Five rolls is five million dollars, plus those six million, that's 11 million dollars, a deposit of 5.5 million dollars, plus a deposit of 6.5 million dollars for catapults, the French have to pay a one-time deposit of 12 million dollars!

Alas, regression! Qin Feng sighed in his heart.

In the past, it was easy to talk about a small goal in business, but now? However, if the transaction of two or three hundred million yuan was put aside, Qin Feng would not be willing to come forward in person at all, and directly hand it over to his subordinates to do.

Now, if you are short of money, you have to worry about this little money.

Moreover, this is not only to make money, but also to develop equipment, catapults, and blocking devices for the Navy, which are all produced in the Pacific Group, and it gives you a sense of accomplishment when you think about it.

Qin Feng's mood was not bad, but on the other side, Eric's heart was a little entangled.

Things are good and must be bought, but according to their financial plan, they will not be included in the purchase plan until next year or even the year after, which means that it is not easy to advance in advance now.

So, what's the solution?

His mind was thinking rapidly, and the next investigation was also absent-minded, so until noon, Qin Feng held a banquet in the largest hotel in the development zone to entertain Eric and his party.

"Mr. Eric, how about we sign the contract in the afternoon? You also pay as soon as possible, so that the deal is completed, now, let's toast to the happy cooperation! ”

"Cheers!"

Eric is still hesitating in his heart, it's okay to sign a contract, but what about the payment? How do you explain when you go back?

"You should have purchased these for the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, right? Please rest assured, the quality of the products we produce is absolutely reliable, don't look at us only producing civilian products, but many civilian products are better than military products! ”

"Yes, yes."

"So, what about your two aircraft carriers in active service? Isn't it time to retire? ”

Erik's eyes suddenly lit up, there it is!

"Actually, for us, two aircraft carriers are enough to defend our maritime rights and interests in France, so after the construction of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and the second ship is completed, our two aircraft carriers in service will be decommissioned, however, this is not because the performance of these two aircraft carriers is too poor to meet the demand, for many countries, these two aircraft carriers are still quite good, you East has been committed to obtaining a strong sea power, do you want to buy one?"

After the French disposed of two Clemenceau-class, there was only one Charles de Gaulle left, and once they returned to port or repaired, the French had no other aircraft carriers to use, in fact, when they built the Charles de Gaulle, they had already planned the second ship, named the Richelieu.

It's a pity that Charles de Gaulle delayed for a long time, and after the sea trials, it was found that there were countless problems, and it was not mature, and the French national strength gradually weakened, so the second ship was stopped, and only one remained, and in later generations, although they shouted all day long to build a new aircraft carrier, with a displacement of more than 70,000 tons, but they were just unwilling to be compared by the British, and in fact there was so much money.

They can only watch the launch of advanced warships one after another in the East, after all, the East has the advantage of low production costs.

As for their current two Clemenceau-class? It's long gone.

The first Clemenceau started construction in 55 years, was launched in 57 years, and served in 61 years, more than 30 years have passed, the interior of this aircraft carrier is seriously aging, and many unreasonable designs are also reflected in Linlin's exquisiteness, especially the aircraft carrier also uses a large number of asbestos and other materials inside, even if it is dismantled, it will cause serious pollution.

Therefore, the French once wanted to send the aircraft carrier to the East, but the East rejected it, wanted to dismantle it, and refused to accept it everywhere, but the third brother didn't want it. The second ship, the Foch, was sold to the football nation, and as a result, it spent all day in the harbor, and almost never sailed normally.

Now, the French still want to play this trick?

"Our Pacific Group is a private enterprise, what do you want an aircraft carrier to do?"

"Your navy needs it." Eric said: "No air supremacy, no sea supremacy, if you want to have air supremacy, you must have an aircraft carrier, you are now in the experimental carrier-based aircraft landing, indicating that you are preparing to build an aircraft carrier, in fact, your strength can not be built, it is better to purchase ours, not too expensive, 50 million US dollars!" ”

Anyway, the Charles de Gaulle was put into service, and the Clemenceau also had to be decommissioned, so it was better to retire it now, sell it to the Orientals, and make a lot of money. The construction of the Charles de Gaulle will also progress faster.

