Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 11 Large Yachts

"Zhao Xin, tell me the truth, what are we going to do?"

In the business class, Liu Sheng looked at Zhao Xin suspiciously.

"Didn't I say watch the yacht?" Zhao Xin glanced at Liu Sheng in surprise, then asked the beautiful stewardess for a cup of hot tea.

When the flight attendant left, Liu Sheng whispered, "Are you watching? You said on the phone that you bought it!"

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Look first and then buy."

"Hey, I'm so violent. You kid can do it now."

"Why don't I ask you to accompany me. You are also the second mate on an ocean-going freighter. You know more about ships than I do."

"I am a cargo ship. There are 24 crew members on a ship, each performing their duties. You are a yacht, playing. Can it be the same?!"

Liu Sheng's voice was a little louder, and the passengers in the front row turned to look at them.

Zhao Xin raised his gaze without hesitation, the long-legged beauty, he paid attention to others when he got on the plane.

Well, take a second look, it's not bad.

The beauty cast a glance at Zhao Xin, then turned back.

Liu Sheng is not in the mood to look at beautiful women. He has just divorced and is very annoying to women.He continued to ask, "Have you chosen the type of ship yet?"

"Well, I contacted the seller by phone before. It was initially selected, but if there are more suitable ones, I will change it." Zhao Xin looked at the magazine and answered absently.

"Excuse me, ask, are you going to buy a yacht in Sanya?" The voice from the front row suddenly sounded, Zhao Xin looked up, and the woman was looking sideways at him.

"Yeah, take a look first."

"I have friends at Yalong Bay Yacht Club, and I can get a discount when buying yachts." The girl thought about it and continued: "After the plane lands, let's add WeChat first."

The two blinked their eyes, thinking that this was a coincidence that it happened to be a yacht sale?

"Don't get me wrong." The girl explained quickly. "A good friend of mine sells yachts and helps each other out."

As soon as Zhao Xin heard it, yes, yes, let's talk first.As for whether it can be discounted, whether it is bought from her so-called friend, what is it?

Liu Sheng looked at Zhao Xin's "cheap smile", then turned to see that the beauty was also smiling, and couldn't help sneering in his heart: "A pair of dogs and men!"

Soon, Liu Sheng exchanged seats with the beautiful woman in the front row at the secret request of the man in the pair of "dog men and women".Listening to the laughter coming from behind, Liu Sheng put on his headphones and fell asleep.

While chatting with each other, Zhao Xin learned that the big beauty is called Gu Xi, 25 years old, from Hujiang.Gu Xi stayed in the north to work after graduating from university. This time she went to Sanya to attend the wedding at the invitation of a good friend, one of the bridesmaids.

After asking how to write the word "Xi" in the other party's name, Zhao Xin entered the pompous mode.

"You were born in the morning?"

"How do you know?" Gu Xi asked Zhao Xin curiously, the beautiful woman blinked at him with big eyes, and Zhao Xin also flew out a big pigeon in her heart.

"The Book of Songs says that the dawn of the morning dawns, and you smile. Xi means the sun." That said, Zhao Xin has read a lot of books, but this guy has a good memory.

"Yeah! You're right, my father named me from this line in the Book of Songs."

"Hey, you can't be a bridesmaid at someone's wedding." Zhao Xin pretended to frown.

"why?"

"When a beautiful woman like you goes, who will look at the bride, all will look at you."

"Screw you."

"Hey, don't believe me, I'm telling the truth."

"You really hate it." Gu Xi's voice was soft.

"It's too cheesy, I like it!" Zhao Xin let out a happy "roar" in his heart.

With beautiful women chatting with each other, the four-hour voyage quickly passed.

After the plane landed, the two added WeChat to each other and left a phone call.As soon as Gu Xi got off the plane, she called her friend at the yacht club and introduced Zhao Xin to him.

After saying hello, Gu Xi sent his friend's phone number to Zhao Xin, who expressed his gratitude.

"Come on, if it's done, just treat me to a feast when you have time."

"Okay, we have to do it. You can talk about what you want to eat."

"Hey, I just like listening to your Beijing movie. How do you say it? Bei Erliu!"

Liu Sheng stood behind the two with a look of contempt and disdain for Zhao Xin.

"Your friend doesn't like to talk, you look at someone with a bitter face." Gu Xi approached Zhao Xin and asked quietly.

"Well, something happened at home, and it's not very good. Why don't I pull him to relax."

"Yo, it's really good that he has your friend."

"It's nothing, high school classmates, good buddies playing together."

Accompanying Gu Xi to pick up the luggage, the three walked out of the airport.

The phone rang, Zhao Xin answered the phone first, and hung up after a few umm.

"Then I'll take a taxi and leave first." Gu Xi said to Zhao Xin after seeing him finish the call.

"No hurry. By the way, your friend didn't arrange to pick you up?"

"Hey, there are too many relatives and friends to take care of. They called me to apologize before, so I had to take a taxi by myself."

"Where are you going?" Zhao Xin asked.

"mangrove forest."

"Oh. I know, take you there in my car."

"Your car?" Gu Xi looked curious, she hadn't heard Zhao Xin mention it on the plane.

"Well, the hotel car."

The hotel sent a Toyota Alpha, and Zhao Xin gave the driver 100 yuan to take Gu Xi to the hotel first.The driver agreed immediately after taking the money, but in fact he was on the way.

