Chapter 1215 A weapon to burn money, too poor
1214
Time flies, and soon it’s 1991.
This year, because of the situation in the Soviet Union and Gorbachev's reforms, society was very complicated and turbulent.
Every small country has its own plans.
Huo Yingjun was originally junior. After working at the embassy in Moscow for a period of time, he was posted to Ukraine.
The situation in Ukraine is more complicated than in Moscow.
Domestic instability, economic turmoil, soaring prices, people's living standards are gradually declining, and domestic and foreign conflicts are soaring.
Huo Yingjun learned about the turmoil in the Soviet Union from his brother, and began to make arrangements in the Soviet Union, especially in Ukraine.
In order to obtain more military equipment and technology, Huo Yingjun privately obtained help from the country and received support from the domestic military. As long as you can get advanced technology, you can pay a huge price.
In the face of foreign technology blockades, the equipment obtained through domestic investment promotion are all civilian technologies, and many of them have been castrated by developed countries.
The current turmoil in the Soviet Union is a very good opportunity.
The news obtained in China was also secretly transmitted by Huo Yingjun.
The country is now divided into three factions. One faction supports Huo Yingjun's intelligence and believes that the disintegration of the Soviet Union is just a matter of time; the other faction believes that the great and powerful Soviet regime will never collapse and the huge Soviet Union will not disintegrate. The third group, they remain neutral and wait and see what happens.
Huo Yingjie jointly reported to the top leaders above that if they could get some relevant equipment and technology, they would have the ability to build an aircraft carrier.
As soon as they heard about the aircraft carrier, the leaders' eyes lit up.
However, most people don't believe that such a powerful thing cannot be built with the existing technology.
Even if you get the technology and equipment, you may not be able to build it.
However, Huo Yingjie insisted that it was possible. Even if it was not possible now, it did not mean that it would not be possible in the future. While the argument continued, Huo Yingjun handed over information saying that Ukraine intended to sell an aircraft carrier privately.
No matter whether it can be made or not, buy it first and study it.
To achieve leapfrog development of science and technology, we must first have basic technology.
As long as there is an aircraft carrier to refer to, China can always build its own aircraft carrier.
However, we still face a problem, no money!
Therefore, there has been no reply from the higher authorities.
Seeing that the Soviet Union is about to disintegrate, we can take advantage of the chaos and succeed, but because of money, we have been unable to make a decision.
Huo Yingjie knew that in the future, Varyag would buy it back ten years later. The setbacks he experienced during this period were definitely not something that could be explained in a few sentences. If you take advantage of the chaos this time, you can easily get it over. But if you miss this opportunity, you will have to go through the setbacks of your previous life again, which will cost you money and time.
So Mr. Huo summoned his eldest son, second son, and grandson Huo Yingjie to study at home.
This time, he also called the Tang family and the Ma family.
Their family alone would not be able to accomplish this task.
Mr. Huo's study is not small, but there were quite a lot of people here today, so it seemed a bit crowded.
Here, Huo Yingjie is young, so he plays the role of serving tea and water.
"I called you here today because of the purchase of an aircraft carrier that was discussed earlier." Mr. Huo said, "My eldest grandson is still in Ukraine. Although this matter is led by businessmen, I guarantee the credibility of the Huo family that this is true. . As long as we can get permission from above and have enough money, we can buy it!"
Everyone has known the importance of the navy for a long time, but its development costs money!
However, a navy cannot be built overnight, especially with cutting-edge equipment.
"Of course." Mr. Huo said firmly, "Even if it is fake, I will give it a try, not to mention the information from my eldest grandson himself. Aircraft carriers are not just aircraft carriers, they represent the most advanced productivity. Let's take When it arrives, not only will there be many improvements in military aspects, but it will also be of great help to other aspects.”
"Yes, of course I know the importance of aircraft carriers." Ma Guoxing said with emotion, "Isn't the reason why Country M is so awesome because it has several advanced aircraft carriers? When I visited Country M before, I boarded Country M I wish I could keep my eyes on someone else's aircraft carrier. It's so spectacular, and its military equipment is very advanced. I can only envy it. If you can confirm it, I will get the unit. As for money, I can’t help.”
When Mr. Tang heard what his two friends said, he looked at his eldest son and then at Huo Zhekun. He felt that this time, he was going to do something big.
"Let Tang Li and Zhe Kun figure out the money matter." Mr. Tang said,
Huo Zhekun's family knew about his own affairs. He looked at each other and said with a wry smile to Tang Li, "But we can't afford that much foreign exchange!"
When they thought of the huge sum of tens of millions, everyone fell silent.
Money is very scarce when it comes to use. One penny can kill a good man, let alone tens of millions of dollars.
Now the country's foreign exchange reserves dare not take action without authorization!
Huo Yingjie poured tea for everyone, and then heard his father's words and asked, "Father, how much does it cost in total?"
"Twenty million US dollars." Tang Ji replied, "The country cannot afford that much money."
"How much money can the country spend in total?" Huo Yingjie asked. He was working for the country, but he couldn't be asked to pay for it all.
Tang Li held out a collection with five fingers: "This is the number I found."
"Five million?" Huo Yingjie frowned. It was a little less, less than a quarter. With shipping costs, it would have doubled.
Tang Li and Huo Zhekun looked even more embarrassed when they heard this.
Tang Li lowered his head and stopped talking, letting Huo Zhekun do the talking.
Huo Zhekun was speechless and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Fifty thousand US dollars!"
"Ahem!" Upon hearing this, Huo Yingjie kept coughing and was choked!
Half a million?
It’s not enough to cover the staff’s travel expenses!
"Only 500,000 yuan, you still want to buy an aircraft carrier?" Huo Yingjie's voice was high. His eldest brother and the Huo family had spent so much effort to improve military technology, break the technological blockade imposed on China by the outside world, and achieve leapfrog development.
However, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
But the east wind cannot blow!
Huo Yingjie thought that the original five million US dollars was a bit small, but he didn't expect that they could come up with even less, half a million US dollars!
In the previous chapter, the children went to college because they skipped a grade and successfully fixed the bug, (*^__^*) hehe...
