Chapter 487: Accidentally became the God of Gamblers
The construction of 056 was also very smooth.
Of course, since the number 055 has not yet been used, the Navy has not officially assigned the level number 056. Currently, in shipyards and the Navy, he is called No. 666.
For such a frigate with a displacement of about one thousand tons, Mingzhou Shipyard can be confident that it will be launched within a year. However, it was not until the third day that Qin Tao returned to Mingzhou Shipyard that this ship
Frigate No. 666 was finally launched.
There is no other reason than simply lack of time.
When the design was originally in progress, Yang Dawei and the others did not take it seriously and procrastinated. When the Navy's funds arrived, they began to build it. The slipway was full. Although a track was reserved for No. 770, the construction workers were not ready.
Not enough!
The 054 side needed experienced workers, and some of them were diverted from building submarines. Later, the progress was accelerated for a while, but as the aircraft carriers and cruisers returned to the shipyard, a large number of workers were diverted again.
In the words of the navy, they want to whip the Mingzhou Group away with a whip.
Now, it is already August of 1995, less than two years away from that important moment, and Mingzhou Group has just launched this warship!
This makes many people very dissatisfied. Especially those who are waiting to welcome it.
Many leaders came to the launch ceremony that day. Liu Wu, the leader of the Pearl of the Orient, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction in person after meeting Qin Tao.
"President Qin, although this warship has a low displacement, it is of great significance. It represents the new image of our navy. Your Mingzhou Group's arrogance is getting bigger and bigger, and you are actually slacking on our work."
Liu Wu is really unhappy. This is an urgent matter, and you are still delaying it!
It has just been launched now. According to this progress, it will take another one or two years to outfit the troops. The weapons and equipment just delivered to the troops have no combat effectiveness. Even the naval officers are not familiar with the operation. They will be stationed in the new port. What if something happens?
What to do if there is an accident?
"You can't blame us." Qin Tao said: "We built it according to the allocation given by the Navy. If the Navy's allocation is not in place, our project will not be fast!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Wu became speechless.
This reason is really good.
How can you work without money?
Although Mingzhou Group is very rich, it can't keep giving out money, right?
"Needless to say, this 666, even the money for polishing the aircraft carrier has not been paid to us by the Navy." Qin Tao said: "Although our group has a big business, it cannot continue like this!"
Since the Oriental Sea Dacheng is not currently in the Navy's order and is still flying under the flag of Chuanglu Company, the Navy has to hold it back first. Anyway, when Chuanglu Company just opened, it made a lot of money.
Just use that money first.
Moreover, Qin Tao is also willing to pay to repair the aircraft carrier.
However, 666 is different. It is a light frigate that was originally forced on the Mingzhou Group by the Navy. Qin Tao doesn't like it at all. If the money is not in place, how can he work well for them?
"Well, even if the money is not in place, this is a historic task. You must complete it on time and you must not delay our use." Liu Wu said.
"We can't guarantee it until the money is in place. Otherwise, let the ship be outfitted by other brother units?"
Liu Wu was speechless for Qin Tao's irresponsible words, but he had no choice yet.
"The Navy is short of money right now, Mr. Qin, please show your style." Seeing Qin Tao's uncooperative look, another leader on the side said.
Qin Tao smiled. On the one hand, the navy's funds are not in place. On the other hand, he values differently. This ship No. 666 is indeed very important. It is to show the navy's face, but can face be used as food?
Compared with face, strength is more important! Therefore, he can't wait to renovate the No. 138 10,000-ton destroyer. He must allow this warship to participate in next year's operations. This is the most important thing.
Therefore, No. 666 can only be postponed for a while. Even if the funds are in place, the manpower is still insufficient. How can there be so many people.
After next year, it will be no small matter to dispatch a group of people to complete the outfitting.
However, you have to find something for these people to do so that they don't have to focus on you all the time.
Qin Tao rolled his eyes and had an idea.
"Dear leaders, you can't let the horses run and not let them eat grass, right? Your lack of money is your business and has nothing to do with us. In short, we have to have money to work, even if you scold me
He is an unscrupulous businessman with no patriotism, and I accept that."
Everyone smiled bitterly, Qin Tao was not patriotic? Then there would be no second patriotic person. The development of the navy and even the aviation force all depended on Qin Tao.
However, when Qin Tao said this, he made it clear that he would not build it if he didn't pay for it.
"It seems to be a very difficult thing for you. In fact, if you change your thinking, it will be relatively simple."
Change your thinking, simple?
Everyone looked at Qin Tao curiously: "How to do it?"
"Sell the decommissioned frigates of our navy. Won't we make money by selling them?"
