Looking at Chen Geng who got off the plane, Gong Jianjun excitedly took two steps to meet him: "Chen Dong......"

"What is the name of Chen Dong, the third brother," Chen Geng was very happy when he saw his brother, and slapped Gong Jianjun on the shoulder: "My own brother, why are you so polite?" ”

"Hmm!" Gong Jianjun nodded heavily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"How's that going for this time?" Chen Geng asked with concern, "Are you homesick?" Do you want to go back and see? ”

Gong Jianjun smiled honestly, nodded and said, "If you want to think about it, you must want to, how can you not want to?" But it doesn't matter, I can't do without this side of things, and I'll go back and have a look when I'm done with this busy time. ”

Chen Geng nodded: "That's it, you can do it in your own heart, anyway, you remember that the work can't be done, rest when it's time to rest, don't tire yourself down." ”

Gong Jianjun said gratefully: "I know." After a pause, Gong Jianjun said: "Third brother, the Nikolaev shipyard has begun to dismantle the aircraft carrier." ”

Speaking of dismantling the aircraft carrier, Gong Jianjun regretted and felt terrible heartache: "Such a big aircraft carrier, if you say dismantle, you will dismantle it...... It's not that I haven't seen a loser, but it's the first time I've seen such a loser, even if it's sold to our country. ”

Chen Geng shook his head: "If it was the Soviet Union, having two aircraft carriers was nothing, but since the Soviet Union was gone, with Ukraine, they still wanted to have two aircraft carriers?" Don't pee on themselves, do they deserve it?

Let's not talk about whether they can raise it or not, even if they do, do you think that once the Ukrainians have an aircraft carrier - let alone a 60,000-ton conventional power and an 80,000-ton nuclear power, even if it is an aircraft carrier the size of the British Invincible - do you think the Russians, the Americans, and the Europeans can rest assured?

These two aircraft carriers are aircraft carriers, they are simply two bombs that will explode at an uncertain time, and Ukraine has the intention of abandoning aircraft carriers, count them smart. ”

Gong Jianjun has never considered the problem from this angle, and now when he heard Chen Geng say this, he smacked it carefully, and had to admit that it was really like what Chen Geng said, if it was the Soviet Union, it would be fine, but if it was Ukraine, for them, having an aircraft carrier is to take death and know, just like the old saying is "guilty": "That's the reason, but that's the case, you can see that such a strategic-level weapon has been dismantled like this, and the feeling in my heart is really ...... Indescribable. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Chen Geng also sighed.

Don't look at him, he understands in his heart that for Ukraine, it is the best choice to dismantle the Ulyanovsk aircraft carrier, which has been completed by 40% and is in the process of closing the hull, but from the perspective of his personal feelings, he really feels extremely sorry: such a good thing, if you are not good, you can give it to me.

"Okay, let's not talk about this," waving his hand to clean up his mood, Chen Geng asked, "What is the current situation?" ”

Gong Jianjun knew the situation of the Nikolaev shipyard well, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "The dismantling of the Ulyanovsk has been basically completed, and the slipway can be vacated in another week at most, but I just got the news that the Norwegian shipping company has a vice president, and I don't know what to talk about with the Nikolaev shipyard." ”

That shipping company in Norway has a VP? Chen Geng smiled: "I know what the Norwegians want to talk about with the Nikolaev shipyard. ”

"You know?" Gong Jianjun's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "How do you know?" ”

Chen Geng smiled mysteriously: "Look, the show has just begun." ”

Looking at Chen Geng, Gong Jianjun looked dazed and puzzled: What does the third brother know that I don't know?

"What did you say, Mr. Coolbert?" Makarov's face changed instantly, and he said in a trembling voice: "You want to cancel the order?" ”

It's a bolt from the blue!

When the vice president of the Norwegian shipowner came, the Nikolaev shipyard was full of joy and thought that the other party had come to participate in the keel laying ceremony, but no one expected that the other party would tell the Nikolaev shipyard a bolt from the blue: they did not plan to build these ships again!

"Makarov Shipyard, I'm sorry," Kulbert shrugged and said with a nonchalant expression: "Due to the impact of the market environment, after careful analysis, the board of directors has decided to cancel the order for these six ships, and of course, we will pay liquidated damages to you in accordance with the provisions of the contract......"

Makarov Shipyard, who was stunned by this news, suddenly shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Coolbert, you can't cancel the order, you can't do this......"

