Of course, Gu Biao knew what the Monegasque people were planning, and he also knew that the other party only gave him a small profit every time, but there was no need to expose some things, just accept it when he saw it. (It's a small profit compared to the part of the royal family, and of course it's worth a lot to other businessmen)

Therefore, Gu Biao readily agreed to the conditions for the distribution of benefits and accepted the small gift.

At the time of parting, he only reminded that he hoped that the Monaco royal family would come forward to mediate the purchase of the ship.

In addition, Gu Biao also presented the business plan he had prepared for the process of buying a ship with both hands - why did you buy an Essex-class to run the gaming industry? What do you think is a better gimmick for the Essex class to attract customers than other civilian passenger liners?

These are questions that Princess Caroline, and even the rest of the Monegasque royal family, have never thought about.

Therefore, of course, Gu Biao had to provide materials, first to convince them, and then let them come forward to convince the Americans to believe.

If your own people don't believe you and think that you have ulterior motives, then you will definitely have to go to the enemy.

Gu Biao's consistent tactical thinking of deceiving others and deceiving oneself first must be carried out from beginning to end.

Fortunately, the reason is ready-made, because the businessmen of Ao County have not done this kind of thing in the future, and Gu Biao doesn't have to copy it directly (he can't copy it, after all, he didn't do his homework before crossing over), just make up a few according to his scientific knowledge.

"A lot of rich people are used to seeing luxury cruise ships, but they just haven't been on an aircraft carrier, so they are curious. Therefore, the conversion of a gaming business ship with an aircraft carrier can itself attract adventurous and curious customers. ”

"The lower cabins of aircraft carriers are more enclosed and windowless, which is more in line with the needs of the gaming industry to make guests forget about the passage of time. However, other traditional luxury cruise ships pay more attention to viewing and lighting, and the utilization rate of large cabins is not high. ”

"The design of the aircraft carrier damage management and the electrical margin are relatively large, which is suitable for the installation of shipborne oxygen concentrators, and the high-concentration oxygen perfusion of the business compartment is conducive to keeping the guests excited, and the bet cannot be contained......"

Princess Caroline also knows a little bit about the family business, and after reading it a little, she thinks it all makes sense.

"We can move forward with the purchase of a boat according to this plan. Princess Caroline made the final decision.

Anyway, the principle of everything was agreed, it was just a matter of operational skills, and she had the right to decide.

Gu Biao got up, took his coat, and turned around one last time before pushing the door: "Thank you, but I hope that when I go back to China, you will start slowly, so as not to make the Americans think too much - you know, I am doing this completely for the gimmick of pulling business in the future and making more money."

You have been in contact with me for so long, you should know that I am a people who are apathetic and only want money. But Americans are too sensitive, and they don't necessarily think so.

So, if it looks like, 'I'm just asking you to cash in on the gaming license you gave me faster, and you can't cash it out, so you want to suggest it and reassure me,' I think it's going to be done a lot quicker, and we have a common interest. ”

"Understood. Caroline said and sent Gu Biao out.

The next day, Gu Biao boarded the plane back to China.

……

A few weeks, or maybe months.

Watsonton, an office in the Four Corner.

The reason why the timeline description here is so vague is because Gu Biao was not present at the time, and he didn't know when this happened.

He's not in a hurry.

Some things, even if they are dragged on for years, cannot be rushed.

"Director Gates, this is Commissioner Lucas of the Coordinating Committee, and this is Rolls Manager of Newport News' Sealing and Maintenance Department. They had come for the Monegasques to propose the purchase of the mothballed and scrapped Oliscany. ”

As the office door opened, a neat female secretary brought in two booked visitors and introduced them to Director Gates.

"You're welcome, just call me Robert. "Mr. Commissioner didn't have the slightest scruple, and he personally pulled a chair for Commissioner Lucas and Manager Rawls.

The visitors also sat down businesslikely, all with indifferent faces.

After taking his seat, Commissioner Lucas was the first to open the question.

Obviously, he is the one who bears the responsibility for the examination, and the people in the shipyard are more inclined to make business and do not want to do too much.

Commissioner Lucas cleared his throat and asked straight to the point: "Robert, I won't say much nonsense, I think that the Monegasque people bought the Olistany this time, and there is a great risk that it will cause the military technology attached to it to leak overseas."

We found out that the license involved in the opening of a gaming company by the Monaco royal family this time was also authorized to a Chinese-funded businessman, Gu Wei, that is to say, in the future, there will be Chinese-funded shares in the equity of this gaming company! This does not conform to the consistent standards of the Coordinating Committee. We hope that the CIA will accept this assessment. ”

Robert just smiled silently, then raised his hand slightly to Manager Rawls on the other side, and asked inducingly: "This question, we should really evaluate carefully." However, I think it's better to have a professional engineer evaluate whether the technology has an objective value for leakage, isn't it? ”

Encouraged by this, Manager Rawls, who had long wanted to get rid of the mess and earn some modification fees, hurriedly took out some information: "I think this ship has no value for technical theft."

