Chapter 1283 Feng Dayan
I don’t know since when, the number of cruise ships and private yachts in Shanghai has gradually increased, or there were many before, but it was not as lively as it is now.
When some people with status and position like to go to high-end restaurants and top clubs, they turn to sailing to the sea to have a party. You will find that the port of the cruise ship becomes more dazzling than the bright lights and wine in the city every night.
And with such shining neon, there are naturally all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women, as well as luxury cars and yachts. There is no shortage of beautiful women around rich men, and there is no shortage of handsome men around rich women.
You can even find many familiar faces who are very active and famous on the screen among these handsome men and beautiful women. The word "living in luxury" began to spread on the endless sea with luxury yachts.
There are gambling boats in Shanghai, of course, they cannot be operated as high-profile as Macau gambling boats, and even the main business cannot be this. It can only be an entertainment venue that provides services.
But those who can get on luxury yachts are naturally rich people. In addition to beautiful women, it is also common for them to play a few games when they are in nature. For such things, basically, the people do not report them and the officials do not investigate them.
After all, this is different from maritime smuggling. Maritime smuggling is a long-term profit chain that must be blocked. But for things like playing a few games on a yacht, these rich people are interested in playing a few games on this yacht today, and they are not interested in playing tomorrow. You can't deploy police forces to watch 24 hours a day, right?
More importantly, who told you that rich people only gamble for money? Who likes who to buy a luxury car first, who is competing for business with whom, so they finish a game at the card table, and even some people who know how to play, like whose mistress to bet on, how do you manage this?
The rich are the vane of luxury goods and the scale of the business atmosphere. When a rich person owns a yacht that makes other rich people feel good, or even a little excited, basically the second, third, and even many yachts have already started parties waiting to be received.
So when the bay yacht became popular in Shanghai, it didn't take long for basically all the rich people in Shanghai to get one. After all, beautiful women are just foils, and luxury cars, villas and yachts are the standard configuration for a rich person to show his wealth.
Of course, the owners of these yachts definitely do not include Yang Dongxu, an alternative rich man. The only reason why he does not sell yachts is that he has played too much in Sanwan and there is nothing special about it.
The second reason is laziness.
If he does not have a job, Yang Dongxu can be a quiet homebody for a week without leaving the house. Moreover, although there are no smart phones now, there are rich and colorful computer games, and there are many types of games to choose from to reminisce in any way.
In addition, there is a son at home who is in the naughty stage and needs to worry about every day, so he has no intention of going out for a stroll.
However, today, Yang Dongxu, who usually takes his wife and children to play on the Bund, appeared at the dock of the luxury yacht and boarded a cruise ship that looks more luxurious than a yacht, or a large yacht that not everyone can afford.
He was not the first to board the boat. When he boarded the boat, it was already very lively. Lan Lan, who was dressed in an evening dress, came out to greet him.
Lan Lan, who successfully prepared for pregnancy and is already a mother, looks much more charming than before. There is no shadow of the little girl who squinted her eyes when she first met.
A decent evening dress, with a half-smiling expression on her face, makes her exude the charm of a mature woman, and her appeal seems to be even greater than that of a young girl.
"Where's Wang Gang?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"He's at home watching the kids." Lan Lan said with a smile.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, but this was obviously a mutual teasing between familiar people. Because Lan Lan helped with Zhang Jing's previous affairs, the two people who should not have had any intersections have been in closer contact in recent years than before.
However, because they don't meet often, and although they have intersections in the circle, Yang Dongxu is a very homebody who doesn't like to attend banquets. So most of these contacts are some business dealings.
Of course, it's not the business dealings between Lan Lan and Wang Gang and Yang Dongxu himself, but some cooperation between the couple's industries and Yang Dongxu's companies.
It's not to belittle Lan Lan and his wife. With Yang Dongxu's current status in the business world, he really doesn't need to ask about these businesses in person. Lan Lan and Wang Gang are rich in political resources, but unfortunately neither of them pursues a career in politics. In business, they are undoubtedly younger brothers in front of Yang Dongxu.
"Welcome, welcome, Young Master Yang is a rare guest. If Lan Lan hadn't mentioned his business during dinner one day, I wouldn't know where to go to burn incense." Walking into the yacht from the outside, it feels about the same as an ordinary yacht with more than ten people.
There are already no less than 30 men and women sitting in this large yacht that can be used as a cruise ship, and many of them are familiar faces to Yang Dongxu. For example, Du Tianyi, Bao Xingyu and Li Changze.
A middle-aged man with a beard came up with a big laugh. He was drinking with his left and right arms just now. When he saw Yang Dongxu, he stood up with a smile and looked very happy.
"Young Master Feng is polite. I am honored to be invited by Young Master Feng." Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and shook hands with the other party.
Feng Hangu may be unfamiliar to many people when he mentions this name. It seems that no one has heard of this name in either the political or business circles.