"No, we can do this, it is stipulated in the contract we have signed," Kulbert was a little unhappy, and he unceremoniously interrupted Makarov, "We have the right to decide to add or cancel orders according to changes in the market environment, and if we want to cancel orders, we will pay compensation to the Nikolaev shipyard...... Now, we are ready to cancel the order, and we are also willing to pay compensation to you Nikolaev Shipyard, even if it is a lawsuit from any country in the world, we will definitely win. ”

Makarov then reacted that there was indeed such a clause in the contract, and when he saw this clause, Makarov felt that he could fully understand why the Norwegians added such a clause to the contract: If the market environment is better, the Norwegians will definitely have to increase the order, and at this time, won't the Nikolaev shipyard make a lot of money?

But I never thought that the damn Norwegian would use this article to cancel the contract!

Seeing that the Norwegians were resolute in canceling the order, Makarov was really anxious: "Mr. Coolbert, do you think the cost is too high?" I...... I...... I can lower the offer by another 2%...... No, no, no, we can reduce the price by another 3%......"

The profit of the shipbuilding industry is not very high, the Nikolaev shipyard will reduce the overall quotation by 3%, which means that their profit may be less than half of the original, Culbert listened to the heart, if it is normal business transactions, the shipyard can reduce the overall quotation by 3%, and the shipowner will make a big profit, but unfortunately, the reason for the cancellation of the order this time is not because of price factors, but political factors......

"It's not a matter of price," Kurbert spread his hands and said helplessly to Makarov: "Director Makarov, let me tell you the truth, our company's previous analysis of the world shipping market in the next 10 years has made a serious mistake, so we must reverse this mistake...... Listen to me,"

Making a gesture, Culbert motioned to plant director Makarov to listen to his words: "The question now is not how much a ship will cost, but how high the long-term operating costs are, and it is very likely to lose money, to tell you the truth, the board of directors has decided to reduce the fleet to 80 ships, do you know what this means?" ”

Cocking up a finger, Culbert said, "This means that we have sold at least 24 ships, and now you still think this is a problem that can be solved by reducing the price?" ”

"How so? How could this be...... "Makarov's whole person was stunned, he didn't expect that it would be such a situation: the other party would sell more than 20 more freighters? If this is the case, then it will be impossible for them to continue the shipbuilding order with the Nikolaev shipyard anyway, even if the Nikolaev shipyard reduces the offer to 50% of the original amount.

But what would the Nikolaev shipyard do without orders for these six ocean-going mega freighters? What do tens of thousands of workers at the Nikolaev shipyard live on?

Looking at the lost and gray Makarov, Culbert did not have a trace of guilt in his heart, on the contrary, he was very happy and excited about the success of the prank, looking at the lost Makarov, his mood was almost the same as a child eating stolen fruit: the stolen fruit was better than the fruit at home.

How strong was the Soviet Union? Haven't we been fooled into disintegration? You Soviet "remnants", don't even think of being pardoned!

Trying to control the excitement in his heart, Culbert stood up and said to Makarov: "Mr. Makarov, I'm sorry for this happened, but what I want to say is that no one can do anything about it, what we can do is to compensate you for your losses in accordance with the provisions of the contract...... By the way, didn't I hear that the Americans are ready to buy the steel plates that you dismantled? Maybe you can make up for it here. ”

Yes.

After being reminded by Coolbert, Makarov reacted, after the United States Newk Steel and the Nikolaev shipyard signed an agreement to buy the dismantled steel of the Ulyanovsk at a price of 450 US dollars per ton, although the Norwegians canceled the shipbuilding order, but the more than 30,000 tons of special steel for aircraft carriers can still be sold for more than 10 million US dollars, with this money, the Nikolaev shipyard can still hold out for a while, taking advantage of this time, the Nikolaev shipyard can go to the market to find new orders.

Thinking that the stomachs of the comrades would not be hungry for the next period of time, Makarov's mood was finally a little better, and he tried to hold up a little spirit and nodded to Kurbert: "It is indeed a pity that we could not cooperate this time, Mr. Kurbert, I hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

"Of course," Kurbert smiled a little strangely: "Although this happened this time, we have never doubted the strength of the Nikolaev shipyard, and I believe that we will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

The people from Newt Steel in the United States should be almost there, right? I really want to see how wonderful the faces of the Ukrainians are when they know that their steel can only be sold for $150 a ton instead of $450 a tonne.
