To Lin Hongfei's surprise, Lin Hongfei was surprised to find that Viktor, the deputy chief designer of the Antonov Design Bureau, was also in Kakikhanov's office.

What's going on? Lin Hongfei was a little surprised: as the deputy chief designer of the Antonov Design Bureau, Viktor shouldn't have appeared here at this time anyway, right?

"Lin, my friend, looking at your expression, it seems that the news you brought is not very good." Kravchuk, who was a little more haggard than three days ago, looked at Lin Hongfei, who obviously had an apologetic expression when he entered the door, and suddenly felt disappointed in his heart, but he still held on and joked with Lin Hongfei.

"Mr. President, I'm really sorry, I'm going to disappoint you this time," Kravchuk offered such a sincere condition, but he didn't get the result that the other party wanted, Lin Hongfei was very embarrassed in his heart, "This matter is very big, and three days is not enough time for our leaders to make a decision, so ...... I'm sorry. ”

Although Lin Hongfei said it implicitly, how could Kravchuk not understand the meaning of this? What does it mean that three days is not enough time to make a decision? If you can't make a decision within three days, it's unlikely that you will make a decision in three years' time. Kravchuk's face was filled with disappointment, but he still shook his head, "Mr. Lin, you don't have to be sorry for this, I know that this kind of thing is not something you can do." ”

Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly, this kind of thing, of course, is not something that he can do.

"Although your government has not given any answer, you should be able to answer the first question, Mr. Lin, right?" Kravchuk suddenly asked.

Well? Lin Hongfei's face suddenly changed: What do you mean by this?

"Mr. Lin, in the words of you Chinese, the Ming people do not speak secretly, don't tell me that you have no relationship with Mr. Kuchma, and don't tell me that Mr. Kuchma's sudden increase in strength during this time has nothing to do with your support." Kravchuk's words were extremely sharp, almost equivalent to a showdown with Lin Hongfei, "Although you can't answer me for the second and third requirements, you can answer me right now for the first condition, right?" ”

What the?! Lin Hongfei turned out to be the behind-the-scenes supporter of Kuchma, who forced Mr. President into an extremely embarrassing mess during this time?! Viktor and Kakikhanov instantly widened their eyes, and looked at Lin Hongfei in disbelief: How is this possible?!

"Mr. President is really powerful, I can't hide anything from you." Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly and simply admitted it. Now that Kravchuk has already pointed out this matter, it would be boring to pretend that he has nothing to do with it. Nodding, he said, "That's right, I did provide some financial support to Mr. Kuchma...... Mr. President, tell me about your conditions and what you can give me in return. ”

Since from the very beginning of entering the door. Kravchuk chose to speak in a showdown, and Lin Hongfei simply stud with Kravchuk.

"Happy!" Kravchuk gave a thumbs up. Praise. "What I want is very simple, the new president of Ukraine must still be me!"

"What do I get?" Lin Hongfei was noncommittal, "Also, how is Mr. President going to settle Mr. Kuchma?" ”

"After being re-elected as president, I went to Parliament as Deputy Speaker. During my re-election as President, Mr. Kuchma can assist me as Vice President, and after one term as Vice President, Mr. Kuchma will run for the next President. ”

"Vice President? Do you support him in his candidacy for the next president? Lin Hongfei was really shocked by Kravchuk's boldness: Nima's rhythm is clearly not afraid to die for even being elected president!

Just think about it. Of course, with the current support rate of Kuchma and Kravchuk among the people, there is almost no doubt that Kuchma will become the new president of the current government, and Kravchuk wants to be re-elected president, and the conventional way is impossible, only to go sideways: to promise Kuchma a position of "prince", to give Kuchma the opportunity to serve two terms as vice president and two terms of president, in exchange for the opportunity to serve two terms as president, this account ...... How to say it, it can be said that they have all earned, it is a win-win transaction, or it can be said that they have all lost, how to look at it, or how to see it depends on how the parties themselves look at it.

