The factory director stared at Li Wenjun: "Young man, I always think you look familiar."
Li Wenjun smiled: "Yes, I have a university and I am cooperating and communicating with several universities in Ukraine. Maybe you have seen my posters when I invited you to give lectures."
The factory director nodded: "It's also possible."
Li Wenjun said: "Then we have made an agreement?"
The factory director said: "Okay. It's a deal."
The others just looked at the two people chattering there and couldn't hear what was said at all.
Then they sat back and the factory director came back, chatted with Leto for a few words and then left.
Leto asked, "How was it?"
Li Wenjun sighed: "Bargaining, I still don't know what the outcome will be in the end."
He also told the truth.
The key is whether the factory director will use the method he said in the end.
If it is used, then they will do it in one go.
If not, you will have to make one more trip.
The Black Sea Shipyard announced the auction rules, requiring everyone participating in the auction to submit a check of 10 million U.S. dollars as a guarantee. Any bank in Europe will do.
The registration deadline is forty-eight hours.
In fact, the buyers have already arrived in Kiev.
If they are really prepared to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy an aircraft carrier, they can definitely write a check for 10 million at any time.
So forty-eight hours is not short.
In fact, the Black Sea Shipyard has been somewhat unable to make ends meet in the past two years, because during the previous "separation", Russia took away many ships without paying a penny. The shipyard was emptied out in one fell swoop.
The shipyard director has been seeking help from European countries or investment from private banks.
In addition to raising funds to maintain operations, this auction is also for the shipyard to build advertising and let everyone know their strength.
Sure enough, a few days ago, the chairman of the Bank of Spain, who had been avoiding seeing him before, said that he would come to the factory to investigate whether the shipyard was worthy of investment.
The factory director readily agreed and came out to greet him personally.
Anyway, there is nothing else to do these two days except waiting for the buyer to pay the deposit.
Moreover, this bank has investments in Ukraine, Russia, the United States, Turkey, Greece and Spain.
The owner behind the scenes has a unique vision, ruthlessness and accuracy. He has invested in banks, gold mines, coal mines, iron mines, oil fields and ports in Ukraine. All of them are good businesses that sit back and collect money.
Moreover, it is also the investment bank of the "European Recovery Plan", and its background is as tough as possible.
To sum it up in one sentence, he is a rich and reliable owner.
It wasn't until he saw Li Wenjun that the factory director realized: It's the same group of people who come and go! Yesterday, the person who was drinking and not talking with Li Wenjun turned out to be the boss of a Spanish investment bank. It was really surprising.
The factory director gritted his teeth and thought about it. As long as the boss was willing to pay, Li Wenjun could watch it as long as he wanted. Anyway, he wouldn't learn anything from watching it. He just pretended that he didn't see Li Wenjun.
It was rare for Ji Qingtao to be the boss in front of Li Wenjun. He seemed to be a villain, walking in front with his hands behind his back like a veteran cadre, listening to the introduction of the factory director.
Before coming today, Li Wenjun said to Ji Qingtao: "Today you will be the protagonist and do what you are best at, which is to embarrass the factory director as much as possible. It is best to make him cry. There is only one principle that cannot be humiliated based on personal flaws. , you can say anything else.”
Ji Qingtao geared up: "Oh, this is easy. I'm a professional at making things difficult for others."
I originally wanted to stay at home with Yu Mingjie, who was pregnant, but Li Wenjun pulled me out. Yu Mingjie was very supportive, saying that I was hanging around at home all day long, making her want to vomit.
What is this logic? ! !
It's obviously morning sickness, what does it have to do with my appearance.
I was holding back a lot of anger and had nowhere to vent it.
Just in time, factory director, it’s just you, who asked you to point your back and hit the muzzle! !
When he saw the factory director, Ji Qingtao was already excitedly drafting in his mind.
The factory director said: "We are the largest shipyard in the Black Sea. Over the past 100 years since our establishment, we have produced more than 1,000 ships of various types, including heavy aircraft carriers, including aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, etc. We are also a superpower. The only aircraft carrier construction and assembly plant. We produced a total of ten aircraft carriers for the superpowers."
Ji Qingtao stopped and turned to ask him: "How many ships are left in Ukraine in the end?"
The factory director suppressed his blush and reluctantly answered: "One ship."
Ji Qingtao nodded: "The remaining one is still half-repaired, almost like scrap metal. The other ones that can be used have been driven away directly."
The director's eyes turned red: Yes! Russia is so unreasonable that they didn’t even give me a single ruble! !
If not for this, would their shipyard be so embarrassed?
The factory director took a deep breath and finally calmed down, then introduced: "We have the most advanced comprehensive slipway system in Europe, including large cranes and overhead gantry cranes, with a lifting capacity of 900 tons each. The maximum load capacity we can produce is 1.5 A 10,000-ton freighter.”
Ji Qingtao said: "Put it down. You are good at making weapons, but you are far behind in making civilian ones. Spain has long been able to build cargo ships of 100,000 tons. China can also build ships of more than 100,000 tons. You are still promoting 1.5 Thousands of tons, far behind.”
The factory director was so excited that he blurted out: "To build a ship of 100,000 tons, there is no problem with our technology. The problem is that we don't have the funds."
Ji Qingtao: "Didn't you say that you have aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates? You can make money by selling a few of them. Cruise ships, cargo ships, oil tankers, etc. are much easier to sell than these things. Let's renovate them. If assets are not revitalized, What a joke."
The factory director choked and sighed: "I think so too."
Not all of you are stupid and have a lot of money, so you can easily spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a boat.
Ji Qingtao said: "Our company spent 50 million U.S. dollars to buy a cruise ship and made it back in one year. Isn't it more profitable for you to build a cruise ship than to build these useless weapons ships? Your engines, anti-corrosion, and welding processes are all ready-made .”
The factory director's eyes turned red: "I think so too."
Not to mention the raw materials, we can’t even pay the wages to the workers. Technology alone is of no use.
Ji Qingtao pursed his lips and shook his head: "I don't see anything worth investing in here. No wonder it's going bankrupt. To be honest, in your situation, no bank in the world would dare to invest in you. You might as well just sell your technology." It’s a pleasure for others.”
The factory director wiped away tears: "I want to, too. Do you want it? How about you go ahead and buy a few ships?"
Ji Qingtao snorted: "I don't want it. Greece bought a Mustang hovercraft from you last year. It is difficult to maintain and replace parts. It is useless at all. According to the Chinese, do you know what this kind of thing is called? It's called tasteless. It’s useless to hold it, but it’s a pity to throw it away. I don’t even want to give it away for free.”
