Chapter 201: Fast people and fast talkers, fast as knives

In the envelope that Princess Kelly handed over, in addition to the gold card, there was also a brief introduction.

Gu Biao took a brief look and knew that the "Princess Caroline" was a gambling ship that started construction three years ago and only opened last year, and it is the most luxurious venue in Monaco today.

The name of the ship is named after Princess Kelly's eldest daughter, Princess Caroline, who is 23 years old this year. (The princess had three children, the eldest daughter was eight years older than the younger one, and the son was seven years older than the younger daughter, who later succeeded to the throne in 2005, Prince Albert II.) )

As we all know, Monaco is a very small country.

After the current Prince Rainier III succeeded to the throne, in the past 30 years, he used the government's gambling tax revenue to reclaim land, which expanded the land area by 20%, all of which was used to build sea hotels, sea casinos, and amusement parks, which shows the original small land.

However, compared with land reclamation, it is obviously more economical to operate more luxury ships, and the consumer experience is also better. So Monaco's gambling and luxury cruise business is very developed, even much more developed than the Australian counties in Asia.

The main reason why the "Princess Caroline" began construction in 1977 and bought a retired cruiser from the French Navy for refit is probably that Aristotle Onassis, the former richest man in the world and the Greek ship king, died of illness in 1975. (In his later years, the ship lord also married Jacqueline, the widow of President Kennedy, and his estate stripped out the unvalued shares of unlisted companies, and his tangible assets alone amounted to more than 20 billion euros in the 21st century.) )

Because before the death of Aristotle Onassis, there was an unwritten rule in the rivers and lakes, that is, the world's largest private yacht must be Onassis's, and whoever dares to trespass, Onassis will definitely buy a longer one. So at that time, the world's longest private cruise ship was the "Christina", named after his daughter, which was converted from a British-built destroyer of the Canadian Navy.

After the death of the European Emperor Onassis, the rules of the rivers and lakes became obsolete, and the Prince of Monaco immediately got a cruiser of the French Navy from the port of Marseille next door, and transformed it into a top VIP gambling ship that only received state guests, named after his eldest daughter.

When he saw such a strange origin of this gambling ship, Gu Biao couldn't help but think of the half-burping "Wagleigh" aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union in the later generations - the empty shell of that aircraft carrier, which was later bought by a gambling dealer in an Australian county, the reason was also to transform it into a gambling ship.

I guess it's a case of pretending to copy Monaco.

Otherwise, although Ao County also lacks land, it is definitely not as lacking as Monaco.

It's a pity that because Aoxian County does not have a good business credit record in this field, the aircraft carrier is only allowed to tow away after it is dismantled into an empty shell, and it cannot be driven away by its own power, and it is afraid that the people of Aoxian County will embezzle. When passing through the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey, he was stuck for several years, and he paid the shipping channel risk deposit.

At that time, if a unit with a good business credit came forward to buy a gambling boat, it is estimated that the fate would not be so bad.

Maybe you can make friends with the Monegasques without traveling, and there are many ways to do it in the future. As long as it is for the sake of the motherland, even if Gu Biao endures humiliation and sacrifices his hue to make friends, he is duty-bound......

"What the hell am I thinking, I can't control it! Let's think about what is in front of me first. ”

The more Gu Biao thought about it, the more he felt that he was unreliable, and when he heard the words introduced by Princess Kelly, he hurriedly pulled his thoughts back and drove away the gradually perverted brain hole.

Then he saw a beautiful little girl walking in front of him.

It turned out that after Princess Kelly negotiated with him, she finally relieved her daughter to bring it out and let the investors see it.

The little girl didn't have the slightest difference of dignity and humility, and greeted Gu Biao casually.

Gu Biao's performance was very good, without the slightest lustful eyes, just looking at each other calmly.

"Princess Tiffany, it's an honor to meet you. I didn't expect you to inherit Ling Tang's acting skills at a young age. ”

Her mother is an Oscar-winning actress, and she said that she inherited three points, of course, it is already a high appreciation, but it will not look flattering.

However, the little devil didn't appreciate it at all, and she said with a grin: "You don't want to pat me again, and you want to please my father and princess." ”

Gu Biao couldn't help but be a little angry.

This is worse than the second generation of domestic officials, how can you develop a temper?

It wouldn't be strange if he knew that this little devil would kill his mother by speeding in a year and a half.

Gu Biao could only hold back his anger for the time being, and carefully observed Princess Tiffany with cold eyes.

To be honest, she is not as beautiful as her mother when she was young, probably because her father, King Rainier III, is holding back her genes.

To use an analogy with a data that everyone can understand, it is roughly equivalent to the eighty percent appearance of Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday".

