Chapter 110: Man Yacht Burger

The global financial crisis that began the previous year caused Murdoch to suffer heavy losses. He even failed to enter the top 100 on the Forbes list since 2008, but he still owns Fox TV and more than 100 mainstream newspapers in the United States, and his influence on this planet has not decreased. (Please remember that dA was released a few months ago in Forbes' most influential rankings, which were released a few months ago. He ranked eighth after Obama, Lao Hu, Putin, Zeng Lingfeng, Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and Mexican telecom giant Carlos. Moreover, even if he suffered significant economic losses, his financial resources should not be underestimated.

Murdoch was also a little surprised to see Zeng Lingfeng appear here. As a news giant, his source of information is naturally extremely well-versed. Although he had never met Zeng Lingfeng before, he had a lot of knowledge about Zeng Lingfeng, and he would not have known Zeng Lingfeng.

Ferreti, regardless of whether Zeng Lingfeng and Murdoch knew each other, introduced them to them: "Mr. Zeng, this is Mr. Murdoch, the boss of News Group. Keith, this is Mr. Zeng Lingfeng, the president of Hanyu Group."

Zeng Lingfeng and Murdoch nodded and said first: "Mr. Murdoch, I have long admired him."

Zeng Lingfeng's words are not a crown word, but a truth. Murdoch's personal ability is beyond doubt for this tabloid that will be operating a media empire like News Group. It can be said that in terms of business talent, Zeng Lingfeng cannot be compared with him. The reason why Zeng Lingfeng was able to have a business giant like Hanyu Group in just twenty years was that he borrowed the rebirth of foresight. When it comes to real business practices, he is just a rookie. If Zeng Lingfeng is given the most accurate and direct definition of essence, then, rather than a successful businessman, he is a scholar or scientist.

Therefore, Zeng Lingfeng truly admires someone like Murdoch who has achieved such great achievements with his real ability.

Murdoch was surprised to Zeng Lingfeng's reaction. In his impression, a young man like Zeng Lingfeng, who must be a proud and arrogant person. It would be good if he didn't look at him with his nostrils, but he never expected that Zeng Lingfeng would have such an attitude. However, in his heart, he looked at Zeng Lingfeng a little more high. No wonder Zeng Lingfeng was able to achieve such success at a young age, and it was true that he made sense.

Murdoch naturally did not dare to neglect and stood up and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Zeng, I'm lucky to meet you."

Murdoch speaks Chinese and speaks very fluently. Zeng Lingfeng was not surprised by this. After all, Murdoch and Wendi Deng have been married for a year, and as a tycoon in the press, it is no big deal to know more languages.

When Zeng Lingfeng and Murdoch had seen the ceremony, Ferrati said, "Mr. Zeng, there are still a few distinguished guests who have not arrived. Please take care of them."

Zeng Lingfeng smiled and said nothing, but started chatting with Murdoch.

It turned out that Murdoch came to Tcarlo this time to receive his luxury yacht. His previous yacht has been in use for ten years, so Murdoch changed to a new yacht.

Speaking of the number, this is a very story-produced luxury yacht. On June 25, 1999, 17 days after the divorce agreement between Murdoch and his ex-wife came into effect, Murdoch and Wendy Deng held a grand wedding on the yacht in New York Harbor. On the wedding day, 82 guests, including Murdoch's three children and Wendy Deng's ex-boyfriend's mother, were invited, and Welsh singers also came to cheer them up.

Just as Zeng Lingfeng and Murdoch were talking, three more guests arrived one after another.

Zeng Lingfeng knew the two people who arrived first, and they also had some feelings. They were Oracle president Ellison and one of the founders of Microsoft Group Paul Allen Zeng Lingfeng, who is one of the founders of Microsoft Group, and that was because he was one of the major shareholders of these two companies.

The last person who arrived was Zeng Lingfeng's old acquaintance, and was the Russian oil oligarch Abu.

Seeing the guests coming, Zeng Lingfeng understood that these were all classmates of luxury yachts. Ellison owns the Chaoyang, while Allen owns the Octopus, which are all class luxury yachts that are numerous in the world today. There is another story about the dispute over the size of the yachts between the two.

In 2004, the German Luerson Shipyard was building Ellison's "Xu", which was about 393 feet long, but unexpectedly received a notice that Ellison would lengthen the yacht to 452 feet. The reason for the hasty increase of the length was because Ellison learned that Microsoft Paul Allen's "Octopus" was 413 feet long. Ellison, who did not allow himself to be the second, finally won the king of yachts that year as he wished. This once again interpreted the only rule in the world of king yachts: let size determine everything.