I thought what kind of plan Qin Tao would propose, but he actually let his own seller be the one!
Everyone's faces looked a little ugly.
Three years of new life, three years of old life, and another three years of mending and repairing. Everyone is used to living like this. If a house is broken and worth millions, how can it be willing to be a seller?
Besides, can the Navy’s little possessions be sold? Who would like it?
"Mr. Qin, please tell me in detail." A leader said, this was purely a sign of respect for Qin Tao.
"Currently, our navy has begun to receive 054 frigates. The previous frigates were too old and must be gradually eliminated. It would be uneconomical to directly dismantle these eliminated frigates and sell them for scrap. I suggest that the retired frigates be
After dismantling some of the key equipment from the frigate, it was sold to the Coast Guard."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the People's Republic of China was first founded, due to the lack of awareness of the ocean, there was no interest in maritime police work at all. Until July 1964, the country
It was only when the Oceanographic Bureau was formally established that a professional marine management unit was established. However, it was still managed by the Navy at first.
By 1978, with the spring breeze of reform, major changes had taken place in the maritime situation. The ocean needed to be strengthened in comprehensive management, and ocean development and utilization activities needed to be strengthened in overall coordination. The country also began to reform and changed the administration of the Navy to the administration of the Science and Technology Commission. At the same time, The "China's Marine Environmental Protection Law" was drafted. In order to defend this law, a fleet of maritime patrol and surveillance ships was established.
In the same year, the Navy transferred some personnel to form a maritime public security patrol team.
Together with the patrol team of the fishery administration unit, there are three police units in total.
These three police forces were merged into the Armed Police Headquarters, and the Coast Guard Brigade was also assigned to it.
This lasted until 1988, when the Maritime Public Security Patrol was renamed the Coast Guard and was placed under the leadership of the Public Security Border Defense. As a maritime armed law enforcement force directly led by the Public Security Bureau, it is mainly responsible for safeguarding national territorial sea sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, exercising national administrative power, and maintaining Maritime security order, serving economic construction and development and other functions.
Its mission is the same as that of the coast guard of other countries.
Therefore, from this perspective, the Coast Guard and the Customs are not the same department. However, since they are maritime police, it is of course their unshirkable responsibility to combat smuggling. They do not know how many smuggling gangs they have cracked down on, and they do not know how many smuggling gangs they have fought at sea. Get up police mission.
This also means that the Coast Guard has a lot of money!
"Sell it to the Coast Guard?" Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Qin Tao's suggestion.
"Our Type 01 frigates were all decommissioned last year. However, this kind of warship uses a steam turbine and needs to burn a boiler. The Coast Guard will definitely look down on it." The leaders present have already analyzed: "As for the Type 65 frigates, they are all from the Southern Fleet. They treat them like treasures and are reluctant to part with them. The most suitable one for us at the moment is 053k!"
"That Meritorious Service 531? Wouldn't it be a pity if it were sold to the Coast Guard?" Someone raised objections.
After the Type 65 frigate, there is the 053k. At that time, the navy was in urgent need of air defense power, so this frigate was specially designed as an air defense frigate. It was planned to carry the famous Hongqi-61 air defense missile.
It's a pity that this kind of missile was difficult to produce, so it was not until the late 1980s that it was finally installed on warships. By that time, it was already outdated.
A total of two warships of the same model were produced, with hull numbers 531 and 532. The second one suffered a serious collision and was withdrawn from active service early. Only No. 531 was retired last year.
If it is suitable, only this No. 531 is the most suitable, but this is a meritorious frigate that has participated in the battles in the southern seas!
According to the original plan, after the warship is decommissioned, it will be put on display at the Naval Museum as a testimony of the navy's achievements. After all, in the navy's sequence, there are not many warships that have participated in battles.
If you sell it to the Coast Guard to make money, isn't it also selling your honor?
"Which warships to sell is not my concern, but as long as you can sell one or two, you should be able to raise enough money for outfitting. If you want to see this warship put into service as soon as possible, then you have to think Find a way to raise money.”
At this time, Qin Tao felt like Huang Shiren. The navy was like Yang Bailao, who needed to sell his daughter in order to raise money.
"Oh, it would be great if our navy could have the ability to make money like your Mingzhou Group. Even your green startup company is so rich."
"How come the Green Venture Company has money? We are almost bankrupt." Qin Tao said.
According to Qin Tao's plan, the Oriental Sea Dacheng has been acquired. With the gradual modification, the true face of Lushan will always be revealed. At this time, Jin Chan needs to escape from his shell and let the Green Venture Company go bankrupt.
