"You're welcome, Mr. Leglov. My family's military factory is less than one-eighth of the area of your Beihai shipyard, and workers leave almost every month. ”

Speaking of the Russian military industry, it is really called a child without a mother, which is a long story. If you don't have strong funding, back it up. Even the top 10 oligarchs in Russia cannot afford to burn this huge expenditure.

"Eh, Mr. Ma Wei, you are too modest. We, the North Sea shipyard, you have seen it. Truth be told, if the situation continues to deteriorate and there are no orders, it is estimated that sooner or later the shipyard will file for bankruptcy. I'm afraid that its 110-year history will be ruined in the hands of my generation!" Leglov was quite frank, he also knew this kind of thing, and he couldn't hide it from his peers at all.

Although Leglov is the chairman of the board of directors of the North Sea Company. But he is different from those businessmen who make a fortune, he has his own bottom line and feelings. There is neither deception nor corruption. The only thing I want is to restore the glory of the Beihai Shipyard and restore the glory of this century-old factory......

"By the way, Mr. Ma Wei, I heard that the purpose of your visit this time is that you want to order two cargo ships? Will it be a bulk carrier or a container ship?" This is all forced by the environment.

Through some contact, Ma Wei felt that the other party was a real person. So he simply got straight to the point and said to the Russian uncle, "Mr. Leglov, in fact, I came here this time specifically for you, the Beihai Shipyard. ”

As soon as the loud words fell, I saw Leglov standing in front of him, and his expression was suddenly slightly stunned!

"For the sake of the North Sea Shipyard?" asked Leglov, somewhat puzzled.

Ma Wei smiled after hearing this, and then said lightly to Leglov, "42 million US dollars, this is my offer to the North Sea Shipyard." ”

Unlike previous acquisitions, this time Ma Wei, as the leader, directly quoted his own price. If you don't agree, that's the other party's business. Anyway, all of Russia, there are so many privatized shipyards in trouble. They're neither Google nor Amazon, so there's no reason why you have to buy them.

"This, Mr. Mavi, because it's so sudden, can you let me think about it?" Leglov did have the idea of transferring the shipyard, but when he really faced it, he was a little entangled. It takes time to think it through.

"Yes. Ma Wei nodded casually. Tomorrow, he will go to another shipyard, which is a little smaller and has an overall valuation of about $31 million.

……

Five days later, Ma Wei, who was lying on the hotel bed, received a call from Chairman Legolov, "Hey, hello, Mr. Ma Wei, I have thought about it for the past few days. I agree with your proposal. ”

Leglov has also been entangled for a long time, he also knows that he is not well funded, and he has no power to return to the sky, if the shipyard is in his own hands, it will really go bankrupt and go bankrupt. At that time, the hard work of his fathers and the 110-year history of the Beihai Shipyard will be destroyed in his hands.

"Well, let's find a time and arrange a meeting. "Mavi is very happy that Leglov was able to make such a decision.

"Yes, Mr. Mavi. ”

After talking to Leglov on the phone, Mavi called the butler Ivan over, "The family is in the Northern Defense Fleet, the Borodi Sea Fleet, is there anyone who can talk?"

After hearing this, the housekeeper thought for a moment, "There should be, young master, are you going to get in touch with them?"

"Well, it's better to arrange a meeting, I have something to talk to them about. Ma Wei said as he asked the maid Anfia to pour him red wine.

Today is a day to celebrate, his Russian military-industrial complex, has taken an important first step. Although, it cost him a lot of money, but this is also something that can't be helped. I can't bear the child's wolf.

The point is, this money burning has just begun!

The shipyard itself, in fact, is not worth a lot of money, at best it is nothing more than a large factory with technology. What is really valuable is the ships and warships it built!

Take the "Modern"-class destroyer as an example, a Type 956 destroyer is priced at $420 million, and the upgraded "Modern"-class destroyer 956EM is priced at $730 million!

Of course, these are just external selling prices. In fact, the cost of construction is not so expensive. A Type 956 destroyer, which cost about $51 million in 2000. The upgraded 956EM costs $87 million.

The profits of the arms business are very lucrative. It's a pity that in peacetime, not many countries will spend money on expensive destroyers. This annual maintenance fee alone is a large expense. To put it mildly, even the Russian Navy itself cannot afford to build and raise it.

"Okay, young master, I'll send someone to contact you. The butler was ordered to walk out of the hotel room. Now he unconditionally supports any decision made by Ma Wei.

The reason why Ma Wei wanted to send someone to contact the Northern Defense Fleet, the Borodi Sea Fleet, was because he had a good idea.

Four days later, a military jeep, carrying a young Russian, drove into the gate of a military district. The military area he entered was under the jurisdiction of the Russian Northern Defense Fleet.

The northern defense military area is heavily guarded, and the gate posts are inspected one after another. It took about 20 minutes to drive a section of the road before the military jeep carried the young man to the door of the reception room used for reception in the military region.

"Mr. Mavi, please wait here for a moment, Colonel Yevnigan, on his way. The Russian soldier in charge of the reception, dressed in a neat military uniform, said to the youth in the reception room.

"Hmm. The young man was Mavi, he nodded, and waited patiently for the Colonel to arrive.

Dealing with military bigwigs, it is naturally impossible for Ma Wei to take a group of bodyguards, drive all kinds of luxury cars, and swagger through the market. Including dressing, he also tries to be low-key and formal.

Five minutes later, there was a strong, short knock on the door.

"Tuk!"

Then the door opened, and a middle-aged man in the uniform of the Russian Navy entered the reception room with two three-star bars embroidered on his shoulder.

The man had the style of a soldier all over his body, his expression was serious, and his eyes were sharp, as if there was nothing in the world that could scare them.

"Hello, you are Ma Wei of the Mikoyan family, may I ask what is the matter with this visit?" the middle-aged man asked Ma Wei directly after shaking hands. There was no pleasantries, or any cutscenes.

As a soldier, Colonel Yevnigan didn't really like businessmen like Mavi. I feel that they always sharpen their heads and want to squeeze benefits from others. However, his superiors asked him to come over to meet Ma Wei, so there is this scene now.