"The Clemenceau aircraft carrier has just undergone a second upgrade a few years ago, equipped with Sea Sidewinder missiles and electronic jamming systems, and improved air defense capabilities, after you get it, you don't need to modify it, you can ......use it directly," Eric gushed about.

Eating is secondary, talking about business is important, and now, Eric has finally found a source of funding, and it is like a spit star, but ...... Qin Feng doesn't seem to care?

"Mr. Qin, what do you think of this plan?"

"Mr. Eric, we are a private enterprise, it doesn't make sense for you to tell me this, if you want to sell it, then you should find the military."

Eric suddenly found the wrong person!

"I'll go in the afternoon!"

"What about the contract?"

"After your navy agrees, I will sign the contract."

Everyone here looked at each other, tossing all morning, it was all in vain, just kidding, the army is not stupid, how can it be possible to spend 50 million dollars to buy your second-hand aircraft carrier? Don't give it for nothing, and don't want to break the ship!

Qin Feng is still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, he knows that the French have no money, and he also knows that the French will have to sign the contract in the end, because American goods are more expensive!

How they raise money, they don't care.

In the afternoon of the same day.

Desailly took Eric to the tomb of the princess in the capital, the Yellow Building.

The large conference room was full of people, and Eric gushed about the aircraft carrier Clemenceau, and everyone in the room listened attentively, several of them wearing glasses, and asking questions repeatedly.

"With this arrangement of the ammunition depot, how to protect it in case it is shot?"

"The elevator in front is on the inboard, why didn't you change it to the side in the first place?"

"What's the on-deck plane scheduling? Can you elaborate on that? ”

Listening to these introductions, Eric subconsciously thought that the Eastern Navy was interested in this aircraft carrier, and his mouth was dry all afternoon, and when night fell, he finally spoke: "So, you spent 50 million dollars to purchase our aircraft carrier, it is definitely worth it!" ”

"Well, we need to think about it again, and our army procurement, that is to go through the process, thank you for giving us a wonderful explanation today, let us open our eyes!"

These words are not wrong, for any country, the purchase of an aircraft carrier is a major matter, it needs to go through repeated consultations, repeated demonstrations, it is impossible to agree to it all at once, the head is hot, the navy has no money, the navy wants to procure, it needs the relevant departments to allocate funds, these are all to go through the process.

When the French were enthusiastically sent away, the leader of the navy Zhang immediately ordered his subordinates: "Call President Qin immediately!" ”

"Which Mr. Qin?"

"Which one else? Mr. Qin of the Pacific Group! By the way, invite Liu Lao to also come, and it is a major event related to the development of our navy, especially related to aircraft carriers, Liu Lao must be invited! ”

At this time, Qin Feng had just returned to the capital, and before he could go home, Big Brother rang, and when he put down the phone, he suddenly had a feeling: Having Big Brother is not necessarily a good thing, because others can find him at any time, and he has no reason to refuse!

Well, it's time to find another secretary, the big brother's secretary takes it, someone comes to find it, the secretary answers the phone, and it's convenient for him to shirk it.

There was no way, Qin Feng could only drive to the princess's grave.

The conference room was full of people, in addition to the group that had contact with the French during the day, there were a few more, such as Liu Lao.

"Xiao Feng, I'm waiting for you, you and the French asked for a high price, and they turned around and wanted to make money back from us, do you have to give us an idea, this Clemenceau, do we want it or not?"

"Don't give it for nothing, we don't take the rags." Qin Feng was simply direct.

"Mr. Qin, let's listen to the explanation of the French today, this aircraft carrier is okay."

"That's right, let's try it first, master the operation of the aircraft carrier, and reserve forces for our navy, isn't it?"

