just now, if Qin Tao bids, he will definitely double it again, which is 80 million. This is definitely the highest price the other party can bear. He might as well shout it out himself and see if the guy is willing to add!
Others around him looked at Li Jinshan with strange eyes: When we came here, we prepared 50 million! This is already the most outrageous number, and you actually shouted out 80 million?
But Li Jinshan was still very sure that this was the price he had to offer! Now, he was just worried that Qin Tao would continue to hold up signs and quote 80.5 million, and deliberately disgusted himself.
Qin Tao held the sign in his hand. He wanted to lift it up, then put it down. After hesitating three times, he finally put the sign back on the table.
"Oh, it feels so good to have money." Qin Tao sighed.
"Eighty million times."
"Twice eighty million."
"Eighty million three times. Congratulations to Nanjingguo Dazhou Company for acquiring this decommissioned warship! Please complete the payment within one hour of the end of the auction, and then Mr. Nicholas will take you to see it.
A warship."
Eighty million!
This definitely creates a record that defies heaven!
Everyone was shocked, and at the same time, some people were wondering, is Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group really here to bid, or is it here to raise the price?
A broken warship with a reserve price of 1 million was finally sold for 80 million. Isn’t this outrageous?
However, looking at Qin Tao's depressed look, it doesn't look like he is faking it.
Although he successfully bid, Li Jinshan did not relax at all. He sat on the chair, breathing heavily, as if he had just run a marathon.
Yes, the bidding was indeed successful, but what next?
He has to find a way to find another 30 million US dollars! He has to get it together within an hour!
The losers left one after another, and Qin Tao walked in front of Li Jinshan in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Mr. Li, congratulations."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for showing mercy. If you had asked for five hundred thousand more, we would have had no choice but to give up." Li Jinshan squeezed out a smile.
Shouting more? Of course it's impossible. I just know that this is your limit, so I won't increase the price! Qin Tao smiled secretly in his heart and said: "You bought it back at such a high price. When you dismantle it,
We need to be more careful. If necessary, I can help. This can also reduce our losses."
Need help, reduce losses?
Li Jinshan suddenly understood the meaning of Qin Tao's words.
When the other party came to bid, of course they had made sufficient preparations! The other party must have obtained the drawings of the Minsk. Now that the other party's bid failed and the drawings are no longer useful, they might as well sell them to themselves to make a fortune.
No matter how much it costs, you have to buy it back. Eighty million has been spent, is there still a small change left?
Qin Tao left with his people. When he returned to the hotel, Cong Ju curiously asked Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, what benefits can we get by doing this?"
Drawings and other matters are kept extremely confidential. Even Cong Ju doesn't know what benefits he can get by going like this and just raising the bidding price.
"The benefits are many, many." Qin Tao smiled: "Have you done everything I asked you to do last time?"
"Well, according to your instructions, we have purchased a large amount of Dazhou Company's shares in the stock market. Buy in large quantities, sell slowly, and then buy in large amounts."
Cong Ju couldn't understand this kind of financial matter, and just entrusted a specialized agency to do it. However, it can be seen that with their operations, Dazhou Company's stock price is slowly rising, and those funds are making money.
"Well, it's a good start. Let's destroy Dazhou Company in one or two years and eliminate a strong competitor." Qin Tao said, "Then, now they spent 80 million to buy a warship
, then with only a few million, it will be in our hands again."
When Qin Tao said these words, he was simple and relaxed, but Cong Ju felt a chill. Mr. Qin was so terrible! A careful layout was to bring down the company that he had only touched once.
!
Seeing the fear in Cong Ju's eyes, Qin Tao smiled: "You think I'm despicable?"
Cong Ju shook her head.
"This is what competition is like. We have entered the international market, and we will face international competition. Many opponents will do everything possible to kill us, and we must also find ways to make our opponents doomed. That kind of
Gentlemen who throw white gloves at each other before a duel are the stupidest." Qin Tao said: "Shopping malls are like battlefields, father and son can turn against each other, let alone strangers."
