Chapter 140: The Way Home
As far as this negotiation is concerned, the main thing is to explore the tone, and you don't have to go to other people's head offices in person to talk about business, but An Feng feels that this seems to be more sincere, and in line with his plan of "going all the way to the north", saying that it is talking about business, in fact, half of the time is spent playing.
Carl remembered An Feng's key thoughts, the first is big, and his request is the largest in the world; The second is luxury, bringing all the luxuries imaginable to the ship to create a palace on the sea; The third is that the construction speed is fast, and I don't know what the road is for, which is specially requested by the big customers.
After talking about the main things, Carl said: "Mr. An, according to your wishes, we will redesign a cruise ship, it is inevitable that you need to pay some design costs first, and then we will modify it according to your intentions, and send someone to the United States to discuss with you, how about it?" ”
"That's what it is." An Feng nodded, and added: "The design fee is no problem, and I hope you can complete the design before December." ”
Seeing Carl's doubts, An Feng said with a smile: "The U.S. tax year is limited to December 31, and my income this year is a bit large, so I have to turn it into some business expenses." ”
Carl realized and smiled, "No problem, we'll get it done in a hurry." ”
"If you complete the design drawings on time, I can pay you 30% of the money to help you speed up the construction," An Feng said. ”
Karl was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir! It's a blessing to meet such a cheerful customer as you! ”
Carl was certainly happy, because the transaction was expected to be close to $2 billion, and according to the rules, it was generally about 5% of the deposit, and then the shipyard would start working, and there might be 10-15% on the way. It is not until the ship is fully delivered that 80% of the final payment is settled.
An Feng is willing to pay 30% of the contract price, and it is indeed a relief for the Turku shipyard that is not very stable at present, injecting a strong reassuring agent into everyone, and the worries do not exist, and it only needs to be completed according to the requirements of the super-rich. Business is profitable.
In the end, the two parties signed a contract for the design of the boat, and Anfeng had to pay a fee of 1 million euros. Then the two sides shook hands, and the cooperation took only one morning, and both parties were satisfied. Karl returned to Turku the same day, leaving Anfeng and Joanna behind for the last night of their European trip.
The afternoon sun was brilliant, and the blue sky overhead was the clearest An Feng had ever seen, and the California sky was not worth mentioning in front of it, and even the blue sky of Switzerland was difficult to catch. The air is fresh. The scenery is pleasant, cancel all other plans, and Joanna went to the lawn by the lake, sat on the ground, and took out snacks to enjoy slowly. The same is true of the surrounding tourists, all of whom have a laid-back and relaxed attitude.
The four Nordic countries have the happiest inhabitants in the world, and Finland is among them. Residents are generally pursuing the realm of "self-realization", except for those at the bottom. The guy who is still overwhelmed by the high cost of living...... But that's very little, after all, because there is no heaven in the world.
All in all, it's a relaxation. Residents are carefree and have plenty of time to make a living for themselves and enjoy a trip to the country...... Sitting on the ground and stretching out your legs, looking at the boat drifting on the lake, the temperature is cool, and it is perfect for snuggling together. Feel the warmth of each other.
Joanna looked up from his shoulder and asked, "Honey, what are you going to name that cruise ship?" ”
An Feng said, "Since it is a wedding gift for you, let's name it after you," Joanna. Sersi. Stanville'. ”
Joanna smiled: "Is this appropriate?" ”
An Feng asked, "Do you still want to add the religious name 'Elizabeth'?" ”
She shook her head, "That's not what I meant. I mean, it's very monumental. You're just that casual? ”
An Feng was puzzled: "Print the name of the person I love the most, it's casual?" ”
Joanna smiled sweetly: "I know how to do this." ”
An Feng has other plans: "To put it simply, how about 'J.S. Stanwell'?" Or be more domineering and call it 'Queen Joanna'. ”
Joanna leaned on his shoulder, stretched out her head a little lazily to kiss his cheek, her lips pressed against her skin, the tip of her nose breathed in a masculine aura that exuded a strong confidence, and smiled: "It's up to you to decide, I like whatever name you choose." But the 'Queen Joanna' is too exaggerated, right? ”
An Feng hugged this intriguing cat that drilled into him, this weather is indeed suitable for cuddling and hugging. "It's not an exaggeration, didn't the Charm of the Seas move the city up? My cruise ship is to move the palace up, and you are its hostess, so you are naturally worthy of the honorable title of 'queen'. ”
There was indescribable sweetness in Joanna's smile, but it was not all because of the cruise, but more because of An Feng's love that took her as the starting point everywhere, this level of warm love was enough to melt any iceberg in the world, let alone her, a woman who had fallen in love.
