Chapter 1178: Well Prepared
Chapter 1178 is well prepared
Xia Ruofei said to Qin Lan, "If it's convenient to arrange, it's better to fill up the oil now!"
Because there is still residual diesel in the fuel tank, I don't know how much fuel to fill up, although it is unlikely that the yacht club will make small moves in such a thing as refueling, but Xia Ruofei feels that it is better to watch it in person, and pay the money on the spot, everyone is relieved.
Qin Lan said, "Mr. Xia, if you want to refuel, you need to drive the yacht to a special berth, and if we temporarily find a yacht driver, it may take a little time." ”
Qin Lan also took into account that Xia Ruofei's time was precious, so he said that he would go to refuel in the afternoon, after all, the yacht pilots were all deployed in advance, not that there were people to use them at any time, if they needed to refuel immediately, then Xia Ruofei would have to wait here.
Xia Ruofei smiled when he heard this, and said, "Manager Qin, you just need to contact the person who is refueling, and I can drive the yacht by myself." ”
"Huh?" Qin Lan was startled and said, "Mr. Xia, this is not a joke, driving a yacht requires qualifications, and the punishment for driving without a license is very heavy!"
Xia Ruofei smiled, put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat, of course, he actually took out his yacht driving license from the Lingtu space, and then handed it to Qin Lan casually, and said, "Manager Qin, I have a certificate!"
Qin Lan was a little stunned, subconsciously took Xia Ruofei's yacht driver's license, opened it and took a look, and found that the holder was really Xia Ruofei.
She didn't doubt the authenticity of this certificate, but she was a little surprised that a rich man like Xia Ruofei would take the time to learn how to drive a yacht?
People who have the money to buy yachts generally hire professional drivers and sailors, and for yachts like Xia Ruofei, one driver plus two sailors, and at most two service personnel are enough, and the salaries of these people add up to not much!
However, these thoughts only flashed in Qin Lan's mind, she quickly came back to her senses, and hurriedly returned her driver's license to Xia Ruofei, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I didn't doubt what you meant, but I didn't expect you to actually get a yacht driver's license......"
"It's okay!" Xia Ruofei smiled, "Manager Qin, can we go refuel?"
"Of course!" Qin Lan said, "I'll contact you!"
Qin Lan took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, and after connecting it, she hung up after saying a few words, and then said to Xia Ruofei, "Mr. Xia, our staff is already preparing, you can start the yacht, and I will show you the direction." ”
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Let's go to the flybridge!
The flybridge deck is located on the top deck of the yacht and is the most open deck of the yacht, with a "noble" location and a wide view.
The 11-metre-long flybridge of the Azimut 100 Leonardo has a second piloting area at the very front of the deck, where you can also drive the yacht because there is no windshield to cover it, and the high position has a good view, which makes it possible to experience the feeling of speed.
In addition to the cockpit, there is a lounger area on the flybridge deck of this yacht, a jacuzzi with sunbathing pads, as well as a large sundeck mat near the helm seat and a dining table for 8 guests.
Although Qin Lan was a little afraid of the cold wind in winter, she couldn't refuse when the customer made a request, and besides, it was not far from the berth for refueling, so she couldn't bear it - the refueling terminal was originally operated by the yacht club, which was one of the club's infrastructure.
Qin Lan followed Xia Ruofei to climb onto the flybridge deck, Xia Ruofei sat in the driver's seat and started the yacht, while Qin Lan stood next to him, pointing him in the direction at any time.
To be honest, Qin Lan still felt a little bottomless in her heart, after all, every time Xia Ruofei came to experience the yacht before, it was driven by a professional yacht driver, and she didn't see Xia Ruofei show that he knew yacht driving!
However, the yacht started steadily and slowly left the berth, Qin Lan's heart also settled down - she had ridden various types of yachts, and had also cooperated with different yacht pilots, and when she saw Xia Ruofei's operation, she knew that he must know how to drive yachts, and this certificate was really not bought with money.
In fact, although the yacht driving license was not bought with money, Xia Ruofei did not spend a minute to train, let alone take the test, and Shi Qiang directly helped to get it.
