Great warships

Chapter 194 Despicable and Shameless Means
When Zhao Ling and Jaina swam to the fifth lap, Racourt finally came back with excitement on his face.

"Qin, the navy agrees that your design is the most reasonable, the price is the most suitable, and the potential for future upgrades is large enough, so..."

When Lakour said this, he saw a trace of worry flashing across Qin Tao's face, and immediately became curious: "Qin, shouldn't you be happy?"

"I'm very worried." Qin Tao said: "During the bidding in the morning, the Spaniard's blueprint was almost the same as ours. The other party will probably do everything in order to win this bidding. Now, although we I have gained the upper hand, but the other party will still use various methods to pour dirty water on us, for some reason, I always have an ominous premonition in my heart."

Hearing what Qin Tao said, Lacourt also pondered for a while. Yes, what Qin Tao said is reasonable. Since the other party can steal the blueprint and then pour dirty water on Qin Tao and the others to try to get the order, Well, now that the order is about to fly, the other party will definitely come up with other ways to make trouble.

How to do?
Lacour rolled his eyes, and then picked up the phone.

"Immediately dispatch a group of people to keep an eye on the people of Bazin Company. If there is any situation, report it immediately. That's right, and monitor their phone calls."

"Honey, we've had enough swimming, do you want to eat something?" Zhao Ling came up and looked at Qin Tao with a smile.

"Okay, let's go back and change first, Mr. Lacour, see you in the restaurant in 10 minutes."

"Okay." Rakul nodded.

Listening to the pregnant Lacour, he brought Jaina back to the room. Twenty minutes, it was enough for him to make out with Jaina, but just after he closed the door and before he entered the foreplay, his phone rang It rang.

"What?" When he picked up the phone, Rakul's face immediately changed.

"They called AFP to expose the shady scene of our bidding? Damn it, where is the shady scene? It is obvious that their plan is not suitable!" Lacourt said: "Have you cut off the phone?"

After all, this is an international long-distance call, and they still have many ways to do it.

I was relieved to hear that the international calls were cut off from the time the shady revelations began, and the person in charge of monitoring responded.

Lacour stomped back and forth in the room, how could it be possible, how could the other party know that Zhao Ling bought a lot of things for Jaina?Send someone to follow?still…

Thinking of this, Rakul looked at Jaina's handbag, then quickly rushed over, unzipped the handbag, and poured out all the contents.

Whoa, whoa!
Jaina looked at Rakul's actions in a daze. Could it be that he was looking for a condom?Are you in such a hurry?
However, when Lacour picked up one of the buttons, he asked Jaina, "Is this button yours?"

Jaina shook her head.

"Damn it!" Lacourt picked up the nail clippers inside, clamped the button, and with a click, the button broke, revealing the wires inside.

This is actually a bug!

Who put it?
The answer is ready to come out!
Destroying the bug, Lacourt picked up the phone and quickly dialed a number.

"Your Excellency Naris, the Bazin Company used many disgraceful methods in this bidding. They set up bugs around me, and they also know some things about you. I hope you can find them out. Look around for bugs, yes, damn it, they want to bring this to AFP!"

"Yes, yes, this practice has severely disrupted our bidding order. I suggest that they be deported as spies immediately. We will never do business with them in the future!"

No one likes that when bidding, the bidding party tries to obtain useful information through this kind of conspiracy. When the bidding is about to fail, it even tries to give the bidding party and the winning party Splash dirty water.

This method is too despicable and shameless!

After the military boss Naris heard this, he was also completely furious, and dared to pour dirty water on himself, saying that he had charged a favor fee?

Thunder must be used to expel them!
Qin Tao and Zhao Ling sat in the dining room, waiting for Rakul and Jaina.

Qin Tao looked at his watch for the third time. He agreed on 10 minutes, and half an hour has passed.

"It seems that the durability of Lacour has increased." Qin Tao said with emotion.

"Persistence?"

"That's right." Qin Tao patted his palm: "Crack, crack, crack!"

Zhao Ling suddenly realized something, her face flushed slightly: "You, why are there always so many bad things in your mind?"

"Men are not bad, but women don't love them." Qin Tao said.

Zhao Ling gave Qin Tao a white look.

Just then, Jaina walked over alone.

