Chapter 396 If you want to see your money disappear, then go buy a yacht
Rich.
It's time to enjoy life.
At seven or eight o'clock at night, Wang Chen, who was lying on the bed, first reacted to buying luxury yachts, private jets, etc., which are the standard for the top rich.
As for the mansion?
Hey, buddy has a single-family villa worth nearly 300 million yuan in Shanghai, and there are about 150 million courtyard houses in the capital, what kind of mansion do you want?
As for the car, Wang Chen doesn't care, after all, the top version of the Porsche 911 and Hongqi L5 are enough to drive privately.
So, he turned his brain to luxury yachts and private jets.
Speaking of showing off wealth, many people must think of tearing onions for the first time, showing off fresh and refined, filled with a low-key luxury, putting an inconspicuous but worth 10,000 yuan U disk on the table of 200 yuan, spending 490,000 yuan to buy a Sony TV, accepting two sets of global limited edition of three sets, each set of 490,000 headphones, and was also exposed by "Guan Ba" KTV brushed off 2.5 million in one night, dog king Coco fully demonstrates what is a person is not as good as a dog series.
The most dazzling thing is that one of the Internet celebrity girlfriends fell, and thousands of them stood up.
Wang Chen always thought that this was the pinnacle of life, until he saw a documentary called "The Rich Life of a Billionaire", and suddenly realized that compared with the real loser, tearing onions is really very down-to-earth.
Many people may not have seen this documentary.
When Wang Chen saw it, he was almost choked to death by the first sentence of the opening film, which said something like this - are the super rich happy? Maybe they are happier than the super poor.
At that time, Wang Chen didn't know what the comparison between the two was, and he was not even happy to be rich, but what was there to be happy about? With this question, he watched the film and found that he was actually not very happy to be a rich man...... It's super fun!
Many women imagine that the happiness of a rich person should be to be able to buy lipstick, clothes, cosmetics and bags casually.
But the top rich people don't actually do that, and their favorite thing is to collect toys.
What toys?
- Yachts and private jets.
According to the documentary, if you want to see your money go up in smoke, then you go ahead and buy a yacht.
Of course, there are also private jets and yachts, but they don't show off.
Right!
Buy a yacht first, then a private jet.
Wang Chen immediately made up his mind, but he didn't have this channel, who to find out about the situation?
After pondering for a while, Wang Chen thought of the loser...... No, it should be the super-rich second-generation Young Master Xu, this should know something about this, right?
Wang Chen took out his mobile phone while thinking about it and dialed Young Master Xu's phone.
After about three rings, the phone was connected.
The other end of the phone was very noisy, as if it was in a discotheque, and a loud voice came from Young Master Xu, "Brother Xiao Wang, don't hang up the phone, I'll talk to you outside." β
"Okay. Wang Chen responded.
After saying this, he faintly heard that the young master Xu didn't know who he was talking to: "My powerful little brother Wang is looking for me, you play first, I will come over after chatting with him." β
Then there were a few more voices of men and women, too noisy to hear what was being said.
As time went on, the noise became quieter and quieter.
About two minutes later, there was a sound of cars on the other side, followed by the voices of several strange men and women.
"Brother Xu, when will you introduce Brother Wang to us?"
"Yes, yes, I want to know this legendary person in your mouth, if he doesn't have a girlfriend, Brother Xu, do you think I have a chance?"
There were about five or six people, gossiping, and there were a few words that Wang Chen didn't hear clearly.
But from just a few words, Wang Chen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, when did the buddy become a tool for Young Master Xu to show off? You must know that this is the super rich second generation, when I first met, I dragged it very much, well, it seems that the main thing is that his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his social status has unconsciously risen to a certain point, at least, in some people.
"Don't argue, don't argue, you guys go, I'll talk to my brother Wang about things first. Young Master Xu shouted loudly, and then said, "Xiao Wang, what do you say?" β
Wang Chen thought for a while and asked, "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you if you know a manufacturer that sells luxury yachts and private jets." β
Young Master Xu sighed, "You want to buy a yacht and a private jet?"
"Well, with this idea, let's find out first. Wang Chen said.