An Feng drew a blueprint in his mouth: "Of course, I want to draw the most unique layer, the top one, exclusively for my queen to enjoy, the others refuse to enter, they can only look up below, guessing who the looming phantom is?" And who will be able to conquer her? ”
She laughs and says, "It sounds good." ”
The time on the clock moves fast, and although the day is always the same overhead, it is actually night. In summer, Finland is prone to long daylight days, and even polar days in the north. Eighteen or nineteen hours of daylight is not surprising in Helsinki on a summer day.
Joanna walked hand in hand with him by the lake, looked up and said, "I am suddenly a little reluctant to leave here, and I want to continue walking like this with you." ”
An Feng turned his head, and the smile on his face made people feel like a spring breeze: "There will be a chance, we still have more time together." ”
"Look at me." Joanna stopped, the breeze blew, the lake rippled, and her long hair fluttered gently.
An Feng put his hands on her waist, lowered his head and kissed her soft lips, his body slowly pressed together, closed his eyes, and his body was bathed in the sun...... The wind continues to blow, and it can't blow away the warmth emanating from the bottom of my heart. Some tourists see this scene, are touched by pure love, and can't help but pick up the camera to record it. He waited quietly for the couple to separate before he walked over to ask for their opinion.
The tourist said in English: "The scene just now is so beautiful, I can't help but take pictures of your figures and the surface of the lake, please forgive me for my presumptuousness!" ”
Joanna smiled and agreed: "No problem, please leave us a photo too, okay?" ”
He nodded, "Gladly so, ma'am." ”
……
Early the next morning, they boarded a flight to Paris.
Pick up the crown ordered a few days ago, and such valuables are generally checked in...... But that's just ordinary people's thinking, at Charles de Gaulle Airport, the Gulfstream G650 business jet specially called by An Feng has been waiting for a long time. The car stopped next to the plane, and the driver and flight attendant helped them carry their luggage.
An Feng only needed to hold his wife's hand and walk on the plane easily.
The cost of a round trip on an international route is enough to buy a Ferrari, but An Feng doesn't care, when he sees Joanna holding a jewelry box on the plane, with a satisfied smile on her face, he feels that it is worth it, this little money is not a big deal...... The plane passed through the eastern United States and arrived at its destination after two takeoffs.
Wake up Joanna and take her off the plane, a heat wave is coming, the weather in the west is too bad, just returned from the refreshing and pleasant Nordic countries, really not used to the weather that forces people in air-conditioned rooms and pools, got into the car that came to pick them up, turned around and went home.
This time it's not a separate home, but a common nest.
When I returned home, I found a note pressed on the table, and my sister's family had gone back a few days ago, and I heard that they were in charge of preparing for the domestic wedding banquet. An Feng's heart warmed, this is the care of his family. I put down my luggage and opened some closed doors and windows, it was so hot.
I changed into cool clothes, hid in the shade of a tree, and drank a glass of ice water to cool my body and mind. Open your laptop and browse through the emails these days, and it's no surprise that it's full again, with so many things to deal with, immigration, investment, housing, and a new car on the horizon......
An Feng glanced at it a few times, closed the computer with a "snap", and fell asleep. (To be continued......)
