Chapter 729: Sister Believes You Are a Ghost
Gu Biao said that there is no bad house in Monaco, that is, he really does not have a bad house, because he came to Monaco this time, and he has a reclamation real estate project with royal concessions to operate.
When the reclamation project on his side is completed, he is already a big real estate developer in Monaco, and he still has to ask others if he can buy a house.
Get one or two villas to live in first, just because this little pocket money does not have to be taken care of, and the time difference is a few years.
After all, there will be a shortage of things that will come in the future, and rich people will not be able to take them out because there will be more in the future, so they will temporarily endure and treat themselves for the time being.
This is not Gu Biao and Mina's style.
In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Biao and Mina lived in the villa that the secretary helped buy last year, but Gu Biao himself had never seen it and didn't know that it was his own house, and enjoyed a quiet leisure with Mina.
After playing exciting extreme sports for half a day, it still greatly promoted the relationship between husband and wife, and Mina also had a lot of thoughts to confide, so she didn't go out of the room for a day behind closed doors.
The next morning, I was refreshed and had breakfast not long ago, and I was thinking about where to continue my honeymoon trip, but a guest came to the door.
Gu Biao was a little disheveled, and he was afraid that it would be rude to go out to receive guests immediately, so Mina took over the reception task without giving up.
Anyway, the girl's clothes are very cool, and wearing less is also a kind of unique elegance, so that it is not a loss of etiquette to wear less like a man.
Of course, the more important thing is that because the guest is a woman, otherwise Gu Biao would not let Mina go out to entertain guests.
"Caroline, morning, so dedicated. Mina familiarly took the visiting Caroline to sit down in the living room and let the female secretary serve tea. When she spoke, she omitted the titles of His Royal Highness, obviously not to be false and polite to the other party.
Mina's extra friendship with Caroline was also started at Christmas last year and slowly became acquainted with each other during last summer's vacation.
Mina didn't feel Ye Kun's urgent crisis at that time, and she had never paved the way for her marriage to Gu Biao, so she brushed a wave of "aristocratic background".
Including these Monaco, many people thought that Mina's half-starry white dew blood was really related to some prince and nobleman of the Romanov dynasty, and people were naturally willing to make further friends with her.
Of course, all this is also due to Mina's own elegance, and the diplomatic education she received has always been the kind of person who is well versed in various European royal etiquette. If you change to a girl with a little more earthy temperament and haven't attended the Foreign Affairs Academy, you give her a chance to pretend that she doesn't look like it.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Gu Biao had already cleaned up and came out to entertain guests. After making a few jokes with them, Her Royal Highness Caroline asked playfully: "Gu, until last year, I always thought that you would marry Mina, you disappointed me so much, how did you marry such a wife with no noble blood." ”
"It's okay, when I socialize with you upper-class people, I always introduce Mina as a wife. Gu Biao took over the conversation very decently, "Didn't Lord Onassis marry Jacqueline instead of Karas, but he finally chose to hope to be buried with Calas, and Jacqueline was married to the public." ”
Gu Biao's response is really very ingenious.
Aristotle Onassis, the Greek ship king of the year, was also the richest man in the world in the late 60s and early 70s. Master hugged his thighs
His family wealth has always been two or three billion euros, and until the 21st century, his family [his granddaughter] is still the richest man in Greece, and the title of the richest man in southern Europe has been retained until 2011, after the Greek crisis, it was overtaken by the Italians Agnelli family and Ferrero family.
Gu Biao's use of a deceased former richest man in the world as an example is really appropriate, and his understanding of winning friends from the top class could not be more perfect.
Onassis was married to Jacqueline, the widow of President JFk, and his real favorite "qingren" was actually the famous Greek singer Maria Callas. Of course, the so-called "hope to be buried with Callas" testament was only a statement of his opinion, and it was not implemented in the end, because Callas died a year after him.
From this point of view, on the contrary, Jacqueline is more sad, her two marriages, the man is not for love. One is to be the president of the United States, and the other is to be the richest man in the world.
However, it can also be seen from this point that a woman of Jacqueline's type is more suitable for enhancing her husband's public image
Born in a prestigious family, she must be beautiful. He studied French literature, the most demanding in literature, and attended a public university in Grenoble, Ezreal, South France, and worked as a literati for two years before marriage.
This kind of beautiful literary young woman who only sings high-pitched and does not do anything practical is the most long-facing for her husband, and there will be no dirt.
Because if you don't do things, you won't do anything wrong, and you won't get your shoes wet when you stand on the moral high ground on the shore and scold people. In later generations, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos found a female writer's wife, which is also a reason, clean and trouble-free.
Ci is not in charge of the army, and righteousness is not good. If you are an official, some people will definitely say that you are unkind, and if you are a businessman, some people will definitely say that you are unjust, and you can't escape it.