Young Master Xu said hilariously: "Find a professional manufacturer to place an order, you can make ready-made products, you can also customize them privately, for example, if you want a private jet, you can find Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier and the like, as for yachts, I personally think that the Dutch Dammam shipyard is good, and the Dammam shipyard has yachts that can break the ice." β
Wang Chen snorted, "Why do you want the yacht to break the ice?"
Young Master Xu said as a matter of course: "Why don't you break the ice? You ask many of the world's top rich people, are they tired of driving yachts to places such as the Caribbean Sea or the Mediterranean, and now everyone is more inclined to go to the sea areas that no one else has visited, such as the South Pole, the North Pole and the like." β
Wang Chen: "......"
Nima, rich people really know how to play.
He thought about it for a while, according to what Young Master Xu said, it is better to contact John Chris Morgan by himself, these are foreign manufacturers, relatively speaking, the current head of the Morgan family should know more, but Wang Chen still has to find out what restrictions or noteworthy places there are in private jets and yachts in China.
"Well, I'll contact these manufacturers later, by the way, if I buy a yacht and a private jet, is there anything I should pay attention to?" Wang Chen asked.
"There is nothing too important to pay attention to when it comes to yachts, just find a yacht club or a special boat management company to entrust the management, of course, you can also find someone to get a yacht management team yourself, and only rent berths. Young Master Xu casually introduced, "As for private aircraft, according to national regulations, private purchase of aircraft must sign a custody agreement with the general aviation company to attach to the general aviation company, you can choose the hosting company can provide professional custody, repair and maintenance services, and then customs declaration, apply for three certificates, etc., and after the completion and acceptance of the aircraft, you must apply to the Civil Aviation Administration for the acquisition of reserved aircraft registration number, nationality registration certificate, airworthiness certificate, radio station license, etc., these work can be handed over to the aircraft management company to complete." β
Wang Chen listened carefully.
Subsequently, Young Master Xu introduced some other information.
For example, route application, recruitment of flight teams, etc.
Wang Chen was dizzy when he heard this, and finally said, "It's too annoying, right?"
"If we have money, what are we afraid of, you directly entrust a company to help you complete these things, and you only need to check the plane when you turn around, and spend some money on other things and let others do it for you." Young Master Xu said enthusiastically: "I can introduce the person in charge of this aspect of China Southern Airlines to you, Zhao Fuyou's private jet is entrusted to China Southern Airlines, one-stop service, from the purchase of the plane to the application of the route to help you solve, as long as you pay for it." β
One-stop service?
That's a good feeling, and it saves me a lot of trouble.
Wang Chen's eyes lit up and said, "Cheng, hurry up and help me contact you." β
"Okay, I'll just make a call, and if an unfamiliar number calls you, you can answer it directly. Young Master Xu instructed.
Wang Chen agreed.
Hang up the phone, the private jet matter can basically be solved, as for the luxury yacht, you have to ask John Chris Morgan for help.
Just considering that he had to wait for the call, Wang Chen simply took out another Apple 6 mobile phone from the mysterious space that had been idle for a long time and had been the carrier of the mysterious space, well, let Chen Nian find it, I have to say that it is much more convenient after Chen Nian, like what he wanted before, he had to run to the mysterious space to find it, and now as long as his mind moves, Chen Nian can hand things out immediately.
As if playing a trick, the mobile phone appeared in his hand.
Because he was a mysterious space carrier, this mobile phone didn't need to be charged at all, and it always remained full, Wang Chen couldn't figure out the truth, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he directly dialed John Chris Morgan's phone.
It took five or six rings to connect.
John Chris Morgan across from him seemed to yawn, "Wang, what's the matter with calling me early in the morning?"
At night in China, it is probably early morning on the American side.
Wang Chen said politely: "Didn't disturb your rest, Mr. Morgan?"
"Nope. β
"That's right, I would like to ask if you know a yacht manufacturing company, I want to buy a luxury yacht. β
"Yes, Faraday, Azimut and other companies have business dealings. John Chris Morgan smacked his lips and said, "What kind of yacht do you want, I'll ask you and I'll give you the best price." β
What kind of yacht?
To be honest, Wang Chen doesn't know much about this thing.
