Chapter 109: Ukrainian Black Sea Shipyard
This also made the Black Sea Shipyard, which could have obtained aircraft carrier orders, not much in this life. It could only produce some cargo ships and fishing boats to make a living.
Five days later, the housekeeper Ivan brought back a very important news, that is, "Young Master, we are inquiring about the news in Ukraine. I heard that their largest shipyard, the Black Sea Shipyard, was so difficult that it could not even pay the salary. And many talents have been lost. Now, it has to rely on the state to continuously make up for the losses to maintain operations. If this situation continues, the shipyard will probably file for bankruptcy soon..."
While stroking the little tiger's head on his lap, Ma Wei carefully listened to the housekeeper's words. He remembered that in his previous life, the Black Sea Shipyard filed for bankruptcy in 2018. Unexpectedly, in this life, after missing orders from Asian countries, it would be impossible so soon...
"How much does it cost to acquire this Black Sea shipyard in Ukraine? Has the team estimated the price?" Mawei asked the butler.
In 2000, Russia and Ukraine had a very good relationship, and they could be said to be sympathetic to brothers. If Mavi had to spend money to acquire some shares in the Black Sea Shipyard, I believe it would be difficult. Moreover, the Ukrainian government really had no money to operate the shipyard. Instead of ruining it in his own hands, it would be better to cooperate with him.
This not only can we sell at a good price, but also turn losses into profits in the future, which is inevitable in Ukraine. It is simply a one-time and for all.
Of course, as for the relationship between Ukraine and Russia later, it depends on the subsequent development. I believe that with Mavi, the reborn person, in this life, he would not want to see two brothers who are in sympathetic and become enemies.
"Young Master, the team's estimate of the Black Sea Shipyard is about 190 million US dollars. If you wait for one or two years, when the shipyard filed for bankruptcy and the court liquidated, the price should be cheaper. It is about 150 million US dollars." The housekeeper said to Mawei very responsibly.
But after hearing this, Mawei shook his head, "There are too many variables in two years. If India, Malaysia and other countries order aircraft carriers or destroyers from shipyards, the Black Sea shipyard will immediately get alive. Don't lose such a good opportunity for US$40 million. And Ukraine may not transfer all the shipyards in the end. As long as they are willing to cooperate with me, that's enough."
Mavie is well aware of the truth. It is difficult for him to buy all the largest military shipyards in Ukraine like he acquires other companies. It is the most reasonable only if the two parties cooperate.
Moreover, he didn't want to disrupt his navigation industry layout in order to save tens of millions of dollars. After all, the Indian Navy has made it clear that they will really order aircraft carriers in the future. If this order is given to Ukraine, Mavie will have to wait for 18 more years. This is not fun...
However, when it comes to aircraft carriers, there is a lot of knowledge! Aircraft carriers are divided into two types, one is the modern-class conventional-powered aircraft carrier, and the other is the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
For a modern-class conventional-powered aircraft carrier, the cost of a 60,000-ton hull is generally 400 million US dollars, and the price to the outside is about 3.6 billion US dollars. As for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the cost is at least 60%, which is 640 million US dollars. The price to the outside is at least 5.5 billion US dollars. This is the price in 2000.
After building an aircraft carrier, the carrier-based aircraft must also be configured. The first domestic aircraft carrier, the Liaoning aircraft carrier, can carry 36 aircraft.
These include 4 Z-18j early warning helicopters, 6 Z-18f anti-submarine helicopters, 2 Z-9c search and rescue helicopters and 24 J-15 fighter jets.
These carrier-based aircraft, calculated at the same price, are sold at least more than US$2 billion. In total, the price of a conventional-powered aircraft carrier can be sold at more than US$5.3 billion!
The profit here is much better than the frigate, destroyer! Of course, the premise is to get the aircraft carrier order...
"Okay, young master, I understand. I'll send someone to contact me now!" The housekeeper Ivan unconditionally supported his young master's decision. After all, he watched Ma Wei successfully. Whether it was the Internet, movies, games, or even the current military industry, Ma Wei almost never made any mistakes.
"Yeah." Mawei said, reaching out to pick up the polar bear Winnie who was lying at his feet, and struggling to pick it up from the floor. After more than six months of growth, Winnie Bear has become very heavy. But she still hasn't gotten rid of her breasts and is stuck with Mawei all day long to hug...
...
Three days later, Mavi took his Gulfstream G200 plane and took off from Moscow Airport to Kiev Borispol Airport in Ukraine.
Currently, he has successfully accumulated bank deposits to US$590 million through the "Counter-Strike" game and 6 frigate orders!
With this huge amount of money, Mawei considered to reward himself as encouragement after acquiring the Black Sea Shipyard. For example, exchange the g200 business jet that he had been on for a long time. Get an A380 Airbus and a Bombardier Global Express (Bill Gates bought this plane).
A380 is used when traveling, such as talking about nuclear warhead transactions with the UAE in the future, and talk about nuclear powered submarines with Malaysia... As for Bombardier Global Express, be low-key and fly-flying normally.
While buying a plane, we naturally have to go and see the goddess Jennifer, whom we haven't seen for many days. With the current relationship between the two, it's time to go further...
Life is full of joy. I have to say that Ma Wei is really a little arrogant now. However, he still has the necessary calmness, otherwise any wrong decision can make him terrible...
When the plane landed successfully at Ukrainian airport, Mavi took a convoy to visit the Black Sea Shipyard.
The Black Sea Shipyard, covering an area of 2 million square meters, is the only aircraft carrier construction and assembly plant in the Soviet era. It has produced aircraft carriers including Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Kuznetsov and other aircraft carriers. It can be said to be the largest and most awesome military shipyard in Europe.
Mawei sat in his war shield bulletproof car, looking at the outline of the shipyard that appeared in the distance. Compared to the Beihai Shipyard he bought, the shipyard in front of him is five times bigger! It is conceivable that if there is no order, it will cost more money every day. Even if the Ukrainian government intends to support it, it will probably be difficult to reverse its decline.
