Qin Tao spent a whole day visiting Tula and returned to Moscow by car that evening. When he returned, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Like other capitals, Moscow is also brightly lit. When a few people got off the bus, they saw Zaitsev greeted on the platform with an apology on his face: "Mr. Qin, our navy has signed a contract with the French.

Your Excellency Nicholas would like to treat you to a drink and apologize to you."

"Forget it. Business is business. Nicholas has his own difficulties. It's not convenient for me to be alone with Nicholas, right?"

"Now that the bidding has ended, you don't have to avoid suspicion. You are good friends. If you don't meet each other, it will arouse suspicion."

Qin Tao nodded: "Okay."

At the Bolshoi Theater, a famous actress performed ballet gracefully. Qin Tao took Zhao Ling to sit next to Nikolai and experienced the influence of art. After coming out, it was already twelve o'clock, and several people came

We arrived at the bar next to the Grand Theater.

"Qin, the contract has been signed. I'm sorry that we didn't give it to you. Although we think Mingzhou Group is the most suitable, the superiors have their own considerations."

"We also think that the 075 with a displacement of 40,000 tons is your best choice." Qin Tao said: "We are sorry, but this does not affect our friendship. I went to Tula City to see the car factory there.

very nice."

"Well, we are full of confidence in this project." Nicholas was curious, why did Qin Tao always change the topic?

"However, I am not at ease about cooperating with the French." Nicholas continued: "After all, we have been deceived by the West many times."

"How else can the French deceive you? The most they can do is to use the excuse of rising costs and ask you to spend more money during construction. You just need to explain it in the contract," Qin Tao said.

"Yes, we are also aware of this." Nikolai said: "If they dare to increase the price, it will be a violation of the contract and they will have to compensate us a sum of money."

"They may not have the money to compensate you by then, and they are arguing with each other. If something like that really happens, come to us at any time, and I will mediate for you. Maybe we can find a solution that has the best of both worlds."

"Well, thank you, Qin, you are our best friend, our forever friend!"

The wine glasses clinked together and they both drank.

"Now that the matter is over, I will go back." Qin Tao said: "Our group still has many things to do. Finally, congratulations on entering a new era."

In the same city, the boss didn't sleep either. He listened to these conversations almost simultaneously. After listening, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Are Orientals really free from desires? This Nicholas and Mr. Qin have a truly great friendship?

However, as a big boss, he must know how to weigh and never give all orders to Dongfang. He does not think his choice is wrong.

"Report." At this moment, a voice sounded outside.

"Come in."

"I just received definite news that in order to improve the power of warships, the French decided to purchase gas turbines from the East."

The boss realized that Mr. Qin could take it or let it go because they would still get enough benefits from this project even if they did not win the bid!

It's good that the gas turbines produced by Dongfang are also used on our own modified warships, so that the power systems are consistent and easier to maintain in the future.

This matter is finally over!

Da Mao’s revival is about to begin! Big bosses are also looking forward to it.

A special plane landed at Mingzhou Airport. After getting off, Qin Tao looked at the sparse people in the airport. Everyone he saw was wearing a mask.

"Mr. Qin, according to your arrangement, our petrochemical industry has accelerated the deployment of polypropylene non-woven fabrics since last year. At the beginning of this year, our production capacity reached its peak. In recent months, this production line has been operating at full speed.

Production to meet domestic needs. Now, many downstream companies are lamenting that if we had not provided sufficient melt-blown non-woven fabrics, this year's masks would be in short supply and the prices would rise."

Qin Tao nodded: "We are already a large enterprise. Of course we have to consider people's livelihood. As long as there is sufficient supply in the market, we can keep the price down."

"However, there are still a group of speculators who are hoarding a lot and want to make a fortune."

Make a fortune?

Qin Tao had a smile on his face: "Masks have a service life. They are hoarding them and waiting to lose everything."

Masks are the best way to filter air. The most important material is an extremely fine and electrostatically charged inner filter cloth: melt-blown non-woven fabric.

This kind of non-woven fabric comes from polypropylene, a by-product of the petroleum industry. When dust in the air comes close to this non-woven fabric, it will be electrostatically adsorbed on the surface of the non-woven fabric and cannot pass through. Compared with the previous era of medical multi-layer gauze

The mask is much easier to use.

Of course, polypropylene is not only used in masks, but also in non-woven fabrics, clothing fabrics, carpet silk, civil hygiene products and other fields.

Therefore, when Qin Tao specifically proposed to increase the production capacity of this kind of non-woven fabric last year, everyone was still curious. Even if it was used for Eight Wolf men's clothing, would it be too much? This year, I suddenly realized that Mr. Qin is so powerful that everything

Just like the prophet.

This year, mask factories across the country are operating at full capacity, and the demand for non-woven fabrics required for such masks has suddenly increased. If Mingzhou Group had not provided sufficient supply, the price would have definitely skyrocketed.

As for the few unscrupulous businessmen who are hoarding money? The police investigation and handling is one thing, and letting them lose all their money is another.