"What's the matter of bankruptcy? The person in charge of your green company, whose name is... Vitalia, she has now become the female gambling goddess in Ma Hong Kong. She can make millions by just going to the casinos.
How can it go bankrupt?"
What?
Qin Tao opened his eyes wide in surprise.
At first, Vitalia came to seek refuge with Qin Tao. According to Qin Tao's theory, Vitalia came to find a way out.
Coming to the East and creating a green company together was originally a simple project, and the green company was just a shell.
Who would have thought that a green startup company would be getting further and further away from bankruptcy? How could this happen?
"Leaders, the time has come." Qin Baoshan interrupted everyone's conversation: "Now, can our warship be launched into the water?"
"Of course." Liu Wu became excited again. We will talk about raising money later. Now, they are here to participate in the launching ceremony of No. 666.
"This warship is painted white and looks very pure, just like a girl." One person sighed: "It looks much prettier than the navy gray we used before!"
"That's right, our Pearl of the Orient's naval equipment must have this bright color."
Everyone is already familiar with the appearance of this warship. This stealth appearance looks very tall, and when combined with the white paint, it becomes even more conspicuous.
Qin Tao smiled: "Everyone, this is not just for eye candy. This is a special paint for naval ships specially developed by our relevant domestic departments. Our No. 666 is the first warship to enjoy this paint."
Is there any knowledge about this paint?
Everyone is curious.
However, now the launching ceremony must be held first. Liu Wu, as the user representative, is personally responsible for the action of smashing the bottles. No special ropes are needed for hanging. He just throws the bottles and the wine will overflow on the bow of the ship.
During the lively ceremony, No. 666, like several other warships, launched into the water backwards. Amidst the splashing waves, everyone applauded.
Although the displacement is not large, this warship is of great significance!
At this time, a dark cloud blocked the sun. In everyone's sight, the appearance of No. 666, which was waiting to be outfitted, began to gradually change. It was originally white, but now, it seems to have turned slightly gray!
"Is it a chameleon?" one leader said in surprise.
"Yes, it can be said that this kind of warship will appear bright white under strong sunlight, and dark gray when the light is not strong. Especially on the sea and sky lines, this color is very close to the background
The color tone can be integrated with the sea and sky lines.”
"That's amazing!" Everyone present sighed with emotion.
Needless to say, other things, just the paint, are so awesome!
"Actually, the discoloration is secondary. It can also be said to be an unexpected gain. When the relevant departments studied this coating, the first thing they considered was the absorption of radar waves."
Absorb radar waves?
Everyone opened their eyes wide again.
Speaking of cloaking devices, they are definitely the most advanced things in this era. They can make everything from airplanes to warships invisible.
In addition to appearance design, stealth coating is also crucial.
Experts have developed many different types of absorbing coatings, hoping to choose the most suitable one.
Several types have been developed now, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, ferrite absorbing coatings are cheap, but the absorption effect is not high; carbonyl iron absorbing coatings have strong absorption capabilities, but have high surface density; these absorbing coatings are used in aircraft
It is absolutely inappropriate to put it on. Applying a layer of paint will increase the weight of the aircraft by half a ton or even one ton, which is definitely not worth the loss. But it is no problem on a warship.
The absorbing paint for aircraft is still under development, but it is already available for warships. In the past, Eastern warships only had a tall and stealthy appearance, but there was no relevant paint. Now this gap has finally been filled.
Moreover, the current paint also has the property of changing color, which is an unexpected gain.
The tugboat started to move and towed the launched No. 666 to the outfitting dock. The vacant slipway will be used to build the next foreign trade frigate.
Everyone also came to the outfitting dock and boarded the warship that had not yet been outfitted. They were impressed by its beautiful appearance. After this warship sails to the Pearl of the Orient, it will definitely become the most dazzling presence there.
!
Qin Tao had enough fun accompanying the leaders, and stayed with the leaders for dinner after dark. Some leaders even stayed in the Mingzhou Group's guest house for one night, and that was all.
After seeing off the leaders, Qin Tao also embarked on the road to Ma Gang.
"Is Vitalia really that amazing? Is there any inside story involved?" On the way, Qin Tao asked Xu Zhengyang a series of questions.
As Qin Tao's secretary, Xu Zhengyang was very qualified. He immediately handed the information he had compiled overnight to Qin Tao and gave a brief introduction.
"Many of these things are unclear. At the beginning, perhaps Mr. He did take care of her under his instructions, but later on, Vitalia made more and more money, and it was impossible to keep her winning by blocking the market.
Moreover, the identity of the person who is confronting Vitalia is getting higher and higher, and the one who is blocking the field must be impartial. However, Vitalia can win almost every time, and after winning, she can also
He retreated unscathed and was not fond of fighting. He often only played one or two games. Over time, he got such a nickname."
