Saturday, July 12, Monaco.

The Mediterranean Sea under the July sunshine, the breeze of the Bay of Ness.

On the quiet sea outside Monte Carlo Pier, a white ship that is as long as the pier's breakwater and is half longer than the Monte Carlo blockage, with ribbons and flags floating, showing its elegant figure majestic and generously. The bow of the ship is painted with the letters of "princess Caroline".

Forgive Westerners, there is no human nature. Anyway, except for the queen and queen, all royal women are called princess, and all men are called princess. Just like the English word "uncle/aunt" to conquer the world, there are no uncles, uncles, aunts and aunts to distinguish between relatives and distant places.

As mentioned earlier, Monaco's territory is only a small place, and there is only one main venue in the country, that is Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo includes the Monaco National Theatre and some other entertainment venues. The main building is about 50 meters wide and 150 meters long. It is divided into three parts. Adding a little annex, it has a total area of ​​nearly 10,000 square meters.

The Essex class is more than 200 meters long, half as long as Monte Carlo's home court. The Essex class's early flight deck was only 31 and 2 meters wide, but later, after modifying the angled deck for take-off and landing jets, it was 38 meters wide.

After careful calculation, the deck area of ​​an Essex-class modified ship is similar to that of the Monte Carlo Center.

This means that this ship is equivalent to replicating the largest entertainment venue in Monaco before.

Such a large ship naturally cannot be parked directly at Monte Carlo Pier. When replenishing supplies, you need to go directly to the French Port of Nice next door to serve goods.

As for the issue of passenger carrying, the boat was connected to the original aircraft carrier. The several layers near the waterline of the original aircraft carrier were protected by armor, without any import and export. Although professional sailors had gangways or cranes. However, since they are now being modified for VIPs, they have any protective requirements and are not afraid of waves in the Mediterranean. Therefore, when the Saint-Nazell Shipyard was renovated, it specially opened several additional passages for boarding and disembarking on the lower floor according to the requirements of the Monaco ship owners to make it easier to connect the boat.

It is said that when this modification decision was made, many people were quite pleased. Because doing so would undoubtedly destroy the ship's seaworthiness and wave resistance, which means that the Monaco ship owner really wanted to let the ship wander in the Mediterranean bathtub for the rest of his life.

When the Americans delivered the goods, they had to ensure that the ship could travel across the North Atlantic to Europe by themselves, which was not difficult to destroy the airworthiness too much.

The Monacos are indeed a peaceful person. After arriving, they confirmed that there was no need to sail again. In order to maximize operating profits and optimize consumer experience, they also have to use their own martial arts rounds.

...

"Is this what the final modification looks like? I really can't tell that it was an aircraft carrier. But it's very generous."

As the brief unveiling ceremony on the shore ended, batches of owners and guests were picked up by boats to the "Princess Caroline". Mina followed Gu Ao, and naturally, on the first boat in front, with those Monaco seekers.

As he got closer, Mina became more and more moved and shocked at the hugeness of this former aircraft carrier.

Last Christmas, when I was on vacation in Nantes, I looked at the shipyard on the other side from a distance across the Loire River, and it was not as shocking as it is now. Now when I looked closer, I noticed that the armor on the side of the ship was opened with rows of large and spacious holes, which were changed to large floor-to-ceiling windows with tempered glass, which was completely to ensure the view in the sea view room.

Judging from the details of the decoration, the entire ship has been beyond recognition. No wonder it only cost more than 5 million US dollars to buy the ship itself. After adding all the decoration, the total investment reached 30 million US dollars.

Mina is also very proud of her husband's business.

A part of a woman's pride must be experienced in person before it becomes more intense.

Gu Ao smiled sinisterly and couldn't help but whisper in Mina's ear: "After the Monacos brought the ship to France, they would also use their martial arts for one extra round. This decision, to be a joke, should win the Nobel Prize. Such high-quality customers will buy retired aircraft carriers to run a gambling company next time, and the Americans should relax the approval process."

Mina's face turned red and she was as excited as if she was drunk.

My husband is doing big things.

The small yacht used as a barge soon leaned on the big ship that was quietly parked there, and Mina no longer had time to continue thinking about it. She followed her husband on the boat, and she felt curious everywhere.

While tourists board the boat, they can also see the elevator position used to load carrier-based aircraft on the same side. Now a new elevator is reinstalled. They are working to load the guests' gifts on the boat and the waiter will send them to their respective rooms.

Because everyone comes here is a distinguished customer, you can't let everyone pick up the gift box personally when boarding the ship. It's too inconvenient. After all, it's a ship modified by an aircraft carrier. With the service quality of the Monacos who have run the luxury entertainment industry for many years, of course, they will get the shipping labels as they get on the plane in advance.

Some people may be surprised: Isn’t it just a boat to have fun? Why do you have to bring so much luggage?

