Gu Biao's reputation as "insatiable, unscrupulous, under the banner of revitalizing the science and technology industry, and speculating in real estate and hoarding land to engage in gambling" gradually spread in the Xiangjiang circle.

He himself is enjoying his life in Monaco, chatting and laughing with the dignitaries of the Monegasque royal family, and guiding the future development strategy of the Monegasque royal family's industry.

"Gu, congratulations, I heard that a few days ago, the Queen of Brittany officially signed a bill to return Xiangjiang. No matter how much you deny your own involvement and efforts. I believe that even as an ordinary Chinese, you should be very happy about this. ”

One day at the end of April, in the balcony living room in the southeast corner of the top floor of the Royal Palace of Monaco, Princess Caroline invited her business partner Gu Biao to afternoon tea.

She knew that Gu Biao's intention was to fulfill a plan she had talked about more than two years ago - the time was not ripe and the prerequisites were not met, but now, it seems to be a little mature.

Of course, as a royal family, before talking about business, appropriate politeness and personal relations still need to be discussed, so Princess Caroline first talked about a few current political topics.

This fits well with the context of the opening lines of a princess and a former diplomat.

The balcony is breezy and the classic "Mediterranean sun of Provence", and the atmosphere is very stylish at first glance.

"Thank you for your congratulations, as an ordinary Chinese, of course I am also happy for this matter. Gu Biao's answer was very decent.

The statement issued jointly with the Bretannes, of course, was issued last year. However, as we all know, in the country of Minzhu, there is also a time lag between the signing of treaties and declarations with foreign countries, and the formal formation of internal laws at home.

For example, as we all know, at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, after the Treaty of Versailles was negotiated, President Wilson took the treaty back home, and tossed around in the US Congress for more than half a year, and finally the US Congress did not pass it, so that the United States, as the main host of the Paris Peace Conference, finally withdrew from the Treaty of Versailles and failed to become a signatory party at all.

The Bretanians were also very slow to get the parliament, so the domestic law of the Burennese country, which "decided to return Xiangjiang", was not officially adopted until the middle of 85, which can be regarded as a phased boost.

After responding to the eldest princess's question, Gu Biao realized that it was a bit embarrassing to just answer and not ask, and it was easy to talk to death, so he changed the conversation and mentioned some interesting topics.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the current affairs in the Far East that you know must be those big scenes. I'm from Xiangjiang, and I have some interesting facts about gambling, if you are interested......"

"Of course I'm interested, let's hear it. Princess Caroline gracefully took a sip of black tea.

Gu Biao smiled evilly: "Then I'll tell you, it's like this-after the Bretanians knew that Xiangjiang couldn't hold it, it was a waste of money, and they also changed the team indiscriminately, and wanted to delegate power to the locals." Just before I arrived, their new legislative JU building was inaugurated, and Governor Youde presided over the ceremony and the first meeting of the new bureau.

However, on the agenda before the meeting, the despicable Bretons actually wanted to cancel the "new members swear allegiance to the queen" link. Fortunately, he was seen through and sent a note to Mr. Youde, reminding him that the memorandum promised that 'business as usual in certain areas during the transition period' had been made, and then that Youde's plot did not succeed, and he had to obediently continue to let the new members take the oath according to the old practice. ”

Princess Caroline's awareness of the righteousness and legitimacy of diplomacy is obviously far less than that of Gu Biao, so she didn't understand what the mystery was here.

She thought for a moment and asked sincerely: "After 12 years, you will be successfully recovered, and now the new members will no longer swear allegiance to the queen, which should be a good thing for you." ”

Gu Biao calmly explained: "No, whether you swear allegiance to the queen or not, in fact, the effect is not very different. After 12 years, it can be re-elected, so that these people are loyal to the new master, or it is possible to single out certain people who are not used.

The Bretanians are now starting to shape 'You don't have to be loyal to the Queen', with the despicable intention of hoping that the local members will not have to be loyal to any outside remotes from this day onwards, and that they will only be responsible for taking care of the emotions of the natives. ”

At this point, Princess Caroline understood in seconds.

As a princess, this awareness still needs to be there - of course, it has to be a princess who is in charge of the house, like her sister, who eats, drinks and has fun every day, and doesn't understand.

Caroline: "I see, this is the same reason that in your negotiations in the past few years, you insisted that the status of Xiangjiang was 'ceded Chinese territory' rather than a 'colony'. Your diplomats have really seen through the Bretanian conspiracy. ”

A word of conscience must be said here, the point just mentioned by Princess Caroline "seeing through the conspiracy of the Bretannes" has been seen through by our country's international relations experts and negotiators in the original history, which shows that they were very wise in the first place. There is no credit for this matter, Gu Biao and Mina.

