Great warships

Chapter 358 One trick, eat all over the world
The money of the islanders is not earned for nothing!
Anyway, the other party just said that it is not bad for money.

Moriyama Noren frowned, the price doesn't matter, but the displacement is still too low, right?With this little displacement, if you go to Antarctica, won't it be overturned by a storm?

"Our shipyard is still producing catamaran missile boats. These technologies are similar. Therefore, our catamaran construction process also needs to be kept secret. If you order, we cannot send representatives to follow up. Please rest assured. Our Mingzhou Group is the strongest in the world in the construction of catamarans, and we guarantee the quality."

Not only is the price high, but the performance is low, but also, they are not allowed to send shipowner representatives to monitor the quality of the ship!
This condition is really too harsh!

Moriyama Noren frowned, and then sighed: "Boss Qin, I can't decide on your conditions personally, and I need to report to my superiors."

"Okay, Shenshan Savage, please tell your superior and ask him to understand our difficulties. Our conditions are all unavoidable. I also hope that you can give an affirmative answer. That, Xiao Wang, send a gift Send this guest away!"

A staff member named Xiao Wang came up immediately and sent Moriyama Yeren out.

The short figure stepped out of the tent, looked at the scene outside, and paused for a moment, obviously, he was still hesitating.

Just then, a voice came from inside.

When the two sides communicated just now, English was used, but now, it has been replaced with Chinese.

"President Qin, one ship is 5000 million, and ten ships is [-] million. This is a good deal. Why did you let him go?"

"What can we do? Who knows if the other party is setting up a trap? You don't even know how terrible those environmental protection organizations are. The one who came to challenge this morning was instigated by someone. Their island country was originally a big shipbuilding country, so they came to us to order The boat, nine times out of ten, is uneasy and well-intentioned."

Moriyama and Nohito are a little aggrieved, we really didn't set up a trap, but we just want to get a few fishery administration ships with advanced performance, do we need to be so wary?
"Now it seems that it's really a trick." Qin Tao said: "5000 million dollars, to the islanders, that's drizzle, and they don't want to spend such a small amount of money. Humph, if we come again next time, we will give it to him." The price has risen to 7000 million, whether you like it or not.”

"Boss Qin, if you really want to test them out, you should have quoted a price of [-] million US dollars at that time."

Moriyama Noren gasped.

The people inside obviously didn't know that he could understand Chinese, so they spoke recklessly. What should he do now?
Moriyama Nohito stomped his feet, then turned his head again.

"Sir, you?"

Xiao Wang didn't stop him, and Moriyama and Yeren had already re-entered the tent.

Both Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang were surprised.

"Mr. Shenshan Savage, why are you back?"

"Yes, I'm back again, Mr. Qin, I've made a decision. In order to show that we are really here to order the fishery administration boat, we agree to all the conditions you put forward, and we can sign the agreement now!"

"Really? Well, then our group will take a risk and take your order for ten fishery administration ships!"

After signing the agreement, the other party directly left a check deposit, and this business was done just like that.

This is the second time to see off guests, Qin Tao has been sent to the outside of the exhibition area, very polite.

After returning, Xu Zhengyang's face was full of excitement: "Boss Qin, you played Qunyinghui Jiang Gan in a trick, and you played it too neatly. The islanders really took the bait."

Who would agree to Qin Tao's conditions?So we have to find a way.

As soon as the other party walked out of the tent, Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang performed. The two sang and chorused, and they really fooled each other.

Of course, the more important thing is that the other party has a lot of money, so this little money can really be spent, and it is really reluctant to change to another buyer.

"It's just that, Mr. Qin, if they really bought our catamaran, what if they figured it out and built their own catamaran?"

Qin Tao smiled: "Well, I've thought about it a long time ago, let's do it together."

"Which two tubes?"

"On the one hand, it's just working hard on the design. This kind of ship can only drive to forty knots. No matter how much the power of the engine is increased, the improvement is limited. Even if they use our ship to transform it into a warship, they will not really learn. Our trick."

When Mingzhou built a catamaran missile boat, some domestic brother factories wanted to imitate it. What happened?The speed did not meet the standard at all, and in the end he had to quit obediently.

Qin Tao wants to dig holes for others, isn't that easy?The catamaran does not seem to be difficult. In fact, the design of the submerged part of the two hulls is very critical. A little modification can make the other party suffer enough.

"What about the other side?"

"Let's tow. Anyway, the contract will be signed until the end of 95. We will tow ten fishery administration boats to hand over the work together. By then, they may not want them. If they don't want them, these fishery administration boats will be sold to us domestically at the cost price. department, let’s just earn the deposit from the islanders.”