In fact, if there was no such opportunity, Qin Tao would not bother to make any calculations. Now that he had encountered it, he would just do it and reduce one competitor for Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group.
Cong Ju understood somewhat, but there was still a lot she didn't understand. Of course, she didn't have to fully understand it, just look at Mr. Qin's next method.
That night.
Li Jinshan took Pu Douxuan and others to the hotel where Qin Tao was staying.
"Mr. Li, your deal is completed? Have you seen that warship?" Qin Tao asked with a smile.
"Yes, we have seen it. We watched it all over the bridge. For the first time, I experienced the power of the Minsk. Although the weapons have been removed, I can still feel the power of this warship.
"Li Jinshan said: "I really hope to see it continue to gallop on the ocean."
When he said this, he stopped and became excited and talked too much.
"By the way, Mr. Qin, can you sell us the things you have in your hands? Anyway, you have no use for those things. Please set a price as you wish, and regard it as our compensation for you." Li Jinshan said,
He took out his checkbook.
Tell me, how much do you want, one million or two million? We can still afford this amount of money.
"Twenty million." Qin Tao said.
Li Jinshan's hand suddenly froze, and he looked at Qin Tao with surprised eyes, as if he had heard something incredible.
Twenty million? Are you kidding?
You only asked for 10 million for the technical output of the natural gas ship. Now, some drawings of the Minsk cost 20 million?
How can this be?
"I found the design unit of the Minsk and took a lot of their drawings. At the same time, I bought several designers at a high price and obtained the modification drawings they gave to Ah San." Qin Tao said: "
I spent fifteen million on these drawings, and now I want twenty million from you, which is not much."
"Modification drawings?"
"That's right, Asan paid 30 million US dollars in advance for the modification drawings. The original team of the Vanier Design Bureau designed the drawings for ski jump takeoff and blocked landing. With this design drawing, you only need to modify it directly according to the drawings.
The aircraft carrier can be modified," Qin Tao said.
It was designed by the original team of Vanier Design Bureau! With the drawings, the aircraft carrier can be transformed directly.
So, is this a lot of money?
Not much!
Ah San spent 30 million on the design. Now, Qin Tao only wants 20 million from them. Is that still more?
Li Jinshan swallowed and then asked Qin Tao: "Excuse me, can we take a look at the overall design drawing first?"
There are too many detailed drawings, and they won’t be able to show them. However, asking to see a general design drawing is not too much. After all, this is a big business of 20 million US dollars, and people have to see something real.
"Of course." Qin Tao said, making a gesture to Cong Ju standing aside.
So, Cong Ju took a notebook, put it on the coffee table, and opened it.
Several people leaned their heads over and looked at the design document that Qin Tao opened. Then, a perspective view of an aircraft carrier appeared on the screen.
The deck where Huayue takes off is so spectacular, the ship island on the side is still tall, and the various internal arrangements can be clearly seen.
If you only look at a rendering, it won't make much sense, even if an artist can draw it.
However, this kind of perspective view is different. Every part inside can be seen clearly after enlarging it. This shows that it must have been improved bit by bit from the original design drawing.
Take this information back, and they can start working directly based on this information!
Thinking of this, Li Jinshan felt excited. It was definitely worth spending another 20 million for these design drawings.
Moreover, he also has the confidence. Recently, the stock price of their Dazhou Company has been rising continuously. They can easily raise these funds through the stock market, 20 million, it's a piece of cake.
"Mr. Qin, please give us one day to raise funds and wait until tomorrow night for us to trade." Li Jinshan said: "We are willing to pay 20 million to purchase all the design drawings, which can be regarded as making up for your company's losses.
"
During the bidding, the two sides were in a tense situation. However, when the bidding is over and the dust has settled, a smart businessman will never be resentful. The most important thing is to continue doing business and making money. If you want to do big business, then
Gotta have no morals.
