It is almost certain that if this news is disseminated, even if it is only within the E range, it will be known to the Russian Federal Security Service, and Moscow will definitely send someone to check the matter at that time. Even I estimate that if China's naval power is strong at the expense of their power in the Far East and the Pacific, it is very likely that the damned old Maozi would rather these warships rot in the sea than sell them to China, although the price we will pay will be enough for these guys to be tempted. But the old Maozi are not a good thing, and they do not want China's naval power to be too strong to threaten their own interests in the Far East and the Pacific. Zhang Lan said.

Zhang Lan said while General Zhang Dingjun nodded frequently: Yes, this is indeed the case.

"If this little plan of ours is known to those guys in the Kremlin, in order to ensure that these "scrap iron" are not sold by Sironov and Ferodov, no one dares to say whether Moscow will take any drastic measures to stop this. For example: assassination," Zhang Lan asked, "then, since you are going to get these things, what measures do you plan to take, how do you plan to ensure the personal safety of Sironov and Ferodov?" Have you considered all of this? In my opinion, this is the factor that determines whether Sironov and Ferodov decide to sell the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet to China as a baby bump: the "Kirov" class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers and the "Glorious" class missile cruisers are the first place, and money can only be ranked second. Well, of course, if it's just frigates, destroyers and carrier-based helicopters, the risks are much smaller, that's another matter. ”

Zhang Dingjun, who finally came back to his senses a little, heard Zhang Lan's words, and sweated again: How much money did you give to Sironov and Fedorov? How and at what cost do these warships and carrier-based helicopters intend to be acquired? And what kind of price will Sironov and Fedorov be able to receive? How can you cook on your own side to ensure the safety of the lives and property of Sironov and Ferodov? Zhang Lan raised these questions, he really didn't think about it! If these problems are not solved, it is indeed impossible to bring back these baby bumps that Lao Maozi is looking after in the Far East and the Pacific region.

However, Zhang Dingjun thought very depressedly: How can he be regarded as a fifty-five-year-old person, why did he forget these most basic and critical questions when he was excited? As this kid said, if these problems are not solved, there is no way to talk about this matter!

I have long heard that the two children of the Zhang family are geniuses, but is there really such a big gap between geniuses and mortals? Zhang Dingjun, this guy, naturally forgot about the very immoral thing of digging the corner of Lao Maozi: what is moral and immoral, now I am thinking about how to dig this corner!

"Nacheng," Zhang Dingjun nodded, with an apologetic expression, "I will go to Beijing immediately to report this matter to the leaders in person, and explain the situation and relationship between them." As you said, you can handle your affairs according to your own plan until we solve the problem on our side. ”

"Let me explain one thing first," Zhang Lan said, "Uncle Zhang, you also know how big and wide the involvement is!" Let's put the villain first and then the gentleman, if this matter is not done in the end, then of course there is nothing to say. If this thing has become or succeeded partially, then how should we calculate the efforts and hard work of our Alice Group? You, as well as the leaders above you and the official leaders, must know very well in their hearts how much risk our Zhang family and Alice (China) Group have taken in this process! ”

"What are you going to do?" Hearing Zhang Lan say this, Zhang Lan looked confused: soldiers like to go straight, not to mention that the situation of the army has always been that the state gives them money to spend, and they are only responsible for spending money.

"The first point," Zhang Lan raised a finger, "this point is about you, in this, no matter whether the final thing is successful or not, of course the money spent in it will be paid by you!" Of course, if things don't work out, it certainly won't cost a lot of money. That's fine, right? ”

Nonsense! Since it is for us to do things, we are not paying for this money. Could it be that you can't make it!? Zhang Dingjun scolded in his heart and nodded, "I will truthfully report this to the superior leaders." ”

Nodding. Zhang Lan raised a second finger. "The second point. Hypothetical is a possibility. This possibility is if you do decide to buy these things in the end. But the funds are not enough. We, the Alice Group, have several directors. It can be done privately. Private loans to you. ”

looked at Zhang Dingjun's eyes with some suspicion. Zhang Lan pursed her lips disdainfully. "Don't doubt it. Guarantee the money

