Chapter 1011 Gathering
The Fante Carlo Casino is the largest casino in Monaco, and the owner behind it belongs to the Benaco royal family. And in Monte Carlo, the capital, there is only one gambling king—that is the royal family of Monaco.
At the beginning, Monaco did not have any source of income. In order to generate income for this impoverished small principality. The first casino was established in Monaco. Under decades of development. Monte Carlo has gradually become one of the three major casinos in the world. What is different from other casinos is that the people who gamble in Monte Carlo are wealthy people from all over the world. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of these rich people. The Monaco royal family has issued martial law throughout the country and has formulated extremely strict laws against criminals such as thieves to ensure the safety of all gamblers.
It can be said that in Monte Carlo, it is a city with almost no crime, and there are no slums unique to other big cities, and there are not even poor people defined by other countries. Monte Carlo is a paradise on earth, and of course it is a paradise on earth piled up with money.
Lin Feng, Lin Chiling, and Jessica Alba came to Monte Carlo Casino together.
"Hi, Mr. Lin, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!" As soon as Lin Feng entered the casino, before Lin Feng could appreciate the splendor of one of the three major casinos, Ellison greeted him.
"Mr. Ellison, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm late, please forgive me!" Lin Feng greeted him with a smile.
"Hehe, Lin Xianmang, the two female companions are so beautiful today, I am afraid that many men at the scene will envy Mr. Lin. Ellison looked at Lin Chiling and Jessica beside Lin Feng and said with a smile.
Lin Feng smiled. Isn't that right, in order to attend tonight's party, although it's only in the Monte Carlo Casino, all the rich people from all over the world came here, so Lin Chiling and Jessica both dressed up carefully. Lin Chiling's dress is in keeping with her duty, showing the shrewdness, fruitiness and charm of an urban girl. Jessica showed off her sexy and hot figure. The gorgeous and elegant halter dress makes it beautiful and charming, with a myriad of manners. As soon as Lin Feng twitched at will, he could see the naked desire for Jessica in the eyes of the rich people around him.
It's a pity that when Zhongshi saw Jessica, he naturally also saw Lin Feng, and saw the bodyguard Li Rui and others behind Lin Feng. With Lin Feng present, everyone didn't have the guts to molested Lin Feng's woman in front of Lin Feng. To know. Lin Feng's "cruelty" and "shield". It is world-famous, as well as the "Spike Fang" behind Lin Feng. Li Rui and others from the security company are also world-famous due to Lin Feng's high exposure.
Although everyone was interested in Jessica, a coquettish woman, they didn't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. It can be said that Lin Feng's publicity before was not all bad things, at least it also deterred Xu Qixiao so that these powerless people did not dare to offend Lin Feng easily. "Mr. Lin, this is not the first time we have met, can I call you Lin!" Ellison asked with a smile.
"Of course, Ellison, we really don't have to be so divided!" Lin Feng smiled.
always sir,
Mr.'s cry is indeed awkward. What's more, being able to become friends with people like Ellison is also good for Lin Feng's career development. Many friends, many paths, especially for someone as successful as Ellison.
"Then let's go, Lin. It's in the VIP room above. I've already reserved a box. There's a small reception, and everyone just communicates." Ellison said, holding Lin Feng's hand.
"Then respect is worse than obedience." Lin Feng generously followed Ellison up the stairs.
Ellison was suddenly so enthusiastic along the way. There must be a conspiracy. The so-called being courteous without doing anything is either rape or stealing. It can be said that Ellison and himself had never met before, he was so kind to him, and he held a signing reception for himself on his newly built "Rising Sun" yacht, and he treated him so courteously in Monte Carlo, there must be something in between. What.
It's probably related to today's party!
Not long after, Lin Feng and Ellison arrived at the Qu VIP Room upstairs.
Pushing open the door, the whole room is in a classical European royal style, and the decoration is extremely magnificent, just like a royal palace. certainly. Such luxury does not come without a price, with rents running as high as $50,000 an hour. And that's not counting any other costs.
But it wasn't Jiancan who really surprised Lin Feng. The luxury of a VIP room, but the appearance of a person. Lin Feng did not expect that he would be here.
