Vol 2 Chapter 1011: Wind and Clouds Gathering

Chapter One Thousand and Eleven

Wind and Clouds Gathering

The Monte Carlo Grand Casino is the largest casino in Monaco, and the owner behind it belongs to the Monaco royal family. There is only one gambling king in the capital city of Monte Carlo-that is the Monaco royal family.

Since Monaco did not have any financial resources, in order to generate income for this impoverished small principality, Monaco established its first casino. With decades of development, Monte Carlo has gradually become one of the world's three largest casinos. Unlike other casinos, the people who go to Monte Carlo to gamble are all rich people from all over the world. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of these wealthy people, the Monaco royal family has issued martial law throughout the country and has enacted 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, there are no slums characteristic of other big cities, or even the poor as defined by other countries. Monte Carlo is a paradise on earth, and of course it is also a paradise on earth piled up with money.

Lin Feng, Lin Chiling, and Jessica Alba came to the Monte Carlo Casino.

"Hi, Mr. Lin, you are finally here, waiting for you for a long time!" As soon as Lin Feng entered the casino, Ellison greeted him before Lin Feng admired the magnificence of one of the three major casinos.

"Mr. Ellison, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I am a little late, and I hope to forgive me!" Lin Feng smiled and greeted him.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, 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 Feng and Jessica, who were next to Lin Feng, and said with a smile.

Lin Feng smiled. But isn't it? In order to attend this evening's party, although it is only at the Monte Carlo Casino, the people here are all rich people from all over the world, so Lin Chiling and Jessica both dressed up. Lin Chiling's dress abides by her duty, showing the city girl's shrewdness, fruity and charming. Jessica showed her **** and hot figure. The gorgeous and elegant backless outfit decorated her with beauty and demeanor. With a casual glance, Lin Feng could see the *naked* of Jessica in the eyes of the rich people around him.

Unfortunately, when everyone saw Jessica, they naturally 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 molest Lin Feng's woman in front of Lin Feng. You should know that Lin Feng's "cruelty" and "short-term protection" are world-famous, and Li Rui of the "Langya" security company behind Lin Feng is also known globally with Lin Feng's high exposure.

Although everyone is interested in Jessica, this coquettish woman, they dare not think anything wrong. It can be said that Lin Feng's previous publicity was not all bad things, at least it also deterred many Xiao Xiao, so that these incompetent people would not dare to offend Lin Feng easily.

"Mr. Lin, it's not the first time we have met, can you allow me to call you Lin!" Ellison asked with a smile.

"Of course, Ellison, we really don't have to do this anymore!" Lin Feng smiled.

It's always like that, the sir's call is really awkward. Moreover, being able to become friends with people like Ellison is also good for Lin Feng's career development. Many friends and many paths, especially those with successful careers like Ellison.

"Lin, let's go, Lin, in the VIP room above, I have already booked a box. There is a small cocktail party, and everyone is just in time to communicate." Ellison said with Lin Feng's hand.

"Then it's better to be respectful!" Lin Feng generously followed Ellison up.

Ellison's sudden enthusiasm on this road must be conspiring. The so-called nonchalant courtesy, the one who commits crime is the one who steals. Ellison and himself had never met before, and treated him so well, and held a signing reception for himself on his newly built "Sunrise" yacht. In Monte Carlo, he treated himself so courteously. There must be some in between. what.

It is probably related to today's party!

Not long after, Lin Feng and Ellison went to the VIP room upstairs.

Pushing open the door, the whole room is in classical European royal style, and the decoration is extremely magnificent, like a palace. Of course, this luxury is not without a price, the hourly rent is as high as 50,000 US dollars, and not counting any other expenses.

But what really surprised Lin Feng was not the luxury of this VIP room, but the appearance of a person. Lin Feng didn't expect him to be here.

"Paul Allen!" Lin Feng frowned.

