The Persians were inspecting the goods, and Zhou Qingfeng did not wait any longer. He was busy repairing the scattered 'Tomcat' body, engine and other parts one by one, and also 'bought' the IL-76 parked in various places in Ermao.
General Chechevatov is currently tending to join forces with the Know-how faction. He handed over a large amount of active equipment to Mao in the name of the military.
This must be illegal, but no one can blame a warlord leader who has nuclear weapons. The adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Lvov, was in charge of this matter. There was no obstruction from the outside world, and everything went smoothly.
On the other side of the transaction, the 'Holy Light' will use the channels of Minister Chuikov to buy these transport aircraft from Damao in the form of barter.
According to public information, the 'Holy Light' has nothing to do with this low-price resale. However, the transport plane will not even enter the airspace of Mauritius. The pilots and ground crew recruited by Marcos will fly it directly back to the country and complete the registration with the civil aviation department.
Make a book.
What Zhou Qingfeng had to pay was three million US dollars for each light industrial product. Such a cheap price was almost like giving it away for free.
This transaction took place for more than a month. A total of seven cargo ships departed from the domestic port and rushed to Odessa on the Black Sea to be delivered to General Chechevatov as 'payment of goods'.
Every time a cargo ship arrives, a batch of transport planes are sold and departed. The arrival of a large amount of people's livelihood supplies also makes the political situation of the Ermao family more stable. The market is prosperous, which is beneficial to both parties in the transaction.
A total of more than 60 second-hand IL-76s and a large number of spare parts were sold to "Holy Light Aviation". The total transaction value exceeded 400 million US dollars.
In addition, there are some IL-76s that are in poor condition and need to be repaired before they can be traded. Zhou Qingfeng doesn't mind it, at most he will lower the price and cut it in half.
United Airlines was overjoyed with this, and its fleet expanded several times in one go, becoming one of the largest airlines in the country.
Once these precious transportation capacity changed hands, they were used as the best moving tools and continued to pick up garbage at the homes of Da Mao, Er Mao, and even San Mao and Za Mao.
Coupled with the cargo planes rented from the outside world, the daily transportation volume of 'Holy Light Air' has skyrocketed to tens of thousands of tons. The country has never had such a huge air transportation capacity, and has to open more than a dozen routes to ensure transportation.
Take off and land.
In the 1990s, the country was suffering from a lack of transportation capacity, and it was difficult for local economies to develop. Air freight was too expensive, and ordinary goods could only find railway wagons everywhere.
Now, 'Holy Light' has dozens of unplanned large-scale transport aircraft at its disposal, making it much easier to haul goods across the country.
"Holy Light Economic Weekly" made a special report on this, detailing the fleet size, routes, flights and freight charges.
Domestic enterprises instantly found themselves with an additional way to do business. More and more companies wanted to sell goods to the Holy Light, which in turn promoted the construction of the Holy Light Information Network.
Thanks to the guarantee of transportation capacity, the sales volume of the "Holy Light" and "Harmony" series directly exceeded 5 billion in April, with gross profit exceeding half, and the development was extremely rapid.
This irresistible momentum has brought great challenges to the group's management, but it has also brought great benefits. When Watanabe was negotiating a commercial loan in Japan, it was extremely difficult to negotiate a 30 billion yen unsecured loan.
But when more than 60 transport planes arrived, Mitsui Sakura immediately relented and not only lowered the interest rate, but also increased the loan amount to 100 billion yen.
Even a blind person can feel that the rise of the 'Holy Light' has become a reality, and it is absolutely possible to add some chips to it.
The only headache is probably Tianyang's bank, which finally got 30 tons of gold from the Holy Light. In the hope that it would have difficulty operating, it confiscated the mortgage.
Now it seems that we can lend more money to the ‘Holy Light’ flower.
On the other hand, the repaired Tomcat airframes were kept in a scattered state, packaged as scrap steel, loaded into transport aircraft together with the previously purchased Albatross, and shipped back to the country in batches.
It was announced to the public that they were ‘aircraft spare parts’ purchased from Ermao’s family.
Director Ma was rejoicing over the arrival of dozens of transport planes. He really thought they were 'spare parts' and shipped them to the country without much thought. Looking back... I won't mention this matter for now.
After settling the IL-76 deal, Zhou Qingfeng went to Zaporizhia Oblast at the end of March. It was also because of Director Ma's strong request and recommendation that he went to visit Motor Sich Company.