He just wants to enjoy life, so he doesn't think about what model or whatever.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Chen said: "It's luxurious, it's better to be bigger, like our domestic Taishan." β
"Tarzan? John Chris Morgan was silent for a moment, then speechless, "You're talking about a cruise ship." β
Wang Chen didn't quite understand, "Is there any difference?"
John Chris Morgan explained: "Yachts are generally small boats for entertainment and leisure, and the sailing distance is of an offshore nature, and luxury cruise ships are different, especially for people to enjoy the luxury of large tourist ships, which are thousands of times larger than yachts in scale and tonnage, and sail around the world, but routes and the like need to apply, if you are just for personal pleasure, I think you can buy a yacht, if you want commercial use, you can buy a cruise ship." β
Oh.
That's right.
It seems that cruise ships are useless for the time being.
Wang Chen said: "Then buy a yacht." β
"I recommend a few of them. John Chris Morgan introduced several yachts in succession, such as the Magellan 50 luxury yacht, with a base price of $1.35 million, and the NISI-2400 yacht from NISI-Yachts in the Bahamas, with a base price ranging from $3.7 million to $4.7 million.
But there is a characteristic of these yachts, they are relatively small, and generally there are no more than ten passengers except for the crew.
After listening to this, Wang Chen was a little disappointed and said, "This is too small, right?"
John Chris Morgan laughed at him, "Isn't that what most yachts are? Do you want Abramovich's top-of-the-line yacht? His yacht is five hundred and thirty-six feet long, and it should fit your requirements." β
Wang Chen's heart moved, and he asked, "How much is this yacht of Abu?"
"Estimate $1.5 billion. John Chris Morgan said.
the groove.
A yacht for 1.5 billion dollars!?
Wang Chen was startled, and then a thought was born in his heart, this is the real rich man should live, 1.5 billion US dollars is almost equivalent to 10 billion RMB, if my buddy gets one, it will definitely be stylish.
Is 10 billion RMB expensive?
Dude casually sold dozens of tons of jadeite and came back!
Damn, that's it.
Wang Chen, in line with the idea of only buying expensive ones and not buying the right ones, said without hesitation: "Okay, just Abu's yacht, you can help me contact the manufacturer." β
Even if John Chris Morgan was sitting on the wealth of the country, he was speechless for a while by Wang Chen's wealth, and he sweated, "Don't you think about it?" β
"1.5 billion dollars is a lot, but money is a thing that doesn't bring it to life or death, so I want this. Wang Chen admitted death.
John Chris Morgan said: "Since you are sure you want it, I can contact you for you, but a yacht like this needs to be customized, and I expect it to be completed in three to ten years." β
Yes?
Three to ten years?
It's been a long time.
Wang Chen couldn't accept it, "Is it going to take that long?"
"Of course, if you don't like it for a long time, I can recommend a concept superyacht to you, all the materials are ready, just need to assemble, and it is expected to be delivered in three months to six months, but it will also cost 1.1 billion dollars. John Chris Morgan said.
This time is acceptable, Wang Chen asked: "What concept superyacht?"
"The concept yacht is called Monaco Street and was designed by Yacht Island, Derbyshire, England. John Chris Morgan said unhurriedly: "As the name suggests, this luxury yacht includes a floating replica of the city of Monaco. More precisely, the model of the streets of Monaco is part of Monte Carlo, and unlike traditional luxury liners, this super-luxurious five-hundred-foot superyacht, a landmark-downed replica of the Billionaire's Playground in Monaco. β
Wang Chen had never been to Monte Carlo before, so he didn't understand, so he continued to ask: "Then does this superyacht have any facilities?"
"Yes. "It includes the famous Monte Carlo Casino and Hippodrome, as well as the HΓ΄tel de Paris, the CafΓ© de Paris, the Laskars and Lois hotels, swimming pools, tennis courts, and a luxurious living area that mimics the best hotels in Monaco. They consist of seven suites with reception rooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms and balconies, all located in the atrium in the center of the ship. Similarly, the atrium houses the main condominiums of the surviving billionaire owners, the luxurious loft, spread over three floors and over 4,800 square feet, as well as barbecue facilities, mini waterfalls, a unique cafΓ© bar, underwater views, helicopters and submarines, but they lack one thing. β
Luxury.
It's so luxurious.