Of course, the most excited people present were the technicians of the 891 Project, and the big guys engaged in the demonstration of the aircraft carrier project, all of which were on paper, and there was no opportunity to practice them except for the last time the Melbourne came into contact with them. This afternoon, they are also the ones who asked questions, the French are here, and they must ask for more advice, so we are not ashamed to ask.

The Melbourne is just an empty shell, scrap metal, while the Clemenceau is a real usable aircraft carrier, with a barrage, a catapult, and an elevator, which is very valuable to everyone.

"Trial? How do I try it? Can J-11 fly from its deck? Or can you descend into the hangar through that cramped lift? Do we have to buy carrier-based aircraft from the French? Isn't that money? ”

"Well, catapults aren't enough, but aren't we already building new ones? It's on the same level as the American aircraft carrier, can't we build it and replace it? ”

"No, the deck area is not enough, the boiler pressure is not enough, if we want to change it, we have to change it, and we have to replace the boiler, how much do you think it will cost to improve it?" I can tell you responsibly that it is not cheaper than building a new aircraft carrier! So, if we have this aircraft carrier, we have to continue to buy carrier-based aircraft from the French! ”

Qin Feng said it loudly, but after finishing speaking, he felt that it was not appropriate, after all, he still had to buy the Varyag to improve it in the later stage, how to round it?

"The larger the displacement of the aircraft carrier, the more complicated it is to operate, and the French aircraft carrier is only 30,000 tons, which is not suitable at all." Qin Feng said: "Our navy needs at least 60,000 tons, or even 80,000 tons, to be convenient for operating the J-11, unless the navy changes carrier-based aircraft to more than 10 tons." ”

"Yes, as long as we take the J-11 as a scheduled carrier-based aircraft, we must use a large aircraft carrier, and a small aircraft carrier makes no sense to us." Liu Lao spoke.

"However, there are many arguments in the international community that large aircraft carriers are live targets at sea, and small aircraft carriers are the king."

"Small is king? This argument was made by the Americans, don't be fooled by the Americans, look at the Yankees' aircraft carriers, are they getting bigger and bigger? ”

The United States does not have a strategic flickering bureau, but they still have a group of people who can flicker, they shout all day long that large aircraft carriers are useless, fooling others to give up large aircraft carriers, what about themselves? Aircraft carriers are getting bigger and bigger!

The Kitty Hawk class has a full load displacement of 90,000 tons, the Nimitz class has a full load displacement of 100,000 tons, and the Ford class has a full load displacement of 110,000 tons, which is getting bigger and bigger!

"Moreover, when the Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier was built, it used a lot of unenvironmentally friendly ...... Toxic materials, such as asbestos, this aircraft carrier has been used for twenty or thirty years, and many of the materials in it are aging, and they are harmful to the human body if they are used for a long time, so this kind of aircraft carrier, we don't want it for nothing! ”

In a period of time, the use of asbestos was very high, such as building a house, all of which were directly installed on the roof, but when the sun and wind blow, the asbestos tiles would age, and there would be fluffy things inside, and they would be breathed into the lungs by people, and they would stick to the lungs, so the person was finished.

Therefore, similar materials have been banned, and the French Yankee's poisonous aircraft carrier will not even be dismantled by Ah San, and the dogs will not be ignored!

"That's right, we don't want it for nothing!"

"Even if it is given to the aircraft carrier for nothing, we still have to buy carrier-based aircraft, the French are very bad!"

On the other side, Eric, who had returned to the hotel, was also discussing with everyone.

"The East is very poor, and you have to think twice about buying anything." Desailly spoke: "50 million US dollars is indeed not much, after all, it is our active aircraft carrier, but the Orientals still can't come up with the money, and it will take them a long time to go through the process, often one or two years, or even three or five years." ”

Eric frowned, yes, during the day, he still didn't think it through.

