Chapter 729: Sister Believes You Are a Ghost
Gu Ao said that he would not have bad houses in Monaco, but he really would not have bad houses, because he came to Monaco this time, and he had to carry out the land reclamation project with a royal license.
After the land reclamation project is completed, he is a big real estate developer in Monaco, so he still has to ask others if they buy a house.
I set up a villa or two to live in first, but it’s just because I don’t have to worry about this pocket money, and I have to make a difference in how many years.
After all, there are still scarce things that will only be obtained in the future. Rich people will not be able to take out more food in the future. Now they will temporarily endure it and treat themselves badly.
This is not the style of Gu Ao and Mina.
That afternoon, Gu Ao and Mina moved into the house and asked the secretary to help buy it last year, but Gu Ao had never seen it before so he didn't know it was the villa of his own house, so he enjoyed a quiet leisure with Mina.
After playing exciting extreme sports for a long time, it has greatly promoted the relationship between husband and wife. Mina also has a lot of thoughts to talk about, so she closed the door and didn't leave the room for a day.
The next morning, I felt refreshed and had breakfast not long after I was planning to continue my honeymoon trip, but a customer came to me.
Gu Ao was a little disheveled and was afraid that he would be rude when he went out to receive guests immediately, so Mina took over the reception task without hesitation.
Anyway, the girl's clothes are cool, and wearing less is a unique elegance. It is not like a man who wears less is a disgrace.
Of course, what is more important is that the visitor is a woman, otherwise Gu Ao would not be willing to let Mina go out to entertain the guests.
"Carolyn, it's so early, so dedicated." Mina familiarly held the visiting Carolyn in the living room and asked the female secretary to have tea. She saved her titles from His Highness when she spoke, and it was obvious that she did not pretend to be polite to the other party.
The extra friendship between Mina and Caroline also started on Christmas Day two last year and gradually became familiar with each other until last summer vacation.
Mina had not felt Ye Wan's urgent crisis at that time, and had never laid the foundation for marrying Gu Ao herself, so she had a wave of "noble background".
Many people, including these Monacos, thought Mina's little white dew bloodline was really related to the princes and nobles of the Romanov dynasty. In the same group, they were naturally willing to make further friendship with her.
Of course, all this is due to Mina's elegant self. The diplomatic education she received has always been a kind of person who is well versed in various European royal etiquettes. If you change to a girl with a more rustic temperament and has never attended a diplomatic school, you can give her the opportunity to pretend that she doesn't look like her.
The two sides exchanged a little greeting, and Gu Ao had already packed up and came out to entertain guests. His Highness Caroline joked with them a few times and asked intriguingly: "Gu, until last year, I always thought you would marry Mina. You disappointed me so much, why did you marry such a wife without noble blood?"
"It's okay. When I interact with you upper class people, I always introduce Mina as my wife." Gu Ao took the conversation appropriately, "Isn't Your Excellency Onassis who married Jacqueline without marrying Karas, but he finally chose to marry Karas. Jacqueline was married to the public."
Gu Ao's response is really clever.
Aristotle Onassis, the Greek ship king at that time and the richest man in the world in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The family wealth he left in later generations has always been 20 to 30 billion euros. Until the 21st century, his family (his granddaughter) was still the richest man in Greece. The title of richest man in southern Europe has been retained until before 2011. It was only after the Greek crisis that the Italians' Agnelli and Ferrero family surpassed and snatched away.
Gu Ao took the example of a former richest man in the world who had passed away, which was really appropriate. His understanding of winning top-class friends is perfect.
Onassis's ship king married Jacqueline, the widow of President JFK, and his true love was actually the famous Greek singer Maria Carras. Of course, the so-called will of "hope to be buried with Carras" was just a statement from him, and it was not implemented in the end, because Carras died a year later than him.
From this perspective, Jacqueline is more miserable. Her two marriages were not for love. One was to be the president of the United States and the other was to be the richest man in the world.
However, from this point, it can also be seen that a woman of Jacqueline's type is more suitable for enhancing her husband's public image
He was born into a prominent family and had a beautiful appearance. He studied the French literature major, the highest-profile major in literature. He studied at the public university in Grenob, Izeril, Southern France. Before marriage, he worked as a literati for two years. To be precise, he was a column that pleaded for the people and exposed reporters.
This kind of beautiful literary young woman who only sings high profile and does not do anything practical is the most beautiful and will not be too shameful for her husband.
Because if you don’t do things, you won’t do anything wrong. Standing on the moral high ground on the shore, cursing and criticizing current problems will not make you soak your shoes. It is also the same as later Amazon boss Jeff Bezos who found a female writer’s wife, which is clean and easy to deal with.
