Ding Sanshi, who was forced to the point of desperation by the continued sluggish stock price, had no choice but to personally lead a group of subordinates to Xiangjiang to pay homage to the dock.
Among the people he brought, there were also a few discarded children that he thought he could sacrifice at any time.
If necessary, put the responsibility for offending Gu Kun in the first place on the leader of the pace dog shock department, and then give in to Gu Kun and try to smooth things over.
The flight landed at Xiangjiang International Airport, which had just been put into use for more than a year. Ding Sanshi and his party immediately followed the address notified by Ma Feng and rushed to Victoria Bay, which was the Xiangjiang Yacht Club half a year ago but has now become Gu Kun's personal palace.
Beach Club.
Gu Kun asked Ding Sanshi to go there to meet him.
Along the way, Ding Sanshi looked at the sea view outside the window with a nervous mood, confused and distracted.
The new airport is located on an outlying island in the outskirts to the west of Xiangjiang city, so cars returning to the city originally drive along the cross-sea bridge and coastal highway.
The cross-sea bridge does not connect to Hong Kong Island, but to Kowloon, and then turns south along the Nanwan Tunnel to enter Hong Kong Island.
The scenery along the way is certainly very beautiful and prosperous. When the car came up from the West Hong Kong and Kowloon Tunnel and turned onto Connaught Road on the south bank of Victoria Bay, it was obvious that there were still two or three kilometers away from the final destination. Ding Sanshi was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.
.
"What the hell is that? Such a luxurious cruise ship...oh no, it's a yacht, right?"
Ding Sanshi wiped his eyes and confirmed.
After all, he is considered wealthy, and he can still clearly distinguish between a commercially operated cruise ship and a wealthy person's private yacht.
No matter how large a wealthy man's private yacht is, the superstructure structure has a relatively elegant curve and will not be deliberately made top-heavy in pursuit of a better landscape area——
The reason is easy to figure out. For the super rich, the entire ship belongs to them. If they want to see the best sea views, there is no need to create a lot of viewing spots with duplicate functions. Instead, each part of the ship should be
They are all decorated with functional features.
Only commercially operated cruise ships that need to stack sea-view cabins will squeeze the ship's rails into a tight space.
The boat in front of me is just too huge to look like a private yacht, but its shape and design make it an absolute private yacht.
"This seems to be a trimaran. It's really big. Just looking at the design of the middle part, it looks a bit like the yachts of Paul Allen and Larry Ellison."
Ding Sanshi touched his chin and thought to himself.
The first comparison objects that came to his mind were the co-founders of Microsoft and the boss of Oracle. After all, these two people are often watched and talked about by people in the IT circle as "models to show off their wealth." Successful people in the IT industry
The most familiar playboys who show off their wealth are these two.
As for Abramovich or some of the rich royal families in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, although they also use the same model of yacht as the two brothers mentioned above, but the size is slightly enlarged, the IT elites of those big oil companies do not bother to mention and pay attention to it.
.
There is no doubt that what Ding Sanshi saw was the world's largest luxury yacht that Gu Kun had just "launched".
The hull is over 200 meters long, combined with simple streamlines and even a hull curve with a slight stealth arc of one or two points, which gives people an unparalleled visual impact. (Although it is not actually invisible, it is just more cool to make the curve like this.
It has a more technological feel, like a science fiction movie)
"What's the origin of this boat? Does it belong to Gu Kun?" Ding Sanshi couldn't help but ask the car rental driver he hired.
Of course, if you take a flight with your subordinates, you can't bring your own driver and car, so you make a reservation at the airport in advance and hire someone from a luxury car rental company.
The driver was a local from Xiangjiang, and he always served rich people. When he listened to Ding Sanshi's question, he showed off with pride:
"Don't you know? That place used to be Boss Li's 'Xiangjiang Yacht Club', and it was just transferred to Boss Gu at the beginning of the year. Without saying a word, Boss Gu started a lot of construction work and demolished all the original small yacht berths and built a big one.
Otherwise, how could such a luxurious ship be accommodated? This ship must be thirty or forty meters wide.
It's a trimaran. It's wide. It's very fast to drive, but it's also difficult to turn. When we arrived at the port the day before yesterday, it was almost not wide enough to turn in Victoria Bay. But some rich people spent money to buy port slots.
The right of way was reserved for two hours and no other boats were allowed to pass through the bay, just to make it turn around."
Anyone who has been to Hong Kong knows that Victoria Bay is actually not very wide. The narrowest places, such as the Central-Causeway Bay area to Tsim Sha Tsui on the other side, are less than one kilometer wide.
If a trimaran is 200 meters long and has a turning radius of one kilometer, it will probably be a bit overhanging. It will be like a six-meter-long car like Maybach or Rolls-Royce. Section 2: Reversing into the garage. Two more turns.
That's fine, then shouldn't it be blocked?
"In order to bring the boat in, I spent money to seal off Victoria Bay for two hours... It's so arrogant. The price of Paul Allen's boat is worth the money raised from the IPO of ten Huang Yi companies. This
I don’t know how much the boat is worth.”
Ding Sanshi shook his head and doubted his life.
Buying a toy is equivalent to ten or twenty listed companies, but they are still eyeing you and want to short-sell. If you had known that the Internet winter would come so quickly, they would be so ruthless and even add insult to injury. Why would you offend them?
.
