Great warships

Chapter 438 Lisboa Casino

Compared with the Pearl of the Orient, Magang is an absolute tiny place!

In the 16th century, the area of ​​Magang was only 2.78 square kilometers. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1912, it had expanded to 11.6 square kilometers. In 2018, it reached the highest level of 32.9 square kilometers.

After that, it didn't see much increase.

At the beginning, reclamation was relatively easy, because there are a lot of shoals along the coast of Magang. As long as some things are transported over, the shoals will be filled into land. However, the further you go, the more difficult the reclamation will be.

Now that Mingzhou Group has a map editor, it is too easy to reclaim land.

"Yes." Qin Tao nodded: "I think what Magang lacks most at present is a professional large-scale airport. We can help to build an airport by reclaiming the sea."

"Then thank you so much!" The other party stood up excitedly and shook hands with Qin Tao.

Qin Tao also stood up and said respectfully: "Then, can you change your mind about the berthing of the Dongfang Haicheng?"

"As long as the port can be dug deep to meet the requirements for passage, then we have no objections."

What else is there to say? They rejected the Dongfang Maritime Blockade on the grounds that the water depth was not enough. Now, they help to dig the deep port, and even fill the dug mud into the sea to build an airport. Of course, that would be the best.

"Thank you so much." Vitalia also said excitedly: "This ship will first go to the Mingzhou Shipyard for repairs. It may take a while. During this time, the port will definitely be able to dig deeper to meet our navigation needs. "

Of course not immediately, the dredger is still in the southern waters, and the blocked ship also needs to be repaired, all of which will take time. In short, the intention has been achieved in this way.

After leaving the relevant units, several people returned to Chuanglv Company.

There were only a few left-behind employees in the company, and it seemed empty. When the person in charge came back, these people also hurriedly got busy, looking like they were working hard.

Vitalia sat down on the large seat, enjoying everything that belonged to her.

Xu Zhengyang and Iwan took the instrument and checked it in the room. Sure enough, after a few clicks, the instrument started to flash red light.

Vitalia's complexion changed, and she looked at the employees outside. It must be that those guys outside did it during her absence. How dare they be the inside ghosts?See how you clean them up!

Qin Tao shook his head, gestured to her with his eyes, and said, "During this time, I was really exhausted. Fortunately, we finally completed all the tasks safely without any danger."

"Yeah, it's really not easy. Mr. Qin, next, the ship will start to be remodeled. Let's talk about the remodeling in detail." Vitalia also began to sit up straight.

Qin Tao nodded: "The corrosion of this ship is too serious. We estimate that it will take at least half a year to polish the hull. If some parts are rusted, they have to be cut off and replaced. Therefore, this first It may take a year for the first step of the work."

"One year? No, it's too long! We're just counting on it to make money! Mr. Qin, can you think of a way to speed it up?"

"Is there any way to do this? It's all manual work, that is, a simple way to hire more people. Let's try to finish it within half a year."

"Well, that's the only way to go. After polishing, we must make an advertisement to let outsiders see that our ship is as good as the new one. Otherwise, people will not come to us if they are afraid of sinking. Have fun, after all life is the most precious."

"Well, I think this place should be built as a complex. With such a large deck area, many entertainment projects can be held." Qin Tao continued: "Is it more elegant, or more popular?"

"If we want to take the high-end route, we must be more elegant."

"And the golf course?"

"Well, yes, let's talk about the bottom. There are ten decks below. What each floor does must be laid out."

"Well, our idea is that the lower the level, the higher the level. Each lower level represents a more noble status and status. Then, after going down to the ninth level, you can take the elevator to the ship island, which is the highest end. VIP."

"What about the tenth floor?"

"Of course it's where the waste water is stored. We can't directly discharge the water that so many guests flush the toilets into the sea. We have to protect the environment."

The two were talking nonsense in a serious manner. Xu Zhengyang was used to Qin Tao doing this, but when he heard that the toilet water was drained into the sea, he still felt like laughing. Septic tank, right?

Qin Tao really said: "Should we pump it directly to the land for disposal, or install a septic tank directly on it? The generated biogas can also be used for cooking..."

"Qin, I heard that the smell of marsh gas is terrible, I think it's better to forget it."

"okay."

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Wei, Mr. He is here." At this moment, an employee came in to report.

