Chapter 439 Lisboa Casino
Compared to the Pearl of the Orient, Ma Gang is an absolutely tiny place!
In the 16th century, the area of Ma Gang was only 2.78 square kilometers. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, in 1912, it expanded to 11.6 square kilometers, and in 2018, it reached a peak of 32.9 square kilometers.
After that, there was little continued growth.
At the beginning, it was easier to fill the sea because there were a lot of shoals along the coast of Ma Port. As long as some things were transported, the shoals were filled into land. However, the farther back, the harder it became to fill the sea.
Now that Mingzhou Group has a map editor, it is too easy to create land from the sea.
“Yes.” Qin Tao nodded: “I think what Magang currently lacks most is a professional large-scale airport. We can help by reclaiming the sea and building an airport.”
“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: "So, can you change your mind about the berthing of the Dongfang Sea City Wall?"
“As long as the port can be deepened and the requirements for passage are met, we have no objection.”
What else can I say? They rejected the Dongfang Sea City Walling Ship on the excuse that the water depth was not enough. Now, they are helping to dig the port deeper, and they are also reclaiming the excavated mud to build an airport. That is of course the best.
"Thank you so much. Vitalia also said excitedly: "This ship must first go to the Mingzhou Shipyard for repairs. This may take a while. During this period, the port will definitely be able to be dug deep enough to satisfy the requirements. Our navigation needs. "
Of course we don’t start immediately. The dredger is still in the southern waters, and the blockage needs to be repaired. All this will take time. In short, the intention is achieved.
After leaving the relevant units, several people returned to the green innovation company.
There were only a few employees left behind in the company, which looked empty. When the person in charge came back, these people quickly got busy and looked like they were working very hard.
Vitalia sat down on the large seat, enjoying everything that belonged to her.
Xu Zhengyang and Ivan took the instrument and checked it in the room. Sure enough, within a few seconds, the instrument started flashing red light.
Vitalia's expression changed and she looked at the employees outside. It must have been done by those guys outside during her absence. How dare you be a mole? See how you deal with them!
Qin Tao shook his head, pointed to her with his eyes, and then said: "I was really exhausted during this period. Fortunately, we were able to complete all the tasks without any danger in the end."
"Yes, it's really not easy. Mr. Qin, next, the ship will begin to be renovated. Let's talk about the remodeling in detail." Vitalia also began to sit upright.
Qin Tao nodded: "The rust on this ship is too serious. We estimate that it will take at least half a year to polish the hull clean. If some places are rusted through, they will have to be cut off and replaced. Therefore, this first The further work may take a year.”
“One year? No, it’s too long! We just rely on it to make money! Mr. Qin, can you think of a way to speed it up?”
"What can be done about this? It's all manual work, that is, a simple method of hiring more people. Let's try to complete it within half a year."
"Okay, that's all. After polishing it, we must make an advertisement to let outsiders see that our ship is as good as new. Otherwise, people will not come to us for fear of sinking. Let’s have fun, after all, life is the most precious.”
"Well, I think this place should be built into a complex. With such a large deck area, many entertainment projects can be carried out." Qin Tao continued: "Is it more elegant or more popular?"
“We want to take a high-end route and must be more elegant.”
“What about the golf course?”
"Well, okay, let's talk about the bottom. There are ten decks below. What each deck does must be laid out."
"Well, our idea is that the higher you go down, the higher the level. Each floor represents a more noble status and identity. Then, after you get to the ninth floor, you can take the elevator to the ship island, which is the most high-end. VIP.”
“What about the tenth floor?”
“Of course it’s a place where wastewater is stored. We can’t discharge so many guests’ toilet flushing water directly into the sea. We have to protect the environment.”
The two of them were talking nonsense seriously. Xu Zhengyang was used to Qin Tao doing this. However, when he heard that the toilet water was drained into the sea, he still felt like laughing. Next, would he say to do it directly at the bottom? Septic tank?
Qin Tao really said: "Should we pump it directly to the land for treatment, or install a septic tank directly on it? The generated biogas can also be used for cooking..."