Of course, when Xia Ruofei was in the army, he received some rapid training to master the basic operations, and then he carefully studied the yacht pilot training materials provided by Shi Qiang and the operation instructions of this yacht, so he must be able to control this yacht with ease.
The yacht moved forward slowly, and after a while, it came to the berth dedicated to refueling.
Xia Ruofei saw that there were refueling machines on the shore of several berths in this row, which was equivalent to a gas station, but the object of refueling was a yacht in the water.
Xia Ruofei has become more proficient after some operations just now, and he controls the yacht to berth accurately.
There were already staff waiting on the shore, first taking the cable to fix the yacht to the berth, and then coming over with a refueling gun to refuel the yacht.
The fuel tank capacity of this yacht is about 11,000 liters, and it is about 60,000 yuan if you fill it up. However, there was already a margin in the fuel tank, so in the end, Xia Ruofei paid about 50,000 yuan for fuel.
Although it is not as exaggerated as more than ten or two hundred thousand, for ordinary people, this yacht is really unaffordable.
After all, even if you fill up the tank, if you sail a little farther to sea, I'm afraid that the oil will be used up almost all in one round-trip.
After refueling, Xia Ruofei drove the yacht back to his dedicated berth and parked it before stepping off the yacht.
Before driving away from the yacht club, Xia Ruofei told Qin Lan that he would use the yacht to go to sea the day after tomorrow.
Of course, Xia Ruofei also said it in passing, he didn't need the yacht club to prepare a driver, and he didn't need to bring any other staff.
After leaving the yacht club, Xia Ruofei contacted Liu Zhe again.
Mainly for the purchase of diesel, he thought that Liu Zhe's father was the leader of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and he should have more dealings with large state-owned enterprises such as "Two Barrels of Oil", and he should be able to buy diesel smoothly if he asked for help.
After all, gas stations do not sell diesel directly, they can only drive to refuel, and if you want to buy in bulk, you generally go to the oil depot, but the procedures are very troublesome, involving the approval of many departments.
When Liu Zhe heard that Xia Ruofei wanted to wholesale a batch of diesel, he didn't ask Xia Ruofei what he was doing to buy diesel, so he directly agreed, and at the same time asked Xia Ruofei how much he needed to buy.
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "If you can, about 100 tons! Of course, if you have difficulties, you can have a little less." ”
The fuel tank capacity of his yacht is about ten tons, and if you store another 100 tons of diesel, it is equivalent to a tenfold increase in cruising range, at least a few thousand nautical miles, and if you use economic speed, you can even drive a round trip to Australia.
With such a long range, it is enough for him to gallop freely on the sea.
After Liu Zhe heard this, he said with a smile: "Brother Xia has spoken, how can there be anything that can't be done? Besides, 100 tons is not much." I'll help you run the relevant procedures, and you can get it done in one day!"
"Thank you so much!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "By the way, I need to pack all these diesel fuels in oil drums, and then help me deliver them to the designated place, and I will pay for the money and shipping costs of the oil drums." ”
"No problem!" Liu Zhe said, "I'll let them all fill them all in 200L big oil drums!"
Xia Ruofei calculated that the density of diesel is lower than that of water, and 1 ton of diesel is about 1200L, that is, it needs to be loaded with 6 barrels, and 100 tons is almost about 600 barrels.
These oil drums can be stacked on several floors, and his warehouse in the city is completely able to put it.
So he said, "That's okay, Liu Zhe, I'll send you the address in a while, and you tell the other party that I'll pay for the goods by cash check, and if they need to transfer money, I can also send them to the account in advance." ”
"Okay!" Liu Zhe said, "Brother Xia, just wait for my news!"
......
Liu Zhe's efficiency is very high, and he called Xia Ruofei in the afternoon and told Xia Ruofei that the procedures have been completed, and the oil depot has also been contacted, and 100 tons of diesel fuel is about 120,000 liters.
It's just that because Xia Ruofei asked for it all to be packed in a barrel, it took a little time.
The oil depot will start filling barrels this afternoon, and I will work overtime in the evening, and it will be delivered to the warehouse designated by Xia Ruofei early tomorrow morning.
