Chapter 110: The aircraft carrier Varyag
"Hello, Mr. Mavie, welcome to visit our Black Sea Shipyard." The person in charge of receiving Mavie was a female officer with brown hair, wearing a female Ukrainian navy cap and a dark Ukrainian navy uniform. The rank was major.
Ma Wei glanced at her and found that the woman was very young and beautiful, and she was definitely less than 30 years old. At this age, she could reach the height of a major, which shows that her family background was very deep. Ordinary people who got into a major before the age of 35 have a bright future, let alone before the age of 30.
"Hello." Mawei said hello to the other party calmly. She knew that the woman must have some background. Otherwise, the military would not have sent a major to represent them to negotiate the transfer of the largest shipyard in Ukraine. At least it would have to be a colonel or a major general.
"Hello, you haven't asked me yet, where is my name? Mr. Mavie." The female officer said, smiling at Mavie.
If I hadn't seen so many Ukrainian navy with serious expressions standing behind her, Ma Wei would have thought that the other party was actually a good-looking actress and played an officer in front of her. His every frown and smile, coupled with the naval uniform she wore, would be absolutely lethal and tempting.
"What is your name?" Ma Wei asked casually as he spoke.
"Seknia Petrovic..." the woman said as she stretched out her bare hands, then gently held Mavie.
"Petrovic?" Mavie recalled the name carefully. If he remembered correctly, Petrovic was a Ukrainian admiral and his power was second only to that of the Marshal of the Armed Forces. No wonder this woman named Sekniya became a major at a young age. She turned out to have a very awesome father.
"Hello, Major Shekniya."
"Well, get in the car, I'll take you to visit our Black Sea Shipyard." Major Sekniya signaled to Mavie and got into her jeep. Then she unexpectedly didn't wait, and drove Mavie away without any waiting...
This scene made the bodyguard behind Mawei and the Ukrainian officials standing in front of him look at each other. They didn't expect such a stir in such a serious scene. They had not shaken hands with Mawei and greeted each other!
Mavi, who was sitting in the jeep, looked at Sheknia in the driver's seat curiously. Unexpectedly, this time when he came to Ukraine, he actually met a very interesting person. He just didn't know where she was going to take her.
The military jeep was at the shipyard for about ten minutes. Sheknia carried Mavie to a giant dry dock. "Mr. Mavie, this is our Black Sea shipyard. Nearly 67% of the Varyag aircraft carrier has been completed. Since 1991, it has been forced to shut down due to construction funds interruption. The same is true for another Ulyanrovsk nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which has been shut down less than two years since its start."
As she said, she opened the car door and walked out first. Judging from the expression on her face, she was less graceful and more solemn. She was obviously very worried about Ukraine's current shipbuilding industry.
Mavi sat in the car and looked at the half-finished Varyag aircraft carrier in front of him. The giant thing in front of him was the predecessor of the "Liaoning aircraft carrier". However, in this life, it is still lying in the Black Sea dock, waiting to be redeemed...
Before Mavie could speak, she heard Seknya, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke to Mavie, "Mr. Mavie, I know you are bound to win the Black Sea Shipyard in Ukraine. So why not just offer a price?"
Shekniya's gentle voice echoed in the empty dock. She did not turn around as she spoke, but looked at the Varyag quietly.
She had sent people to know about Mavie for a long time, knowing that he was the boss behind the Beihai Shipyard and had recently had ship deals with India. In terms of his business ability, I believe that the Black Sea Shipyard should be able to reverse some decline when it comes to his hands.
The Ukrainian Navy is reluctant to give up their ace shipyard. Unfortunately, the domestic economy is getting worse and they can no longer afford to support the giant shipyard of 2 million square meters. Instead of watching it get worse every day, it is better to find someone who can operate it and cooperate with it.
This will not only drive economic growth, but also reduce the domestic unemployment rate. More importantly, the Ukrainian navy can maintain their ship strength. Otherwise, if the shipyard goes bankrupt, it will definitely be a fatal blow to their navy.
"Please offer?" Mawei seemed to have guessed the other party's meaning, so he did not say his own offer. Instead, he asked, "Major Seknya, your Ukrainian Navy is willing to sell the Black Sea Shipyard with all shares?"
"It depends on how much you are willing to pay, Mr. Mavie." Sheknia said, turning around, then looked at Mavie with a smile. The meaning in her eyes was hard to figure out.
Ma Wei knew that it was definitely unrealistic for Quanjin to control Heishui Shipyard. The other party simply wanted to get his price, so he felt very confident.
So Mavie said to Major Sekniya directly, "100 million US dollars, this is my offer."
As he finished speaking, Seknia, who was standing in front of him, suddenly put away her smile and replied to Mawei, "100 million US dollars, it's impossible, Mr. Mawei. You seem a bit too ridiculous, right?"
"The price of 100 million US dollars is too vain. Isn't it a joke if the entire shares are sold for the Black Sea Shipyard? Major Sekniya?" Mawei asked back in a tit-for-tat way. Now he has met Russian lieutenant general and Indian lieutenant general. So a beautiful major general really can't scare him.
After hearing Mawei's rebuttal question, Major Sekniya was silent and said nothing. He originally wanted to grab Mawei's braid and give him a warning. But in the end, he got it.
"Mr. Mawei, since that's the case, I won't go around the circle. Everyone understands it. The price of 100 million US dollars just now can only buy half of our Black Sea Shipyard," Major Sekniya said to Mawei tentatively.
Selling shares is small, saving the Black Sea Shipyard is big, and Ukrainians think very well. So they won’t make too much trouble for their partners, so they won’t scare people away when they are in a hurry.
"Only half of the shares are available for 100 million US dollars?" Ma Wei asked repeatedly.
