Chapter 67: North Sea Shipyard

Ma Wei looked at the two foodies in front of him, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. After the little tiger and the polar bear shared the bottle, the two little ones also became friends. And was taken home by Mavi.

As for the name of the baby tiger, Mavi decided to call her "Simba". But it seems to be the name of the Lion King. So in the end, she was named "Little Tigger". It's similar to "Winnie the Pooh".

On the way back to the villa, Ma Wei held the little Tigger in his left hand and Winnie the little polar bear in his right hand, sitting in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. This local tyrant's life is really nourishing.

"Master, Google, and V guest video, there was news just now. He said that there are some investors who want to invest in the company recently. So I'd like to ask you what you think over there. Ivan the butler turned back to Mavi and asked.

The best-selling of "Counter-Strike" is inseparable from the publicity and drainage of Google and Vke. As a result, some capitalists have noticed the importance of network effects and network propaganda. So if you want to share the cake, look for Mavi financing.

"What is the background of the investors? If the status is average, just refuse. Ma Wei replied casually while touching the little Tigger's furry head and ears.

Google and Vke Video, after all, are local companies in the United States. When they are fully grown, Mavi's Russian identity will affect the company to a greater or lesser extent.

Therefore, in the end, it is definitely necessary to find someone to join the stock and resolve the risk. It's just that this investor is not a cat or a dog who can invest with money. At least the other party must have a strong background and the ability to deal with the relevant departments.

In this way, Ma Wei can join forces with them, hold each other's shares in each other's groups, and closely bind the interests of both parties. In a professional parlance, it is a community of interests. This is the rules of the game in the rich man's world, and although Ma Wei is reborn, he has no system. Therefore, many things cannot be taken for granted.

"Okay, young master, I'll send someone to investigate. The butler said respectfully.

"Hmm. Mavi looked out the window and looked at the sunset. What he wants to know most now is how many shipyards are interested in buying and transferring. He can't wait to show his skills and make a career.

……

A week later, Mavi took a special plane to St. Petersburg, Russia. It is a mecca for Russian shipbuilders and is home to many historic shipyards. For example, Admiral Russian Shipyard, Baltic Shipyard, Leningrad Admiralty Shipyard, Zhdanov Shipyard, etc.

And Ma Wei is not going to these shipyards today. Rather, it is a shipyard called "North Sea Shipyard".

The St. Petersburg North Sea Shipyard, which is smaller than the Admiral Shipyard and the Baltic Shipyard, cannot build aircraft carriers. But it has the strength to build "nuclear-powered cruisers", "destroyers" and other large ships.

The shipyard is the cradle of the Navy. Ma Wei can use it to establish a good relationship with the navy. A strong military will always be the best means to deter small people.

"Young master, Leglov, the chairman of the North Sea Company, is waiting for you at the dockyard. Inside the Rolls-Royce car, the butler Ivan said to Mavey.

"Well, okay, I got it. Ma Wei looked at the silhouette of the shipyard in the distance and nodded slightly.

After privatization, the Beihai Shipyard was separated from the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and a separate Beihai Shipyard Joint Stock Company was established. Because of this, it has a chance to be traded.

Ma Wei looked at the silhouette of the shipyard in the distance, gradually zooming in. Compared with the modern military shipyard in his impression, the Beihai shipyard seems very lifeless. The rusty iron door has not been painted for a long time. The old man of the doorman was also weak, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.

When the convoy entered the factory, the huge Beihai Shipyard was almost impossible to see crowds of people. Tons and tons of steel, left haphazardly in the open space, corroded by the air for a long time, stained with a layer of rust.

Through the open door, Ma Wei saw that the machinery and equipment in the factory were rusty, and the machine tools were abandoned in the open courtyard, left to the wind and rain......

Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Navy was forced to stop production of a number of ships ordered by the North Sea Shipyard. As a result, the huge amount of money invested by the shipyard was all wasted, and the entire enterprise was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Coupled with the crisis of Russia's economic transformation, the North Sea Shipyard has not been able to receive large orders for a long time. Therefore, the economic status quo of the entire shipyard can be described as falling apart, and bankruptcy is only a matter of time.

The convoy continued to move forward for a while, coming to the largest dry dock at the North Sea Shipyard. The dock is of the 100,000-ton class. It has a total length of almost 370 meters, extending 140 meters to the land side and a width of 72 meters.

The majestic harbour cranes are crossed on both sides of the dock and are equipped with 100-ton hoisting trucks on the side, which are responsible for transporting heavy loads.

Ma Wei's Rolls-Royce luxury car and Tiger armored convoy are very small in front of this 100,000-ton dock, like a big little child.

When Ma Wei got out of the car, a middle-aged uncle in a suit and a fat figure, with his round belly and his Mediterranean head, led the shipyard workers and greeted him, "Mr. Ma Wei, hello, hello! Welcome to our Beihai Shipyard!"

This Russian uncle is the chairman of the board of directors of the North Sea Shipyard Joint Stock Company, Legelov. As for the group of workers standing behind him, they are the technical backbone who remain in the factory.

Leglov didn't know that Mavi came this time to talk about the acquisition. I only know that he came to take a look, and maybe he will place an order for two cargo ships. So gather the staff and receive Ma Wei.

"Hello, Mr. Legrove. Ma Wei stepped forward and shook his uncle's hand. Since both parties have backgrounds in the military industry, even if it is the first time they meet, they feel very familiar.

"Haha! Hello! I didn't expect Mr. Ma Wei to run the family business so well at a young age. What a talent!" Leglov didn't know about Mavi's investments. But he is not stupid, from the team accompanying Ma Wei, it can be seen that the financial strength is definitely not simple.

Unlike him, he ran the century-old shipyard to the end of the road. The original factory of more than 7,300 people now has less than 1,900 people left. Of the original more than 1,000 engineers and technicians, only 300 people remained. The more than 400,000 land use area of the shipyard was wasted in vain.

"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. ”
