Chapter 552: This son is unlimited
Solemnly declare that Gu Biao has not done anything major that will affect the military strength and situation comparison of the major powers in the world. Those things were originally done spontaneously by the countries of Fabrílu in the original history.
Gu Biao's actions can only be regarded as "rubbing hot spots" at best, as well as mediating and running on the trend, taking advantage of the time difference between the other party's academic caliber and censorship caliber to change the double standard, and make a lot of real profits. Therefore, the stigma of "changing history" cannot be blamed on Gu Biao's head.
He spent more than two months in Monaco and France in Monaco and France from the end of April to the beginning of July. There are some details that are too high-level, and there is no comment.
Anyway, from the point of view of his ally charter king, he officially received the order for the Monaco royal family in July, as well as the advance payment.
At that time, Gu Biao was still in Paris and did not come back, and the charter king received the airmail in his own mansion in Xiangjiang.
In addition to the first moment of consternation, the charter king will immediately ask people to inquire about other relevant and open channels. So he immediately knew that the Monaco royal family, after a considerable period of time with the French in the reclamation rights game, this time finally successfully broke through the constraints of the French and officially had the right to build.
The real estate company under the royal family of Monaco has this order for the blowing and filling ship, and it is obvious that the construction will start as soon as the goods arrive.
"Gu Xian's nephew's energy, is it actually like this?" When the charter king looked at the contract and information, his eyes were full of disbelief.
A few months ago, when Gu Biao talked to him about this, he still felt that it was far away and in the air. Who knew that Gu Biao was so resolute, saying that if he wanted to do something, he would definitely be able to do it, and no one could stop him.
It's terrifying.
When the charter king said this, his expression was decadent, his tone was admiring, and his daughters and sons-in-law were also by his side. A little daughter who is not very knowledgeable about business can't help but question: "Dad, is it so difficult for Monegasques to get the right to reclaim the sea?"
Didn't our port also break through the chirp of the EIA in the first half of the year and get the right to reclaim land in Sha Tau Kok, our Xiangjiang is also a subtropical seabed landform, and the protection should be no less than that of Monaco, right?"
The charter boat king still looks weak, and he seems to be too lazy to respond to his youngest daughter's question for the time being.
So his eldest son-in-law, the Austrian surnamed Su, immediately opened his mouth to explain: "It's different, not to mention that Monaco and France are completely two countries, and the French are stricter and tougher. The construction method approved by the Monegasques this time is 'sand pumping and filling', which is unprecedented in the history of environmental assessment.
In the original reclamation construction mode, the raw materials were from other places. If you pump sand and fill it, it is equivalent to filling 1 acre of sea, which may destroy at least 2~3 acres of seabed, and even the surrounding Haitian ecology that you have not filled will also be destroyed.
Because you're pumping sand from the adjacent seabed next door, which is not ready to be filled, but is being extracted as raw materials, and coral reefs are also pumped up. The international environmental community has always been conservative about this kind of thing. This time, if the French had not had to take a tough stance on the cusp of the storm, they would not have been taken advantage of by the Monegasque. ”
The shipping business of the charter king is not only a ship, but also a wharf storage and port construction, which are also within the scope of their old business. So Mr. Su is certainly no stranger to the details of reclamation, and the explanation is straightforward.
The youngest daughter of the charter boat king listened to her brother-in-law's explanation and nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a reminiscence.
The charter king himself sat on the main seat, and when the juniors finished talking, he coughed lightly and sighed:
"The future of Hong Kong's business community...... No, it's not just the business community in Xiangjiang, it should be said that the future of the Asian business community is probably up to Gu Biao. With his ability and rising trend, whether it is those oil tycoons in the Middle East or those technology and electronics giants in Ben, they are nothing in front of him.
This sincerity cannot be used as an enemy, but can only be used as a support--this sentence is a warning to you to remember! At my age, I guess I will not see this day. Your generation, you also have to make a good friendship with him, then after a hundred years, our Bao family can still have an everlasting foundation in the Asian shipping industry......"
"Dad, what do you say, you are not yet 70 years old, and your body is hard......" Several daughters hurriedly went up to express their filial piety, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
But no matter what they said, they basically accepted their father's judgment in their hearts, knowing that Gu Biao's son was unfathomable.
……
At this moment, thousands of miles away in Paris, Princess Caroline is also in her apartment on the banks of the Seine, holding a banquet to thank Gu Biao for her help, and by the way, talk about the final distribution of benefits.
As an aside, Princess Kelly is not afraid of her eldest daughter suffering, so this kind of thing is handed over to her eldest daughter in the aftermath.
Because Princess Caroline has long been a second-married person, what is there to lose. After divorcing three and a half years ago because she couldn't stand the affair of her first husband, Princess Caroline later married a quiet man in her fifties, the Duke of Hanover.
This can be regarded as a certain family interest decision, because Princess Caroline will not inherit the title in the future, and the position of prince belongs to her younger brother Prince Albert. Caroline could only hope to marry a nobleman if she wanted her children to have a title of nobility that she could inherit, so it was logical.