Paul Allen, one of the world’s super rich, ranked sixth in the 2002 World Rich List with 22.7 billion U.S. dollars. Of course, his real reputation is his colleague and one of the founders of Microsoft.

Back then, Paul Allen and Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft. Among them, Bill Gates owned 60% of the original shares of Microsoft, and Paul Allen owned 40% of the original shares. Of course, Paul Allen left Microsoft due to illness in 1982, resigned from all positions at Microsoft, and became obsessed with astronomy and "aliens." He also invested in the establishment of an "alien museum", and even invested 25 million US dollars to start a project to find aliens.

However, although Paul Allen left Microsoft, his Microsoft stock did not sell off. He still holds more than $5 billion worth of shares in Microsoft and is still a major shareholder of Microsoft.

Paul Allen was also slightly surprised when he witnessed Lin Feng's appearance. Although he does not have much relationship with Microsoft at present, he still knows the relationship between Lin Feng and Microsoft very well. 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 "wma audio" format. On the other hand, because of the alliance with "Intel", Lin Feng is in a hostile relationship with Lin Feng, and on the other hand. Microsoft is also launching a new search engine, which is in a competitive relationship with Lin Feng’s Baidu. However, due to the overpower of "Google", Microsoft needs to cooperate with Lin Feng’s "Baidu" to jointly fight against the strength of "Google". .

In short, the relationship between Lin Feng and Microsoft is intricate. But now Lin Feng is engaged with Ellison. Seeing the intimacy between Ellison and Lin Feng, I am afraid it is not easy between the two. But when did the two get on the line? ——Paul Allen looked puzzled.

If the two get online, it is not good news for Microsoft. This will add more variables to the relationship between Microsoft and Lin Feng.

"Hey, Paul, you are here. I thought you wouldn't be here!" Ellison just walked in, greeted loudly, with a smile on his face.

"Of course, Ellison, your'sunburst' is about to be launched, and I naturally want to come to congratulate you. It's just that I don't know how it compares with my'Octopus'. Since my'Octopus' was launched, we have contracted to build Shang once said that my "Octopus" has everything except no fish. But it wanders alone in the sea, always lonely!" Paul Allen said sarcastically.

Lin Feng was taken aback when he heard the words. Although Lin Feng had heard that Ellison and Paul Allen were rivals, he never thought that the relationship between the two was so stiff that they would quarrel when they met. Lin Feng glanced at Ellison on the side, knowing that he was completely used by Ellison this time.

It seems that there is no good banquet, and Ellison really has an intention to entertain himself so enthusiastically. I just don't know how Ellison is going to use himself? If you just show your friendly relationship to Microsoft as you do now, it will have no effect on you. My relationship with Microsoft will not change in any way. As the two companies have been so far, it is no longer a little bit of this kind of thing that can change.

In any case, you should be ready to watch the show!

"Hehe, Paul, wait and see tomorrow. See if my "Sun" can beat your "Octopus"!" Ellison said with a smile. However, between his eyebrows, it is full of meaning. Obviously, this time the "Sun" will certainly not lose to Paul Allen's "Octopus". You know, Ellison has already owned two luxury yachts with a construction cost of more than 30 million U.S. dollars. This time, building another "Sunburst" is not ordinary.

Could Ellison build the "Sunburst" just for Paul's "Octopus"? ——A weird thought came to Lin Feng's mind. If this is the case, Ellison would be a little childish, and would invest hundreds of millions of dollars to surpass Paul's Octopus. But according to Ellison's personality and his relationship with Paul, it is not impossible to do so.

"Paul, since it's Monte Carlo, why don't we come to a game?" Ellison pointed to the card game to the side.

"Of course, when it comes to Monte Carlo, if you don't play a round, it's nothing." Paul Allen sat down gladly.

The two have long been deadly 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 to get along. That is to hit each other as much as possible on various occasions to vent the hatred.