It is mainly because it is inconvenient to board and get off the boat, so the current Monaco royal gambling company has a business model for the "Caroline Princess" as follows: it only accepts long-term customers who travel for three days or a week.

As for those who want to play a few games, I would recommend Monte Carlo on the shore to try their luck and come and go freely.

In order to prevent everyone from getting bored during intermittent fun, the entertainment facilities on the boat are naturally more luxurious than all cruise ships, with plenty of luxurious rooms, restaurants, bars, swimming pools, and 360-degree sea view pods (modified with carrier-based lifts).

As for the air conditioning of the entire ship, all sports facilities and catering are free, this is the best place for the Ji Cao Wuliu.

The three-day package will cover the surrounding Marseille Cannes, and take a walk near the sea. The one-week package will also go to Geneva, Pisa, and Napoli in Italy. If you don’t go ashore, you will only see the coastal landscape.

Boat tickets are also free. The so-called "buying tickets and boarding the boat" is not really just spending money to buy, but as long as you start by paying 100,000 or 200,000 francs of chips, you can boarding the boat.

Even if you keep it on the boat for 3 days/1 week and don’t end up, you just eat, drink, live and see the scenery for nothing. In the end, you don’t spend a dollar on 100,000/200,000 francs. If you deduct some handling fees and exchange them for it, the operator will not blame you.

Gu Ao and the Monacos are so generous and generous.

Today's first flight was a weekly tour. All guests, including Gu Ao and Mina, redeemed 200,000 francs of chips before boarding the boat.

There is an additional discount for the first flight, which is the dinner time every night. All guests can receive a dish with a boat ticket that adds Italian truffles from the southern Alps produced in April, and several other precious meals. (These dishes are not buffets, and the truffles are just a few slices of them with a planer on the dish, not a whole flower for everyone)

Since the Lucian nuclear power plant exploded on April 28, Alpine truffles are expensive in Luoyang, and the Monaco royal family has made such a big deal to warm up the scene.

All customers feel that they only exchanged 200,000 francs of chips. If they hold back and don’t lose, they will definitely make a profit. The bookmaker is losing money and making a lot of money.

Even if you lose a little, everyone can eat one or two top-quality truffles in a week, about several taels, and it is worth tens of thousands of francs.

When used as an aircraft carrier, an Essex-class could hold three thousand sailors, as well as a huge ammunition depot, an aviation fuel depot and an air hangar.

Now it is to be converted into an entertainment industry. Of course, the hangar oil and ammunition warehouses have been converted into entertainment facilities, and some of them have been allocated to be used as guest rooms. But since this is the case, in order to ensure living conditions, the number of guest rooms is still controlled at 600, with a rated passenger capacity of 1,000 people, and all are arranged in the sea view rooms on both sides of the deck, almost covering the entire ship's side.

If a customer is willing to pay 500,000 francs a guaranteed bargaining chips for consumption by himself, he can also ask a single person to occupy a double room. So theoretically, if all the rich are all used, there will be only 600 guests in a boat.

There are also bartenders, chefs and service logistics staff with nearly a thousand people. Rich people always have more things to do and have more detailed requirements. It is not uncommon for them to have as many waiters as customers or even more than customers.

However, the places where these service staff live are much worse than those of the guest rooms, with an area of ​​only 20% of that of the guests, such as bunk beds and beds, and they also have to sleep in shifts. They are all stuffed cans in the middle, and there is no sea view.

Not long after boarding the boat, it was a large cocktail party. Monacos are still very demeanor and will not rush to let everyone play money as soon as they come. After all, there will be a week, so there is no rush. It is most important to let everyone eat, drink and have fun first.

Mina followed Gu Ao and met many invisible European rich people. After a while, she found that most of them were French, followed by Switzerland, Italy, Spain, and a few British people.

Competition in the European gambling industry is very fierce because more than one country is legalized. Germans prefer to go to the Netherlands and hardly come to Monaco.

The British people depend on the situation. If it is an industry in the sun, if it is not an invisible rich man, they also tend to go to the Netherlands or simply the Jersey Islands. Only those British people with unknown industries, or even those who will embezzle Lucia's money and flee to the UK after Lucia's death in the next few years, prefer to come to Monaco.

Of course, Gu Ao and Mina are good young people who are well educated with integrity. They will never end up on the boat. At worst, they will lose a few thousand francs to exchange chips for the chips (although they are their own company, they have to settle the score clearly), and just treat it as a luxury cruise in the Mediterranean.

However, if you don’t end, it doesn’t mean that Mina will not be curious to help Gu Ao settle the score.

Within two days, she witnessed some European bad gentry who could not stick to the wall. After losing 200,000 francs, she couldn't stop and frantically increased the amount and exchanged additional money.

"It's such a despicable and terrible industry. It seems that it also conforms to the 28th law. 20% of people who lose their minds and lose their rationality contribute 80% of their income to the gambling industry." Mina couldn't help but sigh.
Chapter completed!
