Chapter 517 No Free Lunch

Li Jiacheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Tang Yu's words! Then he woke up. It turned out that Su Haiwen's biggest mistake was that he forgot or didn't care about his non-Chinese identity! Unexpectedly, at that ** moment, Xu Jiayao, president of Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhuashe, suggested that Xiangjiang should be leased for ten billion Hong Kong dollars for ten years, which touched the minds of those senior officials in the capital! So it is reasonable to be rejected, but it is a little too much to ask the bigwigs in the capital to deal with him. It's just because his anachronistic words are a little disgusted with him.

At this point, Li Jiacheng suddenly came to it! It turned out that the senior officials in the capital never paid attention to his Su Haiwen. Although he was a little disgusted at that time, it was later. No one will really care about anything with Su Haiwen. Those bigwigs in the capital still have it. It's just that Su Haiwen and Li Jiacheng are afraid of the British in Xiangjiang. You should know that the British have helped British enterprises survive to seize the market of Chinese capital in Xiangjiang over the years. The policy embarrassment, capital restrictions and even unwarranted charges are useless. Li Jiacheng, who has suffered a lot, is naturally frightened, and they are afraid that the senior officials in the capital will also do this. But after all, the senior officials in the capital are not the declining and lingering nobles like the British, and it is not time to protect their capital by any means. He didn't disdain to do this, so Su Haiwen was worried for nothing.

In fact, it's not a waste of worry. After all, if Su Haiwen has always maintained the image of being disgusted by the senior officials in the capital, he will inevitably suffer some embarrassment and rejections when he conducts business in the mainland. The mainland is a complete policy-based economy. If your enterprise is disgusted by the high-level of the capital, everyone has to consider the impact in the cooperation. In case the high-level officials are unhappy or feel that you are "offensive", you will have bad luck! Such examples have not been seen in the mainland. In later generations, some enterprises have been criticized for their investment in some fields because the objects of cooperation have violated some special "rules".

So Li Jiacheng said sincerely to Tang Yu, "I will tell Haiwen. Thank you very much for this! Without your help, I don't think things would have been so smooth. I believe Haiwen will remember your kindness. Tang Yu shook his head with a smile and whispered, "It's better to let Dr. Su Haiwen go back to the capital with me recently. After all, I still have to go back to the mainland to continue to explore the market share of Baijia. This opportunity also happened to meet Dr. Su Haiwen and the senior officials in the capital. After all, the relationship between the chief and Mr. Bao and Mr. Gang was also very good. I believe that if Dr. Su Haiwen wants to set up a ship shipping company with the mainland, then the senior executives in the capital also hope to see it.

Li Jiacheng couldn't help nodding when he heard the words and said slowly to Tang Yu, "I will talk about this matter with Haiwen, so when do you want to go there together?! What's the time?! I have to communicate with Haiwen about these. To be honest, Haiwen has been very nervous over the years. After all, the country is about to take back Xiangjiang now. He is really worried that it will affect global shipping. This is the company that Mr. Bao and Mr. Gangbao handed over to him! If there is any problem, how can he meet the old man who loves you in a hundred years?!"

Tang Yu nodded when he heard the words and said to Li Jiacheng, "Well, please tell Li Bo and Dr. Su Haiwen! If possible, arrange for us to meet as soon as possible! We will talk about the details in detail then! Now that I have decided to help, I have to finish it. Help others to the end!" In fact, Tang Yu still has a lot of words that he didn't make clear with Li Jiacheng. In his heart, he actually has his own ideas and ambitions to help Su Haiwen! This ambition is to find ways to steal the famous aircraft carriers of future generations - Minsk, Novorossiysk and Varyag from the dead Goryeo stick!!

The aircraft carrier Minsk (Minsk) was built by Nikolayev Shipyard. It is a "Kyef"-class medium aircraft carrier with a displacement of 42,000T and combines the functions of aircraft carrier and cruiser. Construction began on December 28, 1972, launched on September 30, 1975, and completed on September 27, 1978. It belongs to the Pacific Fleet.

In 1995, the most financially tight Russian Pacific Fleet made an amazing move - selling the two aircraft carriers Minsk and Novorossiysk, the largest aircraft in the fleet, as scrap iron to South Korea's Daewoo Heavy Industries Group at a cost of $13 million, while the service period of the two capital ships was not yet half! Of course, the premise of this transaction is that South Korea must dismantle them into steel plates of about 2 square meters and cannot be used for military purposes.

The aircraft carrier Minsk, the second Kiev-class medium aircraft carrier of the former Soviet Union, was commissioned in 1978 and transferred to the Pacific Fleet in 1979. At that time, the Minsk was quite beautiful. Its arrival made the former Soviet Union end its history of not having large capital ships in the Far East! In particular, the home port of the Minsk is located in Vladivostok, which is only more than 200 nautical miles away from Japan. In the 1980s of the Cold War, Japan was very close to the Minsk! This shows the deterrent power of this ship!

