"Buy the world's biggest, most luxurious, and highest-end yacht, as well as private jets, luxury cars, ......"

This matter, Gu Kun had to do it in his life, it was nothing more than a matter of time. Now that there is a need to go to Sydney for the Olympics in a year and a half, the matter has been brought forward on the agenda.

Since what he has been doing in his life is to show off his wealth, he wants to use his local tyrant attributes to attract more money worshippers to continue to spend money on him and use Matthew effect money to attract money, which must not be saved.

Looking at the people who bought the world's largest yacht in later generations, the business logic in this is also obvious:

Lucia Gas boss Abramovich, Microsoft second-richest man Paul Allen, Oracle boss Larry Ellison, UAE Abu Dhabi tribal sheikh, Saudi Prince Talal ......

Those who have competed for the title of "the world's largest and most expensive yacht owner" are all representatives of the flanking maniacs, and without exception, they have to buy an NBA basketball team or a football club in the cloth league to show off their wealth.

(Abu bought Chelsea when he bought a yacht, Abu Dhabi bought Manchester City when he bought a yacht, Paul Allen bought Portland Trail Blazers)

It is impossible for Gu Kun to play in the NBA or football team, because he doesn't want to spend money on Oceania and Breton, so his road to showing off his wealth is destined to be more difficult than the others, and he can only spend more money and more effort on yachts and luxury cars.

……

"I'm going to go to Hamburg and order a yacht from the Lussen shipyard in Hamburg a few years ago for what is currently the largest and most luxurious yacht in the world. If it is possible, or financially appropriate, it is not impossible to buy out the shares of the Lussen shipyard, or at least control it—

It's just that the budget will be tight. I would have budgeted 500 million euros just to buy the world's largest yacht, and it could cost 10 times more to buy out the shipyard, and we can't afford to come up with 5 billion euros in cash at the moment. ”

Before leaving, Gu Kun lay on the bed with champagne and said frankly to Zhu Youran.

"Why do you want to buy a shipyard? Do you want to move it to Lanfang? We still want to develop a high-end luxury shipbuilding industry in Lanfang?" Zhu Youran was a little puzzled.

Gu Kun smiled helplessly and self-deprecatingly: "We don't have an industrial base in Lanfang, and even if a luxury brand is acquired, it will not be produced in Lanfang's own country, we just put up a brand, how can it be possible to build luxury yachts?

The reason why I thought about buying it is because this shipyard is recognized as the best luxury yacht in the world, and several previous world records have been made by this shipyard. I took control of them because I was afraid that after I made the world's first, in the future, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Paul Allen would come to me again, and then place an order in this shipyard to build a bigger one, then wouldn't we waste part of the money to fight for the world's first, unless we smashed it again like the arms race...... This kind of thing can save a wave, just save a wave. ”

What Gu Kun said was definitely not a lie, because he was a maritime tycoon in his previous life, and Gu Kun was too familiar with the yacht industry.

Microsoft's second-richest man, Paul Allen, is a prime example of a world record grab, who owned one of the world's largest and most expensive yachts in the early 90s, spending only $180 million at the time. But later, it was successively surpassed by several people such as Oracle boss Ellison and Lucia gas tycoon Abramovich. Those who robbed him also placed an order at the Lussen shipyard in Hamburg, Germany, and when they placed the order, they clearly demanded "more than the previous ship".

Paul Allen was not willing to be lonely, and at the beginning of the 21st century, he spent another four or five billion dollars to rebuild a yacht to regain the world's first place, but unfortunately it did not maintain it for a few years, and was surpassed by Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the Saudis.

It wasn't until Paul Allen died that it was the mid-2010s, and he spent more than $1.5 billion, which may be close to $2 billion including the interior, before returning to the world's No. 1 for the third time.

It can be seen that this gimmick is not so easy to grab, it is easy to be the same as the tallest building in the man-made world in Dubai, there are more than N people competing, and it is even more likely that it is still behind in creation.

Of course, Paul Allen's guy is tougher than any other yachting world's No. 1 guy, and that's just a special case. He is purely showing off his wealth for the sake of showing off his wealth, burning money for the sake of burning money, which is different from the "burning money for the sake of making more money" of Dubaies. So much so that in the end, the people of Dubai were frightened by him, and they didn't dare to fight with him anymore, knowing that no matter how much money they burned, it would be in vain-

This is mainly because Paul Allen, as a co-founder of Microsoft with Bill Gates, also has about 40% of Gates' shares in Microsoft. But this is the same person, just two years after Microsoft went public in 1986 and became a billionaire with a net worth of more than a billion dollars, he was diagnosed with lymphoma in 1988.

So Paul Allen's personality has changed drastically, and since then, Bill Gates is still the one who is obsessed with his career, and Paul Allen no longer cares about the company's affairs, and he knows how to burn money and be happy when he becomes a complete playboy.

In fact, if you change the perspective of another person, who has 40% of Bill Gates' wealth, and then is diagnosed with a terminal illness and may die at any time, then there is a great probability that he will become a crazy demon who burns money and spends money, and just wants to spend as much money as possible before he dies, so as not to make money and not spend it.

It's just that with so much money, the medical conditions that people can enjoy are also extremely good, so Paul Allen actually lived for another 30 years after suffering from cancer, from 1988 to 2018 before dying.

