【Chapter 873】 Hot News (Ask for Subscription!)

In the midst of the media storm, many media sent requests for interviews with Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, but they did not accept any of the media's requests. Of course, this is also because the weight of these media is not enough, if it is replaced by "Time", maybe Xiao Feng will agree.

There are also many media reporters who ran to the palm town to wait for the rabbit, hoping to photograph Xiao Feng and the members of the Xiao family, after all, news about them always has some value.

However, Xiao Feng's family lives in the 'Dream Ranch' most of the time, and there are not many opportunities to show up, and Nini is still an underage child, so too much exposure may attract the attention of CPS.

Therefore, the media reporters turn a blind eye to Nini's daily commute to work on the school bus, and in this regard, European and American reporters are far more professional than Asian paparazzi.

did not interview the members of the Xiao family, and the reporters also found another way and began to report around the 'Dream Ranch' and 'Dream Scenic Area'.

In fact, since the 'Mirror Lake Group' started investing in Montana, it has also been reported by a few local media outlets, and the two super projects, which are expected to invest more than $5 billion, are not well known.

This time, the reporters who heard the news also took the initiative to help the promotion of the 'Dream Scenic Spot', and the residents of the town and tourists from China became the objects of reporters' questions. Even many reporters have spent a sum of money to enter the 'dream scenic spot' to experience the enjoyment of tourists, but they also have a better understanding of the situation of the scenic spot.

In the past few days, many media in the United States have carried out a series of reports on the 'Dream Scenic Spot' in the main pages and time slots, especially those Chinese tourists who have made a lot of money, which has attracted the attention of the American business community and even the government.

Since the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, the U.S. economy has been recovering from a five-year hiatus. The United States is eager to find new economic growth points to ease the pressure on the domestic economy.

The 'Dream Scenic Area' was born. Suddenly, the United States saw some hope, and in connection with the increasing expansion of Chinese tour groups and shopping groups in the past two years, everyone realized that there was a lot to be done in developing the Chinese tourism market.

Taking the 'Dream Scenic Spot' as an example, the average tourist spends no less than US$10,000 on a week's trip, including air tickets, accommodation, shopping, and so on! Today, the 'Dream Scenic Spot' receives no less than 500 tourists every day. Even if they only spend half of that money on American soil, that's millions of dollars.

In a year's time, the 'Mirror Lake Scenic Area' will have the potential to drive more than $1 billion in consumption in the United States, directly create thousands of jobs, and drive the rise of the upstream and downstream industrial chains.

A small 'dream scenic spot' has such a huge role, and in the face of China's growing overseas tourism market, American companies and governments will be incompetent if they do not say anything about it.

Therefore, in this short period of time, including California, Texas, New York and other regions with developed tourism industries, as well as the United States, aviation and tourism giants have held various meetings to discuss how to increase various measures to attract Chinese tourists.

Xiao Feng didn't know. The media hyped up the 'Dream Scenic Spot' with a large number of customers, which attracted the attention of American tourism giants and increased their efforts to develop the Chinese market.

In 2013, 1.8 million Chinese tourists visited the United States, spending more than $5,000 per capita, 20 percentage points higher than the average for tourists from other countries.

According to estimates by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the number of Chinese tourists to the United States will exceed the 4 million mark in 2018, surpassing that of East England and England. It is the third largest source of tourists after Mexico and Canada.

Every year, millions of Chinese tourists fly across the ocean to the United States, waving their RMB. It has become an important force in stimulating the economic recovery of the United States.

To cater to these Chinese tourists, many popular tourist attractions have translated maps and brochures into simplified Chinese characters, and some hotels offer Chinese breakfast such as porridge, steamed buns, soy milk, and in-room tea service for breakfast!

In a highly developed business society, all changes come from a strong economic dynamic!

…………

The hard work pays off, when the media reporters have almost given up. The ABC reporter who was guarding the hill in the distance and monitoring the 'Dream Airport' with binoculars suddenly discovered that Xiao Feng and his wife boarded the 'Nini' and left the 'Dream Ranch'!

It has to be said that ABC, one of the three major television stations in the United States, has very strong public relations skills, and they soon learned from the American Aviation Administration that the landing place of the "Nini" was New York's JFK International Airport.

Therefore. While Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao were still in the air, ABC staff were already ready in New York to seize the opportunity.

Before the arrival of the Nini, ABC reporters had already scouted the VIP lanes inside the airport, VIP pick-up locations, etc., through various means, and screened some unlikely pick-up teams.

According to what the media knows about Xiao Feng and his wife, they rarely leave the ranch unless they are on business!

In a country like the United States, where the media industry is highly developed, the power of the media is always pervasive, and soon the ABC reporter discovered a special person, that is, Xiao Feng's personal assistant Ma Xiaotian.

Ma Xiaotian himself didn't know that he had now become a well-known figure in the United States, and he had already been registered in the eyes of many media reporters and well-intentioned people. He swaggered up at the JFK airport and told reporters that he was welcoming Xiao Feng.

The person who picked up Ma Xiaotian was a middle-aged man with typical Germanic characteristics, at least more than 190cm tall, blonde hair and blue eyes, and a high nose bridge.

After the ABC reporter took a photo of the two people in the distance, he immediately sent it back to the rear, and asked the staff of the material library to analyze and identify it, hoping to confirm the identity of the middle-aged man.

For ABC, if they can get the identity of the pick-up person in front of their peers, the next report will naturally be that they have seized the opportunity.

Fortunately, this Germanic man has a rather special body type, and a reporter from ABC's financial line just happened to recognize his identity. PAUL MULLER, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF LURSSEN IN THE UNITED STATES!

Muller is a more common surname in Germany, of course, the Chinese people are most familiar with the former bomber Gerd Müller and the popular fried chicken Thomas Müller in football.