The aircraft carrier Minsk has a displacement of 40,500 tons, uses four steam turbines, a speed of 32 knots, a endurance of 4,000 to 13,500 nautical miles, and has more than 2,000 members. The ship carries 12 Jacques 38 vertical take-off and landing fighters and 19 Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopters. The former can seize local air control and can be equipped with AA-8, AS-17 and other air combat and ground/sea attack weapons. Its performance is comparable to what we often call the British Sea Hali aircraft; the latter is fully equipped to attack the U.S. nuclear submarines. To ensure the safety of aircraft carriers and fleets. Minsk is a distinctive aircraft carrier in the world, because it is half like an aircraft carrier and half like a cruiser. While the Western aircraft carrier desperately emptied the deck for the carrier aircraft, the Minsk occupied 40% of the deck space and installed weapons that should be equipped by other ships, such as SS-N-12 cruise missiles, SA-N-4 anti-aircraft missiles, SS-N-14 anti-submarine missiles, and double-mounted 76mm naval guns.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Minsk did not have a logistics base, because the Ukraine that produced it was independent, while the aircraft carrier was in the hands of Russia. It could be repaired, but if it was to give dollars, the Russian navy, which also could not open the pot, had to let it die.

On October 22, 1995, Minsk and Novorosysk were pulled out of the port of Vladivostok by several tugboats, and many Russian sailors shed sad tears. But in desperation, they don't even have their own affordable housing, so they can only watch this majestic warship leave their sight like scrap iron...

South Korea, defense departments and U.S. intelligence officials carefully analyzed its mystery. Although the Russian military dismantled or blew up weapons and electronic systems at the beginning of delivery, the remaining technical ideas still surprised both South Korea and the United States. Under the repeated urging of Russia, the Novorovsk aircraft carrier turned into scrap iron under the welding guns of the South Koreans; but South Korea tried to bring Minsk back to life and realize its "aircraft carrier dream" in advance. The weather is unpredictable. The 1997 Asian financial storm suddenly turned the four Asian dragons into four insects, and the Minsk suddenly became a burden. Later, when I heard that there was a company in the mainland that wanted to buy it, South Korea immediately agreed to buy it for $5.3 million.

In September 1998, the Minsk came to Sha Tin Port in the east of Guangdong after another voyage. In August 1999, it was towed to Wuyangcheng Wenchong Shipyard for closed large-scale renovation and transformation. During this period, although our military personnel entered the internal investigation, it is a pity that the warship has basically lost its value after the devastating demolition of the Soviet Union and the demolition of the South Koreans. Therefore, this prestigious warship can only turn into a scrap metal in a military theme park at the mouth of Pengcheng. However, the situation of its sister ship Novorasisk has been clear. It is said that the final outcome of the warship named after the only few heroic cities in the Soviet Union was tragically demolished by South Korea. It is completely used as a scrap iron return furnace.

The pride of the Soviet Union was trampled on the ground miserably! The efforts and struggles of generations have turned into sarcasm and sneering in those gray days. But Tang Yu didn't want to do anything too much for this declining country, and he couldn't do it. What he really wants to do is to poach all these warships, materials and personnel from Ukraine and Russia by some means! As long as we have this group of people, is there still a long way to go when we can have our own aircraft carrier?! In later generations, we have suffered countless criticisms for the introduction of Varyag, and even a Turkey that we usually don't care about wants to take advantage of it!

In 1998, AgenciaTuristicae DiversoesChongLotLimitada bought Varyag for 20 million US dollars (actually spent a total of 100 million US dollars) through bidding. The payment process is difficult. I have applied to Ukraine for deferred payment twice. Of course, the price is penalty interest, and it is an additional expenditure. After that, he had a lawsuit with a domestic company for many years because of debt, claiming that it would be transformed into a large-scale marine comprehensive tourism facility - including discos, hotels and gaming equipment, and moored in the sea near Macao in the future. At that time, some people questioned that the sea near Macao was shallow and this kind of big ship would not stop unless they had to dig deep into the waterway in the future. The Australian and Portuguese authorities made it clear that they would refuse to berth the Varyag in Macao before Macao's return to China.

In July 1999, the Macao company hired the CableCape tug from InternationalTransportContractors (ITC) to towed the Varyag to start the long voyage. Before sailing, the buyer asked to indicate the name of the new port to be settled in the obvious position of the sway. Therefore, next to the name of "Varyag", the word "KINGSTOWN" appears in English (Kingston, St. Vincent and the Grenadines capital). It is said that on the day the aircraft carrier was towed, Makarov, the seriously ill shipyard director, burst into tears and saw the "last journey" of the "Varyag" in the shipyard sanatorium by the sea.

When the ship reached the waters of the Black Sea in northern Turkey and was ready to pass through the Bosphorus Strait controlled by Turkey, "by the reminder of a third country", the Turkish government stopped it and forcibly ordered the Varyag to return to the Black Sea. Then in August, the Varyag tried to pass through the strait and was once again blocked by the Turkish government. The Varyag was blocked in the Black Sea. After drifting for a long time, it returned to the original seaport...