"Qin, Zhao, I'm sorry, he has something to do and can't come here."

"Oh, then what do you want to eat? After eating, let Xiaoling go shopping with you?"

"No, I'm going to stay here obediently recently, and I can't go anywhere."

Zhao Ling was a little suspicious.

That night, a shocking piece of news was broadcast on the TV in the hotel.

"During the bidding of my country's aircraft carrier, in order to obtain the order, the personnel of a certain company used many shady means. They plagiarized the design proposals of other bidders, and even tried to slander the fairness of the entire bidding process. In view of this situation, our country It is decided to deport the company's bidders from the country, and will no longer accept any bids from the company in the future!"

Qin Tao and Zhao Ling couldn't understand the babbling Siamese. However, Zheng Ming and Liu Dawei were also sitting beside them. Zheng Ming translated it, and Zhao Ling showed a surprised expression.

"They really plagiarized our design, it's too much!"

Yang Dawei gave Zhao Ling a funny look, why, you still can't see, who is in charge of everything?
Yang Dawei thought of the scene of Zheng Ming poking his vocal cords with a pen during the day and making calls at the phone booth on the street.

Mr. Qin is really amazing!This is the end of the competition. Now, the bidding will be sure, and there will be no more variables.

Mr. Qin must have planned all this long ago!

With that similar design drawing, it will be difficult for the people of Bazin Company to argue with each other. The British at the bidding site will definitely make trouble. If they publicize this matter in Europe, Bazin Company will completely Become a clown.

My side, I don't know anything, my side is just bidding in a proper manner.

the next day.

"President Qin, after our careful consideration, your design plan best meets our needs. Now, I announce that your side will undertake the construction of our light aircraft carrier!"

"I am very glad that you can accept our design, and we will definitely go all out, even if it delays the domestic navy's project, we will build your light aircraft carrier on time!" Qin Tao said: "Now, we will Let's discuss the details."

After talking for two full days, Yang Dawei and Zheng Ming were both hoarse. Finally, a contract with a thickness of hundreds of pages was finalized.

"After half a month, our military will have a grand visit abroad. We hope that the official signing of this contract can be held in your capital." In the end, Naris spoke.

Although the contract has been fully finalized, the signing, Qin Tao, the boss of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, is still not enough.

You have to go to the capital of China, and you have to sign a guarantee with several big figures in the country, so that it is more secure.

"Of course no problem." Qin Tao was very natural.

What is the other party worried about?Is the warship delivered on schedule?Has your own navy also ordered one?Does Yak-141 have a play?These things, Qin Tao has already said hello, and those in the navy will not make things difficult for him.

After all, this matter is also beneficial to the navy. When its own side builds this aircraft carrier, the navy will definitely send more personnel to observe it.Even if it is just a light aircraft carrier, it has very important reference significance.

The Navy couldn't ask for more.

Walking out of the building and watching the sunset slowly, Qin Tao said: "The mission has been successfully completed. Since we are here, we must relax. Tomorrow, we will go to Phuket."

As a time traveler who came from later generations, Qin Tao does not have the spirit of his father. This is a generation gap. He will not be busy with work all the time. After the busy work is over, he also needs to relax.

The country of Siam in the 90s has vigorously developed its tourism industry. Phuket Island is the number one holy place for tourism in Siam, so of course you have to visit it.

Zheng Ming is a little embarrassed, is it appropriate for us to travel with public funds?Will I be punished if I go back?However, before Zheng Ming could say anything, Qin Tao's big brother rang.

"Hey, what? The Americans are here again?" Qin Tao was a little helpless: "Okay, then I will return tonight."

"American?" Zheng Ming was curious.

"It's probably because of the gantry crane." Yang Dawei said, "Boss Qin is cheating people... He really has a way of doing business with foreigners."

"Oh, really, when I get married and have my honeymoon in the future, I must turn off my big brother, and no one will find me." Qin Tao looked at the bricks in his hand, still annoyed that he didn't have a chance to go to Jeep Island for vacation .

Zhao Ling's face was a little red, of course she had already guessed what Qin Tao's real purpose was when he went there for vacation.

Mingzhou Shipyard.

Both Williams and Jims came. They sat in the open space of the shipyard, looking at the ships under construction in the distance and the berth under construction nearby, feeling uncomfortable.