It didn't take long for the car to arrive.

Zhao Xin waved goodbye to Gu Xi temporarily.In just a few minutes, this fellow has already made an appointment with others to have dinner together at noon tomorrow.

Zhao Xin booked a sea view villa in a five-star hotel, just 100 meters away from the sea.

"How is it? The scenery is not bad." After entering the house, Zhao Xin looked at the sea in front of him and asked Liu Sheng very satisfied.

Liu Sheng looked at the decoration of the villa indifferently, and complained: "The house is really nice, and the house price is really expensive. Don't mention the sea to me, I stay at the sea all year round, and you still let me see The sea, I almost vomited."

"Can that be the same? There are still groups of beauties on the beach. It's rare to see groups of dolphins on a boat."

It was still early, and Liu Sheng put down his luggage and proposed to go to the yacht club to see the boat.

Zhao Xin made a phone call, and the other party said that he is always welcome.

After checking the route on the mobile phone, the two went out the door without calling a taxi, and walked all the way to the yacht club.

The sales girl in charge of reception was waiting at the door with a smile on her face and led the two to the trestle where the yacht was parked.

What Zhao Xin called in advance to see is an Azimut 98 luxury yacht made in Italy.This is a second-hand yacht. The original owner bought it less than two years ago, but the business failed and had to sell the yacht.

Standing in front of the boat, Liu Sheng stared blankly. He didn't expect that Zhao Xin was looking at such a luxury yacht.He casually asked the sales girl the price of the boat, and the answer frightened him.

It wasn't until Zhao Xin patted him on the shoulder that he woke up and said, "Why did you live alone, you don't even have a wife, why did you buy such a big yacht? By the way, do you have a house in Sanya? How many days can you stay in Sanya every year? You can't make it like this if you have money!"

"Stop talking, you are not "Talking about China"." Zhao Xin patted Liu Sheng's shoulder and said seriously: "I didn't buy this boat for fun, but for great use. Please help me carefully. , is there any problem. As for the reason, I'll tell you when I go back."

As soon as Liu Sheng saw Zhao Xin's very serious expression, he put away the ridicule that was brewing and prepared to erupt, and looked at him suspiciously.Liu Sheng felt that this guy was still burning money. What great use could this thing be?
"This Azimut 98 luxury yacht was launched in 2008. The yacht has a total length of 30.51 meters and a width of 6.8 meters. It is equipped with two 2216 mHP (1630 kW) MTU 16V 2000 M92 engines, with a maximum speed of 32 knots, a fuel tank capacity of 10980 liters, and a fresh water tank. It has a capacity of 1880 liters and is fully loaded with 10 passengers."

The sales girl led the two of them to visit the boat while introducing various technical data of the yacht.

Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng were amazed by the huge door on the main deck that can be opened 180 degrees.There are 4 luxurious bedrooms in the yacht, a total of 8 bunks, and the floors are all paved with marble.

Walking to the stern, the saleswoman gently pressed a button, and the semi-circular glass doors of the stern automatically moved to the sides, and finally completely hidden into the side walls on both sides.

"The whole dining area, salon area and cockpit can be connected here, without any partition in the middle, and the area is 120.8 square meters."

Liu Sheng walked to the engine room under the boat and carefully checked the engine condition.

"It's so rich people just enjoy it." Liu Sheng walked up and nodded to Zhao Xin while complaining.

"What's wrong with driving this boat alone?" Zhao Xin asked in a nonsense.

"Mr. Zhao, you are really interesting, do you need to drive such a big boat yourself?" The sales girl pursed her lips and smiled.

"With me here, two people are enough." Liu Sheng replied indifferently.

Zhao Xin suddenly said again: "Excuse me, if there are 100 people on this boat?"

The sales girl was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Zhao, the number of people fully loaded on this yacht is 10."

Zhao Xin waved his hand and said: "I understand, the number of cabins is only enough for 10 people; I mean this deck, and here they are all seated." He pointed to the dining area and salon area where he was, and drew a big circle.

"Oh. Yes, yes, it should be okay." The sales girl was still a little confused, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart.Say you want to open a big party of 100 people to go to other places, why do you have to be on this ship?Can you be so willful if you have money?By the way, can I come when there is a PARTY?
Liu Sheng looked at it at this time, and said hesitantly, "I think it should be about the same."

Zhao Xin nodded, then turned to the sales girl and said, "The boat is over, we want to go out to sea to see the condition of the boat."

The sales girl first confirmed that Zhao Xin really wanted to buy it, and then called the crew to set sail.

The boat ran for about half an hour, during which Liu Sheng carefully observed the situation of the transmitter, and went to the bridge to chat with the sailor for a long time.Zhao Xin, on the other hand, was sitting in the salon on the boat and had a chat with the sales girl.

After a long time, Liu Shengcai came up and said to Zhao Xin: "No big problem. I heard from the crew that this boat is not usually driven, but the maintenance is done every year. It is really expensive to maintain such a luxury yacht. Money is simply a beast of gold."

Only then did Zhao Xin tell the sales girl to drive the boat back to the dock.When the boat docked and the two parties returned to the club's office, Zhao Xin began to chat with the sales girl about whether to compromise on the price.The two sides talked for a long time, but they did not reach an agreement. Zhao Xin and the other party made an appointment to talk again tomorrow morning, and then pulled Liu Sheng away without any explanation.
