Of course Gu Ao knew what the Monacos had made, and he knew that the other party gave him only small profits every time, but there was no need to expose some things, just stop when they were better. (Compared with the part earned by the royal family, it was small profits, and of course it was very valuable to other businessmen)

Therefore, Gu Ao readily agreed to the conditions for the distribution of interests and accepted a small gift.

Before leaving, he just reminded him that he hoped that the Monaco royal family would be fully responsible for mediating the purchase of ships.

In addition, Gu Ao also presented the plan he had prepared to use in the process of buying a ship, and gave him both hands why did you buy an Essex-class to run the gambling industry? What better gimmick do you think the Essex-class is to attract customers compared to other civilian passenger ships?

Princess Caroline and even other members of the Monaco royal family had never thought about these issues.

Therefore, Gu Ao of course had to provide materials, first convince them, and then let them come forward to convince the Americans to believe.

If you don’t believe it and think you have ulterior motives, you will definitely be in trouble when you go to the enemy.

Gu Ao's usual tactical thinking of lying others first must be implemented from beginning to end.

Fortunately, the reason is ready-made, because later generations of Ao County merchants did such things, so Gu Ao didn't need to copy them directly (he couldn't, after all, he had never done his homework before traveling through time). Just make up a few things based on his scientific common sense.

"Many rich people are used to luxury cruise ships, but they have never been on an aircraft carrier, so they are curious. Therefore, using aircraft carriers to modify gambling business ships can attract adventurous and curious customers."

"The lower cabin structure of the aircraft carrier is more closed and has no windows, which is more in line with the needs of the gaming industry to make guests forget the passage of time. Other traditional luxury cruise ships pay more attention to viewing and lighting, and the utilization rate of large cabins is not high."

"The aircraft carrier's loss pipe design is relatively large with electrical margin, and is suitable for installing a ship-based oxygen generator and injecting high-concentration oxygen into the business cabin, which is conducive to keeping guests excited and unable to stop betting..."

Princess Caroline also knows a little about family business. After reading it a little, she felt that it made sense.

"We can follow this plan to advance the boat buying." Princess Caroline made the final decision.

Anyway, she agreed to all the principles, and this is just a matter of operational skills, so she has the right to decide.

Gu Ao stood up, took his coat, pushed the door and turned around to take care of him: "Thank you, but I hope that when I return to China, you will start slowly, so that Americans will not miss you more. I am just to make more money by gimmicks in the future.

You have been in contact with me for so long, and you should know that I am a nation who pays attention to my indifference in emotions and only wants the soul of money. But Americans are too sensitive and they may not think so.

So, if this matter looks like, ‘I just ask you to cash out the gambling license I promised to me sooner, and you can’t fulfill it, then I will make such a suggestion and comfort me’, I think it will be much faster and we have a common interest.”

"Understand." Caroline said, sending Gu Ao out.

The next day, Gu Ao boarded the plane back home.

...

A few weeks, or maybe months later.

Watsonton, a Quadrangle office.

The reason why the timeline description here is so vague is that Gu Ao was not present at the time and he didn't know when this happened.

He was not in a hurry either.

Some things are unhurried even if they are dragged on for several years.

"Director Gates, this is the Commissioner of the Coordination Committee, and this is the Rawls manager of the Newport News Seal and Maintenance Department. They came for the Monacos to propose the purchase of the scrapped Oliscanny."

As the office door was pushed open, a capable female secretary brought in two visitors who had made an appointment and introduced them to Director Gates.

"You're welcome, just call me Robert." The Director had no airs at all, and he helped Commissioner Lucas and Manager Rawls pull a chair.

The visitors also sat down very much, with a cold face.

After sitting down, Commissioner Lucas took the lead in questioning.

Obviously, he is the party responsible for the card review, and the people in the shipyard are more inclined to promote business and do not want to be too busy.

Commissioner Lucas cleared his throat and asked straight to the point: "Robert, I won't say much nonsense. I think the Monacos buy the Oriskani this time, which will cause the military technology attached to it to leak overseas.

We found out that the license involved in the opening of a gambling company by the Monaco royal family this time was also authorized to a Chinese businessman Gu Ao, which means that in the future, there will be Chinese-funded shares in the equity of this gambling company! This does not meet the consistent standards of the coordinating committee. We hope that CIA will accept this evaluation opinion.”

Robert just smiled and said nothing, then raised his hand slightly to Manager Rawls on the other side, and asked inducely: "We should indeed carefully evaluate this question. However, I think it is better to be evaluated by professional engineers, right? You may as well listen to what the person who knows the ship's condition best says."

Encouraged by this, Manager Rawls, who had long wanted to get rid of the mess and earn some modification fees, quickly took out some information: "I think this ship has no value for technical stealing.