…
Even though the roads in Xiangjiang are generally jammed with traffic, the 3-kilometer drive is still very quick.
Ding Sanshi and a few confidants stood in front of Gu Kun's private yacht club, which used to be the "Xiangjiang Yacht Club", but now the old signboard has been removed and the new signboard has not even been hung up.
"Sir, this is private land - starting with the green spaces outside. Please don't enter casually."
Ding Sanshi had just poked his head around for two seconds when he was stopped by a white bodyguard dressed in a straight suit.
The white man seemed to be at least 1.9 meters tall. His facial features did not look like those of an Anglo-Saxon, but he looked like Vitus, a tenor with a dolphin voice in later generations. He looked Lucian at first glance.
Obviously, Gu Kun is very good at taking advantage and finding Lucians who are cheap and not easily bribed by Oceania and Brittany to serve as bodyguards. In the past two years, he has asked Blackwater Security Company to recruit people from Blackland.
There are fewer unemployed people like this.
Of course, the real confidants must be Chinese. These white people in Lucia are standing guard for outsiders to see. They show off that all the white people here in Gu Kun work for the yellow people. So when choosing people
You should also choose someone who is handsome.
As for the real combat effectiveness, it is completely unimportant. You can't expect Maozi's bodyguards to have any combat effectiveness. They are just a guard of honor.
Ding Sanshi didn't know the truth, so he could only politely say: "I was invited by Mr. Gu."
As he said that, he handed over his business card.
Under normal circumstances, the boss of a listed company like him with a nominal worth of hundreds of millions of dollars would not be so humble. But now is a special case. Who can make the situation better than others. (At its peak, he was worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but in the natural decline of the stock price
Due to the slump and Gu Kun’s short selling, the remaining nominal value has now fallen below 100 million US dollars)
Lucia's bodyguard took a look, went in to report, and then let Ding Sanshi in after a while.
There were people with live ammunition watching on both sides. It felt less like going to meet the richest man in Southeast Asia, and more like going to meet the warlord president of an African country.
Gu Kun did not wait for him in the club at all. After Ding Sanshi entered the club, he only entered through the front door and exited through the back door. He was led directly to the pier of the pier, and then boarded the yacht through the gangway.
Ding Sanshi's confidants were all temporarily stopped and were not allowed to board the yacht. Ding Sanshi wanted to bring a dumpling container on the boat, but was temporarily prevented from doing so. He could only admit his mistake in person first.
When he boarded the deck, he saw the hatch of a zigzag recessed cabin on the rear deck open, revealing eight vertical launch units of anti-aircraft missiles.
That model is actually a Frenchman’s Ziyuan, but Ding Sanshi definitely doesn’t recognize it.
Ding Sanshi passed from the port side to the superstructure, and then on the second floor on the port side, he saw a Dutch goalkeeper close-in defense system that was about to be dismantled. It was said that it was to be replaced with domestically produced 730s to facilitate logistical supplies and avoid future foreign trade of ammunition.
Supply channels are choked.
On the rear deck, there is also a huge apron, which is the kind where all three hulls of the trimaran are combined transversely with a full-through deck. There is actually a Mi-26 modified helicopter parked on it.
The Mi-26 is said to be a high-end cargo that cost 80 million U.S. dollars each in its heyday. It is the largest load-carrying helicopter. The cabin can carry a 20-ton armored personnel carrier/infantry fighting vehicle. Even through the Lucian
The purchase was obtained through unconventional channels during the period of decline. Considering that the helicopter was in such new condition, it could not be less than US$50-60 million.
The key is that the aircraft has been additionally renovated. The exterior painting looks very high-end and elegant. It is a matte blue-gray color that blends in with the sky. It looks very hidden and the details are extremely luxurious.
At first glance, the helicopter's rear cabin still retains the structure that allows armored vehicles to be driven directly up and down. Outsiders can't guess at first glance: Could it be that Gu Kun has some large-tonnage luxury car to transport? Otherwise, why use such a clumsy method?
Yes, what about the large helicopter that can transport armored vehicles?
The rotor diameter of this helicopter is 30 meters long! The length of Gu Kun's yacht is only a few meters, including the gap between the trimarans, the maximum width is only 36 meters. If it is not such a big yacht
, still can’t stop such a helicopter.
Bring Paul Allen or Abramovich's yacht and put it on this helicopter. The rotors should be at least five meters beyond the width of the ship's side on both left and right sides.
Ding Sanshi highly suspected that after Gu Kun received the ship in Lanfang, he insisted on sailing to the mainland, maybe just to change equipment.
It seems that the senior officials are very supportive of this old friend of the Chinese people.
After finally climbing to the upper floor of the yacht owner's living room, Ding Sanshi quickly subconsciously covered his eyes, because the decoration inside the house was really a bit... rough and rich, and the thin platinum-wrapped polished surface could easily catch people's eyes.
Eye.
After getting used to it, Ding Sanshi apologized with a smile on his face: "Mr. Gu, we are all Chinese. Chinese people don't fight against Chinese people."
Gu Kun smiled coldly and flicked the butt of a cigar that was just about the same in front of Ding Sanshi: "You also know that you are Chinese?" He said in a rhythm, "We are just pretending to be rich. Those Middle Eastern and European royal families only have money."
When you are a true aristocrat, why the hell don't you remember that you are Chinese? So you want to 'interpret the economic and business logic of showing off wealth and reveal the secrets', go ahead."
