Due to the presence of the Lunar New Year, the end of the year also becomes less like the end of the year.

On December 7, Friday afternoon, after Fan Liancheng hurried to finish the work at hand, he handed over the company's affairs to a private office, named Qin Zhi to handle it on his behalf, and asked Vice President Yin Zhenghui to help supervise.

After that, I went to the airport to take a chartered private jet, or Gulfstream G550, which belongs to an aircraft leasing company in Port City, and Fan Liancheng's plane may also be attached to this company in the future, so this voyage only charges fuel fees, helping to avoid a lot of money.

The crew members were carefully selected, and the two flight attendants smiled sweetly, white and clean, and spoke softly.

They are all elites who have been carefully dug from civil aviation and then specially trained, and their appearance and personality belong to the top, when they saw Lao Feng on the plane with a U-shaped pillow around his neck, the two flight attendants were a little confused, because there was also a plane on the plane, there was no need to bring it yourself, Fan Liancheng was much more relaxed, he didn't take any luggage, just swipe the card to buy it locally.

"Oh, I really didn't expect me to have such a day, the peak of life, it's really a valuable thing, those ordinary planes are full of people, I can't wait to add a chair even in the bathroom, how can it be so spacious and comfortable, look at this small table, and the bar wine cabinet, so people still have to be rich, although they are all flying in the sky, the quality is different. ”

Feng Dafa wanted to come with him this time, saying that he had long expected that he would go out one day, and he had already obtained his passport and EU Schengen visa, and it would expire if he didn't use it.

After saying good things for a few days, let me do whatever I wanted, and finally waited for Fan Liancheng to nod yesterday.

Several bodyguards also had passports, and Zhao Sturgeon was idle at home and had nothing to do, so he also went with him.

According to Fan Liancheng's thoughts, this is considered to be the one who should have come, and all the ones who should not have come came, and she planned to take the opportunity to invite Han Xiaowen to join her, but after she heard about it, she made a special call to Fan Liancheng, first chatting about the shopping mall, and then talking about the hotel, and finally turned left and right and said that her daughter was going to school and was not allowed to go together.

Having said that, the excuse for inspecting the restaurant business is not easy to use, so I can only give up in the end.

......

The destination is Athens, Greece.

The shipbuilder has contacted the owner of the other Falcon in advance, and the director of News Corp., who invested in Google, has been approved to visit the ship.

The billionaire named Perkins is now living on the world's largest sailing ship after retirement, and at the age of 70, he cares more about the comfort of life than about how much money he makes, and spends about 150 million euros to build the other falcon.

Fan Liancheng didn't think he would spend so much money to buy a boat, but it didn't prevent him from taking the opportunity to visit this famous modern sailing ship, and if he liked it, he would build a slightly smaller one, there was no need to pursue the maximum, just enough.

Cai Jiarong had already communicated with the shipyard and obtained detailed data on other Falcon ships.

With a total length of 88 meters and a total area of 2,400 square meters, the living room is more than 1,000 square meters, which can accommodate at least 12 guests and even has a swimming pool.

Both were 1,08 horsepower engines, provided a speed of 15 knots, a cruising range of 4,000 km, a full speed of 25 knots using sails, and spent 10 days crossing the Atlantic.

Each mast is 58.5 meters high, weighs 25 tons, and is made of carbon fiber, and the owner himself says that he is the person who buys the most carbon fiber except for the Air Force, and the whole ship weighs more than 1,200 tons.

What interests Fan Liancheng the most is that the sails can be automatically raised and lowered, and can also be adjusted automatically according to the direction of the wind, and the owner made a special trip to design a set of programs for the other Falcon horses, although it is not the fun of operating by himself, it is better to be convenient and fast.

To be honest, Fan Liancheng has imagined himself traveling around the world on a boat several times, and the hybrid sailboat gives him a greater sense of security, so that he will not suddenly run out of fuel and can only float on the sea.

Embark on the journey with a sense of anticipation, along with a deck of playing cards.

Zhao Sturgeon said that it was boring to just fight, and he wanted to gamble, so he brought 5,000 euros in cash, and Lao Feng also brought 3,000 euros, saying that he wanted to buy a leather bag for his daughter-in-law, and the rest was eaten, drunk and merry.

I'm sorry to say that before the plane landed, the money of these two people was lost to Fan Liancheng, and Zhao Sturgeon still owed Fan Liancheng more than 600 euros......

Pudong to Dubai, only stop at the airport for just over an hour, and continue to take off to Athens.

It took about 17 hours on the way, which took longer than a direct flight to London, Fan Liancheng slept on the sofa on the way, the material was soft enough, similar to the bed, and he arranged it directly after waking up, saying that he was in his own plane, and there must be a comfortable and soft wide sofa at that time.

In fact, the chair can lie back, it is more comfortable than the ordinary first class, the flight altitude is higher than that of a civil airliner, there is almost no sense of turbulence, and the pressure in the cabin is about 1,800 meters above sea level, which is much more comfortable than the cabin pressure of a civil airliner, and the noise is very small.