Leshun, this name may be too far away for ordinary people. But for the super-rich, it's a name that has to be remembered.

For more than 135 years, the Deutschlandburg-based company has been highly regarded by its customers for its continuous innovation, production of high-quality products, dedicated employees, discreet attitude and, above all, close interaction with its customers.

Like the three luxury cars in Germany, Lürssen Yacht also adheres to the fine tradition of German mechanical manufacturing. And it embodies a luxurious, unassuming personality.

The general manager of the North American division of Lürssen is also a high-ranking presence in the Lürssen system, after all, the United States is the world's largest luxury yacht market, and being able to take the helm of the North American division undoubtedly proves Muller's ability and strong connections.

Since Muller and Ma Xiaotian have appeared at the airport to greet Xiao Feng, it means that Lürssen may have occupied a favorable position among many competitors, so he has the opportunity to introduce products directly to Xiao Feng.

This news is undoubtedly extremely newsworthy for ABC reporters. All the on-site staff did not dare to relax, for fear of missing some wonderful pictures.

Soon. Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao came out of the passage, and after talking cordially with Ma Xiaotian, Muller and others, they boarded the Audi team that had been waiting for a long time and left.

That night, ABC news quickly broadcast the meeting between Xiao Feng and Mueller, and speculated that Xiao Feng chose Lürssen. It may be inseparable from the reason why he is the face of Audi cars.

I have to say that the analysis of the media and the ability to catch the wind and the shadow are indeed very powerful, and the reason why Lürssen can win among many competitors is that in addition to Lürssen's own strong strength, Audi's connection is also very important.

Audi CEO Schneider is the one who strongly advocates the signing of Xiao Feng as an ambassador for Audi. He was also a classmate of Müller at the University of Munich, and his connections played a huge role in the competition for orders from many yacht manufacturers.

Don't think that foreigners don't talk about human feelings, they are also familiar with this set.

Because of Schneider's central introduction, Lürssen's own products are also quite in line with Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao's appetite, which is why there is a scene of Mueller picking up the airport today.

…………

As soon as ABC's news came out, the entire American high society knew that Xiao Feng might have another big deal, after all, Leshun's ultra-luxury yacht has never been cheaper!

At this time, everyone is discussing, what kind of yacht will Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao choose from a series of products of Leshun?

From communication, design to final delivery, the shipowner usually needs to wait at least 4 to 5 years, and for the excellent work of Lürssen in Germany, it is even more difficult to wait patiently!

Xiao Feng is so full of the decision to buy Lürssen Yacht, will he redesign it or take over some projects from other owners?

According to the media, the construction of several luxury yachts in the dockyard in Lenzburg has begun to slow down due to financial pressures from the owners. Whether it's for the sake of serving our customers or to reduce our own losses, Lürssen has a great passion for the transfer of these projects.

Because of the experience of the 'Nini', the media's analysis unanimously believes that Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao will not continue to wait for several years, but will choose to take over halfway.

To this end, the media listed the projects that Xiao Feng and his wife are likely to choose, including the superyacht project that has been launched and is undergoing interior decoration. The yacht is unnamed, but with a staggering 180m in length, it is currently the largest private yacht in the world!

It is reported that this yacht is a partnership investment by several consortiums in the United States and Europe, and was originally intended to be used for commercial purposes in the Mediterranean Sea and the Caribbean, but due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and the European debt crisis, the superyacht costing more than 400 million US dollars has been seriously short of funds.

For this reason, these shipowners are very willing to sell, but no one has been willing to offer yet, after all, 400 million US dollars is a lot of money for the oil tycoons in the Middle East and the Russian oligarchs.

When Xiao Feng contacted the top management of Leshun, just thinking of this possibility had already made media reporters and the public feel very excited.

After all, it is also a memorable thing to witness an ultra-luxury yacht with a transaction value of more than $400 million become the private property of a wealthy Chinese billionaire.

…………

While the media was disturbing, Xiao Feng and Muller did not have much communication at the Hilton Hotel, after all, many materials have already explained the situation clearly. As for the relevant quotation and the final decoration style, including the way of trading, etc., it is not something that a figure of Muller's level can decide.

Paul Müller's task was to meet the Shaw Breeze in New York and accompany them on the Nini to Germany for final negotiations.

Xiao Feng does not have any financial pressure on the possibility of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on yachts again, and he also hopes to expand his influence and that of the 'Jinghu Group' in this way.

Now, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao are a little entangled, whether to buy the world's largest ultra-luxury yacht or choose a model of about 140 meters, and the price gap between the two is more than 100 million US dollars. At the same time, the different hulls require different crew members and maintenance pilots, and the cost of each trip to sea is also different, which will also be a large expense.

Overall, if you buy the largest yacht, you can't get it without $30 million a year in maintenance costs, which is also a problem that Xiao Feng needs to consider.

Of course, even for a 140-meter yacht, the total annual crew salary, fuel and other expenses will not be less than 20 million US dollars, so it seems that there is not much difference.

In the past, Xiao Feng rarely spent too much money, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as spending money like flowing water in the past two years.

However, sometimes when people reach a certain position, many things are already involuntarily!

At this time, Xiao Feng can understand Abu's mood very well, although the rise of the 'Mirror Lake Group' is clear, but if he can add an extra layer of insurance to himself, why not?

For Xiao Feng today, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem!

After struggling with his wife, Xiao Feng quickly fell asleep in the bright lights of Manhattan, anyway, everything waited until Germany, and he talked about it after seeing the scene.

Xiao Feng was able to sleep, but the people who were shocked by his continuous spending, they were speechless, they really couldn't understand the thoughts of these super-rich people!

The world of local tyrants, they don't understand! (To be continued......
