Chapter 221: Purchase of Warships

Johnson showed a confused expression, and his heart had not yet reacted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"If I can, I'm willing to buy it in my private name!" Wang Zifan repeated again, since he arrived in Hong Kong, he has been thinking about how to make money, relying on those memories in his mind to become a billionaire, and now it's time to enjoy life, otherwise who will spend so much money, he has a yacht, he has not played with a warship, and he dares to provoke when he sails on the high seas.

Besides, there are other uses besides showing off.

Johnson hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Dear Wang, you must know that this is a naval warship, not a yacht!"

Wang Zifan listened quietly, expressing his attitude with silence, as early as a few months ago, he had the idea of engaging in cruises, on the one hand, in order to highlight his identity, go to sea to play, on the other hand, also to prepare for gambling on the high seas, He Chaoqiong She Laozi has a Lisboa Hotel to establish the status of the gambling king of Macau, every day waiting for countless gamblers to send money to the door, and also became a top celebrity in Hong Kong and Macao, and now he is engaged in three.

After weighing the pros and cons, Johnson does not want to take this responsibility, now Hong Kong is a sensitive moment, the two major powers are fiercely negotiating around sovereignty, Britain is retreating step by step, while China is not giving an inch, insisting on recovering all sovereignty, after the stalemate is over, it is either a fight, or a peaceful transfer, no matter which way, it is impossible to continue to occupy Hong Kong, sell the warship to a Hong Kong person, in case the Chinese side misunderstands that Britain has troops in Hong Kong, then the fun will be great.

Wang Zifan frowned: "Don't want to sell?"

Thinking of the consequences, Johnson pinched his sweat and explained: "According to the relevant regulations, warships cannot be sold to private individuals!"

"You're a pig brain!"

โ€œwhat๏ผŸโ€

"Nothing!"

Johnson shrugged his shoulders, his instincts telling him that it wasn't a good thing to say.

Seeing that the other party still didn't understand, Wang Zifan secretly shook his head and hinted: "You say that it's called a warship before it's called a warship, can't it be named?"

Johnson's eyes widened, and he quickly covered up the past, in addition to shock, he also admired, why didn't he think that warships could be converted into transport ships and cruise ships, there are too many uses, there is no need to hang himself from a tree, just if he does this, I don't know if those navy lords will have opinions.

Leaving some time for the other party to react, Wang Zifan seemed to remember something, and played with taste: "By the way, I plan to visit the mainland recently!"

Of course, Johnson will not be so stupid that Wang Zifan will drive a warship but the mainland, that is the old birthday star hanged to find death, he is concerned about Wang Zifan's identity as a military commentator, the Falklands naval battle is an example, if war breaks out between China and Britain again, and Wang Zifan is on the mainland side, it will be a disaster for the British Navy, and sometimes an idea can change a war.

"I don't think it's necessary at this time!"

The prince smiled and said, "The matter of the warship!"

Johnson said without hesitation: "Negotiable!"

Count you as acquaintances!

Wang Zifan nodded with satisfaction, visiting the mainland was just an excuse he came up with on a whim, and as for whether he would go after buying a warship, Johnson couldn't stop it.

Johnson, who felt that he had fallen into the pit, showed a dejected expression, Wang Zifan was cunning here, knowing that it was a pit, he had to jump down, but this person couldn't come hard, so he took out a few photos from his bag cleanly, changed his cooperative expression, and introduced: "This is the destroyer Elder with a cost of 120 million US dollars, and the damage is relatively serious!"

"I can't see what's there!" Wang Zifan looked at it again and again, and felt that it looked very much like a model, the hull of the ship was destroyed by cannon fire, the main guns were still there, and there were several secondary guns that were mighty.

Johnson said, "I can take you to the docks to see what is going on, maybe you'll change your mind!"

Wang Zifan nodded, he definitely wanted to go to the scene, he couldn't buy the warship just based on a few photos, after reading it, he said casually: "How much do you plan to sell this warship?"

Johnson said: "The price given by the experts is 55 million dollars!"

Want to knock on Lao Tzu's bamboo bar?

When did Britain use US dollars, and it was still 55 million, Wang Zifan frowned, did not say anything, and said lightly: "It's expensive!"

Johnson spread his hands out and said there was no way.

Wang Zifan looked at Philip, who was surrounded by various celebrities and ladies in the depths of the banquet, and smiled slightly: "If you can't call the shots, I can talk to someone else!"

