Chapter 74 Open up the two veins of Ren and Du
Lovich was very happy about Chen Lidong's arrival. The two men communicated about the reconciliation, and Lovich arranged for people to contact Sun Xuyou and Chen Shufen for financial work.
When there were no outsiders, Chen Lidong reported to Lovich the situation of Andrei (Eugene) and looked at the photos taken in China.
Looking at his energetic son, the old man smiled and said, "Just leave him to you." Then he threw the photo into the fireplace. Having reached his current position, Lovich has become accustomed to being cautious.
After sitting down, Lovich said: "Xiaodong, the Russian Island has been negotiated and can be rented. The lease period is 40 years. As long as it does not endanger national security, you can do whatever you want with the place. Are you ready to do something?
What?"
Chen Lidong was also very happy and said: "That place is surrounded by warships, can I do whatever I want? My plan is to build a scrap ship dismantling factory there first, and then engage in smelting and shipbuilding in the future."
"Shipbuilding? The shipyard in Komsomolsk is still under construction. Should we acquire the shipyard?" Lovich really doesn't think it's a big deal.
"Isn't the shipyard's confidentiality level very high? Can it be acquired?" Chen Lidong asked doubtfully.
"Someone has contacted me a long time ago and said that I can acquire it, but the other party said that selling it to foreign companies is not possible," Lovich said.
Chen Lidong thought for a while and found that in later generations, the shipyard was indeed sold off and turned into a private enterprise. But it was later state-owned. It was reported in the news that Putin took back the shipyard for US$100 and used it to produce military ships. Of course.
The $100 was just a hype. At that time, Chen Lidong felt that it would not be that simple, so he continued to pay attention to the incident. Subsequent reports also confirmed that the Mao Xiong National Bank Savings Center acquired 60% of the equity of the shipyard for $100 and casually gave 4
The loan of US$1.9 billion was followed closely by the military's shipbuilding order of 1.9 billion rubles.
Chen Lidong recalled the time again. This later news happened after the Yanjing Olympics, more than ten years ago.
Chen Lidong thought to himself, as long as the price is cheap, then accept it. We are born in rags, and we are not afraid of dirt or stolen goods.
So I discussed with Lovich to acquire the shipyard shares at a suitable price. At the same time, Chen Lidong proposed: "Uncle, I think we should acquire the shares and recruit people at the same time. I don't know how much of the shipyard's technical information and technical talents are still retained. We
If we can build ships in the future, it will be very easy with these materials and talents. If we can't build ships now, we can arrange for them to dismantle the ships and raise these technical talents. If we acquire an empty shell, it will be meaningless."
Lovich thought for a while and said: "Okay, but we need to prepare a sum of funds first. The other party asked for US dollars. You need to think of a way first."
Chen Lidong thought for a while, he really couldn't get US dollars, but he didn't want to lose this opportunity, so he said: "The funds in my hand must first ensure the resumption of steelmaking production. If you have liquidity, you can start acquiring shipyards."
shares.”
Lovich also smiled bitterly and said: "I am also nervous. I recently acquired a timber factory. You mentioned that you want a commercial dock. I have already purchased a section of the shoreline dock."
"Great! Where is the dock?" Chen Lidong said excitedly. He is currently engaged in scrap steel trade and timber trade, and will also engage in steel export in the future. They are all bulk commodities. It will be very convenient to have its own dock and sea transportation inside and outside.
.
Lovich stood up, walked to the map, pointed to a sea area in Vladivostok and said: "The dock is in Vladivostok, in the Golden Horn Bay."
From the perspective of topographic conditions, the Golden Horn Bay is comparable to Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor. The entire bay is about 7 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide, in the shape of a trumpet. The water depth is 20 to 27 meters, making it a natural deep-water harbor. And because
This horn-shaped bay penetrates into the land like a wedge, with deep water and steep shores, and rarely freezes in the cold winter. It is one of the few ice-free ports in Maozi. Therefore, when Maozi discovered the Golden Horn Bay, its fate was
It is destined to be built into a military port.
Chen Lidong looked at it for a while: "Is this a military port? Is it directly opposite our island?"
"One side of the Golden Horn Bay is a military port, and the other side is a commercial port. Opposite is your Russian Island." Lovich said: "Now I have acquired a section of docks and warehouses there. How about it? Do you want to become a shareholder?"
"It is necessary. I will seize the time to raise funds. If possible, I am going to purchase some of the most advanced port equipment in the world and exchange the port shares. How about it?" Chen Lidong doesn't have cash right now, but he can exchange the equipment from the system platform. It should be
Can build the most advanced shore crane, gantry crane, ship unloader, tractor and so on.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Regarding Chen Lidong's proposal, Lovich supported it with both hands. "Of course."
Chen Lidong suggested: "I want to go there and have a look. Can you arrange for someone to go with me?"
Lovich thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you. There are some things here that are very annoying. I also want to leave here. I just want to go east for a walk."
Lovich was also an activist and told Chen Lidong to prepare to leave two days later. At this time, Chen Lidong had just bought some equipment that Shokhorov needed and loaded it into a car to be sent to the Komsomolsk Steel Plant.
Lovich simply traveled with Chen Lidong. Gennady was still in Mozambique as the second boss of the steel factory. This time, there were more than a dozen cars traveling with him, and the accompanying guards were almost fully armed.
Chen Lidong asked in confusion: "Is it unsafe on the road?"
"Don't worry, nothing serious will happen. I just want to scare those blind things." Lovich comforted him, but Chen Lidong found that the expression on the face of the guard in the co-pilot was not relaxed at all. He regretted sitting with Lovich.
On a car, it would be great if Edmund was around, it would definitely be a metal shield.