These advantages Fan Liancheng found on his first flight that although the journey took longer than when he returned home by civil aviation a few months ago, he was not tired when he got off the plane at Eleftherios Venizelos Airport.

The shipyard helped book the hotel, Cai Jiarong came two days in advance, pinched the time to drive the car to the tarmac, it was an extended Mercedes-Benz, more than ten meters long.

A business manager came to the shipyard, who knew Fan Liancheng's worth very well, and directly treated him as the top guest, personally helped open the car door, and held the roof of the car with his hand to invite him in.

Finally, it is not a shuttle bus from the mainland airport, and there is no need to walk out of the exit in person, simply register and leave the airport, Cai Jiarong told: "At about half past eight in the morning tomorrow local time, we will go to the dock to board the ship first, and it is not clear whether the owner will sail for the time being, if we don't go to sea, we will only visit on the ship, do you think this arrangement will work?"

Fan Liancheng didn't know how much she earned from the plane order, anyway, the introduction fee on his side was about 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and if he also got a kickback from Gulfstream Aerospace, even if it was only one point, he could get about 400,000 US dollars.

It really helped to get a good price, which is slightly cheaper than the market price, but it can't be said that the intermediary fee is lost, and she can avoid many cumbersome procedures.

When a wealthy buyer has extremely high profits, it is no wonder that Cai Jiarong is so interested in visiting the big ship this time.

Sitting in the car, she took a bottle of rosé champagne and opened it, and after seeing Fan Liancheng nodding, she added:

"You guys are tired of the road, stay at the King George Hotel, very close to Syntagma Square, just a minute's walk away, and you can see the Parthenon from the window of your room. I will arrange a Mandarin-speaking tour guide to take you on a tour, and when you come back tomorrow after watching the boat, you will be free to move around, and it is not too late to go to the UK to see another boat when you have had enough. ”

As she spoke, Cai Jiarong stared at Fan Liancheng and blinked, glancing at the salesman sent by the shipyard next to her.

The other Falcon came from the Turkish branch of this shipyard, and it has not yet been decided which shipyard to cooperate with, Fan Liancheng vaguely guessed what she meant, and replied with a sip of wine and a smile:

"Okay, thank you, the British M5 sailboat is not bad, and I have a house in London, so it should be easier to communicate. The product director at Wasbury Sonic Rofort has called me twice and is still considering what style of sailboat to choose, and I just bought a private jet from you, and I'm a little tight on money. ”

This is not for Cai Jiarong, this is for the shipyard salesman Carlo Loew.

One of the essentials of buying something is not to hang yourself from a tree, to let others know that there are competitors, and the M5, which is slightly smaller than the other Falcon in size, is a very good hybrid sailboat, so that the shipyard has a sense of urgency to keep the price down.

After listening to this, Carlo Loew took the initiative to speak:

"The M5 is a good sailboat, but its shortcomings are obvious, don't you think that when there is no sail, that mast looks aesthetically lacking?

And it's not fast enough, the GRP hull is not as durable as the steel hull of the other falcons, so people praise the other falcons in the world as the best sailing boats, the degree of automation is very high, the operation is quite convenient, and you will find the difference when you get on the ship, I will introduce it to you in detail. ”

Cai Jiarong helped Fan Liancheng and said: "I admit that this ship is very good, but the cost is too high, the cost of the M5 seems to be only more than 50 million US dollars, and the cost of the other Falcon is almost three times that of it, right." ”

"That's the customer's demand, and the real cost should not be as high as advertised outside, almost $130 million. The bigger the ship, the higher the cost, if only a sailboat of about 60 meters, even if the same material is used, 50 million US dollars is enough, our shipyard already has a mature process, can save a lot of unnecessary expenses. ”

Carlo Loew introduced that compared to those professional salesmen, he behaved more steadily, the ship was parked at sea, because he was too confident, he didn't even look down on the M5, so naturally he wouldn't bring it out for comparison.

He took out some design drawings and photos for Fan Liancheng to see, focusing on the cabin environment and the awards he had won, both the exterior and the interior were full of modernity, especially the wheelhouse and the bow of the boat where he could watch movies, which made Fan Liancheng feel very cool.

There is a price to pay, as much as 130 million US dollars, it's not that he can't get so much money, but Fan Liancheng really doesn't have the courage to smash a large amount of money on a ship for his own enjoyment, at least for now.

I think there can be about 60 meters, the space is more reasonable and exquisite, it should be very good, there are two or three rooms is enough, how can there be so many guests who need to be received, the budget is forty or fifty million US dollars, from the long construction period, divided into three or four years to pay, the pressure will not be too great.

We had a brief chat on the way, and the rest will be talked about after the visit, if you don't like it, then there is no need to waste your tongue.

After a good night's sleep on the plane, head to the hotel to rest for a while, enjoy the cityscape through the window, with a strong sense of time, and then go out shopping and visit Syntagma Square......
