Hong Kong Island, Lantern State.

Lantern Prefecture, also known as Chili Island, is a small island in the inland sea of the Xiangjiang River, and there are no inhabitants on the island.

The island is connected to Koe Island, and you can drive a boat directly to the seawall on it, which makes it no longer technically an island.

The Hong Kong Island Yacht Club, the Hong Kong Island Chau Club and the entrance to the Harbour Tunnel are all built on this.

Early the next morning.

In the sea around Lantern State, the sea is sparkling.

When the sun shines on the sea, it is like throwing gold into the sea, which is extremely beautiful.

Across the narrow sea, you can see the soft sand on the beach on Hong Kong Island opposite.

Looking further into the distance, you can see both sides of Victoria Bay, the Central District of Hong Kong Island and the two sides of Yau Tsim Mong on the Kowloon Peninsula.

The two sides of the strait symbolize the prosperity of Hong Kong Island, from which more than 80% of the island's GDP is produced.

In the morning.

Chili Island Yacht Association, a long-term charter of Beneteau Yacht in France, on five yacht berths.

A Beneteau catamaran Lagoon custom sailboat swayed slightly with the amplitude of the sea fluctuations in the gentle waves of the morning.

"Ahh

"I'm going to die. Why are you like this, one night, I just woke up...... Ah......h

Luxurious, full of catamaran bedrooms.

The cries of French women, which were incommotable to ordinary Chinese, Americans, and British, were heard.

She speaks French in an authentic Gascon/Toulouse accent.

This French dialect is extremely popular in France.

Most French people feel that Toulouse is sexual. It's hopeless, and speaking with this accent is as good as singing, and it's even more reminiscent of French food and sunshine.

The people of Gascon/Toulouse feel that their accent is like a natural sound, as if it has the magic to bring people into the south of France, the city of roses where the sun never sets, the pink life of roses, more French than Paris.

The old Baijing people think that their words are authentic, and that is just their own opinion.

The French language of Gascon/Toulouse is felt by the vast majority of French people except themselves......

So it may be true to admit that this accent of French may be really good.

And since the woman speaks French, the Chinese who speak Chinese and the Americans who speak English can't understand it.

"Whew-"

With a pleasant, deep gasp, Abel walked away from Calla.

He didn't know that Calla's spoken French was the so-called most sexy Gascon/Toulouse dialect.

Or the all-French vote and is known as the most sexual. sense of the French.

Because he only spoke English and Chinese, he didn't learn any other languages.

But I couldn't tell what she was talking about when she was excited.

But only in terms of melody, tone.

Abel also felt that Carla had been made to speak her native language since last night.

When you call it something, it really feels like you're singing.

If you have to make a leaderboard.

Abel thinks that Calla, when she says what her native language is called.

I will definitely be able to choose the first place on the list of the best sounds among the women I have come into contact with.

Put a light towel over Calla, who was so tired that her eyes were closed, lying on Simmons and panting.

Abel put on boxers, turned and left the bedroom, passing by the luxurious living room on the yacht.

Then through a short flight of stairs, it appeared on the deck of the French Lagoon 77.

The Lagoon 77 is the proudest, the best and the most expensive catamaran of the Beneteau Group.

The price of this mass-produced standard boat type is almost tens of millions of dollars.

Some people may think that tens of millions of dollars is not expensive for a luxury yacht.

But the point is that it is only a small and medium-sized yacht of 77 feet, that is, less than 24 meters long.

Not the hundred-foot big guys, and not the super luxury cruise ships.

Such a small ship, dare to sell so expensive, and still sell very well.

This should also be regarded as a side, proving that Beneteau Lagoon's product is extremely strong, or in this field, it is so popular with the rich.

Compared to ordinary powerboats, the Lagoon 77 has "sailboat" in its name, and it naturally has sails.

The tall and slender mast, the retro-inspired sail lines, and the canvas that scales up when not in use at anchorage all tell the character of a sailboat.