"Mr. He? Please come in." Qin Tao was very enthusiastic.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers. He has heard of Mr. Qin's superb strategy before, and he has never made a mistake. This time, the journey back to the country on the Dongfang Sea Blockade has twists and turns. He heard that he was frustrated, and he was also anxious about it. Later, when I heard the solution, I couldn't help applauding, Mr. Qin, you are really amazing."

After entering, Mr. He praised him all the time.

Qin Tao smiled: "I have won the prize, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, in that situation, we have to break the boat and come up with a solution. Our Mingzhou Group and Chuanglv Company are both prosperous. Of course, this is also the case. Good luck."

"Ms. Vitalia, Mr. Qin, are you interested in going to He Mou's place? It can be regarded as knowing the situation of our industry in advance."

"Okay." Of course, Vitalia couldn't refuse this kind of invitation, and if she refused, people might be suspicious.

"Let me in, I want to see your person in charge!" At this moment, there were quarreling voices at the door.

"What's going on?" Mr. He frowned. Is there someone looking for trouble?It shouldn't be, after the last incident, who would dare to come to Chuanglv Company to make trouble?Are you not afraid of paying hundreds of millions of dollars?

Qin Tao was also a little curious, but when he turned his head to look over, he suddenly realized.

Stroh!
The French knew there was nothing to do and had already left, but Stroll was still full of expectations and was still waiting!
Even though the Dongfang Sea Blockade had traveled more than half of the journey, he was still full of expectations.

He wants to ask clearly!

"Let him in." Vitalia said, and after she finished speaking, she looked at Mr. He again: "I'm sorry, Mr. He, we have encountered a small problem and need to deal with it. I will go to you after we finish it how?"

"Do you need any help?"

"No, a little business misunderstanding."

Mr. He nodded: "Then I'll go back and wait, waiting anytime."

"must."

Stroh came in, adjusted his suit, and then looked at Vitalia: "Ms. Vitalia, we obviously had a good conversation, why did you suddenly change your mind? Our Sarato Isn't the plus sign the best option?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stroh, but we just discovered that we overlooked a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"The water in the port is not deep enough." Vitalia said, "The port here simply cannot berth a large ship like the Saratoga. Even our current ship has great difficulties."

The draft is too deep, and the port can't berth. This problem finally came before Stroll's eyes, and he couldn't help but want to slap himself. That's right, why didn't he think of this problem?
I've been busy for a long time, but I can't do it from the beginning!
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"We only found out after receiving the notification from the authorities. We hadn't considered this issue before. After all, it was our first time." Vitalia said.

Stroh's face became ugly, and he knew that it was pointless to continue entanglement here.

"Please stay, sir." Qin Tao looked at Stroh: "You want to keep the Saratoga, I have a way."

"any solution?"

"Sell directly to Mingzhou Group. We opened an aircraft carrier park with a wide berth, and we can park another one." Qin Tao said: "The price will be based on the quotation you gave to Chuanglv Company. If the transaction can be completed, we will I can also invite you to be the captain of the Saratoga, and anyone who used to work on this warship can come over, we welcome it."

Stroll was very excited: "Okay, then I will go back and report the news immediately."

Looking at the back of this guy leaving, Qin Tao was a little speechless.

Didn't it mean that the captains of American aircraft carriers are strictly selected?Not only must you be able to command, but you must also understand diplomacy. How can there be such a naive person as him?
From the very beginning, he was used as a gun by others, and came to work for nothing. It was impossible to succeed at all, but he still worked so hard. Even if he bought Varyag, he still didn't give up. Now, when Qin Tao said he wanted to buy it, he again Seriously?

Even if Qin Tao bought it for real money, he wouldn't sell it there. After all, the Saratoga didn't belong to Strow either.

However, it’s okay to be naive, but if you hit a wall after going back, what if you are dissatisfied with that side?At that time, he can be dug here, and those friends under him, it is the best to come here together.

After dealing with this matter and having dinner, Qin Tao and Vitalia left for He's house.

The car was driven from Mingzhou by his subordinates, so there will be no problems, and he can finally speak boldly here.

"Is that guy really the captain? Why is he so mentally retarded?" Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It is indeed the captain, but I have only been the captain for about eight months, so it is considered an agent." Vitalia said, she also inquired about the news.

Qin Tao nodded, probably because he was too mentally handicapped, so he was replaced?

