Xu Pin is about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old and looks smart and capable.
Wan Feng was naturally overjoyed at his appearance. With him around, he no longer had to use the Nanwan Group's name, otherwise he would have to register another company in another city.
Now you don’t even need to register a company.
After introducing themselves to each other, the two hands were tightly clasped together.
"Someone told me about Boss Wan's deeds. I didn't expect him to be so young. He is really young and promising."
"Boss Xu, thank you for your compliment. I'm just a bit lucky. Let's go! Let's find a place to talk."
Wan Feng brought Xu Pin to Han Guangjia Hotel and entertained Xu Pin and his assistant in his own room.
Three people, six dishes, three beers.
Xu Pin's assistant was very tactful and left after just drinking a glass of beer, leaving Wan Feng and Xu Pin to raise their glasses to Mingyue.
"Boss Wan, with all due respect, why do you want to buy this boat now? I just feel like the timing isn't very good."
"There are many reasons for this. Didn't the Han people buy the Minsk, which was scrapped by Russian screws? This gives us a clue. I think the opportunity is approaching."
In 1995, the Chinese bought the Minsk, an aircraft carrier of the Russian Pacific Fleet.
The Han people's purchase of this aircraft carrier was not as simple as dismantling the steel as later generations said.
As a country that came to Earth from an alien planet, their interstellar battleship was destroyed during the landing process. They were afraid that there was no hope of building an interstellar battleship, so they planned to build a water battleship to make up the number.
Of course, aircraft carriers are the best choice to make up the numbers.
But there are only a handful of countries in the world that can build modern aircraft carriers.
Although the United States has retired countless aircraft carriers, it never sells them to others, not even to its own minions.
The Americans’ thinking is actually very simple. Aircraft carriers are a symbol of strength. Every family of yours has an aircraft carrier. What’s so great about me, the boss? Will you still listen to me at that time?
Therefore, the United States would rather use its retired aircraft carriers as target ships and blow them up than sell them to others.
Since the Americans are not willing to sell it, the Koreans can only turn their attention to the Russians. Although the Minsk has been scrapped, for the Koreans who know nothing about aircraft carriers, understanding the structure of an aircraft carrier is also a valuable accumulation of experience.
This is the original intention of the Han country to buy this aircraft carrier, not to dismantle the steel.
But unfortunately, they bought the aircraft carrier, but before they could figure it out, the Asian financial crisis broke out.
Han Guo worked hard for decades, but overnight he was back to the time before liberation. At that time, all the white-collar workers had to set up stalls on the streets, and they were so poor that they had to beg for food. What was the point of researching aircraft carriers?
Not only could they not conduct research, they also had to sell the aircraft carrier to raise money to overcome the difficulties. At that time, for the Han Kingdom, several million Mi Yuan was still money.
As a result, this aircraft carrier was spotted by a Chinese company and moved to Shenzhen at the end of 1998.
"If the Han people can buy it, we may not be able to. They and the United States are on the same page, and the United States will not stop us."
Wan Feng nodded. "I know we're going to have some problems over the next two years. I think the world's attention will be focused on Northeast Asia. The aftermath might spread into the first half of 1997, and the return of Xianggang in the second half of 1997 will draw another wave of attention. I want to take advantage of this time when no one is paying attention to buy this ship and get it across the Prussian Channel. As long as we get through this channel, everything will be fine."
Xu Pin was silent for a long time, carefully thinking over Wan Feng's words.
"That makes sense. No wonder Boss Wan has grown his business so big. Your thinking is no longer ordinary; you possess a strategic vision. But there's one thing I don't understand. Why is everything going to be alright once we've crossed the Prussian Channel?"
From the Nikolayev Shipyard to our country's waters, this is the only key place. The Husky Country among dogs will not let us cross this strait easily.
In the previous life, this ship was delayed in this strait for two or three years.
Xu Pin didn't understand what the husky among dogs meant for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he smiled in relief: "Haha, your analogy is very appropriate. They are from NATO and it is reasonable for them to cause trouble for us."
"Brother Xu! I originally planned to start next year, but an idea just popped into my head. How about we start now?"
"Ah! Isn't it a bit hasty to start now?"
"No rush! The current situation is just right. I've been watching the news every day these days. I think there's something going on in the southeast corner. This will attract attention from all sides. Now is the right time for us to take action."
At the beginning of last month, a certain Denghui went to the United States to campaign for his election. He delivered a speech at a university in the United States, saying "What the people want is always in my heart." He also shouted that Green Island must break through its diplomatic isolation, revealing his divisive intentions.
Uncle Sam began looking for his next opponent after the collapse of the Soviet Union. He had to establish a threatening opponent for himself and his Western minions. If he did not demonstrate his strength frequently, how could those minions obey him?
Unfortunately, China has become the best target.
This is also the reason why Uncle Sam suddenly allowed a certain person to come to the United States to build momentum.
When China sees that you are trying to turn your elbow outward, it will naturally react.
So the crisis of 1996 occurred.
In fact, China had already started a series of exercises in July 1995, before the crisis broke out.
Wan Feng suddenly realized that this was actually the best opportunity. If everyone in the world paid attention to the crisis, he could do something without anyone noticing!
Of course, he couldn't tell anyone what happened. These things were top secret at the time, and if he told them, it might get him into trouble.
Therefore, he spoke more vaguely and used vague words such as "estimated" and "approximately".
Xu Pin nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense, it makes a lot of sense. I think it's feasible."
"And there's another thing. Ukraine is now eager to get rid of this aircraft carrier. After being fooled by Western countries, they now realize that this aircraft carrier can only be sold for scrap metal at best, and they are no longer harboring unrealistic fantasies."
The Ukrainian ship was deceived by Western countries two years ago. It was once priced at 2 billion euros, but in fact it was worth at most 20 million euros.
"Xiao Wan! Then how should we proceed?"
"I have detailed information on the Ukrainian government. Take it back and study it. Thirteen or fourteen of us, including myself, will be going there as a trade delegation. I'll be responsible for purchasing goods and crossing the strait. The rest of the national government involvement will be up to you to plan."
Xu Pin nodded: "Okay!"