Johnson vomited blood in frustration, what a troublesome character! I couldn't help but complain about Philip Royal, why did he put him in charge of this line!

"Okay, the price is negotiable!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're an MI6 agent!"

"Yes!"

"But as we all know, MI6 has always been in charge of foreign intelligence!"

"This is looking for foreign buyers, no fuss!"

The prince thought for a moment, remembered the sour tone of the captain just mentioned, confirmed what he thought, and quietly gestured to the photo in his hand and said, "There are a total of five warships here!"

"Yes!" Johnson was highly focused, reminding himself not to be fooled again.

Wang Zifan said abruptly: "How much do you think it's worth?"

Here it comes!

Johnson pretended to hesitate and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't quite understand what you mean!"

Wang Zifan said: "There's no need to be so nervous, if we guess wrong, you are from a civilian background, and you are on your own!"

Johnson was silent, there are nobles in Britain and commoners, if he is born in an aristocratic family, he doesn't have to be an agent, but these words can only be said in his heart, or complain in front of his colleagues, and Wang Zifan has nothing to do with it!

Wang Zifan smiled: "Actually, what I mean is very simple, everyone has to make money in business, there is no reason to forget one of them, don't you say?"

It turned out that he was trying to pull me into the water!Johnson understood the meaning of this sentence and frowned.

"Do you have children?"

"No?"

"Where's the wife?"

"I'm not married!"

"Mom and Dad, right?"

"They're dead!"

"That's unfortunate!"

It's stubbornness!

Wang Zifan felt that Johnson was deliberate, and said without a solution: "You always have comrades-in-arms!"

"Yes a lot!" This time Johnson did not deny that as an agent, far from being as beautiful as 007 in the movie, the mission represents death, and he has lost several partners.

Wang Zifan was relieved and finally found a weakness.

"Do they have relatives?"

"Of course!"

"Do you think they're doing well?"

"They have a pension!"

"Do you think the pension is enough?"

Johnson's eyes flashed blankly, and he said firmly: "Mr. Wang, I understand what you mean, but I can't agree to things that are harmful to the interests of the country!"

"Haha, I haven't heard that selling a few scrapped warships at a low price is detrimental to the interests of the country? The ghost knows whose pocket this money ends up in!" Seeing that the other party's expression was wrong, the prince immediately stopped and said in a soothing tone: "Maybe you misunderstood what I meant, I just want to buy these warships at the lowest price!"

Seeing that the other party's eyebrows were loosened, Wang Zifan made persistent efforts and said: "I will contribute an extra amount of money so that those heroes who are loyal to the country can sleep with peace of mind!"

Johnson's expression immediately looked much better, suggesting, "These have nothing to do with me!"

"Of course!"

Johnson scoffed: "You are the most cunning businessman I have ever met!"

Wang Zifan said: "Sometimes cunning can be explained as cleverness! Now you can tell me, how much is the specific offer?"

Johnson was speechless, too thick-skinned, and got to the point: "There is no offer, the Admiralty masters don't pay attention to it at all, but modify them, maybe they will have an opinion!"

Wang Zifan thought for a while and said, "Can it be pulled to another port or country for refitting?"

Johnson praised: "This is a good way! France can, just a few hours, I will contact the shipyard, and you can solve the problem yourself!"

Wang Zifan nodded, he still had to modify it according to his own ideas.

"That's no problem, it's unbelievable, such a big deal can be negotiated in just a few minutes!" Johnson's expression was very relaxed, he had been following this task for several months, but he didn't expect it to be solved because of an unexpected prom.

Wang Zifan: "You should feel honored, I didn't spend more time on billions of business just now than this!"

Johnson was dumbfounded, he was still sad when he was pitted just now, the blow was too big, in his intelligence, Wang Zifan two years ago was still a refugee, fleeing from the mainland to Hong Kong, with nothing, at that time he was already a one-sided intelligence officer, the status of the two sides is very different, there is no comparison at all, and now the difference is also huge, but it is reversed, Wang Zifan has become a guest of the royal family, with a net worth of tens of billions, and he is still an intelligence officer, embarrassed and unwilling at the same time, why is he not as good as a refugee when he serves the country!

In addition to Diana, Wang Zifan did not have the slightest interest in the British ball, especially after seeing the luxury estate, he had the urge to go back and build a more luxurious one, and before the ball was over, he followed Johnson to the dock, perhaps this pier is more appropriate to call it a port, although there is no busy scene in Hong Kong port, but the warships in and out are more shocking.