Xia Ruofei was overjoyed and said, "Thank you! Liu Zhe, you have helped me a lot!"
Liu Zhe smiled and said, "Brother Xia, this kind of thing is just a gesture for me, you don't have to be so polite...... By the way, I'll go with me tomorrow!"
"No need!" Xia Ruofei said, "Just give me the contact information of the person they led the team! I will go over and wait for them in advance." ”
"Anyway, I don't have anything to do tomorrow......"
"There's really no need to bother, just say hello. Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "And I may buy it more than once! I will inevitably trouble you in the future, you can't always send oil over and over again!"
"Okay then!" Liu Zhe said, "Brother Xia, if there is anything, you can call me directly." ”
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei began to sort things out.
He took advantage of this afternoon's time to go to the city to purchase a lot of things, including food, drinking water and other necessities for life at sea, as well as some emergency facilities, survival equipment, and so on.
If it is an ordinary person, due to the limitation of yacht capacity, he will definitely not be able to carry too much, but Xia Ruofei carries a space with almost unlimited capacity, so he has no worries about this at all.
I don't know how long it will take to go out this time, and it is unknown what situation will be encountered at sea, so Xia Ruofei has stockpiled a lot of food, drinking water, seasonings, etc., and as long as he thinks that some other materials may be used at sea, he also purchases them aggressively.
In the afternoon, he used several pickup trucks for supermarket delivery alone, as well as delivery vans from some other stores, and his villa in the city became a transit point for express delivery.
That night, after Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue had practiced for a while, they sent her home early.
Xia Ruofei also told Ling Qingxue that he was going to sail the yacht for a few days.
Of course, he first invited Ling Qingxue to go out with him, but as soon as he heard that in order to test the performance of the yacht, he was going to go out for several days, Ling Qingxue retreated, after all, it was impossible for the company not to go for several days in a row - she was not Xia Ruofei, she could be the shopkeeper.
Xia Ruofei was originally going to go to sea alone, but as for going to the offshore with Ling Qingxue to enjoy the world of two, he could only talk about it next time.
After returning home, Xia Ruofei went to bed early.
The next day, he simply ate some breakfast, delivered Ling Qingxue to the company, and then drove straight to the warehouse in the city.
The fuel truck at the oil depot has not yet arrived, but a manager surnamed Wu has already contacted Xia Ruofei in advance and told Xia Ruofei that they have already set off there, and the time should be almost up.
Xia Ruofei opened the door of the warehouse, and then while waiting, he also sent a WeChat message to Feng Jing on his mobile phone, telling her that he was going out for a few days, and there might be no signal at that time.
He also left the Maritime Satellite phone number equipped on the yacht to Feng Jing, so that if there was anything urgent to contact, he would not find anyone.
Feng Jing has long been accustomed to Xia Ruofei picking children from time to time, and she didn't even complain about Xia Ruofei, but just said that she knew, and then there was no follow-up.
Xia Ruofei waited for about ten minutes before he saw a convoy of several large trucks coming from afar.
A middle-aged man about forty years old jumped out of the first car and said to Xia Ruofei, "Hello, you are Mr. Xia, right?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's me! You're Manager Wu, right?
"Mr. Xia is polite! This is all our work!" Manager Wu said with a smile, "All 600 barrels of diesel are here! Mr. Xia, is it unloaded into this warehouse?"
Xia Ruofei nodded, then glanced at the trucks carrying oil, and said, "Yes, the door here is relatively high, and the car can be driven in directly to unload ......."
"Okay, okay......" Manager Wu said.
Then he beckoned a subordinate to come over, whispered a few words, and the first truck immediately started slowly, drove up the small ramp at the entrance of the warehouse, and drove directly into the warehouse.
The stevedores brought by Manager Wu also immediately ran into the warehouse and began to unload the trucks quickly.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Manager Wu: "Manager Wu, let's settle the payment! Do you accept cash checks? If it is inconvenient, I can also go to the bank with you to transfer money." ”
"Convenient!convenient!" Manager Wu hurriedly said, "You can just give the cash check!"
Xia Ruofei nodded, took out the checkbook from his body, and asked, "How much is it in total?"
