Lifestyle is often translated as "lifestyle", but the literal "lifestyle" is more accurate if you take the meaning it points to. The word itself is a foreign word, and "way-of-life" is more suitable for translation as lifestyle. The style can be "frugal and austere", it can be "economical", it can be "prudent", it can be "extravagant", and the highest level of "luxury".

The yacht show held in the second largest city on the second largest island in East Asia is actually a certain "luxury" level of lifestyle exhibition modeled after the French Riviera. In Monte Carlo, where every inch of land is at a premium, it is impossible to exhibit products with low added value, and it is impossible to "extravagant" the following exhibits: not to mention the finished yachts and the "small objects" and "small toys" on the yachts; the service industries related to yachts, such as financial mortgages, design, construction, interior decoration, and personnel, are the main part of the exhibition. Nothing can be speculated on here, a small piece of jade polished decoration can fetch 250 pounds, a casual 50-pound chair in a furniture store can sell for 500 pounds, and the price of a yacht that feels mysterious to outsiders is incomprehensible.

For example, a 200-meter-long passenger ship with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons sells for about $90 million, which is half the length of this yacht, with a much smaller displacement and a smaller superstructure. More or less, some of the frightening price tags on yachts, such as the price of Airbus or Boeing planes, give an almost unacceptable guide price, but the actual subsidy and transaction price is much lower than the nominal list price.

If Lin Yilong really does not rely on the overall planning of the yacht company to come up with its own plan, find all aspects of the design, and place an order to build it in the shipyard, the price will not be much higher than the same length of commercial ships, a very "honest" yacht broker said to Lin Yilong.

"It's dizzying, but it doesn't make any sense if you don't really stay on a boat for a long time. In the dining area, Katie commented to the boat show.

"It can't be helped. Lin Yilong replied, "People always need to find a circle, because yachts are the most expensive, and they can best exclude some real scammers."

"Or the same kind of fat people who slap their swollen faces, like me. Lin Yilong laughed at himself, "So, that's probably it." ”

"But don't you already have a Farmers' Club?" asked Katie, puzzled, "and even if you don't, you don't need other people's approval, your property is already recognized by this society." ”

"I'm glad you mentioned the Farmers Club. "The first question I need to consider when I join these clubs is, will these recognitions give me something, will they allow me to lower the barrier to entry, will they allow me to get an interest-free loan, or will they get the opportunity for a new company to do its first round of subscription?"

"So, this nominal recognition doesn't matter to me, it's how to profit from it is something that people think about carefully – it's a very broad range of interests, and the reason why I joined the Farmers' Club is not so much just to find cute friends and keep warm together. ”

"I just came here and suddenly got a little bit interested in sailing, and I was on a holiday on a fully equipped yacht for a month, which was really good. Lin Yilong replied.

"Home is always the best. Katie found that Lin Yilong's main purpose was not to consider getting acquainted with some people, and she could visit with him more relaxed, and shared some of her feelings about Lin Yilong's thoughts, "Always floating on the sea, giving people a sense of wandering without a fixed place." So, if it's just a whim, why not rent a small yacht in Cardiff Harbour and go out to sea, or hire someone at home who 'serves' you to enjoy it a little. If you take the yacht apart, that's how it feels. ”

Katie is right, but there are some feelings that Lin Yilong has no way to say it to Katie.

"So, I'm not coming. Lin Yilong decided to change to a similar topic, "If we hadn't come here, we wouldn't have met that 'honest and excessive' agent, and we wouldn't have been able to know about this news." I don't think Katie would have made such a strong emotional remark on the subject if he hadn't heard about it. ”

“......”

"So, see if there are any interested people nearby, go out and talk about it, if there is anything you can save money on. Lin Yilong has finished eating the coffee and chocolate that ended up with lunch, "For example, the cabin decoration of a yacht, although it is very similar in nature to the interior, is not the same thing. ”

"You told me you were going to go on a cruise on New Year's Day, did you have this idea for a long time?" asked Katie.

"It's just a little bit of interest, and by some accounts, it's actually part of a kind of vacation, after all, the last trip on the Rhine-Danube from Amsterdam to Bucharest gave me a very good feeling. Lin Yilong replied, "So, the river is only a part of the water, and the sea is not even wider." So, I would like to share this first 'cruise' experience with you, Katie. ”

"If I could run for office, I wouldn't be able to go. Katie replied regretfully, "If it's time for next summer's break, it's still possible." Anyway, I'm also a constituency in the City of London, so I can go out a little longer when Parliament is not in session. ”

"But at that time, that is, the Mediterranean was more. Lin Yilong replied, "I always think that if it is the Mediterranean, it is better to rent a yacht for a voyage in the Mediterranean Sea, as we just discussed, it is best to rent a yacht to sail around the Mediterranean. ”

"That's just as well. Then I want you to make a promise. "If you order a yacht, the first voyage of that boat must be just the two of us, and no one else, okay?"

"If you don't include sea trials, that's fine. Lin Yilong thought for a while, "Because I plan to build this ship in Talbot Harbor as a display platform for new carbon fiber materials." Katie, you should understand that there is no way we can avoid Nadia on this issue. If you don't want Nadia and Vera to disturb our world, it's best to design something seamless. Do you understand what I mean?"

"No problem at all, I'll take care of it. Katie replied, "Is it a deadline for next summer's vacation?"

"Of course, there is no need to rush at all, because the construction period of a yacht is very long, and next summer may not be in time, which is a very broad time. Lin Yilong replied, "However, the same display platform may also be built soon, and you need to measure it up with Katie." ”