“Qin, I heard that the smell of methane gas is very unpleasant, 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? Invite him in.” Qin Tao was very enthusiastic.
"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. He has heard about Mr. Qin's superb strategies before, and he has never made any mistakes. This time, the road back to the country of the Oriental Sea Ducheng has been full of twists and turns. He heard that he was frustrated, and he was also worried about it. Again Later, when I heard the solution, I couldn't help but applaud, Mr. Qin, you are really amazing."
After coming in, Mr. He was full of compliments.
Qin Tao smiled and said: "Thank you for the award. There is nothing we 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 the Green Innovation Company are both prosperous. Of course, this is also Good luck."
“Ms. Vitalia, Mr. Qin, are you interested in going to He’s place? This can be considered as a way to understand the situation of our industry in advance.”
"Okay." Of course, Vitalia couldn't refuse this kind of invitation. If she refused, she might be suspected.
"Let me in, I want to see your person in charge!" At this time, there was a quarrel at the door.
“What’s going on?” Mr. He frowned. Is there anyone else looking for trouble? It shouldn’t be. After the last incident, who dares to come to Green Innovation Company to cause trouble? Aren’t you afraid of hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation?
Qin Tao was also a little curious, but when he turned his head and looked over, he suddenly realized.
Stró!
The French knew there was no chance and had already left. However, Stroh was still full of expectations and was still waiting!
Even though the Oriental Sea Blockade had already traveled more than half of the journey, he was still full of expectations.
He wants to know clearly!
"Let him come in." Vitalia said. After speaking, she looked at Mr. He again: "I'm sorry, Mr. He, we have encountered a small problem and need to deal with it. After we have finished dealing with it, we will come to you. how?"
“Do you need He’s help?”
“No, it’s just a small business misunderstanding.”
Mr. He nodded: "Then I'll go back and wait. I'll be waiting for you at any time."
"must."
Stroh walked in, adjusted his suit, and then looked at Vitalia: "Ms. Vitalia, we obviously had a pleasant conversation, why did you suddenly change your mind? Our Sarato Plus, isn’t it the best choice?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Stroh, we just realized that we overlooked a problem.”
"what is the problem?"
“The water depth in the port is not enough.” Vitalia said: “The port here cannot berth a large ship like the Saratoga at all. Even our current ship will have great difficulties.”
The draft was too deep and the port could not be anchored. This problem finally came to Stroh's eyes, and he couldn't help but want to slap himself. Yeah, why didn't he think of this problem?
I have been busy for a long time, but it didn’t work from the beginning!
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
"We only found out after receiving the notice from the authorities. We had never considered this issue before. After all, it was our first time." Vitalia said.
Stroh's face became ugly. He knew that there was no point in continuing to struggle here.
"Please stay, sir." Qin Tao looked at Stroh: "You guys want to keep the Saratoga, I have a way."
"any solution?"
"Sold directly to our Mingzhou Group, we have opened an aircraft carrier park. The berth is very wide and can completely berth another vessel." Qin Tao said: "The price will be based on the quotation you gave to the Green Innovation Company. If the transaction can be completed, we will We can also ask you to be the captain of the Saratoga, and anyone who has worked on this warship before can come over, we welcome you."
Stroh was very excited: "Okay, then I will go back immediately to report the news."
Looking at the back of this guy leaving, Qin Tao was speechless.
Didn’t you say that American aircraft carrier captains are carefully selected? Not only must he be able to command, but he must also understand diplomacy. Why is there such a naive person like him?
From the very beginning, he was treated as a gunman and came here to work for free. It was impossible to succeed at something, but he still worked so hard. Even if he bought Varyag, he still didn't give up. Now, Qin Tao said he wanted to buy it, and he still didn't give up. Seriously?
Even if Qin Tao paid for it with real money, he would not sell it. After all, the Saratoga did not belong to Stroh.
However, it doesn’t matter if you are naive, if you hit a wall after you go back, what if you are dissatisfied with it? At that time, we can dig him over, and it would be best if he and his friends come together.
