Chapter 785: It's like being in heaven
Hop on a battery car and enjoy the picturesque Lausara Island and enjoy the tropical island scenery up close, and the senses are truly incomparable.
Now Rausala Island is the best time of the year, because it is located in the southern hemisphere, Rausala Island is in winter at this time, and the wind and waves at sea are very small, and the temperature is not as hot as in December and January, so this time is the hot season for Rausala Island.
Ever since Mateschitz handed over the management of Lausara Island to Ubong and Camilla, he has rarely cared about the situation here. And Upong and Camilla are also worthy of being favored by Mateschitz, the two are very talented in management, and they cooperate very well with each other, so, under the management of the two of them, Lausala Island has been self-sufficient in recent years, and there is no need for Mateschitz to throw a lot of money at this island every year.
You know, the island is now home to more than 350 locals, all of whom are service staff and staff on the island. The salaries and daily consumption of these more than 350 locals alone are not a small amount in a year.
"Mr. Tang, Ms. Sophia, this is our unique 18-hole championship golf course on Lausara Island, and this course is the only championship golf course in the whole of Fiji, and the International High Federation has come here to inspect this course and want to make this course one of the sub-venues of the annual PGA Australia Tour, but Mr. Mateschitz did not agree at that time." Driving the battery car, Upong pointed to the meadow that stretched far away from the mountain pass and the plain.
Tang Feng looked in the direction that Wu Peng was pointing, and sure enough, he found the field that he had seen on the plane just now that was suspected to be a golf course. At this distance, you can vaguely see tees, fairways, greens, deep grass and even some ponds, bunkers and other obstacles
Mateschitz said with a smile: "That's right, the organizers of the PGA Tour have been to this island and have also inspected this high course, and they are very satisfied with this high course. It's just that I don't want to take out the golf course for entertaining friends for public use. That's why I didn't say yes. ”
As the most famous golf tournament in the world, the PGA Tour can choose this golf course on Lausara Island as the venue for the sub-tournament, which is enough to prove the excellence of this golf course. And Mateschitz didn't even hesitate and refused directly, this old man really has a personality.
A golf court was expensive to build. The most important thing is that the annual maintenance cost is higher, especially since the golf course is located on a small island that is often hit by hurricanes, and the annual maintenance cost is a significant amount. But the old man Mateschitz would rather spend a lot of money every year on maintenance than keep this golf course private. The density shows Mateshitz's love for this small island back then.
Located in the northeastern part of Lausara Island, this golf course occupies almost a fifth of the island's area, and the golf course is not located in the plains, but on the plains and hills and the coast, as if in this position. In front of it is a hill more than 100 meters above sea level, and the narrow golf course is located at the mountain pass between the two hills, and from here to the east, more than 200 meters away is the blue sea, the sound of the waves can be heard clearly here, and it is a good place to be close to the mountain and the sea.
The battery car continued to drive forward, just now in the sky, because of the obscuration of the trees. I can't see the forest road at all, and now after getting on the battery car. Tang Feng found that this island is not only beautiful, but also extremely developed, like this three or four meters wide asphalt road in the forest, like a spider web, densely covering the entire island.
The topography of Rausara Island is high in the north-central part and flat at the north and south ends. In the north-central part of the island, the island is divided in two by several connected hills, which Mateschitz named Forbes Mountains in honor of the island's first owner, Mr. Forbes. In the northern side of the mountain by the sea area. It is the famous resort area, where the most popular villas are mid-level villas and ocean villas. On the south side of the mountain, there are only four raised hills, which are not connected to each other, and the rest of the place is flat.
The battery car follows the forest road from the Forbes mountain pass over this small mountain range to the plains in the south
"Mr. Don, Ms. Sophia, this is our own farm on Lausara Island, this farm is 240 acres in size, and it is stocked with cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, and quails, and the output of this farm alone is enough to feed everyone on the island." Upong said as he drove the battery car and pointed to an extremely wide flat area next to the forest path.
The open flat land was apparently artificially carved out, for in this farm, which was about a square kilometre in size, was full of lawns and small shrubs, except for a few large trees, herds of cattle and sheep fed happily on the grass, and in the distance there was a low building that looked like a pigsty.
Tang Feng nodded and smiled: "Dieter, it's good here, self-sufficient, very natural lifestyle, I like it." ”
Mateschitz laughed and said, "Don, it's not just you who have this feeling, as long as a guest comes to the island in the past, as long as you see this pasture, you will have this feeling. Well, come to think of it, about ten years ago, Michael. Schumacher came here and said something like you, and then another Michael, oh, the one who claims to be able to fly in the sky. When Jordan came here, he also said that he wanted to live here permanently. By the way, Arnold, the toughest guy on the screen that year and later became the governor of California, also said something like this when he saw this farm"
Sophia on the side was a little dumbfounded, she really didn't expect that there were so many celebrities on this island.
Tang Feng nodded with a smile and did not speak. The island is so famous, coupled with Mateschitz's net worth and influence, even if you look at the whole world, it can be ranked first, so this island attracts many celebrities to come on vacation.
Not to mention anything else, just the golf course and this farm just now are enough to make people linger, anyway, after seeing these two places, Tang Feng has already decided in his heart to buy this island.
The battery car continues to walk along the forest road, at this time the forest road is only more than ten meters away from the coastline, one side is the white beach, the other side is a flat farm, the top is the lush canopy, feel the sea breeze blowing from the sea, the nose is filled with a faint smell of the sea and the fragrance of trees and flowers, the ears are echoing the continuous sound of the waves and the chirping of unknown seabirds, it is really like being in paradise (to be continued). )