In fact, Xu Zhengyang, the secretary, has a lot of work to do, so he cannot cover everything. He only started to sort out the information last night. After sorting it out, he came to a conclusion that made him sigh: some people, in some aspects,
Really talented.
Of course, the most important thing is: Vitalia’s backstage is tough and no one dares to mess with it. If other people enter the jam and win money, they won’t be able to take the money back and stop jamming.
How can I leave after losing everything?
But who dares to offend Vitalia? Look at what happened to the boss who provoked Vitalia in the first place. You have to stop.
"Oh, Vitalia really caused me a lot of trouble." Qin Tao also sighed with emotion.
Qin Tao couldn't always take Vitalia with him. After the Oriental Sea Castle came back, Qin Tao and Vitalia were separated. Vitalia couldn't always pester Qin Tao, so he put all his energy
After enjoying eating, drinking and having fun, you accidentally became a god of gambling?
With such emotion, Qin Tao came to Magang, and first went to the headquarters of the Green Innovation Company. Several employees inside were working listlessly.
"Where is your Mr. Wei?"
"Wei always sleeps. She sleeps during the day and plays at night." An employee said casually, raised his head and glanced, then lowered his head, seeming to be very dismissive of Qin Tao, but he seemed to have thought of something. The next moment
, and suddenly stood up from the chair.
"Mr. Qin, welcome. Mr. Qin, please go to the VIP room and I will make you a cup of coffee." The employee said nervously.
Mr. Qin!
Although it cannot be seen from the outside, there have been various rumors for a long time. Their Green Venture Company has shares in Mingzhou Group, and the relationship between Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group and Vitalia, the boss of their Green Venture Group, is very close.
More than usual.
Mr. Qin came, but they actually ignored him.
"Okay." Qin Tao nodded and walked to the VIP room.
Not long after, Vitalia came running over excitedly: "Qin, you're finally here! During the time you were away, I was bored to death and found some men to play with, but I soon got tired of it.
Then, I had no choice but to join in the fun in the game, but I was very restrained and only played one or two games at a time. Who would have thought that they would always let me go!"
Let you?
Qin Tao was speechless at Vitalia's statement. Who would give in to a female gambling god?
Luck is one thing, skill is another. The most important thing is that Vitalia is not greedy for money, she just goes there with a playful mentality.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Greed is the most important reason why gamblers lose money.
At this time, Qin Tao continued to ask with infinite emotion in his heart: "Then how much money do you have now?"
"It's not much. Every time I take tens of thousands to play. If I'm lucky, I can earn a few million back. Now, it's probably a few billion. I haven't counted the exact number. Qin, you
If necessary, this money can be given to you at any time, anyway, it was originally earned with the company’s money.”
Billions!
Even if Vitalia is talking about Hong Kong dollars, it is still hundreds of millions of RMB and more than 100 million U.S. dollars. This Vitalia is really amazing!
"However, I have recently felt that it is no longer interesting to go to the market. I settled the 15k, which is really interesting."
What? 15k was settled by Vitalia?
I lost money at first, okay? If you play like this, you will have a bad reputation in the world!
Qin Tao was speechless: "How did you do it?"
"I just followed what you taught me. I brought some things back from China and sold them to some people who couldn't survive in the Pearl of the Orient and asked them to come to Ma Hong Kong for development. Then, they had a conflict with 15k. I
But I really didn’t do anything!”
Qin Tao is a little confused. You are playing with fire. You think it is fun. What about the future? Our security work will be in trouble in the future!
However, Qin Tao still held back his anger. After all, he had no right to criticize this eldest sister.
"Have you killed someone? Don't leave any trouble." Qin Tao could only ask this.
"Of course, my head exploded, just like smashing a watermelon with a fist." Vitalia said: "I was looking for men in a nearby hotel and saw it all with my own eyes. It was so interesting.
"
Come on, a Pandora's box has been opened. It will not be easy to close the devil in the future.
"As you get richer and richer, the follow-up issues of our planned green startup company will no longer be possible!" Qin Tao continued to worry.
The company was originally planned to go bankrupt, but now the company’s boss has become a gambling god. How could it be possible?
Output them all at once? Of course not, it would be bad for Vitalia’s reputation!
"Our company has become rich, so we can no longer look down on that broken ship. Isn't it okay?" Vitalia said: "Or, there was an accident when the ship was being renovated. After our company evaluated it, for the sake of safety,
, decided to abandon the ship."
It’s not that our company has a problem and we can’t afford it, it’s that our company doesn’t like it!
