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 the highest level of 32.9 square kilometers.
After that, I didn’t see much continued growth.
At the beginning, reclamation was relatively easy, because there were a large number of shoals along the coast of Ma Gang. As long as a few things were transported, the shoals could be filled into land. However, the further back, the more difficult it would be 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 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: "So, can you change your mind about the berthing of the Dongfang Sea Ducheng?"
"As long as the port can be dug deeper and the requirements for passage are met, then we have no objections."
What else can there be to say? They rejected the Oriental Sea Blockade because the water depth was not enough. Now, they are helping to dig the port deeper and fill the land with 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 meet the requirements.
Our navigation needs.”
Of course, we didn't start immediately. The dredger was still in the southern waters, and the blockage needed to be repaired. All of this would take time. In short, the intention was 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 seemed 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 they act like moles? Let's see how she deals with them!
Qin Tao shook his head, signaled 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."
"Yeah, it's really not easy. Mr. Qin, next, the ship will start 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 out and replaced. So, this is the first step.
The next step of 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, which is just a simple way of hiring more people. Let's try to complete it within half a year."
"Well, that's all we can do. 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.
It’s time to 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, there can be many entertainment projects." Qin Tao continued: "Is it more elegant or more popular?"
"We want to take a high-end route and must be more elegant."
"Then a golf course?"
"Well, okay, let's talk about the bottom. There are ten decks below. What each deck does must be well laid out."
"Well, our idea is that the further down
The higher the level, each floor represents a more noble status and status. Then, after going down to the ninth floor, you can take the elevator to the ship island, where the most high-end VIPs are."
"What about the tenth floor?"
"Of course it's 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 bad, 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 City Wall 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: "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
You're lucky enough."
"Ms. Vitalia, Mr. Qin, are you interested in going to He's place? It 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, the sound of quarrels came from the door.
"What's going on?" Mr. He frowned. Is there anyone still looking for trouble? That shouldn't be the case. After the last incident, who dares to come to Green Innovation Company to cause trouble? Aren't you afraid of paying hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation?
Qin Tao was also a little curious, but when he turned to look over, he suddenly realized.
Stroh!
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 Fortress had already traveled more than half the journey, he was still full of expectations.
He wants to find out!
"Let him come in." Vitalia said. After that, 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 sign, isn’t it the best choice?”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Stroll, we just realized 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 will have great difficulties."
The draft was too deep and the port could not berth. This problem finally came to Stroh's eyes, and he couldn't help but want to slap himself. Yes, why didn't he think of this problem?
After working for a long time, 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, we are also
This is my 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: "If you 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 aircraft carrier." Qin Tao said: "The price will be based on the quotation you gave to the Green Venture 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.
Isn’t it said that American aircraft carrier captains are carefully selected? Not only must they be able to command, but they must also understand diplomacy. Why is there such a naive person like him?
From the 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 real money to buy it, they 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 him? At that time, you can dig him over, and it would be best for him and his friends to come together.
After finishing this matter and having dinner, Qin Tao and Vitalia set off to He's house to block the scene.
My subordinates drove the car from Mingzhou, 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 Tao nodded. He was probably replaced because he was too mentally retarded, right?
"Qin, that Mr. He, what medicine is sold in the gourd?" Vitalia used the idiom accurately.
"I don't know, maybe they want to build a relationship with us, or maybe they plan to make a scheming to drag you down, and then take advantage of your urgency to use the Oriental Sea Walling City as blocking capital, and then win this ship over."
Win 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 one is probably the Lisboa Hotel built in 1970 (not the Grand Lisboa).
When Qin Tao and Vitalia got out of the car, they saw buildings connected with brown and white. The main building in front of them was a cylindrical Portuguese-style building, which looked 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 out of 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 column at the back is like the chimney inside a big ship, which means that the fate of the guests who enter here is completely controlled by the captain."
Hearing Qin Tao's words, Mr. He had a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, you are really awesome. 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's that? Could it be that thousands of arrows pierced the heart?
Harvest with a knife?" Vitalia said, pointing to the tops of the two additional buildings next to her.
One of them has many small balls and some big balls on it, and the feeling is like the Western sword on the pearl piercing the heart with thousands of arrows. The other one has many sickle-shaped carvings, just like a sickle cutting leeks.
Mr. He laughed and said, "These are just decorations and have 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 sexy and charming, but it's definitely not vulgar. We're 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 sexy and hot dances.
Qin Tao glanced at it for a few times, 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 afros 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, now that the description was getting darker and darker, 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 shot 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 city,
Just stay in the shadows."
As they talked, the two continued to move forward. 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 standing next to them are the younger guys. These people will occasionally shout and make a loud noise.
,Crowded.
"When the boat is opened for business, these people will definitely join in the fun and go to the city 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 *
The industry will be further improved, and a large number of tourists will be attracted here."
"Really? Then I have to ask Mr. Qin to help you spread the word 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 would 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 showed a knowing smile.
This is indeed a huge group!
"Oh, damn, how could this happen! I'm obviously very lucky 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, putting the car keys 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 saying that, he looked at Vitalia: "Ms. Vitalia, would you like to try a few, maybe you are 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, leaving only him and Vitalia still there.
"All-in!" He threw all his chips onto the table.
"Then I'll go all-in too!" Vitalia pushed all her chips onto the table.
"Mine has four q's, I don't believe yours is bigger than mine!" The person who bet on the BMW turned over the card.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Vitalia had a smile on her face: "Mine is indeed bigger than yours, here are four a's."
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." As Vitalia spoke, she asked people to collect the chips. Finally, she 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 pawned the BMW looked at the chips in front of him, his face turned ugly, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "No, come back, come back! I'm going to fight you again!"
Vitalia just played for a while, and ended up winning more than three million! The BMW man lost all his car, 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 pay for it. I want to pay for it. Don't leave!"
Vitalia still stood up: "I'm sorry, I'm just playing for a while and I'll stop when I'm done."
"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 had seen this kind of thing many times.
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 away."
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 away, 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."
Several 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 innovation company?
When I heard about Vitalia’s identity,
In the end, the BMW man not only lost his car, but also his house. He was left empty-handed. Thinking of Vitalia's words, he felt the urge to cry.
