Vol 5 Chapter 154: aircraft carrier

"I am Sun Hongbing, deputy general manager of China Investment Management Co., Ltd., and I came here at the invitation of President Tang. This is my certificate."
The guard at the door did not have the square shape of Sun Hongbing's remarks. After carefully checking his credentials, a guard walked into the room behind to report back and received a definite answer before handing the credentials to Sun Hongbing and letting him go.
Taking back his ID and putting it in his pocket, Sun Hongbing took a big step, but at the moment he pushed them away, an excitement surged in his heart that he had never experienced in the financial market.
It was still the familiar principal's office, simple and spotless, with a bookcase, an office desk, and a coffee table, nothing else.
After a long time no see, Tang Jiefang's spirit looks very good, his hair standing upright is still so stiff, but if you look closely, you can vaguely find that the sideburns seem to have licked a few strands of snow again.
Surrounding the quaint coffee table, Tang Jiefang was making tea for the three of them.
Among them was Sun Hongbing's immediate boss, Sun Liancheng, who was wearing a suit, but Sun Hongbing had never seen him.
One person is about 30 years old, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, the whole popular Yuxuan, the heroic spirit can be seen between the eyebrows, and the other person, a work clothes, looks very abrupt on this occasion, but it seems that the three present are right. He was extremely polite.
"Red Soldier, come and sit down."
As Sun Hongbing arrived, Sun Liancheng smiled and greeted him.
However, how can Sun Hongbing dare to sit directly? He is not an EQ low-powered person, so he can't guess the importance of this meeting.
"Principal. You are in good health."
After hurriedly greeted Tang Jiefang first, Sun Hongbing smiled, butt on the chair.
Tang Jiefang, who was too lazy to look up, finally raised his head, but his eyes rolled up with a pair of eyes that could see through the world.
"Red soldier. Why do you have the same virtue as your teacher, just such a sly grin, you all learned a lot."
"Principal Tang. How did I hear that Teacher Xiao Shen should ask you to teach Master?"
"Director Sun, you are not afraid of President Tang blasting you out when you say this?"
"Haha—"
"..."
The roar of laughter made the atmosphere look very hot. As the host and connected with all parties, Tang Jiefang got up and introduced everyone.
"This is Chief Shen Zhishen from the Imperial Capital."
"Director Shen, hello."
"Hello. Director Sun, I knew your name before you came. If it weren't for your bureau, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the opportunity to come from the Imperial Capital on a business trip. Haha—"
"Thanks to our little grandson. Come on, Xiao Sun, say hello to Chief Shen."
"Hello, Chief Shen, this is Sun Hongbing."
"You are young. It's not the minister who called the names personally. I can't believe that I can more than 20 million U.S. dollars from the British and do a good job."
"Director Shen won the prize. It's all luck."
"..."
"This is the Chief Engineer Wang of the General Assembly, and also my old friend. Pharaoh, you can tell them more about the matter this time."
The engineer surnamed Wang didn't seem to understand the politeness, even the smile on his face was a little stiff. He took Tang Jiefang's words and directly mentioned the topic this time without saying anything in the opening remarks.
"There is news from the north that the Black Sea Shipyard is preparing to sell an aircraft carrier with a degree of completion of 70%... I think everyone sitting here knows that if this Soviet-made aircraft carrier can be taken, it will be important to our navy. What kind of development will it bring."
"Aircraft carrier? How dare they sell this kind of big guy? It's already 70% built, so why not just finish it?"
"This is probably related to Ukraine's current economy. With the collapse of the ruble, Ukraine is now financially unable to support the continued construction of the aircraft carrier. After a long time, it can only become scrap iron. It is better to sell it, and it can also recover some of the losses. ."
"..."
As he spoke, Chief Engineer Wang's eyes gradually became eager, and his eyes looked at Sun Hongbing, just like looking at an old hen who can lay eggs.
"Chief Shen said that your China Overseas Investment Corporation has recently made a lot of money in the international financial market. I just hope that you can help buy this aircraft carrier. I can guarantee that as long as we can get this aircraft carrier, in the next 20 years, During the year, our General Assembly Design Department will definitely build our own aircraft carrier for the country."
