The town of Cali is not close to the sea, so there is no base for the consumption of yachts, so there is no repairer.

For this purpose, make a special drive to the yacht base near Port Sini.

Tex borrowed a small trailer rack, which is actually a pair of iron shelves with two wheels hanging on the back hook of the raptor, similar to the principle of the small cart of the domestic grocery shopping aunt.

It took a lot of effort for the two to get "Mary I" to the trailer, but they didn't expect it to coincide with the trailer.

It's the weekend, and it's not uncommon to see yacht trailers running around the streets on the way from the city to the harbor, and they will slow down when they see a bird of prey to see this wrecked boat with water weeds hanging on the bottom.

Turks told him that Australia was a "kill the rich and give to the poor" country, with 80 percent of its citizens being middle-class, a class symbolized by owning villas and yachts.

Small second-hand speedboats cost around $50,000, which the average family can afford, but the price of storing yachts in the bay is very expensive, paying $10,000 a year for berths, so some families simply use trailers to haul the yacht home and put it in the yard.

As he was talking, an SUV dragged a dinghy past the side, and a family of five sat in the car, and it seemed that they were going to the beach for the weekend. This inspired Emperor Wu a lot, and after refurbishing the "Flamingo", you can also go to the beach for a vacation, and then buy an RV of about 100,000 yuan, and it will be white and rich to be at the top of the world.

"Australia has a population of only 24 million, but the number of motorhomes is about 600,000, and when it comes to big festivals, it's all about running on the roads a little further from the city. I'm about to put my savings out to buy one, and Lily loves camping. ”

"It's like you're living in paradise, with a lot of benefits, living in a villa, driving an RV, playing on a yacht, which only the top rich people in China can afford. Emperor Wu said helplessly.

"China will get better and better, I like it there, besides, life can't be compared, just be satisfied." Turks was serious.

Indeed, what Tex said is also the truth, it is good to be satisfied with your own life, compared to coming and going, there are always people who are better than you, which will only increase your troubles.

Sini is also a fashion capital, although it can't be compared to Paris Milan, but it has a southern hemisphere atmosphere. As Australia's most fashionable city, Siney has both modern avant-garde architecture and traces of the Victorian era.

After half an hour's drive, we arrived at the yacht base near the port, where there are no fishing boats and is a place dedicated to sightseeing and tourist boats.

As soon as Emperor Wu stopped the car, a big fat man came over to say hello.

"Hey, man, do you want to repair ships? Don't look at me young, I've been in this business for six years. "It was a white man who was chubby.

Emperor Wu, who was wearing sunglasses, leaned out of the window and waved to him, turned back to the co-pilot Tex and said, "I bet no one will think he's young." ”

Tex also glanced at the big fat man, "That's right, I bet on you to win, indeed, it feels like he's older than me." ”

At this time, the big fat man walked over slowly, leaning against the window and panting, "Hi guys, my name is Andy." ”

Emperor Wu smiled and pointed at himself, and then pointed at Tex, "Emperor Wu, he is the killer Tex." ”

"Oh, Killer Tex. Andy frowned and looked at the co-pilot, "Great, I'm sure all the women of Sini will like you." ”

"Andy, he's actually very small, just big. Emperor Wu turned off the engine and prepared to get out of the car.

"Wow, you know that?" said Andy's expression.

"Haven't you ever gone to the toilet with a man? "Emperor Wu felt that the more he described, the darker he became.

From the appearance of Andy, it is not at all obvious that Andy is indeed the elite of this industry, his father is a famous yacht designer in Cini. In Andy's own words, half of his childhood was spent on a yacht and the other half in bed.

Andy took Emperor Wu and his wife on a tour of the entire yacht base, where there were from tens of thousands of Australian dollars to millions of Australian dollars, and large and small boats were all over the harbor. You can meet people who speak a variety of languages and accents, as well as a Chinese couple who are new to Australia and are planning to buy a dinghy for the family to spend the weekend.

"Seriously, I meet at least a hundred Chinese every year, and they don't care about the price, they only care about whether the yacht is big enough or grand enough, so I go home and ask my father, is there a mistake in our pricing?"

"It seems that you don't know much about China. Emperor Wu didn't explain that every country has a dark side, and there is no need to chatter about it.

Andy's family's yacht 4S shop is one of the best here, with customers all over the world, including branches in Los Angeles and London, England.

Andy asked Emperor Wu to drive the raptor towing the yacht into their maintenance workshop, where several large machines were working, and Emperor Wu took off the hook of "Mary I", and immediately a work vehicle came to pull it away and put it on the elevator like a maintenance car.

A few minutes later, Andy told Emperor Wu that there was no problem with the yacht's fiberglass shell, it only needed to be repainted and polished, and the only thing that needed to be replaced was the engine, which had been burned into a black pulp.

Andy took Emperor Wu to choose accessories in the store, this is the time for Tex to show his ability, he is more good at mechanical things.

"There are a lot of engine options, and I think it's better to choose a more expensive one, durable. ”。 Turks said.

