Chapter 783: Shocked to the ground
"Dieter, is that Rausala Island in your hand still for sale? If you want to make a move, I'm ready to do the next. How much is it, you just ask. Tang Feng took a sip of coffee, and said very seriously after gently putting down the cup.
Mateschitz was stunned for a moment, it seemed that he didn't expect Tang Feng to bring up this matter, some time ago in Austria, although Tang Feng showed interest in the island, but at that time he didn't agree to it, now it's good, go to the moon once, and buy that island when he comes back, which is really a good thing for Mateschitz.
After all, that island is now similar to Mateschitz's ribs, and he doesn't have the energy to fly halfway around the world to Fiji every year, and now the Red Bull Racing business alone involves most of his energy. Now Mateschitz is also an old man over seventy years old, not to accept the old can't do it, whether it is energy or physical strength, he is far inferior to before, and even last year because of the F1 engine matter, Mateschitz once germinated the idea of selling all the two Red Bull teams in his hands, it can be seen that his energy is indeed not as good as before.
So, when he heard that Tang Feng was going to buy Rausara Island, Mateschitz was very happy. It's not that Mateschitz lacks tens of millions of dollars to sell the island, but because he has invested so much affection in the island, and for him, Rausara Island is like his second home.
It is precisely because Mateschitz has invested too much affection on the island of Raushala that he does not want to casually hand over the island to outsiders, in Mateschitz's eyes, the new owner of the island must be approved by him, otherwise he would rather the island remain in his hands.
Over the years, there have been a lot of tycoons who have really wanted to buy the Rausara Island in Mateshitz's hands, after all, the conditions of that island are really fantastic. But Mateschitz didn't let up until he met Don.
During those few days in Austria, Tang Feng was particularly angry with Mateschitz in every aspect, and Tang Feng was not bad at all, so Mateschitz was ready to transfer Lausala Island to Tang Feng.
As for Sophia, who was sitting next to Tang Feng. After hearing Tang Feng's words, there was a smile on his face.
Sophia's mind is simple, it is a very wonderful thing to be able to own a "paradise island" in her own family.
Mateschitz smiled and said, "Okay, Don, after tomorrow's race, I'll go to Lausara Island with you for a lap, so that you can see for yourself what Paradise Island is like, and I guarantee that you are satisfied." β
Tang Feng nodded with a smile and said, "Dieter." In addition to buying that island, I would like to ask you one more thing, what is your relationship with the Fijian authorities? β
Mateschitz was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Tang Feng meaningfully, and said: "As the owner of Fiji's most valuable private island, I have maintained a good relationship with the Fijian executives, if you need anything, I can introduce you to some people." Don though. I would advise you that the political situation in Fiji is rather chaotic. There was a military coup d'Γ©tat in the early years, and although it is much more stable now, the internal undercurrent has never stopped, so I suggest that you keep a certain distance from those politicians and not start a fire. β
Tang Feng nodded and said, "Dieter, I understand what you said. But I have my own ideas, I need some high-level people in Fiji to do something for me, and for that I can pay the whole country of Fiji adequately. β
Tang Feng's words made Mateschitz seem to think of something, and after pondering for a while, Mateschitz nodded and said, "Don." This request of yours is fine, I will introduce you to the big names of different political parties, and as for how you go about it, that's your business. β
Tang Feng smiled and expressed his gratitude.
That's right, Tang Feng found Mateschitz this time, obviously to buy Mateschitz's Lausala Island, but secretly, Tang Feng wanted to use this purchase to successfully break into the Fijian authorities, because Tang Feng felt that Fiji was a good place. Of course, this is good, which means that Fiji is more in line with the implementation of Tang's plan in all aspects.
However, Tang Feng himself also knows very well that although he is rich, it is also a bit dangerous to deal with a country, after all, the political situation in Fiji is not very stable, although the country is very small, and even Tang Feng can buy this country directly, but Tang Feng is not ready to do so.
Because in Tang Feng's plan, there needs to be a sovereign state to protect it. And this sovereign state does not need to be very strong, it is enough to have full sovereignty. Tang Feng wants the name of a sovereign state. Fiji, an island country in the southwest Pacific Ocean, is neither big nor small, just right, and its internal competition is relatively fierce, so it is easier to break into its interior and establish a good enough "special" relationship with some high-level people.
The most important thing is that Tang Feng believes that some of the plans he proposed, no matter which high-level Fiji executive, will never be able to refuse!
Poor countries also have the benefits of poor countries!
After agreeing on the itinerary with Mateschitz, Tang Feng said goodbye to Mateschitz and promised him that he would be there tomorrow to watch the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix.
After all, this time in the United States Grand Prix, Mateschitz is ambitious to compete for the championship of the race, and now the leading driver of the Red Bull Racing team, Recardo, has taken the lead in the just-concluded qualifying race and won pole position, as long as the young lad can play his level normally tomorrow, it is estimated that the championship of a race will not be able to run.
But the second day's race made countless people lose their glasses, and the game was really full of twists and turns.
Just two laps into the race the next day, it rained so hard that the teams had to immediately change their pit strategy and switch from dry to wet tyres, and then more than 20 drivers were back in the rain.
The sudden heavy rain also wiped out Ricciardo's pole position advantage, and after changing the tyres and leaving the pit stop, Ricciardo was only in fourth place.
But something even more surprising happened in the next game. Veteran Hamilton came out in first place after changing his tyres from the pit pit, and he was very experienced in the rain, riding in the rain and finishing as many as 15 seconds ahead of second-placed Scuderia Ferrari's Raikkonen after more than a dozen laps.
Just when everyone thought that the United States Grand Prix would be Hamilton's exhibition race again, Hamilton turned around Turn 12 and braked at the wrong time, causing the car to slide off the track and hit the tire rail.
Hamilton withdraws!
The second-ranked veteran Raikkonen instantly ranked first, but he didn't stay first for long, because he was very close to the third-ranked Massa, Schumacher's young partner Massa has now grown into a veteran, although he no longer plays for Ferrari, but his skills have never been lost.
The stalemate between two people is the stalemate on this rainy day, and the final result is a lose-lose situation.
When Massa tried to overtake Raikkonen in a corner, Raikkonen stuck to the cornering angle, but Massa was too fast to brake, and the front nose fin hit the back of Raikkonen's car, and the end result was that both cars could not drive normally and had to withdraw from the race at the same time.
At this moment, the young Ricardo, who was originally in pole position, regained the first position, but unfortunately, this guy's luck today is really bad, and when he made a pit stop, because of the negligence of the staff, the right front tire of his car flew out for no reason when he ran two laps after leaving the pit, resulting in an extremely tragic tumbling of the car. Fortunately, at this time, Ricardo was passing an acute angle with a huge angle, and the speed was not fast, otherwise the car would have been wrecked.
But even then, Ricardo suffered a minor injury and was carried off the track.
Of the 56 laps of the race, less than 20 laps were underway, and the top four all retired!
But that's not all, the next game is full of accidents. Austin itself was a 20-corner, extremely difficult race, and heavy rain, so in the end, only six of the 22 racers finished the race, and the first place was the unknown Red Bull Racing's No. 2 driver, 23-year-old Russian teenager Kvyat (to be continued). )
