Chapter 590: Entertaining France
For old friends in Iraq and the Middle East to come to the door, Gu Biao was really not mentally prepared.
The conscience of heaven and earth, when it comes to the legal operation of the gambling industry in Monaco, Gu Biao is really bent on money.
At most, plus a "accumulated credit assets".
That is, to accumulate his reputation in the eyes of Americans and even French, "only admitting money and not patriotic".
This kind of reputation is also a form of credit, which will facilitate him to travel to many countries in the future, and even more so when he spreads out his business internationally.
Every country likes to deal with unpatriotic transnational businessmen.
At the same time, in Gu Ao's eyes, the Olistany, as the last ship of the Essex class, really has nothing worth studying-
Some may say that this ship is different from the rest of the Essex class. After all, it is the only one in the Essex class that was delayed for four years when it was built, and the first generation of electronic flying tube modification was carried out, and later it was also the only old cargo in the Essex class that could take off and land F-4 ghosts on the battlefield in Vietnam.
But the advantages of these transformations were long gone when the Olistani was scrapped and bought by the Monaco bookmaker as a shell. All flight management electronics, radars, are dismantled.
Isn't the rest of the empty shell exactly the same as the other spicy chickens in Essex that are pure 1940s technology?
Gu Biao didn't expect such a thing to be targeted by the relevant departments.
This is also too petty, picky.
However, since Lieutenant Colonel Zhang is an old friend, and everyone is a friend who has been mixed up in the ups and downs of the war in the Middle East, the face still needs to be explained.
After a short contact between the two sides, Gu Biao took Lieutenant Colonel Zhang and his colleagues and leaders to the secret room of the study upstairs, instructed the secretary to pour tea, and then closed the door to talk from the heart.
"Brother Zhong, I told the truth just now. The 'Princess Caroline' gaming ship, before it was handed over for operation, was completely supervised by the Royal Gaming Company of Monaco, and the brothers really couldn't get their hands on it.
This time, I went to inspect the flowers at best, and then used this excuse to spend time drinking and maintaining friendships with people.
As for the construction, it has been outsourced to the French Atlantic shipyard in Saint-Nazaire. Although they didn't say anything now, but in case there is a change in the future, this variable will still be easy to be noticed, please raise your noble hand, don't make more trouble, I really can't do anything. ”
When Zhang Zhong heard this, he also looked helpless, but he didn't directly help Gu Biao speak.
Gu Biao can also be regarded as having mixed in some circles, and he has common sense of anti-investigation, so just through one or two glances, he knew that Zhang Zhong was also forced to come, and it was not good to report in advance.
It is estimated that their group is also watching one-on-one at all times, and they are accompanied by people when they go to the bathroom.
Between a few glances, Zhang Zhong just cleared his throat, and then spoke: "Brother Gu, we also know your difficulties." In fact, I told the leader before I came, but anyway, this time I will also introduce you to some new friends. Come, this is Director Hu of our Equipment Planning Institute......"
Zhang Zhong said, pointing to the leader of this group of uninvited guests, and introduced Gu Biao.
Director Hu got up and shook hands with Gu Biao: "Comrade Xiao Gu, we should have actually met, but you are a noble person with many things, and you may not remember - four years ago, I was still the executive deputy director, and when I was inspecting the test range in Qindao, I noticed you, but you didn't notice me." ”
"Director Hu is good. Gu Biao greeted calmly, and estimated in his heart that this person was about two levels higher than Brother Zhang.
Not much specific analysis.
It's Gu Biao who is too lazy to analyze.
After the two sides exchanged some words that were not humane, Gu Biao roughly guessed a conclusion: these people should not have been ordered by high-level leaders, and it seems that they are only meritorious.
As for how Gu Biao guessed it, don't ask about the process.
Since it wasn't the chief's intention, Gu Biao was even less worried.
He is a very measured person, not anyone who can command Gu Biao to do things under the banner of patriotism, right.
Gu Biao also said pertinently: "Director Hu, Brother Zhang, don't say that I really can't take anything away." Let's take 10,000 steps back, there are some things, and it's worthless to get them, just to alert foreigners, why bother.
Olistani's potential is there, no matter how hard he tries, the level of the cap for a lifetime is to take off a product that is worse than the combat effectiveness of the shore-based MiG-21, which has no practical value, it is better not to attract this hatred. ”
However, Gu Biao's far-sighted words fell on the ears of today's professionals, but they became out-and-out pretense: Is the MiG-21 bad?
With the MiG-21 as the prototype, it is nothing more than the domestic 7 series, and it is still a relatively main light single-engine equipment at the moment. The 8 series is nothing more than a double-hair large version, but the distant ancestor of the imitation can also be regarded as the MiG-21, and the second type of the 8 series, the prototype was only built last year, and it was not mass-produced.
In Gu Biao's eyes, ships that can take off and land domestic mainstream equipment can be regarded as spicy chicken? Is this a reference system for the Americans? Don't you know how expensive firewood and rice are?