As we all know, the main forces in the Navy are the Forrest class and Kitty Hawk class. All ships in these two levels are still in active service. Looking further, the Midway class is about to be gradually retired from active service. Fer has been retired for six or seven years, and the Coral Sea ship is not in good condition, so it is necessary to retreat. However, the Midway, which was first built, is still in good condition.

Of course, this is also necessary. Who made the Midway Island built by our Newport News? The two spicy chickens in Fer and Coral Sea were just because of the urgent production capacity in the war that year, and the tacoma shipyard was used to help with the bad goods. As expected, the quality was not good..."

As Manager Rawls spoke, he had some occupational diseases and began to speak out a few words of slandering words from his peers.

Robert and Lucas shook their heads when they heard this. In the U.S. Navy, Newport News looked down on other aircraft carriers that were manufactured by OEMs. It has been more than a year or two, but decades.

"Please tell me the point." Robert had to clear his throat and remind the other party not to be in a mess.

Manager Rawls smiled apologetically and continued to whisper: "Well, sorry, what I mean is that the Midway class is the oldest antique with reference value for military facts. It can even be said that if F18 had not started service two years ago, even the Midway was unable to be kept, and it might have been scrapped like Fer. Because the Midway class flight deck would not be able to take off and land the F14.

But what is Oriskani? It was just an Essex class, and it was an Essex that served three years later than the Midway class. As Essex, its similarities were all served in 43/44, and Oriskani dragged to 50.

I think the Monacos are attracted to it because they think that its shell ship is in good condition and can use the gimmick of an "aircraft carrier" to attract customers, but they are not military sensitive. After all, the most advanced aircraft that it can take off and land is only the F4 ghost more than 20 years ago. It is one level worse than Midway and cannot even use the F18.

We can imagine that if there are imaginary enemies who want to steal something, why didn’t they buy the scrapped fer before the experiment on F18 in 1983 and successfully boarded the ship on Midway Island? Why did they drag it until F18 to form combat effectiveness and then step back to buy the older Orlistani? So I think this thing is to develop the tourism industry!”

Robert nodded frequently and turned to Commissioner Lucas: "Mr. Commissioner, I have to admit that the expert opinions on Newport News make sense. "Olicani" has no longer been coordinated from a military and technical perspective.

And according to the information I found, the Navy has listed it on the list of 'allowed to be dismantled and sold as recycling scrap iron' a few years ago. The base price is US$2 million, sold as scrap iron. It was also because no one responded and failed to sell it. It is very reasonable for the other party to choose it."

Speaking of the "Olicani" selling scrap iron, this matter has been a lot of trouble in history. The first sale contract was signed in 1988, but the scrap iron merchant refused to pay the dismantling fee and insisted on taking the whole thing away. He dragged the money, and then he had been quarreling for seven years, until it was reclaimed by the Navy in 1995.

As a result, after changing a contractor, he continued to drag the Navy's money. After two years of money, he failed to get the money in place. He terminated the contract again in 1997. In the end, no one was willing to pay the cost of demolition, and it was delayed until 2004. The Navy finally planned to sell it to a diving tourism company. The landslide was sunk because the construction cost of sunk was definitely cheaper than that of demolition.

This third tender was completed for a year or two, and it was finally sunk off the coast of Pensacola in 2006, turning it into a coral-based reef, conserving the marine ecology and operating diving tourism.

So, although this ship was reimbursed in 2006 in history, in fact, it was already a long-term disaster for the 1980s to drag the naval storage fee. Although it was abandoned, you still have to pay the berth fee or storage fee to the maintenance department of Newport News. (There are berths that are specially lost to abandoned ships, and the dock fee is much cheaper than normal)

Cia's men and the Navy, Newport News's men spoke to that faction, and it would be difficult for the people of the Coordination Committee to perform.

Commissioner Lucas persisted for a while and could only switch one angle.

"Since your technical evaluation opinions have to be so persistent, our coordination committee has nothing to say, after all, each has its own division of labor. However, we still hope Director Gates will make the purchase decision specifically made by Gu Ao or the Monaco royal family? What is Gu Ao doing during this period? What is the cause and effect of the decision-making process?"

Robert shrugged: "This is a bit difficult. We are not the roundworms in other people's stomachs. Who knows this kind of motive? At best, we can only list the objective facts based on the principle of unified subjective and objective investigation."

Robert said, then made several calls and retrieved some information.

Their efficiency was so high that Commissioner Lucas didn't wait for a few hours.

"Gu Ao should have returned to China at present. He has recently seen many preparations for some entertainment company projects in Xiangjiang. He should be playing with nong female singers. Well, there are also information that during this period, he returned to the mainland for a month or two, cheated for his fiancée's literary awards, and then donated money to a film and television project called "Dream of Red Mansions" by the cultural department, and made many selected actresses.
