Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Package a Fleet (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_1

Wang Ye’s two objectives are easy to understand and very clear.

If Wagner Security Company wants to grow and expand, in order to take on all sorts of overseas businesses in the future, it must build a reputation.

Having a private fleet would be more effective than any amount of money spent on advertising!

At that time, if any potential clients need something and want to collaborate with an international security company, they only need to compare.

Wow, Wagner Security Company even has its own fleet, including a cruiser of ten thousand tons!

And what about other security companies? They have to ride passenger ships to go out to sea for missions.

Is there even any comparison?

The difference is clear!

So, once this fleet is established, it will become a signboard, an advertisement for Wagner Security Company!

As for the second point, it is a consideration from a practical perspective.

After some big purchases a few days ago, Wagner Company now owns various infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and even heavy equipment like light tanks.

But when executing overseas tasks, you have to consider how to transport this equipment there!

It can’t be expected to rent a cargo ship to take it there...

Therefore, it becomes very necessary to own their own maritime transport tools, or even maritime armed forces.

Imagine if in the future there is a need to go on a mission in a small country in Africa or the Middle East, just drive heavy equipment like armored vehicles directly onto an amphibious landing ship or a transport ship, then a fleet made of cruisers, destroyers, and supply ships escort and serve as maritime logistics bases.

Then, there is no place in the vast world where they cannot go!

Without exaggeration, Wagner Company will have the power to eliminate a whole country!

Of course, the premise is not to provoke the superpowers...

...

Petrov nodded and responded, "I understand, Boss. Our targets are very clear. The ten-thousand-ton cruiser is the core of our fleet, and we can purchase supporting warships around this cruiser. For example, pairing it with two small destroyers and frigates can form a decent fleet. In addition, we can buy several more supply ships and amphibious landing ships."

In this way, after their discussions, they determined what ships they should purchase from the Black Sea Shipyard.

A large supply ship, two destroyers of four-thousand-tons, two frigates of around two-thousand-tons, five large dock landing ships!

It’s worth mentioning that the five large dock landing ships are very substantial, usually more than ten thousand tons.

But it’s pretty much the same as a transport ship, not expensive to build and doesn’t require any fire control system.

Of course, this is just Wang Ye’s plan.

Whether they could buy all these warships depended on whether the Black Sea Shipyard could provide them, and must be provided in a short time.

Preferably the ones that are nearly built...

Otherwise, they would have to start from scratch, and who knows how long they would have to wait!

Wang Ye doesn’t dare to expect much of the current Russians’ work efficiency...

Especially since the Black Sea Shipyards are on the brink of bankruptcy, giving them money to build ships could potentially risk them misusing the money.

As for the ships, it’s not unlikely that they could drag on for ten or even more years.

Third Brother has had personal experience with this...

Wang Ye plans to see when he arrives at the shipyard whether there are any ships that are almost or half built that meet his requirements.

If there are, needless to say, as long as the price is right, he can directly take it!

...

At the Black Sea Shipyard, the former director, Makarov, gathered the senior managers early in the morning.

They were assigned tasks.

Some were assigned to organize the retained workers to clean the plant area... well, the plant area is too large, just clean the office building and the dock area.

Some were assigned to organize the documents, and sort out all the information of the various warships being built in the shipyard, because according to the old director, a big client would be visiting today.

While others were sent by the former director to guard the factory gate, and to notify everyone to prepare to welcome the guests as soon as they arrived!

The Black Sea Shipyard is very large, covering an area of more than two million square meters, it’s practically a small city!

At its peak, there were as many as thirty thousand workers in the factory, with family members included, nearly one hundred thousand people lived there.

Inside the factory, the total length of the fitting-out wharf is 2,675 meters, the total length of the roads is 29 kilometers, the total length of the railways is 49 kilometers, and there are a total of 2,100 cranes.

But ever since the former Soviet breakdown, the situation at the factory got worse with each passing day.

Down to the present, there are only four to five thousand workers left, mostly older workers.

As for the younger workers, they have mostly moved on to other job opportunities.

Only the former director and the old workers, as they are old and can’t leave this place, stayed behind.

By "selling off" the various assets in the factory, they barely manage not to starve...

As for resuming production and continuing to build large warships, they don’t even think about it!

One reason is that there are no new orders, another is that the brain drain is too severe, and they basically lack the ability.

...

After assigning tasks, the former factory director Makarov also directed a group of office staff to carefully clean the main conference room in the office building.

This was followed by preparing some fresh fruits and snacks.

Clearly, Makarov has great enthusiasm for the upcoming guests.

Because he knows that the guest who is coming is certainly super rich!

A few days ago, they bought the ten-thousand-ton cruiser from the factory. The price was twenty million US dollars and they didn’t even blink an eye!

This has already given Makarov a huge surprise.

Since 1991, the factory has not seen this amount of money...

Speaking of the aircraft carrier shell sold two years ago, although it was also twenty million US dollars, the money did not reach Makarov or go to the shipyard, but was taken away by the government.

However, the revenue from the sale of the cruiser Ulan went entirely to the shipyard.

Because the disposal rights for this ship had long been taken over by the shipyard, it’s clear that the government doesn’t want to see the Black Sea Shipyard completely collapse, but also has no extra money to give them.

So they simply gave the shipyard the right to sell the ships that were not yet complete. If the shipyard can sell them, the money will belong to the shipyard.

That includes the ten-thousand-ton cruiser, Ulan...

Luckily, this cruiser, which has been under construction for over a decade, finally found a buyer, and at a good price!

The old factory director hasn’t snapped back to reality these few days. The twenty million US dollars in his hand feels a bit hot, he doesn’t know how to spend it!

Then good news came again, the boss of the previous big buyer is going to visit in person. If it goes well this time, they aren’t buying just one ship, but a whole fleet...
