"Look there, those are devil fish!" Alan sharp pointed to the fish in front, which were like dark gray diamond blankets, floating under the water with a slender tail, and there were more than ten or twenty.
Sure enough, the underwater ecology and wildlife here are well protected. This is the place that is really close to nature.
Not far from the lagoon, there are two other boats. Many foreigners and Blonde Bikini spice girls are standing in the lagoon to feed devil fish.
They also stopped the boat, and the lifeguard took the lead in jumping into the sea, and then explained to them the common sense of safety: "devil fish, also known as manta rays,
they are more docile and less aggressive to human beings.
But when disturbed, the strength of the devil fish can destroy a small boat, divers are generally very afraid of the strength and size of the devil fish!
So you should be careful when feeding later. You can reach out and touch them, but don''t try to control their actions, or force them to hold or grasp them, so as not to irritate them! "
Hearing the explanation from the safety officer, Li Yang suddenly felt a little familiar. Isn''t it similar to the rules he set before?
Then, under the guidance of the safety officer, Li Yang, Mishil and Allen went into the water one after another. The sea water was just past the waist, and under the feet was the soft white sand. The safety officer took some food and put it into the water, and immediately attracted the devil fish not far away.
These devil fish are not afraid of people at all, and they are even close to people. While feeding the devil fish, the security officer reaches out his hand to touch the devil fish, and guides Li Yang how to "roll" the devil fish correctly.
When Li Yang saw this, he did it. He found that the devil fish had no integrity at all. They could feel whatever they were fed. Some even took the initiative to rub against you. They gathered around you in various postures to ask for help. Li Yang was so enthusiastic that he doubted whether these "little devil fish" were pets of some large marine creatures. They were very cute.
"I''m just like a cat when I wipe it." Li Yang said with a smile.
Before long, the food not only attracted more tropical fish, but also attracted a large group of seabirds, and began to compete with devil fish for food. The wild animals here are really not afraid of people, unscrupulous and blatant.
It''s a pity that these seabirds won''t be allowed to roll, otherwise Li Yang thinks he can roll them into vultures!
The devil fish is really powerful. When he pounced on Li Yang, Li Yang was hurt. No wonder the safety officer said that the divers were afraid of their strength
But when it comes to diving, Li Yang is looking forward to today''s trip. According to the plan, they will go deep diving today to visit the beautiful ocean kingdom.
You know, Bora Bora Island is one of the "must dive" destinations for diving enthusiasts, and also one of the most beautiful snorkeling resorts in the world.
Here you can see the beautiful underwater world, hundreds of underwater creatures and gorgeous corals, and you can easily meet many rare large marine creatures.
It''s a pity that they didn''t come to the best diving season. If it''s August to October every year, it''s the season when humpback whales migrate to Bora Bora Island. If they dive at that time, they will also have a chance to see humpback whales - the beautiful whale that jumped out of the water in the fantasy rafting of the youth school, and it''s also a beautiful whale that often appears in oil paintings and wall paintings.
It''s famous for its posture of jumping out of the water and its super long front wings.
Li Yang''s new home has a beautiful painting of humpback whales.
However, Li Yang didn''t care too much. After all, if this place is acquired by himself, there will be many opportunities to dive here in the future, and there will be many opportunities to roam and dance in the sea with the docile humpback whale.
Although there must be no humpback whales in sight this time, they can go to "roll sharks" today.
Yesterday, when Alan sharp said that he was going to take them to feed the sharks today, Li Yang thought he was joking, and then asked Allen in the same way: "do you feed the sharks with food or with us?"
Alan sharp was amused at that time, and then explained that they can see a lot of lemon sharks and Blackfin reef sharks when they go diving today.
In the ocean world, there are at least 440 shark species that can be distinguished, ranging from 18 cm to 18 M.
lemon shark and Blackfin reef shark are small sharks. The 8-10 foot length is not very different from human height, and they do not bite people. Therefore, feeding sharks in Tahiti is a very popular project.
After feeding the devil fish in the lagoon, Li Yang drove to the deep sea again and came to a sea area that is especially suitable for deep diving. Li Yang had gained diving skills before, not to mention Mishil, who can do anything from heaven to the sea!