"..."
Sun Liancheng and Sun Hongbing looked at each other, which was embarrassing.
Making money is indeed making money.
In the short position on the pound sterling, as the pound plummeted, China Overseas Investment Management Corporation made more than 20 million U.S. dollars. However, as soon as the money entered the country, it was taken away by the city, and it was not in the hands of Sun Liancheng or Sun Hongbing at all.
"Director Shen, Manager Wang. This is not because we don’t want to help. You guys came a little late this time. Two days ago, Hubei Heavy Machinery and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries signed a purchase contract and bought six. Taiwan's high-precision production machinery and plasma cutting equipment from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, that money..."
"what!"
The smile on Engineer Wang's face disappeared, and his face paled and stood up from the chair.
"That money is gone?"
"Ok."
"Why aren't you late? That's an aircraft carrier. With this aircraft carrier, our defense at sea can be increased by at least ten times, ten times. Do you know what this means?"
"..."
Sun Liancheng and Sun Hongbing laughed bitterly.
The Americans relied on aircraft carriers and flaunted their might as patrolling territories in various sea areas. The Soviets relied on powerful sea areas, even if they were divided, they would also coerce European countries. If China had its own aircraft carrier, everyone knew that would mean what.
But... the domestic economy also needs to develop, and it also needs to learn Japan's advanced technology in smart processing. Besides, the orders have been signed and the payment has been transferred. It is too late to say anything.
"This... we didn't know before."
"Then what can we do now? Although the aircraft carrier is only 70% completed, the cost of building it is far more than that, and it means ten times, twenty times or even more to our country. Money can't be measured, what can I do..."
Chief Engineer Wang, who was about the same age as Tang Jiefang, looked like an old face. At this time, he was as bitter as bitter gourd.
When he returned to China after graduating from Soviet military manufacturing, he knew too well how the aircraft carrier of the Black Sea Shipyard meant the leading military manufacturing level, and if it could be transported back for research. The level of domestic military manufacturing can at least take a great step forward.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down, and even the host, Tang Jiefang, was as black as an iron pot by the unexpected result.
However, this result was unexpected. In recent years, the large-scale bankruptcy of domestic iron and steel enterprises and heavy industries has been largely due to technical backwardness, in addition to poor management. Major enterprises need foreign exchange to seek advanced technology from abroad. It is already an urgent matter. In other words, the whole country lacks foreign exchange, and more than 20 million US dollars is just a drop in the bucket.
"Pharaoh. Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I will think of a way."
"What can you do. That's twenty million dollars..."
"Don't worry about this, I said there is a way, there is a way."
"This one......"
Tang Jiefang regretted that his cowhide had been blown too much, but the manly man was so three-dimensional, how could the cowhide be recovered.
"This...I can't guarantee. But I will try my best. Please don't go back lately. Wait for me for a few days. You and I will give you news later."
"..."
London, England.
Following the investigation into the collapse of Sichel Industrial's stocks, one incident after another pointed to the shady scene of illegal cash out of major shareholders.
But at the same time, some investigators have received some news that, in addition to major shareholders using banks to reduce their holdings to cash out, and pass the risk to other shareholders, there are also capitals that use shady to make speculative and malicious profits.
"Mr. Shen. Did you attend the opening banquet of Nanbo Bank at the Grosvenor House Hotel the night before?"
"Is there something wrong."
"Some guests who participated in the banquet said that you said that you would be shorting the shares of Sechel Industrial Group that night.
"Mr. Investigator. I think you understand my profession. I am an investment businessman. I am not optimistic about the future development of Sechel Industrial Group. Can't I sell the stock?"
"I don't mean that. But we suspect that you are maliciously shorting the Sechel Industries Group."
"Mr. Investigator Ron, please allow me to interrupt."
A Chinese man with red lips and white teeth in a suit and leather shoes said, and passed the business card in his hand to the investigator who came to investigate the case of the Sechel Industrial Group.