At the same time, the Duke of Hanover doesn't seem to be very good, he had a wife when he was young, but he couldn't give birth to children, and even more so when he was old, he was also willing to remarry his wife and directly bring a few cheap children to inherit his title, so he didn't care about Princess Caroline, and turned a blind eye to play his own game.
This is not a matter of the values of the French department.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Gu Biao, and here is just an explanation of why the Monegasque people are relieved to let Princess Caroline be in charge, and there is no other meaning.
"Unexpectedly, even Mitterrand was in a sense squeezed by us in applause. Princess Caroline picked up the red wine, touched a glass with Gu Biao, and sighed, "I really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly this time, it's so unexpected." Gu, are you a person who is favored by God? ”
"Perhaps, there is a mysterious power in the dark that is helping me. Although Gu Biao is an atheist, he knows that Princess Caroline graduated from the Sorbonne in Paris, so it seems a little more pious and fatalistic to talk about business with her.
This can be regarded as talking about people and talking nonsense.
"I don't know if there are certain countries' intelligence systems behind you that are constantly supporting you. But I prefer to believe that there is, so that I will be more assured to cooperate with you in depth. Princess Caroline sighed, and as she spoke, she pushed a few pieces of deed to Gu Biao.
"In return, you have the right to set up a new gambling company in Monaco without occupying Monaco's territory. Of course, if the Monegasque royal family still has to contribute capital and has a part of the shares, it can take a small share. At the same time, the gambling tax is still the same, which is understandable. ”
In this kind of business, heavy taxation is inevitable, and there is no way to do it with state-owned shares.
After careful calculation, and then remove all kinds of other dot losses, Gu Biao can only account for 3% of the pre-tax profit in this Monaco company in the future, or 6% of the after-tax profit.
(Gross profit is taxed at 50% directly.) This special industry is so high, and the sale of cigarettes is even higher, 75% tax. In countries where MY is legalized, the MY tax is also very high, not necessarily, for example, Germany has a fixed place of business on a proportional basis, and those who wander the streets pay 6 euros for unlimited tax stamps per day - please read this text seriously from the perspective of popular science foreign laws, and the person who wants to be crooked is your own heart (zang, the first sound, not the organ that is dirty, it is dirty and dirty).
Since the whole world has this rule, Gu Biao has nothing to say.
"I totally understand. Gu Biao simply put the license and related deeds into his hands.
Anyway, this money is not his main purpose, it is just a cover for himself to pour dirty water on himself, is it easy for him.
Princess Caroline was slightly relieved to see that he was easy to speak, and then continued: "In addition, considering that reclamation takes time, we have also evaluated the transition plan you proposed earlier, and we can use the shipping company of the Monaco royal family and the royal gaming company to jointly fund and come forward to purchase a ship and convert it into a maritime gaming business place."
We can give you a high degree of decision-making power over this ship, we are just giving you a backdoor license - though, if it's a ship for former military use, we want to make sure to take over the entire receiving process. ”
Gu Biao was very refreshing: "No problem, I think about it and buy the Essex-class 'Oriscani', this ship has been sealed by the Americans as scrap metal, and it has no military value, maybe it will be blown up and sunk as a bottom reef in the next year, and the coral ecology will be maintained." I even asked for the price, 5 million dollars can get it, and I can also get it with a paint to help you get rid of rust. Engine overhaul is counted separately - of course, I have to pay for the boat to the bookmaker's fund. ”
Princess Caroline thought about it, it was impossible for this kind of old broken ship that had been outdated for decades to have military value, so she agreed.
In fact, Gu Biao didn't plan to do anything with it, this boat was just used by him to "accumulate credit".
First of all, in the 80s, there was no money or technology accumulation in China, and there was really something awesome, can you use it?
Therefore, Gu Biao really planned to buy it, drive a ship for seven or eight years, make some money, and accumulate some credit in the eyes of Americans and other imaginary enemies, further reinforcing the stereotype that "Gu Biao bought a ship to make money, but the gimmick of a retired aircraft carrier is convenient for soliciting customers, so he chose the old aircraft carrier".
After negotiating the big deal, Princess Caroline took out another little sweetness:
"Finally, I have a gift here, which is a good gift for you to do things. This is a parking lot and helipad title deed on the south side of the Sea World Building, which is not large, two acres of land. The place was originally a public land under the jurisdiction of the Crown and was not subject to an easement.
Now, the land is yours, and you may not think it's worth much, but we'll allow you to reclaim the 200-foot coastline as much as you want in the future, and yours will do whatever it takes. ”
When Gu Biao heard it at first glance, his mood changed from disdain, to surprise, to deep thought, and changed several times.
Of course, the parking lot and the apron land are not worth much, but after looking at the map, he found that the "Sea World Tower" is the southwesternmost point of Monaco's border, on the border with France, and across the street is the French city of Nice.
The Monaco royal family handed over a few hundred feet of coastline with clear property rights and easements on the border between Monaco and Nice to Gu Biao, and asked Gu Biao to fill it in by himself in the future. However, as long as Gu Biao fills in well, then in the future, other coastlines that are deeper and do not directly border France will not be criticized by the French.
This calculation is really good, although Gu Biao has been given some benefits, Monaco is indeed an inch of land, but the royal family is also using Gu Biao as a leading bird.
