Chapter 191: Continue Your Performance
Saturday, 24 June 2000.
Hong kong.
Ding Sanshi, who was forced to be cornered by the continued low stock price, could only choose to personally bring a group of subordinates to Xiangjiang Bai Wharf.
Among the people he brought with him were a few abandoned children that he thought he could sacrifice at any time.
If necessary, when the time comes, push the responsibility for offending Gu Kun at the beginning to the person in charge of the Rhythm Dog Shock Department under his subordinates, and then give in to Gu Kun and strive to settle the matter.
The flight landed at the Xiangjiang International Airport, which had just been put into use for more than a year, and Ding Sanshi and his entourage immediately rushed to the Victoria Bay Seaside Club, which was still the Xiangjiang Yacht Club half a year ago but has now become Gu Kun's personal palace, according to the address notified by Ma Feng before.
Gu Kun just asked Ding Sanshi to go there to see him.
Along the way, Ding Sanshi looked at the seascape outside the window in a confused and distracted mood.
The new airport is located on a remote island west of the city of Xiangjiang, so the car back to the city is originally driven all the way to the sea-crossing bridge and the coastal road.
The bridge does not connect to Hong Kong Island, but to Kowloon, and then turns south along the Nam Wan Tunnel to Hong Kong Island.
The scenery along the way is of course extremely beautiful and prosperous, when the car came up from the Westport Kowloon Tunnel and turned into Connaught Road on the south shore of Victoria Bay, it was clear that there were still two or three kilometers away from the final destination, but Dante Sanshi was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.
"Damn, what's that? what a luxury cruise ship...... Oh no, it's a yacht, right?"
Ding Sanshi wiped his eyes and confirmed.
He is also very broad, and the difference between a commercially operated cruise ship and a wealthy man's private yacht is still clear.
The private yacht of the rich, no matter how big it is, the superstructure is relatively elegant, and it will not be deliberately top-heavy in pursuit of a better landscape area-
The reason is also easy to figure out, for the super-rich, the whole ship is his, and if you want to see the best sea view, there is no need to make a lot of viewing points with duplicate functions, but you should let all parts of the whole ship be decorated with functional features.
Only the kind of commercial cruise ships that need to be stacked with sea-view houses will crowd the side of the ship very tightly.
And the boat in front of me is just too big to be like a private yacht, but the shape and design is an absolute private yacht.
"It's like a trimaran, it's so big. Just looking at the design of the middle part, it looks a bit like the yachts of Paul Allen and Larry Ellison. ”
Ding Sanshi touched his chin and groaned inwardly.
The first thing that came to his mind was the co-founder of Microsoft and the boss of Oracle. After all, these two people are often watched and talked about by people in the IT circle as "models of showing off their wealth". The most familiar playboy flaunting maniacs in the IT industry are these two goods.
As for Abramovich or some royal tycoons of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, although they also play the same yacht as the aforementioned brothers, but the size is slightly scaled, but those big oil dog IT elites disdain to mention and pay attention to.
There is no doubt that what Ding Sanshi saw was the world's No. 1 luxury yacht that Gu Kun had just "mentioned".
The hull of more than 200 meters, with the simple streamline and even a slight stealth arc of the hull curve, gives people a visual shock that is simply incomparable. (Although it's not actually invisible, it's just that the curve is made so cool and technological, like a science fiction movie)
"What is the origin of this boat, is it Gu Kun's?" Ding Sanshi couldn't help but ask the rental car driver he hired.
Of course, it is impossible to bring a driver and a car by yourself when you come on a flight with your subordinates, so you can make an appointment at the airport in advance with the people of the luxury car rental company that you hire.
The driver is a native of Xiangjiang, and he has always served the rich, and when he listened to Ding Sanshi's question, he also showed off with honor:
"I don't know, right? That place turned out to be Boss Li's 'Xiangjiang Yacht Club', which was just changed hands to Boss Gu at the beginning of the year. Without saying a word, Boss Gu demolished all the original berths of the small yacht and built a large one, otherwise how could such a luxurious boat be parked? This ship is only thirty or forty meters wide.
It was a trimaran, it was already wide, and it was fast to drive, but it was also difficult to turn. When I arrived at the port the day before yesterday, it was almost not wide enough for Victoria Bay, but the rich people spent money to buy the right of way during the port period, and they chartered other boats in the bay for two hours, just to make it turn around. ”
People who have been to Xiangjiang have been until Victoria Bay is actually not too wide. The narrowest places, such as the Central-Causeway Bay belt to Tsim Sha Tsui on the opposite shore, are less than a kilometre wide.
And if a trimaran is 200 meters long, and the turning radius of one kilometer is estimated to be a bit overhanging, it has to be the same as Maybach and Rolls-Royce's six-meter-long car subject two reversing into storage.
"In order to bring the boat in, it was also spent on sealing Victoria Bay for two hours...... It's so arrogant. The price of Paul Allen's boat is worth the money raised by the IPO of ten Huang Yi companies, and I don't know how much this boat is worth. ”
Ding Sanshi shook his head and doubted his life.
People buy a toy is equivalent to you listed ten or twenty companies, but people are still eyeing you to be heavy short, I knew that the Internet winter would come so quickly, people would be so ruthless and fall into the well across the circle, what do you do to offend people.