Now Qin Tao has made it clear that they want to earn five million from these design drawings, and Li Jinshan can accept it and regard it as making friends.
"Okay." Qin Tao agreed.
The matter was settled in this way. Who said Qin Tao didn't make money? He made a few bad drawings and made 20 million!
If he is still dealing with Asan, it would be unethical for Qin Tao to do so. However, the Pacific Fleet has been tricked by the Northern Fleet. How could Nicholas care about such a thing? Even if it reaches Nicholas' ears,
Nikolai didn't say anything. After all, Qin Tao helped them raise the price and sold a warship that could only sell for 5 million US dollars in scrap metal for a high price of 80 million. Moreover, Moscow also promised that these
All the money is reserved for the Pacific Fleet to improve their conditions, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the Northern Fleet's robbing of business.
Nicholas should be grateful to Qin Tao.
Sure enough, not long after the South Korean people left, Zaitsev came over and took Qin Tao to the headquarters.
"Qin, thank you so much for today." Nikolai's face was full of excitement: "We sold that scrap iron ship for 80 million, 80 million! With this fund, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"
During the day at the auction, Nikolai could still hold on, remain calm and calm, but now, Nikolai could not restrain his inner ecstasy at all.
Even if they make a business deal with Asan, a billion-dollar meal will require many people to divide it up. If it falls to their Pacific Fleet, 100 million is not bad.
What now?
Ah San paid 30 million in advance in the early stage, and with the 80 million now sold, it’s already over 100 million. It’s worth it, it’s absolutely worth it!
"Well, Nicholas, congratulations."
"Qin, we can't let you work in vain. After these funds become mobile, we will give you three million as a reward." Nicholas said to Qin Tao.
Qin Tao smiled and shook his head: "No, I didn't do anything, I just talked. We are friends, and we always ask for money, so it's no secret. By the way, have you received the full amount?"
Nicholas nodded: "Of course, the funds have entered the account of our Pacific Fleet!"
"Well, it's better to be safer." Qin Tao said: "In terms of the power system, aren't there still a few boilers left? Even if it can only drive one propeller, it can still move forward slowly. After entering the Dazhou Shipyard,
Let them take over again so that they don’t change their minds midway.”
In fact, once the money goes into the account of the Pacific Fleet, it cannot be recovered. Even if the people of Dazhou Company want to go back on their word, it is useless. After all, when the auction was held, Nikolai made it clear that it was a shell.
, dismantle it and sell it for scrap, it makes no sense whether the boiler is broken or not.
However, Dazhou Company still has 20 million in design fees! Qin Tao has to ensure that he can receive the money. If the secret is exposed too early, Li Jinshan will find out that it is a trap. If he does not give Qin Tao money, Qin Tao will be blind, so
, it will have to be covered up for a while.
"That's natural. They are not familiar with this warship. We have the obligation to send the warship back to them and deliver it to their door." Nicholas agreed very much.
"By the way, Qin, is there any junk in our fleet that you like?" Nicholas is also a real person. After receiving so many benefits from Qin Tao, he must let Qin Tao get some good things back!
"It's shabby. I did see some of them, such as the decommissioned supply ship."
"No problem, you drag it away."
"By the way, I see that the fleet's aviation base seems to have eliminated a batch of large MiG-25s?"
Large MiG-25?
Nikolai reacted instantly. Was Qin Tao talking about those Tu-22m2 bombers?
When Qin Tao came to Nikolai to do business, he visited the Naval Aviation Base and saw those aircraft. He thought they were MiG-25s made of stainless steel. Zubayev, the head of the base, introduced to Qin Tao that they were MiG-25s made of stainless steel.
Tu-22m, however, Qin Tao still used the name of this large MiG-25.
What does Qin Tao want to do?
For Lao Maozi, supersonic bombers like the Tu-22m are advanced weapons and equipment. After all, this is a killer weapon tailor-made for the US aircraft carrier formation.
