Chapter 1490: Big Auction (6)

The most likely conclusion is that the people in this organization want to get this ship and find a way to complete it to have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!
Although there are many problems that need to be solved in order to achieve their goals, they are very complex, but since they have this idea, they must have also planned and have a practical plan of action to implement this plan, and then think of the organization under the control That amazing wealth, this thing is not impossible!
How can this be?
On the ocean on this blue star, only Americans are qualified to ride freely. This cannot be changed!
Must find a way to prevent that Xu Zhengping from acquiring this ship!
Dealing with "Backfire" and "Varyag" again might not make sense. After all, at the beginning of the auction, the "Ulyanovsk" was already defined as a "hulk" only for dismantling. Its current state is basically an unfinished hull with no nuclear power pack installed. The best way is to buy it from a controlled company and put it in the hands of the Americans.
So who will do this?
The CIA immediately called up the list of companies with American backgrounds who signed up for this auction. They soon discovered that one of the companies in the list seemed particularly suitable.
The operator of Henry Rebirth Assets Processing Company, the old Henry was actually at this auction, and he just raised a placard to bid on this ship!
The background information about this "Henry Recycling Assets Processing Company" was quickly sorted out. The CIA found that this was actually an acquaintance—not only was it the largest scrap metal processing company in New York State, it was still in that year. In the "Persian Gate" incident that caused an uproar, he played a very important role in helping MacDonald. It was this company that Douglas and Grumman smuggled key parts and components to Moqige, but later there was really no evidence that Old Henry knew about it, so he hastily convicted the person concerned, Old Henry, of smuggling, with a penalty point. Let the money go.
Although the people are released, no matter whether it is the FBI or the CIA, the background of this old guy is by no means that simple. He must be a very important member of the underground society in New York.
That's him!
Isn't the underground society the best candidate for rejection? No matter how the matter ends up, it can be operated so that it has nothing to do with the great, bright, and righteous Millican government.
Old Henry's cell phone rang, he answered, and then a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he raised the number plate in his hand to quote again.
8 million dollars!
Xu Zhengping swept over the corner of his eyes, saw his opponent clearly, then turned back without any expression, and raised the number plate in his hand to bid.
9 million dollars!
At this price, those who really want to buy this ship as scrap steel have been completely ruled out. US$9 million is equivalent to a price of US$300 per ton of ship steel, which has exceeded the normal international market price. One part, and because this is a ship, it needs to be dismantled and transported before it is put into the steelmaking furnace. These are all costs, so this business has obviously reached the loss line. .
There is no fool who is qualified to sit in this room and participate in the auction? Everyone knows that there must be something tricky, and the two people who are watching the bid are a yellow-skinned Chinese and the other is a white-skinned American. The truth is so obvious.
The vast majority of people have started to watch the theater, but we have to see who can win the final victory — well, with the intervention of the Americans, I am afraid there will be no accidents in the final result. Everyone is actually interested in the Americans. What a price to pay.
The price is not too high, but it is never cheap. In the end, "Henry Recycling Assets Processing Company" got the ship at a price of US$13.5 million, which is equivalent to US$450 per ton, which is more than double the normal price in the international market. many.
Everyone looked at the middle-aged Chinese man who was holding a placard on behalf of "Omen Chuanglu Travel and Entertainment Co., Ltd." and found that his face was full of regret and unwillingness, and not only he was like this, sitting a little farther away. The representatives of the North Industries Import and Export Corporation also showed the same expression.
At this point, there is no doubt in everyone's mind-this so-called "Omen Chuanglu Travel and Entertainment Co., Ltd." is another official Chinese vest, and their goal is to photograph the "Ulyanovsk" under construction. ", and then find a way to finish it to get a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!
Regardless of China's current capabilities, it is impossible to complete the follow-up construction of such a large ship on its own. In short, today's bid shows that China is preparing to do something to safeguard its ocean-going interests!
But it's a pity that this ship was cut off by the Americans, and China's efforts to go to the ocean finally fell short.
With mixed feelings, everyone watched the American waste material recycling merchant Old Henry triumphantly stepped onto the stage and signed the document symbolizing the bid for the ship. The fat old man also announced on the spot that he would immediately start with the Nikolayev Black Sea Shipyard. Negotiations on shipbreaking business-it is obvious that the Americans intend to dismantle it on the spot to eliminate this huge ship that has not yet been born but is capable of confronting the U.S. Navy over the ocean to completely eliminate hidden dangers.
What everyone doesn’t know is that at the same time the auction was going on, two men in suits and leather shoes came to Nikolaev, walked into the gate of the Black Sea Shipyard and sat in Makarov. Opposite.
They claim to be from a shipping company in Norway. They heard that the Black Sea Shipyard builds large ships quickly and cheaply, so they came here. They also brought a large purchase order to build a full 6 200,000-ton ore carrier VLOC!
For the Black Sea Shipyard at this time, let alone build 6 large ships, even if it is an order for a 10,000-ton boat, it has to be rushed. Next, the shipyard is really in need of funds, as the director of Makaro The husband thinks all day about how to enable the more than 20,000 employees in the factory to get some wages to support their families.
The price is a bit low, and the other party only needs to build 6 hulls. The power system and navigation equipment are all provided by the other party. The Norwegian's explanation is that these ships must meet the standards of Lloyd’s Register of Shipping. , So all Western equipment is used. The Black Sea Shipyard lacks experience and necessary technical system support for this, and the ship for this order has to be more urgent, so this is the case this time, and we will wait for the next batch of orders. Consider other options.
Makarov accepted this explanation. The two parties quickly reached an agreement on the main issues and initialed a contract of intent. The other party even generously paid a deposit of US$100,000 in advance to express that he would never regret it.
There is not much money, but the trust is real, which makes people feel moved.
Makarov also readily agreed to the other party’s request to vacate ship berth 0 as soon as possible and said that since the order is so urgent, the Black Sea Shipyard will definitely cooperate with it. The 200,000-ton ship can only be sold at the Black Sea Shipyard. The shipyard was built, and there is still an unfinished ship lying in it, but it’s okay, the ship is impossible to complete. As long as there is no accident at the auction, the Black Sea Shipyard will immediately organize forces to carry out the ship During the demolition, the construction materials for the new ship were organized. It only took about a month to vacate the No. 0 dock, and the construction of the new ship was just in time, without any delay.
The customer was very satisfied, and the factory manager was also very satisfied with the unexpected order. Both parties shook hands cordially and bid farewell, just like a tacit partner who has cooperated for a long time in the business field.
However, after sending away the two Norwegian merchants, the smile on Makarov's face gradually cooled down, and at the same time a limping figure slowly walked into his office...