In fact, the two have long been mortal enemies, but because of their work relationship, they can always meet on various occasions and can hardly get rid of each other. Therefore, the two have another way to get along with each other, that is, to attack each other on various occasions as much as possible to vent their hatred.

In fact, it was a bit childish to talk about it. After dozens of failures, Ellison finally started Oracle Company. After becoming famous, he bought the first yacht in his life from Ellison, who loved yachts, and galloped on the sea. As a result, at this time, a luxury yacht of over 60 feet galloped past him, and the splashed water almost splashed Ellison's whole body.

At that time, Ellison, who was 32 years old, increased his engine and surpassed the 60-foot yacht with the highest horsepower. On the way, he recognized it as the luxury yacht of Paul Allen, the second richest man in the world at that time. After Yue, Ellison, who had always been maverick, gave Paul Allen a big middle finger.

The two of them also became a grudge, and their company has been in a competitive relationship. Gradually, their relationship became increasingly tense, and eventually it gradually evolved into a dead end. Moreover, it seems that neither of them has the intention to resolve it.

If we tell the story of the two people's grudges, it will probably make people laugh.

Abu is even more than these two people in pursuing luxury. Not to mention his manned aircraft that cost more than one billion US dollars, he is even more remarkable in his pursuit of manned yachts. He had previously owned four-class yachts, but when the yacht storm was storming around the world, he issued two yacht orders to the yacht company, namely "Eclipse" and "Moon". In this way, the size of his manned yachts combined is as high as 640 meters, which is nearly one hundred meters higher than the total size of the Irish Navy's combat ships.

Abu's "Eclipse" is completely a giant at sea. This behemoth is as long as meter long and has a draft of 5 meters. When sailing on the sea, it is like a white fortress, and it definitely produces the 158-meter-long "Dubai" of the former world's largest yacht - the Dubai Chief Maktoum. This fully demonstrates Abu's ambition and courage. Even if his final budget doubles to 800 million euros, he must make a "world's number one".

Although the "Eclipse" is for Abu and beautiful women to travel to the sea, the defense equipment on the ship is comparable to that of the sea warship. It is no wonder that the shipyard that built it was built was built by the German "Blom Fors" company in Hamburg. It took three years to complete the construction. It was built that year, the famous German warship "Bismarck" in World War II was built that year.

The submarine is equipped with an intruder reconnaissance system and a German missile defense system. The most dazzling equipment is the radium protective cover that specializes in the paparazzi. They are made of white semicircular objects scattered with the hull and will constantly sweep around. Once it detects the existence of important components of the CCD image sensor photography equipment, a beam of strong light will immediately hit the camera, thereby blocking its shooting ability. However, according to the Times, the system will not run 24 hours a day, so it is still possible for guests to take photos as a souvenir. However, when the bodyguard has a sneaky professional photographer, it will be activated immediately.

In addition, the "Eclipse" is equipped with two helicopter aprons, multiple small speedboats and supply boats, as well as its own submarine and submarine cabin. This submarine can submerge 0 feet deep in water and can directly enter the cabin from the bottom of the yacht, so that its owner can board the yacht without realizing it.

In addition, the yacht must hire a crew of at least 75 people to set sail. It is said that it also includes a security team composed of carefully selected former French foreign soldiers. The security measures on the yacht are seamless. The bodyguards have their own dedicated space on the ship. All windows use the most cutting-edge B7 protection system at present, and armor plates and bulletproof glass are installed around the cockpit and the master suite. At least five emergency exits are left on the yacht for escape when attacked. I really don’t know how many enemies and paparazzi this Abu has to be wary of.

Of course, as a seven-star yacht, safety measures are only basic, and the main function is to allow the host and guests to enjoy themselves. The interior design of the yacht is made of a famous London company knife. The main living room is decorated with various modern and classical furniture. A veranda spans the entire yacht, connecting the main living room and the banquet hall. The curved structure at the stern is equipped with viewing glass windows, providing 270-degree invincible sea views.

The yacht is equipped with three sewer slides, and multiple jacuzzi days with a large swimming pool surrounded by Havana. There is also a swimming pool inside the yacht for swimming and swimsuit parties. The depth of this 16-meter long swimming pool can be adjusted. After emptied water, it can immediately turn into a dance floor. The dazzling cinema, shop and restaurant make the sea travel provided by the yacht more comfortable.

When Zeng Lingfeng saw Abu coming, he knew that he might have received his new yacht. After all, his order was placed three years ago, which was placed two years earlier than Zeng Lingfeng's yacht order. By now, the acceptance is because the shipyard has repeatedly delayed the construction period. F