"Qin, that Mr. He, what medicine is sold in the gourd?" Vitalia used the idiom accurately.

"I don't know, maybe it's because they want to build a relationship with us, or maybe they're planning to play tricks to pull you down, and then when you're in a hurry, take out the Dongfang Sea Blockade as a blockade, and then win this ship over."

Win the Eastern Sea Blockade?
Vitalia had a smile on her face: "That depends on whether they have the ability."

Magang has been operating for countless years, and there are a large number of them, but the most famous of them should be the Lisboa Hotel built in 1970. (not Grand Lisboa)
When Qin Tao and Vitalia got out of the car, what they saw was brown-yellow and white buildings.The main building in front of you is a cylindrical Portuguese-style building, which looks like a birdcage from a distance. The east and west buildings each have a wing building connected to the circular main building.

Outside the car door, a dedicated waiter opened the door, and when the two of them got out of the car, Mr. He came out from inside.

"You two are really punctual. Welcome to our Lisboa Casino." Mr. He extended his hand enthusiastically.

"Mr. He, the building here is really interesting." Vitalia pointed to the building in front of her and said, "It looks like a birdcage."

Mr. He nodded: "Yes, this hotel is specially designed, and the bird cage also has its meaning."

"Everyone who comes in is like a bird in a cage. The columns behind are like the chimneys in a big ship, which means that the fate of the guests who enter here is controlled by the captain."

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Mr. He had a smile on his face: "Boss Qin, you are really amazing. You know all these gossips from the outside world, but we are not a real ship after all. Once the city is put into operation, it will be a real ship jam, and the fate of the passengers will be in the hands of the captain."

"What about over there? Could it be that ten thousand arrows pierce the heart and the sickle harvests it?" Vitalia said, pointing to the tops of the two additional buildings next to it.

There are many small balls and some big balls on one of them. The feeling is like the Western sword on the pearl piercing the heart. The other has many sickle-shaped carvings, just like a sickle cutting leeks.

Mr. He laughed: "These are just decorations, there is no special purpose."

The implication has long been over-interpreted by many people, saying that guests come in, like caged birds being butchered, etc. Now, you can't say too much, otherwise it will be too chilling.

"The time for the two of you to come is just right. Now is the performance time of our Paris Crazy Dance Company. Do you want to go and see it?"

Seeing Qin Tao's hesitation, Mr. He continued: "Don't worry, it's sexy and charming, but it's definitely not vulgar. We're in a crowd here, not a romantic venue. The show is just for fun."

Qin Tao nodded: "Go, let's go and have a look."

In the Mona Lisa Palace of the hotel, the atmosphere was warm, and countless people were cheering around the performance stage. The scene was similar to a bar. On it, there were women in bold dresses dancing sexy and hot dances.

Qin Tao took a few glances, then shook his head helplessly.

"Why, Mr. Qin is not interested in these?" Mr. He asked with a smile.

"It's true that I'm not very interested, especially those people. What are they wearing on their heads? I can't appreciate it." Qin Tao pointed to that side and said, "It's better to wear two rabbit ears."

bunny ears?

Mr. He's eyes lit up, and he nodded with satisfaction: "It turns out that Mr. Qin is also a person in this way."

Qin Tao was a little speechless, and he just mentioned it casually. I can't appreciate the afro in this era. I didn't expect it to be understood as a person in this way, and I feel a little ashamed.

However, now that the description is getting darker and darker, he can only change the topic.

"If we want to develop our industry, we should not only rely on these sex dance performances, but also involve more aspects. The movie "God of Gamblers" a few years ago is very good, but it is a Hong Kong movie. If Mr. He can invest a few If there is a related movie with this place as the background, it will definitely become famous and attract more people." Qin Tao said.

This is a business problem. Considering Mr. He's wealth and status, shooting a few movies is a child's play. At this time, Mr. He thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, shooting movies is a method, but, There are too many movies on land. It would be even better if the next one is shot on the background of your Dongfang Sea Blockade. In particular, this blockade must be able to move, load a ship of people, and go to sea to shoot. The effect must be good."

"Then it's really impossible to get off the pirate ship." Qin Tao also smiled: "However, the shooting skills must be more particular. If you really want to move, you have to use a tugboat. If it happens to be hidden in the city block It's fine in the shadows."

The two of them continued to walk forward while talking, and after passing through this noisy area, they entered the real traffic jam.

Similar to what you see in the movie.

