法國搜救失蹤的一位中國酒店大亨和法國商人

French authorities stepped up their search on Sunday for a Chinese hotel magnate and a French businessman who went missing after their helicopter crashed while they were celebrating the sAle of a prestigious Bordeaux chateau and vineyard.

法國有關部門週日加大力度搜救一位中國酒店大亨和一位法國商人。兩人在乘坐的直升機墜毀後失蹤，當時他們在慶祝出售波爾多(Bordeaux)一個知名酒莊和葡萄園。

James Grégoire, a French entrepreneur, had taken Lam Kok, owner of Brilliant, a Hong-Kong based hotel chain, for a flight over the Chateau de la Riviere estate in his helicopter on Friday when it crashed into the Dordogne river.

上週五，法國企業家詹姆斯?格雷瓜爾(James Grégoire)駕駛自己的直升機，帶柏聯集團(Brilliant)總裁郝琳(Lam Kok)從空中俯瞰大河古堡(Chateau de la Riviere)酒莊，結果飛機墜入多爾多涅河(Dordogne River)。柏聯是一家連鎖酒店集團，總部位於香港。

Mr Kok, who also owns a specialist tea business, had just bought the 90 hectare estate – including 65 hectares of vineyard – and its large 16th century chateau from Mr Grégoire for a reported 30m.

郝琳還擁有一家專業茶園。據報道，他以3000萬歐元的價格從格雷瓜爾手中購買了90公頃的莊園（包括65公頃的葡萄園）和建於16世紀的大型古堡。

A number of journalists had been invited to witness completion of the deal, the latest in a series of purchases of French vineyards by Chinese investors.

多名記者受邀見證這樁交易塵埃落定。這也是中國投資者收購法國酒莊的最新手筆。

An enthused Mr Kok was quoted by French media as saying: “We will create here the hotel I have dreamt about. Our project is as much economic as cultural. We will create an alliance of great wines and the best teas. With a spa and all the wellbeing that goes with it.”

據法國媒體報道，興奮的郝琳曾表示：“我們將在這裏建造我夢寐以求的酒店。我們的項目既是爲了盈利，也具有文化意義。我們將打造美酒與茗茶的聯姻，並配備水療池和附帶的康體設施。”

The acquisition was understood to be the first by Mr Kok and his wife, who co-owns Brilliant, outside China. Brilliant includes four hotels in China under the French brand “Relais et chateaux”.

據信這是郝琳及其妻子（爲柏聯的共同所有者）在中國以外進行的第一筆收購。柏聯在華經營4家法國品牌羅萊夏朵(Relais et chateaux)精品酒店。

Officials said Mr Grégoire was at the controls of the helicopter when it crashed. Also on board were Mr Kok’s 12-year-old son and a Chinese interpreter. A previous owner of the estate was killed in a plane crash 11 years ago.

官員稱，直升機墜機時格雷瓜爾控制着飛機。機上還有郝琳12歲的兒子和一位中文口譯。該酒莊之前的一位所有者在11年前的一場空難中喪生。

The boy’s body was later found, French media reported, but the other three individuals had not been recovered by Sunday afternoon. Divers with specialist sonar equipment were brought in to help search the tidal river, in addition to heat-seeking airborne equipment.

據法國媒體報道，郝琳兒子的屍體後來被發現，但其他三人截至週日下午尚未被找到。除動用具有熱追蹤功能的機載設備外，當局還派出攜帶專業聲納設備的潛水員，在湍急的河流中進行搜尋。