"That's right." Facing Lin Hongfei's shocked gaze, Kravchuk nodded affirmatively, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: I have been thinking about this problem for the past three days, and now it seems that I am going to succeed.

"Mr. President, please forgive me for my confession, but I am more concerned about what I have to gain than what you say?" Lin Hongfei groaned for a moment and asked dryly.

What about Kuchma, in fact, is not the main question that Lin Hongfei needs to think about, the question he needs to think about is what he can get if he turns to support Kravchuk?

"UGT-25000 gas turbine, D-36 turbofan engine...... Don't look at me like that, without the D-18T turbofan engine, even if the cooperation between the UGT-25000 gas turbine and the D-36 turbofan engine is carried out in secret, your people are coming to Ukraine, and if there are research and development results in it, we will share them. ”

"OK, no problem." Lin Hongfei didn't say a word, and immediately nodded and agreed: it is a fool not to agree: the D-36 engine can be regarded as the source of a series of high-performance aero engines in the former Soviet Union, and on the basis of the core engine of the D-36 engine, a series of high-power aero engines such as D-18T, D-436, and D-136 have been derived, which is an aero engine with great development potential.

"In addition, I believe you know that we in Ukraine not only have a batch of TU-22M3 'Backfire' large bombers, but also 19 TU-160 strategic bombers."

"That's right." Lin Hongfei nodded, of course he knew this, "But according to the "Agreement on the Disarmament of Strategic Weapons and the Proliferation of Imitation Weapons of Mass Destruction" signed between Ukraine and the United States, the TU-22M3 bomber should be completely dismantled by 2007, and the TU-160 bomber should be completely destroyed by 2002. ”

He looked at Kravchuk, waiting for Kravchuk's answer...... Boss Lin would never believe that at this time, Kravchuk would suddenly idle some useless things.

"Yes, we signed such an agreement, but now in 1994, there are still 8 years left before the complete destruction of 19 TU-160 bombers. There are still 13 years left before the TU-22M3 is completely destroyed," Kravchuk winked at Lin Hongfei, "and while we can't stop the travel of this agreement, we can decide when that plane will be dismantled during this time." ”

"You mean?" Lin Hongfei was completely shocked, if it weren't for the bearing and self-cultivation that Taishan had cultivated over the years and collapsed in front of him without moving, Lin Hongfei would have almost fallen to the ground.

"Yes, we can lease you one or two TU-160 and TU-22M3 bombers separately for your study in a designated barracks in Ukraine, and we can even provide a full set of maintenance manuals for $2 million per aircraft per year. You are responsible for the costs incurred during the flight, maintenance, etc. during this period. ”

“OK！” Lin Hongfei agreed without saying a word, this kind of condition, the one who does not agree is definitely a brain problem. Don't say $2 million a year, even $5 million a year is fine...... Someone will pay for it.

"There's one more. You can tell your government. We can work with them on ICBMs, Bison hovercraft, long-range cruise missiles, and of course, all in secret. Well, by the way, Lin, that's not your company's business, are they? If these businesses are part of your company's business. I can advise your government to hand over these operations to your company. Speaking of this, Kravchuk joked with a smile.

"I'm sorry, it's beyond our company's business, but it's just matchmaking. I'd love to. ”

"And the two most important ones." Speaking of this, Kravchuk's expression suddenly became serious.

"Please." Kravchuk's expression suddenly became so serious that Lin Hongfei couldn't help but become serious: Could it be that what he wants to talk about next is drama meat?

"First, on behalf of Ukraine, I hope that your government will pay $50 million to buy the Varyag aircraft carrier; The second, the AN-225 aircraft of the Antonov Design Bureau, I hope you will buy it for $130 million, Mr. Lin...... Of course, when we publicize it externally, we will only recognize 30 million US dollars, which is a prerequisite, and only by agreeing to these two conditions, the above conditions will take effect, and this price is the final price, and no negotiation is accepted. ”

Lin Hongfei guessed correctly, this is really the last condition, and Khaki Hanov deliberately put the restrictive conditions at the end of the game, just to let himself see the benefits he can give, so that he can't refuse...... If Kachikhanov had put forward these two conditions at the beginning, Lin Hongfei would have been able to spit on this guy, but now, Li Hongfei had to carefully consider how much loss he could bring to himself with this spit.