There are many tables, and on each table, there are people wearing staff uniforms who are responsible for dealing cards. Sitting at the gaming table, they are all bosses, and the ones standing next to them are younger brothers. These people occasionally shout, and their voices are loud. ,Crowded.

"After the jam ship opens, these people will definitely join in the fun and go to the city to experience it." Mr. He said with a smile.

"The condition of that ship is not very good, and it will take a long time to refit." Qin Tao said: "However, that's fine. When it opens for business, it may be 99. At that time, our gaming The industry will be improved to a higher level, and it will attract a large number of tourists.”

"Really? Then I have to ask Mr. Qin to help you spread the word everywhere in the country, and we will follow suit." Mr. He said.

Qin Tao shook his head: "We don't need to publicize, and many people will come here admiringly."

If there is no publicity, there will be many people?Mr. He was a little surprised: "Isn't this kind of activity prohibited in our country?"

"Yes, it is prohibited in our country, but there are many people whose money needs to be laundered."

Mr. He stopped in his tracks, looked at Qin Tao, and showed a knowing smile.

This is indeed a huge group!
"Oh, damn it, how did this happen! I'm obviously very lucky today, no, I want to come back, I want to come back, quick, give me more chips!"

"Mr. Liu, you have run out of bargaining chips. If you still want it, you can only borrow it."

"Of course, I have a BMW outside, press that car, and give me another twenty chips!" He said, and put the car keys on the table.

"Win first and then lose, should it be the rule in the jam?"

"Of course not. Some clever guests can lose first and then win. In the end, we have to give them a lot of money. Some people are really lucky. Mr. Qin, are you confused by "God of Gamblers" Right? That kind of supernatural and refined technology, we don’t have it here.”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Vitalia: "Ms. Vitalia, would you like to try two, maybe you are lucky? If there is any noise here, we can go to the VIP room."

"No need, let's finish it here." Vitalia said, and took out a credit card: "There is 20 in it, give me twenty chips, and I will be on that table."

The one who bet on the BMW was an obese middle-aged man.

Sitting there, he quietly picked up the cards, rubbed them all over, and looked at the numbers one by one, which was called excitement.

Good luck!

Soon, everyone else at the table retreated, only he and Vitalia were still there.

"All in!" He tossed his chips onto the table.

"Then I'll bet on it too!" Vitalia pushed all her chips onto the table.

"Mine are four Qs, I don't believe you are bigger than mine!" The person who bet on the BMW flipped out his cards.

There was a smile on Vitalia's face: "Mine is indeed bigger than yours. I have four A's here."

How can it be?

How lucky are you?
"Little Du is happy, Da Du is sad, and idiotic is gone." Vitalia asked people to collect chips while talking, and finally took out a few and threw them to other people in the seat: "Take it home as travel expenses Bar."

The man who bet on the BMW car looked at the chips in front of him with an ugly face, and suddenly shouted loudly: "No, come back, come back! I'm going to block you!"

Vitalia just played for a while, and won more than 300 million in the end!The BMW man lost his own car, so how could he be reconciled, he has to get his money back!

"I still have a house!"

"Dude, it's time to stop."

"How do I charge it? My car is gone. I want to recoup the money. Don't leave!"

Vitalia still stood up: "I'm sorry, I'm just playing for a while, and I'll accept it when I'm good."

"Don't go!" The BMW man stood up, trying to stop Vitalia.

Several security guards came over and stopped them quickly. How could the people who came with Mr. He be harassed here?They have seen this kind of thing a lot.

Vitalia walked away with a smile, looked at the chips Ivan was holding, and said, "Leave half for blocking, and we will take the rest."

Mr. He was very surprised: "Ms. Vitalia, you won these."

"Really? Did I win? Or did you take care of it?" Vitalia said, "Since I won, then I have the right to call the shots."

Mr. He shook his head: "It's all because of the movie. This is really a game of luck, Ms. Vitalia, you are too polite."

"If we take them all away, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the gate." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Let's go, let's continue to look around."

A few people floated away, but the myth of Vitalia, the female god of blocking, began to spread in the blocking field. She floated in, played for a while, and then turned around and left.

who's that person?
The person in charge of Green Ventures?

After hearing about Vitalia's identity, the BMW man not only lost his car, but also his house, and his hands were empty. Thinking of Vitalia's words, he felt an urge to cry.
