Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

"So Uzbekistan can safely sell such an advanced warship to a private company like us?" Wang Ye asked puzzledly.

This is also a problem. If Damao wants to buy that cruiser now, as long as the price is negotiated, there may not be any problem.

After all, at this time, the relationship between Da Mao and E Mao was relatively good, and the head of E Mao's side was also pro-Russian.

But Wagner Security Company is only a private company after all. How can one safely sell such a large-scale murder weapon to a private company?

Petrov smiled and said confidently: "This problem is actually not big. Boss, haven't you noticed that the Varyag aircraft carrier was also sold to a private company! Since aircraft carriers can be sold to private individuals, Why can’t a cruiser do it?”

Wang Ye was a little surprised. He had indeed forgotten this detail. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really the case.

It is said that the Varyag aircraft carrier was indeed purchased by a private company, saying that it was going to buy it back and transform it into an entertainment facility such as a maritime playground.

If he talks in the same name here, maybe he can really succeed.

But here comes another problem.

He asked: "If we buy it in a private name, it will be impossible to have all the fire control facilities and equipment on the cruiser. Is it useful to buy an empty shell?"

Petrov shook his head,

“It’s naturally impossible to be equipped with missiles and the like, but the basic facilities are still there.

Besides, our security company doesn't need those kind of air-to-surface missiles. A naval gun or something like that is enough.

In addition, a large cruiser of this tonnage can park armed helicopters on it, which is enough for self-protection.

Even if we need to be equipped with heavy firepower devices in the future, that doesn't matter. Just let the domestic shipyards transform it.

The most important thing now is to get that ship back!

Such a good thing is something you can only encounter but cannot ask for, and it will be built soon! "

After listening to Petrov's explanation, Wang Ye was really moved.

That's a 10,000-ton ship, or a cruiser...

Compared with luxury yachts, cruise ships, etc., this kind of cruiser is a true man's romance!

In the future, when I meet a rich man showing off his wealth to me and bragging about how big and luxurious his yacht is, I just need to smile lightly and let him see his "big guy". I guess the other person will shut up immediately and have nothing to say...

Wang Ye no longer hesitated and said simply: "Then let's follow up on this matter quickly. As long as the price is right, we will buy it! We just happened to have purchased a batch of armed helicopters, which can come in handy. By the way, this kind of Ships need professionals to operate them, do we have such people?"

"Don't worry about this. I will recruit in advance. There are many people who have retired from the Navy. Besides, even if you buy this cruiser, the final assembly will take some time." Petrov said confidently.

"How much do we need to prepare to buy this? Don't worry, if someone else is willing to sell it and we don't have the money to buy it, it will be embarrassing." Wang Yexiao asked.

After thinking for a while, Petrov replied: "I guess it won't exceed 20 million US dollars. After all, we don't need many heavy-duty fire control systems, and it's not much different from buying an empty shell. And Varyag An aircraft carrier that big only costs 20 million US dollars, and the Ulan is only 11,200 tons, so the price won’t be too outrageous.”

Wang Ye was immediately relieved when he heard that it was only "such a small amount" of money.

To be honest, buying a 10,000-ton cruiser for 20 million is almost like picking it up for free!

For me, twenty million US dollars is really not a big amount of money...

In just a few words, the two of them decided the fate of a 10,000-ton ship!

If it weren't for the emergence of Wang Ye and Wagner Security Company, the fate of the Ulan cruiser would actually be quite miserable.

It has been parked at the Nikolayev Black Sea Shipyard. It was launched in the 1990s and completely stopped in 2001. Then until 2020, the ship is still parked there.

It was neither continued to be built nor sold.

Originally, Uzbekistan planned to demolish it, but after all the calculations, the demolition cost alone would cost tens of millions of dollars.

At that time, Uzbekistan had become the poorest country in Europe. There was no such spare money, so I just left it there...

The powerful warships that could be counted all over the world ended up not having the chance to sail a single nautical mile, and parked quietly in the dock for decades, and finally became a pile of scrap metal. This is too desolate.

………………

Soon, the plane landed at Simferopol Airport.

Just like last time, Wang Ye and his entourage got off the plane first under the leadership of the stewardess.

On the tarmac, the motorcade sent by Meshkov was already waiting there.

After quickly getting on the bus, the motorcade sped away from the airport and headed towards the city center along Simferopol's only central avenue.

The journey was very short, and with the police car clearing the way, there was no need to wait for the traffic lights, so we quickly arrived at our destination.

Compared with the last time, Wang Ye enjoyed higher treatment this time.

Because Meshkov stood directly outside the gate to greet him!

Except that there is no honor guard, this is simply the treatment of heavyweight foreign guests...

As soon as he got off the bus, Meshkov came up to him with a smile on his face and gave Wang Ye a warm hug.

He patted Wang Ye on the back and said enthusiastically: "Misha, you haven't been here for a long time. Last time you were in a hurry and returned to Moscow on the same day. Please stay a few more days this time. I can do that too." I’ll take you around and show you the wonderful scenery of our Crimean Peninsula.”

Obviously, when Wang Ye came last time, it was the first time the two of them came into contact, and they were not too familiar with each other.

But when they come back this time, the two have become partners with interests tied together!

Meshkov will naturally be very enthusiastic, and he also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to persuade Wang Ye to continue investing here.

Especially after the first meeting, Meshkov deliberately collected some information about Wang Ye.

Of course, his energy is not big enough to reach Moscow, so Meshkov doesn't know Wang Ye's true secret, that is, his dual identity.

But the information on the surface alone is enough to make Meshkov vigorously win over him!

Chairman of Kitty Eagle Group, President of New Sun Group, major shareholder of Polar Bear Investment Company, a rising star who has won the trust and appreciation of the Emperor!

To be honest, any one of these titles is no worse than Meshkov, the so-called "President"...

If identities could be exchanged, Meshkov would definitely want it!

Wang Ye also had a smile on his face and said, "I do plan to stay a few more days this time. I plan to buy a house in Simferopol. My girlfriend is also here. This place will be my home from now on."