"You two, why are you sitting here, don't you go in?" At this moment, a familiar and long-awaited voice came.

"President Qin, you are finally back." Williams said: "President Qin, I heard that you have completed the bidding for an aircraft carrier in Siam and won another big business worth hundreds of millions. Congratulations."

"Yeah, it's a big business worth hundreds of millions. However, what we want to build is an aircraft carrier. The cost of hundreds of millions is just hard-earned money. By the way, when do you plan to bring the gantry cranes to us? If we delay The consequences of building an aircraft carrier are not something you can afford."

"President Qin, we have already borrowed 500 million. Please continue to allocate funds to us. Otherwise, our project will have to stop. We have borrowed a lot of usury. Once the time is delayed, we will not even I can't afford to pay the interest!"

Jims was so nervous. Originally, he thought that with more than 100 million yuan, he could properly dismantle the gantry crane. Now? After the 200 million down payment was spent, he and Williams went around borrowing money. Back and forth, 500 million was put in. What happened?

It's still the last step, but if you want to borrow money again, there is nowhere.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, please allocate at least another 200 million to us so that we can dismantle the gantry crane." Williams said on the other side: "Otherwise, we can only file for bankruptcy, you guys The 200 million invested in will not be recovered.”

My 200 million is in vain, don’t feel bad, you all borrowed 500 million, even if you file for bankruptcy, you can’t be an old man, the rest of your life, tsk tsk, it’s hard.

Qin Tao looked at the two with great interest, originally planning to continue to delay, anyway, the other party has already played tricks.

"Boss Qin, I know you are going to build a light aircraft carrier, so we have some good things for you." It seemed that he knew that Qin Tao was not so easy to talk about, so Jims quickly added another sentence.

"Good thing? What good thing?" Qin Tao was a little curious.

Williams took out a metal-cased radio from his briefcase.

"Radio? Is this thing too outdated?"

Qin Tao is a little dissatisfied, you plan to use this thing to fool me?

Jims picked up the screwdriver, quickly unscrewed the top screw, opened the back cover, and then, he could see a rectangular thing inside.

"Is this... a hard drive?"

In 1956, IBM invented the world's first hard drive, the 350RAMAC.This hard drive has 50 24-inch platters with a capacity of only 5MB. It is as big as two refrigerators and weighs more than one ton.

By the 70s and 14s, [-]-inch hard drives began to be used in large numbers, and they were like a microwave oven.

Until 1973, IBM launched the "Winchester" hard drive: IBM 3340.This kind of hard disk is coated with magnetic material on the platter, and several platters are installed on the same shaft.This makes the volume of the hard disk decrease rapidly.

In the 80s, 5.25-inch hard drives were widely used, and 3.5-inch hard drives, which have been used in later generations, also began to appear gradually.

The hard drive in front of him was produced by the bankrupt JTS company in later generations. It is 5.25 inches and has a capacity of 800 megabytes. At this time, Qin Tao was also a little surprised when he saw this hard drive.

Are these two people going to be commercial spies?They really went all out. If they were discovered when they left the customs in the United States, the two of them would probably have to go in, and they might even eat peanuts.

However, the two are also smart enough to hide in the radio with a metal case, and they will not be found when passing through the security check.

What's in it?Qin Tao was very curious.

"The blueprint of the naval ship." Williams said, anyway, there will be no CIA or FBI personnel here, so he will not worry about being heard and causing trouble.

What is stored here is actually the blueprint of the U.S. Navy's sea-building ship?
Qin Tao was a little surprised. This kind of sea-building ship was completely abandoned by the Americans in the 80s. It was useless anyway, so it was used by other allies.

In fact, the design of warships is still very mature. After all, the Americans gave up building warships not because of this kind of warships, but because of carrier-based aircraft and political factors. The power is drawn out and blows downward through the louvers on the wings, which is quite tall. However, because of too much power loss, this kind of aircraft has been hung by ropes for experiments, and it cannot take off and land vertically at all.

Coupled with the opposition of arms dealers, this kind of sea control ship eventually disappeared.

Although Qin Tao designed the aircraft carrier based on his own experience, if it is optimized by matching the blueprints of these sea-making ships, the effect will be even better.

After all, this kind of design drawing is more mature.