Elegant detailing, meticulous construction and refined materials combine to create a comfortable and harmonious interior.

The optimized layout makes the interior look extremely spacious and bright, a real living area.

The saloon, with its large glazed windows, and the excellent height under the deck beams, guarantee an exceptional panoramic view.

Abel got off Calla's body and came out of the cabin.

He was lying on the outdoor deck chair on the aft deck of the Lagoon 77.

At this moment, at his feet, there is a cold, clean and clear water, and in the distance, he can overlook Yau Tsim Wang, one of the most prosperous areas on Hong Kong Island.

I have to say, after experiencing it overnight.

Abel thinks that Beneteau yachts can be described as excellent driving quality.

First of all, she has a beautiful boat shape, with a slender front and back, and the proportions are very perfect.

The overall color of the hull is white and flawless, and the paint water is not as rough as that of ordinary European and American yachts.

Then there's the quality of the ride, although she's still an ownerless, freshly built chick.

But how to put it, it may be because it is produced in France.

Once Abel is in control, even if she has never been to sea, she can adapt to adjust the driving mode of the boat shape when sailing on the sea and riding the wind and waves according to Abel's different driving needs.

It is also worth mentioning the power of the boat.

Although it is a sailing ship, it has never been to sea and has never experienced its owner.

But when she was driven by Abel, she was very powerful. The dual power system of sail + internal combustion engine gives Beneteau yacht super endurance.

What surprised Abel even more was that the Beneteau yacht was equipped with excellent Français tuning.

When he starts driving, whether it is the sail system or the engine noise, it is as good as singing......

The fly in the ointment may be because of the first time I went to sea and was driven for the first time.

When Abel put the key in and just stuffed it in.

Some oil came out of the oil port, and the color was very red......

All in all, Abel was very satisfied with the experience.

So last night after most of the night.

When he woke up in the morning, he couldn't help but drive again.

The boat was running until 10 a.m., which is just now, and then stopped to rest.

At this moment, he was blowing the cool morning breeze on the sea at the end of March on Hong Kong Island, after basking in the sun.

Abel on the recliner squinted slightly, raised his hands, and gently patted his palms.

"Smack-smack-"

The sound is crisp and not very far.

But more than ten seconds later, Allen and David, the two humming generals, emerged from the yacht boarding position.

"Morning ...... Oh, it's almost noon. Good morning, David and Alan. ”

Abel, who is very happy to drive a yacht, is in a very good mood.

He smiled and greeted his second general.

"Good morning, boss."

David and Allen, too, smiled and said hello to their boss.

After greeting, Able spoke first.

"Alan, tell me about the shareholding structure and approximate market value within the Beneteau Group. As far as I know, it's not on the market yet? ”

Alan nodded quietly.

I thought that last night, Miss Beneteau must have made the boss very satisfied.

"Beneteau Group, has developed extremely well since the 90s. Although it is not listed, it has issued shares three times, with a total share capital of about 135 million shares. ”

"Because it is not listed, it has not released its financial statements to the outside world. We can only estimate the value of its assets. ”

"Based on market capitalization estimates, Beneteau's market capitalization is around $5 billion to $5.2 billion. In terms of shareholding, Annie Beneteau Hus is currently the largest shareholder, holding 23.56% of the shares. Her husband, banker Louis Claude Huss, holds 10 percent. Miss Beneteau's father, Andel Beneteau, holds 8% of the shares. The remaining shares, which are extremely dispersed, are mainly held by French financial companies in the Paris La Défense business district. ”

Alan Baker was prepared.

He clearly stated the data of Beneteau Group, the current shareholding structure and market capitalization.

In other words, as the master and founder of the family, count Calla's father. The Beneteau family only controls about 40% of the shares of Beneteau Group? ”

Able snapped his fingers as he spoke.

Without him opening his mouth, David next to him smiled and handed the boss a pair of sunglasses.

It was close to noon, and the sun was getting closer and closer to the middle of the sky above Victoria Harbour, and the sun was a little dazzling.

