Travel through Hong Kong variety shows, starting with unlocking all kinds of beauties.

……

Time flies. When the "New World" opened, all the prominent figures in Hong Kong came to congratulate them. Those who couldn't attend sent gifts through their subordinates.

This immediately propelled the new world to new heights.

This is even more outrageous than TV stations crashing the network.

Time flies, and a month has passed since the business opened.

Zhou Jiaxin sat in her office on the sixth floor, flipping through reports, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The daily turnover on the first floor is 800,000.

The second floor, two million.

The third floor, five million.

The fourth and fifth floors, although they only have one hundred members, generate a billion yuan in annual fees alone.

With drinks, food and beverages, service fees, etc., the monthly turnover exceeded 300 million.

Net profit, conservatively estimated at 150 million.

She picked up the phone and dialed Dong Tianbao's number.

"Master Bao, the reports for this month are out."

"How is it?"

"Monthly revenue is 300 million, and net profit is 150 million."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft chuckle. "It's pretty much what I expected. The rest of the conversation will probably be about half as long."

"Starting next month, we'll have themed parties at the beginning and end of each month, with free-flowing beer."

Zhou Jiaxin smiled slightly, "Master Bao, you're leaving no way for others to survive!"

"Different consumption patterns won't affect others much. I'll leave work early tonight and call Bao Bao and Pei Yu... I have to hang up now."

Dong Tianbao hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

……

Two days later.

An extremely luxurious yacht departed Victoria Harbour.

An hour later.

Han Bin pushed a black envelope in front of Dong Tianbao, then waved to Gongzi Jun and the others.

Dong Tianbao also waved to Wu Ying and the others.

Their subordinates all left on their own.

With only the two of them left in the private karaoke room on the yacht, Han Bin turned on the music without hesitation.

Dong Tianbao frowned. "What's going on that you have to hide so far away? And even disperse them..."

"Brother Bao, do you want an aircraft carrier?" Han Bin whispered in Dong Tianbao's ear, interrupting him, and said, word by word.

Dong Tianbao stared at Han Bin with a completely bewildered expression.

I'm not a warlord, huh! It's like I'm already the biggest arms dealer in Southeast Asia...

Wait, what would I need an aircraft carrier for?

Besides, aircraft carriers aren't something you can just buy whenever you want.

Everyone in the world knows that, without using nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers are a weapon of moral blackmail, a supreme truth.

It's exactly like Confucius leading a group of tall, burly subordinates, shirtless, discussing the Analects with you...

The United States has never sold any aircraft carriers to any other country; the ones they sell to their own country are dismantled and sold separately.

Who the hell is more awesome than the US, selling off an aircraft carrier?

wrong!

And there really was one country that sold out its aircraft carrier—the Ukrainian one after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

But the timing is wrong!

The Varyag was auctioned off in 1998, not long after the Chinese New Year.

It's only 95 now, could it be earlier than expected?

Damn it, who cares if it's ahead of schedule or whatever!

If we can get our hands on it, China might be able to build an aircraft carrier a few years ahead of schedule.

"Brother Bin, is it because the Russians are putting pressure on the US, and Ukraine is facing economic problems, that they're preparing to sell the Varyag?" Dong Tianbao thought for a moment and then used the situation between the Russians and the US as a prelude.

Han Bin gave a thumbs up: "That's pretty much the situation."

Since the Russians and Ukraine are of the same lineage, the authorities turn a blind eye, allowing them to use whatever they want as long as it's not their own.

The United States was more direct; they didn't oppose the sale, but demanded that Ukraine remove all electronic equipment and weapon mounts from the ship, leaving only an empty shell.

"Ukraine is already facing an economic crisis. It costs over 100 million US dollars to dismantle an aircraft carrier, but the money from selling the parts is only about 10 million US dollars. Who would do such a losing business?"

Han Bin paused for a moment and then continued, "So Ukraine and the United States had a dispute for a while, and after negotiations, they removed the fire control, power system, radar, etc."

The United States then agreed to the auction, but issued a strict order that China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries were not allowed to participate.

Dong Tianbao smiled slightly after hearing this. This beautiful country is still the same as in his previous life, it really loves to meddle in other people's business.

Sanction this...that...

He gave Han Bin a meaningful look. This old guy was here to ask for a favor, and also because he really wanted to get promoted!

After having children, parents will indeed think about the future of their children.

Dong Tianbao quickly calculated in his mind, putting aside the matter of personal relationships for now.

1995 years.

The most advanced ship in the Chinese navy is still the Type 051 destroyer; it doesn't even have a single decent area air defense ship.

The situation on the other side of Taiwan is getting increasingly tense, and things are becoming more and more chaotic behind the scenes.

Li Biden had just visited North Korea earlier this year, and the US aircraft carrier battle group had circled the East China Sea. All China could offer were a few outdated submarines and coastal defense guns.

Furthermore, given that the United States has ordered that China not be sold off, and Hong Kong has not yet been returned to China, it belongs to the United States.

This vulnerability can be exploited.

Of course, he couldn't show his face, as he had already positioned himself as pro-mainland China in the UK.

Lei Yaoyang is a good choice.

What if the Varyag had been acquired three years earlier—

"What's the starting price?" Dong Tianbao quickly regained his composure, afraid that if he kept thinking about it, he might end up blowing up the entire cherry blossom-covered aircraft carrier...

"Ten million US dollars. But the Ukrainian side made a condition that it must be paid in full at once, with no delays. In addition, they will not be responsible for any problems that arise after leaving Ukraine."

To put it bluntly, it's about whether you have the strength to tow the ship away.

"Ten million US dollars isn't expensive..." Dong Tianbao nodded, stroking his chin. "Add the deposit, the tugboat, the crossing of the strait... it won't be less than fifty million US dollars."

But it's totally worth it!

"If you were a woman, I could kiss you to death right now," Dong Tianbao said with a beaming smile, his eyes burning with passion as he grabbed Han Bin's shoulders.

Han Bin felt a little uneasy under Dong Tianbao's gaze, so he quickly slapped his hand away and changed the subject: "Damn, this is nothing. The Varyag is just an appetizer. There's more exciting news to come, but I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"What? What other explosive news is there? As long as money can solve the problem, it's no big deal!" Dong Tianbao grabbed Han Bin's shoulder again, acting like he had plenty of money.

Han Bin endured the pain in his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "Boss, can you put your claws down? It hurts so much."

"what!"

"Sorry, I got excited!" Dong Tianbao quickly withdrew his hands, looking as embarrassed as a child.

Han Bin waved his hand and laughed, "If everyone in China were like you, Hong Kong wouldn't have become a place dominated by foreigners..."

"Enough of that, let's get down to business. As you know, all my previous weapons came from Russia, not the former Soviet Union."

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the person I sourced the goods from became a vice admiral in the Ukrainian Navy. The Black Sea Shipyard was closely connected to him. That vice admiral secretly told me, "The aircraft carrier can be sold, and so can the blueprints and data. The highest bidder wins!"