If you are kind and righteous, you will not be able to do business. Once you become an official, some people will definitely say you are unkind, and when you are a business, some people will definitely say you are unrighteous. This is something you cannot escape.
As a member of the royal family, His Highness Caroline also likes these topics when chatting. After all, for ordinary people, gossip is as friendly as the things around her. Gu Ao's metaphor and commentary obviously match her appetite.
"So, your legal wife is for the ignorant public to see. No wonder in the upper class circle, you still brought Mina out for social events, and you are really 'despicable'..." His Highness Caroline couldn't help but sigh.
Mina was a little embarrassed in mediating in the middle, and she quickly helped the wailou: "Sister Caroline, stop talking about these things, you must have something serious to come."
Caroline took the opportunity to stop the gossip and changed the topic in public: "Is there a serious matter? You have all arrived in Monaco, are you not ready to go to the reclamation construction area to inspect? I still have some questions to ask you."
The land reclamation construction area mentioned by Caroline started construction at the end of February and early March. As mentioned earlier, Gu Ao obtained a piece of land reclamation rights from the Monaco royal family a few years ago because Gu Ao helped them operate and mediated the relevant treaties from the French, and deserved the reward.
After all, if Gu Ao did not have the trading, the timing of the French and British fighting for Haiti's coral ecological protection treaty would make the French embarrassed to set up double standards at the same time, and they could only choose to "grasp the big and let go of the small, be tough on the British, and let the Monacos take advantage of the Monacos"...
With the Monacos' own diplomatic mediation and mental power, the right to reclamation must not be so easy to take down.
What Gu Ao did is definitely worth the exchange reward.
Even after the Monacos took the right to reclamation from a legal perspective, they did not really take action within three years. Instead, they waited for the franchise company under Gu Ao to take action first, filling in the narrow coast on the border with France deep, allowing Gu Ao to bear the pressure.
In this way, as long as Gu Ao, the most sensitive coast, is formed, and other coasts separated by Gu Ao's embankment and do not directly border the French, it will be easier to deal with. During this period, the French have any legal difficulties, Gu Ao will definitely help them settle for the first time for the sake of their interests.
Of course, there is another important reason why the Monacos did not take action immediately, that is, their accounts are not yet calculated for the time being, before Lucia's disintegration, the property risk-averse function of European tax-avoiding countries was not very attractive, and the property price was not high enough.
Traditional construction methods, filling a square kilometer of land will cost more than one billion pounds. Similar to the international airport currently being built in Hong Kong, the reclaiming of land on Lantau Island should have been the cost.
However, in this life, Gu Ao made the scale of the people of Xiangjiang reclaimed a little smaller, and new and more efficient sand-pulling and blowing equipment were installed, which made the total construction budget suppressed, making the Bretanians unable to cheat more Chinese people's money in the last decade of leaving Xiangjiang, and allowed the later takeover authorities to pay off local debts.
Monacos think that based on a 1 billion pound per square kilometer of land, after filling in it, it seems that the profit is not very attractive, and perhaps the double profit is not enough...
For the royal families in other countries, the profits of doubled may be very large, and they are willing to do half of the profits. However, for the royal family of Monaco, because they make too much money, they are not very motivated to small money. In the eyes of His Highness Caroline and Princess Kelly, the profits of less than double are too low and there is no motivation to toss.
Then it’s better to wait, hoard rights and be reluctant to sell, and it’s not too late to wait until the price trend of houses increases.
Anyway, the legal principles of the land reclamation right are already in hand, and they will not expire if they are not used for the time being, and the French cannot take them back.
However, Gu Ao has started construction as scheduled.
Caroline felt that Gu Ao was honest and had just matured his objective technical conditions, so she was willing to fulfill her contract and explore the way and be a pioneer for the Monacos.
On the other hand, Caroline has been working hard in the business world for five or six years, and she is already 30 years old this year, and she has some experience. She feels that the new technology used by Gu Ao seems to be able to reduce the cost of reclamation to a considerable extent. This can explain why Gu Ao's motivation is so active according to the current housing price. It must be because the other party thinks that the cost of this project is lower than expected, so the profit is greater than that outsiders estimate.
Unfortunately, Gu Ao is not a primary school student, how could he ask the other party to find out his real cost?
After chatting in the villa for a while, Gu Ao roughly found out what the other party was about, and pretended to smile and said:
"Since your highness is interested, let's go to the construction site together to see how the planning is implemented. How is it? To be honest, I don't know much about technology. In terms of feasibility, my friends in Xiangjiang helped me prove and budget. I believe what price they quoted me. Uncle Bao, the king of Xiangjiang ship, is a hardcore friendship with me, and he won't cheat me."
Caroline was in her heart: "Sister believes you, a ghost! You little wolf dog is very bad! Will you, a treacherous person, believe the cost you will repay you?"
