While Iprasim and Mahathir were fighting over each other to shirk responsibility for the failure, on the Chinese side, Gu Kun was generously rewarding his allies and partners and sharing the fruits of victory.
This wave of thunderous operations in June instantly raised the quality of Lanfang's tourism market, and this step of progress is firmly in the hands of Diba people.
Therefore, as July approaches and the summer heats up, Gu Kun specially takes some time to leave his dormant nest of Lanfang and go north to China for a vacation and get together with his comrades.
Lanfang is located in the tropics. July is already too hot and not suitable for living. The tourism industry has also entered a relatively off-season - although it is definitely more popular than usual when there are no holidays, it is definitely more popular than the May 11th holiday or even the winter holiday.
It's much worse.
Take the Lanfang Sailing Hotel as an example. During the winter vacation, May Day, and National Day, the occupancy rate is always full, but the occupancy rate usually fluctuates between 60% and 70%. During the two months of summer vacation, the occupancy rate is
Barely 80%.
(Not counting when it first opened last year. At that time, the occupancy rate was very high, mainly because there were many rich and famous people who gathered together, which was very fresh. Nearly a year has passed, and after these accumulated curiosities have been released, they have entered daily life.
The business rhythm has changed.)
Other tourist facilities in Lanfang basically have seasonal performance fluctuations of this proportion.
On the other hand, this summer vacation, "Lanfang Jiaotong University" has officially opened its first anniversary. In the first year of the school, it only accepted freshmen and sophomore students. Now, one year later, when the school starts again, the campus can finally
There are three grades coexisting, and a master's degree program will be available in the next year.
When the school was first established last year, the campus construction had not yet been completed. Everyone had to find ready-made teaching buildings and temporary supporting facilities for classes. In this year, all the campuses of Lanfang Jiaotong University were officially completed, and one school could not enroll more students every year.
For a school with more than a thousand students, Gu Kun allocated nearly a thousand acres of land for the campus, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The construction is also very elegant and high-end. This is entirely to allow his wife, Princess Zhu Youran, to have a better environment when she studies.
He can be regarded as an example of a maniac who dotes on his wife.
Zhu Youran studied at Lan Fang's house for a year. She was a little bored at first, but it was too hot during the summer vacation, so she followed her husband to the north to revisit her old hometown.
People are like this. If you live in one place for a long time, you will get bored. If you don't go back to your hometown for a year or two, you will feel homesick. If you stay at home for a year, you will want to go out and wander around.
It's just a matter of public and private convenience.
…
On July 1, Gu Kun's special plane took off smoothly from Lanfang International Airport, carrying Gu Kun, his wife and their entourage, and went straight to Xiaoshan International Airport in Ark City.
Just five or six minutes before they took off, a China Eastern Airlines A320 civil airliner had just taken off, and it was flying the same route - Xiaoshan International Airport in Ark City, which was put into commercial use in early 2001.
Prior to this, due to the problem of the scale of Chinese tourists and the fact that Chinese consumers were generally relatively poor in the late 1990s, in East China, China Eastern Airlines' direct flights to Lanfang were initially only opened to Shanghai and Jiangsu in 1996.
City, take the Hongqiao Airport.
After the opening of Pudong Airport in 1999, the route from Shanghai to Jiangsu was changed to Pudong. In addition, a tourist route from Jinling Airport to Lanfang was opened at the same time. It was not until last year, in 2001, that Ark City opened a new airport.
Tourism civil aviation routes to Lanfang.
With a footprint every two or three years, we can clearly see the gradual development of Lanfang's tourism industry. As of last year, the number of tourists traveling to Lanfang from the free shipping area had exceeded the 1 million mark per year.
As soon as he got off the plane, Ma Feng personally greeted him at the airport. After all, Ma Feng was the most important executor under Gu Kun in the previous counter-intentional plan of travel e-commerce. This time, when Gu Kun came to discuss his merits and reward him, he was of course the first to bear the brunt.
In addition, Boss Bao of Zhonglian Games, who was not closely related to the previous Biancheng Travel Network case, also flew back to Ark City from the capital to have a meal with Gu Kun. Others who received Gu Kun's venture capital
Internet entrepreneurs will more or less come to join in the fun.
Gu Kun's unique Maybach with a double gold shell was naturally transported with his special plane, so when he left the airport, he didn't even have to touch the ground with his feet and drove directly out of the trunk of the car. He was also very kind.
As a reward, Ma Feng led the way with him in the car. After leaving the airport, he headed west, crossed the river and drove along the south bank of the West Lake to Guzhuang on Yanggong Embankment.
When Gu Kun came to the mainland a few years ago, he had already purchased real estate in major first-tier cities from Beijing in the north to Xiangjiang in the south, as well as a few strong second-tier cities.
After all, Gu Kun has been in a state where he can't spend all his money since 1998 - that is, no matter how extravagant his life is, buying a house, buying a luxury car, a yacht, a special plane, or buying an island to be a leader, he can't spend all his money. If he has to,
If you make a few blind investments, of course you can still lose everything.
While housing prices in China are still low, large-scale property purchase is of course inevitable.
There are so many villas next to the Oriental Pearl Tower in Hujiang, and later luxury houses in the core areas of Lujiazui and Puxi. In Fangzhou City, there is the "Gu Village" on Yanggong Embankment, which is adjacent to the scenic spots and historic sites nearby.