Zaporozhye Oblast is located in the south of Ermaojia and borders the Sea of Azov. It is an important industrial and agricultural production area. It covers an area of less than 30,000 square kilometers and has a population of less than 3 million.
Just because of Uncle Zhou's mischief, there are many factions of the Ermao family. Zaporizhia Oblast is also controlled by the Public Knowledge Faction, but it is not the same as the Public Knowledge Faction in Kiev.
The capital of Zaporozhye Oblast is Zaporozhye City, located on the banks of the Dnieper River. The city is small in area and has a population of less than one million, but it has gathered the essence of many manufacturing industry chains in the Ermao family.
Motor Sich aside, the city's Dnieper Specialty Steel Plant produces titanium alloys and other high-end steels, making great contributions to the alliance's aerospace and missile undertakings.
Motor Sich Company is also in the process of being privatized. Its president is Bogulayev, a spirited old man. Zhou Qingfeng came to visit in the name of "Holy Light", and the old man personally went to the airport to greet him.
Bogulayev's attitude was unexpectedly enthusiastic. He took Zhou Qingfeng to visit Motor Sich's engine design and manufacturing plant, showing off several of the company's current main products.
As a comprehensive aviation power company, Motorsic has accumulated decades of experience in product lines. Although its technology is not the most advanced in the world, it has a complete range of products in almost all categories, from large to small, from helicopters to jetliners.
The key is that the intellectuals in Zaporizhia are quite open-minded now. They like the West but do not resist the East. There is a basis for cooperation between the two parties. To put it simply, as long as you give money, you can talk about anything.
On the other hand, if you don’t have money, don’t talk nonsense.
The business of ‘Holy Light’ in Da Mao’s family is getting bigger and bigger, and Zhou Qingfeng’s own reputation has also grown accordingly. Domestic goods shipped by sea to Er Mao’s family are good quality and low price due to the good quality control.
In the eyes of the public intellectuals in Zaporozhye, Zhou Qingfeng is like a walking 'piggy bank'. To Zaporozhye's population of less than three million, he is Santa Claus who distributes welfare.
During the formal talks between the two parties, Bogulayev made a "calmly" offer - for only US$5 billion, he could help Holy Light establish an aerospace engine R&D and manufacturing system without reservation.
Zhou Qingfeng laughed loudly after hearing this, but he was complaining in his heart: "I have always used a knife to kill others, but today I met someone who used a knife to kill me. If it were quoted in twenty years, five billion US dollars would naturally be cheap. But now
It was 1992."
Do you think I am the fat sheep of Third Brother? If you catch me, you can make a lot of money. I sold the aircraft carrier for one dollar, but it ended up costing nearly three billion dollars to modify the aircraft carrier.
But the problem is that this offer cannot be said to be expensive. Zhou Qingfeng has always been short-tempered, but he also tactfully expressed that he needs to have "great confidence in the cooperation between the two parties and hopes to conduct substantive negotiations as soon as possible."
Translated - Five billion is too expensive, I want to bargain.
After all, the opportunity is rare!
Money is important, but opportunities are even more important. Industrial development requires not only money, but also opportunities.
China has failed to do two things well after thirty years, one is aviation and the other is chips. Both of these require trial and error by spending money. If you don’t spend money to buy technology today, you will have to spend ten times or a hundred times the money to buy it tomorrow.
product.
It's just that Bogulayev's words are beautiful, but "establishing a system" does not specifically refer to it, which obviously leaves room for error.
Both parties are "air-to-air" and have fully expressed their willingness to cooperate. The specific situation must be discussed with their subordinates.
Zhou Qingfeng is actually a little worried. The international situation may change at any time, and things must be settled quickly and slowly. Otherwise, it will be like the "Genius Airlines" more than 20 years later. It started well, but it dragged on and on.
But 'Holy Light' doesn't have 5 billion US dollars in foreign exchange, not even 500 million US dollars. As for the Japanese yen loan, it is a special loan and can only be used to purchase Japanese goods.
I have no choice, I have to find another fat sheep to slaughter.
Just then, Persia came to the door in a hurry. It was like breaking into the temple door with a sudden illness in the middle of the night, calling the Buddha to help him quickly. It wouldn't be a shame for Zhou 'Buddha' to ask for some incense money.
