Renovations

[Lord Helmchen]

Cait Listen to the Explanations about the Fuel needs of the liner. She was thinking about the need for the liner and that it seemed to burn more Fuel than her Sirian Build Palace Liner. But on the other hand, she didn't really take care of the Refueling of the Red~Velvet~Club, that was something that the quartermaster of the ship would be Responsible for. She would think about it and then have an idea.

Cait: So you say that she will be a Hungry Beast? I can understand that, but we would need to know how much it would cost us to Build those Fuel Deposits, or how much it would Cost to Rent them. Also, we would need some Tanker Ships that bring the Fuel from Gallia to these Depots. I assume that you have Calculated that into your Operations as well?

She said and looked at them while she sipped from her Whisky and would look at them. The things that they have explained about the Routes that the ship would be Effective in would be pretty Accurate. She was sure that they would have the Cabins Booked out in Seconds once the Ship would hit the Market. They had enough Requests for Gallia Cruises over the years that would make her believe this ship would be an Instant Hit on the Sirian Market.

Cait: Okay them Why don't you tell me how much money you need for the Infrastructure to Keep the Liner fueled and Flying? I mean all of this sounds pretty Expensive. But maybe we can Strike a Deal with some Gallic companies to Supply our Refuleign Posts so that we can Save money on buying a Dedicated Refuleing Ship. Also, we have to see if we can Strike Deals with Local Ports for Fuel Storage Facilities as I don't belive that we can store our Gallic Fuel together with the Siriran ones. I also believe you two have a Plan for the Ship itself am I right? I mean I am sure you know that our Guests expect only the best of the Best. So I would say we have to Hire a Gallic Crew and Gallic Artists and Performers for the Entertainment Programs. But I Believe you have a better knowledge of who to Hire for such Jobs. Maybe we can have some celebrities for the Maiden Voyage or even for the Regular Cruises to Entertain the Guests.

With the Security there was nothing to be Added, she would have the same opinion as Hector when it came to the security of the Liner. She would approve the funds to buy the ships and was sure that Hector Would take care of the Rest. Plus the Factor that the Escorts were of Sirian Origin would make the Supply Situation for them like a Walk in the Park compared to the Lucullus itself.

Cait: Yes a Gunboat and a Frigate should be enough for your Security Needs. Additionally, we can Hire Freelancers should the Short-term need for more Security appear. I also can Provide the Funds for the Ships, and the Crews Training. I am sure you already have some Commanders in mind for the Security Escort and the Armored Logistics Transport.

This Level of Firepower should be more than enough when they would stay within House Space. Pirates mostly preferred simple Targets and wouldn't really want to mess with a liner that was escorted by a Gunboat and a Firgatte. But as History has shown, most pirates would also be happy with some booze and some Food from the Liner and would leave the Ship alone if they got there "Payment" in that Regard.

Cait: Just one year? that sounds pretty Amazing. Okay, I have heard enough about Gallic Technology that I don't Understand. But I am convinced that your Numbers add up and that you have a Solid Business Plan for the Liner. I Give you Green Light for the Whole Project

Cait Raises an Eyebrow as she hears that he counts on breaking even and turning a profit within just one Year. She would take her Pad and check it, and she was Pleasantly Surprised that the Calculations would Prove his Assumptions. Sure they were a positive estimation, but even when it would take 2 years this would be a Fantastic Turnover Rate. She had Previously Counted on at least 5 Years of service before they would reach the Profit Point, but this was something that would make her even more Positive for the Future of the Liner.