Gu Biao passed Mina's seven-point top-secret internal reference, and what was blocked was nothing more than the icing on the cake of those small stories that Gu Biao had just taken the initiative to state, compared with the regular negotiators, Gu Biao's small contribution was just the fluorescence of rotten grass, and the historical merits of the genuine negotiators were the bright moon of Tianxin.

After guiding the two sides to jointly denounce the despicability and shamelessness of the Brittany, Gu Biao felt that the atmosphere for talking about the follow-up land reclamation business was very harmonious, because there was a potential common enemy-

After all, the Bretanians are the main force in the world who oppose land reclamation and many other marine developments under the banner of "protecting the ecology of the seabed", and most of the scholars in this school of thought are holding Breton money.

Although, in the case of Monaco specifically, it is the French who play the role of the goalkeeper of that direct card, not the Bretanians. However, the Bretanians also provided the French with some of the theoretical ammunition of the academic community. Otherwise, a small sea power country like France really can't afford to raise so many royal bricks as a mouthpiece.

The Monaco royal family has always wanted to reclaim land, so they don't have a good opinion of the French at this point, and they don't have a good opinion of the Britannes. (But after ruling out the issue of reclamation, Monaco is more pro-French in other interests)

After eating the refreshments of afternoon tea, Gu Biao took advantage of the situation and changed his words:

"Your Royal Highness, you should remember that more than two years ago, I was talking to you and my brother Prince Albert about the long-term plan - Monaco is too small, and with the increasing amount of inheritance tax legislation in other developed countries in Europe and the United States.

In the last three years, West Germany has set a threshold of 250,000 marks for exemption and started to tax the excess. Even Italy has joined the pilot hybrid levy system. Therefore, the value of your country as a property inheritance tax haven has become more and more prominent, land prices have soared, and the cost of home ownership has skyrocketed.

Your country is along the coastline of state-owned properties. The time is ripe for land reclamation. It's time to build a new villa complex to attract wealthy people from all over the world to settle down. ”

Princess Caroline's eyes flashed, and then she regained restraint: "Your so-called 'time is ripe', the excuse should be 'you have recently succeeded in removing some scholars in the international environmental community who insist on the theory of reclamation and destruction of ecology'?

The Professor Yao who was killed by you, as well as other related Breton mouthpieces, mainly study the protection of native forests, and the marine ecology is just the interest you have earned by the way after the destruction of the Xiangjiang River this time. In the international environmental protection community, the academic forces that adhere to the theory of 'reclamation and destruction of seabed ecology' are still somewhat strong.

The most important thing is that the French will naturally listen to the experts they control. Even if the Bretanian experts were all defeated, they would not necessarily be able to sway the French. ”

"If it's just this level of concern, I have a way to get rid of it. Gu Biao made a gesture first.

However, Princess Caroline has clearly done her homework: "There is much more to this than this consideration - our territory in Monaco is a hundred times smaller than the Xiangjiang River, and there is not a single barren mountain in the territory that can be excavated." So we had to import the reclaimed earthwork from France, which was still too expensive.

I think it would be slightly more profitable to at least double the price of land and luxury homes in my country. Even if it triples, the profit will be very impressive. Therefore, the reality is still immature, and we should continue to wait for the contradiction between supply and demand to become more acute. ”

Regarding this question, Gu Biao smiled very confidently: "This is not a problem, I can make a connection, and you will place an order with Kowloon Shipbuilding to order a sand pumping and filling ship." I can even offer future finance leasing and guarantee services for the first trial vessel.

If you use a reclamation ship, there will be no problem of asking the French to import earthworks, and there will be no transportation costs, and the total price of reclamation will be reduced by nearly half, and you will not have to wait for the price to double to be profitable, and you can start to do it in a few years.

Your Royal Highness Princess, you should know that there are some things that need to be cut through the mess quickly, and the environmental protection forces will only get stronger and stronger in the future. As for getting the plan, after the circle starts to fill in, it is claimed that there are construction difficulties and technical bottlenecks, and it is done slowly, isn't that also a kind of 'hoarding land and reluctant to sell, covering the market and raising prices'. Moreover, it is a plan that has already been obtained at a low price and held in your own hands and waited for appreciation, which is much more profitable than watching the cost rise while watching the price rise. ”

Princess Caroline pondered for a while, saying that she would recalculate it with her father and mother, and also hold a meeting with the relevant royal businessmen and financial personnel of the royal family.

However, she also had to admit in principle that Gu Biao had at least initially convinced her in terms of cost.

"In other words, the main problem at the moment is to let the French relent, not to think that 'Monaco's exercise of its territorial sea reclamation rights is to damage the overall interests of France's offshore ecological and exclusive economic zone', can I understand it so simply?" Princess Caroline finally confirmed.

"That's pretty much it. ”

"Well, then, you wait for my news, and when the time comes, we'll talk about how to relenting the French. "Princess Caroline really can't imagine what Gu Biao has to make the French relax.

It would be terrible if this man's homework could be so awesome.
