Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russians have been poor, although they have a lot of technology, but they do not have the funds to maintain progress in balance with the times, so now the gap with the United States is getting farther and farther.

The Black Sea Shipyard was originally the largest shipyard in the entire Soviet Union during the Soviet period, comparable to the Newport News Shipyard in the United States, and one of the largest shipyards in the world, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Shipyard was assigned to Ukraine, but Ukraine has been economically sluggish, so it is impossible to maintain the operation of the shipyard.

After Ukraine broke away from the Soviet Union, it got a chicken rib, and wanted to introduce foreign capital injection, but it was restricted by Russia, and it was a pity to directly dismantle and sell it, so it became the current mess, except for the Russian Black Sea Fleet and shipyards every year, basically no big orders can be received, which is not enough to maintain the shipyard's huge Canglong proposed to control the Black Sea Shipyard The interests behind it are also very simple, using the influence of China and Russia to make a medium for the future shipyard behind it, At that time, even if a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is built, the Americans will have nothing to do, so the fundamental problem will be solved, and all that needs to be done is to share the cake with the two countries.

But Hamulet still decided to think about it, it is easy to discuss on the Russian side, after all, Russia has no money now, and it urgently needs aircraft carriers to maintain its status as an old power, if he pays for it, Russia will definitely not stop it, but will support it.

But China's side is the problem, although Canglong looks confident, but before getting the actual chips on the table, Hamullet will not spend blood.

However, he promised Canglong that he would go to the Black Sea shipyard to inspect and make a risk assessment report at that time, but this time he couldn't pay alone, but he had to pull Canglong to pay together.

Canglong did not object, after all, cooperation is cooperation, and there may be huge risks in the next cooperation, at least in the future, the use value of Hamullet is definitely not limited to a Dubai, and Hamulette also values the use value of Canglong, otherwise he would not have invested so much money to cooperate with him on so many projects.

The arms industry is not like an investment in China, although the benefits are huge, but it is also a huge risk, compared to Canglong's Dongning investment plan, Hamullet actually knows that it is just a lack of money, so it looks naïve, but if there is really money, as long as it is not a stupid person to operate, basically it will not lose money, and it is definitely profitable, or big.

Otherwise, Hamullet would never be so generous, although there is also a relationship between Mariam and Merlin, but it is only a relationship in passing, and it is not the main reason.

When Canglong and Hamulette came out of the cubicle, the two were no longer as cold as they were just now, everyone could see that the two of them seemed to have reached an agreement, Secretary Yu did not ask, she felt that this should be something negotiated internally between the two companies, this is not important to her, the important thing is that she got the investment contract, so that she has ninety percent confidence to persuade the Reform Office to change her mind.

Mariam, on the other hand, was crying, she felt that Canglong must have used herself and her brother to achieve some shady purpose, but she also did not speak.

After a few people finished eating, they were about to leave, but Canglong said to Mariam: "Stay and talk to your brother, I and Secretary Yu still have things to do, and I will come to pick you up after I finish it." ”

Hearing this, Mariam's face changed, and she looked at Canglong with a longing expression, as if to say, please don't leave me here, don't let me go back.

Even Secretary Yu saw something, but she couldn't speak, and finally Canglong spoke: "I promised you, if you don't want to go back, no one can take you away." ”

After receiving Canglong's answer, Mariam was relieved and finally agreed to stay, but Hamulet just shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and suddenly felt that he should treat Mariam in a different way.

Still in the taxi, but only Secretary Yu and Canglong, this time Canglong did not sit in the co-pilot, the taxi driver was not so talkative, both of them were silent along the way, after a long time, Secretary Yu broke the silence and asked: "Where are we going now?" ”

Canglong looked at his watch, it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, and he made an appointment with Commissioner Du that it was four o'clock, but he didn't tell Secretary Yu, just said, "You'll know when you arrive." ”

Regarding Canglong's pretense of mystery, Secretary Yu didn't think so, because she was holding the contract in her hand, even if it was for the sake of the contract, she couldn't ridicule him.

Taxi then took to Beijing's famous Tang Lang Restaurant, located in the South Gate Park of the Workers' Stadium, which serves Chinese cuisine and a casual bar with special specialties.

Its secluded elegance is one of the biggest reasons why many people come to visit, and the whole restaurant presents a sense of tranquility and elegance.

Inside the crystal glass wall, there are wisps of European style in the slightest Tang rhyme, and under the leadership of the waiter, Canglong and they went straight to a private room on the second floor, which is the place he has already set.

Seeing that no one had come for a long time, Secretary Yu asked, "Who are we waiting for?" Also, how do you know this place so well, haven't you always lived in France? ”

"This is a place recommended by the person we are waiting for." Canglong smiled and said, "How about it, the environment is good." ”

"It's good." Secretary Yu rarely praised that she could create such a quiet atmosphere in a metropolis like Beijing, and she couldn't praise it.

About four o'clock, the people they were waiting for finally came, when Secretary Yu saw Commissioner Du, he was stunned, and then when he saw Director Xu beside her, his face changed directly, she has been to Beijing many times, and she still knows a lot about the director of the Office of the Reform Office, which can be described as a person who has great power and decides the life and death of Dongning.

