Gu Kun is the new world's largest luxury yacht, with six floors of buildings above the main deck.
This does not include the terrace on the sixth floor, radar, satellite communication equipment, and laser defense system.
So even though it is still being renovated, it will not affect the hosting of banquet parties at all.
As of the day of the banquet, the functional tank cabins below the main deck were not decorated at all.
Of the six floors above the main deck, only the first three floors have been renovated. The fourth to sixth floors will still have to wait until the Olympics are over in the future, and then return to Lanzhou and slowly enter the shipyard for outfitting.
Today's banquet party will only be held on the first to third floors.
The usable area on the main deck is about 3,000 square meters, the second floor has 1,600 square meters, and the third floor has 1,200 square meters. The total area is equivalent to a standard football field.
There are only nearly a hundred businessmen and their families, as well as two or three times the number of female companions, waitresses, and other supporting cooks/waiters equivalent to the businessmen and their families. In such a spacious space, they can move very leisurely and relaxedly.
After Ding Sanshi and Ma Feng paid homage to Gu Kun and accepted the certificate of nomination, they finally relaxed and truly integrated into the fun and eye-opening atmosphere. At the same time, they still retained some vigilance and tried to take advantage of this opportunity to be more shameless.
Ripe——
In 2000, Ma Feng and Ding Sanshi's status in the world was far inferior to that of Boss Li and other four major real estate families in Hong Kong. Ma Feng himself even had to often make up quotations from Boss Li to increase the power of proof when explaining his business philosophy.
However, the frequency of fabricating this kind of quotations is definitely not as rampant as the fabrication of Bill Gates' quotations. It will take another ten or eight years before Ma Feng can stand upright enough to say all the quotations in his own name, and then again
It would be a few years before it was someone else's turn to fabricate his quotes.
In such an environment, how could visitors from the mainland not cherish the opportunity to make friends?
In order to achieve this goal, it is of course very important to appear to have seen the world and enjoy all kinds of luxury entertainment facilities of the upper class.
Even though the mainland Internet entrepreneurs at the turn of the century had just become rich because of the Nasdaq IPO, their aristocratic background was actually very shallow. They only had money for a short period of time, and they did not have enough time to cash out.
It's easy to feel guilty if you spend a lot of time and alcohol.
"Lao Ma, you are relatively familiar with Mr. Gu. You should have seen all these facilities on this ship, right? I mean at least you have seen them on other wealthy ships? What do you mean in the glass cabin on the head of the auxiliary hull next to it?
Stuff? I think a few rich guys are playing, is that surfing?"
Ding Sanshi took a few steps on the side deck holding a glass of champagne, then pointed diagonally downward and asked.
Gu Kun's boat is a trimaran, so standing on the side of the main hull, you can see the bottom of the auxiliary hull next to it and the part below the waterline.
Ma Feng followed the other person's eyes and saw that part of the location was vaguely buried under the water, so he didn't see a clear reason:
"I've never seen it before. Do you think Abramovich's yacht facilities in Lijiacheng can compare with Gu Ye's? I've never seen this thing before. It must be a unique new thing. I've only heard that Hamburg, Germany
The Lüsen Shipyard in Lussen has priced this ship at over a billion euros! Mr. Gu is too lazy to show off, so he hasn’t told outsiders yet how much it cost.”
When Ma Feng said the last sentence, he was quite proud. It seemed that he knew some details of Gu Kun's show off wealth but Ding Sanshi didn't. That was the ironclad proof that he was more of an "inner circle" than Ding Sanshi.
.
Although Ma Feng is definitely unwilling to live under others for a long time, it is inevitable to keep a low profile and envy him for a while before his net worth exceeds 100 million US dollars.
That tone is a bit like Yu Qian and Gao Feng arguing: Why are you the eldest prince of Emperor Guo and I am the second prince?
The moment these words are spoken, they will not care whether the third party in the context takes advantage of the two people in the circle because of their status as "Father". They will only consider "Father" after they calm down.
