Chapter 651 Qualification Review
January 28, 1992.
Verkhovna Rada building of Ukraine.
At 7:50 a.m., it was still yesterday's conference hall, but there were significantly fewer people attending today's meeting than yesterday.
Of the delegations of the six governments, five disappeared, and the only one who rushed over was the three delegations.
In this way, the delegations of the other five countries are quite interesting, as for the third ......
Well, this tenacity is still worth affirming.
On the side of the three private delegations, all of them came.
Looking at Benita's indifferent look, I thought that I was here to join in the fun, but I was afraid that I knew very well that I couldn't have hope.
After all, the highest bid of the Spanish company Barenci is 70 million US dollars, which is a far cry from the bid of the Macau Tycoon gaming company of 95 million US dollars.
Five minutes before the meeting began, a group of people walked into the room.
There are some old faces, but not all of them are yesterday's original team, if you have the heart to observe, you can find that there are more than 20 people in this line, and they are clearly divided into three factions.
Ukrainian officials, headed by Yuri, are a faction.
And behind them were another group of Slavs.
Li Yadong saw a familiar face inside, Director Yakov, who was one of the three major directors of the Russian President's Office and Yeltsin's spokesman.
The two had a one-sided relationship at a high-class drinking party in Moscow, and they chatted happily.
Yakov easily noticed Li Yadong and nodded to him with a smile.
Li Yadong returned the smile.
Yakov and his party were followed by a mix of white Europeans and Latinos.
Hardly have to think about it, Yankee no doubt.
Therefore, this meeting is nominally a state affair of Ukraine, but in reality, the Ukrainian government has only one-third of the right to speak.
Li Yadong actually expected this for a long time, but the only thing he didn't expect was that these people actually did not shy away from coming to the stage.
If you want to say that Russia is okay, after all, it is the official successor of the Soviet Union, and the "Varyag" was made by the Soviet Union, and it seems reasonable for them to be involved.
But the Yankees ......
It can only be said that the tube is too wide.
The Ukrainian government doesn't know what to think, and I'm afraid it's still very proud at this time, because it has the help of the world hegemon the United States, and the support of Russia, the first heir of the big brother.
And these two countries are well-deserved military hegemons.
As everyone knows, this kind of behavior is completely luring the wolf into the house.
Although the current Ukrainian economy is sluggish, its strength is not weak at all, and there is no doubt that it is the third largest military power in the world, but why are they declining so quickly, and in just one or two decades, they have been reduced to a third-rate country?
In fact, they were harmed by the two eldest brothers they relied on at this time.
The US imperialists and Russia sang and harmonized, saying that why do you want so many weapons and equipment? There is no need at all, with our US imperialists protecting you in front and your senior brothers escorting you in the back, who would dare to bully you?
When the younger brother Ukraine heard it, it was indeed this truth, the current economic downturn, leaving a bunch of aircraft and artillery not only did not work, but also cost money on maintenance, which was a lot of money.
So what to do?
Demolition!
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine really dismantled a bunch of aircraft cannons, and the good planes and cannons were directly dismantled into scrap metal and then sold to recycling companies.
In terms of losers, it is estimated that there is hardly any country in the world that can be compared with Ukraine.
Even 1,300 nuclear warheads, they did not keep them, and after the US imperialists paid 150 million US dollars, they dismantled them all.
In the end, after settling the accounts, MMP's actually lost money, and the split fee cost 180 million US dollars......
The group walked up to the high platform, and sure enough, they were divided into three camps according to the faction, making it look like three sessions.
It was still Yuri who presided over the meeting, pulled the seated microphone to his mouth, and said loudly: "It seems that several delegations have abstained, so it's okay, let's make a quick decision, and the meeting officially begins."
"In yesterday's auction, Macau Monopoly won the auction with $95 million, followed by the Japanese Benz Seibu Group with $91 million, the Indian delegation with $76 million and the Spanish company Barlumbi with $70 million. In other words, the top four of the auction are all present today.
"In accordance with the process, each delegation will be given one minute to state what you are buying the Varyag for and why we are selling it to you. In the order of last order, we would like to give the floor to the representative of Barlumbi, Spain. ”
Yuri said, looking at Benita and making a gesture of please.
The audience's eyes suddenly fell on Benita.
"I'm sorry, Vice Speaker Yuri, we have nothing to say about Barrenby. ”
Benita also simply confirmed her intention to come over today to join in the fun.
Yuri nodded, not surprised, looked at the camp of the A-San delegation again, and said with a smile, "Then I will invite the representative of the Indian side to speak." ”
The leader of the A-3 delegation, a middle-aged man with slightly curly hair, stood up when he heard this, and said with great enthusiasm, "The passage for our Indian side to purchase the 'Varyag' is obvious, and if we are lucky enough to win the bid, your country's 'Varyag' will be completed by us, and it will serve in our powerful navy, sail on the vast sea area of our country, and continue its unfinished mission." As the only remaining delegation of one country in this bidding meeting, the 'Varyag' can only play its due value when it is in our hands, otherwise, it is a tyrannical thing to give to any other party!"
is worthy of being a spokesman at the official level, and the time is just right, and it takes exactly one minute to finish speaking.
After he sat down, he still looked a little proud, and in the face of the sycophants of the other people in the delegation, the whole person was "there".
That's why they dare to come over today, or why they haven't given up yet.
What if their bid was nearly $20 million away from the first place?
If the Ukrainian government wants to save face, it should sell the "Varyag" to them.
They are the government of the country, which allows the "Varyag" to show its due value and glory, without burying the reputation of the supremacy of the sea.
And this advantage, the other three forces do not have.
"Well, thank you for your statement. I would like to invite the representative of the Nippon Seibu Group. ”
Watanabe got up slowly and bowed slightly to the rostrum.
I have to say that Xiao Ri Ben is still doing quite well in the area of etiquette.
"Hello, distinguished leaders. We, the Seibu Group, purchased the Varyag with the intention of developing an aircraft carrier-themed amusement park with it as the core. And we can promise to keep the name of the 'Varyag' unchanged. In this way, it is not another continuation of the life of the Varyag, after all, it is a time of peace. In addition, this will also let our people know about the glory and history of your country, and may increase the enthusiasm of our people to travel to Ukraine, which will be of great benefit to your country in the long run. ”
I'm quite good at talking.
After hearing him say this, a group of Ukrainian officials nodded frequently, and a smile appeared on their faces.
That's not a good momentum. Li Yadong's heart sank.
"Well, thank you for your statement. Next, I would like to invite a representative of the Macau Monopoly gaming company. ”
Li Yadong fastened the buttons of his suit, stood up slowly, and bowed to the rostrum.
I am a dignified state of etiquette in the Celestial Empire, and I can't be left behind.
"Greetings to distinguished leaders. I am the person in charge of the bidding meeting of Macau Tycoon Gaming Company, Li Yadong. The intention of our Tycoon bookmaker to buy the Varyag was simple: to turn it into a luxury maritime gambling ship. Once completed, it will become the most dazzling pearl in the South China Sea, and those who are qualified to board this luxury gambling ship must be wealthy and wealthy. My plan is to use Ukrainian ships, coupled with another unique resource of Ukraine - Ukrainian beauties, to complement each other. In this way, to a certain extent, the employment problem of your country can be solved, of course, this is not the most important thing, the main thing is that I believe that with the beauty and wisdom of the Ukrainian girl, you will definitely be able to recruit a lot of sons-in-law for your country. ”
