"So...... Speaker Yuri, can this cooperation be carried out?" Li Yadong asked with a smile, "The price is negotiable. ”

"To tell you the truth, Boss Li, you are not the only one who has taken a fancy to the 'Varyag' aircraft carrier. Yuri said with some embarrassment.

"Oh?" Li Yadong pretended not to know, and asked in surprise, "Who else?"

"Not anyone. Yuri waved his hand and said, "It's the governments of several countries." ”

Although Li Yadong is not very clear about the details of how Xu Zengping won the bid for the "Varyag" aircraft carrier, as long as he is not stupid, after a little analysis, he will know that there are some intriguing stories in this matter.

An individual businessman broke through from several national governments to win the bid, which seemed impossible, but it happened.

I'm afraid that some forces are obstructing it and don't want other countries to get aircraft carriers, right?

In this way, he has an advantage.

He still planned to learn from the same, and in order to speed up the process of this matter, he took the initiative to offer advice: "Speaker Yuri, that's not easy. ”

"Oh?" Yuri was surprised, "Could it be that Boss Li has any high opinions." ”

He was in charge of the matter, and to be honest, he was a little burned.

After all, it is a major event that has risen to the international level by several governments, and it is impossible for them to be unable to afford the price, so who should they sell to?

Ukraine has just become independent, and after losing the big brother of the Soviet Union, its international status is in jeopardy, and it is in urgent need of the support of various governments, and it is not wise to offend anyone at this time.

"Speaker Yuri, let me ask you a question first. ”

"You say. ”

"Isn't the 'Varyag' useless for Ukraine, it can even be said to be a burden, right?"

Yuri nodded subconsciously, and that was indeed the case.

Ukraine is located on the Black Sea coast, and the Black Sea is a strategic point for Eastern European countries, Russia's backyard, and they must guarantee the security of the Black Sea.

And Russia has inherited the mantle of Soviet legitimacy, it is strong, and it is completely enough to have them to defend the Black Sea, and there is no need for Ukraine to intervene at all, maybe they are not happy about it.

In that case, what is the use of Ukraine asking for aircraft carriers?

"That is to say, your country has already made up its mind to sell the Varyag, so it is very simple, just get a bidding meeting, and the one with the highest price will win. In this way, your country will not only be able to gain the maximum benefits, but will not be afraid of offending people. What do you think?"

"Yes!" Yuri's eyes lit up.

Holding a bidding meeting and public bidding can not only raise the price, but also the forces of all parties involved in the bidding, even if they lose the bid, can only blame themselves for not paying the price, and cannot blame them for anything.

After all, they acted fairly and justly.

"What a good idea!" Yuri was overjoyed, glanced at Li Yadong, and said with a smile, "Boss Li, you businessmen's brains are flexible. But ......"

"But what?" asked Li Yadong with the same smile.

"Boss Li, with all due respect, if you really bid publicly, your competitors will all be the national government, and your chances of winning are not great. Yuri's thoughts at the moment are that after all, he has received a generous gift from others, and he has to care about two sentences.

In fact, he didn't bother to care whether the guy in front of him would win the bid, he only cared about how to solve this matter smoothly, and now, he found a good way.

Li Yadong glanced at him and thought: Brother die, you have imagined this matter too simple, if this bidding meeting can be carried out fairly and justly, I will have your surname.

Of course, he would definitely not say these thoughts in his heart, and replied quite domineeringly: "Thank you Speaker Yuri for your concern, but this matter is not easy to say, my money is my own, at my disposal, but the country's money is different, if you want to use a large amount of money, it is inevitable that there will be no opposition within the country, after all, the countries that are eager to buy aircraft carriers now should still belong to developing countries, and the financial funds are not necessarily abundant." In addition, the state buys aircraft carriers, which burns money, and I sell them, which makes money. For the sake of Macau's gambling industry's annual market of more than 10 billion yuan, I may spend a lot of money to buy this aircraft carrier, far more than the actual value of this aircraft carrier, but the national government may not. ”

Yuri listened, don't say it, it really makes some sense.

In any case, the young man in front of him is an extremely intelligent and shrewd businessman, who has only been seen in his life.

"Boss Li, no matter what, I have to thank you for this matter, which can be regarded as solving a big problem for me. The opinion of the tender meeting is very good, and I will immediately report it to the council for discussion, and I believe that there will be no objections. If all goes well, it should be done soon. ”

Li Yadong nodded with a smile and quipped, "Speaker Yuri, if you can, I hope you can do a favor and speed up the implementation of this matter." Seeing the big cake of tens of billions of dollars a year in Macau, my heart is itching. ”

Ya actually collected all the money, so naturally he couldn't collect it in vain, so he had to make some contributions worthy of the money.

"That's nature. Yuri laughed and said: "Don't hide it from Boss Li, I am more anxious about this matter than you, firstly, the country's economy is sluggish and it is very short of money; If it can be solved tomorrow, I will never put it off until the day after tomorrow. ”

"Well, that's okay, Speaker Yuri, as soon as this matter is confirmed, please notify me immediately, I will definitely participate in the bidding. Li Yadong stood up with a smile.

"Yes, since it is a bidding meeting, as far as we are concerned, of course, we hope that the more people who participate in the bidding, the better. ”

……

Nikolav Black Sea Shipyard.

Li Yadong returned to Odessa, and the news came from the main Pete, saying that he had gained something and asked him to come and receive the "baby".

He came a day earlier than the appointed time, and when he had nothing to do, he ran to the Odessa Military District, fooled the old man Kravisky, and took him here for a walk.

I want to see the style of the "Varyag" - I have never seen an aircraft carrier in my two lives combined, and I can't wait to see it. Also, think about what you want to buy.

"It's all stopped, and it turns out that it's very lively, and tens of thousands of people work here. After the group entered the shipyard, Admiral Kravisky pointed and said.

It is a very large seaside base, not so much a shipyard as a wharf.

On the land on the shore, all kinds of huge machinery can be seen everywhere, and the workers should be very angry when they disperse, and many tools and materials are discarded at will, which looks very messy.

And on the sea, two behemoths were docked there, no matter how fierce the waves and how strong the sea breeze was, it was not enough to shake them in the slightest.

"Isn't it about to restart work soon?" Li Yadong said with a smile.

"Yes. Admiral Kravisky nodded: "Four 10,000-ton oil tankers are enough to build a year and a half, but they can solve the employment problem of many people." ”

As we got closer, the noise that could be faintly heard just now became more and more harsh, and when we walked next to the first behemoth, everyone found that its hull was no longer complete, the huge bow had been cut off, and the workers were either holding cutters or driving mechanical cars, trying to split the aircraft carrier into pieces, and a large number of special steel, hoisted down from the ship by cable car, piled up on the dock into a hill.

"Iniquity. Li Yadong sighed lightly.

Just as he was about to continue walking forward to check the complete "Varyag" in front of him, a group of people in straight suits suddenly walked on the opposite side.

And when he saw one of them clearly, Li Yadong was surprised: "Mr. Vantaa?"