” is reasonable.
"You haven't seen it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they mentioned it to those people from Xiangjiang when we were chatting with him at that moment." Ding Sanshi touched his chin and pondered.
"You're so embarrassed, you'll get used to it after playing around in the past." Ma Feng shook the shoulders of his suit, and walked away with a slight sway in a nonchalant manner.
Ding Sanshi wanted to save more face than Ma Feng, so he walked slowly behind and observed secretly.
They walked through two elevators and conveyor belts to the cabin at the bottom of the bow of the auxiliary hull, and walked back and forth for three minutes.
Mainly because the main hull and auxiliary hull of the trimaran are not all connected, only the middle and rear decks are connected.
Therefore, to go from the middle and forward sides of the main hull to the bow of the auxiliary hull, we have to go around all the way back. The hull is so long, and it takes two to three hundred meters to go back and forth and up and down.
On a boat, two points seemed to be only twenty or thirty meters apart, but it took two to three hundred meters to walk. When they reached it, Ma Feng had to shake his head and sigh:
"I know that sometimes when I call Mr. Gu and meet Mr. Gu at home, he will tell me that he was running on his balcony. At first I thought he was using a treadmill, but later I found out that he was running on his balcony.
The city wall of Zhaoming Palace was transformed into a garden. A run along the top of the city wall would only take two miles. From now on, he can not only run on the balcony, but walking on this yacht is a good exercise."
Ding Sanshi scratched his head: "Running on the city wall? That's so boring, facing a pile of stones."
Ma Feng chuckled and said, "You don't know. If the city wall is slightly wider, and there is a few meters above the wall, you can create turf and flower beds for greening. The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are no worse than the rooftop garden."
I visit Mr. Gu frequently and have met him several times. After Grand Duke Zhu Youdong of Lanfang agreed that he would become his son-in-law, the Zhaoming Palace was slightly modified and renovated without damaging the ancient architecture.
Let’s just say that the garden on the top of the wall is a miniature replica of the Beijing city wall renovation plan that Mr. Liang gave to the leader fifty years ago but was rejected. Mr. Liang’s disciple, Professor Chen Congzhou of the Tongji Institute of Technology, was also invited to
Help refine the designed transplant plan.”
Whether Ding Sanshi has any background in the humanities field or not, he was confused after hearing this: "Which Mr. Liang?"
Ma Feng shook his head, showing a hint of disdain: "Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin! Weren't they the ones who took the lead in the reconstruction of the old capital in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China? At that time, Liang Sicheng wanted to retain the city walls of the capital. In order not to look like a remnant of feudalism, he tried his best to be more down-to-earth.
, it was suggested that the top of the wall be converted into a park, and only the sections of the wall that affected traffic would be demolished, but it was later rejected.
Mr. Gu is a man with a big heart. I think Lanfang was interrupted by colonization for more than 130 years. When it regained independence in 1984, its ancient customs were almost gone. Now it has only been five years since Mr. Gu picked it up and renovated it. I will talk about it later.
Maybe it calls itself Little China.
Now that the Internet is on the rise, the tourism industry has been greatly influenced by public opinion. There are so many boasts that "the Tang and Song Dynasties are in Japan, and the Ming Dynasty is in South Korea". I think it will still be unavoidable to go to Heianjing to see the relics of the Tang and Song Dynasties, but it is not necessary to see the relics of the Ming Dynasty.
Went to Seoul to see Gyeongbokgung Palace.
After all, Lanfang uses RMB and speaks Chinese. Zhaoming Palace is a palace left over from the Ming Dynasty. Even the city walls that should be demolished were renovated using the plans of our ancestors that were rejected in the past 20 to 30 years when we destroyed the monuments. Nostalgia for the past will still be there in the future.
Go to Lanfang and see that it’s more classy and decent.”
Ding Sanshi saw that Ma Feng had talked about his blind spots as an engineering student and was still talking non-stop, so he quickly tried to stop it: "Okay, stop talking about this, let's take a look at what this place is doing."
