Chapter 376: Canada Super Order Tender

The Bank of the Russian Federation, a state-owned bank in which Mavi invested at the beginning of last year, is headquartered in Moscow. Founded in 1841, it has offices in 17 countries. It manages 11 regional banks, 56 regional branches and 9,867 branches in Russia.

He is also very particular about the timing of his investment in shares. That was the year before last, when the Russian president had talked to him about the financial oligarchs who had reached out to politics.

Then, in one year, all of Russia's top 10 most powerful financial oligarchs were wiped out (all of them made their fortunes by embezzling privatization in an attempt to influence politics with money).

So Ma Wei's bank shares are owned by the previous financial oligarchs. It's just that it is the Russian government that is responsible for the transaction......

Looking at the two suitcases in front of me, the staff of the caring charity, I really realized that everything was real. Originally, they were still in Mawei, but the moment they turned to leave, they thought they had met boring people and deliberately made fun of them.

Now it seems that everything is my own worry.

"Eh, isn't that right? That gentleman just now, isn't his name Walker? How did he become Mr. Mavey? And the name Mavey sounds so familiar! Could it be ...... Mr. Ma Wei from the Ma V Group, right?" asked a female staff member of the agency, suddenly remembering something.

"That's right, he is the chairman of the Ma V Group, Mr. Ma Wei. Please sign it here. "Because someone is low-key, introverted. So many people don't know what he looks like. In this way, he can fully experience the life of the invisible rich. It seems to be plain and ordinary, but the things you do casually can make people fall off their eyes and be unforgettable forever......

Regarding the donation, Ma Wei will not donate all the money at once. This is very unsafe. Because even the founder of the foundation was unmoved in the face of this huge amount of $80 million. still sticks to the original intention and does charity.

But the group of people under his command is not guaranteed. If someone has bad ideas, embezzles public funds, or even absconds with money, it is very disgusting. So for the sake of insurance, Mavi asked the Bank of the Russian Federation to deduct $800,000 from his account every month to the Love Warm Heart Foundation. This is good for everyone and society.

Even if there is a problem, it will lose up to $800,000, and it will not become more......

Today's donation is just the first step for someone to officially step into the charity industry. In the future, it is possible to set up your own foundation, participate in charity auctions, and charity evenings. After all, big people must be full of positive energy.

When Mavi drove a small broken car back to his mansion in the center of Moscow. Ivan, the butler, happily told him a piece of news from Canada.

"Young master, the latest news! The Canadian Ministry of Defense has announced an international bidding project. They are the Royal Canadian Navy, with a purchase demand for 15 to 20 large frigates of 8000 tons. In addition to this, conventionally powered submarines, patrol boats, destroyers are in demand for a certain number of purchases. It is estimated that the entire project will be worth at least $18 billion. Ivan, the housekeeper, hurriedly ran over and said to Ma Wei.

This international tender for the Royal Canadian Navy can be said to be very attractive. The amount of 18 billion US dollars is believed that no military power in the world is willing to miss it. Maritime powers such as the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands must be gearing up and want to compete.

"Royal Canadian Navy? Okay, I see. After hearing this, Ma Wei replied calmly.

If memory serves, in 2011, Canada had international tenders ranging from $500 to $60 billion. In the end, these orders all went into the pockets of European countries. For example, France, England, Italy, Germany.

Compared with other countries' cost-saving schemes, Canada's Ministry of Defense prefers to buy warships from Europeans. It doesn't matter if it's expensive. There are two important reasons for this, one is to have good relations with the EU, and the other is that there are a large number of reverse orders in the contract.

For example, the steel needed to build warships must be bought from Canada. Canada is a highly developed capitalist country that benefits from its abundant natural resources.

There are more than 60 kinds of minerals, mainly (world ranking): potassium (4.4 billion tons, first), uranium (439,000 tons, second), tungsten (260,000 tons, second), cadmium (550,000 tons, third), nickel (4.9 million tons, fourth), lead (2 million tons, fifth), etc.

"I think it's okay to participate in this batch of orders from the Royal Canadian Navy, and there is no need to have too much hope. Based on the memories of the previous life, Ma Wei did not look forward to this super large order. To put it bluntly, this is the PY transaction between Canadians and European countries.

Even if the plan given by Russia is more preferential and cost-effective, I'm afraid Canadians will not consider it.

Despite the fact that Canada is very rich and sits on two oceans, it is the second largest country in the world by land area and has the longest coastline.

But its Royal Navy is very weak. In terms of overall combat effectiveness, it ranks about 20th in the world, on par with some non-industrialized countries. There are only 12 frigates as the main battleship, as well as 4 submarines, 6 auxiliary ships, 3 destroyers. There are no aircraft carriers.

In the fifties of the last century, it used to have aircraft carrier battle groups. But then it was decided that it was not necessary to burn this money, so the aircraft carrier was decommissioned. In 2000, the Ministry of National Defense also deliberately discussed the need to build aircraft carriers, but the whole country unanimously opposed it.

"Young Master, is there anything wrong with this batch of bidding projects?" asked the butler Ivan cautiously to Ma Wei. From someone's expression and rhetoric, I can feel that he is not very interested in this project, and he is not as serious as the previous few strokes.

"It can't be said that there is a problem, unless there is some unexpected reversal, or we will focus on participation and go through a process. Ma Wei said calmly.

Canada is a strange country, in stark contrast to Saudi Arabia. Again, they are very rich countries, but Saudi Arabia likes to buy the most advanced and expensive arms. Canadians, on the other hand, like to be cheeky and go around shopping for second-hand goods.

Scooped up 4 second-hand Supporter-class submarines from the British, that is, the kind that is about to be decommissioned. The Iroquois-class guided missile destroyers, built in the 70s, can last for 40 years and will not be decommissioned. Such an old-fashioned warship, which is generally in service for 30 years in a small country, should be replaced.