......
Even though the roads in Xiangjiang are generally congested, the 3-kilometer drive is still very fast.
Ding Sanshi took a few henchmen and stood in front of Gu Kun's private yacht club, which used to be the "Xiangjiang Yacht Club", but now the old signboard has been demolished, and the new signboard is even disdainful of hanging.
"Sir, this is private land - just start with the green space outside, please don't enter it casually. ”
Ding Sanshi had just probed his brain for two seconds before he was dissuaded by a white, well-dressed bodyguard.
The white man looked at least 1.9 meters tall, and his eyebrows and facial features did not look like an Anglo-Saxon, but looked like the dolphin-sounded tenor Vitas of later generations, and at first glance he was a Lucia.
Obviously, Gu Kun is very good at taking advantage of the fact that he is looking for Lucians, who are cheap and not easy to be bought by Oceania and Brittany, as his bodyguards, and in the past two years, he has asked Blackwater Security Company to recruit many such unemployed personnel in Hekland.
The real henchmen, of course, still have to use the Chinese. These white Lucians stood guard, completely for outsiders to see. posing, it seems that in Gu Kun's place, the white people all work for the yellow race. Therefore, when choosing people, you should also choose to be handsome.
As for the real combat effectiveness, it is completely unimportant, and you can't expect Maozi's bodyguards to have any combat effectiveness, they are just a guard of honor.
Ding Sanshi didn't know the truth, so he could only say politely: "I was invited by Mr. Gu." ”
As he spoke, he handed over the business card.
Under normal circumstances, the boss of a listed company whose name is worth hundreds of millions of dollars would not be so low-voiced, but now it is a special case, who makes the situation stronger than others. (At its peak, he was worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but under the natural collapse of the stock price and Gu Kun's shorting, the remaining nominal value has fallen below $100 million)
Lucia's bodyguard glanced at it, went in to report, and only let Ding Sanshi in after a while.
There were also people with loaded guns on both sides, and it didn't feel like meeting the richest man in Southeast Asia, but like going to meet the warlord president of an African country.
Gu Kun didn't wait for him in the club at all, after Ding Sanshi entered the clubhouse, he just entered the front door and went out at the back door, and was directly led to the dock trestle, and then boarded the yacht through the gangway.
All the henchmen around Ding Sanshi were temporarily stopped and were not qualified to board the yacht. Ding Sanshi really wanted to bring a pot dumping container on the boat, but he was temporarily prevented from doing so, so he could only admit his mistake in person first.
When he got on deck, he saw the hatch of a hollow-shaped recessed compartment on the aft deck open, revealing eight anti-aircraft missiles of vertically launched units.
That model is actually a French aster, but Ding Sanshi definitely doesn't know it.
Ding Sanshi passed to the superstructure from the port side, and then saw a Dutch goalkeeper close defense system that was about to be dismantled on the second floor of the port side, which is said to be ready to be replaced by a domestically produced 730, which is convenient for logistics and supply, so as not to be stuck in the foreign trade supply channels of ammunition in the future.
On the aft deck, there is also a huge helipad, the kind where all three hulls of the trimaran are horizontally combined with an all-through deck, and a Mi-26 modified helicopter is actually parked on it.
The Mi-26 is a high-end cargo that cost $80 million a piece in its heyday, the largest guy in a helicopter, and the cabin can carry a 20-ton armored personnel carrier infantry fighting vehicle. Even if it was through the unconventional channels of Lucia's decline, considering that the helicopter was so new, it would not be less than fifty or sixty million dollars.
The key is that the plane has also been additionally decorated, and the paint painted on the outside looks very high-end and elegant, which is a matte blue-gray, blending with the sky, looking very hidden, and the details are extremely luxurious.
At first glance, the rear compartment of the helicopter still retains the structure of the armored vehicle being able to drive up and down directly, and outsiders can't guess at first glance: Could it be that Gu Kun has some large-tonnage luxury car to transport? Otherwise, why use such a clumsy large helicopter that can transport armored vehicles?
The rotor diameter of this helicopter is 30 meters long! The length of Gu Kun's yacht is only more than 210 meters, and the maximum width is 36 meters, if it is not such a large yacht, such a helicopter cannot be stopped.
Bring in Paul Allen's or Abramovich's yacht and put it on the helicopter, with the rotors at least five meters above the width of the ship's side on the left and right sides.
Ding Sanshi was highly suspicious that Gu Kun had to sail to the mainland after receiving the ship from the Lan side this time, and he didn't know if he would come to change his equipment.
It seems that the high-level people are very supportive of this old friend of the Chinese people.
Finally climbed to the yacht owner's living room on the upper floor, Ding Sanshi hurriedly subconsciously covered his eyes, because the decoration in the house was really ...... The rough tyrant, the thin platinum wraps the polished surface, which is easy to shake people's eyes.
After getting used to it, Ding Sanshi apologized with a smile: "Mr. Gu, everyone is Chinese, and Chinese don't fight Chinese." ”
Gu Kun smiled coldly, and flicked a cigar butt that happened to be about the same as smoking in front of Ding Sanshi: "You also know that you are Chinese? So I want to 'interpret the economic and business logic of showing off wealth and reveal the secret', and continue. ”
