1893 Controversy at the top of the Black Sea Shipyard(1/2)
The Black Sea Shipyard was eventually dead and went bankrupt.
Xie Kai knows the future of this shipyard.
I don’t know if the bankrupt shipyard was eventually acquired by the Chinese shipyard.
After all, in that critical era, he had left and came to this great era.
As long as you can't get this order, the future of this shipyard will not change in the end.
Xie Kai did not want this factory with aircraft carrier construction capabilities to die in the long river of history, so he gave them a chance.
Opportunities are fleeting, and if the senior leaders of the Black Sea Shipyard themselves are unwilling to do so, they will not have any opinions.
At worst, spend more money and time in China, and slowly develop technology by yourself.
When the Black Sea Shipyard goes bankrupt, nothing can be done.
It’s just a pity that by then, the various technical information of the Black Sea Shipyard had been behind for decades and had no more value.
"Everyone, let's talk about your own opinions. The other party's attitude is very obvious. I want all the technical information of our two aircraft carriers. If you give it or not, you will talk about your own opinions."
After Xie Kai made clear his meaning, the senior executives of the Black Sea Shipyard sat together for a meeting.
Makarov looked at the top leaders of the entire shipyard and looked at them with a serious expression.
He can't make decisions on such a big thing.
Even in normal times, he was the one who made the decision on the entire shipyard.
"The factory should not make a decision on this matter, and you need to apply to the government..." As the chief construction engineer, Vinick is still very worried. "The factory does not have the right to deal with these things. Once we deal with it, the government will be dissatisfied..."
What he said was the truth.
The government's rights are definitely much higher than the entire Black Sea shipyard.
Back then, the Soviet Union was in the Black Sea Shipyard, which was responsible for the design and construction of the Red Navy's most peak surface ships, and could ignore the orders of the Ukrainian government.
Now the Soviet Union is gone, they belong to the Ukrainian government.
"We can't count on the government in this matter. Everyone knows what the business the government is currently contacting us is. In order to reach cooperation with the United States, the government will not hesitate to let us demolish the Ulyanovsk Ulyanovsk. The scrap steel was originally negotiated with 450 US dollars per ton. Now? If there is no other choice, we spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build aircraft carriers, and in the end we could not even recover 4 million US dollars!" Gankevic, the old director who has always rarely participated in factory affairs, spoke.
He retired more than ten years ago.
I will not interfere with the operation of this factory at all.
But now it's different.
The Black Sea Shipyard has reached the key to life and death.
No one can guarantee how to develop and gain a foothold in the market at present.
It is almost impossible to rely on the government to help the government build warships and aircraft carriers.
The reason why Gankevic is still here is because of his influence in the entire shipyard.
If it weren't for him, Makarov wouldn't have the chance to become the director of the Soviet Union's only aircraft carrier construction factory.
At many important moments, this old factory manager will attend the meeting.
"This is the case, but if the government does not agree, our cooperation with them will not be a legitimate transaction..." As the chief engineer of Varyag, Babic Valery has his own concerns. "After all the technical information is the government's assets and the factory has no right to deal with it."
His words made everyone silent.
That's the truth.
So far, the Ukrainian government has not handed over the two aircraft carriers to the factory for disposal.
The technical drawings and information of the two aircraft carriers will naturally not be handed over to the factory for processing.
This is the wealth of the factory and the foundation of the Black Sea Shipyard, but these materials are all state assets.
It turned out to be from the Soviet Union, but it was gone, and it should now be inherited by the Ukrainian government.
After all, the assets will be inherited by whoever the factory is in.
All the technical data of the Soviet Union were originally achieved through the joint efforts of all members of the entire alliance.
So far, most of the units in Russia have been inherited by the Russian government, and other countries cannot get involved.
The same is true for the Ukrainian government.
Even if Russia wants to obtain these aircraft carriers, it must reach an agreement with the Ukrainian government to deliver the funds to obtain them.
Now the governments of both sides are negotiating these heritages.