"In the absence of clear evidence, you accused my client of maliciously shorting a listed company. Do I think that you brought the judgement of your supervisor in this case."
"I didn't mean it. I just..."
"Just what? My client is a legal businessman. He has a tax certificate for every transaction. Judging from the position settled by the client, he paid three hundred and two in the stock price of Sechel Industries Group. One hundred thousand pounds in taxes.
According to London financial income tax calculation, that is to say, his share of short positions is only more than 30 million pounds.
So, I would like to ask, how the market value of the previous Sichel Industries Group was as high as 26 billion pounds and the market share of more than 30 million pounds would affect such a large company.
Do you think he can blow a company down with his mouth?
Just like when someone says that someone will die when he is angry, will the person he scolds die? "
"......"
Birmingham, Sechel Industries Group.
David Sechel didn't listen to things in the office like he was crazy. He never dreamed that a word would wipe out everything he had.
"David. I'm sorry, but I have to tell you that in twenty-four hours, you must move out from here."
The words of Bahrain Bank President Sam Redmelin made David Sechel on the verge of going crazy completely. He rushed over and grabbed Redmelin by the neck, his head flushed and his eyes roared. Up.
"Damn it, you band of bandits. You bankers, it's all bandits, I curse you will go to hell, you make the devil in even more despicable and shameless."
"Mr. Sechel, you can scold me, but you insult our bank. Be careful I sue you for slandering?"
thump--
The hysterical David Sechel weakened his knees and knelt on the ground.
"Sam. Please, we are best friends. Can you let it go? I can promise you anything."
"David. I have tried my best. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I am really powerless. But there is one thing that you are not wrong. The bank is a robber. I hate myself."
"......"
A farce, with the arrival of the guards, scratched the stop symbol.
President David Sechel, who should have been aloof, was forced out of the group building by guards.
He looked at the group that originally belonged to him and became someone else's company in the blink of an eye, and he sat on the ground in a daze that he had never seen before.
"Hello, are you Mr. David Sechel?
I’m Beth Ron, an investigator of the Securities Investigation Commission. We have received a report that you were suspected of using securities loopholes to cash out, embezzlement, and illegal bribery when you were the president of Sechel Industries Group. Please follow us. Take a trip to be investigated. "
"......"
The sun, cast down from the sky, and the bright rays of light shining on people are particularly warm.
Outside the gate of the Economic and Financial Investigation Bureau, Shen Jiannan was sitting in the latest Rolls-Royce car, looking at David Sechel like a walking dead, with a trace of sympathy in his eyes~EbookFREE.me~this world Above, the so-called justice has always been so cheap, only whoever has the big fist has the final say.
Fortunately, my soft rice is beautiful enough.
Ding Ding Ding-
The satellite phone he carried with him rang, and Shen Jiannan pressed the soundproof switch in the car to connect the phone.
"Little Shen, this military training is about to end, why haven't you come back. Didn't you say you will come back to attend the opening ceremony?"
Tang Jiefang's voice came over from the phone, and the nagging voice warmed Shen Jiannan's cold heart. In this foreign country, he could hear familiar voices from thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help but think of it. The words the old man once said.
Turn back half a suspended job and stay paid. If you can't get around outside, get back early.
"Principal. I've been a little busy recently, isn't it late. How are you doing?"
"Cough cough cough-cough cough cough -"
A violent cough suddenly came, and a heart-piercing cough and breathless gasp made Shen Jiannan startled.
"Old man. Are you all right. What's wrong?"
"Cough cough cough-hey! It's not the money to make trouble. Our school expanded this year, the school renovation, the freshman allowance, and the teachers' salaries, I calculated at least 20 million US dollars.
You said that the country’s finances are tight, and I can’t go to school to ask for such a large sum of money, so I can’t die in a hurry. "
"..."
"I feel, if you continue to rush, I'm afraid it won't last long."
""
"Cough cough cough--"
""
"Old Tang, do you think I opened a bank or robbed a bank? It costs 20 million dollars to open your mouth, why don't you grab it?"