That's it! We offer you this private loan. Must be secret [Must sign a loan agreement with the government or your military.] As for the interest rate on the place of borrowing. You can refer to the bank's local loan interest rate for the same period; As for the place of repayment, the method and the term. Let's talk slowly. Of course. If you have a way to get the money yourself. I didn't say that. ”

said. Zhang Lan was still very bad, and sighed. "Alas. If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss. Who made me so patriotic. You can't be allowed to borrow money from foreign countries or at the expense of the speed of economic development, right? ”

Frankly. Hearing Zhang Lan's words. Zhang Dingjun also felt that Zhang Lan was very underwhelmed. He still has good perseverance. I couldn't resist the urge to let myself smash my fist on this kid's face.

Zhang Lan naturally has his own reasons for proposing this article, and now the country is vigorously developing the economy, in a word, it is called: good steel is used on the blade! All the state's fiscal revenues are mainly for economic development, and the military budget allocated to the military every year is numerous, and the military has already made plans for the expenditure of this amount of money, which is not very large. But suddenly such a large piece of fragrant cake appeared, this cake is so tempting, but the price of buying this cake is so high, for this big cake, suddenly come up with such a large amount of money in the already planned ranks, it disrupted his previous deployment, it is estimated that it is enough for the government and the military to have a headache. ,

Zhang Lan estimated that if they didn't mention this matter, if they really made up their minds to dig into the corners of Lao Maozi's wall, maybe the military and the official would really grit their teeth and squeeze out some from other places to use here. But as soon as I said this, I pointed out another way for the military and the official: on the premise of not delaying this year's military budget and financial budget, I can get these treasures in my hands, and they will not be known to foreign countries, so why not? As for the money borrowed, even if it is the cost of getting all the things mentioned in hand, it will be between $1 billion and $2 billion at most in dollars, or even less. Anyway, the country's fiscal deficit is quite large every year, and the annual repayment of the interest rate on national bonds is quite large, and the Alice Group will not ask itself to pay off this money in a year.

In this way, they can not only earn a sum of interest money by taking out loans, but also take this opportunity to deepen their relationship with the government and the military: they have done them such a great favor, will they not appreciate it? The most important point is that the military and the government, which have inherited such a big part of the Alice Group, will not take care of many things in the future development process of the Alice Group?

Zhang Dingjun naturally knew the benefits of Zhang Lan's point to the government and military: if you want to buy these things, you naturally need to pay the money in full at once, and Sironov and Ferodov will naturally not allow the Chinese government to make an installment payment for themselves or something like that. Then taking out so much money at once outside the originally arranged financial plan, whether it is the military spending that has already been allocated to the military or the government's special budget, it is enough for them to have a headache. Zhang Lan's borrowing plan means that at least the government's budget for this year does not need to be adjusted; At least this year, the military will not have to tighten its belts to get by, let alone squeeze money out of the mouths of officers and soldiers to buy these things. With the relationship between Alice Group and the government, I believe that Alice Group will not rush to ask for this money, and it is estimated that the biggest possibility is to pay it off between 5 and 10, so the extra financial pressure every year is nothing to China's finances, and it is good for everyone. Thinking of this, Zhang Dingjun nodded, "I will also solemnly report this to the superiors." ”

"Okay, after talking about the second point, now let's talk about the third point, which is what our Alice Group wants," Seeing Zhang Dingjun nodding, Zhang Lan said, "We have taken such a big risk to do this, naturally it is impossible not to ask for anything in return."

The return we ask for is: within three years, all taxes of all enterprises under our Alice (China) Group, whether local tax or national tax, and taxes and fees collected by all departments, will be halved! If you can't do this, then you can do it, according to the commission standard we agreed on earlier for the purchase of Krivac-class missile frigates. You can choose either of these two choices, and you can do both. Well, of course, if we can't handle those cruisers and destroyers, and can only get carrier-based aircraft and frigates, the tax reduction will not be the same, as long as it is in accordance with the commission standard for the purchase of Krivac-class missile frigates that we have just discussed. ”

"Can you get another one?" Hearing Zhang Lan say this, Zhang Dingjun suddenly had a bitter face, "These two choices don't seem to be very suitable." ”