After finishing this matter and having dinner, Qin Tao and Vitalia set off to He's house to block the scene.
The car was driven here from Mingzhou by my subordinates, so there will be no problem. I can finally speak with confidence here.
"Is that guy really the captain? Why is he so mentally retarded?" Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh.
"He is indeed the captain, but he has only been the captain for about eight months, so he is considered an agent." Vitalia said, she also inquired about this information.
“Qin, that Mr. He, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?” Vitalia used the idiom accurately.
“I don’t know, maybe they want to build a relationship with us, or maybe they are planning to pull you off, and then take advantage of your urgency to use the Dongfang Sea City Wall as a blockade, and then win this ship over.”
Win over the Oriental Sea Blockade?
Vitalia had a smile on her face: "That depends on whether they have the ability."
Ma Gang has been operating a large number of parking lots for countless years, 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 were brown 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 an annex building connected to the main circular building.
Outside the car door, a special waiter opened the door. When the two got off the car, Mr. He came out.
“You two are indeed punctual. Welcome to our Lisboa Casino.” Mr. He extended his hand warmly.
“Mr. He, the architecture 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 birdcage also has its own meaning."
“Everyone who comes in is like a bird in a cage. The columns at the back are like the chimney 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: "Mr. Qin, you are really amazing. You know all these gossips from the outside world. However, ours is not a real ship after all. Your ship on the Eastern Sea is blocked. 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."
“Where is that? Could it be that thousands of arrows pierced the heart and scythes harvested?” Vitalia said, pointing to the tops of the two additional buildings next to her.
One of them has many small **** and some big **** on it, and the feelings are like Western swords and arrows piercing the heart on the pearl. The other one has many sickle-shaped carvings, just like a sickle cutting leeks.
Mr. He laughed: "These are just decorations, with no special purpose."
The meaning has long been over-interpreted by many people, saying that guests coming in are like caged birds being slaughtered, etc. Now, we can’t say too much, otherwise it will be too chilling.
“You two came at the right time. It’s time for our Paris Crazy Dance Troupe to perform. Do you want to go and see it?”
Seeing Qin Tao's hesitation, Mr. He continued: "Don't worry, it's **** and charming, but it's definitely not vulgar. We are here for a crowd, not a romantic venue. The performance is just for fun."
Qin Tao nodded: "Let's go and take a look."
The atmosphere in the Mona Lisa Hall of the hotel was lively, with countless people cheering around the performance stage. The scene was similar to that of a bar. Up there, there were women wearing bold clothes, dancing **** and hot dances.
Qin Tao glanced at it for a few times, and then shook his head helplessly.
“Why, Mr. Qin is not interested in these?” Mr. He asked with a smile.
"I'm really not very interested, especially those people. What are they wearing on their heads? I can't appreciate it." Qin Tao pointed over there and said, "I might as well wear two rabbit ears."
Rabbit 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. He just mentioned it casually. He couldn't appreciate the afro of this era. He didn't expect that he would be understood as a man of this way, and he was a little ashamed.
However, the description was getting darker and darker now, so he could only change the topic.
"If we want to develop our industry, we must not only rely on these dance performances, but also involve more aspects. The movie "God of Gamblers" a few years ago was very good, but it was a Hong Kong movie. If Mr. He can invest a few If a related movie is set here, it will definitely become famous and attract more people." Qin Tao said.
This is a business issue. Considering Mr. He's wealth and status, shooting a few movies is just childish. At this time, Mr. He thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, shooting movies is one way. However, There are too many movies on land. It would be better if the next one is filmed with your Oriental Sea Wall City as the background. In particular, this Wall City must be mobile and can carry a boatload of people to shoot at sea. The effect must be good.”
"That means you really got on the pirate ship and can't get off." Qin Tao also said with a smile: "However, the shooting skills must be more careful. If it really needs to be moved, a tugboat must be used. If it happens to be hidden in the wall of the city, Just in the shadows.”
