Chapter 109: Ukrainian Black Sea Shipyard

This also made the "Black Sea Shipyard", which could have received orders for aircraft carriers, not do much in this life. Only a few cargo ships, fishing boats, can be produced to make a living.

Five days later, the housekeeper Ivan brought back a very important news, that is, "Young master, we inquired about the news from the Ukrainian side, and heard that their largest shipyard, the Black Sea Shipyard, was so difficult that it couldn't even pay its wages some time ago. And lost a lot of talent. Now it is up to the state to make up for the losses in order to maintain operations, and if this situation continues, it is estimated that the shipyard will soon file for bankruptcy......"

Ma Wei stroked the little tiger's head lying on his lap while listening carefully to the housekeeper's words. He remembers that in his previous life, the Black Sea Shipyard, in 2018, filed for bankruptcy. I didn't expect that in this life, after missing orders from Asian countries, it would be so soon......

"How much will it cost to acquire this Black Sea shipyard in Ukraine, and has the team estimated the price?" asked Mavi to the butler.

In 2000, the relationship between Russia and Ukraine was still very good, and it can be said that they were like brothers. If Mawi wants to spend money to buy part of the shares of the Lower Black Sea Shipyard, I believe it should not be difficult. And the Ukrainian government, which really has no money, operates a shipyard. Rather than rot in your own hands, it is better to cooperate with him.

In this way, not only can it be sold at a good price, but also the subsequent turnaround is indispensable for Ukraine. It's just a one-and-done set.

Of course, as for the relationship between Ukraine and Russia later, it will depend on the subsequent development. I believe that in this life, with Ma Wei, a reborn person, he will not want to see two brothers who are like brothers and sisters turn against each other.

"Young master, the team's estimate of the Black Sea Shipyard is around 190 million US dollars. If you wait another year or two, when the shipyard files for bankruptcy and the court liquidates, the price should be cheaper. It's almost $150 million. The housekeeper said to Ma Wei very conscientiously.

But after hearing this, Ma Wei shook his head, "There are too many variables in two years, in case India, Malaysia and other countries order aircraft carriers or destroyers from the shipyard, then the Black Sea shipyard will be able to revive immediately." Don't lose such a good opportunity for $40 million. And in the end, Ukraine will not necessarily transfer all the shipyards. As long as they are willing to work with me, that's enough. ”

Ma Wei knows this very well. It is difficult for him to buy all of Ukraine's largest military-industrial shipyards like other companies. Only the cooperation between the two sides is the most reasonable.

And he didn't want to disrupt the layout of his navigation industry in order to save tens of millions of dollars. After all, the Indian Navy has made it clear that they will really order aircraft carriers in the future. If this order is given to Ukraine, then Mavi will have to wait for another 18 years. It's not fun......

However, when it comes to aircraft carriers, there is a lot of knowledge in them! There are two kinds of aircraft carriers, one is a modern-class conventionally powered aircraft carrier, and the other is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

The cost of a 60,000-ton hull of a modern conventionally powered aircraft carrier is generally $400 million, and the external price is about $3.6 billion. As for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the cost is at least 60% more expensive, or $640 million. The external price is at least $5.5 billion. This is still the price of 2000.

After building an aircraft carrier, the carrier-based aircraft on it must also be configured. The first domestic aircraft carrier, the Liaolu aircraft carrier, can carry 36 aircraft.

These include 4 Z-18J early warning helicopters, 6 Z-18F anti-submarine helicopters, 2 Z-9C search and rescue helicopters and 24 J-15 fighters.

These carrier-based aircraft, according to the same class of prices, are estimated to be at least $2 billion or more. So in total, just a conventionally powered aircraft carrier can be sold for more than $5.3 billion!

The profit in this is much more powerful than getting frigates and destroyers! Of course, the premise is that you can get an order for an aircraft carrier......

"Okay, young master, I know, I'll send someone to contact you!" Regarding his young master's decision, the housekeeper Ivan unconditionally supported it. After all, he watched Ma Wei all the way and successfully came over. Whether it's the Internet, movies, games, or even the current military industry, Ma Wei has hardly made any mistakes.

"Hmm. Ma Wei said, reaching out and picking up Winnie, the polar bear lying at his feet, from the floor with great difficulty. After more than six months of growth, Winnie the Pooh has become very heavy. But he still hasn't taken off his milk, and he sticks to Ma Wei all day long to hug him......

……

Three days later, Mavi took off from Moscow Airport in his Gulfstream G200 and went straight to Boryspil Airport in Kyiv, Ukraine.

At present, he has successfully accumulated bank deposits to $590 million through the "Counter-Strike" game and 6 frigate orders!

With this huge amount of money, Mavi considered a small treat to himself as an encouragement after the acquisition of the Black Sea Shipyard. For example, the G200 business jet, which has been sitting for a long time, has been replaced. Get an A380 Airbus and a Bombardier Global Express (that's what Bill Gates bought).

The A380 is used on important occasions, such as with the UAE in the future, to negotiate a nuclear warhead deal. For example, talk to Malaysia about nuclear-powered submarines...... As for the Bombardier Global Express, it's good to keep a low profile and fly off in normal times.

While buying a plane, it is natural to go to see the goddess I haven't seen for many days, Jennifer. With the current relationship between the two, it's time to take it a step further......

Life must be full of joy. I have to say that Ma Wei is really a little floating now. But he still has the necessary calmness, otherwise a random wrong decision can make him irreversible......

When the plane landed successfully at the Ukrainian airport, Mavi took a convoy to visit and visit the Black Sea shipyard.

The Black Sea Shipyard, covering an area of 2 million square meters, was the only aircraft carrier construction and assembly plant in Soviet times. It has produced aircraft carriers including "Moscow", "Leningrad", "Kiev", "Minsk", "Kuznetsov" and others. It can be said that it is the largest and most awesome military shipyard in Europe.

Ma Wei sat in his battle shield bulletproof car, looking at the silhouette of the shipyard in the distance. Compared with the Beihai shipyard he bought at the beginning, the shipyard in front of him is five times larger! It is conceivable that if there were no orders, this would burn more money every day. Even if the Ukrainian government intends to support it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reverse its decline.

When Mavi's motorcade drove all the way to the gate of the Black Sea Shipyard, he saw that the Ukrainian government officials and Ukrainian naval generals who had already learned the news took the initiative to come out to greet Mavi's arrival.