At the security check, Johnson handed over the pass and led Wang Zifan into the dock.

The so-called dock is not a house, building a ship by the river, it is easy to be washed away by the water, so it has to send a boat and three households to guard, a year to recruit thousands of migrant workers, labor and money, the Song Dynasty has a supervisor called Zhang Pingsui, he ordered the migrant workers to dig a big pit on the shore, build a ship in it, after the ship is built, dig a mouth, lead the water into the pit, the boat floats, sail into the river, this big pit is called "dock"

From far and near, it was as if the warships in the dock had been amplified wirelessly.

"This is the Held!"

"It's huge!"

Looking at the huge destroyer in front of him, Wang Zifan was really shocked, in addition to the steel body, the length of more than 100 meters made him dumbfounded, his yacht was a 'little bit' in front of it, thinking of buying such a warship, Wang Zifan couldn't help but wonder if it would be sunk as a foreign enemy when he drove it back to Hong Kong.

Johnson said proudly: "Our British Empire has bigger and better destroyers than this, this is a obsolete product, even if it is intact, it will be decommissioned!"

As a military commentator, Wang Zifan naturally made up for the relevant knowledge, but he was limited to the common sense that a destroyer is a medium-sized surface ship that can be equipped with weapons such as anti-air, anti-sea, anti-submarine and anti-land attacks, and has a certain comprehensive combat capability.

Since its birth in the 90s of the 19th century, the destroyer has a history of about 120 years, and it is one of the important types of ships in the navy; judging by the size of the Elder, it should have a displacement of 8,000 tons, and it can be regarded as a big guy among all kinds of destroyers! If it were not for the fact that he had been hit by a missile, this kind of national weapon would not have fallen into his hands.

"It has a displacement of around 8,850 tonnes and can reach speeds of up to 30 knots," Johnson said.

Wang Zifan nodded, 1 knot is 1 nautical mile per hour, which is about 1.852 kilometers per hour when converted into kilometers, 30 knots is about 55 kilometers per hour, and the fastest freighter speed is only 28 knots.

Johnson sneered and said, "Because the power system has been hit hard, we can't reach the top speed at the moment!"

Wang Zifan said: "Can it be repaired?"

Johnson said: "I have to ask the opinion of the experts! But I suggest you don't show up for the time being! If you let the media expose it, it will definitely cause an uproar!"

Reasonable!

If Wang Zifan stops, he will exaggerate countless times when it reaches the media, and maybe some newspapers will ridicule him for rebelling against his warship returning to Hong Kong!

Johnson said: "I will transmit the specific data to you!"

Wang Zifan looked around, but he really couldn't see anything, and asked, "What about the others?"

Johnson said: "There are only two ships parked in this port, one is not seriously damaged and is currently on its last mission, and one is a retired frigate!"

Hearing that there was also a retired warship, Wang Zifan frowned and said, "What is the total price?"

Johnson's eyes dodged: "200 million to 300 million, I'm talking about pounds!"

Wang Zifan immediately shook his head and said, "It's too much!"

Even if it is 200 million pounds, it can be converted into 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Johnson said: "I suggest you don't buy so much, especially this Elder ship, which is worth 100 million!"

Wang Zifan didn't know why Johnson repented, but he was not in the mood to bargain again, and threatened: "What I want to know is the real price!"

Johnson suppressed his jealousy and sighed: "The frigate is sold for 50 million pounds alone, and the others can be discounted, for a total of 150 million pounds!"

Wang Zifan said: "Add up to 100 million pounds!"

Johnson retorted: "It can't be!"

Wang Zifan said: "I'm not bargaining with you!"

Johnson complained: "Oh my God, do you know what you're talking about, even if you sell scrap steel for more than that!"

Seeing the shipwrights coming in and out of the destroyer, Wang Zifan said lightly: "Stop here, maintenance is also an astronomical amount! Also, don't forget the conditions we have reached!"

Johnson's face changed, his desire concealed his shame, and he said nakedly: "I can still give you the lowest price, but I also want a copy!"

Wang Zifan said: "Very good! I don't have an opinion on giving it all to you!"

Johnson hesitated for a moment and reminded: "To be on the safe side, I suggest you buy it in batches, preferably in different company names and for different purposes!"

"Yes!" Wang Zifan felt that the first two suggestions were very good, and the last one was perfunctory, and it was his, and he had the final say on how to use it.
