Chapter 265: Reassurance
Zhang Yuanpei's words were full of admiration in the eyes of ** and Zhang Junzi when they looked at Fang Mingyuan.
A rich gold mine, discovered by the wealthy sī people, the vast majority of people will do everything possible to cover it up, and then secretly mine it, Fang Mingyuan actually reported it to the state, which is an out-and-out outlier in today's society where everything looks at "money".
"Xiao Zhao, you came to pay New Year's greetings to me with Friend Fang this time, but what trouble did Friend Fang encounter?" Zhang Yuanpei said bluntly, "I am not good at the old man of local affairs, if you are a scum in the army, you can rest assured, everything is with my old man, see who dares to bully you." Zhang Yuanpei, a veteran soldier who had already been awarded a major general in 1955 and had successively served as deputy commander of the North Sea Fleet, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, and deputy director of the General Logistics Department, had now withered most of the veterans during the founding of the People's Republic of China, and his influence in the military should not be underestimated.
Fang Mingyuan was overjoyed, but he couldn't help but sweat profusely, where did this old man go?
** A little embarrassed said: "Uncle, we are here this time, not to encounter any trouble, but to have good news to report to you in person"
"Good news?" Zhang Yuanpei looked at **, and glanced at Fang Mingyuan again, the intention is naturally self-evident, what does this affairs in the army have to do with Fang Mingyuan? Although Zhang Yuanpei admires Fang Mingyuan very much, he will not let it go unprincipledly. Fang Mingyuan is not a person in the army, and it is naturally not appropriate to say anything in front of him.
** smiled and said: "Uncle, today's good news, if there is no Mingyuan's help in the future, it will not be possible." ”
Zhang Yuanpei was even more strange and curious in his heart, it was true that Fang Mingyuan was a business genius, but he could also help with this military affairs? However, although he was strange in his heart, he said nothing in his mouth.
"Uncle, the acquisition of the Varyag aircraft carrier has an eyebrow", the words of ** immediately made Zhang Yuanpei feel a big change, he grabbed the hand of **, and asked urgently: "Is this true?" ”
"It's really true, I lie to anyone, and I don't dare to lie to you, uncle," ** said with a wry smile. The old man's hand strength is already great, and in this urgency, the strength in his hand is even more unbeatable, ** I feel as if my hand is clamped by a vice.
"Great, great," Zhang Yuanpei jumped up from his chair and excitedly circled the hall several times.
"Dad, Dad, you can't move too much" Zhang Junzi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, a little worried.
"There is no such a big happy event, I am happy that there has not been such a big happy event for many years, and he has listened to some frustrating things" Zhang Yuanpei said with a smile, "Tonight, I must drink two cups of gentleman, this time, you are not allowed to stop me"
Zhang Junzi smiled bitterly: "Then you can drink two glasses, no more" Zhang Yuanpei is also an old man who is eighty years old after all, and he has experienced many wars, so it is inevitable that he will be injured everywhere, and in normal times, his family strictly controls his wine.
Zhang Yuanpei glared at his son and said, "Xiao Zhao is rare to come once, and he has brought such good news, how can two cups work, at least four cups"
Zhang Junzi said with a smile: "Dad, four cups is not good, even if I nod, Mom can't nod, even if Mom nods, Dr. Li will never agree" Dr. Li is Zhang Yuanpei's health care doctor.
"Then everyone take a step back, three cups" Zhang Yuanpei heard his son mention his wife and the doctor, and his head hurt, so he waved his hand.
Zhang Yuanpei sat back in his chair, still with a heartfelt smile on his face. As an important commander of the Huaxia Navy, and having experienced the Sino-Vietnamese naval battle that year, Zhang Yuanpei knows the old background of the Huaxia Navy. Over the years, although he has retired from the position of leader, Zhang Yuanpei has always paid attention to the construction of the army. Now, it is really rare for the Navy to have such an opportunity, which makes this old man who has been through hardships for a long time can't help but suffer from gains and losses.
A heavy stone in his heart for so many days was suddenly lifted by the words of ** today, and Zhang Yuanpei couldn't help but feel a little happy.
"Xiao Zhao, tell me, how do you plan to deal with this matter? Ukraine should sell it to us this time, and Russia should not make trouble in the middle, but it is not easy to go from the Black Sea to the South China Sea. Zhang Yuanpei asked bluntly.
"We've all thought about it, but we still need the cooperation of the central government," so he told Zhang Yuanpei about Fang Mingyuan's thoughts in detail.
