Chapter 1489: Big Auction (5)

The starting price is 30 million US dollars, excluding the additional capital required to complete it.
The host confidently announced the low bidding price. According to the prediction of the popularity of the previous ship, he believes that there will definitely be another wave of competitive price increases.
However, the scene was silent, and there was no sign.
The situation in this cold field caught the organizers and auctioneers off guard. It was difficult for them to understand why the auction situation was so different for the same two large unfinished ships.
In fact, someone had reminded them a long time ago and asked them to lower their excessive expectations for this ship, because the aircraft carrier is very different from other warships.
You can use other warships once you have built them. As long as you have a certain size of the navy, you don’t have to worry about the commander and sailor who operate the ship. You can pass basic adaptability training.
What about the aircraft carrier? Its main combat capability comes from the carrier-based aircraft equipped on it, so before you get this ship, you must first think about where you can get a sufficient number of carrier-based aircraft!
Carrier-based aircraft, this thing is much scarcer than ordinary fighter jets, and there are only a few countries in the world that can make them. Are you sure you can buy them? Even if it can be bought, how much will it cost? The aircraft carrier is given away for nothing. According to the current market conditions, even the cheapest jet carrier-based aircraft starts at 20 million U.S. dollars. Even if you are dissatisfied with the arrangement, you have to get at least 12 in a brigade, right? That's 240 million US dollars!
And even if not many people have really played it, but they have always heard of it. Aircraft carriers are the most expensive ships in the entire Navy. The ships are large and the fuel consumption is high. I won’t mention it. Those carrier-based aircrafts fly up and down casually, which is like white silver and flowing water. You can’t fly if you don’t fly, because takeoff and landing on aircraft carriers is a subject with very high technical requirements. In order to maintain it, it is difficult to cultivate You still have to let them fly frequently because of the status of the aircraft carrier pilots. This is all money!
So, to be able to play and dare to play aircraft carriers, it must be a country with sufficient economic strength.
There is a negative example of the current achievement that everyone knows: Argentina back then, after seeing her neighbor Basie bought a second-hand aircraft carrier, she felt that she could not be worse, taking advantage of the outdated aircraft carrier of the European powers after World War II. The time for the sale also took a three-handed British "Giant" class aircraft carrier back to play, and also paid a large price to equip the "Super Army Flag" carrier aircraft from Gaul. What happened? As a result, the British navy was so scared that it would not even dare to go out of the harbor during the Falklands War!
This year, I heard that the ship will be modernized and refitted, and some of the ship’s equipment has already been dismantled. However, everyone is not optimistic about the future of the ship. Some people even bet that modernization and refitting will be a cover. Maybe it’s dismantled and dismantled, so the ship will be completely dismantled...
Well, history will prove that this is a divine prophecy.
Besides, this "Varyag" is also too big, with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons. For most countries, it is really over-functional. Even regional powers like Bassi are also used. Small aircraft carriers that are less than 10,000 tons, and the game is not very good, other countries have to weigh their own weight.
No one bids, this kind of scene is really embarrassing, but fortunately, someone soon came to the rescue-just like what happened during the auction "Backfire" just now, someone rushed into the scene and handed a note. It was given to the auctioneer, and after reading the content on this note, the auctioneer seemed to be greatly relieved.
He immediately announced the contents of the note to the people present: It was also after the negotiation of the three countries of the United States, Rakshasa and Uklan that they decided to require the buyer of the "Varyag" to promise not to engage in military use. The column will dismantle all the weapons and equipment that have been installed on the ship-saying that this is a serious aircraft carrier, what on the ship is not prepared for battle? What can be left on this ship after they are all taken apart? I am afraid that the buyer will only get an empty hull plus a power system.
This was another unexpected event, and the auctioneer immediately decided to temporarily withdraw the "Varyag" and stated that the ship needs to be re-evaluated according to the latest situation before the auction.
After announcing the decision, the auctioneer patted his chest secretly with lingering fears-fortunately, no one made a bid just now, or he had to be scolded to death.
The "Varyag" needs to temporarily modify the auction conditions, but the scene cannot be cold, so an image of a larger ship than the "Varyag" appeared on the projection, but the picture is obviously a composite The rendering of, and the screen immediately switched to a construction site in the huge dry dock, and the "Ulyanovsk" appeared earlier than originally planned.
Speaking of this boat, the organizing committee originally formulated two auction plans for it. The first choice was to use it as a boat to shoot and see if you could catch a good guy... ahem, if it fails, then Just switch to the second plan and shoot as scrap.
It now seems that even the "Varyag" may be reduced to scrap, let alone the "Ulyanovsk", and it has been implemented honestly in accordance with the plan for disposing of scrap.
According to the information provided by the Black Sea Shipyard, the completed part of the "Ulyanovsk" in the dock is about 30,000 tons. With reference to the scrap steel market in the international market, the starting bid will start at US$100 per ton. The asking price—that is, the whole boat starts at $3 million.
This is really a figure!
US$3 million, 3.5 million, 4 million... Soon, someone discovered that something was wrong, because there was a Huaxia guy who did not seem to belong to the official Huaxia delegation was making constant bids. Soon, he bid for the offer for this ship. It exceeded 7 million US dollars!
What a joke, the highest transaction price of scrap ships in the international shipbreaking market this year is only US$200/ton. That is to say, this ship is worth 6 million US dollars at most, so he bid such a high price. For what?
Someone does the decapitating business, and no one does the loss-making business. This is the truth in the market. Countless people are secretly trying to figure out the identity of this Chinese, and some people have already labeled him.
Because they recognized who this person is.
Xu Zhengping is seriously suspected of being with Eric. Tan belonged to the same organization and was the one who took over part of the task after Tan Zhenhua was stranded in the United States for some reason.
What does he want to do when bidding for an unfinished nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?
