Chapter 1307: Huh? Aircraft carrier’s technologies?!

Chapter 1312 – Huh? Aircraft carrier’s technologies?!

Feng Yu thought since China has its considerations about weapons, he does not need to worry about it anymore. But he received a call from Hou Haitao.

“Manager Feng, why are you still awake at this time?”

“Old Hou, what’s wrong? Did the higher management mention anything?” The time zone in Beijing and New York is very different. It’s night in New York and morning in Beijing.

“Are you talking about that matter? Nothing has changed. The higher-ups had their considerations, and the US had belittled us. Do they think they can block us from this trade? Many countries in the world don’t care about the US.” Hou Haitao replied.

That’s right. The US claims to have the world’s no.1 military, but why are they still under attack? Also, why didn’t the US win their current war after so long?

The US might not even win against Russia now.

“Then why are you calling me now?”

Feng Yu does not think Hou Haitao is calling him to chat, as they are that close to call each other so often.

“Manager Feng, I remember you are close to a Russian, who is Europe’s Richest Man. We had bought the aircraft technical drawings from him in the past, right?”

“Are you talking about Kirilenko? That’s right. We are good friends and are partners in many of our businesses. He is the one who helped me get my first pot of gold.” Feng Yu recalls the time when he sold the bear to Kirilenko.

Brother Ki should know that he had spent more for that bear, but he did not mention it even after becoming partners.

Even if Feng Yu told Kirilenko that the bear fur is only worth 100 Rubles, he would also laugh it off. Although Feng Yu had taken advantage of him then, he had made much more with Feng Yu’s help.

“Manager Feng, is Kirilenko’s that man’s son?” Hou Haitao mentioned Kirilenko’s father’s name.

“That’s right. What’s wrong?” China and Russia’s relationship had improved recently, and there should be no tensions. Why is Hou Haitao asking about this?

“Will Kirilenko’s father listen to him? I heard he has another son who is doing quite well.”

“Old Hou, go straight to the point. Are you thinking of asking Kirilenko for help or his father?”

“Kirilenko might not help in this matter, but he is suitable to be the middleman. You should have heard that our country had just bought an obsolete aircraft carrier from that Macau businessman, who had wanted to turn it into a floating casino.”

Feng Yu rolled his eyes. Everyone can tell that was just a front. Do they think he is an idiot to believe these lies?

Does a floating casino need to be so big? Also, why did they sell it to the Chinese Military at the same purchase price? That was four years ago, and even if they don’t include inflation, they should also include the interests.

That’s right. This empty hulk might be old, but it’s a bit of a problem for them to sell it. Furthermore, the original price is only a front, and China had paid much lesser than that.

But the Casino King had benefited from it. The Chinese government had wanted to introduce a law forbidding Chinese nationals to gamble in Macau as it is still considered part of China. But now, they did not bring it up again.

This deal had protected that Casino King’s casinos and also gained recognition from the higher-ups. After all, without his help, China will never get that aircraft carrier’s hulk.

China had tried to buy aircraft carriers in the past. The first aircraft carrier’s hulk they bought is an obsolete carrier from the UK, and they dismantled it once they got it.

The other two they bought are two former Soviet Union Kiev-class aircraft carriers. They arrived in China in 1998 and 2000 after much difficulty. But these two carriers are not refurbished.

These two carriers have heavy firepower and are a combination of cruiser and aircraft carrier. It also has anti-aircraft carrier missiles.

But the biggest issue with these two carriers is it needs the original carrier-based aircraft. The runways on these two carriers are too short because of their firepower, and China’s carrier-based aircraft cannot fly from it. In the end, they are dismantled after using it for training purposes a few times.

It was until China bought an aircraft carrier, Varyag, that can meet their demands. But they met lots of issues to get it.

This Varyag belonged to Ukraine originally, and Ukraine had reached a deal with China to sell it to them.

But the US intervened. If Ukraine doesn’t want to be sanctioned, all the weapons and equipment must be removed, leaving only the hulk.

Even if it’s the hulk, China still wants it for research purposes. But during transportation, the US stopped it again.

Turkey, which wanted to join NATO, had denied permission to pass through their waters and delayed it for more than one and a half years.

To get the hulk back, China spent more than 30 million USD, and the price of it is only 20 million USD. The transportation cost more than the hulk!

But Feng Yu knows this hulk will help China a lot. China can build its aircraft carrier is because of this hulk.

“Old Hou, isn’t that aircraft carrier brought back to China? Is the government still going to buy another one? I can sponsor some money if they want.” Feng Yu said generously. An aircraft carrier without any weapons only costs tens of million USD, and it is nothing to him!

“No., Manager Feng, I think you did not get it. We are not going to buy new carriers, and we need to learn the technology behind them. We still lack the technologies in this area. For example, the weapons and equipment which was removed from the carrier.”

Feng Yu is shocked. “Old Hou, are you asking me to buy these weapons and equipment technologies? You all think too highly of me. Those are weapons for aircraft carriers!”

Feng Yu had bought many technologies and equipment from the former Soviet Union in the past, but those are unimportant technologies. Even Kirilenko doesn’t dare to sell those important technologies.

It is more difficult now as Russia is under Putin. Those people who dare to do anything for money had either retired, migrated, or arrested. It’s hard to bribe those Russians now.

“Manager Feng, if it’s easy, why would I call you? Furthermore, Kirilenko’s family is very powerful. Even if we cannot get the weapon and equipment technologies, we can also buy the aircraft carrier’s basic technologies. This will save us a lot of time. Manager Feng, can you try asking for the sake of our country?”

Try? Feng Yu is troubled.
