Chapter Seventy-Six: Destroyers Converted into Cruise Ships
Didi β
A swarthy and shiny extended Rolls-Royce came from far and near, and as the car reached the shipyard gate, the horn whistled a few crisp sounds.
Seeing that the person driving was Tang Dunhou, An Huihao couldn't help but straighten up and walked to the side of the car that slowly stopped.
In a moment, the door was pulled open from the inside.
Shen Jiannan, who didn't sleep well, yawned and opened the car door.
"An Huisang. Good morning. β
Early?
It's all three poles in the day, okay?
As a person, An Huihao Er really couldn't understand Shen Jiannan's meaning to Zao, but out of politeness, he still habitually bowed to show his respect.
"Good morning, sir. β
My lord.
Shen Jiannan is very satisfied with this title, An Hui Koji can always distinguish between public and private, not arrogant or impatient, neither because of the slightest neglect of Michiko's relationship with himself, nor because of his own identity.
These two points are particularly rare.
"Hmm. Hop on the bus and let's go inside and see our shipyard. β
"Yes, sir. β
The extended Rolls-Royce is very long, and it will not be crowded with seven or eight people sitting in it.
After getting into the car, An Hui Koji found that there were two women in the car.
One has blonde hair and blue face, the other has blonde hair and blue eyes, and the two of them have imaginary facial features, and they are sisters at first glance.
Enron Kardashian, Ahn Hye Ho Er has seen it, and out of politeness, he nodded to Kardashian as a greeting.
As for the relationship between the two and Shen Jiannan, he didn't think about anything.
This world is the world of the strong, and with Shen Jiannan's status, it is not a problem to want more women, but he did not do it.
Since he was able to manage the Daiichi Industrial Co., Ltd., and someone would inherit the surname of the Ahne family in the future, everything would be enough.
The Baltic Shipyard covers a large area, and cars drive on the concrete roads in the factory, and large steel structures covered with rust can be seen everywhere.
It is all a section of the ship that was suddenly interrupted in the middle of the construction, and a thick layer of rust tells that the shipyard has been shut down for a while.
The factory is very large, but people don't see too many people along the way.
With the shutdown of the factory and the liquidation of its insolvency, many workers who have temporarily lost their jobs can only stay at home and wait for the notice from the factory, and the whole factory looks deserted.
"The investment department has calculated that if we want to resume the operation of the shipyard, we will need to invest about 30 million US dollars. β
"The workers in the factory, according to what you said, have dismissed all the workers over the age of fifty. A subsidy of 20 thousand rubles per person was provided. β
"There are 43 engineers in the engineering department, but last month, 13 engineers submitted their resignation letters and went to China. There were also six engineers, who went to the United States. β
β......β
β......β
β......β
Along the way, An Huihao reported the situation of the Baltic Shipyard to Shen Jiannan.
He barely had to think and didn't pause, apparently in this time he had figured out everything about the factory.
The entire Baltic shipyard covers an area of about 60,000 square meters and has a coastline of about four kilometers. It has three large dry docks and one 500-ton gantry crane and one 800-ton gantry crane. Three outfitting docks and two material docks.
There are still 3,600 registered employees in the factory, including 1,500 technical workers and 24 senior engineers. Middle managers, 60 people.
"The highest value of the plant at the moment is three warships, two of which are destroyers and one is a patrol ship. There is also a half-finished nuclear submarine, but it may be meaningless. β
Pointless?
Shen Jiannan, who was listening absentmindedly, habitually raised his eyebrows.
The nuclear submarine is indeed meaningless to me and to the current Baltic Shipyard, but how can it be meaningless, you must know that the nuclear submarine of the Baltic Shipyard is on a par with Germany and the United States in terms of technology, and whether it is sold for money or used as an exchange bargaining chip, it will be a rich exchange capital.
If you can get it back to your hometown, tsk......
But apparently, from the point of view of a pure entrepreneur, An Hui Koji did not think at all of the usefulness of a half-scrapped nuclear submarine.
Well?
How do you get this thing away?