But when it comes to the Feng family of Tiannan, although there are no local tyrants in this era, Tiannan is undoubtedly infinitely close to the title of "local tyrant", and even in some things it is.
Of course, compared to the local emperors in ancient times who wanted to divide the river and rule, or to establish an independent kingdom. The local emperors nowadays obviously cannot play like this, otherwise, whether you are a dragon crossing the river or a tiger on the ground, you will be finished in minutes in front of the state machine.
So there can be no mistakes in politics, but because the family's business has almost formed a monopoly in a certain industry, it is also a local emperor in a sense.
For example, the Feng family started out by freight. Although it is not as famous as the world-class shipping king, those who eat this mouthful of food in the small acre of land in Tiannan still really have to look at the face of the Feng family.
In addition to the rise of real estate and international mineral investment in recent years, the Feng family has expanded again and again without showing off. In official careers, the Feng family is actively advancing, and in business, the Feng family can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds.
If we only talk about financial resources, including various assets, Yang Dongxu, who has always been called a local tyrant, may not be as rich as the young master Feng in front of him.
After all, he has risen rapidly in recent years by constantly laying out the light of economic reform and opening up. The Feng family was very powerful before the economic reform. It is impossible that Yang Dongxu was the only one who got rich after the economic reform. They had such a good foundation that they could either make airplanes or bombs. Unlike Yang Dongxu, who had to rely on Yang family banquets to slowly start his career.
So although Yang Dongxu's assets have always increased by 10 times in the past few years, sometimes they have a strong foundation that is 10 times or more than 10 times his.
Of course, Yang Dongxu can make his own decisions about the assets in his hands. Although the Feng family is a big family that is strong in both the political and business circles, it is precisely because it is a big family that the Feng family does not belong to Feng Hangu alone. So in some ways, Young Master Yang is still a little more powerful than Young Master Feng.
"It is said that hearing is not as good as meeting, and meeting is far better than hearing. I wanted Lai Tianqing to introduce us a long time ago so that we could sit down and have a meal, but who knew that Lai Tianqing was unreliable and did not introduce me for a long time. Young Master Yang can enjoy himself today." Feng Hangu still smiled heartily.
Some people present didn't know Yang Dongxu at first. Feng Hangu stood up to greet them personally and started to record who this young man in front of them was. Hearing Feng Hangu's words again, the original guess about Yang Dongxu's identity in his heart went up a level.
"Since Young Master Feng has said so, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you today." Yang Dongxu's smile became more intense.
But his brain was very clear. Although he and Feng Hangu met for the first time, it was not the first time they met each other. As early as many years ago when the Changhua case happened, Yang Dongxu knew that there was such a person.
There are even many rumors that the person standing behind the Changhua case is this Young Master Feng in front of him. Because in Tiannan, shipping is still done by sea. Without the consent of the Feng family, the Lan brothers dared to play so big and would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
But at the end of the investigation, there was no strong evidence to prove the Feng brothers in front of him. They only pointed to the fact that the Feng family was very powerful in Tiannan and the Lan brothers did not dare to be so unscrupulous without their acquiescence.
Obviously, it is untenable, not to mention that you have said that without the tacit consent of the Feng family, the Lan brothers can't play in Tiannan. The Feng family is not only not a soft persimmon, but also a steel plate. If there is no real evidence, false accusations will be held responsible.
"I know you don't drink too much. Don't worry, we are just friends today. Having fun is the most important thing. I don't want to get Young Master Yang drunk." Feng Hangu said with a big laugh.
If it weren't for the previous incident with Changhua, just this kind of cool appearance, not being particular about trivial matters and not being self-righteous. It seems to be a very good friend to make.
"Hey, everyone is here. Feng Dayan's yacht is big enough. Lend it to me for two days."
Just when Yang Dongxu was pulled by Feng Hangu to take a seat, a discordant voice sounded, and many people looked stunned.
Several people who were obviously in Feng Hangu's circle heard someone calling them the boss like this, and they were furious and wanted to show it, but after seeing the person coming, their faces were still angry, but their body movements stopped.
"Yu Xiaoniao, you came even though I didn't invite you. You are obviously a bad guest. I set up this game to have fun. Why should I invite you?" Feng Hangu snorted without changing his expression.
From Yang Dongxu's angle, his eyes are indeed not small. To put it in a more cultural way, he has a pair of tiger eyes. In addition, Feng Hangu is tall and has regular features. With such a pair of tiger eyes, he looks very heroic. Of course, it is definitely big. It feels a bit big even without staring, and it will be even bigger if he stares.
However, after subconsciously observing Feng Hangu from the corner of his eye, Yang Dongxu looked more at the lower body of the visitor. Not only him, but many people present had the same eyes as him, which made the visitor instantly lose his composure.
