Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 201 Dinner date to find out

Makarov's words did not surprise anyone present. They are all smart people. Makarov has been working here for so many years, so he naturally has his own philosophy and wisdom in doing things.

Li Weidong had no intention of hiding it. He wanted to know some specific situations. Undoubtedly, Makarov, who was in the eye of the storm, could understand this situation best, and there was no one else in the power cabin.

"I know you are Chinese, and maybe your purpose is different from theirs, but for us, the result is the same, we lost her.

And I don’t think China is her destination. Although she has completed nearly 70%, the rest is the most difficult part!”

The people Makarov was talking about were a group of scammers of unknown nationality who came last year with U.S. dollars to buy the scrap steel they dismembered 107. They agreed on a price but broke the contract.

Now that he was pointed out, Li Weidong no longer pretended to be stupid, but said sincerely: "Mr. Makarov, I think your understanding of China was still ten years ago. Twenty years ago, China has begun to change.

powerful!"

"This ship actually exists. It will always be there. Judging from the current situation, only China can complete it!"

"I know you may have questions about this, but the China you hear in your ears and see in the newspapers is definitely inconsistent with what Bakers and Bell say!"

"If you have time, I hope you can listen to the China that Bell has seen and heard with your own eyes. We also hope that you can travel to our place and experience it for yourself!"

Li Weidong had learned a lesson from some media's inaccurate reports in his previous life. Naturally, he would not be so angry in this life. You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. People will not want to talk to you, so what's the use of calling you.

You have to be strong, so strong that they will shamelessly come to please you!

There is no need for Li Weidong to say anything unnecessary. No matter how much he says, it will not have the weight of the Bells and his son. This sentence is enough.

Li Weidong and others continued to visit this giant ship. It is said that a ship like this requires 30,000 light bulbs, more than 1,000 telephones, and more than 2,000 kilometers of cable length, but Li Weidong has never been able to imagine how big it is.

Only now do I know that this is said to be too conservative. Li Weidong no longer knows how to evaluate it. In his previous life, he was just a small rich man. How could he have the chance to see this thing? He had never even seen a large ship.

In the evening, according to prearranged arrangements, Bakers invited some of the shipyard's senior executives to dinner. Being able to make an appointment was a good sign. As long as the shipyard was determined to sell the ship, there would be more solutions than difficulties.

Li Weidong had no plans to attend this dinner. With him here, it was hard to explain that the mission of Becks and Bell today was to explore the bottom of the shipyard.

Li Weidong and Ding Yuan, who did not have a big meal to eat, were walking on the streets of Nikolayev City. It was freezing cold, but at the street corner they could still see lesbians wearing very little, shivering in the cold wind.

Li Weidong looked at the lesbians who had excellent looks and figures. He wanted to open his arms and give them warmth, but basic moral requirements dictated that he could not do so.

This was taking advantage of others' danger. Li Weidong, who regarded himself as a gentleman, didn't bother to do this. He just didn't dare to wander any further and quickly returned to the hotel. The people were so enthusiastic that not to go would feel like a mistake.

The best hotel in the city, the largest room, a great environment, and everything you need. This has become Li Weidong's standard feature, commonly known as the presidential suite, but there is no such concept yet.

Li Weidong was sitting on a sofa, Old Bell was sitting on the sofa next to him, Bex and Bell were sitting at the desk not far away, and behind Li Weidong stood Ding Yuan, Yan Wenshou and two secretary candidates.

Several people's faces were very red, and it seemed that they had drunk a lot of wine. Li Weidong told them that drinking tea can relieve hangover. Bex had already drank several cups, and other than wanting to go to the toilet, he showed no signs of sobering up.

Eating is not the purpose, exploring the bottom is the task. Now that the task is completed, it is natural to report the situation to the leader.

Bakers first said: "Mr. Li, according to the conversation with them, except for Makarov who has not expressed his position, everyone else hopes to sell the ship as soon as possible. They only have orders for a few small ships, and now they don't even have the raw materials.

Can’t buy it anymore!”

Bex took a sip of tea and continued: "Besides, it is said that their wages have been in arrears for several months!"

Li Weidong nodded. This was almost as he expected. As for how he knew, Li Weidong's situation at Handong Machinery Factory in his previous life was very similar to that at Heihe Shipyard.

There are still no orders, there is a backlog of products, there are too many employees, workers are laid off, cadres are on standby, and basic living security cannot be paid.

Bell continued: "I talked with Makarov. Although he lamented the speed of China's economic development, he still has doubts about your country's ability to complete the final part of the 106th ship!"

Bell was a little helpless. He had not convinced himself yet, so how could he convince Makarov? He believed that China was developing rapidly, but it still had a long way to go before it could build a large cruiser on its own.

Old Bell waved his hand and said: "I'll go and tell him, I think he will change his mind!"

He and Makarov have known each other for more than ten years, and they are very familiar with each other. He cannot let this acquaintance block his way of making money, and selling this thing is not necessarily related to China's economic development.

It’s all sold, and the ownership has been transferred. Isn’t it superfluous for you to still care about what other people do?

Old Belle was very sober and continued: "To achieve this goal, we need to do a few small things now!"

Li Weidong sat up straight and said, "Please tell me!"

Now it's time to get down to business. This is the purpose of Li Weidong's agency fee. Several people are listening attentively, saying that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure, not to mention an experienced old comrade.

"First of all, we need to build momentum. Let the media find a few workers who are living in difficulty and let them complain. Some of those lesbians wearing so little on the streets must be from shipyards. Find more media to report!"

Li Weidong secretly nodded. This move was too underhanded, but it was indeed quite high. It is the instinct of the media to tease him. As long as there is a hot topic and traffic, he can become an Internet celebrity.

"Second, let's work it out and let the top management of the shipyard go to Kiev to ask for money and cry out for poverty!"

"Thirdly, we need to spend some money to find some powerful people to push the higher authorities to deal with this matter, and then find someone to propose a solution for the ship to be disposed of by the shipyard. In this case, our opportunity will come!

"

"But the price shouldn't be cheap. In addition, some unscrupulous methods must be used. The price of a finished ship is very different from that of a ship that is dismantled and sold for scrap. However, this operation is relatively difficult!"

Instead of dealing with the cruiser, it is left to the shipyard to deal with it, so there will be more room for maneuver!

These are all little cleverness, little tricks, and even a little dirty. But if these little tricks are done well and can achieve success, that is great cleverness and great wisdom.

On the contrary, I did not ask them to buy them, but asked them to come to me to buy them. This changed the initiative.

Li Weidong concluded: "The old man's idea is very quick. Bex, just follow the old man's arrangement. Don't care about money, just make a splash wherever money should be spent!"

Becks didn't know whether he drank too much tea or had sobered up naturally after a long period of time. He immediately said: "I will contact the media immediately, but Uncle Bell still needs to come to the matter in Kiev!"

Old Bell is going to deal with it, just to spend money. It's not in China. Li Weidong is not afraid of them settling the score. Anyway, the company that purchased this ship will be gone after a while.