95 years?The islanders are gone?

At this time, Xu Zhengyang, of course, would not understand, and Qin Tao didn't say too much. In short, 95 was recognized as the year when the island country's economic bubble burst.

(There are also sayings about 90, 91, and the decline in housing prices. The heroes of East China do not understand the economy. I saw some sayings that although housing prices have fallen, it only affects those who buy houses with loans. Those who did not buy and Housing ownership had little impact, and even when the bubble burst and house prices fell, they could still buy them at a cheaper price, which lasted until 95. Therefore, 90 was considered a real estate bubble, and it took five years before it affected the economy. .)
Of course, even if the so-called economic bubble bursts, the following ten or twenty years are called the lost years, but in fact, the manufacturing industry of the island country is still quite terrible.

Of course, no one will deny that the 80s is the era that islanders miss most, because that era was so wonderful, especially for young people.

Their employment competition pressure is not great; on the contrary, major companies are competing with each other in terms of salary and benefits, and the phenomenon of bonuses for several months or even half a year and one year for the previous month's shift often occurs. For ordinary people, of course, we must miss that It was an era when jobs were easy to find, money was easy to earn, and work pressure was low.

In short, after 95, the islanders can no longer spend too much money. Are they willing to pay the remaining balance and buy back the ten fishery administration ships?
Qin Tao felt that there was little hope.

At that time, it is estimated that they will choose various reasons not to pick up the ship. Anyway, the contract has been signed. It is okay not to ship at that time, but there is no way to get back the deposit!

The relevant departments of the island country and Mingzhou Group signed ten fishery administration ships. When the news came out, people were immediately moved.

Ten at a time, this is the first time at the defense exhibition!
In order to build momentum for the exhibition, the organizer of the defense exhibition made repeated broadcasts about this deal.

"Warm congratulations to Mingzhou Shipbuilding Group for obtaining an order for ten fishery administration ships from the island country, with a total value of [-] million US dollars! The success of this transaction fully reflects the charm of our Asia International Defense Exhibition!"

"Damn it, are those people from the island country crazy?" A group of people at the South Kimchi Country's booth gritted their teeth.

"That Qin Tao must have used shady means!"

"This kind of thing, the islanders can do it. When they went to the United States to buy a building, they asked for [-] million to buy a house. They gave an extra [-] million just to get a Guinness World Record. Those damn islanders have so much money. Not finished!"

People from other countries would not say that, but for them, it is logical to say that it is a blood feud with the island country.

Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group had a brilliant record on this day, so after the exhibition ended, they started shopping again just like yesterday.

Yesterday I went to No. [-] Hutong, and today I went straight to Alor Street.

No. [-] Hutong is mainly time-honored, while Alor Street is mainly a variety of special snacks. Although it is not high-end, it is more lively.

"Come on, come on, someone is robbing my bag!" Qin Tao and the others had just walked to a lively place when a voice came from ahead.

The crowd began to become chaotic, some people were pushed, some quickly avoided, a thief carrying a lady's purse was coming towards Qin Tao and the others!

"The fun has begun." Qin Tao said to Xu Zhengyang.

"Yeah, their director is too low." Xu Zhengyang is also very emotional. This kind of plot of heroes saving the beauty is sent to President Qin just to create chance encounters. However, there are too many accidental encounters. what!

"It's not easy for him, let's cooperate." Qin Tao stretched out his legs as he said, so the thief was tripped.

It's that simple, after all, the other party ran to Qin Tao on his own initiative.

Behind, a female reporter in professional attire appeared. She ran to Qin Tao out of breath, looked at the leather bag in Qin Tao's hand, and smiled on her face: "This world is really too small. .”

"Yes. We have met five or six times in the past two days, and you have helped me several times. Now, we are evened?"

"It's really fate. Let's speak Chinese. My name is Ye Xiaoqian, a reporter from Ming Pao." As he spoke, the other party held out his hand.

"Nie Xiaoqian?"

"Ye, it's not Nie. I'm not Nie Xiaoqian."

Qin Tao smiled: "I'm not Ning Caichen either. If I had to choose a role, I would prefer to be Yan Chixia."

Ye Xiaoqian laughed: "Boss Qin, your words are really humorous. Since you are here, would you like to come and sit with me? I have been living nearby since I came here for interviews."

"Forget it, we just went out to eat, go shopping, and then went back."

"Oh. Then I treat you to dinner?"

"of course not."

"why?"

"Please eat, of course it is the responsibility of a man, let me treat you."

Qin Tao is picking up girls, and the people around are busy, and the dots will soon be connected into a line.

