The "Nightingale" was purchased for US$2.7 million. This price is really an unexpected surprise.
It also left a considerable part of the money Gu Kun had prepared previously with nowhere to spend.
Before Gu Kun came to Blackland, his psychological price was that as long as it was no more than 4 million US dollars, it would be acceptable if the matter was completed. If it could be lowered to 3.5 million US dollars, it would be regarded as an excellent negotiation efficiency.
Now it’s time to complete the task unexpectedly.
Even if we add some additional military equipment in the end and spend 300,000 yuan to top it off, it will only be capped at 300,000 yuan after spending too much money.
The day after the contract was finalized, Gu Kun returned to the Mankaski Hotel, closed the door, and secretly settled the accounts alone in the guest room.
"The US$7 million in international money orders that Bilson helped me made was paid out with US$2.6 million, leaving US$4.452 million in cash. The cash smuggling account paid US$400,000. These days, the travel expenses and extravagant treats have accumulated.
After spending 100,000 in entertainment fees, we still have 4.7 million US dollars in cash..."
Cash is the most free, and the Blackland foreign exchange control in 1994 was ineffective.
It is well known that the exchange rate of Treasury bonds has collapsed, and Blackland officials also know that even many Blackland people only recognize foreign exchange, so the officials do not dare to block the entry and exit of foreign exchange.
Even if you can't spend it, you can bring the remaining 400,000 yuan back to Lanfang. As long as the security work is good enough, there will be no problem.
However, international bills of exchange all come with a time limit, an accepting bank, and a series of conditions. Bilson had already handled it for him, and Gu Kun didn't want to bother with it any more.
In addition, it seems that there are indeed a lot of bargains in Heikelan, which are worth searching for. He also has the idea of observing reselling opportunities.
"What can I buy with the 4.4 million money order?" Gu Kun pondered this question and called Du Guowei on the hotel's internal line and asked him to make a list of the Kherson Shipyard's current unsaleable and pending fixed assets.
Take a look.
Du Guowei quickly helped him get it done. 15 minutes later, holding a fax, he knocked on the door of Gu Kun's room panting: "Boss, the information you want - why, haven't you bought enough?"
"It's a rare opportunity, I want to see more." Gu Kun answered vaguely and casually. After all, the boss is not obligated to answer the employee's answer too clearly.
Du Guowei just turned around and left.
"Stop." Gu Kun noticed something strange.
"What's wrong? Boss, are you thinking of asking for other information?" Du Guowei rubbed his hands.
Gu Kun looked at the other person up and down: "Are you in a hurry? You are out of breath after running so much. Your body is too weak. Scholars should also pay attention to exercise."
Du Guowei smiled awkwardly, but he was proud in his heart. He hesitated for a while, but still couldn't hide his desire to show off, so he leaned into Gu Kun's ear and said:
"Boss, I plan to get married when I return to China. In fact, in the past few days, I hooked up with a female employee of Manager Cheryshev's unit... As you know, when I was in China, although I worked in the design institute intermittently, I had three
For four years, it’s not my turn to wait in line for a house. In a big city like Shanghai and Jiangsu, if you can’t get a house, how can you have a woman with you? Don’t others think of me as a country boy?
Now I have figured it out, I just need to find someone who is willing to come back to Lanzhou and live with me, no matter if she is a native or a foreign girl, their life is so hard this year, and their requirements are also low. The newspaper said that in 20 years, China will
There are 30 million more bachelors than women of the same age, so I regard it as a contribution to the country and reduce the pressure of competition."
Du Guowei spoke very slowly at first, and did not intend to elaborate. He just kept talking, as if he was afraid that his boss would regard him as an irregular person, so he couldn't help but explain in more detail.
Gu Kun looked up and down and realized that when he asked him to do something, he might have disturbed his good things. This guy couldn't stay in the hotel room...
He joked in a half-warning manner: "If you want to find a foreign girl, I won't interfere, but don't just drag anyone into the house. If you want an honest and responsible person, don't drag an ex-kgB slut back."
