Chapter 44: It's better to buy than to build, and it's better to rent than to buy.

Grushevsky Prospect.

A cafΓ© called: "Die ukraine", which is a traditional Ukrainian restaurant for nearly 50 years, can be said to be ridiculous, it is actually opened by a German, this string of German translates, "Ukraine first!" ”

There are very few people in the store, and the freckled waitress girl in front of the counter wipes her cup with a tissue, but her eyes often look towards the west corner of the store, where there are several tables of customers, four or five big men in suits sitting on the periphery, and an Asian sitting at the table inside, holding a coffee, looking at the street in a daze.

Jingle bells...

The wind chimes hanging at the door rang clearly, and the waitress hurriedly came back to her senses and subconsciously shouted: "Welcome."

Two men in trench coats walked in, one of whom seemed to have a slight injury to his right foot and was walking with a slight limp.

"Hey, Ivan."

The waitress saw the Asian standing up with a smile on her face and raised her hand to greet them, and helped them pull the chair away, and motioned to her, "Two lattes." ”

"Wait a minute."

Tang Dao looked at Andrievich, the two looked at each other, and the latter instantly understood, and hurriedly introduced: "Joseph. Dostoevsky. ”

The introduction is very simple, but Tang Dao knows that this guy must be the spokesperson of a certain department of the Air Force, and this is a living errand.

You must know that in the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited 35% of the power of the big brother, in addition to strategic weapons, it is only the air force armament, which has forcibly pushed Ukraine to the third place in the world and the first in Europe!

At that time, the Ukrainian Air Force had about 50,000 people, consisting of 1 Air Force Command and 3 Air Force Groups, 6 Il-76 Transport Regiments, 1 Air Tanker Regiment and an Air Transport Group.

In addition, the Air Defense Forces of Ukraine have 30,000 people, 1 air defense army, 9 anti-aircraft missile and some anti-aircraft rocket units, as well as radar and radio-technical troops.

It is mainly equipped with 102 medium-range bombers; There were 240 fighter-bombers, 340 fighters, 87 reconnaissance planes, 35 electronic warfare planes, and 850 trainer planes.

The local tyrants who got out of the way were stunned by themselves and became the second in the Argentine Air Force, and later when they got into trouble with their eldest brother, only the Su-27 was beaten into a sieve in the air alone, and the total number was less than thirty.

These family funds were all sold out by them in just a dozen years.

Therefore, Tang Dao believes that the air force group of talents is the most hilarious.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Joseph." Tang Dao was relaxed, trying to maintain the demeanor of a businessman.

Joseph actually didn't say anything as soon as he came in, patronizing and looking at Tang Dao, he had seen too many interested people who wanted goods, but they couldn't afford the money, to put it bluntly, they were poor and wasted their time, but the suit on the Asian in front of him looked very luxurious, and the most important thing was that the bodyguard sitting next to him could feel the explosive power hidden under the suit with his eyes.

In the United States, the hourly salary of a qualified and excellent bodyguard is: $700!

This is not the top level, Joseph remembers that there was a big man who came with 20 professional bodyguards from CACI company, and I heard that the hourly salary alone was close to 110,000 US dollars!

Therefore, in Joseph's mind, those who can hire bodyguards are theoretically not short of money, and his attitude towards rich people is naturally good, "I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Nicholas, I have heard Ivan tell you about your deeds, and it is great to be able to save money in the United States." ”

This made Tang Dao stunned, and looked at Andrievich in surprise, who was lowering his head slightly and winking at him, Tang Dao suddenly realized, and suddenly understood in his heart that in order to make an appointment with Joseph, the other party must have touted him to a certain extent.

Who said that Mao Zi has a straight head?

That's flexible.

Tang Dao continued, waved his hand, and disguised himself as a rich second generation, "These are just my grandfather's skills, and I am only responsible for spending money." After he finished speaking, he put his left hand on the chair, as if to say, I have a showdown.

Rich second generation?