"Paul Allen!" Lin Feng frowned.
Paul Allen, one of the world's richest people, ranked sixth in the world's richest list in 2010 with a billion dollars. Of course, what makes him really famous is that his colleague is also one of the founders of Microsoft.
.
Back then, Paul Allen and Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft, of which Bill Gates held the initial original shares of Microsoft. Paul Allen owns the original stake in the ship. certainly. Paul Allen left Microsoft due to illness in his spare time, resigned from all Microsoft positions, and became obsessed with astronomy and "aliens". He also invested in the establishment of a "alien museum. "Even invested tens of thousands of dollars to start a search for aliens.
However, although Paul Allen left Microsoft, he did not sell off his Microsoft stock, and he still holds Microsoft stock worth over 100 million US dollars. Still the majority shareholder of Microsoft.
Paul Allen was slightly surprised when he saw Lin Feng's appearance. Although he doesn't have much relationship with Microsoft at present, he is still very clear about the relationship between Lin Feng and Microsoft. At present, the relationship between Lin Feng and Microsoft is very ambiguous. On the one hand, Lin Feng and Microsoft have cooperated to jointly launch a new "audio. It is also launching a new search engine, which is in a competitive relationship with Lin Feng's Baidu, but because "Google" is too powerful, Microsoft needs to compete with Lin Feng's "Baidu. Cooperation, to jointly fight against the strength of "Google".
In short, the relationship between Lin Feng and Microsoft is complicated. But now Lin Feng is getting together with Ellison. Seeing the intimate demeanor between Ellison and Lin Feng, I am afraid that the relationship between the two is not simple. But, when did the two get on the line? "Paul Allen looked puzzled.
If the two get on the line, it will be bad news for Microsoft. This will add more variables to the relationship between Microsoft and Lin Feng.
"Hey Paul, you're here. I thought you weren't coming." Ellison netted through the door and greeted loudly. A smile on his face.
"Of course, Ellison. Your 'Rising Sun.' I'm about to go into the water, so I naturally want to come to congratulate. However, I don't know how it compares to my "octopus. Since my "octopus. After the ship was launched, the contractor once said that my "octopus. Except for your fish, everything on the ship is floating alone in Haibu, always grid!" Paul Allen said sarcastically.
Lin Feng was taken aback when he heard this. Although Lin Feng had heard that Ellison and Paul Allen were rivals, he never imagined that the relationship between the two would be so rigid that they would bicker when they met. Lin Feng glanced at Ellison who was at the side, knowing that he was completely taken advantage of by Ellison this time.
It seems that there is no such thing as a good feast, and Ellison really has an intention to entertain him so enthusiastically. Just wondering, how is Ellison going to use himself? If you just show your friendly relationship to Microsoft like now, it will have no effect on yourself. The relationship between myself and Microsoft will not change in any way. Like the two companies so far, it is no longer something that can be changed by a little bit of this.
No matter what, you are still ready to watch a good show!
"Hehe, Paul, let's wait and see tomorrow. Look at my "Rising Sun." No. Can it beat your "Octopus. No!" Ellison said with a smile. However, the color of his eyebrows is full of meaning. Obviously, this time the "Rising Sun" will definitely not lose to Paul Allen's "Octopus". You know, Ellison already owned two luxury yachts costing more than 10,000 US dollars, and this time he built another "Rising Sun", which is naturally not ordinary.
Could it be that Ellison built the "Rising Sun" just for Paul's "Octopus"? A strange idea popped up in Lin Feng's mind. If that's the case, Ellison would be a little childish to invest hundreds of millions of dollars just to get past Paul's Octopus. But according to Ellison's personality, as well as his relationship with Paul, it is not impossible to do so.
"Paul, since we're in Monte Carlo, why don't we play a game?" Ellison pointed to the game aside.
"Of course, thanks to Monte Carlo, if you don't play a game, it's useless." Paul Allen sat down happily.
The two have long been rivals, but because of their work relationship, they can always meet on various occasions, and they can hardly get rid of each other. therefore. The two have another way of getting along. That is to hit each other on various occasions as much as possible to vent the hatred in your heart.