"Miss Ye, have you seen Senior Jin in Ming Pao? I admire him very much." Qin Tao and Ye Xiaoqian chatted while eating.

Whether in this life or in the previous life, Qin Tao always liked Senior Jin, the No. 1 martial arts novel in the world today!I like the novels written by this person the most.

As for the origin of Ming Pao, Qin Tao also knows about it.

In 1959, Cha Liangyong contributed 8 yuan and Shen Baoxin contributed 2 yuan to co-found Ming Pao, which published one page a day.Jin Lao served as editor-in-chief and president of the newspaper.

Although everyone wants to make Ming Pao the best Chinese newspaper in the world, Ming Pao has been operating at a loss in the first year of its publication. For the development of Ming Pao, Mr. Jin began to serialize martial arts novels on it. "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is the first serial.

Stimulated by martial arts novels, Ming Pao's sales are getting better and better.

"No, I joined Ming Pao two years ago after graduating from university. At that time, Mr. Jin had resigned from Ming Pao." Ye Xiaoqian said: "After that, Ming Pao will also dabble in more aspects, such as this defense exhibition, In the past, Ming Pao was not interested."

When Ming Pao entered its heyday, Mr. Jin retired bravely, transferred Ming Pao to someone else, and lived his retired life in style.

This is a free and easy old man.

Qin Tao shook his head: "It's really a pity that you haven't met Pu Songling, but you haven't even met Jin Lao."

Ye Xiaoqian couldn't help but laugh: "It's not Nie Xiaoqian."

"As far as Nie Xiaoqian is concerned, the image created by Wang Zuxian is really good." Qin Tao said: "She really brought Nie Xiaoqian to life. By the way, have you seen Wang Zuxian?"

"Well, I've actually seen it. As a reporter, I interviewed her once."

Qin Tao and Ye Xiaoqian chattered about, but they didn't talk about work matters. Soon, the meal was over.

"Boss Qin, would you like to come and sit at my place?" Ye Xiaoqian's eyebrows were affectionate, and her eyes had already started to become hot.

"I don't want it for the time being. When I go back, I have to summarize today's work. As the boss, I can't be too indulgent."

"Not for now? Then, after the defense exhibition is over, are you free? I want to have an exclusive interview with you."

"Of course no problem." Qin Tao immediately nodded in agreement.

Ye Xiaoqian quickly took out her bag, and scribbled down her address and phone number on a note: "Mr. Qin, then you must come."

"no problem."

Under Ye Xiaoqian's gaze, Qin Tao left the food street.

"President Qin, let's find out those who are in charge of monitoring nearby, and the entire network behind them will be found out within a few days." Xu Zhengyang was very happy.

Two of them were also carrying cameras, and they were sneaky, obviously planning to secretly take pictures.

If Qin Tao is the kind of person who likes to steal, then the other party will take photos of Qin Tao and Ye Xiaoqian having a romantic relationship together, and then, either use the photos to threaten to extort Qin Tao's large sums of money, or directly expose them to let Qin Tao's reputation was ruined.

The latter is more likely. Once Qin Tao's reputation is damaged, he may not be able to continue to be the boss of Mingzhou Group.

Qin Tao smiled: "It's a pity that you want to use beauty tricks on me. I have a wife, otherwise I will use the tricks and let them beat me!"

Back at the residence, Qin Tao was surprised to find that not only the father-in-law was there, but also the heads of other companies and groups.

"Mr. Qin, today is finally your turn." Manager Zhang of the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation said: "Today, the most outstanding thing in the entire defense exhibition is your Mingzhou Group. We big guys are afraid that you will celebrate the victory and have a carnival to the end. It's midnight."

"Why, are you all waiting for me?"

"That's right, Mr. Qin, can you give us some advice, why can you have such a big harvest, but we can't?" Manager Wang of the North Industries Corporation also spoke.

"One trick, you can eat it all over the world." Qin Tao said: "If you want to sell your equipment, you must have special features. Today we sell all catamarans. Think about it. , why? Isn’t it because our Mingzhou Group’s catamarans are the most powerful in the world?”

Qin Tao was reborn, and he has advantages that others cannot compare to. Catamarans are the special equipment of their Mingzhou Group. The world knows that when it comes to catamarans, Mingzhou Group has the most products and the richest experience.

"That's right, it's a novelty, and it's eaten all over the world, but we don't have this novelty!" Others sighed.

This is easier said than done!
After all, the backwardness of domestic industrial development is the basic status quo.

"Then we have to work hard to make a breakthrough in a certain field." Qin Tao said: "Take our ground weapons as an example, we have many weaknesses, our armor is not thick enough, our engine is not stable enough, but , we can make our own firepower the strongest!"

