"I always thought that Chef Tai was most famous for his seafood fried rice, but I didn't expect his steamed Napoti wrai to be so stunning, better than the best chefs in Lanfang and Malaysia. Xiao Gu, how about it, have you considered digging some high-end catering industry masters from Xiangjiang to upgrade the level of Lanfang's hotel service industry. ”

"Eh, you can't say that, each has its own merits. If you want me to say, today's Abalone of Chef Yang's apprentice is the essence of Cantonese cuisine. ”

After the reception banquet was full of wine and food, He Lan and Boss Ye couldn't help but talk and laugh with great interest, and they all commented on the advantages and disadvantages of the famous dishes at the banquet just now.

He Lan is more familiar with Gu Kun, and he doesn't pay much attention to etiquette after drinking a little wine, but Boss Ye always maintains the demeanor of a superior person.

At this moment, they are all on the luxury yacht lent to Gu Kun by He Duwang of Aoxian County, and they will take a little night cruise in Aoxian Bay, and then they will ferry the "Isakov", check the condition of the ship, and talk about some private matters by the way.

They are also accompanied by seven or eight core henchmen, who will take over the ship in the future and be responsible for daily operation, maintenance and transformation.

Blowing the sea breeze, Gu Kun seemed very open-minded, and he didn't care at all about He Lan's complaint that the Lan Fang chef was unprofessional, and explained with the friendship of the landlord:

"Although Napoleon wrasse is a specialty of Lanfang and Malay, it is extremely expensive in eastern Guangdong. But it is normal for Chef Lan Fang's cooking skills to cook Su Mei not as good as Master Dai, and there is no shame.

Because Napoleon wrasse is not only delicious, but also has a little benefit in nutrition, which is absolutely incomparable to other marine fish and shrimp, crabs and shellfish. ”

Everyone was originally chatting casually, He Lan couldn't help but be a little curious when she heard this, and asked playfully: "Oh? Please give us some pointers, so that we hillbillies can also open our eyes." ”

Gu Kun looked at the aircraft carrier in the distance and explained lightly: "The purine content of Su Mei after cooking is extremely low, and it is not easy to cause excessive uric acid in the eater. Therefore, those super-rich people who suffer from gout because they eat too much high-end seafood can't help but be greedy, so they can only eat Napoleon wrasse.

This advantage of Su Mei was only discovered by Master Dai in 92 years in the Xiangjiang catering industry, when he was the chef of Regent in his first year, and every time the richest man Mr. Li went there to eat, Mr. Li's secretary would secretly take care of Mr. Li and say that Mr. Li had gout, shrimp, crab and shellfish must not be served, and fish and seafood should also be considered.

Since then, Master Dai has been studying steamed Su Mei deliberately, and has successively pleased the appetites of Mr. Li and He Lao, and only then did he sit in the position of the god of food in Xiangjiang. The soaring price of Napoleon Mei in Xiangjiang is also supported by the status of these gout tycoons. Speaking of which, the first pot of gold I started that year was to sell seafood to Guangdong, and at that time, Su Mei could sell at least 300 yuan a catty, and I have to thank these chefs and diners. ”

Speaking of the bitterness of starting from scratch more than four years ago, Gu Kun couldn't help but feel a little vicissitudes, and at the same time, his inner understanding of the luxury industry was also a little solidified.

High-end seafood, in the final analysis, is the logic of pretending to be business. For those ordinary rich people who do not have the hidden danger of gout, the taste is not necessarily more upscale than that of Dongxing Grouper and Sandao. But since the top rich people with gout use Su Mei for banquets, those who don't have gout can only make it fashionable.

Whoever has the most money will be able to lead the trend with their consumption habits and become a symbol of luxury.

While the group was talking and laughing, the yacht had already approached the position not far from the aircraft carrier.

Because of the waves, the process of approaching is still a bit dangerous, but Gu Kun and the people of COSCO are both from seafaring, so of course they won't take this little trouble to heart.

The maintenance elevator was put down on the aircraft carrier, and He Lan and Boss Ye boarded the ship. Gu Kun couldn't wait, jumped from the bow of the yacht, flew and grabbed the soft gangway that was put down, swayed with the wind and climbed dozens of meters high, and turned over on the deck.

"I kind of understand that he can win so many Olympic championships in swimming, he is a man who was born for the sea. Boss Ye looked up and sighed.

After boarding the ship, Gu Kun led the guests around and handed over the ship for the last time as the host. Finally, he walked into Cambridge with the guests, spread out a pile of handover documents in the captain's room, and both parties signed for them.

The inside of the bridge has not been renovated, and everything is still the same as when it was bought from Hekland. Because this is a driving control area, it is not open to tourists, and no one will question Gu Kun if he does not decorate.

Looking at the empty instrument shells in the control compartment of the bridge, the visitor was also quite emotional.

"The cooperation is pleasant, and after signing these, I also forget it. Let's have another drink and talk about some new collaborations. ”

Gu Kun opened a bottle of champagne and tasted it with the two distinguished guests. At the reception banquet just now, because there was a lot of seafood, in order to prevent gout, everyone didn't drink much. The champagne is low, so it doesn't matter.

"I knew you had a new trick. Alas, I really don't know if you are calculating Soros, or in the name of calculating Soros, you are calculating our partners and squeezing more oil and water out of us. He Lan couldn't help but complain.