Just now, Gu Biao also saw a few other photos displayed in Kelly's villa, among which there was Tiffany's eldest sister Princess Caroline, but that Caroline was a little more beautiful, equivalent to ninety percent of Audrey Hepburn.

However, it is not excluded that the eldest princess has been raised as a prince since she was a child, and her dress and temperament are very virtuous, so it is easy to highlight her beauty. And Tiffany is too wild and childish, plus a 15-year-old girl is not as figure-conscious as an adult royal sister, and she is a little baby fat.

If you carefully clean up after transforming into a lady's outfit and carry out professional body management, you may have the hope of hitting 0.9 Hepburn.

Gu Biao put away his observation and began to secretly calculate.

He lived to be eighteen years old, and to be honest, he never put much thought into women. is more pity for Mina, and has a bit of sympathy for Xiao Sui, but in the final analysis, Gu Biao never has to chase women.

At this moment, of course, he doesn't want to chase women, but since he just moved the idea of "having a good relationship with the Monaco royal family, maybe it will be useful, and he will be able to have more ways in the future", Gu Biao is also very able to endure humiliation, purely to make a few more friends.

Isn't it just to coax the little girl, Gu Biao still doesn't believe in this evil.

He is so handsome, so successful, so personal, what's so difficult!

"Tiffany, I think you think you think too much of yourself to please me. Gu Biao changed his tone and said proudly.

Even the title was omitted, and the "Princess Tiffany" at the beginning became only "Tiffany".

Then, he didn't wait for the other party's reaction, and immediately picked up half a sentence: "I said that your acting skills are acceptable, that is, I believe that you will not drag my movie back, that's all." If you're going to make my movie lose money, I'm too lazy to bother with you. ”

Gu Biao turned from respectful to rude, which made Tiffany a little unhappy at first, but it was not too unhappy. Because she has been used to others coaxing her since she was a child, she feels quite novel when she is slightly scolded.

But it is only a little novel, not like in those brain-dead romance stories, because "Eh, why does everyone coax me, but this man doesn't coax me?" and has a sense of control over Gu Biao.

After all, there are so many girls in the real world who commit so much offense that they have to understand the opposite sex who are not interested, and even if there are, it is difficult to encounter rare animals.

However, Gu Biao's businesslike words, the strength and vision he declared, really made Princess Tiffany have some expectations.

A fifteen-year-old girl is in desperate need of recognition from the outside world.

The reason why she disagrees with her mother's contribution to find a French crew to play with her is because she wants to be tested by the market and wants to know if her aesthetics and performing arts are really accepted.

Because niche literature and art can be faked, with Princess Kelly's wrist, she bought off several French academics, and applauded that Tiffany starred in a good role, a generation of performing artists...... That's easy.

But to really accept the test of the box office, the princess and the prince can't fake it. In other words, all the madness of this little girl is eager to prove that she really has the ability, not relying on her father. (Although in fact she relies on her father)

"Hey, do you really think this film will make a lot of money at the box office? Will ordinary audiences in the United States like me?" she couldn't help but poke Gu Wei.

Gu Biao, of course, knows how to handle a scheming little girl: "Of course, but you just don't hold back, and you just show what the card director wants." The film is really popular because of the good script and good creative conception. ”

Tiffany thought for a moment: "Then I'm satisfied, I'll behave well later." I've heard that a $5 million investment in a film will cost 15 million at the box office to earn it back, right? In other words, do you think this film can sell more than 15 million?"

"It's more than 5 million – he's almost out of money. Gu Biao said, with an angry and businesslike expression, and pointed to Cameron next to him, "This old brother is too capable of spending money, I estimate that I will spend 8 million in the end, at least 20 million at the box office to return to the cost." But I'm not afraid, this film will far exceed the box office of 30 million. ”

Tiffany thought for a moment: "Okay, if it's really more than $30 million, I'm going to invite everyone to dinner, including you, how about it?" I believe this is the best proof for me, because they can't buy the judges and artists to give me random high scores, only the people can't buy it." ”

Gu Biao gave the other party a roll of his eyes: "Then you underestimate the fake person too much." Originally, it was just that no one had the motive to fake, and if they really wanted to fake, what can't they fake? Just spend 10 million US dollars to buy tickets and swipe tickets, and in the end, in fact, no one will look at it, and the box office statistics will still be inflated.

Besides, fortunately, my company does not have any capital operation at present, if you are like Columbia Pictures, it is a public company. Box office fraud has inflated the company's performance and the value of subordinate stars, and it is easy to make money back from the capital market. ”

Gu Biao came back from the Internet era in later generations, so he doesn't know too much about how to get involved with financial capital in the entertainment industry - even if the layman eats melons before the masses see the ice thing, at least the two points of yin and yang contracts and false box office, Gu Biao has long been spurned.
