"That warship next to me, does our country have such a powerful warship?"
"I don't know. My grandfather said that when he was young, he saw bigger warships from the Japanese and Oceanic people."
Off the coast of Port Moresby, as Gu Kun's "Zhusen" gradually approached, locals who were idle in the port in twos and threes came to watch the excitement, and the noise was loud.
I have to admit that these local ethnic groups, which are still dominated by black people, have never seen the world. It is estimated that there will definitely be less than 10% of households with TV sets at home.
That's why when a famous world-class celebrity like Gu Kun appeared, he was at a loss to react - in Western countries, all the children in the kindergarten would know Gu Kun based on the intensive bombardment by all the media in the past half month.
You will also get to know the appearance of Gu Kun, the world's largest luxury yacht.
It’s really a beauty that was thrown to a blind man.
However, the backwardness here also gave Gu Kun a sense of security. The reason why there are more blacks and native Southeast Asian ethnic groups here and very few whites is because it was occupied by the Japanese army during World War II.
Before World War II, at least there were quite a few white people around Port Moresby, similar to those in northern Australia across the strait.
However, during World War II, the Japanese army reached Port Moresby, and with it the waters of the Solomon Islands nearby, they fought a bloody battle on Guadalcanal with the US military for nearly two years.
Therefore, the local snow-skinned dolphins of Breton descent were killed and fled to Australia. The white power was greatly weakened - even weaker than in other countries that became Japanese-occupied areas during World War II.
Because there was basically no back-and-forth in places like Malaya and the Philippines, the Japanese troops came and killed them instantly, so they were not easily massacred. Port Moresby was the front line for two years, and the killings were much more brutal.
.
Nowadays, whenever a white person appears on the streets of Port Moresby, it is easy for people to visit. It is almost impossible for James Bond and others to sneak in and assassinate Gu Kun.
To put it bluntly, as long as there are white people near the dock of the "Jusen", there may be snipers on the ship who are targeting the other party, and they can kill him if he makes any rash move.
You can stop here to discuss business for as long as you like, and you don't have to worry like you would on the Australian dog's territory.
…
Shortly after the yacht arrived in Port Moresby, there were two ordinary Mercedes-Benz S500s on the coastal road, meandering from west to east.
The reason why it was just a Mercedes-Benz S500 was, of course, because Giorgio Armani and his party couldn't take the Ferrari on the plane, so they had to transfer to Port Moresby and then rent a local car temporarily. And this is a city that doesn't care about people.
, the best car is the Mercedes-Benz S500.
Don’t underestimate Port Moresby too much. Although the name seems to be just a port city, it is also the capital of Papua New Guinea. In the capital of a second-rate poor country, it is normal to be able to rent a few Mercedes-Benz luxury cars.
.(This country is almost as poor as neighboring Indonesia. The only difference is that Indonesia has been a colony of the Dutch since ancient times, while East Papua is a colony of the Bretons.)
"The weather is so hot, I don't want to get out of the car for even a minute." Sitting in the Mercedes-Benz S500, the elderly Giorgio Armani personally wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, looking forward to being able to board the ship directly without getting out of the car.
The reason why he was sweating was because he was delayed a little while waiting for the rental car at the airport. Cars that are not brought by his own are prone to minor connection problems, which makes people unable to help but complain about the poor people in third world countries.
In early October, it is spring in the southern hemisphere. The sun shines directly on the equator. Port Moresby, which is only 10 degrees south latitude, is of course maddeningly hot.
You think Gu Kun is just looking for trouble? It would be great to stay in a relatively developed country like Australia and treat guests!
Fortunately, when he arrived at the port, Giorgio Armani saw a scene that made him happy.
Gu Kun's "Zhu Sen" was safely docked at the pier with a long connecting bridge, waiting for guests.
Under the envy of everyone, Armani's car drove straight from the back deck onto the dreamy ultra-luxury yacht.
The superstructure on the "Zhusen" is concave in the rear deck, that is, the side buildings on both sides are tall, but there is a hollow in the middle without the superstructure.
This kind of design is also very common on yachts and even large cruise ships, because yachts and tankers must pursue the best landscape efficiency, and the upper floors on both sides can have a larger surface area to view the sea.
And if the interior is made solid, there will be a lot of uncomfortable and useless stuffy tanks with no view of the sea, which is a waste of displacement. Designers would definitely prefer to have more superstructures along the side of the ship under the same total tonnage.
Cover in two layers, leaving space in the middle.
A few months ago, when a party was held in Xiangjiang, this sunken and vacant deck had not been decorated much. This time Armani boarded the ship again and realized that there was Xuanji inside.
"There is such a big garden on the deck of a private yacht? Is Gu Kun crazy? There are so many rare flowers, plants and trees from all over the world, how can he keep them alive? These things must require different climates, right?
"
It turned out that after the car drove onto the deck and turned the last corner, a garden came into view of Giorgio Armani.
Strictly speaking, this garden is not very large, only about ten meters wide and thirty or forty meters long, with a total area of about 500 square meters.