Fortunately, nothing happened on the way to Komsomolsk. But when we arrived at the steel plant, we saw an accident.
Dozens of people were blocked on the road outside the steel factory. The factory door was closed, and people outside were making a lot of noise and even throwing stones at the inside.
Lovich's motorcade stopped when it was a hundred meters away from the crowd. Several guards walked over to understand the situation and came back later and said: "It's people from the railway. They said someone stole the rails and sold them to the steel mill. They want to go in and check."
, take back the rails, and ask the steel mill to hand over the thieves.”
Lovich thought for a while and said: "Call their leader over and get more people."
The adjutant sitting in the passenger seat got out of the car and went to take command. Chen Lidong quickly contacted Edmund and asked him to come over and escort him. We are the system master and we cannot allow any accidents.
These days, civilians are still afraid of soldiers. After a while, the adjutant came over with a few people. Lovich got out of the car, and Chen Lidong also opened the door and walked out.
The person in charge of blocking the door was brought over and whispered the problem to Lovich. Edmund translated in Chen Lidong's ear. The general situation was: a lot of rails were lost on the railway recently. After verification, they were sold to the steel plant.
, and the stock of spare rails has been exhausted. Simply put, they are being repaired here and stolen there. Railway transportation has been greatly damaged. There is no other way, so they find people to surround the steel factory and want to sell it back to the factory.
of rails.
Chen Lidong was very embarrassed, collecting waste and receiving stolen goods. At this time, the privatization process in the Far East was accelerating, the poverty level of the bottom class was also intensifying, social management was chaotic, and theft and robbery would become more and more common. Fortunately, these people did not initiate riots.
Chen Lidong walked to Lovich and said: "Uncle, the situation of the railway cannot be ignored. Without the railway, our production and trade will suffer losses. You arrange for someone to control the situation, and I asked Shoholov to return the rails to the railway company.
"
Lovich nodded and said: "These people are all workers below, and the top management of the railway company has not come forward. Those losers only care about making money and don't care about anything." After that, he arranged for people to evacuate the people blocked at the gate.
Chen Lidong asked Edmund to go in and explain the situation to Shoholov.
Shoholov was really in the factory, just behind the gate. After a while, the gate opened. Chen Lidong and Lovich drove in. Chen Lidong rolled down the window and told Shoholov a few words, then accompanied him.
Lovich entered the office building.
After sitting down in a reception room, Chen Lidong asked Lovich: "Uncle, can we acquire shares in the railway company?"
Lovich said: "The railway company here in the Far East has been privatized, but those people don't want to invest. It seems they just make a profit and leave. I think if this situation continues for another five years, the railway will be paralyzed."
"Then let us take care of it. You come forward to acquire the railway shares, implement military control on key sections, and intensify efforts to crack down on those elements who destroy railway facilities..." Chen Lidong talked eloquently, even referring to China's crackdown on car bandits.
Bring over the Roadhog stuff.
Lovich interrupted Chen Lidong's suggestion and said: "The key is that the railway transportation of goods is insufficient. The Far East economy as a whole is still declining. Our efforts cannot leverage the vitality of the entire Far East. If we operate according to your model, the railway will still have to
Losing money."
"Hey, how about we first get the operating rights of the railway from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok. If necessary, we will consider other things." Chen Lidong still refused to give up.
"Okay, I'll arrange this, but in the end it's still a question of funding. You Chinese have a saying: 'You can't become fat by eating one bite.' Let's take our time." Lovich couldn't defeat Chen Lidong, so he made a verbal promise first.
Chen Lidong thought to himself, it is really easy to make money. If you wait for me to buy a batch of high-end machinery and CNC machine tools when they are shipped to the country, they will definitely grab them like crazy, and they will only charge US dollars. It is said that with the disintegration of Su Xiong, the Batumi Association has been dissolved.
Maybe it can be done before the Wassenaar Agreement comes out.
However, if you do this, you will immediately be targeted by interested people. Domestic people who are eager for high-end equipment are red-eyed. Chen Lidong’s selling points, steel billets, have been found by Beigang, and the investigation team of Yanjing has been alerted. If it is found that the powerful weapon came from Chen Xiaoer
No matter how high your level of deception is, it will be useless. Forget it, just wait and see when the opportunity comes.
Now, of course, we are digesting a wave of scrap steel here. Chen Lidong came here with a magic weapon in mind. As mentioned before, the system furnace has a three-word modifier: super dimension. These three words determine that the furnace can be included in the system space.
, placed in any factory controlled by Chen Lidong, and after setting up a material recycling bin, it would be like a glutton, devouring all kinds of waste materials.
The materials swallowed by the ultra-dimensional furnace are first decomposed into elemental elements, and then smelted in the extra-dimensional space according to the host's settings.
According to the rules explored by Chen Lidong, as long as the host masters the material formula and smelting process, it can smelt various metals and polymer materials in the super-dimensional furnace.
Now, Chen Lidong only has this steel factory in the Far East. It is said that the diesel engine factory also has his own shares, and he also owns the island in the east. But now it is only this factory that can be used to place a super-dimensional furnace.
Therefore, before Chen Lidong went abroad, he put the furnace into the space, planned to set up a material recycling station in the steel plant, black-paint the steel, and then sell it to China and other countries. According to his idea, at least millions of dollars should be exported from here.
Tons of steel and dozens of freight trains are transported every day. How can it be done without railways?
Lovich bought a section of commercial terminal and surrounding warehouse yards, which also gave Chen Lidong a surprise.
Chen Lidong was eager to visit the port. He discovered the problems on the railway and suggested that Lovich acquire the railway company. This was all based on the consideration of smooth traffic.
