Chapter 848: Concert Journey Ten
Paris, one of the world's international metropolises, the second largest city in Europe, the capital and largest city of the French Republic, is known as the capital of art, culture and romance, not only the world-famous Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, but also the famous Champs-Élysées, known as a paradise for luxury shopping.
After the plane landed at the airport, Wu Chen and a group of beauties and attachés, under the protection of the police, went directly through the VIP passage into the parking lot, where he was waiting for Alyselle and Eva, as well as the luxury bus sent by the company.
Wu Chen didn't dare to stay at all, he just got in the car and left, if the news of his arrival was discovered, it would be a big trouble, and he would not be at peace until the last second before leaving. The time of the concert has been arranged for a long time, starting this morning, near the passage of the airport departure hall, it is said that tens of thousands of fans are waiting for him, forcing the Paris police station to be like a big enemy, and has to give him advance notice and ask him to go through the VIP channel to reduce the chance of chaos.
"I suspect that there are other things in this world that you won't do, not only can you make movies and win awards, but you can also make money as a businessman, and now you are starting to be a singer again, you don't feel tired, I feel tired for you!" Eva sat beside him without hesitation, holding one of his arms, the other of which belonged to Ellie.
How to say it, the two of them just tasted the feeling between men and women, and they were happy, but Wu Chen really didn't have time to accompany them, and this was not because of partiality, but because they were very busy, and they seized this opportunity, of course they refused to let it go.
"Do you think I want to do this, it's not Michael's thing, saying that I want to use my unique voice to promote my singers to the world, and I'm also the big boss of Dream Warner Records, when it comes to this, what can I do?" Wu Chen rolled his eyes, and his mood suddenly became unhappy.
"Can the first part of Pirates of the Caribbean be released worldwide at Christmas? This was my first movie, and I never dreamed of it. Eva felt that her man was not in a good mood, and hurriedly changed the topic, if it weren't for everything he was legendary about, she wouldn't have been crazy about him, knowing that there were so many sisters, she was still reluctant to leave.
"Of course, there is no problem with this, I also have high hopes for this movie, and at the end of the year, it will be with the company a series of commercial productions to jointly grab the global box office, such as the second part of "Harry Potter", the first part of "The Lord of the Rings", etc., these are strong competitors, according to my prediction, the three of you can basically tie." Wu Chen smiled and said.
According to the data of the original version, the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" Part 1 is more than $600 million, while the second part of "Harry Potter" and the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" are both more than $800 million, a difference of $200 million.
But Wu Chen has absolute confidence in himself, the first part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was written and filmed by himself, and investing more scenes to make up for this part of the box office can make up for this part of the box office, and there is no problem with three films earning seven or eight billion US dollars this year.
To say that such box office data is nothing in Wu Chen's eyes, there are at least seventeen or eighteen films with a total box office of more than one billion dollars, and two films with a total box office of more than one billion dollars, and one film with a total box office of more than one billion dollars, is it a lot?
Marcas did not come to see Wu Chen to report on his work this time, but happened to meet together, and he had to go to a number of manufacturers in Italy, France and Germany to receive various parts and electronic components needed for the modified version of the main battle tank, as well as related equipment for the pulsating production line.
The EU countries are ready to set aside Britain and independently engage in a European independent defense system, but they are afraid that the US government will bring irresistible pressure from the stumbling block, so they want to let the mercenaries muddy the waters in front.
The idea is not bad, but since the object of cooperation is a mercenary army, then there is a saying, this is an industry that does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, Wu Chen sent Marcus as a plenipotentiary representative, this goods have always been a goose plucking personality, how can it be possible to give up this opportunity, so, in addition to the key sensitive equipment, the rest such as engines and pulsating production line equipment, handed over to Germany manufacturing, composite armor to France manufacturing, electrical equipment to Italy manufacturing, weapons to Sweden manufacturing, the first purchase volume is 20,000 sets, There are many more to come.
In the plan of Marcus and the army, all the main battle tanks of the former Soviet Union need to be upgraded, and while they have an interest in European countries, they are simply made in one go, this time European countries are making them at a loss, and the government has carried out a part of the subsidies, and next time God knows if there will be such an opportunity.
"Boss, I have purchased 3,000 T-54 main battle tanks and 5,000 T-55 main battle tanks abandoned in Poland, 2,700 T-54 main battle tanks and more than 8,300 T-55 main battle tanks in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and 19,000 new main battle tanks in our former Soviet Union."
"The Army Command is ready to submit an application to convert all these main battle tanks into infantry fighting vehicles to strengthen the combat effectiveness of mechanized units, and to install anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles on these modified infantry fighting vehicles, in addition to remote-controlled machine guns." Marcus said in the living room of Eva's house.
"These bastards really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you transport all those old tanks to Ukolan, and let the technicians of the tank manufacturing base do a check first, which tank engines are still in good condition, and which ones need to be replaced, and report to me."
"The German-made water-cooled four-stroke 850 horsepower diesel engine was quoted to us for 200,000 US dollars, which is already very low, but 20,000 units is 4 billion US dollars, plus the reserves, we still need 20,000 units, and this alone makes us stretched."
"The nineteen thousand main battle tanks you bought, if you need to replace the engine, you will directly produce it locally from Ukolan, which will be good for us, in addition to solving jobs, it will not be restricted by the place of origin, I plan to use a gas turbine and a diesel engine, which is also taking into account a variety of factors, depending on the actual needs of the battlefield." Wu Chen thought for a while and said.
This money is never enough to spend, just to transform these old tanks, in the blink of an eye, it is billions of dollars, waste utilization also requires costs, it is easy to say, it is really distressing to do, if you complete the transformation of so many main battle tanks, it is not possible to come up with tens of billions of dollars.
"I have only now discovered an astonishing fact, how many main battle tanks were produced in the former Soviet Union, and so far, we have bought a total of 75,000 units, and I feel dizzy when I think about this number, and I have only spent more than two billion dollars in total!"
"The T-54/55, T-62, T-64, and T-64B basically belong to 10,000 US dollars, and the T-72 and T-80 are only 100,000 US dollars, as well as tens of thousands of tons of spare parts and engines, and it takes nearly 3 million tons to sell scrap iron!" Marcus said with a sigh.