"There is no such thing. The government only considers the interests of the government, and it will not care about the life and death of the shipyard and the prospects of the shipyard. As the most advanced shipyard in the Soviet Union, we have the most advanced ship construction technology in the world. If we continue to follow the government's plan, where is our future?" Makarov's face became more serious.
prospect!
Black Sea Shipyards need a future.
"We are not ordinary shipyards, but also representatives of technology in the peak period of the Soviet Union. These technical assets belong to the country, yes. But this cannot only belong to the Ukrainian government, but the alliance! Now the alliance is gone..."
As the director of the Black Sea Shipyard, he has his own pride.
If even an aircraft carrier cannot be built, where does this pride come from?
"China is the largest socialist country now, and they also belong to the same camp as the alliance. Therefore, I personally tend to hand over a copy of the technical data to them..."
As the factory director, I expressed my views.
Now is the time for internal discussion, and there are no outsiders.
And no one will sell the interests of normal factories.
Unless, they don't care about the life or death of the shipyard.
Everyone looked at Makarov.
"Everyone actually knows that without a shipyard, we are nothing. The former Red Navy could no longer gallop on the global ocean. But the equipment we designed for the Red Navy should not be buried like this... This is the alliance's testimony to the peak technology, and it is also the only maritime equipment that can compete with the Western world, and is even stronger than their top-notch..."
Makarov has thought a lot these days.
Xie Kai said that although he did not give any affirmation on the surface, in fact, he knew it in his heart.
Xie Kai is right.
The alliance is gone, and the Red Navy is gone.
Russia inherited most of the alliance's technology and military strength, but because the economy has collapsed, it is impossible to support these equipment.
"Even without us, the Russian Navy does not even have the ability to overhaul aircraft carriers, let alone manufacturing. We do not have the ability to maintain the technology at the peak of the alliance, but we can find capable countries in the same camp to continue on our journey..."
The repeated remarks are hard to refute.
Others kept speculating on his words in their hearts.
The Red Navy is gone.
No one paid for the Black Sea Shipyard anymore.
The Ukrainian government cannot afford this money, everyone knows it.
"There is a problem that no one can avoid. If the shipyard wants to develop, it needs orders. Even if it is shifting from military ship design and construction to civil ship design and construction, it requires a lot of funds. Now, what we lack the most is funds... Opportunities are in front of us, and mysterious customers can provide us with orders for 6 freighters, which not only ensures that the funds we invested before will not be wasted, but also can get a large number of orders and give the factory more opportunities..."
Makarov emphasized.
Xie Kai promised that if there are drawings, he could consider taking over the orders for the six merchant ships that Norwegian Shipping Company broke the contract.
This is a huge order of hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Indeed, we have strong technical strength, but we need opportunities to prove us. The Black Sea Shipyard has a strong technical foundation. If it cannot be proved, telling the world that we also have first-class merchant ship construction experience and technology, we will not get any orders..."
As the chief construction engineer, Vinick knows more than anyone else about their background.
They already know what the Norwegians think.
The Norwegians said they were attracted by their technical foundation, but in fact they wanted to destroy their most powerful aircraft carrier construction capabilities.
The Ulyanovsk has been demolished and there is no chance to build it again.
Unless any country's navies are willing to spend billions of dollars to purchase such aircraft carriers.
A country that can give such funds basically has the ability to build itself.
Even if it is built, it is not even able to support it.
"What do you think, just say it. I hope to make my own efforts for the development of the shipyard..." Piotel Vasilyevich Balabier felt a faint feeling in his heart.
But he didn't want to say it out of his mouth.
That was a betrayal of the Ukrainian government.
He is Ukrainian.
Authentic Ukrainians.
"We give them the information in exchange for the development opportunities of the shipyard!" Makarov said gritting his teeth.
There are always some people in this world who need to make efforts for their dreams.
Faced with such an opportunity, he was unwilling to give up.
"The technical information belongs to the government..." Vinick was a little stunned for a moment.
To be continued...
