Chapter 157: World Record Destroyer
February 5th, at nightfall.
In the county of Cux, on the coast of the North Sea, it is one of the most high-end hotels in the whole of Hamburg.
Gu Kun, who had just experienced the fatigue of the plane journey and the hardships of negotiating with the shipyard, called room service and asked the hotel staff to bring the dinner.
Although the content of his negotiation is only to buy, buy, buy
Especially when you have to deliberately dress yourself up as a prodigal son who is not afraid of death and just wants to live to spend the money, the calories consumed by acting skills are very high, and a slight expression is not real enough, which will greatly reduce the effect of the actor.
Germans generally have a very small definition of a city, which is why they have such a small population on their books. Hamburg is an exception, as Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin are all cantonal cities, so there are many subordinate counties below.
The county of Kux, where Gu Kun stays, is about 30~40 kilometers away from the core city of Hamburg, at the mouth of the Elbe River, where the Port of Hamburg is located, and the Lussen shipyard is also here. The hotel where Gu Kun lives is not the highest grade in Hamburg, but at least it is the highest grade in Kuks.
Room service was quick, and the hotel's waitress pushed over local specialties such as steak tartare, salt-baked pork knuckle, fried Bavarian white sausage with Brussels sprouts, and a Swiss cheese fondue to be eaten with slices of bread and sausages.
The standard Swiss cheese fondue is served with only slices of bread, and you are not allowed to touch anything else, and if you have to touch the restaurant, you will feel that you are uncivilized and humiliating to Swiss culture. But when you arrive in Germany, you don't pay attention to it, and the guests can eat as much as they like, so let the Swiss people get out of the way.
Gu Kun is also used to the days of fine clothes and food, and in those days in Bavaria's Snow Lake Castle, he always let the cooks around him cook Chinese or French food, so the crude German food is occasionally eaten with a unique flavor, and he will not be disgusted.
In 99 burgers, it is still difficult to find a Chinese restaurant, because Huaxia is not strong enough. Even if there are localities, they are all vulgar fly restaurants that don't look like style, so there's no need to force them.
After the female secretary Shalanova finished the dishes, Zhu leisurely sat opposite Gu Kun and ate a Brussels sprout silently, seeing that Gu Kun didn't want to say anything, she took the initiative to ask without worry:
"What you said to Eric Hansen today isn't true, is it?"
"What isn't true? It's basically true. "Gu Kun is a straight man of steel, and now he is planning big things, how can he consider the feelings of the girls around him.
He also thought that Zhu Youran was asking whether he wanted to participate in the Olympics and whether he really needed luxury yacht pretending and self-defense......
These points are, of course, true.
Zhu Youran was so angry that he stomped his foot slightly: "I mean your bastard words of 'licking blood with a knife all your life, and you want to spend the money before you die'!"
Gu Kun was slightly stunned, then he reacted, and then looked left and right.
There was no one else, and there could be no bugging, only Shalanova stood at the door very cautiously, and after Gu Kun's eyes swept to her, she quietly and silently exited the room and took the initiative to close the door.
Gu Kun actually didn't want to avoid his secretary, he could only say that the secretary was too eye-catching.
Of course, these words are intended to knock the mountain and reduce the competition of potential opponents. Gu Kun sighed a little tired and impatiently, and did not continue to eat, but impatiently cut a cigar scissor and lit it with a sulfur match.
"I was completely inspired by Paul Allen, the second largest shareholder and co-founder of Microsoft. Sometimes, when you have to compete for the world record of burning money in certain segments, you can make your enemies mistakenly think that you are an outlaw who is drunk and drunk, and burns money without blinking an eye and asking for anything in return, so that you can better deter your opponents and make them dare not follow.
This is actually the same as playing stud, how much bet you can take is sometimes not the most important, the size of the hole cards is not the most important, but the momentum is the most important - this is a kind of game psychology. ”
Gu Kun spoke earnestly and slowly, and reviewed a lot of his considerations at that time to Zhu Youran, which was thousands of words. (The specific content is the same as Gu Kun's brain activities and experience in the previous chapter, so I don't write the word water here)
Zhu Youran looked nervous at first, but only after listening to it did he let go of his small hand that was clenched tightly and let out a long breath.
She involuntarily moved from the other side of the table to sit next to Gu Kun, and finally sat on Gu Kun's lap, her two little hands were still pinched on Gu Kun's trousers, sweating:
"During the day, it makes me worried, and I suddenly feel that this world is too sinister, and it seems that my life is in danger at any time when I do some business!
Gu Kun: "Is it that serious? Even if I'm not so slashing blood now, just scaring the enemy, if I go back two years at most, I'm definitely really ready to die at any time." Who didn't have that kind of mental preparation for anyone at sea, from Captain Drake to Pirate Kidd? You didn't know me on the first day, at least when you first took me as a friend, my life was so dangerous.
It's just that I never felt that this danger was a tragedy, but rather regarded it as a gift from heaven. Thinking about it from another angle, I get excited at the thought that I can use these dangers to hint at my enemies, to let them know that I dare to gamble at any time, and to scare them into playing with the ace of spades. ”
There are a lot of outlaws in this world, but there is no second 10 billion dollar outlaw other than Gu Kun, so the power of this card is worth 10,000 gold.