Her Royal Highness Caroline, as a member of the royal family, also likes these topics very much when chatting, after all, what is gossip to ordinary people is as kind to her as things around her. Gu Biao's metaphors and explanations are obviously right for her appetite.
"In this way, your legal wife is for the ignorant public. It's no wonder that in the upper class circles, you still bring Mina out to socialize, you are really 'despicable'......" Her Royal Highness Caroline couldn't help but sigh.
Mina was a little embarrassed to mediate in the middle, and she hurriedly helped the crooked building: "Sister Caroline, don't talk about this, you must have something serious to do." ”
Caroline also took advantage of the situation to stop the gossip and changed the subject officially: "Is there a serious matter, you are all in Monaco, are you going to inspect the reclamation construction area?" ”
The reclamation area mentioned by Caroline began construction at the end of February and the beginning of March. As mentioned earlier, a few years ago, Gu Biao obtained the right to reclaim a piece of sea from the Monaco royal family, because Gu Biao helped them run the operation, mediated the passage of relevant treaties from the French, and the reward they deserved.
After all, if it were not for Gu Wei's manipulation, the timing of the treaty between the French and the British for the protection of Haitian coral ecology would have made the French embarrassed to engage in double standards at the same point in time, and could only choose to "grasp the big and let go of the small, be tough on the British, and let the Monegasques take advantage......
With the Monegasques' own diplomatic mediation skills and brains, the right to reclaim the sea would certainly not be so easy to take. Urban genius
What Gu Biao did was definitely worth this exchange reward.
Even after the Monegasques legally won the right to reclaim the sea, they didn't really do it within three years, but waited for the concession company under Gu Biao's name to do it first, filling in the narrow coast with France to the depths, and letting Gu Biao bear the pressure.
In this way, as long as the most sensitive coast of Gu Biao is completed, the other coasts separated by Gu Ao's dikes and not directly bordering the French will be easier to handle. During this period, if the French have any difficulties at the legal level, Gu Biao will definitely help them settle down first for the sake of interests.
Of course, another important reason why the Monegasques did not do it immediately is that their accounts are not enough for the time being, and before the collapse of Lucia, the property hedging function of small European tax havens is not very attractive, and the property prices are not high enough.
The traditional construction method, filling one square kilometer of land, the construction cost is more than one billion pounds, analogous to the international airport currently under construction in Hong Kong, the reclamation of Lantau Island, should have been this cost.
It was only in this life that Gu Xiao made the scale of Xiangjiang people's reclamation smaller, and installed new and more efficient sand pumping and filling equipment, so that the total construction budget was suppressed, so that the Bretanians could not take more Chinese money in the last ten years after leaving Xiangjiang, and let the later authorities pay off local debts.
Monacos feel that according to the calculation of 1 billion pounds per square kilometer of land, it seems that it is not very tempting to sell a villa after filling it in, and perhaps it will not be double the profit......
For the royal families of other countries, the possible doubling of profits is already very large, and they are willing to do even half of the profits. But for the Monaco royal family, because they make a lot of quick money and convenient money, they are not very motivated to make small money, and in the eyes of Her Royal Highness Caroline and Princess Kelly, the profit of less than one time is too low, and there is no incentive to toss.
Then it's better to wait, hoard the right to sell, and wait for the price increase trend of the house to be obvious.
Anyway, the treaty jurisprudence of the reclamation right is already in hand, and it will not expire if it is not used for the time being, and the French will not be able to take it back.
However, now Gu Biao has started work as scheduled.
Caroline felt that Gu Biao was honest and the objective technical conditions were just mature, so she was willing to fulfill the contract and explore the way and be a pioneer for the Monegasques.
On the other hand, Caroline has been in the business world for five or six years after all, and she is 30 years old this year, so she has some experience. She thinks that the new technology used by Gu Biao seems to be able to reduce the cost of reclamation to a considerable extent, which can explain why according to the current property price, Gu Biao's motivation is so positive, it must be because the other party feels that the cost of this project is lower than expected, so the profit is greater than outsiders estimate.
It's a pity that Gu Biao is not a primary school student, how could he let the other party inquire about his true cost.
After the two sides chatted in the villa for a while, Gu Biao roughly understood the other party's intentions, so he said with a feigned smile:
"Since Your Highness is interested, let's go to the construction site together to see how the plan is being realized, how? To be honest, I don't know much about technology. In terms of feasibility, my friends in Xiangjiang helped me to demonstrate and help me budget, and I believed what price they quoted me. Uncle Bao, the king of the Xiangjiang boat, is a hardcore friendship with me, and he will not cheat me. ”
Caroline thought to herself: "Sister believes you are a ghost! You little wolf dog is very bad! You are a treacherous person, will you believe the cost that the other party will give you?"