The two of them continued walking forward as they talked. After passing through this noisy area, they entered the real traffic jam.
It’s similar to what you see in the movies.
There are many tables, and on each table, there are people in staff uniforms who are responsible for dealing cards. Sitting at the gaming table are the big guys, and the ones standing next to them are the younger guys. These people will occasionally shout, and their voices will be loud. ,Crowded.
“When Duacheng opens for business, these people will definitely join in the fun and go to Duacheng to experience it.” Mr. He said with a smile.
"That ship is not in very good condition and will need to undergo a long period of modification." Qin Tao said, "But that's fine. By the time it opens for business, it might be 1999. By that time, our gambling will The industry will reach a higher level and this place can attract a large number of tourists.”
"Really? Then I have to ask Mr. Qin to help you publicize it throughout the country, and we will also benefit from it." Mr. He said.
Qin Tao shook his head: "We don't need to publicize it, and many people will come here."
Without 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 who need to wash their money.”
Mr. He stopped and looked at Qin Tao with a knowing smile.
This is indeed a huge group!
“Oh, damn, how could this happen! My luck is obviously very good today, no, I want to make a comeback, I want to make a comeback, hurry up, give me more chips!”
"Mr. Liu, you have no more chips. If you still want it, you can only borrow it."
"Of course. I have a BMW outside. Put that car on top and give me twenty more chips!" He said and put the car key on the table.
“Winning first and then losing should be the rule in the game, right?”
"Of course not. Some smart customers can lose first and then win. In the end, we have to give them a large sum of money to block the show. Some people are really lucky. Mr. Qin, are you being deceived by "God of Gamblers"? Right? We don’t have that kind of otherworldly technology here.”
After speaking, he looked at Vitalia: "Ms. Vitalia, would you like to try a few, maybe you are very lucky? If there is any noise here, we can go to the VIP room."
"No, just finish it here." Vitalia said, taking out a credit card: "There are two hundred thousand in it, give me twenty chips, I'll be on that table. "
The person who secured the BMW was a fat middle-aged man.
He sat there, quietly picked up the cards, rubbed them open, and looked at the numbers among them, which was exciting.
Good luck is coming!
Soon, everyone else at the table retreated, except for him and Vitalia.
“All-in!” He threw all his chips on the table.
“Then I’ll go all-in, too!” Vitalia pushed all her chips onto the table.
"Mine has four queens, and I don't believe you are better than mine!" The person who bet on the BMW turned over the cards.
Vitalia had a smile on her face: "Mine is indeed bigger than yours. I have four A's here."
How can it be?
Are you so lucky?
"The little ones are happy, the big ones are sad, and the crazy ones are wiped out." Vitalia asked people to collect the chips as she spoke, and finally took out a few and threw them to other people on the seat: "Take them to go home as travel expenses. Bar."
The man who staked the BMW looked at the chips in front of him with an ugly expression on his face, and suddenly shouted loudly: "No, come back, come back! I'm going to fight you again!"
Vitalia just played for a while and won more than three million! The BMW man lost all his car, so how could he be willing to accept it? He had to get his money back!
“I still have a house!”
“Dude, it’s time to stop.”
"How to collect it? My car is gone. I want to turn it over. Turn it over, but don't leave!"
Vitalia still stood up: "I'm sorry, I'm just playing for a while, and I'll stop when I'm good."
“Don’t leave!” The BMW man stood up and tried to stop Vitalia.
Several security guards came over and quickly stopped him. 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 of it for the crowd, and we'll take the rest with us."
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 make the decision."
Mr. He shook his head: "I was all hurt by the movie. This is really a matter of luck. Ms. Vitalia, you are too polite."
"If we take them all, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the gate." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Let's go and look around."
A few people drifted away, but the myth of Vitalia, the female goddess, began to spread in the crowd. She floated in, only played for a while, and then turned around and left.
who's that person?
The person in charge of a green startup company?
After hearing Vitalia's identity, the BMW man not only lost his car, but also his house. His hands were empty. Thinking of Vitalia's words, he had the urge to cry.