With that said, the two of them were led in by the waitress at the cabin door.
After entering the house, they realized that this underwater transparent cabin located at the head of the auxiliary hull was even more shocking than what they first saw when they looked through the sea water from above.
"This...is this underwater surfing? Won't the water completely submerge and cause the ship to sink?" Ma Feng was immediately shocked.
It turns out that the roof of this cabin is already one or two meters below the water surface, and the bilge is nearly 5 meters below the water surface.
Except for part of the metal frame, most of the structure of the cabin is similar to pressure-resistant tempered glass, but it is certainly not a simple pressure-resistant tempered glass.
In this cabin, you can see the ship rushing forward at a high speed of 20 to 30 knots, and there are several openings at the front of the cabin, which directly allow seawater to pour in at high speed and high pressure, and then flow through a duct to limit the flow and then wash away
In the pool that naturally accumulates in the bilge, it is finally discharged from the hull through a pressure booster pump similar to the one used when a submarine is dewatered and floated.
After all the trouble, it was just to surf under the water, relying on the natural inflow of sea water, purely close to nature.
Several young men from the Zheng family and other real estate families were holding the female stars in their arms at the moment, with a safety rope connected to the front wall of the cabin tied around their waists, flying against the waves.
"Sir, do you need a coach? Or do you want to play by yourself?" Several blond girls with long legs and blue eyes immediately came over and were very polite. It was obvious that they were the coaches of this entertainment facility on the ship.
There will definitely not be so many people in the future, today I think we just added people temporarily for the party.
"This...is the coach, right?" Mainland entrepreneurs are still relatively ethical nowadays. They come to Gu Kun's place for banquets just to have fun, and they don't know how to do sex work, which is for the libertines of Xiangjiang.
"Of course it's just the coach - there are so many people here watching." Mao Niu's female coach curled her lips and looked relaxed.
"Then teach me how to surf. I don't know how to surf."
"The changing room is over there, please change into your surfing clothes."
There's nothing much to say about the surfing process, it's just that trivial matter.
A group of people played for a while, and the most important thing was to lament the luxury of the facilities on the ship for half a day. This idea really transplanted all kinds of luxurious extreme sports into the most natural and luxurious state. Even billionaires had to lament being restricted by poverty.
of imagination.
After he was almost done surfing, Ma Feng couldn't help but ask the white coach: "If you have to do underwater surfing, aren't you afraid that the cabin will break and water will enter?"
The female coach smiled slightly: "There is also a metal pressure shell outside the hatch cover that can be telescopically opened and closed. The quality is as good as the head pressure shell of a nuclear submarine. Before this cabin came in, it had been transitioned through a two-stage pressurized cabin.
Moreover, the cabin you passed by on the way here is where the mini sightseeing submarine is stored, so the transitional pressurization equipment can be fully utilized here to avoid waste."
"On the way here, we passed by that very narrow passage and there was a submarine next to it?" Ma Feng couldn't help being surprised.
"Of course, do you want to take a look? You are the boss's distinguished guests. You can use it before the reception starts."
"Isn't it okay? There are so many distinguished guests, just in case others want to play too."
"It's okay. For the sake of symmetry, there are originally sightseeing submarine cabins on both sides of the auxiliary hull, and the one on the port side is also free. The 360° panoramic view has no blind spots. It is more exciting than the undersea tunnel in the aquarium."
Now that you're here, let's open up the food completely and gain enough knowledge.
Ma Feng gritted his teeth and decided to play it with a shy face, so that he would have more opportunities to brag about his knowledge in the future.
After a lot of fiddling, he tried seven or eight items he had never seen before on the ship before it was finally time to eat.
"It's so worth it to come early today. Whoever came earlier would have made a mistake." Ma Feng, who was still overwhelmed, couldn't help but feel lucky to have arrived early because he brought Ding Sanshi to receive the certificate.