Zhang Yuanpei couldn't help but be amazed, Fang Mingyuan's proposal obviously has a lot of possibilities, and if a Russian company comes forward to buy the shell of the Varyag aircraft carrier, then no one in the world can say anything, and in this way, from the Black Sea to the Pacific Ocean, there will be much less difficulties that may be suffered along the way. Although it is said that today's Russia is much inferior to the Soviet Union in terms of strength, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Americans can not niào Russia, but a small country like Turkey, if it embarrasses the Russian company, it will have to consider the consequences
"Mingyuan is willing to borrow interest-free for ten years, and he is responsible for all the expenses required for the whole process, and now he needs the help of the Central Committee and the Military Commission, which is the acquiescence of the Russian government."
In fact, to win the acquiescence of the Russian government, Fang Mingyuan is not completely without channels, after all, he sponsored Lao Ye a lot of money at the beginning, and so far, the Fang family has not made any requests in Russia. On the contrary, due to the intervention of the Fang family, many Russian enterprises have been reborn from the ashes, not only reducing a large number of unemployed people in Russia and stabilizing society, but also paying a lot of taxes to the Russian government.
But Fang Mingyuan also understands that everyone is still bored with money in this matter, if he brings it up himself, maybe another leader will look at the Fang family unpleasantly
Zhang Yuanpei couldn't help but be moved, he had also asked someone to calculate all the costs of the Varyag aircraft carrier from purchase to transportation back to China, and there was no possibility of less than 50 million US dollars. 50 million US dollars, which is a huge amount of money in Huaxia, such a huge amount of money, borrowed to the military for ten years without interest, Fang Mingyuan's loss is quite amazing.
"Xiao Fang, is he telling the truth?" Zhang Yuanpei's gaze turned to Fang Mingyuan, who had been silent beside him.
"Grandpa Zhang, it's true" Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "Once it starts operating, our family will be ready to pay 100 million US dollars to the account designated by the military, and when the Varyag aircraft carrier officially returns to China, the military can choose to repay a part of the loan every year, or it can be paid off once after ten years." "In fact, although more than 100 million US dollars, it is nothing to the Fang family today. The reason why Fang Mingyuan chose to borrow instead of donate was also to consider that this could avoid some leaders as much as possible from thinking that the Fang family intended to win over people in the army, in that case, the gains would outweigh the losses
"Ten years is too long, so the Fang family's loss will inevitably be too great," Zhang Yuanpei muttered.
Although he thought he was muttering, because his voice had always been loud, in fact, Zhang Junzi and ** in front of him could hear it clearly.
** Glanced at Fang Mingyuan behind him with some embarrassment, in fact, he also felt that the Fang family had paid too much at that time, but the military's funds were too tight now, not only did the treatment of the soldiers need to be improved, but a large number of equipment also needed to be upgraded, ** I couldn't be sure when I would be able to repay the huge sum of money from the Fang family. Therefore, Fang Mingyuan proposed to return Jihua in ten years, and he nodded and agreed.
"Grandpa Zhang, in fact, if you say something that shouldn't be said, China is very sensitive in some things. Our family just wants to do business in peace, and we are also willing to contribute to the strength of the motherland. The motherland is strong, and those of us who have a waist board abroad will tǐng straighter and this money, to be honest, is not returned to my Fang family, and no one will say anything up and down our family. But ......" Fang Mingyuan spread his hands and said helplessly, "Our Fang family doesn't want to be thought of as having other plans."
What kind of person is Zhang Yuanpei, he participated in ** at the age of seventeen, and after several purges, he has survived to the old man in the party and the army now, although Fang Mingyuan is vague, but he understands it as soon as he hears it.
The Fang family is afraid that some people are afraid that in the country, the intimate relationship between officials and important people in the military is generally taboo, and behind the Fang family, there is the Su family, the Chai family, the Lu family, and the Mei family headed by Su Huandong, in the past few years, the Fang family has made a series of economic achievements, which has aroused the jealousy of many people, I don't know how many people are waiting for the Fang family to make mistakes, which can not only hit Su Huandong's rising momentum, but also carve up the interests of the Fang family. Therefore, Fang Mingyuan had to adopt the situation of interest-free borrowing.
Zhang Yuanpei glanced at ** and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Zhao, you brought Xiao Fang here today, do you also have concerns about this?" ”
** nodded and said: "Uncle, I brought Mingyuan here, on the one hand, I want to report the good news to Uncle in person, if Uncle thinks there is anything else, we don't think about it, so let's discuss it together." On the other hand, I am indeed worried that this plan may cause dissatisfaction among some people, and they will not stumble on this matter, but it may be difficult for me and Mingyuan Commander Lou and Deputy Commander Xiao also mean the same thing."
On the one hand, it is to obtain a sharp weapon to deter Southeast Asian countries and protect the South China Sea, and on the other hand, it is also related to its own position in the military in the future
"I understand," Zhang Yuanpei waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this." I'm old, but this old face is still a little useful."