After all, masks cannot be worn for several months.

"Mr. Qin, according to domestic requirements, we need to stay in a special hotel for a few days." Xu Zhengyang said.

"It doesn't matter, let's just rest for a few days." Qin Tao said, "After working hard for so long, just treat it as a vacation."

President Qin suddenly disappeared, which made the French anxious. Fortunately, a week later, they finally contacted Qin Tao.

In the spacious office of Mingzhou Shipyard, Qin Tao turned on his computer, logged on to ICQ, opened the video inside, and an anxious face appeared.

"President Qin, I am Dekaina. There have been some changes in our domestic aircraft carrier construction."

"What changes?"

"In order to reduce costs, we may not increase the displacement. It will remain the same as the Charles de Gaulle, about 40,000 tons. This will also facilitate our shipyard construction."

"so what?"

"So, we only need to order two UGT40000 gas turbines, not four."

"Of course, no problem. Two units are worth 100 million US dollars."

"Excuse me, when can you deliver it?"

"When will you pay the full payment and when will we deliver the goods?"

"Full payment? Mr. Qin, our funds are temporarily insufficient, can you..."

"No." Qin Tao's answer was straightforward: "We never accept credit. If you want the engine, you have to pay the full price. By the way, we are talking about FOB prices, and you are responsible for the transportation costs. If you want

If you don’t have enough funds, forget it.”

"No, no, Mr. Qin, we will try our best to raise enough funds, please give us time!"

In the entire project with Damao, the biggest variable is the engine. They have to buy the engine first. If Oriental doesn't sell it in the future, or raises the price, won't they lose money?

They must control this variable.

"I'm not in a hurry. As soon as you have the full payment, I'll come to pick up the goods." Qin Tao said, "I'm still busy, so I hung up."

After turning off the video, Qin Tao lay comfortably on the chair.

"I'm very curious. According to Damao's requirements, they purchased two of our UGT25000s, and combined with their two diesel engines, the power output is enough for 60 megawatts. Why did they purchase our 40-megawatt gas turbines?" Zhao Ling asked very much.

Puzzled.

The Mistral-class amphibious assault ship uses three sets of Vasilan 16 V32 diesel generator sets, each with 6.2 MW, and a Vasaa 18V200 auxiliary diesel generator set with a power of 3 MW, which together reaches more than 20 MW.

Watts of power.

It's okay to use it on the French's own northwest wind. After all, the French navy does not pursue speed, but Da Mao put forward hard conditions for the French: the output power must be sufficient, not only the speed must meet the standard, but also power must be reserved for electromagnetic ejection, at least

It has to be sixty megawatts!

The original 20 MW power generation power of the French did not change, but they added a 40 MW gas turbine from the Mingzhou Group, so that they could reach 60 MW. If two UGT25000s are used, it will be considered a conventional

model, also has a power of 26.7 megawatts, so two units are enough for more than fifty megawatts, plus two diesel engines.

The combination of two gas turbines and two diesel engines is the choice of many warships. Now, the French are unconventional and not taking the usual path?

"Of course it's interest." Qin Tao said: "If the purchase of diesel engines is reduced, the French Diesel Engine Company will make less money. They must balance these interests. In this way, one of our gas turbines is enough. And only one of our gas turbines is enough."

Adding an additional unit also makes it easier to free up space.”

Zhao Ling nodded, feeling sad for these French colleagues, who had to look forward and backward in everything they did, but could not choose the optimal solution from a technical perspective.

Of course, it is good for us. After all, the 40-megawatt gas turbine is produced by us, and it can be sold at a high price.

"Doesn't this old man have any complaints?"

"What complaints does Lao Maozi have? Their Kuznetsov uses 9 turbine generators and 6 diesel generators. They won't have too many," Qin Tao said.

I don’t know if Lao Maozi’s generators don’t have large ones. Each generator only has 1,500 kilowatts. After using so much, we only managed to collect 22.5 megawatts of electricity. If we were on our own side, just one generator would be enough.

This matter has come to an end for the time being. The French have no choice but to raise US$90 million. Together with the previous US$10 million deposit, they can collect US$100 million to purchase two four-wheel drive vehicles from Mingzhou Group.

Ten megawatt gas turbine.

Qin Tao didn't take this matter to heart. A contract worth 100 million US dollars was not worthy of his attention. Naturally, what he valued most was other projects in the shipyard.

On the slipway, the first ship of the Type 055 destroyer has started construction. Although it did not take long, the bow part of the ship has been built. Compared with the previous 052 destroyer, its broken line running through the hull is lower, even if

Even from space, it can be seen clearly. After all, using this fold line as the dividing line, the buildings above will be recycled inward.

At the same time, the second section is also being built in the open space next to it. After it is completed, it will be hoisted over to connect the sections. The fold line of this second section will be clearer.

I wonder how long it will take for the West to know that it is building a giant ship? What will it think when it finds out?
