Chapter 522 The Rusty Ship (please recommend)

Looking at the behemoth parked in the shipyard, I was lucky enough to see its painted appearance in Mushanhe in my previous life, although I felt very excited. But when he stood at the port, his expression looked a little gloomy, and it was clear from a glance that he was unhappy.

Ukanov, who was accompanied by several other dignitaries and generals, also seemed a little embarrassed. Perhaps they knew in their hearts that such a useless ship that had been idle for several years seemed somewhat worthless.

But no matter how valuable it is, if Mu Shanhe is willing to buy it, he can still exchange it for some money. If it cannot be exchanged for materials, it will be considered waste and reused. So they hurriedly signaled Ukanov to come forward and put in a good word.

"Old friend, this ship does look a little dilapidated because it has been idle for several years. But compared to those aircraft carriers that have served, its power system and other systems are still much better. How about we get on the ship and take a look."

"Uka, since you know that we are old friends, you should know what the boat I bought this time is intended to be used for. Do you think such a boat is suitable? Even if you bring it back, you won't even know how to repair and modify it. How much does it cost.”

"Mr. Wu, if you need it, our shipyard can still help with repairs and even modifications."

A dignitary who heard this also stepped forward to explain. But Mu Shanhe didn't give the other party any face, and sneered directly: "If I guess correctly, if I need to modify it, the price will be more expensive than buying a boat, right?"

"Of course not! We can discuss the price."

"Although I don't know what reason you used to ask Uka to invite me from such a far away place. But I really didn't expect that the ship you showed me was a semi-finished ship, or one that had been idle for several years and was rusty. Boat.

What do you think is the use of buying such a ship that can successfully transport it even with power? Do you know that I bought this big ship with the intention of building an offshore casino? Safety and power must be guaranteed.

Perhaps I don’t need to say more, you should all know that in order to prepare for this project, we have prepared nearly 100 million in funds. But do you think I and my shareholders are fools? Spend money to buy a bunch of scrap metal and go back? "

Seeing that Mu Shanhe did not shy away, he pointed at the aircraft carrier that had not yet been outfitted and said that it was made of scrap metal. The expressions of several accompanying senior officials still seemed somewhat dissatisfied. But they knew that Mu Shanhe's words were not excessive.

Therefore, the aircraft carrier that has been parked at the port for several years now looks like a rag. In contrast, the scrapped aircraft carriers that Mao intends to sell are at least regularly maintained by soldiers and look more glamorous.

However, in view of the importance of the aircraft carrier, Damao proposed that if the He family wanted to purchase it, they would dismantle all valuable items on the aircraft carrier, retaining only the corresponding power system, and even cut some of them up for sale.

It was precisely because of the harsh requirements put forward by Damao that the purchasing team sent by Hejia never agreed to purchase. The reason is simple. They are also worried about safety issues when purchasing aircraft carriers like this.

Until one of the accompanying generals stepped forward at the right time and said: "Wu, I know your friend is currently negotiating with Damao about decommissioned aircraft carriers. But you should know that those aircraft carriers have been in service for a long time.

If you buy this boat mainly to build an offshore casino, then I think this boat is more in line with your needs. Although this ship is not completed, the power system it carries is more advanced than several of Da Mao's aircraft carriers.

The most important thing is that after you buy it back, you only need to find a strong shipyard and carry out corresponding interior decoration. I believe it will become the only giant in the world that can self-propelled aircraft carriers at sea. What do you think? Woolen cloth? "    During the previous introduction by Ukanov, Mu Shanhe also knew that the general in front of him was also a good friend of Soev in his early years. During this period, Ukanov was here in Ermao, and he also received his care and protection.

Perhaps it was the general's words that made Mu Shanhe feel that there was some truth in it. Seeing that his mood eased slightly, the people accompanying him breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, no one is buying this unfinished aircraft carrier at a discounted price!

Although many countries need to have their own aircraft carriers, those who want to own one know how much money it will cost to maintain such an aircraft carrier. With limited military spending, who dares to easily form an aircraft carrier formation?

Didn’t you see that Polar Bear, which just collapsed last year, and Da Mao, who inherited most of its legacy, have now begun to choose to retire or dismantle the aircraft carriers that were previously in service. In the final analysis, it is also because the top management of Da Mao knows that they cannot afford it!

"Is this ship's power system really functioning properly?"

"Yes! If you don't believe it, I can arrange a trial voyage, how about it?"

After hearing Mu Shanhe's inquiry, the general who spoke was unsure, but he still looked at the person in charge of the shipyard. Only after receiving a very positive reply from the other party did he dare to say such a thing.

But when Mu Shanhe heard the answer, he thought for a while and said, "Let's go take a look on the boat first. I'll think about it after the trial voyage!"

Seeing that Mu Shanhe did not turn around and leave, the other dignitaries accompanying him breathed a sigh of relief. Because they know that if the unfinished aircraft carrier cannot be sold and is sold as scrap metal, the price will be too cheap.

Nowadays, there are not many people in the country who can spend tens of millions to buy such a big thing. Furthermore, they learned from Ukanov that Mu Shanhe had a wide network of contacts in Asia and could help them find many buyers.

If this deal goes through, maybe Mu Shanhe can be arranged to help sell some of the old ships they plan to retire. In this way, we can at least exchange them for the foreign currency they urgently need!

As for the seller's exchange of money, it seems a bit wasteful. But given Ermao's current financial situation, if these possessions inherited from polar bears are not converted into money, they will become less valuable the longer they are stored.

During this period, both Da Mao and Er Mao were having a hard time. In order to relieve the financial pressure as soon as possible, each other was trying to find ways to clear their positions. While reducing expenses, you should also find ways to make more money.

If they have no money, how can they maintain the country's huge expenses?

Until now, perhaps they have truly realized the difficulties of being a leader. This is why they will find a way to get Mu Shanhe to invite Er Mao through Ukanov.

Because at the moment, the He family's purchasing team is basically staying with Da Mao, negotiating with Da Mao's officials about the purchase of decommissioned aircraft carriers. If Da Mao's people take the lead in this business, then who will they sell their unfinished ship to?

Rather than selling to other countries, Ermao felt that it might be more appropriate to sell to businessmen like Mu Shanhe. The most important thing is that they also want to expand economic and trade exchanges between the two parties through this kind of transaction.

Let more cheap and high-quality Asian products enter Ermao through Mushanhe trade channels. In this way, the domestic material shortage will be alleviated, and it will also bring additional income and benefits to these powerful people!
