"52 bulk carriers, 11 container ships, 7 oil tankers, 4 roll-ro-ships, ahem, there are 19 ocean-going fishing boats? 4 ice storage ships? There are actually 2 supply ships? Kent, let's forget about fishing boats, haha, why do you think I want those military supply ships?" Jing Jian joked with Kent beside him with a smile.

The catalog provided by Andre was a dazzling array of content, and the content covered almost made Jing Jian drop. It is no exaggeration to say that most of the items inside were military products? Andre even hinted through Ilitsev that there are no obstacles in light weapons, and even heavy weapons such as fighter jets, tanks and missiles are not unrelated.

Of course, Jing Jian smiled after seeing the arms, but he had to admire Andre and others' boldness. Well, Jing Jian actually knew that the management of military supplies after the collapse of the Soviet Union was out of control, but he didn't expect that the out of control actually happened so early, and the scale at the beginning was so surging.

In fact, the reason is not complicated. Since the Soviet Union was preparing to withdraw troops from Eastern Europe on a large scale, in the past, in order to prepare for the world war, the massive amount of materials stored in Eastern Europe bases had to be dealt with. Of course, some important materials were withdrawn back to the Soviet Union, but some of the materials that were not light or heavy were useless. It was not cost-effective to transport them back, and the group of Eastern European ungrateful wolves were left cheaper.

Moreover, after the Afghan War, the Soviet Union carried out a certain "collective smear" against the Soviet army from top to bottom, which was very similar to the anti-war thoughts in Europe and the United States during the Vietnam War. This was simply devastating to the morale of Soviet officers and soldiers. You should know that the United States still boasted that "American soldiers saved all mankind", and the Soviet Union did not even have this.

Therefore, the Soviet army was discriminated against everywhere. Although it was not as good as after the disintegration and could not even guarantee wages, the previous treatment of "Soviet Army first" instantly plummeted. For example: the Soviet army withdrew from the Soviet Union, they did not even arrange their barracks in time and were placed in a horse shed? Do you dare to believe this?

The result was self-evident. The Soviet army's military discipline fell like an avalanche, and a large-scale, organized power-money transaction began. Fortunately, the Soviet Union had not yet disintegrated at this time, and the last fig leaf was left. Therefore, on the surface, the transaction with Jingjian was fair, with an average tonnage of more than 10,000 tons (excluding those fishing boats). The average age of this batch of ships with an average age of about ten years was more than 500 million rubles (if the ruble price was converted to US dollars at this time, it would be more than 300 million US dollars).

In addition, Andre and his team will organize a batch of about 20 new ships with a ship age of less than five years to invest in Jingjian. This time, there is no need for money, just establishing a new shipping company called "Keng", and the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank will take up 30% of the shares as a representative of the Soviet side.

The actual situation is this: the first batch of ships were "handled internally" by Andre and others, while the next batch was really unprocessable, so they simply set up a link shipping company to promote "Sino-Soviet-US friendship" to the outside world (Andre insisted on adding the United States because one of the shareholders' standard logistics is an American company), and also gave a strong reason internally.

Jing Jian actually didn't care how Andre and others operated it. He was happy that the loan was finally settled and part of it was invested effectively. After all, the Soviet Union had the largest merchant fleet and fishing fleet in the world at this time, and these ships could be used as long as they could be used.

"Kent, I admit that we are in trouble. We didn't even use half of the loan amount." Jing Jian joked.

Indeed, compared to that huge loan, such a big deal turned into a drizzle. Interestingly, in the last package agreement, although the automobile factory project had ended, the other fertilizers, non-ferrous metals and other Soviet Union still gave Jingjian the export quota. Therefore, all of them were added together, the loan finally used up more than 700 million rubles. Thankfully, it was finally nearly half.

Kent smiled and said, "Sir, then buy another boat? I heard from Iritsev that the price is actually quite good. He complained that you are too generous in taking action."

At this time, the world's Shanghai transportation market was still weak, so Jing Jian's buying price was quite fair. Of course, not only was the fair price, but Andre gave Andre 1 million US dollars in private, and more than 5 million US dollars in other related parties. This even made Andre and others embarrassed. Therefore, in this transaction, they also gave a lot of supplies and signed a 30-year lease contract for three military and civilian dual-purpose terminals in Poland and East Germany.

Jing Jian smiled and shook his head: "I'll talk about this later."

This time, the decision to buy a ship was nothing more than emergency rescue. From an economic perspective, these cargo ships in the Soviet Union were too low in efficiency and were very cost-effective, which was not very cost-effective. Of course, if a huge merchant fleet was established in the short term, there was only one at present. In addition, in a few years, these former Soviet merchant ships were all "scrapped iron". Are you still afraid that there would be nowhere to buy it? There would be "scrapped iron" in the future, and it would become the Liaoning as you buy it.

Moreover, the approval of the export quota of that batch of materials gave Jing Jianxin hope. These scarce materials can be cashed out after being transferred, which can be said to be the better. Therefore, Jing Jian arranged for Andre to mobilize his own relationship to see if there is any possibility of increase?

Jing Jian ordered: "Those wharfs asked the Baron if you are interested? We can join the shares and give up the controlling rights."

Such a lease contract is actually very irregular. In theory, this is the Soviet military base in Eastern European countries. If the Soviet army withdraws, it should be returned to Eastern European countries for free. However, who still cares about the future? I don’t know what tomorrow will be like. Get cash first, who will win over those ungrateful wolves in Eastern Europe? The Soviet Union sold it and sold it. Jing Jian bought it and bought it. Therefore, if you want these contracts to take effect in the future, you still need a local tyrant like Baron Jung. Otherwise, you only need a contract lawsuit to make the crowd big.

Seeing that Kente's head agreed, Jing Jian continued to instruct: "Those fishing boats, supply boats, etc. will be delivered to Frossoya first. I have other arrangements. Contact Hong Kong's Skeleton Sea, the merchant ships we purchased before..."

In the end, Jing Jian found that the most suitable one was to buy a boat, and he was responsible for transportation. Of course, the fleet needs to be built sooner or later, and this time it happened.

Another thing that made Jing Jian more depressed - how to spend the loan as soon as possible? I really couldn't find any valuable investment. If it really didn't work, I had to continue buying a boat.
