Feng Yu thought that since the government had taken into consideration the weapons issue, he will not have to worry about it anymore. But Hou Haitao called him at this time.
"General Manager Feng, are you still awake at this time?"
"Old Hou, what's wrong? Did something happen?" The time difference between New York and Beijing was huge. It was night time in Feng Yu's city, and it should be morning in Beijing.
"You are talking about that incident? There are no changes. The government had already considered everything. Also, the Americans had belittled us. Do they really think they can block us? There are many countries in the world that do not care about the US. "Hou Haitao replied.
That's right. The US is the world's most powerful military. But so what? They are still suffering from setbacks. Also, how long has this war been going on? The US still hasn't won?
Furthermore, you can ask the US to attack Russia. Russia is poor anyway, and according to the war losses, the US will definitely suffer losses, and they might not even win.
"Then why did you call me?"
Feng Yu does not think that Hou Haitao will call him for a chat. Both of them can only be considered as acquaintances, and they are not on the phone frequently.
"General Manager Feng, I remember you are close with a Russian businessman. He is the richest man in Europe. Back then, you bought all the technical blueprints from him, right? "
"You are talking about Kirilenko? Yes. We are good friends, and many of our businesses are partners. My first bucket of gold is all thanks to him. "Feng Yu said this and remembered the time when he sold the bear to Kirilenko.
Kirilenko must have found out that the bear was too expensive, but he did not mention anything about it. After that, both of them started to work together, and he did not mention anything about it.
As for now, even if Feng Yu says that the bear hide is only worth 100 Rubles, Kirilenko will just laugh it off. Compared to the losses he suffered from Feng Yu in the past, with Feng Yu's help, he can earn more than 10 million times.
"General Manager Feng, this Kirilenko is that person's son?" Hou Haitao said Kirilenko's father's name.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Recently, Hua Xia's relationship with Russia is quite good, and there is nothing to be nervous about. Why did Hou Haitao ask this?
"Then can he talk to his father? She seems to have a son who is developing very well. "
"Old Hou, can't we just talk about it? Do you want Kirilenko's help or his father's help? "
"Kirilenko might not be able to help with this matter, but he is very suitable to be a middleman. Our country has just pulled back a scrapped aircraft carrier. You know, it's the one that the Macau businessman bought and originally planned to use as a gambling ship. "
Feng Yu rolled his eyes. Who couldn't see through this kind of method? The Macau businessmen even bought it as a gambling ship. Were they stupid?
Does the boat need to be this big? And they sold it to Hua Xia's military so quickly? The price was the same as when they bought it four years ago. Even if inflation was not taken into account, they still had to consider the interest, right?
That's right, this empty shell does have depreciation, but it is definitely not difficult to sell it. What's more, Feng Yu knew very well that the original price was just a cover. In fact, the price that Hua Xia paid was lower than this.
However, this King of Gamblers also got some benefits. That is, Hua Xia originally planned to introduce a law that allows Hua Xia's people to gamble in Macau casinos. This is because Macau is also Hua Xia's territory, and it is just a special economic zone. But now, this matter was never mentioned again.
In this way, the King of Gamblers' casino interests were guaranteed, and he also got the recognition of the higher-ups. After all, without his help, the aircraft carrier shell would not be in the hands of Hua Xia.
Hua Xia had bought aircraft carriers before. The first aircraft carrier shell was bought by the United Kingdom's scrapped USS Melbourne, and he dismantled it when he came back.
The next two aircraft carriers were the former Soviet Union's Kiev-class aircraft carriers. They came to Hua Xia in 1998 and 2000 respectively. They also experienced many hardships, but these two aircraft carriers had never been refurbished.
These two aircraft carriers had powerful firepower, and they were known as a combination of cruisers and aircraft carriers. They also had anti-ship missiles known as the aircraft carrier killer.
However, these two aircraft carriers had a big problem. They needed the original carrier-based aircraft, and Hua Xia was currently researching his own carrier-based aircraft. Because these two aircraft carriers were equipped with powerful firepower, the deck length was not enough, so they were eventually abandoned. They were only used for simulation training a few times before they were dismantled.
It wasn't until this Varyag that it was truly suitable for Hua Xia. However, when he bought it, he went through more hardships.
This Varyag originally belonged to Ukraine. As early as 1995, Ukraine negotiated with Hua Xia and planned to sell this aircraft carrier to Hua Xia, who urgently needed aircraft carriers.
At this time, the United States interfered. If Hua Xia does not want to be sanctioned by democracy, then he must dismantle all the weapons and equipment on the aircraft carrier.
Hua Xia also wanted the empty aircraft carrier as it still has high research value. But when it was being transported, the United States stopped it again.
In order to join NATO, Turkey chose to forbid this aircraft carrier from passing through its territorial waters. This caused the aircraft carrier to be delayed for another one and a half years.
In order to bring this empty aircraft carrier home, Hua Xia spent more than 30 million USD, and the price of this empty aircraft carrier is only 20 million USD. The shipping cost is more than the goods!
However, Feng Yu knew that this aircraft carrier will be of great help to Hua Xia in the future. It will let Hua Xia have the ability to build his own aircraft carrier.
"Old Hou, didn't that aircraft carrier go home? Why? Does the country still want to buy it? If you lack money, I can sponsor some. "Feng Yu said generously. This aircraft carrier is only worth a few million USD without its weapons!
"No, General Manager Feng, I think you don't understand. We do not want to buy new aircraft carriers now. We need to understand this technology first. What we lack is technology in other areas, such as the dismantled weapons and equipment technology. "
Feng Yu was shocked. "Old Hou, what do you mean? You want me to buy weapons, equipment, and technologies? You think too highly of me. These are the weapons and equipment of an aircraft carrier! "
In the past, Feng Yu had bought many technologies and equipment from the former Soviet Union. But when it comes to important technologies, Kirilenko does not dare to sell them secretly. His father still wants to be promoted.
But now, it's even more difficult. Russia is under Putin's management, and it's much better than before. Those who dare to do anything for money had either migrated, retired, or were arrested. Now, it's not easy to bribe people.
"General Manager Feng, if it is so easy, why do I need to look for you? Furthermore, that Kirilenko's family is very resourceful. If we cannot buy the weapons and equipment technologies, we can also buy the aircraft carrier's basic technologies. This will save us a lot of time. General Manager Feng, for the sake of the country, can you try to ask him? "
Try? Feng Yu is troubled.
