【…… The Lagoon 99 is the latest flagship model from the Lagoon brand, part of the Beneteau Group, one of the world's top manufacturers of catamarans. The Lagoon 99 is 99 feet long and was created by the world's leading yachting partners, VPLP, Patrick Le Quément and Nauta Design. She represents a new world of comfort, luxury, elegance and freedom in the rhythm of a motor catamaran. 】

【…… The Lagoon 99's flybridge has a huge space and can be customised to the owner's needs. The flybridge is equipped with a Jacuzzi, a large folding table and a sunbathing area. There is also the option of a hard top or an electronically controlled semi-rigid awning to provide shelter for the flybridge area. The ergonomically designed operator station is located at the front of the flybridge, with the supporting seat slightly to the right, so that when driving the Lagoon 99, the owner can not only experience the driving pleasure of the Lagoon 99, but also enjoy the deep beauty of the sea at the same time. With an area of 30 m² and the size of a dance floor, the forward lounge offers an unrivalled atmosphere of relaxation......]

【…… It is worth mentioning that the Lagoon 99 is a special flagship catamaran. What makes it special is that it will only produce 18 units, making it a truly limited edition limited edition luxury yacht. That's what makes it special! And the reason why Beneteau Group is willing to invest a huge amount of money to develop this special yacht that only produces 18 limited editions is because the person who placed this order with Beneteau Group is Abel Smith! 】

[You read that right, it was Abel Smith who bought eighteen Lagoon 99 flagship catamarans worth more than $15 million each. We spoke by phone with Mr. Smith's press officer, Miss Amanda Hearst. Miss Hearst said that this was indeed the case, and she also said that these 18 special custom limited edition yachts will be Mr. Smith's reward for the eighteen most decorated models in Elizabeth's backyard and the first to work for the company. 】

【…… Miss Hearst said that Mr. Smith had always been a generous and affectionate man. Elizabeth's Backyard was the first independent company he founded, predating the history of Smith Media. Those 18 models are also his earliest official employees, and he has always attached great importance to them, and this is also for this reason to make this kind of reward......]

【……】

On the morning of May 8, 2004, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Journal and other major American newspapers, together on the relatively unimportant second page, published a news article about the limited edition of the Lagoon 99 catamaran specially launched by the French yachting group Beneteau Group.

Luxury yachts, although not so common in modern society, are only owned by the rich. But in terms of news, they are not big news anymore, unlike the 60s and 70s of the past.

Unless it's the kind of world-class, such as sky-high luxury yachts that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

It stands to reason that the Lagoon 99 catamaran luxury sailing yacht, which costs more than $10 million, cannot be in the news pages of so many big newspapers.

This is true even for minor editions that are not as important.

However, who called the Beneteau Group this time and Abel Smith, the super darling of the entire American media, involved?

What's more, this time the Lagoon 99 is not one, but a total of 18 ships, each at least 15 million, and the total cost has exceeded 270 million US dollars

In terms of quantity or total, it is also possible to be in the news.

Plus the blessing of Abel Smith, and the fact that they were given to 18 supermodels as a gift from Abel Smith.

Abel Smith, 18 luxury yachts, Elizabeth's 18 supermodels......

It can be said that every keyword is full of news heat.

Therefore, on the day the report was launched, people who read the news on the Internet and offline in the entire European and American world were all lively and discussed.

Among ordinary people, because Abel Smith has made too much big news, it is too dense and dense.

For example, on May 1 this year, the world's richest man donated $200 million worth of food to 11 poor countries in Africa, which caused a lot of popularity.

It's only been a few days, and before the heat has dissipated, new news has come out.

With the tall positive energy donation of helping poor African countries in the front, and the super reward awarded to 18 supermodels in the back, no one dares to say anything.

And among the elites, many rich or powerful people who play with flowers are itchy and helpless at the same time.

Because obviously, these people all know that Isha supermodels are Abel's forbidden belly. The eighteen who can get super rewards are estimated to be even more favored.

Now, Abel is just playing with women, and he spends so much money at once.

With his example in the past, when they let these rich and powerful people play with women like them, there are often many unnecessary costs.

Those material women will subconsciously compare them to Aber...... Many times they may not be afraid to say it, but the men can feel it.

It's going to be a bad feeling. Because successful people tend to be more machismo, machismo often can't stand this subtle feeling, this feeling of being compared to other men......

It's okay if everyone doesn't say they don't know, but it would be too embarrassing if someone says it.

As for the guys at the top, most of them laughed at the news, and they all knew what it meant.

By and large, most people just regard this news as another lace news of Abel Smith, the contemporary Howard Hughes, the real-life Tony Stark financial version.

His women, who are well aware of Abel's character and habits, have no good face after knowing this news.

Of course, there is also a large group of people who know the inside story who are envious and jealous of this - mainly the remaining 20 supermodels of Isha.

That night, they also participated in the party in Times Square. They also contribute, not just cheerleaders and atmosphere groups. But in the end, there were no of them among the people who accepted the favor, and neither did the eighteen Lagoon 99s.

Many of them certainly couldn't get angry.

Fortunately, Abel is not stupid and knows the truth that people suffer unevenly. So the other 20 supermodels, although there is no Lagoon 99 reward.

But they also received a check for $2 million, and it was a reward after taxes.

This high reward somewhat soothed some of the resentment in their hearts.

But Abel doesn't care about these things now, it's just a small thing for him.

That afternoon, inside the Smith Building, on the floor dedicated to Smith Media, he held a meeting of the Smith Newspaper Group.

"Sit down—"

In the conference room, the Smith Newspaper Group, the heads and editors-in-chief of its major newspapers, who had come to New York from all over the United States and even many parts of the world to attend the conference.

They had actually been waiting in the conference room for about twenty minutes.

It's just that no one dares to show impatience on their faces.

Looking at the smiling faces, he got up to greet his subordinates, and after coming in, Abel just smiled and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

However, if he, the boss, did not sit down, his subordinates naturally did not dare to sit down first, and when he sat in the chief position, everyone was slowly taking their seats, he smiled and looked around, looked at the smiles on everyone's faces, and joked with a smile:

"It seems that everyone has been doing well lately, everyone is red and bright, I guess, everyone is coming with good news, right?"

"Haha......"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"So, let's get started—" Abel waited until his subordinates finished laughing, smiled and looked at his newspaper group, the head of the newspaper group, Dilan, who was expected to be promoted to CEO of the entire Smith Media Group in the near future, and stretched out his hand to gesture down.
