Chapter 726: What I Want Is the Best
"Take care of it, we will come back soon, I'm not here for pleasure, it's purely for others to see, it seems that I don't pay attention to the business dynamics in the United States, and if something happens to Apple, it will be Zhang Zhongmou's disadvantage." ”
One day in the middle of March, in Greenwich's mansion manor, Gu Biao and Xiao Sui comforted Xiao Sui at the spiritual level, and then said goodbye.
He's going on his honeymoon with Mina in France.
But the reason he has made it clear to Xiao Sui is that it is not entirely for fun, but also for the sake of big things.
"I understand, you won't be in a bad mood, you have fun, and you can fool outsiders if you deceive yourself. Xiao Sui responded very calmly.
These days, Xiao Sui and Mina already have a general understanding of Gu Ao's layout and ideas.
Gu Biao wants to deal with Apple, but he has to create all the evidence to make the public feel that there is no such thing, even if Apple is cut off at that time or there are other troubles such as being robbed of the opportunity or creative crash, it will also be classified as Zhang Zhongmou's lack of ability, which is a technical accident.
And after all, Xiao Sui only came to the position when he followed Gu Biao's acting, and everyone has a psychological hint of self-identification. That is, what tricks you use to get the benefit, you will consistently feel that this method is the right one.
In the future, if others use this method, even if your interests are damaged, you will subconsciously feel that this is a thief.
Otherwise, it will involve confusion and double standards of values, and people with better character will not be able to stand it on their own conscience. [Unless there is a better excuse and hint to let him support "these two times are not the same thing, so I support the first one to deny the latter is not a double standard"]
Gu Biao's friends, especially female friends, are very sure of one thing, that is, at least in terms of character, there is not a single double-standard dog.
Maybe they have their own values, but they must all be consistent values, and they won't casually abandon the light and turn to the dark when they get to what position and which three views are beneficial to her.
After dinner early that day, at about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Biao took Mina, as well as one or two female secretaries and assistants, from the tarmac in his own garden, boarded the Airbus EC series helicopter, flew to Long Island Airport 40 kilometers away, boarded his own A320 private plane, and prepared to fly to France to start the belated honeymoon trip.
Because I didn't bring Xiao Sui this time, I don't need to think about physical problems, and the empty small airport is convenient, and you can rent a runway anytime and anywhere.
If you insist on taking the JFk airport like last time, if you want not to disturb the people, you have to wait for the midnight departure time, which is very unpleasant, which is very unpleasant, for the transatlantic route, which is only a short four or five time zones, it is very uneconomical.
Moreover, JFk Airport is so busy that it is generally impossible to rent long-term parking spaces. Gu Biao's private jet is usually parked and eaten in ashes, so he chose to rent a hangar berth at Long Island Airport for a long time.
The life of rich people is also very troublesome, think about it, ordinary people have a car and get a parking space is very unhappy, let alone an airplane.
Helicopters can also be parked in the villa tarmac, fixed-wing aircraft you can't park where you don't have a runway, you can only rent a hangar next to the public airport.
……
Eight hours later, the A320 landed at Nice Airport in France, and Gu Biao and his entourage did not notify any partners, so no one picked up the plane quietly.
Gu Biao's private jet has a large master bedroom, which is very comfortable, and it is made against Air Force One, as long as it does not encounter very strong air currents, it is quiet and stable, and it does not feel like it is in the sky at all. Mixed in the fairy gate to raise spirit beasts
So when I got on the plane, I went straight to sleep, and I woke up eight hours and was full of energy.
The flight time plus the time difference of five or six hours, when I landed, it was about six or seven o'clock in the morning, which happened to be the point of getting up for breakfast, which was very comfortable, and it felt like I had just gone to bed a few hours earlier the day before, and basically did not have to pour.
"On a day like March, it's better to feel the Mediterranean sun and Provence. The territory of Connecticut, which is a northern Yankee, is still too cold and boring. ”
After eating cream crepes and strawberry pies, drinking a cup of hot chocolate marshmallows, and basking in the morning sun under a parasol at a one-Michelin-starred restaurant in Nice for breakfast, Mina couldn't help but sigh.
In the little half month I lived in Connecticut, outdoor activities were too boring, and I could only nest every day.
"Then you can stay by yourself for a while, but I must go back to the United States for a while in early May, and I can't be without Suiko when she is born. Gu Biao reminded with a smile.
He knew that of course, the word "Beiyan" in his wife's words did not mean to discriminate against northerners, and she herself was a northerner. Rather, it's a special application of her English comprehension, similar to the "Yankee-Yankee" term for New England turtles.
This is just because her three views follow Gu Biao, and she takes Gu Biao's likes and dislikes as likes and dislikes.
There's nothing wrong with thinking that California's Silicon Valley heroes are all good guys, and that New England's Yankees and Judas financial dogs are bad guys.
Twenty years later, with the subprime mortgage crisis or something, the thinking and outlook of the American people will also change in this way, and they will become more and more hostile to the financial industry. Gu Biao just shaped such three views in advance, which is the psychological inertia of later generations.