"
Du Guowei looked proud: "How is it possible? It has been written in the spy war. The swallows of kgB have been trained in that field. I have... passed that. She is a young girl from a good family. When the time comes, you have to help us naturalize orchids."
Fang’s nationality.”
"Leave it to me." As long as there are no safety risks, Gu Kun is still very generous to his subordinates, and he doesn't want to disturb the other person's good things. "Then you go ahead and do your own thing. When you have time, help me find a Nikola
The Yev Shipyard’s for-sale list may not necessarily contain that many worth buying after reading this.”
Du Guowei was busy dodging people, so naturally he refused to accept anything: "Okay, boss, look at it first, I will ask for it for you when I have time during dinner - I have to avoid Cheryshev's people a little bit to do this.
Otherwise, he would think that we have money and would not continue to spend it on him."
Gu Kun smiled and said: "Stupid, why bother hiding from Cheryshev? At worst, even if we finally get the order from Nikolayev Shipyard, we can still give them an extra introduction fee to the people at Kherson Shipyard. As long as it's private
If your favor is in place, who cares about your public business?"
Du Guowei was obedient. He agreed to whatever Gu Kun said and hurried downstairs to continue his good work.
Gu Kun returned to the house and sighed for a while, thinking that it was really not easy for a Heklan woman in 1994.
Even jobs that were considered respectable in the past, such as being a clerk in a good family, have to worry about their precarious situation. It is found that weak foreigners, as long as they look unmarried and have some career prospects, are eager to get married.
After sighing, Gu Kun stopped and continued to look through the materials. Unfortunately, valuable information was not always available, so he gained nothing for half an afternoon.
At dinner time, Du Guowei brought him the processing list from the Nikolayev Shipyard.
Gu Kun continued to burn the midnight oil and fight, but this time he came up with an idea quickly.
When he browsed to the "Scrap to be Processed" column, he saw a mothership that was more than 20 years old and had been decommissioned for several years.
"Huh? Isn't this the Kiev-class ship 'Kharkov'? Yes, four of this class were built in the pre-ussR era, and each of the four major fleets was assigned one.
Instead, Kiev went to the Baltics, Novoroxis went to the north, Baku went to the Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok, and Kharkiv stayed in the Black Sea, so it is now classified as Blackland.
.
After the ussR was disbanded in 1992, Blackland decommissioned the old ship that had served for 18 years and scrapped it because it could not afford it..."
(Note: The name "Kharkov" is made up. There is no such ship on earth, please do not substitute it)
Gu Kun recalled what he had seen in his previous life and vaguely remembered that according to the original history of this ship, after it was decommissioned in 1992, it had been exposed to wind and sun for several years, and it had been looking for a buyer to dismantle it as scrap steel. Later, it was dismantled in 1995.
In 2000, it was bought by Daewoo Shipbuilding in South Korea for about four to five million U.S. dollars, and it was sold at the price of scrap steel.
After all, this is a pile of scrap steel weighing 30,000 tons.
However, historically, after being purchased by Daewoo Shipbuilding, Nambang seemed to have failed to dismantle it as planned. In the end, it seemed that it was turned into an amusement park such as a museum or a theme park.
When he thought of this, Gu Kun couldn't help but seriously ponder the feasibility:
"I just have enough spare money... It should be no problem to buy it. Historically, men's gangs can build museums, so I will build a maritime museum. The ones I salvage from sunken ships are not worth selling, but there are archaeological
And junk things with exhibition value are thrown inside and displayed...
However, the biggest problem now is that if I buy an aircraft carrier and open a museum, I won’t have enough money in a short period of time. I don’t have much assets now, only tens of millions of dollars, and I often spend four to five million dollars in such a slow-turnover situation.
Is it inappropriate for the project?"
From a capital turnover perspective, it is definitely inappropriate.
Gu Kun hesitated for a while until he figured out something.
Some things that were bought before the conflict between Oceania and the East in 1996 were subject to much lighter supervision than after the relationship deteriorated in 1996. If it had been until 1996, maybe even the Ottoman Bosporus
Not necessarily passable.
At worst, just hold it for a year or two and just wait for the value to increase.