Gu Kun was about to open his mouth to get down to business, when the internal phone in the captain's room suddenly rang.

Gu Kun originally wanted to hang up, but He Lan and Boss Ye were very open-minded and let Gu Kun take care of himself and deal with other things first.

In order to show that he did not avoid them, Gu Kun dealt with them generously.

He said a few words to the phone, and then Gao Jianxiong at the door sent in a satellite fax that he had just received.

"This matter let Tang Jia come forward to settle it, I don't know how to settle it. Gu Kun explained to Gao Jianxiong face to face.

"Understood. Gao Jianxiong nodded slightly and left neatly.

Only then did Gu Kun turn around and explain to the guest: "At the beginning of the month, my 'Nightingale' fished another valuable ancient shipwreck in Indonesian waters - definitely among the top three shipwrecks in Southeast Asia.

I asked an old Dutch friend to arrange a shipment for me, and all the stuff on it would add up to about $200 million – about the same price I would have paid for the Isakov to sell you. In this way, I can scrape together at least $500 million in cash this month to invest in Hong Kong, and I can increase leverage on this basis. ”

Strictly calculated, Gu Kundu has not made a lot of money from the fishing industry in the past two years. The main reason is that his business is getting bigger and bigger, even if the last few of the ancient shipwrecks he remembered in his previous life can be ranked among the top three in Southeast Asia and the top 20 in the world, and a single one can be worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars, but compared to his main business, it is already a bit insufficient.

The reason why he took advantage of the situation this time was completely a gesture, showing that he had gone all out to raise money. And because Gu Kun was too busy, he didn't follow up the whole process, but was responsible for finding the wreck at the beginning, and the follow-up operations were mainly handled by Du Guowei, and Gu Kun also gave the salvage personnel at least tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses each, and the captain was at least ten times more.

He Lan couldn't help but remind: "With all due respect, this money is only one or two percent of your principal increase at most, right? ”

Gu Kun smiled: "But these money topics are big and interesting, and it is easy to form urban legends in the mouths of small people, so that they can overestimate my financial strength." ”

He Lan: "That's true, it's undeniable. ”

Gu Kun: "Moreover, it was inconvenient for me to do this kind of thing in previous years, and I won't hide it from you, don't think that I am lucky and can always catch a precious shipwreck, which is as easy as eating and drinking." Actually, I've been discovering it for years, at least for a year or two. All of this is the information I collected when I was exploring the topography and hydrology of the seabed around Southeast Asia.

The reason why I didn't dare to fish before was because this matter was too sensitive and would infringe on the legitimate interests of Indonesians. However, now that it is the time of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, I am taking advantage of the Indonesians for the common interests of the Southeast Asians, and they will protest verbally......"

Gu Kun asked Tang Jia to take care of it in private, and things would settle down.

Of course, Gu Kun will never leave evidence, nor will he instruct Tang Jia to take any specific measures. He didn't know it at all, and even if Oceania used the "Anti-Overseas FB Law" in the future, it wouldn't be able to catch him at all.

Everyone can testify that Gu Kun just asked Tang Jia to calm the other party's anger and put this protest to rest. As for how to settle it, Gu Kun didn't give any technical details.

He Lan: "You really don't hide any dirty business from us, okay, I made a note of it, this field, if there is a possibility of cooperation in the future, it will also find you." Let's talk about today's business first, what new deal would you like to talk to us about?

I can't guess what other cooperation could skyrocket your cash flow by the end of June. Even if you don't pursue a real skyrocket, it doesn't seem realistic to just take a false shot to 'increase the confidence of leek retail investors'. ”

Gu Kun didn't hide it from the other party, of course, it was to pave the way for follow-up cooperation, because the things that followed would be a little unbelievable.

He cleared his throat and had a showdown with He Lan: "You should have heard that when the financial crisis first came last year, I took advantage of the change of the local currency of Lanfang from ringgit to renminbi to do a wave of hedging, and also improved the national security welfare.

It was at that time that the royal family, in order to raise money from me, sold me a large number of land ownership of the outlying islands on the east coast of Lanfang, and a considerable part of the territorial sea and the development rights of the exclusive economic zone.

This time, I want to give you a credit, please help me to contact the center, and invite the people of CNOOC to Lanfang as guests. Let's talk about the exploration of seabed resources and mineral deposits on the east coast of Lanfang. ”

He Lan was slightly surprised: "Do you think Lanfang has an oil field?! That's a big deal, no joke!"

Gu Kun hurriedly made a gesture of false pressing, signaling the other party to be calm and calm: "Don't worry, don't you understand this? Actually, it doesn't matter if there is oil or not, when I bought those lands, I didn't expect anything."

This time, I obviously wanted to create a bit of news smoke bombs to exaggerate our financial strength in order to confront Soros. Even if there is no oil, I hope that the engineers and speakers of CNOOC can help me to panic, first fabricate a little fake news, and temporarily say that there is oil-

Isn't this damaging to any goodwill? It's normal for seabed exploration to look away. Aren't Venezuelans and Bahrainis often doing this kind of dirty thing, and every time they brag about it, they can temporarily benefit their country in attracting international investment or whatever, and spend their national credit. The international community is used to this. ”