In fact, speaking of it, it was a bit childish for the two to have grudges at the beginning. After experiencing dozens of failures back then, Ellison finally founded Oracle Corporation. After becoming famous, Ellison, who loved yachts since childhood, bought his first yacht and galloped on the sea. As a result, this time. A 10-foot luxury yacht galloped past him, splashing water that almost soaked Ellison's body.
At that time, the young and vigorous (by then Ellison was already ugly) Ellison cranked up the engine and passed the magic-foot-long yacht at maximum horsepower. And at the time of Yue, he also recognized that it was the luxury yacht of Paul Allen, the second richest man in the world at that time. After the leap, Ellison, who has always been maverick, gave Paul Allen a big middle finger.
The two also had a grudge because of this. In addition, the companies of the two have always been in a competitive relationship, slowly. The relationship between the two became increasingly tense, and eventually it slowly evolved into a dead moment. Moreover, it seems that neither of them has the will to resolve it.
If you tell the story of the two people's grievances. I'm afraid it really makes people laugh out loud.
"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you also play a game?" Paul Allen looked at Lin Feng with a smile.
"Lin, let's play a game. Texas Hold'em. It's very simple. It's not too big. The maximum bet for a single game is 50,000 euros." Ellison said.
Lin Feng smiled when he heard this. It's really not that big. In terms of everyone's assets, this is like playing Doudizhu with a one-yuan hole card with someone with a monthly income of tens of thousands. Especially compared to when he played Texas Hold'em with Suleiman back then. It's really much smaller.
"Wait, since there is such an interesting gamble, why don't you call me one!" An old and sonorous voice shouted.
Everyone looked back. A sixtieth head. The old man with glasses walked in briskly with the support of a young Chinese woman.
Murdoch! Lin Feng whispered in his heart.
Murdoch, the media mogul. Controlling more than the world's media resources, it can be said that he controls the information sources of people all over the world. He can decide what the people can see and hear.
"Hi, Mr. Murdoch, I didn't expect you to come to Monte Carlo, nice to meet, nice to meet!" Ellison greeted him cheerfully.
"Keith (Murdoch's name), are you also coming to participate in Ellison's yacht launching ceremony?" Paul Allen and Murdoch were relatively familiar, so he asked directly.
Murdoch smiled.
"Hehe, of course, I heard that this time Mr. Ellison's "Rising Sun. The No. 1 is one of the biggest orders of the Luersen Shipyard. Naturally, I have to come and visit it when it is launched. Besides, it is said that there will be a special signing ceremony this time. As a media person, how could I miss it! And my wife is pregnant again, so I made her vacation in Monte Carlo! ’ Murdoch laughed.
Murdoch scanned the people in the box and saw Lin Feng smiling.
"It's just that I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lin here. It's really a blessing, a blessing!" Murdoch walked to Lin Feng, took two glasses of red wine from the waiter at the side, and handed one of them to Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, come, let's have a toast. Thank you, Mr. Lin, for taking care of our media people in the past two years. Without Mr. Lin, we couldn't sell so many newspapers in the past two years." Murdoch said with a toast.
Lin Feng raised his glass too.
"Mr. Murdoch, it is a great honor to meet you here. I am also very honored. You know. Mr. Murdoch's "The Sun" has taken good care of me. ah! "Lin Feng has been ridiculed by "The Sun" all the time, but he has been holding his breath in his heart. It's just that he has never had time to get angry with this kind of third-rate tabloid. Now that he meets the right owner, Lin Feng will naturally not let it go.
Even if the "principal" cannot be recovered, a little interest must be recovered.
Murdoch smiled.
"Well, those people are from tabloids, so the things they write are naturally difficult to be elegant. It is only suitable to write scandals about celebrities to impress the public. Mr. Lin, don't take offense!" Although Murdoch apologized, his tone There was no apology at all.
When Lin Feng openly accused himself at the press conference of abandoning his poor wife and marrying his current wife Deng Wenjun, this tone has always made Murdoch uncomfortable. Over the years, the "Sun" has been targeting Lin Feng because of Murdoch's suggestion. "Okay, okay, play cards, play cards!" Ellison saw that the atmosphere on the field was even more tense than when he and Paul were together, so he hurriedly smoothed things over. (to be continued)