Emperor Wu nodded, the engine is like the heart of a yacht, no matter how gorgeous the appearance is, it is also empty if it is equipped with a garbage engine.

"The quality of the engine is mainly based on the power and economy, the engine should have good power, good acceleration and low fuel consumption, of course, the service network is also very important, this is not to worry, any brand in Australia service system is perfect. Tex explained to Emperor Wu.

"Which flamingo do you think is more suitable for us?" Emperor Wu left the decision to Turks.

"Volvo in Sweden, MTU and MAN in Germany, CAT in the United States, and Yamaha in RB. Tex listed five brands.

"Forget about Yamaha?RB, the reputation of Made in Germany is very good in China, then choose MTU. Emperor Wu said.

Tex laughed, "Boss, it looks like you're going to make the Flamingo into a destroyer." ”

Emperor Wu was puzzled and did not know what the choice of MTU had to do with the destroyer.

"Most of MTU's products are used in warships, tanks, and railway locomotives, and can be regarded as military manufacturers. ”

"Whew, that sounds good, you can patrol Huaxi Lake with a Gatling or a light steam gun in the future. Emperor Wu shrugged.

Tex snapped his fingers, "COOL!"

"When the time comes, the Australian government will send an airborne task force to besiege the ranch, and you will be able to reunite with your comrades. ”

"By the way, there are seats, all of them are replaced with a set of leather, and the repair cost should not cost a few calves. ”

Emperor Wu left the rest of the task to Turks, who had two short years of experience working as a sailor.

Tex and Andy went into the workshop to discuss the details, and Emperor Wu wandered around the harbor alone.

From time to time, yachts dock at shore with a full load and are then towed away by trailers. Some families go out to sea to fish, and have a whole fish feast at sea to get close to the ocean.

Some of them drink coffee, smoke cigars, and taste red wine on the yacht, and share a leisurely time away from the hustle and bustle with friends and family

Some are holding a fashionable party on a yacht and establishing their own mobile social salon on the water, and Australians go to sea to play as common as going to the park and camping in China.

Emperor Wu discovered how many sloped ramps there were on the shore, and it was easy to tow a yacht up along these ramps, even for old Horton parked in the ranch garage.

As he admired the beautiful coastline of Australia, he was attracted by a burst of cheers, and when he looked over, it was a fishing boat that caught a big fish.

Before the fishing boat docked, an old man on the spot excitedly shouted: "Gustavo! It's Gustavo again! I knew he would catch a big fish!"

There were more and more people, all waiting for his ship to dock.

"Hello uncle, is this Gustavo famous?" Emperor Wu asked as he walked up to the old man.

"Hey, boy, you've been here for less than five hours! anyone who's been here for five hours knows Gustavo's name!" the old man was excited, waving his visor vigorously.

"Yes, I lived in Pelican Town and came to mend the yacht. Emperor Wu said.

"It turned out to be a young man from Pelican Town!"

The old man was very excited, "Gustavo is a well-known sea angler in this area! He and his son Eric broke the record of the International Fishing Association last year! You know, it was a 147-kilogram swordfish! God!"

Emperor Wu searched the Internet, and there was indeed this news, last year the father and son caught the big guy off the coast of Xinzhou, and the previous record was 132 kilograms.

"Let's see, Gustavo must have gotten another big fish!"

The old man walked briskly and ran to the place where the fishing boat had landed, and Emperor Wu followed, and at least thirty people ran there, like Robinson spotting passing ships.

As soon as the fishing boat landed, the father and son grinned and jumped off the boat, only to see a big fish as tall as an adult lying on the deck, and the hull of the boat was only a few centimeters above the water.

There was a round of cheering, and some people even opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

"Shet! I fought with this devil for two hours! I was almost dragged into the water by this guy, and now my mouth is parched, because I don't have time to get up and drink water halfway through!" Gustavo told the people like a hero about how he and his son outwitted the big fish.

Eric couldn't hold back his excitement, "This is the first time we've gone to sea in Sini, and we didn't expect to get this big guy, haha, the big fish in Australia are going to avoid our boat!"

"Hello, Eric, can I ask a stupid question, where did you get your fishing line? Emperor Wu found an opportunity to ask him alone.

"Is it Chinese? Fishing line? It's very simple, you can buy it at any fishing tackle shop here, just tell the owner, hey, I'm going to fish for deep-sea monsters! Eric danced and explained to Emperor Wu, "Not only the fishing line, but also the fishing rod, those guys in the sea are not vegetarians! Of course, the body is strong enough!"

Eric pinched Emperor Wu's arm, "Good old man, your arm is very strong, and you passed the first level smoothly." ”

Emperor Wu laughed, "Thank you, buddy, although I didn't understand much, to be honest, I haven't boarded the ship yet, give me your FB account, I'll leave you a message if you have any questions." ”

"Of course. Eric took out his mobile phone, and he and Emperor Wu paid attention to each other.

Emperor Wu planned to wait for the "Flamingo" to be repaired, so he took the fishing rod to the sea to try his luck, and he had never been to sea when he was so big.