It's no wonder that Viktor and Kakikhanov are here at this time, so it's not surprising at all: the vast majority of the $100 million that was hidden went into the pockets of these three people?

This time, Lin Hongfei did not immediately reply to Kakikhanov, he pondered for a long time, and finally spoke, "I can't give you an answer to the Varyag now, I need to ask the central government before I can reply to you, as for the AN-225 transport plane, I'm sorry, I can accept the price of 60 million US dollars, 130 million US dollars?" I can't take it. ”

"You will accept it," Kakikhanov smiled confidently, "I have prepared a small gift for you on the plane, and this small gift is enough to make you feel that it is worth your money." ”

A gift? Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment: What gift can be worth 100 million? Well, it's still dollars. But after being stunned for a moment, Lin Hongfei immediately shook his head with a smile, "Mr. President, I don't think any gift can be worth 100 million...... $130 million is not a small number, nor is it a figure that I can accept, $60 million, which is the most sincere price I can offer. ”

You can't put an SS-24 ICBM on the AN-225 aircraft at all levels of the Kakikhanov level, right? That's a bit of a stretch.

"$120 million ......"

"$65 million ......"

…………

In the end, the two sides closed the deal for $80 million.

The Antonov Design Bureau is not only responsible for sending the aircraft to Boss Lin to Boss Lin's own territory, but also for teaching the pilots designated by Lin Hongfei to fly and operate the aircraft proficiently, and helping Lin Hongfei train the corresponding ground crew...... In fact, this last one seems to be a bit redundant, and there are few airports in the entire republic that can take off and land this plane, even if it is empty...... Boss Lin was wronged enough, and he hadn't even seen his plane yet, and $80 million was thrown out like this.

…………………………………………

"Mr. President, you have long known that Lin Hongfei has a relationship with Kuchma?" As soon as Lin Hongfei left, Kakikhanov, who could no longer hold back the shock in his heart, immediately asked Kravchuk, he never thought that Mr. President would have known who the mysterious person behind Kuchma was...... In this case, why does Mr. President not pick this point and must be so passive?

"Of course, otherwise how can we explain why Kuchma suddenly became so rich overnight? This can only show one point, this bastard has found a super rich behind-the-scenes boss to support him," as soon as he said this, Kravchuk gritted his teeth with hatred, "Looking at Kuchma's political position, he is not very biased towards the United States and Europe, a politician who is not biased towards the United States and Europe, and can threaten himself, but has such deep financial resources, don't you think it's strange?" In addition to Lin Hongfei's support, I can't think of anyone else who has such strong financial resources to back him. ”

Don't look at Kravchuk and Lin Hongfei talking and laughing just now, but as a person whose actual interests have been damaged, how can he not hate Lin Hongfei? But as a politician, you have to put your preferences aside and put your interests first.

Viktor and Kakikhanov were full of incredulity, but when they thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, but then a new question arose, "But in that case, Mr. President, what do you ...... about?"

From the point of view of Viktor and Kakikhanov, they really can't understand why Mr. President is doing this: this Lin Hongfei is clearly your opponent, why do you spare no effort to help him and support him? Isn't that an enemy? It doesn't make sense!

"Since this strength can be used by Kuchma, then why can't I use it?" The haggard on Kravchuk's face dissipated a little, and the whole person became full of confidence again, turned his head to look at Viktor and Kakikhanov, and said, "Viktor, Kakikhanov, you must remember that it is impossible for us to defeat such a force, and the best result is a lose-lose situation, but we can use this strength for us...... Capital is always profit-seeking, and as long as we keep this in mind, we can turn a disadvantage into an advantage. (To be continued......)