However, although he knew these benefits in his heart, Qin Tao couldn't say them out. His face was full of dissatisfaction: "What? Shipbuilding? It is obviously something that your navy has eliminated, and now you still want to give it to us? You don't want to lead us astray, do you?"

The faces of Williams and Jims turned ugly for a moment. At first, they thought Qin Tao would be very pleasantly surprised. This thing is a big gift, a gift that is heavy enough for Qin Tao to give them a sum of money. What about now?Qin Tao is actually dissatisfied?
"Our design has already been optimized, so we don't need this thing at all," Qin Tao said.

The hearts of the two fell to the bottom, and the other party didn't like it?Will the other party continue to be stubborn?
"However, for the sake of your sincerity." Qin Tao changed his words: "I will reluctantly accept it. In terms of appropriation, I originally resolutely carried out according to our contract. Now, I can give you another appropriation. 100 million, nothing more."

100 million, 100 million is not enough!

Both Williams and Jims are very uncomfortable. They have calculated that they still need 200 million yuan. If the 100 million yuan is invested, will it be in vain?

"I heard that you borrowed a lot of money?"

"Yes, we are already heavily in debt." The two nodded quickly.

"In this case, you might as well talk to those creditors." Qin Tao said: "If the project fails now, those creditors will not get anything, and now it is the last time to tremble. I will give you 100 million, and you can go find it again." The creditor borrows some, and after the demolition, you will have money."

"Could you pay us more after it's taken down?"

"Of course not. I can only pay another 100 million. After shipping, I can continue to pay you 200 million. You have to work hard. I am here to cheer you on!"

Verbal cheering is of no use, what we need is money!
500 million foreign debts, when the project is over, their ending...

Both Williams and Jims were full of sadness.

half a month later.

Florida, on a certain river.

On the river more than 200 meters wide, the huge landscape on the horizon disappeared, and all of them became parts. More than 7000 tons of workpieces filled the entire river bank. At this time, sitting on one of the cut beams, Jims Looking at the river, tears streaming down my face.

"It's finally taken apart." Williams said from the side.

"Yeah, it was finally disassembled. We spent more than 800 million yuan to disassemble it. Fortunately, we have gained a lot of experience during the disassembly, so it will not be difficult to install. Huh Woo." Jims' words choked up.

"Yeah, it's finally taken apart," Williams murmured. "But our project is seriously over budget, and if we continue like this, we'll lose our pants, so we have to figure out a way."

"What way?" For some reason, Jims had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"All the debts belong to our heavy lifting company, so this company is going to go through the bankruptcy process. Of course, all the workers will continue to work. After all, they are still responsible for the installation. We can set up a new The hoisting company will be responsible.”

They borrowed 600 million yuan in debt. If they want to make money, they have to pay off the debt, so the heavy lifting company has to go bankrupt.

Bankrupt?

Jim immediately realized: "No, Williams, you can't do this. I will live in the shadow of debt collectors for the rest of my life!"

Although Williams helped him a lot, when he borrowed money, he borrowed money in the name of the heavy lifting company. Therefore, going through the bankruptcy process will not affect Williams, but it will affect Jims what!
"At the beginning, you said that 100 million yuan could be disassembled, but now the serious overspending is also your responsibility." Williams said: "If you can estimate that it will cost 800 million yuan to disassemble, then we will not sign the contract at all!"

"All of this is your responsibility!" Williams said loudly: "If it weren't for you, this would not be the case now, so, this responsibility must be carried by you!"

Jims was dumbfounded. Looking at the slowly flowing river, he suddenly felt that jumping into the river and drowning now seemed like a good idea.

"As long as we pay off this debt, our business will still be profitable." Williams did not completely kill his good friend, he continued: "At that time, we will still be profitable, Jims, I can give you A bank card in my name, you can live with this money, we have to do it, we have to do it.”

Woohoo!

Jims, a big man, fell into Williams' arms, crying loudly.

Miserable, really miserable, how could this happen?My baby is suffering!

Of course Jims would not know, and when he took on this responsibility, Williams immediately ruthlessly abandoned him.The profit is only a few million, how can it be distributed to Jims?

Everything is caused by Jims!
As the sun set in the west, the golden sunlight shone on the river, stretching the shadows of the two people very long, very long, and the rolling river was still flowing.
