From Du Guowei, Gu Kun learned about some of the pitfalls encountered in Huaxia's procurement last year.

For example, a certain Dragon polar research ship was already unsalable in Hekland at that time - that ship was originally used as an Arctic icebreaker in the former Soviet era.

And after the disintegration, Hekland can't fight with the Arctic, and among the more than a dozen member countries of the former Soviet Union, only Lucia borders the North Pole, so why does Hekland want to break the ice and research ships?

Therefore, if you can do a little more absolutely, it is not completely impossible to buy those goods according to scrap iron, as long as you do enough work for the specific handler.

However, there was a big hole at that time, that is, the design of the Soviet icebreaker itself could not meet the needs of other countries, and you had to ask the manufacturer to modify and add a lot of equipment.

Shipbuilding things, once it comes to refitting, it means that the ship you buyer wants very much, and it can't be disposed of into a half-sold half-given scrap iron price.

The former CEOs of state-owned shipyards also need a little fig leaf. Even if in order to make low profits and make losses, let the national shareholders sell their shares as soon as possible, they cannot be completely shameless.

And Gu Kun bought a scientific research ship, and there were also many modification needs. If you also go through a business-like refit contract, the price of the ship itself will definitely not be able to be suppressed.

But this pit, he managed to avoid this time.

Under the offensive of his vodka friendship, all-inclusive consumption, and additional promises of benefits, Cheryshev and others quickly surrendered and had a showdown with him in the most thorough way of cooperation:

The factory rendered this ship really spicy chicken, no one wanted it, and it was a freak waste that the demand and supply did not match left by the former Soviet plan, so it could only be sold and half sent according to the scrap ship.

As for the modifications that Gu Kun needed, Cheryshev would still handle them, and even the workers and engineers were still the small group of people who worked in the original team.

However, when those people worked, they did not use the brand of the Kherson shipyard.

They are "one set of people, two sets of teams", one for the public and one for the private.

The outfitting berths and construction equipment that need to be used in the work of this private team are also from the Kherson Shipyard, but, strictly speaking, the private contracting team is "rented" from the Kherson Shipyard, and it is good to give some rent according to the official guide price.

The specific negotiation language and dialogue are too shameless and dirty to be directly described.

Anyway, Gu Kun doesn't have any psychological burden. He is not picking up the wool of China, nor is he picking the wool of social attention.

He is the wool that the Black Crane Capital pays attention to, and if he doesn't buy it, he will also cheapen those oligarchs, which is justified. Yuriolov can do it, why can't he do it?

……

Two days later, at the end of the final round of negotiations, Du Guowei gave Gu Kun a satisfactory answer:

"Boss, it's done, the details and technical requirements that need to be modified, I have made it clear to them in a contract with the private company. The final purchase price of this boat is composed as follows:

First of all, the whole ship was sold to us at a price of $1.7 million, at the price of processed products - last year, the quality of our design institute was worse than it, the equipment was not complete, and the power system was even worse, and it was also sold for the whole ship at $3.8 million at that time. Therefore, we are now buying this semi-finished product with 90% completion, and it only costs us 45% of the price we bought for the final finished product last year!

However, we have to give the manager Cheryshev's private tuning company, $700,000 for the tuning, and $300,000 for the ...... If you think this is okay, let's make sure. ”

Gu Kun looked at the details of the negotiation memorandum, and was already very satisfied with the price cut to this extent.

He had previously assessed that the salvage boat he wanted to buy this time was better and more professional than the one of the Jiaotong University Design Institute in all aspects, so if he followed the public cooperation model like last year, it would cost at least $4.5 million to win.

Now one or two have been added to the five, and the two sets of public and private cooperation have been formed, and one-third of it has been directly cut for him! From the psychological price of 4.5 million yuan to 3 million! 2 million for the public and 1 million for the private!

As for why in the end it was actually 1.7 million plus 1 million, instead of 2 million plus 1 million - the difference of 300,000 yuan was caused by Gu Kun's vodka in the past few days.

For almost a week, he drank no less than 20 liters of vodka. Every day after drinking, I have to go to the Black Sea to vent my winter swim late at night, and I swim several kilometers every day, from the end of October to the beginning of November.

He did this not only for hundreds of thousands of dollars in discounts, but also to get acquainted with the relationships in this circle.

Because he found that the Black Clans did prefer to make friends with booze.

"If it's okay, we can get on the ship today, and finally confirm the condition of the ship, do you want to inspect it yourself?" Du Guowei saw that Gu Kun had already made a decision, so he suggested that he go to inspect the goods.

"Let's go, let's take a look. Gu Kun was in a good mood, so he took his bodyguards to the shipyard.

These days, he is in the hotel to negotiate around, he himself has not been to the shipyard to inspect the goods with his own eyes, only Du Guowei has been to the scene to see the ship before.

Gao Jianxiong kicked the accelerator, and the road of more than ten kilometers was soon reached.

The reception staff of the Kherson shipyard led the big financiers onto the ship and gave detailed information on the technical parameters.

"Boss, do you want to name our new ship?" Du Guowei asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course, just call ...... Nightingale. Gu Kun casually took a name.

In front of him was an outfitting berth with a length of 137 meters, a width of 20.5 meters, a depth of 12 meters, and a draft of 7.5 meters.

The maximum full load displacement is 13,200 tons, and the standard displacement is 9,400 tons. (Empty weight 7200 tons, maximum load 6200 tons)

In terms of size and weight alone, it is a quarter larger than the ship of the Design Institute of Jiaotong University.

Because the hull is more slender, the ship's power system adopts a cascading configuration of gas turbine and steam turbine, which strengthens the single-shaft power output, but reduces the number of propulsion shafts to two-shaft propulsion.

The output power of the gas/steam cascade on each shaft is roughly equivalent to the Oceania LM2500, and the power of a single shaft is 60,000 horsepower.

Therefore, such a 10,000-ton ship can actually drive to a maximum power of 120,000 horsepower and easily run a maximum speed of 34 knots!

At that time, as long as Gu Kun is quick and finds his opponent in advance, the Indonesians and Vietnamese will definitely not be able to catch up with him. With this kind of ship, he can go deep into the exclusive economic zones of other countries and work in the dark in a blatant manner.

In addition, many of the depth surveys and seabed salvage equipment on board are also very advanced, representing the highest level of heritage in the pre-USSR era. It's just that some of these things haven't been installed yet, and they need another month to customize the construction according to Gu Kun's needs.

The manager of Cheryshev also used his authority to install military precision radar and sonar on him, but these are difficult to say, anyway, if you have money.

The shipyards in Hekeland have been very chaotic in recent years, and there are more unsalable military products that no one wants, so is it still not allowed to be wasted?

Others want civilian products, but the civilian products are sold out, do you still have to put ready-made inventory, do not go to inventory, but specially create new ones for others?

It's not reasonable.

Therefore, military radar and military sonar can also be used for scientific investigation and exert residual heat droplets.