Or when scrap iron is sold?
Bang - Bang -
The car drove along the road in the factory, crossed the rails of a gantry crane, and made several steady vibration sounds in a row.
Fortunately, the shock absorption of the Rolls-Royce is very good, except for a little bump, you don't feel much tremor when sitting on the sofa.
With Ahn Hye Hoji's guidance, soon, the car stopped near a dock.
The dock, which is more than three hundred meters long, is very deep, and a destroyer painted with white paint is lonely and parked in the dock.
Nearly two hundred meters long, three stories high, surrounded by dark cannon barrels, revealing a faint luster.
10,000 tons of displacement, full load 8,000 tons.
A weapon to protect aircraft carriers, a steel weapon to strike fear into pirates at sea.
But now, as if it had been abandoned, it lay alone in the dockyard that no one cared about.
Taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it, Shen Jiannan looked at the destroyer in the dock, his eyes flashing with a faint color.
"This destroyer is almost finished, I have someone to see it, its structure, it is very suitable for reconstruction, if it is converted into a luxury cruise ship, it can be sold for at least 100 million dollars. β
Ahn Hye Koji said excitedly.
The Baltic Shipyard went bankrupt because of the lack of sales channels for military products, and with the end of the Cold War, such destroyers, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, were no longer useful.
The Russian military has no money to pay for the purchase of goods and sell them to other countries, and some countries with coastlines cannot afford to buy such things, and some that can afford to buy them, according to the agreement with the Russian side, cannot directly sell finished destroyers.
Conversion from military to civilian is the only way out for the Baltic Shipyard.
He had already planned that if the destroyer was rebuilt, the cost would be more than $10 million at most, and when it was converted into a luxury cruise ship, it would be sold for $200 million.
What is the concept?
The acquisition of the Baltic Shipyard cost Daiichi Industries only $500,000, and the cost of rebuilding it would make almost $190 million.
It's nothing short of profiteering.
In this regard, the second largest shareholder and the third largest shareholder, Kamandi and Geman, also agreed with An Huihaoer's proposal.
I made nearly 200 million US dollars when I changed hands, and I was waiting for the New Year if I didn't do it.
"Ahemβ"
Shen Jiannan was choked by An Hui Haoji's words.
Destroyer, especially take it to change the cruise ship, can you lose a little more, if you get it home, he is a superhero, if it is placed in ancient times, it is not a problem to take a Danshu iron coupon.
But it's hard for him to say anything about this kind of thing.
There are some things that can only be done but not thought, and it is inconvenient for An Hui Koji to know.
Capital has no borders, and it cannot have borders.
As a capitalist, this is especially important in front of people.
"An Huisang. That's a great suggestion, but I suggest keeping some of the ship's core weaponry. Think about it, when a cruise ship is sailing on the sea, it is inevitable that it will encounter some arrogant pirates, and if you have weapons to protect yourself, you can avoid many crises. Moreover, a cruise ship with weapons, this gimmick, can definitely bring other added value to the cruise ship. β
Ahn Hye Ho Er looked confused.
Is a cruise ship with weapons still a cruise ship?
"However, according to the contract, we cannot keep the core weapons of this ship. β
"It doesn't matter. I'll take care of that. β

PS: People live and have to eat, and the author has to eat too. All readers don't pay for reading books, so where does the author get the manuscript fee to eat? Not only is there no passion for the code, but there is no possibility of even coding words.
Readers and friends in the group know that the skin has not moved, has been suffering from a low-grade fever, is in a very poor state, the heart is convulsing and hurting every day, sleeping, sweating can wake up, and the body is completely collapsed.
But still, I guarantee updates every day, and I never break it, I just want to eat a bite of food.
But hitting the street is hitting the street after all, and the manuscript fee is bleak, not to mention taking medicine, I can't even afford to eat.
I implore unpaid book friends who like it, come and read to support the streets, two thousand words and a dime, and six cents for Gaohui, but this insignificant penny is the author's only source of income.
Ben Po Street is really going to be unbearable!