"Comrade Xiao Gu, you can't forget to be self-reliant, work hard, and ...... step by step."
"Don't talk about aircraft carriers, even if you are given an alien portal, you can directly teleport the latest 8 Series II to the South Seas, can you beat Li Jiapo's F15?"
“……”
"I don't need the favor and friendship of a certain department, and of course I have to clarify – first of all, I just can't do it. ”
The second half of the sentence is, of course, to ensure that there is a line of life and that it will not really offend some units. And the first half of the sentence is a reinforced expression of how powerless you are, just a way of expression.
Lieutenant Colonel Zhang was afraid that his words would be stiff, so he hurriedly came out to play a round: "Brother Gu, why do you bother to say that-Director Hu, Brother Gu speaks straight." In fact, Director Hu and the leaders above also know that these have no practical value, but they can run in and accumulate some experience and inspect the practices of advanced countries, which is also a good ......."
Gu Biao choked the other party from continuing to speak: "Then can you go on the boat as a tourist in the future, why take advantage of the current renovation, anyway, the sensitive things that should be demolished have been dismantled before the Newport News leaves the factory, and there is nothing extra to dismantle when decorating."
I'm a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and I can solve problems that can be solved by money and treats, so I'll help. I can't help using other resources. ”
Gu Biao also didn't want to believe too much in the secrecy of the 80s, if one less person knew one less thing, the better.
The other party was finally sent away, at least the relevant leaders were sent away.
In the future, if you want to visit something, let Zhang Zhong contact Gu Biao again.
After the leader finally confirmed it in person, Zhang Zhong finally seized the opportunity to explain to Gu Biao alone, he stayed in Gu Biao's study for a few more minutes, and clarified and apologized: "Brother Gu, I didn't inform you before I came, so I won't blame me." ”
Gu Biao smiled coldly: "Understand, you have to keep it secret yourself, keep an eye on one by one." ”
Lieutenant Colonel Zhang: "It's good that I didn't make it difficult for you, I believe it now, you must be the one who plots greatly, and the one who sees is far, and some of us are eager to make meritorious contributions." I trust your vision.
We are not official fans, in Iraq over the years, there have been more opportunities than our domestic counterparts, not bad. Even if nothing convinces you this time, you should be colonel if you go back to Iraq for another year. ”
To do overseas work in overseas hot spots, there is a first-level for three or four years.
He said this to make it clear that he didn't want to venture in and betray his friends.
Gu Biao nodded: "Then what innocent technical supervisors do you have for the ship decoration company, be more reliable, tell me again." It's just a project supervisor. ”
"I know, when I was in Iraq, I was first in China State Construction Company - weren't they all innocent technicians. ”
That's it.
……
Two days later, Gu Biao got rid of those strange people and flew to France with his girlfriend, assistants, and bodyguards.
Those Chinese "renovation supervisors" will be sent through other channels when the time comes, and they will definitely not be sent in the name of Gu Biao, who will let the Monaco operators make this cost-saving decision.
After all, engineers in China are paid very lowly.
Let Princess Caroline herself make this business decision, so as not to offend anyone. Gu Biao believes that it should be okay to accompany Her Royal Highness the princess for a few drinks and say good things to your personal kindness.
He is a diplomat, and it was his homework to please foreign royal celebrities, not to mention that he is so handsome.
So that no one can gossip in the future.
The Americans can't afford to allow the Monegasques to save on construction costs.
Because Gu Biao took a charter flight on Gulfstream 350 this time, the route is more flexible, and he does not need to pick those domestic direct routes to Paris, but temporarily applies to go to Nantes.
The city of Saint-Nazaire, where the Atlantic shipyard is located, is actually a port city downstream of Nantes - the city of Nantes straddles both sides of the Loire River, twenty or thirty kilometers from the mouth of the Loire, and Saint-Nazaire is a seaport directly located at the mouth of the river, which is also a satellite city of Nantes.
The coastline of France is mainly divided into three sections, facing the Strait, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean.
Anyone who has played "Age of Exploration OL" knows that there are two metropolises in France on this side of the Atlantic, one is Nantes in the north and Bordeaux in the south. As a satellite port city of Nantes, Saint-Nazaire is located between Nantes and Bordeaux, so it is quite close to these two places by land by road, and it is more than 100 kilometers to Bordeaux.
Gu Biao brought his girlfriend this time, and he was also ready to spend this Christmas holiday with an "in-depth tour of western France".
It was the first time for Xiao Sui to take a private charter flight, and he was quite nervous and curious throughout the whole process, and his spirit was a little trance along the way.
The plane refueled once in Moscow and only then landed in Nantes. When he landed, Gu Biao took a precautionary shot and said: "During my time in France, there may be some entertainment, serious entertainment, you are not allowed to be jealous." ”
"No, I know you're all serious, I don't ask. "Xiao Sui is very confidential.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