In this life, with the existence of Gu Kun, maybe Ma Feng will not open a top luxury club like Jiangnan Club in the future - in the name of Ma Feng, how powerful can it be to open a luxury club? Ma Feng is not
A character who is known for extravagance. Historically, the reason why Ma Feng held the Jiangnan Society was simply because he needed such a place to invite distinguished guests and to facilitate business discussions.
Now that Gu Kun is here, I will definitely ask Gu Kun, the world's number one luxury tycoon, to take charge of this matter.
Ma Feng is not a very possessive person. He is not interested in money. He only pays attention to the use value of things and whether they can be used to help him achieve his goals. As for whose property rights the clubhouse belongs to, Ma Feng definitely doesn't care at all.
So when you think about it, everything makes sense. The future Jiangnan Meeting may be to enclose another piece of land along the southern section of Yanggongdi from Guzhuang, and Ma Feng eagerly begged Gu Kun to come to this humble land in Ark City.
It leaves behind a most luxurious club with top prestige in the world.
But these are all things for later. At present, there is only Gu Zhuang on Yanggong Embankment, and Gu Kun recently plans to stay at Gu Zhuang to entertain guests and reward them based on their merits.
…
"This time, thanks to Lao Ma cooperating with me and luring so many smoke bombs to act boldly, I was able to incite Yang to the point of arrogance and self-destruction. Come on, Lao Ma, I'll give you a toast."
In an antique Chinese-style courtyard in Guzhuang, Yanggongdi, Gu Kun set up several banquet tables and drank with his partners.
Originally, it was Ma Feng and the others who should have taken over Gu Kun's favor, but who made Gu Kun look grand? There wasn't that much fuss.
This Chinese-style courtyard is built with a rain curtain pavilion.
It was originally a zigzag-shaped building with a patio in the middle and a lotus pond directly below the patio. When it rains, rainwater will naturally flow down from the inner ridge and eaves of the zigzag shape, forming several water curtains and falling into the lotus pond.
However, it is early July, which is the hot season, and there is not much natural rain to cool down, so we rely on a silent pump not far from the house and a small water storage tower on the roof to pump up the groundwater.
Then it falls along the ridge and eaves, and the water cools the house. In this way, there is no need to turn on the air conditioner in the house in summer, and it is very artistic.
As for the source of groundwater, it is nothing more than digging an underground culvert covered with quartz sand and going deep into the bottom of the nearby West Lake. The lake water will penetrate through the permeable layer composed of quartz sand and enter the culvert. In this way, the water quality will be very clear, which is better than pumping directly from the West Lake.
Sewage like water is much cleaner.
When Gu Kun entertained guests here last time, these facilities had not been built yet. They were new products this year. It can only be said that Ma Feng, a friend who was often entertained by Gu Kun, was always happy every time he came to Gu Kun's house.
You can feel that something is common and always new, and never the same again.
"Brother Gu, you're so polite. It's just a small effort. The money invested in those black websites was all paid by you. I just showed up and I don't dare to take credit." Ma Feng declined Gu Kun's compliment very politely.
"If you have the money to pay, if you have the face to show your face, you should still thank me." Gu Kun raised his hand without any doubt, and then took out a check.
"Now, here is 30 million U.S. dollars. I calculated that when the Diba people first wanted to invest in Biancheng Travel Network, the market value of Biancheng Travel Network was about 40 to 50 million U.S. dollars. Now after we have ruined it,
, has fallen below the valuation of 20 million U.S. dollars, and more than half of the shares held by Diba people are worth less than 10 million. It seems that there are only about 8 million left.
What you did for me this time was not to increase the market value of a certain business, but to help me kill my enemies. This kind of credit is not easy to quantify, so I will use the valuation of how much you help me kill my enemies.
I'll give you a certain amount of cash - how about it? Is it a good deal? Do you still want to do this kind of job in the future?"
As soon as Gu Kun said this, all the partners were shocked.
This must be too generous. No wonder he is determined to help Boss Gu.
In previous years, Internet company entrepreneurs wanted to win the bet and get extra rewards in front of investors, mainly by increasing the market value of their business, far exceeding the expectations of investors and exceeding the stipulations in the bet agreement.
Mission target upper limit.
However, the cooperation work that Gu Kun asked everyone to do this time could not be assessed in this way, because the black websites they temporarily invested in as bait were all abandoned in the end, and Gu Kun did not expect his investment to increase in value.
.
Therefore, everyone thought that this time it was just a matter of earning some hard-earned money and gaining favors. They never thought that they could also receive large bonuses based on performance.
How can there be such a arrogant fighting style in this world as "I will pay you as much as you help me kill the enemy"? How much hatred and grievances there are.
Everyone vaguely felt that Gu Kun might be trying to strengthen everyone's motivation to uphold justice for heaven and take the initiative to kill the unjust.
"This...how is this so embarrassing?" Ma Feng was so excited that he was trembling.
If he really has another 30 million US dollars, then he can at least raise one less round of capital from Gu Kun. When Ali Baba has burned through the money in a year or two, Ma Feng can use his own money to increase capital and expand his personal
Shareholding ratio in Ali Baba.
This Gu Kun is too selfless, I always feel something is wrong.