Andrijevich was confused, and Joseph was full of joy.

"I opened my own foreign trade company, I need a large transport plane, I heard that you have goods here, so..." Tang Dao's right index finger turned in a circle in mid-air, and he snorted.

"That's, we have a transport plane here, which one do you want, Mr. Nun Rass?"

"An-12! The young fox is pretty good. Joseph nodded in response, the nickname given by NATO is still good, he ripped off his trench coat, as if he was about to cover what he said, and lowered his voice, "Our offer is 3.5 million US dollars." ”

$3.5 million?

The corners of Tang Dao's eyes twitched slightly, and he wanted to flip the table on the spot.

When you are an old cannon, haven't you seen the world?

If you go through formal channels, these prices are absolutely enough, and even organizations or countries rush to ask for them, but he is here to trade privately, and he has to sell them at such a high price, is he stupid X written on his head?

The conversion of 3.5 million US dollars into RMB is about: 28 million.

When Paulaite Airlines later went bankrupt, it auctioned off six An-124s, with an average transaction price of about $890,000.

Of course, Joseph was blindly bidding, he wanted to slaughter it, but his eyes noticed that Tang Dao's face was wrong, and he was about to say a few polite words, when he saw the latter knock on the table with his finger and stretched out his finger, "700,000 US dollars, I can give you a Swiss bank cashier's check now." ”

Directly cut 4/5.

Joseph opened his mouth to refuse, but was scolded back by Tang Dao's next sentence, "Sir, now Ukraine is crazy, in addition to you, I can find a few more willing to sell to me at a low price, their prices are definitely more affordable, these transport planes are moldy in the warehouse, it is better to do something useful, if you agree, I can buy two An-12." ”

Tang Dao is right, Ukraine can't afford to eat!

Why won't the plane start? Aviation engine oil has been stolen and sold, and a small number of people have even drunk it, in this case, the aircraft is more of an ornament.

"Thisβ€”" Joseph said to him, but hesitated.

"I can do another business with you." Tang Dao is going to keep going on the other party's sheep, "You have Il 76, right?" ”

Joseph frowned, "Mr. Nicholas, have an idea?" ”

The Il-76 is currently the most successful heavy transport aircraft, which can radiate the entire African continent, the most important, it is too expensive, an average of 18 million US dollars per family, and Tang Dao also wants it, but there is no money in his pocket.

But what is the saying?

It's better to buy than to build, and it's better to rent than to buy.

That's what he thought, rubbing his hands, his face was thick, "Can I rent it?" 500,000 dollars a month, and if you buy out, you're going to sell it to me for 20% below the market price, how about that? ”

Andrievich was dumbfounded as he listened.

The arms business turned into a leasing business?

But to be honest, he is also tempted by this business, 500,000 US dollars a month, and he doesn't have to do anything, it's exciting to think about.

If Tang Dao wants to come, he will make a big move, set up all the air lines, and try to strengthen his power before other arms dealers get up, anyway, in this place in Ukraine, what can't be bought?

As long as there is money, these capitalist bastards are willing to sell the country, and the face of the supremacy of interests is disgusting, but Tang Dao likes it, even if he is pulled by Lao Maozi in the future, he is willing.

"It's... I've got to report back. "Joseph didn't dare to call the shots.

"Of course, I still have to go to the army to see the goods, after all, they are also poor, I have to send them some warmth, let them feel the taste of capitalist dollars." Tang Dao looked at the old-fashioned watch, "It's almost noon, I've already booked lunch, let's go together." ”

To have a free lunch is cheap.

When he went back, he could only nibble on cans with those big-headed soldiers, he nodded, looking happy, "Thank you very much." ”

Franklin was pressed down on the table, and the group walked out of the cafΓ© side by side.

The waitress looked at the dollar, her eyes lit up, and she skillfully stuffed the money into her boots, and after packing up her things, she returned to the counter and did nothing about it.

Anyway, the boss is not here, he is busy moving bricks at the construction site in Ukraine to subsidize the family.