Now, Qin Tao wants this kind of thing?
Even if Nikolay is in a high and powerful position, he still has to think carefully about it.
"Those airplanes are all made of aluminum alloy. If we take them back, we can get a lot of aluminum alloy. We produce natural gas ships and we have to use aluminum alloy to make tanks. Domestic aluminum alloy production is not high and there is not enough."
Qin Tao said.
"Aluminum alloy?" Nikolai thought of something: "In our Pacific Fleet, all the cannibals have been eliminated. If you want aluminum alloy, I can get you this kind of aircraft for the scrap price."
"Cannibals?" Qin Tao was a little confused.
"It's the prototype of Tu-22m, Tu-22." Nicholas explained: "In terms of size, they are almost the same."
"Oh." Qin Tao could only give up.
The Tu-22 was a useless product created by the Tupolev Design Bureau. It was completely designed to meet the requirements of the army.
In order to achieve high-speed flight, the cross-sectional area of the fuselage of this kind of aircraft is very small, the cockpit is narrow, and the field of vision is very poor, which seriously affects the flight. The landing gear is also bad. When taking off and taxiing at high speed, the landing gear often shakes.
The engines are installed on both sides of the vertical tail root, which makes the aircraft difficult to control. There are three people sitting in the small aircraft: the captain, the navigator, and the weapons system controller. Only one person is driving, which is very stressful, and the accident occurs because of this.
.
The Tu-22s that were in service in 1962 were all retired in 1992. In thirty years, more than 70 of them crashed. You must know that its total production is less than 300. This ratio is simply comparable to that of the
Three.
So, Figure-22
The cannibal nickname came like this.
Not only the Tu-22, but also the Tu-22m has begun to be gradually retired.
There are three Tu-22m aviation regiments in the Pacific Fleet. Among them, the 183rd regiment is stationed in Vladivostok. All of them were retired this year. The 570th regiment will be retired in 1994, and only the 568th regiment remains. By 1996
At that time, he replaced his equipped Tu-22m2 with Tu-22m3 and became the only long-range air strike force of the Pacific Fleet.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The retired Tu-22m that Qin Tao saw was the equipment of the 183rd Regiment.
Nicholas still had some concerns about selling these Tu-22m2, but Qin Tao was not discouraged because the people under him were much greedier than him.
the next day.
Accompanied by Zaitsev, Qin Tao came to the aviation base inside the fleet base. Near the hillside, all retired aircraft were stored.
Tu-22 bombers are parked in rows. These beasts that once dominated the sky are now quietly waiting for the end of their fate.
"Zaitsev, we need an excavator and a special hydraulic shear to cut these aircraft into parts for easy shipment."
"Okay, I'll go coordinate." Zaitsev left.
"Qin, you are a great benefactor to our Pacific Fleet." Zubayev accompanied Qin Tao and said with emotion as he walked: "All our arrears of wages have been paid, and the payment is still in US dollars."
The ruble is not valuable. If you pay it today, you can buy two bottles of vodka. Tomorrow, you may only be able to buy one bottle, and the day after tomorrow you may only be able to buy a bottle cap. Therefore, their domestic US dollars are secretly circulating. After all,
The dollar is strong.
After the Minsk was sold, the Pacific Fleet's funds became abundant. They simply paid their subordinates wages directly in US dollars to avoid being worried about Moscow.
Nikolai's move won the favor of everyone in the fleet, and the senior officials in the fleet were even more grateful to Qin Tao. They knew that without Qin Tao, the scrap metal ship would not be able to sell for the sky-high price.
"These are what I should do." Qin Tao said: "We are friends, of course we should help if we can, and the company that spends the money is the company of the South Kimchi Country."
After Qin Tao finished speaking, he frowned.
"Qin, do you have any problems?"
"There's not enough scrap metal! It's too little. Can you get me two of the scrap metal over there?"
Qin Tao said, pointing to the large MiG-25s.
