Chapter 544: Diplomatic Storm (5)
Chapter 544: The Storm of Foreign 'Friendship' (5)
You must know that Yao Yike is a businessman, not sensitive to other things, but the most sensitive to doing business, the decommissioned warships, tanks and various aircraft in the United States are just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron in the hands of the Americans, but in Yao Yi's hands, that is the rolling source of money.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that this transport aircraft, Yao Yi is a commercial cargo aircraft with a slight modification, which can bring economic benefits, and after the aircraft carrier fleet is refitted, it can be resold several times the profit.
Of course, the decommissioned second-hand munitions of the United States must have dismantled the key parts, but Yao Yi has a military research and manufacturing center in Maling, and after nearly a year of development, especially with the help of smart mice, various material production factories have developed, and now they have the ability to initially transform.
Yao Yi thought for a while and said: "This is no problem, I will write a list now, and write down all the equipment I need, but how can I say this price!"
Mr. White smiled and said, "We can give it to you for free, but if you want to modify it, you can just modify it in our United States!"
Yao Yi said with a smile: "The modification matter will not trouble you in the United States, let me do it myself, we can proceed slowly, and contact while modifying!"
Mr. White smiled and said, "Do you have the ability to modify it yourself!"
Yao Yi said: "Experiment and modify at the same time, and one day it will be completed!"
Mr. White smiled and said, "If we don't come to refit it, it will be completed within two years, but if you modify it yourself, maybe it won't be able to form combat effectiveness in ten years!"
Yao Yi said with a smile: "We can complete the modification in two years!"
Mr. White looked at Yao Yi with a serious look, smiled secretly in his heart, and thought: "Do you think it's as simple as you Chinese burning porcelain, two years, give you twenty years, and you can't finish the modification!"
Thinking of this, White thought about it and said: "Well, let's make a bet, if in two years, you successfully complete the modification, all our second-hand equipment will be given to you completely free, if the modification is not completed, you will have to pay according to the price we make them, what do you think!"
Yao Yi thought to himself: "Hehe, I knew you underestimated me, okay, in that case, I'll make this bet for you!"
Yao Yi smiled and said, "You want to bet me again, hehe, don't forget, Mr. Wall lost the bet to me,"
Mr. White said with a smile: "Mr. Wall is Mr. Wall, besides, the bet on who wins or loses, it will be decided in ten years, it's still early, besides, Mr. Wall's matter, you only need to use your brains to get it, but refitting an aircraft carrier is not a joke, without a strong industrial force, this matter is almost impossible to complete, you can think about it, don't regret it then!"
Yao Yi said with a smile: "I never regret doing things, so it's decided, but let's say it's okay, only the aircraft carrier will be modified, and the others will not be refitted!"
Mr. White smiled and said, "Okay, that's it, you write the list, I'll go back and discuss it with the president, and I'll give you the news soon, and when the time comes, you can send someone to transport the goods!"
Yao Yi was happy in his heart and said, "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll write the list!"
Mr. White said with a smile: "Don't rush to write the list, just give it to me tomorrow, but the matter we negotiated just now should have signed an agreement first, and with this agreement, I can have a way to 'deliver' to the president!"
Yao Yi said: "Okay, I will let my 'private' lawyer take full responsibility for this matter, so that he can prepare an agreement with you!"
Mr. White quickly went to deal with the agreement with Lawyer Zhen, and Yao Yi began to take out the US aircraft carrier retirement form, and looked at it, so far, the following aircraft carriers have been decommissioned by the United States, Yao Yi can look at them.

Yao Yi aimed at these ten aircraft carriers, and these aircraft carriers were basically built and put into service during World War II, and they were retired in the sixties and seventies, just matching with Yao Yi's F4 fighters.
It is precisely because it is conventional power that the United States is willing to sell, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the United States to sell nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to Yao Yi.
However, it doesn't matter, because the Soviet Union gave Yao Yi a nuclear-powered cruiser, and it was a cruiser with a combination of conventional power and nuclear power, which just met Yao Yi's needs.
A list was quickly written, and Yao Yi put on a list of tens of thousands of second-hand equipment, the main of which were decommissioned transport aircraft, decommissioned warships and tanks and other equipment.
The next day, when Mr. White saw such a long list, he was stunned and said in surprise: "You are trying to empty our American arsenal!"
Yao Yi said with a smile: "It's a retired arsenal!"
Mr. White said, "Have you figured out how to transport it?" ”