Actually speaking, the two of them were very childish when they had a grievance. After dozens of failures, Ellison finally founded Oracle. After his success, Ellison, who loved yachts since he was a child, bought the first yacht in his life and sailed freely at sea. As a result, at this time, a luxury yacht over 60 feet galloped past him, and the splashing water almost wet Ellison's body.

At that time, Ellison, who was young and energetic (Ellison was already 32 at the time), increased the engine and surpassed the 60-foot yacht with the highest horsepower. When he surpassed, he also recognized that Paul was the second richest man in the world at the time. -Allen’s luxury yacht. After surpassing, Ellison, who has always been maverick, put a big **** at Paul Allen.

The two people also had a grievance for this. In addition, the companies of the two people have been in a competitive relationship. Slowly, the relationship between the two people has become increasingly tense. In the end, it slowly evolved into a rival. Moreover, it seemed that neither of them had the will to resolve.

If you tell the story of the two people's grievance, I am afraid it will really make people laugh.

"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 Poker, it's very simple. It's not big, and the maximum bet in a single game is 50,000 euros." Ellison said.

Lin Feng smiled when he heard the words, it was indeed not too big. In terms of everyone's assets, this is the battle against the landlord who is playing a one-yuan card with a monthly income of tens of thousands. Especially compared to the time when he played Texas Hold'em with Suleiman, this is really much smaller.

"Wait, since there is such an interesting game, how can you not call me one!" shouted an old but magnificent voice.

Everyone looked back. An old man with hair and eyes, supported by a young Chinese woman, walked in briskly.

Murdoch! ——Lin Feng whispered in his heart.

Murdoch, media tycoon. He controls more than 60% of the world's media resources. It can be said that he controls the information sources of the people around the world. He can decide what the people can see and hear.

"Hey, Mr. Murdoch, I didn't expect you to come to Monte Carlo too. Good meeting, good meeting!" Ellison greeted him happily.

"Keith (Murdoch's name), are you coming over to participate in Ellison's yacht launching ceremony?" Paul Allen and Murdoch were familiar with each other and asked directly.

Murdoch smiled.

"Hehe, of course, I heard that this time Mr. Ellison’s Rising Sun is one of the largest orders for the Lulsen Shipyard. I will naturally come to visit the launch of it. Besides, it is said that there will be an individual launch this time. The signing ceremony. As a media person, how could I miss it! And my wife is pregnant again, so I let her come to Monte Carlo for vacation!" Murdoch said with a smile.

Murdoch swept everyone in the box and saw Lin Feng smile.

"I just didn't expect to be able 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 on the side, and handed one of them to Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, come and make a toast. Thank you Mr. Lin for taking care of our media people in the past two years. Without Mr. Lin, we cannot sell so many newspapers in the past two years." Murdoch said toast.

Lin Feng also toasted.

"Mr. Murdoch, I am also very honored to be able to meet you here. You know, the Sun newspaper under Mr. Murdoch's is very caring for me!" Lin Feng has been ridiculed by the Sun, but he has always been in his heart. Taking a breath. It's just that there has been no time to get angry with this third-rate tabloid. Now that he met the master, Lin Feng would naturally not let it go.

Even if you can't get back the "capital", you have to get back a little interest.

Murdoch smiled.

"Oh, those people are from tabloids, and what they write is naturally difficult to wait for the elegant hall. It is only suitable for writing some celebrity scandals to sensationalize the crowd. Don't be offended by Mr. Lin!" Although Murdoch apologized, his tone was There was no apology in it.

Back then, Lin Feng publicly accused him of abandoning his wife and marrying his current wife Deng Wendi in a press conference. This tone has always made Murdoch uncomfortable. Over the years, the Sun has been aiming at Lin Feng, which is indicated by Murdoch.

"Okay, okay, play cards, play cards!" Ellison saw that the atmosphere on the court was even more stiff than he and Paul were together, so he hurriedly closed the field.