Wang Chen was thrilled when he heard this, "What's missing?"
"There is a lack of a billionaire to turn this dream ship into reality. John Chris Morgan said quietly: "But now it seems that there is something missing, you will be the soul of this dream ship, since you have decided to ask for it, I will help you contact the yacht island company, I am sure that their people will be happy to serve the world's richest people like you." β
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Morgan. Wang Chen said.
After chatting about the yacht, John Chris Morgan was very interested and said, "Since you have bought a superyacht, do you want to have a luxury private jet? Our Gulfstream aircraft produced by General Dynamics are very famous." β
Wang Chen sighed, "Gulfstream Aerospace is owned by your General Dynamics?"
"Of course, do you want it? If you do, with our friendship, I can give you the lowest price, for example, the Gulfstream G650, we sell it for more than 62 million US dollars, I can give you the price of 60 million, how about it?"
1.1 billion luxury yachts have been bought.
Dude still cares about a plane of more than 60 million dollars?
Wang Chen said without hesitation: "Okay, is it in stock?"
"Yes, if you need it, I can help you get the plane to China tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. John Chris Morgan said.
Wang Chen was overjoyed, "Okay, I'll let people send money to Gulfstream Aerospace's account, you ask people to send the plane over as soon as possible, say in advance, I will find a professional to check, if there is a problem with the quality, I can return it." β
"Rest assured, I will personally greet you and guarantee you the best plane. John Chris Morgan said.
The two chatted a few more words.
In the end, John Chris Morgan said that there was no need to rush the money, and when the plane arrived, Wang Chen signed the contract with Gulfstream Aerospace and then remitted the money to the designated account.
Hang up.
Wang Chen is excited, buddy is about to own a superyacht worth 1.1 billion US dollars and a Gulfstream G650 private jet, and he will definitely pull the wind when he turns around and drives out.
I heard that there is a yacht worth hundreds of millions of RMB and a G550 private jet?
Can you compare with buddies, you can't compare at all!
Wang Chen was in a very good mood.
After waiting for another three minutes or so, the Huawei folding phone rang.
He took a look, it was an unfamiliar number, it should be someone from China Southern Airlines, and he was connected.
A young woman's voice came from the other side, "Dear Mr. Wang, I am Guo Sijia, the manager of the customer service department of China Southern Airlines. β
"Hello Miss Guo. Wang Chen said.
Guo Sijia said: "I heard Mr. Xu say that you want to buy a private jet and entrust it to our company?"
"Oh, I've already contacted Gulfstream Aerospace for private jets, they have them in stock, and they are expected to be delivered to China tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I want to entrust you with full authority to handle other aspects?" Wang Chen said.
Guo Sijia immediately said: "Of course Mr. Wang, if your plane arrives tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I think we should talk about the details of the cooperation as soon as possible, otherwise, I will make an appointment with you and meet tomorrow to finalize the cooperation?"
"Yes, I'm here in Shanghai, Shanghai, you will call tomorrow, and I will pick you up at the airport. Wang Chen reported the address.
Guo Sijia agreed, and said that he would come by plane tomorrow morning to discuss the details.
After making an appointment, the two ended the call.
Not long after I hung up the phone, an unfamiliar number with the area code "+44" called.
Don't think about it, it must have been from abroad.
Wang Chen rarely knows the area code of a foreign phone, and of course he doesn't know which country's area code this "+44" is, but he guesses in his heart that it is the British side, after all, he just talked to John Chris Morgan about the purchase of the "Monaco Street" superyacht, he connected, and said in English: "Hello, I'm Wang Chen, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello Mr. Wang, I am Alexander Chapman William, Chairman of Derbyshire Yacht Island Design Company. A middle-aged man's voice rang out.
"Hello Mr. William. β
"Mr. Morgan just said that you intend to make our company's dream ship a reality, is it true?"
"Yes, how much does it cost?"
"Our company has a budget of 1.1 billion dollars, and if you really want to, I can send someone to you right away to discuss the details. β
"Okay, I'm in Shanghai, China, your people can call me when they arrive, and I'll pick them up at the airport. β
I haven't met, there's nothing to talk about.
After chatting a little, Wang Chen hung up the phone, and then brushed his teeth to sleep.
