Chapter 586
Throughout December, Gu Ao originally planned to stay in Xiangjiang quietly, focusing on business matters.
After all, when I was hiding my strength and resting my time, I was a little tired of playing the role of being addicted to alcohol and sex.
Now the Americans have temporarily relaxed their vigilance against him and regarded him as a comrade-in-arms on the same front. He took a break from his busy schedule and occasionally ate a light and clear stomach.
The confidantes around him also happened to have their own things and were not around him.
It’s useless for other vulgar fans to love him, he only loves to study.
At the beginning of the month, I followed Zhang Zhongmou to travel to the construction site for several days, held meetings every day, listened to opinions from all parties in person, and helped him find Japanese people to coordinate resources. He pretended to be a tiger and threatened the Americans to put pressure on the Americans, so busy Gu Ao was so busy that he couldn't make a deal.
It was around the 10th that Xiangji Electric's affairs came to an end. The main thing that Zhang Zhongmou should worry about in the future, and at least the strategic resources have been filled in place. At least until the chip factory officially started construction in March, Gu Ao would have something new to be busy with.
For example, we talk about some early strategic customers in Xiangji Telecom and look for external ecological partners. (We can't just expect Motorola to give early orders, this is just a guide to the door)
He took the time to calculate the schedule. Tiankun's electronic and entertainment business has nothing major at the moment. After all, there are no epoch-making products to be launched. Shurhof and Yang Shoucheng can handle daily development and market separately, and there is no need for Gu Ao, the major shareholder behind the scenes, to coordinate resources.
So, before March next year, except for the possibility of going home for the New Year in early February, he can take time to go to Monaco for the rest of the time to see how his boat is blocked
The final deal for the last Essex-class ship, the U.S. Oriskani, which had been retired for several years and was raining, was in August.
While negotiating, a ship repair yard under Newport News had already begun to renovate, remove rust, paint and transform power, and weld and remove some unnecessary redundant structures.
Although, theoretically, if the relevant American departments think this transaction is suspicious, they will still stop delivering the shipyard, but they will not be afraid of losing money, because when they start to make changes, the Monaco bookmaker has already paid. Even if the ship is detained and not allowed to be delivered, the shipyard will not refund the money.
This trading model with overbearing terms is so overbearing.
So, in fact, before the signing of the Plaza Accord, and before Gu Ao, James Baker, Peterson and others further joined forces, the line in Monaco had been scrambled for a short time and was operated in parallel.
Therefore, two months after the Plaza Accord was released and more than half a month after the Toshiba case was completed, the repairs and repairs at the US shipyard were completed and delivered.
This construction period seems incredibly fast in the shipbuilding industry, but considering that the ship does not need to consider the seaworthiness and navigation stability, it can be delivered by simply replacing a new diesel engine in the welded and dismantled engine room, and three months of construction can also be done.
After all, this ship will only be used in the calm Mediterranean bathtub in the future, and will not leave the coastline for more than a hundred nautical miles. The biggest storm it experienced in the second half of its life may be the trip from the United States to France.
When it was delivered, Gu Ao was already an "old friend of some American forces", so the food and card that might have been difficult for them, and it seemed that they had never happened.
So, Kung Fu is off the field.
Buying an abandoned aircraft carrier to run a gambling business seems to have easily picked up a big advantage, and it seems that this is a business where "no matter who does it, you will make money as long as you catch the opportunity."
But in fact, does anyone know how many other preparations he has done to eliminate his hatred value in advance?
This new ship, renamed "Princess Caroline" (which was originally called "Olicani" in the warship era), officially drove out of the dock slowly in early December, left the Chesapeake Bay, and drove to Saint-Nazell, France, more than 3,000 nautical miles away at 12 knots. It is estimated that it will be able to drive to France in 12 days, that is, around December 15.
In the French Shipyard in Saint-Nazell, the ship will be renovated for another half a year, making it as luxurious and classy as possible. It will take twice as long to decorate the consumer tastes of the world's top wealthy people than the transformation time taken to "make the ship open", which fully demonstrates the nature of the ship.
The shipyard in Saint-Nazell has always had a reputation for making luxury goods. The fastest and most luxurious blue streamer award cruise ship "Normandy" was built by this shipyard half a century ago.
French man-made warships are not good, but the ability to build luxury goods is more than a little better than their American counterparts. In the fact that Monaco's local area is too small and there is no shipyard, it is of course the most joyful situation to outsource the decoration project to the neighbors of the French. If you have money, you can make money together.
"Let's go to France around Christmas and come back before the New Year. I'll also visit old friends in Europe. Anyway, they attach importance to Christmas, so we pay attention to Spring Festival, which is just a staggering schedule."
After receiving the progress report from Monaco, Gu Ao asked the secretary to roughly schedule the itinerary and then decided like this.