Mina just said casually, and when she heard Gu Biao take it seriously, of course she immediately said: "You still need to remind me!" I will definitely go back on time, after all, it is actually my child. We're just here for our honeymoon, so how can we stay on it. ”
After breakfast, the original Airbus EC series helicopter was originally planned to be arranged to transport the couple to Monaco, but Gu Biao asked Robin Southwell to buy 5 of them.
There is one left in Qiantang and one in Xiangjiang.
There are also two in the United States, one on the East Coast in Greenwich, Connecticut, which can occasionally sit on the DC or Virginia, and one on the West Coast, which can be used when living in Beverly Hills in Hollywood, Los Angeles, or when staying in Silicon Valley in the Bay Area, and returning to Seattle to be the owner. Because the east and west coasts of the United States are 4,000 kilometers, and Gu Biao has no interest in settling down in the vast and impoverished area in the middle, it is better to buy one more plane to avoid trouble.
In the end, there is also one left here in Europe, which is usually placed in Monaco, and can be used when you come to France to play.
Anyway, the price of the base bare machine is more than 6 million francs, counting all the customized interiors, it will last less than 10 million, equivalent to 20 million yuan, and five will be 100 million yuan. For Gu Biao, it can be regarded as change.
He even bought the A320, these small helicopters, a dozen of them are equivalent to the price of an A320.
However, since it is out for a honeymoon, how can everything be done according to the plan, it will be too boring, and you must have to play as you want on the fly.
From late autumn to early spring, Mina has not been able to soak in the sea water for half a year to sunbathe, and she is naturally a little moved to see the Mediterranean style.
Gu Biao saw it in his eyes and proposed: "Then don't let the helicopter pick it up, let's take a yacht to Monte Carlo." ”
Wealthy tyrants: Li Shao, come and chase
Mina was a little embarrassed, and said wisely: "Then let's rent a fun, you already have two yachts in the United States, and Xiangjiang also has it, and you don't come here often." Besides, you still have the Princess Caroline, too much is wasted, and it won't be used if it's piled up. ”
Although the Princess Caroline is commercial, Gu Biao is the boss, as long as he says a word, it is not to vacate the best facilities, so there is really no need for him to get another yacht in France.
However, he didn't want to rent a public one, so after thinking about it, he changed his words: "Then let's get a sailboat to play, I haven't played it, the sea conditions here are good, just right." ”
His yachts in Connecticut and Seattle are motor-powered fast boats, where the sea conditions are bad, the wind and waves are high, and the sailboats are not good to perform. In this bathtub in the Mediterranean, there are no requirements for seaworthiness, and it is not bad to get a sailboat to play with new ideas.
Hearing Gu Biao say this, Mina didn't refuse. The couple made an appointment on the phone immediately, and then went directly to the local yacht store to pick up the goods.
In the yacht business all over the world, there are very few people who directly do all the fine equipment and wait for the guests to mention, or rent it.
The main thing is that the owners who buy luxury yachts are more picky, and they like to customize the whole moth. Once the pre-decoration is too luxurious, the guests don't like it, and the goods are in the hands for a long time, and the financial pressure is also great.
But in Nice, it's the only one in the world that opens up to what you want.
Because it is only a dozen kilometers away from Monaco, which is a tax haven for the wealthy in Europe and the United States. Monaco is too small to have so much land to open a yacht shop, so the yacht business there is cheaper than in Nice. There are too many rich people, resulting in all kinds of pre-fine decoration of the side door can be sold, and the turnover is very fast.
When Gu Biao arrived at the yacht shop, the Frenchman recognized him: "Mr. Gu, it is our honor to serve you." If I let my peers know that the owners of the Princess Caroline have come to me to buy yachts, we will definitely become even more famous. I can give you the best discount......"
"Don't, who do you look down on, do you still need a discount to buy this kind of bargain?"
If he buys a big ship that is awesome Lux, it can cost tens of millions of dollars at every turn, and he can consider discounting it.
For a small hybrid sailboat of more than ten meters, a million-dollar level toy, if it is also discounted, it will not be ruined.
The boss of the French shipping company immediately realized his mistake and hurriedly apologized: "I lost my words, then I will pick the best one for you, how about this." ”
The other party also prepared a bunch of arguments and wanted to introduce them in detail, but Gu Biao just glanced at it, and then asked Mina: "Do you look like this, do you like it?" Pick the most pleasing one, don't look at anything else." ”
Mina's face was as shy as at the beginning of the year: "Then the one on the right, I like that shape, it looks very slim." ”
Mina has her eye on a slender boat, but with stabilizing fins similar to a trimaran on both sides, it looks very stable, and the turning radius is certainly acceptable. On the smooth sea, you will definitely be able to paddle a trail like a girl's dance.
"That's it. ”
"This is not the most luxurious thing we have here, so as long as it is 20 million francs, it won't insult you, right?" The French boss was educated by Gu Biao just now, and he was a little afraid that Gu Biao would be unhappy because he bought a bargain, so he reminded him.
"Vulgar!" Gu Biao felt that the other party was impatient to educate him, "I just said not to discount goods, I didn't say that I want to buy the most expensive ones, I only want my wife to like the most, and what she likes is good goods." ”
To his extent, he uses the best, and it has nothing to do with money or brand.