However, Allen sharp is not good at deep diving, so he chose to stay on and put them on. The safety officer led Li Yang and Michelle to deep dive. After changing into professional diving suits on the ship, Li Yang and Michelle jumped into the sea with the safety officer and began to dive.
The beautiful underwater world also appears in front of us. The first ones that appear in front of us are the beautiful tropical fish. They are colorful and colorful. Under the sunlight, these sea elves seem to be able to shine, very gorgeous.If you dive down, you can clearly see the beautiful corals all over the sea. Different shapes and colorful corals interweave into a scene of flowers, like a huge undersea garden.
Li Yang is still experiencing diving for the first time. He is really excited. Although he has seen a lot of underwater world on TV, what he saw with his own eyes is another shock.
This beautiful sea bottom is a completely different world. In a trance, Li Yang feels as if he is deep on Pandora, like a dream!
Close to those corals, you can see more beautiful tropical fish and gorgeous undersea creatures, close at hand.
Li Yang takes out a bag of food from his clothes and opens it. The food disperses with the sea water, and immediately attracts a large group of beautiful small fish. He grabs food around Li Yang. Li Yang also touches those lovely small fish. For a moment, he feels as if he belongs to the underwater world.
Follow the security officer along the coral reef, continue to swim forward, toward the deeper area, not far away, the security officer turned and compared a gesture, Li Yang, they took advantage of the situation to see, turned out to be a group of small sharks.
Li Yang had seen the introduction of the safety officer before he went into the water and recognized those lemon sharks. They were very easy to identify because their skin color was a bit similar to lemon.
Although Li Yang knows that these lemon sharks don''t bite people, after all, these guys still retain the appearance of sharks, which makes people feel scared.
The security officer took Li Yang and Mishil to swim towards the sharks. He also took out the food bag and opened the food to attract the sharks.
Soon, this group of lemon sharks came around, eating food around the safety officer, and the safety officer also reached out and stroked the lemon shark around.
They are the same as the previous group of devil fish, not only do not hide, but also shake their heads and tail like dogs, where there is a bit of ferocious feeling?
Seeing this scene, Li Yang had nothing to be afraid of. He also took out the food and began to feed the shark, and then swayed the shark by the way. That feeling was much more exciting than swaying the cat!
Li Yang and his friends swam for a long time under the sea. Along the way, they enjoyed countless dazzling beautiful corals and fish. During that time, they also passed through an underwater canyon. The bottomless Canyon shocked Li Yang, but what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg in the vast ocean.
Not to mention how small human beings are in front of the universe, even in front of the sea, they are still small and not worth mentioning. The beauty and magnificence of the sea floor are totally beyond the experience of land.
From the bottom of the sea to the surface of the water, Li Yang still has some meaning, he really fell in love with here, fell in love with this beautiful sea.
No wonder Paul Gauguin, the famous French painter, chose to spend the rest of his life here. If he was old, he would certainly choose to spend the rest of his life here.
At noon, they had a very authentic Polynesian lunch on a private island, as well as delicious grilled fish and meat, salads and local vegetables.
The next day, Li Yang and Michelle flew to Toronto with Alan sharp.
After a day''s time difference in Toronto, Li Yang and Michel paid an official visit to four seasons hotel group, held the first negotiation on the acquisition, determined the acquisition method, and signed a preliminary letter of intent.
In the following days, Li Yang hired the most famous local accounting firm in Toronto and set up a special acquisition team to assist him and Michel in all the investigation and evaluation before the formal acquisition.
Although Michel can also serve as the financial consultant, the workload of the acquisition is very heavy, and the efficiency will be higher if there is a team to complete the acquisition.
The acquisition process is a relatively long process, especially Li Yang''s choice of asset acquisition, which also involves the due diligence of each asset in four seasons hotel, and then the ownership transfer and approval of each asset, which also requires the intervention of local relevant departments, so the process of asset acquisition is relatively complex.
But asset M & A is relatively safe, which can effectively identify the risks of debt and creditor''s rights. It is a once and for all acquisition method.
After staying in Toronto for a week, Li Yang returned to China first, leaving the acquisition work to Mishil for the time being.
