Chapter Twenty-Five: Boat Show
The sun is warm, the breeze is breezy, and there is a faint smell of the sea.
Miami Beach, with its flat white sand, stretches for kilometers and stretches as far as the eye can see.
On the beach, a beach chair, a shade fan. Next to the chair was a small table with a towel and a glass of chilling orange juice.
Mo Fan lay lazily on the chair, leaning sideways, looking at the seagulls foraging in front of the waves and the bikini beauties playing in the waves, his heart was full of leisure and comfort, looking at the translation of the oracle bone inscription unearthed from the Mobian ruins.
Mo Fan was most interested in Poseidon City, that is, Atlantis.
There are many different opinions in the academic community about the study of the Atlantis continent, some believe that it is in the Atlantic Ocean and some believe that it is in Antarctica. There has been no direct evidence of the exact location. The oracle bone inscriptions unearthed at the Mobia site also give only one direction, but whether it is Atlantis or not remains to be studied.
……
A few days later.
Mo Fan traveled to Fort Lauderdale, where a boat show is taking place and is one of the largest yachts in the world. The week-long show featured 1,300 exhibitors presenting 1,700 vessels with a total value of $4.5 billion.
Early in the morning, Mo Fan came to the harbor of the yacht show, took a copy of the introduction to the yacht show, and read it while walking. Suddenly something felt wrong......
Today's weather is good, surrounded by people in sunglasses, cropped pants and short-sleeved shirts, all in a casual holiday stance. Mo Fan is preparing to buy a yacht today, dressed in a particularly formal way, with a suit and leather shoes, looking like a salesman selling yachts.
There are so many yachts on display here, with the finest yachts in the marina area, which usually start at $300,000, and a dozen superyachts over 200 feet.
"Hi, do you know where Riva's yacht showroom is? I can't find the exact location. A girl with small wavy blonde hair gently patted Mo Fan's shoulder and said.
Mo Fan shrugged: "Sorry, I'm a tourist, my first time here." "The blonde girl in front of her is eye-catching, with delicate features and deep, bright amber eyes...... Wearing a casual bikini, she shows off her beautiful figure, long legs and thin waist, and is definitely a goddess level.
"Oh, I'm a model, lost. I'm sorry. The girl recognized Mo Fan as a staff member here, and her embarrassed appearance was a little cute.
"It's a little weird what I'm dressed today. Mo Fan smiled and called a real waiter to help the girl ask about Riva's showroom.
"Thanks, I used to work. The girl politely waved goodbye to Mo Fan and trotted away.
Lovely and beautiful girl.
Mo Fan came with a purpose, to buy a ship that could sail far away.
The exhibition brings together shipbuilders from all over the world and also displays many amazing yachts.
Among them, there are many yachts that make Mo Fan excited, such as the crowd yacht launched by Behringer and Audi. This is a trimaran, the one that used to make a lot of noise, with a total length of 15 meters and a width of 6.4 meters. Two of them were on display this time, one in Space Grey and one in Matte White. But Mo Fan didn't find where it was, and when he found it, the two trimarans had slowly sailed out of the dock, and they should have found a buyer.
Next to it is the flagship product of the Italian and Monaco yacht manufacturer Dynamiq, the GTT115 hybrid yacht. This yacht, Mo Fan booked an offer.
Designed by Porsche Design Studio, the yacht is limited to just seven units. This is the 7/7 that did not take orders, and this is the last one.
Kyle was visiting, saw Mo Fan, jumped off the boat and hugged him: "What a nice yacht." But the price, IMHO, is too expensive. ”
The GTT115 hybrid yacht was originally priced at £12.5 million, but the actual price should be slightly cheaper. There is no specific price tag for this yacht, only offers from buyers are accepted, but it is not sold to whoever has the highest price. Because it is a limited yacht, the owner of the yacht must also have a certain social status...... But in fact, these conditions are just a fart.
If I really cared about this, this yacht would not have been sent here for exhibition, in order to buy a good price.
Mo Fan shrugged indifferently: "I need a yacht that can be piloted alone and can sail far." I have considered the Heesen yacht you recommended before, and I have to find a crew member if I go to sea, it is too much trouble. ”
"Audi trimaran to find out? One of them my uncle bought, and if you like it, he will definitely cut it. The maximum range of 1,000 nautical miles is enough to meet the requirements of most travel. Kyle acted as a guide for Mo Fan, leading him around the yacht and leaving aside the marketing manager who was in charge of receiving important customers.
"So ......" Mo Fan shook his head again: "I want an island, and the price is acceptable within 300 million US dollars." If you help me get it......" Mo Fan gave him a look that you know.
Kyle is pestering himself to curry favor with nothing more than 20 percent of the voting rights of the Great Northwest Gold Mining Company.
"Island ......" Kyle's face suddenly fell, "Our bank doesn't have much research on this. You say a general scope or a specific goal. ”
"Marlon Brando's private island was nice. I wouldn't mind spending a little more. ”
“OK。 ”
Having said this, Kyle had no intention of staying, and accompanied Mo Fan to look at the deck before leaving. Dynamiq's marketing manager stepped forward......
Mo Fan took out the unknown VIP card that Kyle had given him earlier and showed it to him, and said, "I wonder how many sailors are needed to drive this yacht?"
"One sailor is all it takes. The GTT115 hybrid yacht is Atlantic-class, and if you want to sail long distances, you can do it all with three sailors. The manager took the card and looked at it, and respectfully returned it to Mo Fan. The black card is a top membership card jointly issued by the world's major yacht exhibitors, although there are no hard rules for black card holders, but at least a billionaire level, and can easily come up with at least $100 million in cash.
"Can you show me the rest of the place?"
"Of course. ”
The main thing is to visit the living room, bedroom, mechanical cabin and cockpit. And explained the performance of the yacht to Mo Fan,
The GTT 115 has an optional hybrid powertrain with two technical cabins and engine room. Although not as fast as a land sports car, it can cruise at a maximum speed of 39 km/h and has a range of 3,400 nautical miles. With this way, you can fly it between New York and Spain.
The length is 35 meters, the maximum width is 7.1 meters, and the draft is 1.45 meters.
Finally, Dynamiq's marketing manager told Mo Fan that the company's psychological price point was $18.5 million. If there is a quote more than this digit, you can trade it immediately......
None of anyone's money is blown by the wind.
Mo Fan quoted $17.5 million and continued to look at other yachts.
Mo Fan bought a yacht mainly to prepare for the future life of the island owner, and by the way, to explore the legendary Atlantis civilization. If you really can't do it, you can go to Kyle and buy his uncle's Audi trimaran yacht, which has a maximum range of 1,000 nautical miles, which is completely enough to use.