Manager Wang's eyes lit up.

"The same is true for our Shipbuilding Industry Corporation. It seems that we are a little behind in all aspects, but we can make breakthroughs by relying on reliability and cost. The [-]-ton frigate of our brothers is taking this route. Our Mingzhou Group Focus on high-end, so that we can have our own different market segments.”

"Boss Qin, that's what you said. However, our flagship frigate still hasn't been sold. Customers all say they want a vertically launched air defense missile system." Manager Zhang felt a little emotional.

"It also depends on their pockets! They don't have big wallets, and they want this and that, isn't their request too much?" Qin Tao said dissatisfiedly: "I have a few catties, don't you know?"

The big guys were silent. Only Qin Tao dared to say such words, and the others certainly did not dare.

"In addition to frigates, we also have other types, such as missile boats, supply ships, etc. We are taking the low-end route, and there are always customers with deep pockets who will fall in love with them. By the way, you can set the price of your own warships." , make a big brand and put it directly on the model. Let potential customers have a more intuitive reflection."

Look at the car sellers of later generations, put the price brand on the top of the low-end car, just to attract people, thirty-nine thousand nine hundred and eighty, a car with four wheels drives home!

The crowd nodded.

When everyone went back to sleep, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Qin Tao yawned: "Oh, if we hold these meetings in the future, I have to be paid a consultant's salary. Dad, I'm going to bed."

"Why are you so anxious to sleep, you still have a lot of things to report!"

"What? Didn't Zhengyang give you a formal report?"

"A lot of things, I want to hear your opinion again."

"Ok."

When Qin Tao went to sleep, he found that the time was getting closer!This day's work is really too stressful.

On the second day, Qin Tao got up late, and when he arrived at the defense exhibition site, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

A few more people surrounded his booth. Qin Tao looked over curiously and found that the guy from yesterday had come again.

"Savage from the mountains, are you here again?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin, I'm really ashamed. Although I have been here, I haven't seen all these models of yours. I just found out today that you still have a model of a dredger."

No way, the large model of the frigate was so attractive that other small models were ignored.

On the booth of Mingzhou Group, the small models placed there were almost marginalized.

"Well, have you taken a fancy to our dredger?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin, what is the displacement of this dredger and what is the dredging effect?"

"The displacement is [-] tons, and the dredging efficiency is [-] cubic meters per hour. Isn't the specific data marked on it?"

"So, do you have a more advanced model?"

"what happened?"

"I heard that your shipyard is starting to build a super-large dredger, which is ten times more efficient than this one?"

"Who said that?"

The other party didn't speak, just laughed there: "If you have a dredger of this level, can you build one for us?"

"we do not have."

Qin Tao answered directly.

After returning, it seems that we must pay attention to confidentiality education.

Workers who build warships can keep their mouths shut, but civilian ships are different. Of course, the dredger belongs to civilian ships. Unexpectedly, the news was spread and reached the ears of these people.

Moriyama Noren was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Xu Zhengyang came over: "Mr. Qin, a customer came to inquire about the freight of our An-225 transport aircraft."

"Okay, I'll go there right away. Mr. Shenshan Savage, you can do what you want."

After entering the tent, several Western faces were already waiting there.

"Mr. Qin, our company has a large piece of equipment that urgently needs to be delivered to the customer as soon as possible. The specific route is from the United States to Australia. We hope to rent An-225 to complete this cargo transportation."

"The size of your equipment? Weight?"

Hearing the other party's description, Qin Tao nodded: "It can be stuffed into our cargo box, and we can undertake this cargo transportation task. The specific cost is 12 US dollars per flight hour."

$12 an hour?
Everyone present was a little surprised.

If you calculate it, it will take more than 30 hours to travel, and the freight for this trip will cost 400 million?

"President Qin, isn't the price a bit high?"

"Compared with other commercial transport aircraft, its price is indeed high, but there is no way. You should know that this aircraft was originally a military transport aircraft. When it was designed, fuel consumption was never considered. Every flight it takes It needs to consume 22 tons of fuel per hour, which is three times that of the Boeing 747, plus other consumption, its cost per flight hour is as high as 12 U.S. dollars, and we will quote you [-] U.S. dollars, which is already a friendly price."

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao smiled: "So, if you have other transportation methods, I suggest choosing other transportation methods. I think it is too expensive to use."

Have it?Of course not!

Although the freight rate of An-225 is high, it can transport many materials that cannot be transported. It is time-sensitive and heavy, and it is none other than him.

One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky!