β¦β¦
Next.
At noon, Wang Chen received a call from Guo Sijia and drove Hongqi L5 to the airport to pick up people.
As a result, halfway through, another call came in, and the other party said that it was the business team of the yacht island design company, and they also arrived at Pudong Airport.
Wang Chenxin said that it was quite a coincidence, but he could see from the side that the yacht island design was full of sincerity, for example, the headquarters of China Southern Airlines is in Guangzhou, and it only takes about two hours to fly to Shanghai, while the yacht island design company is in the United Kingdom, and it takes 12 hours to fly over.
From seven or eight o'clock last night on the phone to now at twelve o'clock at noon, the business team of the yacht island design only spent sixteen hours to rush over, including visas, rush to the airport, etc., if the other party is not full of sincerity, no one believes it.
Actually, this is not difficult to understand.
After all, Wang Chen is willing to spend 1.1 billion US dollars, and he believes that any company in the world will serve itself as quickly as possible, not to mention the yacht island design company.
Tsk, the life of a rich person is good.
At the parking lot of the airport's exit gate, I first picked up Guo Sijia and her business team, five people.
Because there were a lot of people, Wang Chen only let Guo Sijia get into his car, and as for the others, he gave the address and asked the group of people to take a taxi to the door and wait for him.
In the car.
Guo Sijia, who looks very similar to Zhang Jingchu at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, has already known Wang Chen, she has a very good figure, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing professional clothes, convex and backward, looking very hot.
Even if there is no shortage of beauties around Wang Chen, he can't help but take a few more looks.
"Mr. Wang, are you still waiting for someone?" Guo Sijia asked when he saw that the car was slow to drive.
Wang Chen snorted, "A few foreign friends came over." β
"Oh. Guo Sijia didn't speak.
About five minutes later, more than a dozen foreigners came out of the machine, and the brown-haired tall foreigner led by him took out his mobile phone and made a call.
At the same time, Wang Chen's mobile phone rang, he connected, communicated with the other side, and then rolled down the window and shook his hand at the group of foreigners.
The foreigners walked up.
Wang Chen got to know him a little, led by Abel, senior vice president of the yacht island design company, and Alan Hebrew, the chief designer of "Monaco Street", he let these two get into the car, and the remaining dozen men and women also gave the address and asked them to take a taxi to their villa.
Drive back.
Guo Sijia took the initiative to say: "Mr. Wang, let me first introduce to you the services of our company. β
Wang Chen held the steering wheel, glanced at the co-pilot, and said, "Hmm." β
"Your private jet is customized from Gulfstream Aerospace, they will solve the customs clearance, and our company will help you solve the rest of the application, custody and maintenance services. Guo Sijia said without saying anything: "In addition, I would like to ask, which airport do you want to park your private jet at?
"I guess so. β
"If you park at Pudong Airport, it is about 5 million a year, and if you serve it like our company, the annual aircraft maintenance fee is about 10 million, the custody fee is 5 million, and the operating fee has to be calculated according to your flight time, the cost of using 300 hours a year is about 18 million to 20 million, if the crew needs our company to provide, you also have to pay their expenses, the captain's salary is 25 to 3,000 yuan per hour, the co-pilot is 15 to 2,000 per hour, and the other flight attendants are fixed salaries, which have been calculated in the operating expensesγ
After Wang Chen listened, he smacked his lips and said, "How much in total?"
Guo Sijia seems to have made an offer a long time ago, "The fixed price is 20 million, and the rest depends on your flight time, but our contract has a guarantee clause, and the annual operating expenses shall not be less than 7.5 million, and if you calculate it, you need to spend at least 27.5 million yuan per year." β
Like this is the quotation of China Southern Airlines, generally speaking, the price can be returned.
Guo Sijia was ready for Wang Chen's counteroffer.
However, what surprised her was that Wang Chen didn't pay back the price at all, "Okay, let's sign the contract later, I just contacted Gulfstream Aerospace, and they said that the plane will be delivered at about twelve o'clock tonight, and then please trouble the people of your company to help reorganize the test flight and check it." β
Guo Sijia snorted, "Aren't you still bargaining?"
Wang Chen looked sideways, blinked, and said, "Can you still make a counteroffer?"
