Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

There are two destroyers and one cruiser, but compared to destroyers with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons, the tonnage of cruisers is much larger.

At the dock of the shipyard, a black steel behemoth floats quietly on the sea.

The guided missile cruiser Admiral Lobuchev started construction in 1986 and was able to float in 1990. However, due to the sharp reduction of Russian military expenditure, the construction was stopped after 96% of the completion. It has a total length of 286 meters, a width of 22 meters, a standard displacement of 19,000 tons, and a maximum displacement of 22,000 tons when fully loaded.

The most striking thing on the ship is the sixteen huge cylindrical long-range anti-ship missile launchers installed on it, which can launch extremely powerful Russian-made "Basalt" anti-ship missiles.

This long-range anti-ship missile is meters long, weighs 4.8 tons, can fly at Mach 2.5, has a maximum range of 550 kilometers, and can hold 750 kilograms of conventional explosives and 50,000 tons of TNT equivalent Nuclear explosives, whose warhead power is about four times that of the US "Harpoon" missile and three and a half times that of the "Tomahawk" missile, are mainly used to attack large warships such as aircraft carriers.

This is a big guy.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that it is a big guy, it wouldn't be forced to stop work after 96 percent of completion.

If this cruiser is fully armed, the cost will be as high as 300 million U.S. dollars, which is not affordable by today's polar bears. Nowadays, the public has a deep aversion to the US-Soviet arms race, and no one wants to offend everyone in the country. Keep producing such a ship that is no longer useful.

The Cold War is over, isn't it!

From the perspective of the external structure, the entire cruiser can no longer see any unfinished parts. The dark paint is all over the hull, floating on the light green sea surface, and ripples are caused by the rippling sea water.

The hull is very high, half of it is submerged in the sea, and the other half is still more than three meters high.

Under the leadership of An Huihaoer, Shen Jiannan and his party stepped on the spiral staircase step by step to the platform of the spiral staircase.

The entrance of the guided missile cruiser Admiral Lobuchev is right in front of you, and Tang Dunhou at the end has a deep sense of absurdity.

Extremely ridiculous.

He didn't read many books, but at least he had learned the secrecy regulations and had been on the battlefield. He deeply knew how terrifying the value of this thing was, and he also deeply understood the significance of such a cruiser.

It's for aircraft carriers.

But now, he actually boarded this terrifying battleship of an aircraft carrier killer in an open and aboveboard manner.

Why is my boss so unreliable.

Tang Dunhou didn't know how to describe his feelings. As Shen Jiannan's number one bodyguard, he knew very well how much capital Shen Jiannan had invested in the north.

No, he knew very well how much money Shen Jiannan made with the polar bear.

Others are empty-handed white wolves, but Shen Jiannan is not an empty-handed white wolf at all.

More than 400 million rubles were mortgaged for 100 million U.S. dollars of national debt, and a bank was conveniently set up, relying on the bank to take other people's money to make other people's money, and finally redeemed the national debt and took it away.

Forget about a dime, and have made hundreds of millions of dollars for no reason.

Absurd, deeply absurd.

Any fool would know that such a shipyard would be worth a lot of money, and the 96% completed cruiser in front of him might be able to sell for a lot of money for scrap iron.

But what did your boss do?

half a million dollars.

It took half a million dollars to buy such a large shipyard whose edge could not be seen by the naked eye.

It's just bad luck.

thump thump——

Several people stepped on the connecting steel plate of the spiral ladder and stepped onto the cruiser. The moment they stood on the hull and stroked the cold rotating and shrinking missile launcher on the hull, Shen Jiannan himself felt very absurd.

This is a war machine. After living two lifetimes, this is also the first time he has boarded this kind of guy.

"This ship is too finished, and it is very difficult to rebuild it. The designer said that if you want to rebuild it, you can only convert it into an oil tanker. There are six compartments below. If you install stainless steel plates, you can pull oil. You can also pull chemicals. However, the cost of reconstruction may be very high, and it is cost-effective.”

An Huihaoji said seriously about the idea of ​​​​renovating the Admiral Lobuchev guided missile cruiser, which is serious and serious, not serious and serious.

In his eyes, the value of such a cruiser is completely inferior to the two destroyers that were not costly to rebuild.

Unless the ship that has been built is sold according to the original design, it will lose money no matter what.

But for Shen Jiannan, it was different.

Mou Zhizhong can exchange a few carloads of Erguotou and vegetables and miscellaneous grains for a large plane. If this thing is sold, at least hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of cartloads of Erguotou can be exchanged.

Change tankers, pull chemicals.

Pull a hammer.

"How much will it cost to remodel?"

"Many parts of the reconstruction need to be cut and re-welded, and the new hull also needs to be re-manufactured. The budget department has roughly estimated that it will cost at least one trillion rubles."

One trillion rubles, or fifty million dollars.

Shen Jiannan frowned consciously. This guy touched the heavy missile launcher with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"The price is too high. What if we continue to complete the project according to the original design?"

"About five million dollars."

An Huihao said subconsciously, but then he thought it was meaningless

"Although the cost of continuing to complete the project according to the original design is relatively low, the military has no money to buy this ship. Miss Yulia and General Tovsky have consulted. The current military expenditures of the military are very tight, and the salaries of the soldiers They cannot be issued on time, and it is impossible to buy this cruiser. Unless, we give it to them for free."

The continuation of the construction costs of US$5 million could not be paid out, and the salaries of the soldiers could not be paid on time.

That's great.

Shen Jiannan took light steps, stroking the heavy and thick missile launchers on the ship one by one.

"We can build it and sell it to other countries. They don't need it now, and many countries still need it. It's easy to find the right buyer and sell it for hundreds of millions of dollars."

Although Anhui Haoji is a serious entrepreneur, it doesn't mean he is stupid. It is a pity that such a state-of-the-art cruiser that is almost finished is ruined. If a suitable buyer is found, it is indeed as Shen Jiannan said, hundreds of millions Dollars are easy.

However, this buyer seems to be almost nonexistent in the world.

Cruisers are only needed by countries with sea areas, but the figure of hundreds of millions of dollars immediately excludes 99% of the countries that need to protect sea areas.

There are Swedish warships in Northern Europe. Given the relationship between the five Nordic countries, it is impossible to buy Soviet-made warships.

There are Germany and the United Kingdom in Western Europe, and it is impossible to buy Soviet-made warships.

In Asia, there are countries that need this thing, but the economic level of Asia is there, and the two big countries can't afford such a guy. After calculating and calculating, An Huihaoji found that the only people who could afford this thing were Singapore and South Africa.

Singapore's Starfall Island needs warships, and its economic strength is strong, so hundreds of millions of dollars can definitely be spent. South Africa, as the largest economy in Africa and a developed country, can definitely afford it.

If it can be sold to these two countries, it can make a lot of money.

"But only South Africa and Singapore are able to buy this cruiser, but it is impossible for us to ship it out."

Shen Jiannan couldn't help laughing.

There are not many countries that can buy this cruiser with money, but it can be exchanged.

"An Huisang. It's impossible for us to ship it out, but someone can? For example, the Baltic Fleet."
