What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 108 Donation
Tang Wen carefully recalled the original world line. Xu should have purchased the aircraft carrier through a gambling company in 1998. The first bid was 2000 million US dollars, and he claimed that he would buy it and turn it into an entertainment facility.

Because according to the international environment at the time, the Black Sea Shipyard stated that aircraft carriers could not be used for military purposes.

But Xu Zengping only gave a deposit, so he said he did not have that much money and raised 2000 million US dollars from patriots.

Then the financial crisis hit and Xu went bankrupt.

The Black Sea Shipyard could not collect the money, and after the incident became a hot topic, the country happened to be in need of large ships, so it subsequently raised 8000 million US dollars and entrusted the operation to an intermediary. The Varyag was still registered under the name of Xu Zengping's company.

Xu Zengping owed more than 1 million yuan in debt, and the Varyag was auctioned off as an asset and purchased by the Navy.

Xu Zengping probably hadn't thought of this idea yet, so it was Shi Juzhu who first proposed this concept.

So - you are asked to promote arsenal ships, but you go and buy an aircraft carrier?

Tang Wen was 100% sure that Shi Juzhu had taken his money to do this, and he himself had absolutely no such idea.

What is the situation with Giant Group? Even if they sell it, they can’t buy the Varyag.

But buying an aircraft carrier as the group's headquarters... this idea is indeed very Shi Juzhui-like, and it is something he can come up with.

If someone else said it, people might not believe it, but if Shi Juzhu or Mou Qizhong said it, then it is possible. This is the current status of the two extraordinary people.

Although Giant Group was already in a precarious situation, Shi Juzhu's announcement of buying an aircraft carrier still caused a huge response.

According to the information collected by Ming Pao alone, there are two foundations willing to help Shi Juzhu raise funds.

Tang Wen still didn't know what Shi Juzhu was up to, but he knew that the latter would never intend to buy the Varyag, nor would he give up his Giant Group.

He strongly suspected that Shi Juzhu might want to use the Varyag as an excuse to raise funds, and then use the money to fill the holes in the Giant Group.

You have to know that he only gave a deposit of two million, but Shi Juzhu would raise far more than this figure once he raised money. Their transaction had no collateral and could be invalidated at any time.

What I said that day may have opened a new door for Shi Juzhu, and maybe he found a new track.

Tang Wen's face darkened and he immediately took out his cell phone to call Shi Juzhu.

I called for half a minute, but no one answered.

I dialed another number, and after a while, I heard Shi Juzhu's triumphant voice:
"Brother Tang, you have seen my tricks."

Tang Wen ignored his teasing and said in a deep voice:
"I don't know what you want to do, nor do I know if you still want to complete our deal, but I must warn you: the Varyag involves a lot of things, so don't go too far."

Tang Wen has studied that period of history. Since 92, the country has been negotiating and trying to purchase the Varyag, but has never been successful. There were six buyers at the same time.

If Shi Juzhu rashly jumped out to disrupt the situation, it would be fine if the matter was accomplished. However, if he angered the Black Sea Shipyard and caused it to refuse to trade with the domestic market again, the outcome would probably not be good.

This is not a lack of trust, but rather that Tang Wen knows him too well.

When Mou Qizhong exchanged canned food for an airplane, the whole country was shocked and he seemed to be very proud of it.

In fact, the 500 carloads of cargo from the Nanfang Group were all the worst and inferior products in the country. The kettles only had the inner liner, and the quality of other canned textiles was also surprisingly poor.

Big Brother was fooled, and was left with a bad impression that the country was full of unscrupulous businessmen making shoddy products, which had a profound impact on many subsequent bilateral trades.

However, Shi Juzhu didn't seem to care about Tang Wen's reminder at all. He laughed and said:

"Don't worry, I value credibility the most, which is why I have so many brothers around me. You will get what you want.

By the way, I heard that Gaijin can build airplanes?"

Tang Wen raised his eyebrows and became alert: "That's the case."

"Great, how about this? Give me a plane and I'll trade you a cabinet server to prevent your website from crashing."

"What do you want to do?"

"To do something big, of course!"

...Shuangyashan University.

A large group of students gathered under the tree outside the cafeteria.

The root cause of all this was the newspaper that published Shi Juzhu's "bold words".

College students are always the most practical, enthusiastic and energetic group.

When the news of purchasing an aircraft carrier reached the campus, many people spontaneously came out to discuss it.

The most important point is whether Giant Group has money.

"Giant Group is so big, it must be worth at least several billion, right? It's definitely more than enough to buy an aircraft carrier."

"The Varyag wasn't built yet, how can we get it back?"

"My next computer will be a Giant. This is the spirit of Chinese products!"

"..."

The students were noisy, mostly boys.

Compared to the original 98 year, the impact caused by two years in advance is actually greater.

After the exercise that lasted from last year to the first half of this year ended, how much impact did it have on people in the country?

Just this year, a tobacco and liquor store owner in Xuchang and two friends scraped together 2 yuan, drove a truck to Beijing, and looked for places to donate money to build an aircraft carrier for the country.

However, when a few people arrived in Beijing, they had no idea where to donate, so they slept on the streets until they were discovered by reporters.

2 yuan is not even enough to cover the fuel cost for an aircraft carrier, but it was almost all the money this tobacco shop owner could scrape together, and it soon attracted an interview from reporters.

Facing the camera, the tobacco shop owner said that the country must develop aircraft carriers and called on individual business owners across the country to donate money.

This person later returned to his hometown and founded Pang Donglai.

In fact, from this year to 2000, the most common thing the relevant units did was to return the donations they received and then write thank-you letters one by one.

Don't say that people are unpatriotic. They know the importance of the navy most deeply and have unimaginable enthusiasm for it.

But people also know that with the country's current capabilities, it will take a long time to build an aircraft carrier.

Shi Juzhu roared, letting everyone know immediately that there was an aircraft carrier that was about to be built, and buying it would strengthen the navy.

What else can I say? Buy it!
Even 8 million shirts are needed to buy a passenger plane, and 12 billion people can't even afford to buy an aircraft carrier?
Even without anyone's guidance, the students' conversation quickly turned to donating money, and many people expressed on the spot their willingness to send money to Giant Group to raise funds.

Outside the crowd, Guo Panpan shook her best friend Yan Jing's hand and said:
"Stone Giant wants to buy an aircraft carrier, and I think we should donate some as well."

Alumni associations are very popular in universities nowadays. Guo Panpan and Yan Jing are classmates, and they take care of each other in college and have a closer relationship.

Yan Jing: "I'll donate 100, and you can donate 20."

Thanks to selling her grandfather's collection of books, Yan Jing still had a lot of spare money even after buying a Walkman, and was much richer than Guo Panpan.

The two girls lined up at the back of the crowd and put the money on a table. The enthusiastic classmates behind the table wrote down the names and amounts.

This money will be sent in the name of Shuangyashan University. It is raised entirely by students who have organized themselves spontaneously, and a considerable amount has been raised in a short period of time.

After the donation was completed, Guo Panpan couldn't help but say:

"Once we buy the aircraft carrier, we shouldn't be bullied anymore."

But beside her, Yan Jing, who had been influenced by her since childhood, shook her head worriedly:
"Aircraft carriers are very expensive, and even more expensive to operate. Buying them requires a lot of money to build a frigate fleet, which costs even more than buying the aircraft carrier itself."

"But even if there's only one aircraft carrier, it would be fine."