As we all know, the main forces of the Navy that are still in service are the Forrestal class and the Kitty Hawk class, and all ships of these two classes are still in active service. Further back, the Midway class is about to be gradually retired from active service, the FER has been retired for six or seven years, and the Coral Sea ship is not in good condition, and it will also be retired, but the first built Midway is still in very strong condition-

Of course, this is also necessary, who let the Midway be built by us in Newport News, and the FER and the two spicy chickens in the Coral Sea are just because of the tight production capacity during the war, and let the rotten goods of the Tacoma shipyard take advantage of it, and the quality is really not good......"

Manager Rawls was talking about some occupational diseases, and began to make a few words of contempt for his peers.

Robert and Lucas shook their heads when they heard this. In the U.S. Navy, Newport News looks down on aircraft carriers made by other OEMs, and that's not a year or two, it's decades.

"Tell the point. Robert had to clear his throat and remind the other party not to crook.

Manager Rawls smiled apologetically, then continued: "Well, I'm sorry - I mean, the Midway-class is already the oldest antique that still has military practical reference value. It can even be said that if the F18 had not entered service two years ago, even the Midway would not have been saved, and it might have been scrapped like the FER. Because of the flight deck of the Midway, it is impossible to take off and land the F14.

But what is Ollistany? It was an Essex-class, and it was an Essex that was in service three years later than the Midway--Essex, which was in service in 43/44 years, and Oliscany was in service until 50.

I think the Monegasque people take a fancy to it because they think that its shell ship is in good condition, and it can use the gimmick of an "aircraft carrier" to solicit customers, and it is militarily insensitive. After all, the most advanced aircraft it can take off and land is only the F4 ghost more than 20 years ago, which is one level worse than Midway, and even the F18 can't be used.

If there is an imaginary enemy who wants to steal something, why don't they buy the FER that was scrapped at that time before the F18 was put into service in '83 and the midway ship experiment was successful? Why drag it until the F18 is all ready to fight, and then take a step back to buy the older Olistany? So I think this thing is used to develop tourism!"

Robert nodded frequently before turning to Commissioner Lucas: "Mr. Commissioner, I have to admit that the expert opinion on the Newport News side is justified. From a military and technical point of view, 'Olistany' no longer has the value of being coordinated.

And according to the information I found, the Navy has already included it in the list of 'allowed to be dismantled and sold as recycled scrap' a few years ago, with a reserve price of $2 million and sold as scrap. It's also because no one responds to the stream. It makes sense for the other party to choose it. ”

Speaking of the sale of scrap iron on the "Olistany", this matter has really been tossed several times in history. Originally, the first sale contract was reached in 1988, but the scrap iron dealer refused to pay the dismantling fee, and had to take it all away, dragging the money, and then it continued to be ripped off for seven years, and was resold by the Navy in 95.

As a result, after changing contractors, he continued to drag the Navy's money, and the payment was not in place for two years, and the contract was terminated again in 97. In the end, no one was willing to pay for the cost of demolition, and it dragged on until '04, when the Navy finally planned to sell it to a diving tourism company and sank it for landscaping - because the construction cost of the bombing was definitely cheaper than the demolition cost.

This third tender took a year or two before it was finally sunk off the coast of Pensacola in '06 and turned into a coral reef to conserve the marine ecology and run a diving tourism industry by the way.

So, don't look at the history of this ship in 06 years to be reimbursed, in fact, the 80s was already a big problem dragging the Navy storage fees, although it is abandoned, but you still have to pay the maintenance department of Newport News berth fees or storage fees are not. (There are berths for abandoned ships, and the dock fee is much cheaper than normal)

The C.I.A. and the Navy and Newport News are all speaking to that school of thought, and it's hard for the people on the coordinating committee to put it into play.

Commissioner Lucas held on for a while, but could only switch angles.

"Since your technical assessment opinions have to be so insistent, our coordinating committee has nothing to say, after all, each has its own division of labor. However, we still hope that Director Gates will do a little bit about the deeper background of the transaction – was this purchase decision made by Gu Biao or the Monaco royal family? What was Gu Biao doing during this time? What was the cause and effect of the decision-making process?"

Robert shrugged his shoulders: "This is a bit of a strong man, we are not roundworms in other people's stomachs, who knows the motive for this kind of thing." At best, we can only list the objective facts partially, based on the principle of unifying subjective and objective investigations. ”

As Robert spoke, he made a few phone calls and retrieved some information.

They were so efficient that they didn't make Commissioner Lucas wait for hours.

"Gu Biao should have returned to China at present, and he has recently appeared a lot in the preparation of some entertainment company projects in Xiangjiang, and he should be playing a nong female singer. Well, there is also information that during this period, he returned to the mainland for a month or two, cheated on his fiancée's literary awards, and then donated money to a film and television project called "Dream of Red Mansions" by the cultural department, and made friends with many selected actresses.

With all due respect, with what this man does, he is a scum who gets into the eyes of money and lust, and he is not ambitious at all. Judging from the timing of the Monegasques' decision-making, they were completely unable to fulfill the contract on time, so they temporarily thought of this way to compensate Gu Wei, and the Monegasque was the mastermind. ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
