What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 102 More money is needed

Shi Juzhu was very surprised.

Even his loyal follower, the veteran who served as his driver, didn't believe it.

Although Giant Group is facing a huge crisis, although the capital chain has been stretched to an extreme level, and although the entire group is struggling between life and death.

But after repeated success, they believed that the Giant would not fall. The Giant Group, the number one in the country, had just encountered a little setback. With just a little support, it could stand up again and return to the top.

Tang Wen's words were too alarmist. A shipyard director in Goose City couldn't possibly know the inside story of Giant Group—because they themselves didn't understand it. When had Giant Group's reputation improved? But did this prove that it was about to collapse?
"What I see is that Giant Group has no core technology that can serve as its foundation, and no valuable physical assets. It is just a paper giant. If even one person doesn't believe in it and pokes at it, it will collapse."

Tang Wen bluntly told the truth, and Shi Juzhu's driver opened his mouth to refute:
"Giant Group leads the nation in computer sales. We were the first to bring the intelligence-enhancing DHA molecule to the Chinese people. With over 30 products and a nationwide sales network, no one dares to look down on Giant Group."

Tang Wen spread his hands and said, "Okay, let's make a small bet. If the Giant Building still continues to be built next year, I will pay you one million."

The driver was about to agree, but Shi Juzhu raised his hand to stop him.

He looked at the latter in disbelief, his heart pounding.

Shi Juzhu looked at Tang Wen. At first glance, he could tell that he was just a wealthy student who had never seen the complexity of society. However, his judgment about the Giant Group was unexpectedly accurate, which even made him accept the fact.

This seemingly simple young man saw through almost everything, which made him suddenly realize that the Giant Group seemed to be made of paper and was always walking on the edge of a tightrope.

But that's just how it is in this era. If he hadn't bet that Hanka would sell well, there would be no Giant Group.

Now the stakes are just a little bigger, why can't he win?

Perhaps because he was facing a young man under 20 years old, Shi Juzhu said with some dissatisfaction:

"Giant Group has come this far not by luck or support, but by experimenting with a brand-new business model that will remain unique as long as it exists."

Shi Juzhu's personal charm came into play again, and the driver next to him immediately looked admiring.

Tang Wen: "..."

I opened the car door, got in, and prepared to run back to check the BBS.

Tang Wen moved smoothly, not wanting to waste any more time. However, one of his hands pressed firmly on the car window.

Shi Juzhu used great courage to complete this action. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to 10 years ago, when he had just joined the unit and mustered up the courage to try to ask his leader to go to Shenzhen to spend 5 yuan to buy a computer.

He had a hunch that this young man was extraordinary.

"Giant Group is definitely not completely useless. I believe there must be something about it that is worth your admiration."

Coincidentally, there really isn’t one.

Tang Wen thought that Giant Group was just a hodgepodge, and it would be really scary to get caught up in it. The most valuable thing was actually Shi Juzhu's brain.

But he didn't dare try to recruit such a subordinate, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to sleep well.

But at this moment, something did flash through his mind, and he stopped starting the engine and driving away.

He thought of Mou Qizhong, who was as famous as Shi Juzhu, the one who wanted to blow up the Himalayas and let the warm current blow into the west to create the Jiangnan outside the Great Wall.

Tang Wen looked at Shi Juzhu outside the window and said something that completely baffled him:

"I'll give you 10 million. Help me promote a concept and let it be known to thousands of households." Shi Juzhu immediately realized that Tang Wen wanted to pay him to do work for him, but he was not angry. Instead, he calmly thought about what Tang Wen wanted to sell.

A shipyard? It must be ships. What kind of ships does he want to sell, and who wants to buy them?
"What's the concept?"

Tang Wen: "This new modern naval tactic, centered around arsenal ships, uses powerful electronic jamming capabilities and saturation attacks to defeat the strong with the weak and outnumber the many. Compared to traditional aircraft carrier strike groups, it requires less investment and can establish an effective defense circle at a fraction of the cost."

Shi Juzhu: (O_o)??
For the first time, clear stupidity appeared in Shi Juzhu's eyes. Knowing human nature well, he suddenly realized that he was not brave enough, and the so-called adventures and gambles he had taken before were not worth mentioning.

If he heard correctly, Tang Wen was planning to take the warship?
My goodness, Mou Qizhong only dared to exchange canned food for a few broken passenger planes, and you, a small private shipyard, dared to touch this stuff!
Shi Juzhu silently withdrew his hand, only to find that he was also a rookie.

Tang Wen: "What do you think? Are you afraid?"

Shi Juzhu clenched his fists. The 10 million was too hot to handle. The benefits were totally disproportionate to the risks.

Could it be that Giant Group really needs this 10 million investment?

"I want 20 million."

……

Tang Wen admitted that Shi Juzhu was definitely a master at understanding human nature, but everyone has weaknesses.

Judging from Shi Juzhu's insistence on not seeking any financing loans from banks, he is a very confident and even conceited person.

The giant's arrogance comes from the business myth of hundreds of millions, and then Tang Wen brought out the real killer weapon.

The hype about the arsenal ship is naturally a preparation for selling the warship, otherwise Tang Wenzhen would have to set up a stall at the entrance of the General Armament Department to sell it himself.

And this idea cannot be said to be wrong. The later Type 055 has largely implemented this route.

现在还是96年，全国上下哪怕普通人都在思考怎么战胜强敌，过几年还会发展出8架歼8大战1架F22的决死突击思想。

After witnessing the huge gap in weapons between China and foreign countries, the domestic strategic thinking for a long time was:
I have so much equipment and I can't kill them all at once.

Arsenal ships fit this idea quite well: although their electronic technology is backward, their huge hulls can be equipped with very heavy radar and jamming systems, gaining an advantage by piling up weight through brute force, and then overwhelming the enemy fleet with countless missiles.

Tang Wen hypothesized that if the Yamato was modified into a missile battleship, it could roughly hold 600 missile craters. If one crater held two missiles or even four missiles, the enemy's entire fleet would not be able to intercept them all even if they used up all their ammunition. This would definitely require a lot of strength to create a miracle.

Isn't it a great deal that a missile cruiser/battleship can fight against a multi-strike formation consisting of aircraft carriers, destroyers, carrier-based aircraft, and frigates?

Even if we cannot fight against it, as long as we can effectively contain it, it will be a huge victory.

With a limited budget, by utilizing the old ship hulls provided by Gaijin to maintain a small fleet, the current regional defense vacuum can be greatly improved.

Tang Wen just didn't believe that the navy wouldn't be tempted?
As for handing it over to Shi Juzhu, it was considered making the best use of his resources. He believed that the other party's ability was worth 20 million.

Of course, Tang Wen only gave a two million advance payment, because this person's credibility was really bad, and he would really run away if he was paid in advance.

Giant was also very skilled in selling pre-sale properties. Before building the Giant Building, he sold 1.2 million yuan of properties, torturing the creditors to the point of ecstasy.

However, in addition to Shi Juzhu, Tang Wen also plans to make efforts himself.

"Full-band Blocking Interference", it's your turn!