Alan watched the boss put on sunglasses to block the light, and nodded slightly: "41.56% to be exact." ”

After putting on the sunglasses, Abel, whose eyes were much more comfortable, continued to speak:

"How much can we get by contacting the companies in the La Défense business district and buying shares from them?"

Alan opened his mouth and was about to speak.

But suddenly felt a darkness above the deck, and the three of them looked up at the same time, and saw Carla Beneteau wearing a sky blue one-piece swimsuit, covered with a large towel covering her arms, and the big moon retreated, standing there looking down.

"Hey-" Abel smiled brightly, "Calla, come down and soak up the sun." This can promote the absorption of calcium in our body, making our body healthier. ”

Carla smiled brightly, and on her face, which had not had time to put on makeup, there was a touch of blush that had not disappeared since last night, making her look even more youthful and lovely.

"Okay." Her trademark Gascon/Toulouse French disappeared to make it possible for the three Americans present to understand English.

Before Cala could come down from the upper deck, Able continued to Allen:

"Go to the bankers or the financiers. Tell them, I want Beneteau. Buy their shares. ”

Alan had wanted to say that Beneteau had a good track record, that the IPO prospects were very good, and that he was very popular in Paris.

If you want to buy shares that are not yet listed, you may need to pay a premium of more than 50% to get a large number of shares, which is somewhat uneconomical.

But in this situation, there is also the boss's tone of ambition.

Alan Baker withdrew his slightly dissuasive words, and just smiled and said:

"No problem, a week later. I guarantee you will become one of the largest shareholders of Beneteau Group. ”

"Smack-"

With another snap of his fingers, Abel smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Go for it now. ”

"Okay." Alan bent down slightly and nodded, turning to see Calla just walking down.

Smith, chief advisor, smiled and nodded to her in greeting.

Karla had actually heard the conversation between the two just now.

Karla's heart was full of joy at this moment, and she smiled back at Allen.

She knew that the middle-aged man in front of her, who was not good-looking, was called "Smith's financial minister" by many French financial media.

Alan was gone, and Karla walked over to Abel, and when she saw David, she nodded again.

If Allen, who just left, is called Smith's finance minister by the French media.

The David Jones in front of him is Smith's chief court minister.

Walking up to Abel, Karla opened her mouth, but before she could speak.

was gently pulled by Abel, and her whole body fell on him.

The two were crammed into a comfortable recliner.

Abel tore the large towel she had just draped and covered the two of them.

"David, contact the Beneteau Group."

Abel did not speak to Karla first, but to David:

"Tell them because of Carla's excellent sales skills. I decided to order six of these Lagoon 77s from the Beneteau Group, in a haute couture version. ”

When the time comes, Ikana will have one, Lev Zhen will have one, Charlize will have one, Paris will have one, and Kate and Nicole will have one.

The mothers of Smith's children always have to have some special treatment.

The reason why so many are sent out is because Abel, who experienced this luxury catamaran for the first time, felt that this kind of luxury sailing boat was too capable of carrying X, full of style, and the space of the catamaran was not inferior to that of a yacht.

In good sea conditions, good weather. If you are playing inshore, it is more comfortable than a normal motor yacht.

David nodded slightly, took out a notebook and pen from his pocket, and memorized them directly.

Is it that David has a bad memory, so he must remember this little thing, for fear of forgetting?

No, the more it shows the importance of the steward and the requirements of the master, the more it shows the obedience of the steward to the master.

"I also ordered two more special models over 100 feet. The requirements are higher, and the level is higher...... For specific requirements, ask Laura's opinion. ”

The six ships in front of them are all mothers of children.

The latter two are bigger and more demanding, one he plans to use for himself, and the other is good for the main palace.

David continued to nod his head.

