Chapter 399 The old factory manager

Just as Makarov was working with a group of people, the phone rang.

"Director, the guests have arrived at the gate!"

This is a call from the office director sent by Makarov to greet the guests at the gate.

After receiving the call, Makarov immediately put down his work, called several other executives, and went downstairs together to prepare for the arrival of the big client.

A few minutes after they got downstairs, they saw a long convoy coming from a distance.

The all-white Land Cruiser has a dozen or so!

Before the convoy stopped, Makarov had a smile on his face and quickly walked up to meet him.

It is early January, the coldest time of the year.

Although the Black Sea shipyard is close to the sea, the temperature is not as cold as Russia and other parts of Ukraine, but it still reaches minus ten degrees.

And there was a lot of goose feather snow in the sky. After waiting downstairs for two or three minutes, a white layer of snow had fallen on the heads and shoulders of Makarov and others.

The convoy stopped, and there was a sound of "bang bang bang" opening and closing the door.

Among the people who came down, Makarov only knew Petrov, but his eyes were fixed on the young man next to Petrov.

Obviously, considering that Petrov is still one step behind the young man, and how all the stars are on the moon, if Makarov can't see who is the boss, then his factory manager for so many years will be in vain. !

Sure enough, Petrov introduced Makarov to the approaching Makarov: "Director Makarov, this is the boss of our Wagner Company, Mr. Mikhail! Boss, this is the Director of Makarov. Now, he has been the director of the Black Sea Shipyard for nearly 20 years, and he has a very high prestige in the factory!"

Wang Ye looked at Makarov, he was in his early sixties, with a medium build and slightly fat, his hair was already gray, he also wore a pair of glasses, his face was ruddy, and he looked very kind.

The right hands of the two were tightly clasped together, and Makarov also looked at the young man named Mikhail.

The Black Sea Shipyard is just a remote factory. The news is quite stagnant. In addition, the situation in the factory is not very good. The old factory manager worries all day about where to get some money to support the workers in the factory. Naturally, he does not care about Russia. political news.

Therefore, he does not know about Mikhail, the Duma member who has been in the limelight recently.

But there are some things that Makarov still knows. For example, this Wagner security company definitely has a military background!

Because when Petrov came to talk about buying the Ulan 10,000-ton cruiser for the first time, some military bosses from the Ukrainian country greeted Makarov, saying that this company has a Russian military background. , more reliable, you can safely sell warships to them.

This is normal too, this is a cruiser after all!

If you don't know the background of the buyer, Makarov would not dare to sell it indiscriminately. If he sells it to someone who shouldn't sell it, he will be blamed in the future...

Therefore, according to the information Makarov has, his impression of Mikhail is: a strong background, a deep relationship with the Russian military, extraordinary financial resources, and generous shots!

Of course, seeing Mikhail so young, Makarov naturally regarded him as the second generation of a big boss...

But no matter what Mikhail's background is, Makarov only knows one thing, that is, as long as he is willing to pay for his own boat, he is a good man!

After some greetings, Makarov warmly greeted Wang Ye and his party into the office building.

Under his leadership, Wang Ye took a brief look at the headquarters building of the Black Sea Shipyard. The important departments in the factory were basically concentrated in this building.

The main thing to visit is naturally the showroom.

In this large room, various large warships built by the Black Sea Shipyard have corresponding models here.

The most conspicuous position is naturally the aircraft carriers built by the Black Sea Shipyard!

Makarov introduced with pride:

"One of the major innovations in our shipyard is to streamline the construction of aircraft carriers based on the large-scale construction method.

Next to the hull that has been renovated, a platform with an area of more than 18,000 square meters and a carrying capacity equivalent to the slipway is built separately.

When the construction of the first aircraft carrier is carried out on the slipway, the general assembly of the second aircraft carrier will be carried out on this platform in parallel. When the final assembly of the previous aircraft carrier is completed and outfitted, it will be used to assemble several general sections of the next aircraft carrier. It has been assembled on the platform and sent to the newly vacated slipway for hoisting.

This method has greatly improved the mass production efficiency of aircraft carriers. In the 1970s, this new method was first applied to the construction of the last two ships of the Kyiv-class aircraft carrier.

In 1978, the final assembly of the Novorossiysk was completed and launched. At the same time, the Baku also completed the general assembly, and was hoisted by a crane on the slipway vacated by the Novorossiysk. By 1982, the Novorossiysk was completed. After the sea trial, the Baku was also completed and launched. It took an average of two and a half years from the start of construction to the launch of each ship.

At its peak, every three years, we could build an aircraft carrier!

In fact, without his introduction, Wang Ye also knew that the Black Sea Shipyard was once brilliant.

But unfortunately, it has now declined because of poor...

For the aircraft carrier, Wang Ye has no idea for now. In fact, if he really wants to do it, he can really get it!

But the question is, what will it be used for after getting it?

Needless to say, the maintenance cost of an aircraft carrier is high, and generally smaller countries cannot afford it!

And it's just a naked aircraft carrier, it's completely useless, you need to equip it with fighter jets, that's another sky-high cost!

Besides, technicians who can control aircraft carriers and pilots who drive carrier-based aircraft are top talents in any country. Even in Russia, it is estimated that it is difficult to find suitable people.

So first build a 10,000-ton cruiser, and then add some frigates, destroyers, etc. to form a small fleet, which is already the best solution that Wangye can afford.

After the tour, everyone came to the conference room and sat down.

Makarov first gave a welcome speech, and then asked eagerly: "May I ask Mr. Mikhail to come here this time, is there any procurement goal? As long as it is the existing ships in our factory or what we can build , you can bring it up! Of course, with the strength of our shipyard, everything from frigate transport ships to aircraft carrier cruisers can be built!"

He is just bragging...

Maybe the shipyard had this capability in the past, but now, if nothing else, it is impossible to build an aircraft carrier.

The technicians and skilled workers in the factory have also lost too much...