When he died, the proportion of Microsoft's shares in hand had been reduced from forty percent of Gates' to two and a half percent, which means that in the past 30 years, he sold the money equivalent to 15% of Bill Gates' family property for personal luxury-

Of course, it can't be counted that all this money has been spent, because buying an NBA team, a Monaco estate, and the largest yacht are all investments, and the fixed assets are still there. But in any case, it is also very terrifying for people to buy 15% of Gates's family property in 30 years just by buying, buying, buying,

In his previous life, when Gu Kun studied the history of luxury yachts, he studied the battle between Paul Allen and the people of Dubai, and he also felt that this battle was really a stroke of genius.

It can be seen that in the competition in the world of showing off wealth, showing his quality of "Lao Tzu is not afraid of death, not wanting to die, and he is not afraid that the money invested is not cost-effective", how important it is to scare the enemy.

The reason why Dubaiites dare to argue with Abramovich is because they know that Abu spends money to make money, not "no desire is rigid".

But Paul Allen is definitely "no desire is strong", everyone knows that his mentality is "just come and burn it with me, Lao Tzu would like to burn all the money before Lao Tzu's lymphoma attack, and he can't take it away if he dies anyway".

As the so-called soft ones are afraid of the hard, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the dead. Paul Allen can let the enemy know that he is the one who will not die, how dare he fight him if he is instigated by Dubai? Even if the Abu Dhabi consortium has 20 times more property than Paul Allen, it will surrender without a fight.

This is called a family property of only 20 billion US dollars, but 500 billion US dollars of momentum. (Paul Allen's family is about $20 billion, and the oil company of the Abu Dhabi consortium is worth $500 billion)

……

Gu Kun was very envious of Paul Allen's momentum in the field of burning money in his last life, and of course he will have to learn from it in this life.

So, a few days later, when he had just gotten off the plane in Hamburg and went straight to the Lussen shipyard, the receptionist at the Lussen shipyard had just asked about the customer's needs, and he was dismissed.

"I want the largest yacht in the world, and I want to make sure that it is the largest now, not forever, at least ten or twenty years to be the largest, and I can't do it. I'll place an order if I can do it, don't be afraid to spend money, and if I can't do it, give me a roll. ”

Gu Kun first shot out a blue scale knife, with a base of one billion dollars.

You also have to have strength when you talk ruthlessly.

At the end of last year, his cash flow was still relatively tight, but now it's not February, and his real estate stock sector in the Hong Kong stock market will sell stocks worth three or four billion US dollars every month, so waiting for an extra month can at least add three billion yuan in reserves.

Lu Sen Shipyard has sent Chairman Eric Hansen himself to receive Gu Kun, a big customer, but he was still taken aback:

"We can only guarantee that the yacht we build is the best in the world, but we can't guarantee the future years, we can't do your order and not take on other business. ”

Gu Kun: "Your most recent customers are Abramovich and Larry Ellison, right? They gave you $600 million and $700 million, and I can't manage the next 10 years with 1 billion? If not, I would like to consider buying your shipyard, how much will it cost to buy all of this factory? 3 billion or 5 billion?"

Don't look at the shipyard, it seems that there should be a lot of equipment, which is very valuable, and the infrastructure is also valuable. This kind of shipyard that builds top luxury yachts, the factory itself may not be worth the price of three or five boats, because the yacht does not have high requirements for the scale of the shipyard, and the largest private yacht is now 200 meters long, and there are not many hard infrastructure requirements, but the key is that the selection of materials and craftsmanship should be luxurious and novel enough.

Eric Hansen was embarrassed and said, "Can we be pragmatic? The factory is not a public company and there is no need to accept outside investment. Mr. Gu, can you ask why you are obsessed with buying such a luxury yacht? Is it also the need of your business promotion plan? If that's all, we can have other ways to match you. ”

There are many cutting-edge subdivision companies in Germany with a market value of about 35 billion euros, and they are all this kind of company that can be the world's first in a specific segment.

But because its corresponding market is very small, even if it occupies the global market in this field, it will only have a little sales, so the valuation of such a company has risen to three or five billion, and it can't go up. At the same time, they have little financing needs and are typical "hidden champions".

Small but beautiful hidden champions are an important feature of Made in Germany, and most of them do not enter the oil and salt.

Gu Kun didn't expect to really buy the Green Forest Shipyard, since the other party gave him the stairs, he didn't mind taking advantage of the situation to promote his three views:

"Do you need a reason to spend money? I'm not actually from a noble background, when I was young, I was in the business of licking blood with a knife, and I would die at any time, so I had to burn it in time if I earned it.

I am going to Sydney next year to participate in the Olympics, and I think that with my holiday with the cloth dog and the Australian dog, it is possible to be dangerous, of course, use the best things, if you can, please secretly install Aster anti-aircraft missiles and anti-submarine facilities on the yacht for me to improve the security force, and I will give extra money.

Anyway, my style of life is to be happy in time, and I don't want to be tomorrow. Recently, the growth rate of wealth has exceeded the progress rate of my cognitive ability, and in the Hong Kong stock and foreign exchange market, I originally wanted to love my country and save the market with other Southeast Asian countries, but I accidentally became the richest man in Southeast Asia.

If virtue is not worthy, there will be disasters, I think I have earned so much blood to earn today's worth, it is too arrogant, or how much is burned and how much is spent. Who wants to burn me to the end, anyway, I don't even have money for my wife and son. ”

Chairman Eric Hansen was stunned by Gu Kun's words, and I believe that his other customers in the future will also be stunned if they have the opportunity to hear it.

Don't burn money with a person who is down-to-earth about life and death, even if his money is a few tenths of yours, as long as he is down-to-earth about life and death, the small universe that erupts will scare people to death.
