Chapter 878
Meng Haisheng gave Vladimir a reassurance and gave him a round of encouragement, and he agreed to help Meng Haisheng collect scrap steel.
After hanging up the phone with Meng Haisheng, Vladimir drove to a large scrap base in the suburbs.
Even the weeds as tall as a person could not cover the hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles in the scrap base.
Vladimir sat in the car, lit a cigarette for himself, and looked at the deserted tank cemetery in front of him. He frowned and felt very uncomfortable.
These tanks once made great contributions to Prida, but now they can only wait for the fate of being dismantled.
When they can be dismantled depends on the economic development of Prida.
At present, everyone is working hard to develop Prida's economy, but the effect is not very good. Everyone now only wants to solve the problem of food and clothing. As for these tanks, no one wants to dismantle them.
After smoking a cigarette, Vladimir looked into the distance, where there are still hundreds of abandoned fighters and trainers.
And this weapons graveyard is just one of many weapons graveyards.
Most of the weapons inherited by Prida have become scrap metal and thrown into the wasteland.
They also have several warships, but because they can't afford to maintain them, they were all dismantled and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
Sighing, Vladimir wondered when Prida's economy would develop, instead of being so poor that only a pile of scrap metal remains.
Perhaps Meng Haisheng's arrival can bring a glimmer of hope to Prida's economic development.
Capitalists like Yuri should get out of Prida.
They monopolize most of Prida's profitable industries, and a lot of money falls into the hands of these capitalists. Ordinary people can only rely on their hands to work hard to survive.
If Meng Haisheng can buy all these obsolete weapons and equipment, he can create a very considerable amount of foreign exchange for Prida.
This is very important for Prida's economic development.
Vladimir put out the cigarette in his hand, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car through the dusty dirt road, with abandoned tanks and armored vehicles on both sides of the road.
The corners of his lips rose slightly, and his heart was full of joy.
Sooner or later, the people in their country will be able to live a good life with enough food and clothing.
At the same time, Meng Haisheng was also preparing to purchase a large amount of scrap steel.
The domestic stock market was up and down like a roller coaster. Meng Haisheng took the opportunity to make a fortune and withdrew most of the funds to purchase scrap steel.
Prida needs foreign exchange, and the country also needs it.
Meng Haisheng took the money to the Hong Kong stock market and auction house, and finally turned it into foreign exchange. Part of it was put in Hong Kong Island, ready to be used to purchase scrap steel in the future.
The other part was transferred back to China.
His capital changes this time were relatively large, and even alarmed Shi Rongjin.
"Haisheng, what have you been busy with recently? How come there is a capital flow of more than 500 million in just half a month?"
When Shi Rongjin called, Meng Haisheng knew that so much capital flow had attracted the attention of those who were interested.
However, he has always been cautious in doing things. If anyone is not convinced, just come and check his accounts. He invited so many powerful financial people to come and get so much salary every month, but they are not here to eat for free.
"I am going to import a batch of scrap steel from abroad. You also know that foreign businessmen are more busy now. They all like US dollars. I have no choice but to put part of the funds in Hong Kong Island."
"You imported a lot of scrap steel from Tukum, why do you suddenly increase the quantity? Aren't you afraid that you will have too much money and can't turn it over?"
Shi Rongjin was a little worried about Meng Haisheng's big move. He knew very well that if a company's capital chain was suddenly broken, it would be fatal to the company.
"It's not a big problem. The price of scrap steel abroad is estimated to be less than 100 US dollars per ton. The funds I have are enough for the time being."
Meng Haisheng took the opportunity to talk to Shi Rongjin on the phone and told him about the Ulyanx aircraft carrier.
"Although the Ulyanx aircraft carrier has only been built by 30%, if I want to buy this aircraft carrier, I should be able to find a way to get all the drawings. Fourth uncle, are you interested in taking over this aircraft carrier?"
Shi Rongjin on the other end of the phone showed a bitter smile on his face. He thought, but the current national conditions do not allow it. Although the national economy is developing rapidly, it also has countless problems.
The current workers' wages are only more than 200 yuan, and there are still many places that have not escaped poverty.
In this case, the country cannot afford to pay extra money to support the aircraft carrier.
"It costs a lot of money to maintain an aircraft carrier. We are still too poor in China. How can we afford to maintain such a money-burning machine?"
"I have a solution. It can not only bring the aircraft carrier back, but also allow the country to temporarily save money to maintain the aircraft carrier. When the country has money and wants to rebuild the aircraft carrier, it can be directly modified at that time."
Meng Haisheng's words made Shi Rongjin's eyes light up. Although the country does not have the money to support aircraft carriers now, in another 10 years, after 10 years of economic development, the country will definitely have the money to support aircraft carriers.
"Haisheng, what solution do you have?"
"I will pull the aircraft carrier back first, buy all the drawings and core technologies, and then put the aircraft carrier in Qingshan Port, where I will transform the aircraft carrier into a supertanker and then open it as a five-star hotel."
"In the future, no matter when the country needs it, I will give up the aircraft carrier."
"Haisheng, wait for me first, I will hold a meeting to study it, and I will notify you immediately if there is any definite news."
"There is no rush for this matter. Prida is still negotiating prices with other foreign scrap steel merchants. It will not be too late for me to make a move after they break down the talks."
"Okay, then we will contact you at any time if we have any news. "
After hanging up the phone with Shi Rongjin, Meng Haisheng sat in his boss chair and turned around happily.
Things went much more smoothly than he thought. At this rate, it wouldn't take long for Yuri to cry and call him daddy.
His plan was a three-birds-with-one-stone move. First, by buying scrap iron, Meng Haisheng could have a good relationship with the upper echelons of Prida, and when he bought steel, he would get a good price.
Second, on Yuri's side, he got to know the upper echelons of Prida through scrap steel, and when he bought the Uriyanks aircraft carrier, he added some conditions to buy steel, thus tearing a hole in Yuri's monopoly on the steel industry.
As for the third, scrap iron can be used. The price of the Ulyanx aircraft carrier, the rights and interests involved in an aircraft carrier are not just this point in front of us.
If he can get the support of bigwigs like Shi Rongjin, when the Ulyanx aircraft carrier is pulled to Qingshan Port and built into a five-star hotel, it will be green light all the way, and no matter what documents are applied for, it will be smooth.
Moreover, the luxury cruise ship converted from an aircraft carrier is also a gimmick enough, and it is close to Pengcheng Special Zone. He believes that after the opening, it will definitely make him a lot of money.
Meng Haisheng has always been so thorough in doing things. He will not be impulsive, nor will he do something when his mind is hot.
As calm as he is, Yuri still has a long way to go to fight him.
The decades he lived in his previous life were not lived in vain.