"How are you?" Director Xu frowned, and then asked Commissioner Du beside him, "Du Xiaomin, is this what you call your godson?" When did you learn to fool people? ”

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Commissioner Du took his hand, looked at Canglong and said, "Well, that is my godson, Secretary Yu is here, I really don't know." ”

"Godson?" Secretary Yu was surprised, especially when he saw Commissioner Du holding Director Xu's hand, his face was even more exciting, even Canglong was the same, when did he become Commissioner Du's godson? However, at Commissioner Du's age, being his godmother is not an advantage.

Thinking of yesterday Commissioner Du yesterday saying that Director Xu was a strange temper, Canglong understood something, especially when he saw Commissioner Du still holding Director Xu's hand intimately, if he still didn't understand, then he would be a fool, with Commissioner Du's character, it is absolutely impossible to be a mistress or something.

"Xiaolong, don't call your godfather yet!" Commissioner Du took Director Xu's hand with one hand to prevent him from leaving, and winked at Canglong as he spoke.

Canglong was stunned, he probably hadn't called a father in his life, so he held back for a long time before he said, "godfather!" ”

Although everyone heard Canglong's cry and was very unwilling, Director Xu finally decided to stay, but he didn't return to Canglong, just sat on the main seat by himself, Secretary Yu hurriedly poured him tea, but Director Xu didn't appreciate it, and said directly: "You are the secretary of the Dongning Municipal Party Committee, you should know that engaging in this set is illegal and undisciplined." ”

"I" Secretary Yu didn't know what to say, because she didn't know about it beforehand, but she didn't feel embarrassed, because since she knew this Director Xu, she hadn't seen him have a good face on people.

"Lao Xu, are you really not going to give me this face?" But at this moment, Commissioner Du suddenly put on a straight face and sat down on Canglong's side, "Although I promised Xiaolong to introduce you to him, I never said that you would promise them anything, as for the final decision, it is still up to you to decide, is this also difficult for you?" ”

Secretary Yu didn't speak, Canglong couldn't help but lower his head, he didn't expect it to be such a scene, if he had known that Lao Xu was Commissioner Du's husband, it is estimated that Canglong would not have made an appointment here, is this what is going on now?

But obviously, Lao Xu is a person who loves his wife very much, and when he saw that his wife was angry, he didn't feel that he had lost face, but just said: "Okay, okay, my fault, it's my fault, can't I make amends." ”

"That's pretty much it." Commissioner Du suddenly laughed again.

Seeing this posture, Secretary Yu hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and poured tea for Director Xu, and then Director Xu was a little dissatisfied and said, "Since you have even found your godmother, then you can tell me about your plan." ”

Director Xu looked at Canglong, although he looked careless, but Canglong felt that his eyes were sharp, and he was always watching his every move, but Canglong was not nervous at all, but said calmly: "Do you think there is anything wrong with my plan?" ”

Hearing Canglong's tone, Secretary Yu hurriedly glanced at him, but Canglong didn't care at all, while Commissioner Du was still drinking his own tea, and he didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with Canglong's tone.

Director Xu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Canglong deeply, and at first thought that Canglong was the kind of impolite young man, but when he stared at Canglong's eyes, he found that Canglong was also staring at him, and the two exchanged glances, Canglong did not have the slightest intention of taking it back, which made Director Xu a little surprised.

In his position, there are very few people who dare to face him, especially at Canglong's age, who is not trembling when he sees it, let alone such an aggressive gaze, and even he sees a bit of aggression in Canglong's eyes.

Director Xu didn't get angry, but thought it was very interesting, so he was straightforward and merciless: "It's naïve, ridiculous, if it really passes, it is estimated that Dongning will become a mess." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Secretary Yu: "Are you also a child?" Follow him so nonsense. ”

Secretary Yu didn't know what to say, but Commissioner Du glared at Director Xu, with a bit of blame in his eyes, and turned his head to Canglong and said, "Don't care, he has this temper." ”

Canglong didn't say anything, but Director Xu immediately said: "Oriental International was able to bid for the main project of the new economic zone in Dongning City because of the abundant funds behind it, but later we found out that the capital chain of Oriental International is not stable, and even many of them are not in the right way, Dongning City is a reform pilot, Secretary Yu, you will find such a company to cooperate, and follow him to mess around, it really disappoints me." ”

Saying that, Director Xu took a deep look at Canglong, and Commissioner Du stopped talking, and looked at Canglong strangely, because she didn't know that Canglong was the president of Oriental International, and thought that Canglong was just a link for Secretary Yu, but now it seems that things are completely different.

So she politely stopped talking, if Canglong was just a line, she could still help, but when it came to national interests, Commissioner Du liked Canglong, and would never interfere with her husband's handling.

And Secretary Yu also looked at Canglong, and there were doubts about the bidding at that time, but the president of Longteng International made a guarantee, so she was relieved, but now it seems that this is not the case.

But no one could have imagined that Canglong didn't care at all in the face of Director Xu's questioning, but just said: "Every foreign-funded company has its own funding channels, and as for whether the way is right or not, it doesn't seem that we should negotiate, and I am not ready to use these funds to invest in Dongning City." ”

"Since you're not going to invest so much money in this naïve plan, what else is there to talk about?" Director Xu chased after him, "Young people, have a snack, be pragmatic, don't always engage in crooked ways." ”

"Huh." Canglong smiled and said, "This is a letter of intent that my company has just signed with a foreign-funded company, which contains the company's investment in Dongning City. ”

Hearing this, Director Xu was a little strange, but he still picked up the contract and looked at it, but within a few minutes, the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful
