Chapter 523: Whose fish are you going to catch in the long run?

Walking on the rusty ship, the expressions of the dignitaries who accompanied them to inspect the ship looked somewhat unnatural. Because the shutdown time was a bit long and it was not properly managed, rust can be seen everywhere on the large deck.

Even the conning tower on the deck has a lot of rust visible on the outside. Seeing Mu Shanhe's somewhat gloomy expression, all the dignitaries knew that the appearance was somewhat poor, and they would have had someone polish and repair it in advance.

Even if it looks brighter on the outside, it would be better than letting Mu Shanhe directly see the ship in such a miserable state!

"Mr. Wu, why don't we go take a look at the cabin below? It's still well maintained inside."

"Okay, let's go take a look! In addition to the cabin, show me the engine equipment later!"

Mu Shanhe did not refuse such an invitation, but instead proposed to take a look at the core engine equipment of the ship. If these devices are useless, then there is really no need to buy such a big ship.

As for the external problems of the big ship, Mu Shanhe didn't think there was any problem. When this big ship was transported back to China in the previous life, it looked much uglier than it does now. Those things like rust just need to be re-polished and maintained.

After entering the cabin, the smell of machinery and oil hit my face. Many dignitaries couldn't help but frown, but fortunately Mu Shanhe could still bear it. He knocked on the steel doors of those cabins from time to time, as if he was checking the quality of these cabins.

Coming to the engine room at the core of the ship and looking at the installed engine, Mu Shanhe took a closer look and found nothing wrong with it, but he still asked: "Are you sure this engine can be used normally?"

"Yes! If Mr. Wu doesn't believe it, give us two to three days, and we will do some maintenance for you to make sure it looks bright. In fact, this aircraft carrier only lacks later weapons mounts."

"I have no interest in weapons! However, if cooperation can be achieved, I will purchase a few water gunships from your country. If there are such things, it should be more appropriate to pick up people and provide defense and protection. "

"That's no problem! Our water helicopter is still very advanced."

The general accompanying the inspection quickly answered with a smile. For those powerful people, they naturally don't care about a few water gunships. Compared to this big ship, how much are a few small toys worth?

Just when the leading general was about to lead Mu Shanhe to the command tower, Mu Shanhe shook his head and said: "That's not necessary. I've already seen the general situation. This ship looks very shabby on the outside, but it's well preserved inside.

But when it comes to purchasing, we have to wait until a successful trial. And for me, I have to contact and negotiate with the company’s shareholders. It is impossible to finalize such cooperation directly, and I hope you understand this. "

"This is natural! We just hope that there will be an opportunity to cooperate."

Taking the opportunity to inspect this large ship, Mu Shanhe pointed to several ships at Bokou Pier and said, "Are these ships also built by the shipyard? But why do I feel that these ships are all old ships?"

"They are all old! There are some ships in the fleet, and they go back to the dock for maintenance from time to time. Mr. Wu, are you interested in this?"

"I have no interest in this! Buy a big ship to build a gambling ship, and it will not attract attention when sailing to the high seas. If it is a warship, it must be too sensitive. However, I have channels and should be able to find some customers, and they should be able to need.

If you want to build a large ship casino at sea, you must have a good relationship with all aspects, especially the navies of neighboring countries. If your old boats are not expensive, I can help you sell them. "

"Really? If Mr. Wu is interested, then we can talk about this." "Forget it! When I come here this time, I mainly want to see the big ships, not these old ships. If we can reach a cooperation, I can help you sell some It’s an old ship, so I guess it’s not a big problem. Even if I want to sell it, I have to contact the buyer first.”

The accompanying generals and dignitaries were naturally very happy to see Mu Shanhe selling old warships that were ready for retirement. In their view, it is undoubtedly more profitable to sell it than to directly decommission it and store it.

Selling warships these days not only sells the hull of the warship, but also a series of benefits such as the weapons and ammunition carried by the warship, follow-up maintenance and so on. If it can really be promoted, it will undoubtedly relieve the burden of the Ermao Army and exchange for a lot of funds!

Declining the invitations from these dignitaries, Mu Shanhe directly took the people back to their temporary residence. And these powerful people began to look at Ukanov. They also know what happened in the villa before.

In fact, except for a few of the bodyguards around Ukanov who were familiar faces, the rest were all new faces. The previous installation of bugs was also done by Ermao, but Ukanov did not expose it!

Taking the opportunity, the general accompanying the inspection also asked Uka: "Uka, do you think this business can be negotiated?"

"I don't know the specifics. Wu is very shrewd in business, and he never does anything that is not beneficial. If you want to talk about cooperation with him, it is better to be sincere. Especially when it comes to price, you must not open it. too high.

But what I do know is that he likes to do business with people he knows. As long as the first cooperation is pleasant, subsequent cooperation will come one after another. These are my experiences, but you still need to make your own decision on how to talk about it. "

"Then do you think he is really capable of selling those old warships?"

"It should be possible! As far as I know, he has a wide range of contacts in Asia, and he also has official partners in the East. I even know that he has considerable power in the Middle East and Africa."

Listening to what Ukanov told about these situations, the leading general and a group of dignitaries also began to make their own little calculations. For them, they actually hope to do long-term business.

Because they all know that Ukanov's success in Dalmao Ermao is inseparable from Mu Shanhe's support. Today, Ermao has a lot of things that need to be cleared, including a large amount of second-hand equipment.

Although they can use official names to sell to some countries with backward military capabilities. But they know very well that this kind of sales behavior is likely to arouse the dissatisfaction of Western powers.

If they could sell these things directly to Mu Shanhe, they would save a lot of trouble. If it doesn't work, it will be said to the outside world that it is selling scrap products. The old warships can be sold directly as scrap metal, and the weapons and other systems can be sold separately.

When various forces learned that Er Mao planned to sell the new ship that could not be rebuilt, it indeed attracted the attention of many people. But from the information they learned at the scene, they all knew that it was almost impossible to complete such a large ship that had not yet been built.

Furthermore, how many of the military powers in the world today can actually maintain an aircraft carrier fleet? Although it has attracted some attention, negotiations have not yet started, and many forces feel that there is no harm in waiting to see what happens!