"Finally, I wanted to have a special palace on the sea. It needs to encompass luxury, comfort, greatness, and most importantly, security. The ship...... Forget it, I don't know if Beneteau Group can do it. Let's make a list of records first, and then I will consider it after I have inspected Beneteau Group. ”

"That's all, let's do it right away."

David smiled and nodded away.

Wait until the butler is gone.

Cala bit her lip slightly, and looked at Abel with a pair of eyes that revealed French style and seemed to be able to speak:

"I always felt like you were doing it again after last night, a bit like a ticket...... If yes, then I'm too valuable. ”

Abel thought to himself that this was probably the unique demented literary attribute of a French woman.

So it was with Sophie Marceau, and so was so with young Calla.

"Hahaha-"

Abel chuckled: "Don't be so arrogant. Dear Miss Beneteau, maybe in my heart, you are really worth so much money? ”

Cala pursed her lips in her heart, what she wanted to hear was that Abel didn't admit that it was that.

It's the relationship between the two, and he looks at the relationship between the two people, and makes choices and investments.

I didn't expect Abel to say that.

Well, Cala also knows that they just met yesterday, and today they will talk about feelings.

It's a bit extravagant, even for many French men and women, believe in having this kind of relationship that takes less than 24 hours.

But the man in front of him is different after all, he is the richest man in the world and a business tycoon.

It takes less than 24 hours to say that this kind of person has developed feelings for himself.

No matter how confident she is, Carla knows it's impossible.

Dementia is a demented woman, and Carla is on a family mission after all.

She has a better background, but she has faced worse situations since she was a child, and she is still much more realistic than Sophie Marceau.

"Six Lagoon 77 haute clay and two super luxury catamarans over 100 feet...... This order is worth at least 1~200 million US dollars. Well, even if it's that kind of capital, I'll admit it. ”

She stared at Abel with watery eyes and said softly.

On the aft deck, there were only two people left.

Able chuckled, and a pair of large hands reached under the thin towel into Calla's beautiful sky-blue one-piece bathing suit.

"Hmm-"

Karla couldn't help but squealed softly.

The new yacht that has just come out to sea is not well adapted to the sea conditions that have not been experienced.

"If I say ......," Abel said in a low voice, full of magnetism, and the charm of the male was on her feet, and whispered in her ear:

"These are not qualifications, but because I am in love with you, I also have a very good impression of Beneteau, so if you place these orders, will you feel better?"

The new yacht endured sea conditions like she had never experienced before, and she knew she had to adapt.

Carla raised her head slightly, looking at him in the sun, wearing sunglasses.

At this moment, she only felt that this American man was really "merde" good-looking.

Merde is a French word equivalent to TMD in Chinese and Shetter in English, the kind that the French often hang on their lips.

"What you said is true?"

"Really."

Abel replied cheerfully.

The response he received was that Cala warmly hugged his neck and took the initiative to send him an authentic French style.

In Abel's mind, this is indeed not that kind of capital, but a long-term BY fee.

If so, it's a one-time thing, or a few times a few times.

BY fee, that is before he gets tired of playing, or before he can afford to pay for it.

Calla would have to be owned by him all the time, belonging to Abel's private yacht in France.

The positioning here is very complicated, so there is no need to tell Karla.

At noon, when Karla rested on the luxury sailboat. At the same time, she happily called her father and the company to report different situations.

Abel left a few men to take care of her, and then went ashore.

Once ashore, he went straight to 26 Garden Road.

If there is no accident, after tonight's banquet, he plans to leave Hong Kong Island tomorrow.

After yesterday's hospital examination, the doctor did not recommend cutting, saying that it was not very big, and it would be treated conservatively first and then see. When I went to the toilet in the morning, I had another attack when I strained myself, and it was uncomfortable to stand and lie in pain. It wasn't until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that it eased a little, and the code word ...... began immediately This chapter was written half-standing and took more than three hours to make, which was too painful. Ladies and gentlemen, after you are over 25 years old, you really need to start taking care of yourself...... I currently owe three chapters, and I'll see if I can make it up later......

(End of chapter)