When Gu Kun needs to put on a posture with others to compete for many world No. 1s, it is enough to scare those undetermined competitors.
Zhu Youran was dumbfounded when he heard it, and the contrast between the ups and downs was extremely significant.
How can there be any quiet years, a small country like Lanfang is easy to be targeted if it is not pro-China, and it is easy to be targeted if it is too pro-China, and it is not worth much.
If we want not to be wiped out, we can only put on a proper show when the Oceanic countries and the Bugou camp show that they are obviously sorry for the people of Southeast Asian countries and arouse the indignation of the people in Southeast Asia, pretending to be pro-China "for a reason" in exchange for some benefits.
"You...... Have you ever thought about when you want to get married? I mean, since you are mentally prepared to be an outlaw, you don't want a son and you have some security?" Zhu Youran's face was red and dripping blood when he said this.
In fact, she is not out of ignorant emotional needs, but purely a bit of a responsibility for the family and country that she has accepted since she was a child as the county lord.
She knew her calling.
"How can it be so exaggerated, I'm just acting today, don't have a psychological burden!" Gu Kun patted her on the shoulder, signaling not to take it to heart.
Zhu Youran breathed a sigh of relief slightly, all these changes were indeed a bit abrupt, and she was really not mentally prepared. Just now it was just her identity, which made her blood boil a little, and now that she sees Gu Kun comforting and delaying, she would like to do so.
"There really isn't any imminent danger now, but before going to Sydney next summer, Kun Ge should still have a future, and the world will be guaranteed. ”
Not to mention being born, at least one must be conceived, and B ultrasound can test both men and women. (Of course, this is not patriarchal, just to inherit the title)
Zhu Youran suddenly remembered his life experience, if his three brothers and sisters, who had never met in his life, died in the bureau made by Bugou, and the mother concubine did not happen to be pregnant with herself, I am afraid that there would be no successor to Lan Fang's Guozuo today.
Cloth dogs and those dogs who make dogs for cloth dogs are always dog ambitions, and they have to be guarded against.
It's more than a year away, so I won't think about it for the time being.
......
In the days that followed, Gu Kun's negotiation strategy of "pretending to be an outlaw" was quite successful.
He walked around Hamburg and communicated with the people at the Lussen shipyard about the yachts to be ordered.
It also subtly implanted the concept of "I, a person who wants to compete for world records in various luxury fields, regardless of the cost, just want to burn the money before I die, and anyone who has a son to inherit the inheritance had better not fight with me, because it is not cost-effective" This concept was implanted into the brains of relevant collaborators.
I believe that in the future, when Prince Dibba comes to Lusen Shipyard to order a world record, Eric Hansen may also imperceptibly convey the threat of "It's better not to rob an outlaw like Gu Kun, otherwise he will do things recklessly and may kill your whole family".
Of course, these are purely strategies, of course Gu Kun will not buy gangs or spy agencies, killer organizations, he just let imaginary competitors imagine him as another Paul Allen, and let them make up those elements of a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain.
"Mr. Gu, the cooperation is pleasant, then the order is set. We charge you 1 billion euros, which is more expensive than the 700 million euros of our first two customers, Abramovich and Larry Ellison, and the indicators will be more high-end than them, and we will keep it absolutely secret from them, and we will not tell them that their ship is behind before it is launched.
The design of the 'Leisure' will be 216 meters long, which is much longer than Abu's 168 meters, and we will use a very advanced trimaran design to ensure stability, so the width will also be much wider than Abu's 21.5 meters, reaching 36 meters -
The central main hull is 20 meters wide, with an all-through transverse deck 8 meters wide on each side, 3 meters wide on each side of the hull, and a draft of only 1 meter wide to ensure excellent fluid efficiency on the small waterline surface, with a total displacement of 24,000 tons. ”
These designs were absolutely advanced and novel in 1999, and many of them were added by Gu Kun during the negotiation process, because he knew how to do it and knew the evolution route of luxury yachts and the new high-tech elements in the next 20 years.
If it is replaced by a tyrant like Abramovich who does not understand technology to place an order, and only knows that throwing money is the largest, heaviest and most expensive in the world, then Party B may only pile up paper indicators and fool him.
Therefore, Gu Kun, an old sea god, came to spend money to buy a boat, so it was not easy to be deceived.
Historically, the Dubai's world record in yachting around 08/09 was launched in 2011 at 180 metres.
Gu Kun directly built the world's first private yacht to break through 200 meters, which is absolutely as shocking as the degree to which the Burj Khalifa was built in 2010 to surpass the second place in the world at that time.
That's not a slight break of the world record, but a direct increase in the original world record by one-third in an instant!
This is similar to Gu Kun breaking the swimming record, either he doesn't break the 400-meter self, or if he wants to break it, he will let the 400-meter heads-up record directly exceed the world record of the 400-meter relay, so that the earthlings know that even if the Oceanic Kingdom sends four people to fight the wheel battle Gu Kun alone, he can't beat it alone.
If you want to break the record, you have to break it a little bigger at once, which is like Gu Kun's style.