Guo Sijia couldn't cry or laugh, and said in her heart that you are really wealthy, how can you not bargain for tens of millions of business? She said: "You can pay it back a little." β
"Oh, pay it back a little? Forget it, if you don't pay it back, you can help me arrange a better manpower. Wang Chen declined.
Guo Sijia is going to faint, my God, you are too embarrassed, I said a little more, one or two million is fine, you don't care? But then she thought about it, people who can afford to buy planes worth hundreds of millions of dollars, I'm afraid they really don't take one or two million in their eyes.
However, what shocked Guo Sijia even more was still to come.
The two of them had just finished chatting about things, and Abel, senior vice president of the yacht island design company sitting in the back, said: "Mr. Wang, we have brought the conceptual design drawings of the Monaco street yacht, and the materials are ready, you can take a look later, if there are any special requirements, we can also modify it, but the delivery date may be slightly delayed." β
Wang Chen continued to drive and said, "I'll see the concept map later, there shouldn't be any special requirements, you can help me assemble it as soon as possible and send it to China." β
Abel laughed and said, "Sir, you are worthy of being the world's top richest man, and it is really rare for a yacht worth 1.1 billion dollars to have no special requirements." β
it!
An eleven billion dollar yacht?
Guo Sijia was almost frightened when she heard this, she looked at Wang Chen who was driving in a daze, and finally understood why this person didn't make a counteroffer, Nima, buy a yacht for 1.1 billion dollars?
Even if he held a high position in China Southern Airlines and was well-informed, Guo Sijia was also shocked by Wang Chen's financial resources and couldn't say a word.
Half an hour later.
Back in the villa, Wang Chen happily signed a contract with China Southern Airlines, and then looked at the concept map of "Monaco Streets", asked for some details, and after confirming that there was no problem, he also signed the contract.
Subsequently, he opened a hotel for Abel and others.
In the evening, we had a meal together, and finally waited for the plane to arrive in the middle of the night.
β¦β¦
Midnight.
Around twelve o'clock.
Mr. Hou's Wang Chen, who was at the Shanghai headquarters of China Southern Airlines, met with people from Gulfstream, and also saw aircraft parts loaded on large trucks.
Guo Sijia and several leaders of the Shanghai headquarters of China Southern Airlines accompanied him.
Wang Chen communicated with Lane, the person in charge of Gulfstream.
Doorway.
Ryan said: "Mr. Wang, the plane has been delivered to you, our company sent seventy-nine engineers to help you assemble the aircraft, it is expected to take about three days, and then you can carry out the test flight after the assembly is completed, you can sign a contract with us to pay the payment after you are sure that it is correct." β
"It only takes three days to assemble the plane?" Wang Chen was quite surprised, pointing to the countless components on the big truck and said: "With so many components, will three days be too anxious?"
Guo Sijia took over the conversation, she said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you may not know, if you start assembling from the parts, there are no three or four thousand hours that cannot be completed, but the aircraft parts sent by their company have been installed, and the rest only need to assemble the system, wings and engines, three days is not much, like I went to the space to visit one year, and after the assembly of their 380 structure is completed, it is said that the fastest speed can be completed in forty hours." β
Oh.
That's right.
Wang Chen definitely didn't understand this aspect, so he handed over Guo Sijia to be fully responsible, before accepting the aircraft parts, first check whether there are any problems with each part, and these China Southern Airlines will help him solve it, without Wang Chen worrying.
Although it was late at night.
However, Wang Chen was still very energetic, and even climbed into the big truck and touched the parts of the plane, such as the wings, such as the engine, and was very excited.
Ha ha.
Dude finally owns a private jet.
Where to go in the future, you don't have to squeeze the plane with others, just make a phone call to inform China Southern Airlines, it's exciting to think about it, by the way, if you have the opportunity, you must take your parents to travel on your own private jet.
Wang Chen was in a wonderful mood.
Private jets are only the first step, and when the "streets of Monaco" are completed and delivered, he believes that I am afraid that the super-rich second generation like Young Master Xu will have to beg to go to sea for a while, after all, there are only a few yachts worth 1.1 billion US dollars in the world.
Buddy finally has the standard that the world's top rich people should have, life, that's how it should be.