He also prepared to exchange greetings with everyone before leaving Xiangjiang and know about this. Of course, he didn't care about other celebrities in the business world in Xiangjiang, and they didn't want this.
Just hold a wedding with a real rich man, who cares about the guests’ red envelopes?
What Gu Ao cares about is just a statement of attitude, letting celebrities in Xiangjiang and Ao County know that Gu Ao has officially entered the gambling industry overseas.
The gambling industry is an industry that is less powerful than the real estate industry, but is also more profitable. After all, it is not legal in many countries and regions. It is also a sign that he is about to enter this industry, which makes Xiangjiang colleagues look down on him further, making him look sarcastic.
"Xiaotong, help me find the list of treats I received during the last time Shatoujiao Development Zone passed the review, sort out and add them, and leave them to me for a look. Before leaving Xiangjiang a few days later, I will invite a guest in a low profile."
When Gu Ao thought of this, he naturally did it as soon as possible. He immediately called the female secretary Li Ruotong in and asked her to arrange these itineraries for ushering in and seeing off.
"Okay, Mr. Gu, I'll arrange it and take a look." Li Ruotong agreed respectfully.
Just as Gu Ao arranged his follow-up itinerary, a long-distance call came in later that night in his bedroom.
There is no caller ID now, so Gu Ao didn't expect who it would be when he answered, and he was unprepared.
"Husband, where are you in Xiangjiang? No one knew that you called your home. I went around and asked Mina before I knew you were in Xiangjiang."
Gu Ao was so excited when he heard the voice.
It turned out that it was Xiao Sui, a real girlfriend who disappeared after playing for half a year.
In July this year, after Xiao Sui graduated from Lu Xun Academy of Literature, she has never met Gu Ao. She just made a phone call occasionally, and now it is the end of the year.
Gu Ao quickly reacted: "Yes, the Contradiction Literature Award has been evaluated... Congratulations."
When Gu Ao said this, he was actually a little guilty. He delayed the position of the ellipsis for several seconds after the first half of the sentence.
Because Gu Ao was too busy with national affairs and industrial strategies, he didn't care about the academic circle literature awards that were high and weak, and he didn't know whether Xiao Sui won the award on the date of the announcement.
So, he just relied on the other party's breathing sound to judge whether the first half of the sentence was wrong and whether the other party's emotions were good or bad.
Xiao Sui was in a good mood after betting that she did win the prize, Gu Ao pretended to congratulate him with certainty, as if he had been caring about her career.
Xiao Sui was really happy because of this: "Well... you have always cared for others, they are so happy. You didn't call me to congratulate me, because you wanted to avoid suspicion. Thank you for your support. However, now it's settled. I'll come to Xiangjiang to accompany you when I have time. I'm already relaxed now, and I'll follow your arrangements in the future."
Gu Ao rubbed his temples and recalled the promise he had with Xiao Sui.
Gu Ao once suggested that when Xiao Sui graduated from graduate school, she could consider getting married.
However, later, Xiao Sui wanted to be more independent in her career. Before getting married, she relied on her own abilities to win some literary awards, so as not to have no chance to prove herself in her life and be said to be a pure vase.
After delaying like this for half a year, it has finally achieved its true results.
Although, due to the long-term relationship between the two worlds and the nearest relationship between the two worlds, Gu Ao has become more indifferent to Xiao Sui, who has not been together for so long. However, Mina, who has cooperated with many things in the past six months, has become more important in his heart.
But reason tells Gu Ao that marrying Xiao Sui is still a more beneficial thing to the public image. After all, businessman and literati are the most innocent manifestations. Even when the richest man in the future and the richest man in the world and Amazon's Jeff Bezos divorced, wasn't his ex-wife also a beautiful writer?
After all, Mina is an existence with "both good and evil" in public character. It is not conducive to Gu Ao's global layout and hatred value.
As for family property and children, this is another problem, Gu Ao has some solutions.
Jeff Bezos has a way, Gu Ao can have a way.
Gu Ao suggested very cheerfully: "You come to Xiangjiang for a while first, and I'll celebrate you a little. During this period, you will take you to France to have fun. After a while, I will take you to France. The gambling boat I got a license in Monaco, and was renovating it in France, and take you to see the world. You must have been exhausted in the past six months, right?"
"Well, I'm in Beijing now and I'm buying tomorrow's air tickets." Xiao Sui agreed happily on the other end of the phone.
Gu Ao hung up the phone and pressed the bell next to the desk again. A few seconds later, Li Ruotong came in again.
"Xiaotong, the day after tomorrow, I helped me get a cocktail party, and then I invited Mr. Che, some of Shaw's screenwriter seniors, celebrities from the Ming Pao and the Grand Duke. I'll hold a celebration for Suizi,"
"Separate from the banquet for those bosses in the real estate industry?" Li Ruotong asked more inconclusively.