That means a full 500 square meters of deck space is freed up to build a garden!
The garden is not 100% open-air, but about half is open-air, and the remaining half is blocked by the two-story building above the deck and cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. The distribution of flowers, plants and trees in the garden is also cleverly used
To account for this light difference, plant the plants that love the sun on the outside, and plant the plants that love slightly shade inside.
Gu Kun placed a few rosewood and golden nan countertops on the semi-open terrace, which served as a bar and pier, and placed a fruit plate, tea and wine to entertain guests. There were also a few neat and elegant fruit trees on both sides and in front.
shade.
Mr. Dassler actually saw these scenes when he visited two days ago, but Dassler was in the Great Barrier Reef and the waters of New Caledonia at that time.
The latitude there is more than 20 degrees south, and it is relatively cool in spring, so entertaining guests outdoors will not feel stuffy. Dassler did not care whether the environment was luxurious and only wanted to talk business.
After more than two days of sailing north at full speed, Port Moresby arrived at less than 10 degrees south latitude. As soon as Giorgio Armani got off the bus, he was mentally prepared to be "baked by the heat and lose all manners".
, so I feel more conflicted and concerned in my heart.
However, within just a few seconds, he changed his mind.
"This is obviously a semi-open-air garden, but why is it so cool? Gu Kun actually turned on the air conditioning throughout the ship! Can he even turn it on in such an open place?!"
There is so much oil that it burns.
Gu Kun waved to Giorgio Armani to sit across from him. He also noticed the difference in the other person's expression and took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Armani, do you think this garden is strange, not very beautiful, and not worth spending a lot of money on?"
Do it on the boat."
"No, no, I think this garden is very elegant. There are no gaudy flowers piled up. Mr. Gu's aesthetics is really admirable." Armani quickly denied that this was not hypocrisy, but indeed the truth.
As an artist, I definitely don't like the kind of gardens that are filled with crazy red and purple colors like those of the nouveau riche. Gu Kun's place has bamboos, trees and flowers that complement each other, and the greenery and flowers really make him feel very simple and elegant.
However, Gu Kun's next sentence once again refreshed his three views: "Wherever I am, I am just a layman - the reason why I have this garden on the ship is just the duty of a sailing man. You Westerners should be familiar with the Age of Discovery
Know better than us Easterners.
Ancient sailors were most afraid of not being able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Insufficient vitamin intake would lead to scurvy, so Captain Cook invented vinegar cucumbers and canned fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, I am not used to eating pickles, and I don’t want to take vitamins.
As a result, people planted this acre of gardens on the deck of the yacht.
Come, try the Guadaquila durians from this durian tree, and these plates of golden sunshine oranges, Darwin mangoes and Hokkaido melons.”
Gu Kun casually pointed at the fruit plate on the table, and then Giorgio Armani noticed that these plates of fruit were produced by the fruit trees around Gu Kun.
These fruits are among the top and most expensive in the world, and their growing conditions are also quite harsh.
Although Hokkaido melon is a cold temperate crop, it actually needs Hokkaido’s long-term sunshine and does not have cool temperature requirements. Instead, it needs to be grown in a slightly dark greenhouse. So in this deck garden, Gu Kun planted Hokkaido melon.
An area partially covered by the second deck building.
Durian requires soil that is salt-free and rich in sulfur, so the soil used to grow durian is carefully screened before being shipped to the ship, and the content of various chemical elements is analyzed in the laboratory.
Golden Sunshine orange is the most recently improved variety of Sunkist orange in Southern California, and it can also be regarded as a subtropical and tropical high-light crop.
As for the Darwin mango, it is relatively easy to grow among the four types, because it is native to the northernmost region of Australia across the Torres Strait from Port Moresby. Even if the "Joseph" docks at Lanfang Port all year round in the future,
The climate is also suitable for this kind of mango tree to mature. In fact, if it is slightly worse, it can be solved by "air conditioning the fruit tree for a whole year".
Anyway, with Lanzhou’s oil resources, diesel is basically free.
For the reason of "preventing scurvy and eating the freshest fruits", planting so many precious fruit trees on the deck of a yacht is as arrogant as when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty asked eunuchs to spend the winter in the hot spring soil of Huaqing Palace in Lishan Mountain.
Almost arrogant.
Only Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang were allowed to eat the winter hot spring vegetables in the Huaqing Palace in Lishan. Of course, only Gu Kun, his women, and the occasional distinguished guests could eat the fruits in the garden of the yacht "Zhu Sen."
This pomp and circumstance made it look like people like Dassler and Armani had become Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu who came to meet Gu Kun.
But the women of Gu Kun have become canaries "riding on the back of a mortal concubine to smile".
As long as all visitors observe carefully, they will be instantly suppressed by Gu Kun's aura.
Even if they are already rich people worth hundreds of millions of dollars, they will still lament that "poverty really limits my imagination", and then they don't dare to ask random prices in front of Gu Kun.