"Back then, we sold the Mirage 2000 fighter, thinking that we had decided to eat the Orientals, but I didn't expect them to ask for it in the end, just because of the price. However, this aircraft carrier is only worth one or two planes, but I didn't expect them to have no money to buy it! ”

"Yes, it's poor, it's still developing its economy here, and the army is patient." "We have to think of something else," Desailly said. ”

The people in the room scratched their ears and cheeks, or Eric thought of something first: "You say, how about we give this aircraft carrier to the Orientals for free?" ”

"Free delivery?"

"That's right, it's free!" Eric said: "In this way, they should have no worries, and they will definitely accept it happily, but this aircraft carrier with a displacement of 30,000 tons is too big for their J-11 fighters, and if they want to operate this aircraft carrier, they have to purchase super flag fighters from us, and they will ...... when the time comes."

Everyone's eyes are shining, yes!

The aircraft carrier is sent for free, the fighter asks for a higher price, and the money is earned!

Looking at the world, there are not many countries with aircraft carriers, a few small aircraft carriers use Sea Harriers, this aircraft is chicken ribs, and it can't even fly at supersonic speed, while the United States is a supercarrier, and carrier-based aircraft are more than 20 tons.

The Orientals got the Clemenceau, and soon they found that they could not operate the J-11 carrier-based aircraft, so they could only ask them for help from France, and at that time, they would be able to make money!

"Tomorrow we will go to the Orientals, and they will definitely accept it! Moreover, we gave the Eastern Navy an aircraft carrier for free, and the Eastern Navy, if grateful, can also contact the Pacific Group, do not ask for our deposit, and accept our reservation first! ”

Eric's abacus played well.

Early the next morning, Citroen drove into the princess's tomb again and stopped outside the Yellow Building.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as a gesture of friendship, we have decided to give you the aircraft carrier Clemenceau for free!"

Eric said excitedly, trying to see the surprise and excitement in the other party's expression, but he was disappointed, the other party was so flat that he suspected that he had just spoken.

Isn't it a pie-in-the-sky thing to give an aircraft carrier for free? The person on the other side is so calm?

The big guy's heart is like a mirror, free things are the most expensive, thanks to yesterday's exchange with Mr. Qin, otherwise I would have been fooled today!

Leader Zhang smiled and said: "We are really moved by the fact that you gave us the aircraft carrier for free, but only the aircraft carrier is not enough, if you are really sincere, you might as well give us the carrier-based aircraft above." ”

Click!

A bolt from the blue appeared in Eric's mind, Nima, what do you mean, the other party immediately guessed his intentions? How so?

All the French were embarrassed.

"That, that ......," Eric was momentarily speechless.

How so?

We're just going to give away your aircraft carrier for nothing, and then make money on carrier-based aircraft? All together? Why are you so thick-skinned?

"We plan to continue to use this carrier-based aircraft on the Charles de Gaulle." Eric finally came up with an explanation: "So, the carrier-based aircraft can't be handed over to you." ”

"So what do we use? We only have one aircraft carrier, and if we don't have carrier-based aircraft, then the aircraft carrier will be meaningless, and the J-11 we have at hand is too big to go up at all, forget it, we thank you for your kindness. ”

Leader Zhang is very simple, we have to send it together, otherwise we don't want it!

Eric's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the next countermeasures, but it was clear that he couldn't think of anything, and the other party had blocked all his paths!

"After all, this is an aircraft carrier, you will use it first, and when our Rafale fighters come out, the super military flag will be empty, and we will talk about it then."

"No, we don't, we heard that there is a lot of toxic material on it, we ......"

Click!

The second thunderbolt from the blue, toxic materials, who said that? Whose mouth is so poisonous?

Ahh

Qin Feng sneezed.

Zhao Jiao immediately looked at him with concern: "Brother Feng, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I guess someone is saying bad things about me behind my back, come, let me listen to our baby with my belly."

Zhao Jiao's face was full of excitement: not only a baby, but also a male baby!

"Brother Feng, shouldn't we get up?"

"Don't worry, sleep a little longer."