Li Yang has full trust in Michel''s ability, and it''s at the stage of investigation and evaluation, so he''s useless there.
After returning to the city, Li Yang missed the warmth of Tahiti. It was really cold and humid in winter
However, after a meal of hot pot, Li Yang once again sighed that his motherland was still better. The meals in those high-end restaurants in Toronto were not as good as those in the city. This was one of the reasons why he returned from Toronto earlier. Food and taste were always the most difficult fetters for human beings to give up.
……
It was another half month before Michel returned to the city capital from Toronto. During this period, although Li Yang was in the city capital, he kept in touch with Michel all the time, kept abreast of the progress and discussed the whole acquisition plan.
After careful investigation and comprehensive evaluation by Michel''s team, the current valuation of the Four Seasons Resort on Bora Bora Island is about 1 billion yuan. Considering that the brand premium is no more than 1.1 billion yuan, it is not as high as 1.2 billion yuan as it is rumored. If it was two years ago, it might be worth 1.2 billion yuan.In addition, according to Mishil''s judgment, four seasons group has a strong desire to sell Bora Bora Island Resort.
As we all know, the main shareholders of Siji group are Microsoft and Prince of Saudi Arabia.
At that time, the two wealthy gold owners were optimistic about the prospects of Siji group, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to acquire equity, making Siji group, which was originally listed, delisted and privatized.
But the process of delisting and privatization is the issue of "reasonable" acquisition from small and medium shareholders.
And then on the basis of the consensus of small and medium shareholders, it can be carried out.
And this "reasonable" acquisition means that Microsoft and Saudi prince take "real gold and silver", that is to say, they should all buy back cash at a higher premium.
At the same time, it also needs to pay the cost of accountants and financial consultants, transaction financing costs and potential litigation costs, etc.
Therefore, the privatization process of delisting also makes the two gold owners bear the cost far higher than the actual value.
Although Microsoft and Prince of Saudi Arabia are both rich shareholders, they can not support the expansion of Siji group in the Chinese market. In addition, the hotel industry has huge investment in the early stage and the capital return is slow.
We should know that the construction cost of a hotel is very expensive, the construction cycle is very long, but the cost recovery is very slow.
At this time, the disadvantages of privatization appear - tight cash flow.
There is no way to absorb the cash in the financial market, and the competition in the hotel industry is becoming more and more fierce. In addition, after privatization, some competitors seize the opportunity to seize the city and seize the land, take the opportunity to poach the core personnel of the enterprise, acquire the strategic partners of the enterprise, and so on.
As a result, the situation of Siji group has further deteriorated. If they want to get out of the predicament quickly, the biggest turning point is the layout of Huaxia market.
However, cash flow limits their expansion, so they are in a dead circle.
This is one of the reasons why they began to sell some hotels and resorts. They continue to return a lot of money and spend it on the blade, which is the huge potential Chinese market.
Although the turnover of Bora Bora Island Resort is OK now, it is not difficult to find that the turnover of the whole resort is declining year by year through comparison. Although they have increased the marketing of the hotel in the Chinese market, carried out service transformation for Chinese tourists, and attracted Chinese tourists, they have little effect and have not turned the situation around well.
This is also the reason why they had frequent contact with Alibaba, Tencent and other Chinese consortia as early as two or three years ago and intended to sell the hotel. If they delay for another two years, the market overvalue may continue to fall, and they will further miss the best opportunity to invest in the Chinese market with the recovered funds.
After all, shopping malls are like battlefields. Any opportunity may lead to a loss!
However, the bid of Alibaba and Tencent at that time may be far lower than the valuation at that time, so they did not meet their expectations. After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally failed to reach a deal.
According to Michel''s judgment, Ali and Tencent should also see the embarrassing situation of Siji group. In addition, Bora Bora Island Resort Hotel is not the place they must fight for. Even from the perspective of company strategy, there is no need to rush for a while.
So they can afford to use energy, but they can''t afford to use it in the four seasons.
For Siji, the time passing is the money and value lost. They are waiting for Siji group to soften up first, and then purchase Four Seasons Resort on Bora Bora Island with the lowest price.
