49. Yacht Show

When he got up at six o'clock the next day, Qin Shiou estimated that Winnie hadn't woken up yet, so he went downstairs to order breakfast.

During the period, he bought a copy of the "Toronto Morning News", Qin Shiou saw that Toronto was actually holding a spring yacht show, the newspaper said that the exhibition lasted for a week, and nearly 100 yacht companies from more than 20 countries gathered here.

Toronto is home to the Port of Toronto, one of Canada's four major commercial ports, located on the northwest shore of Lake Ontario, with a maximum draft of 10 meters and no tidal changes.

The Port of Toronto is a busy time to live, as many shipping lanes are open and closed due to Canada's cold climate, such as the Lake Boat Season at the Port of Toronto from early April to the end of December, and the first week of April to mid-December for sea vessels.

It's early May, and the waterway has just opened, and there are many tourists, and fishing is in full swing.

At half past seven, Qin Shiou waited for Winnie, he sent breakfast up, and after the two ate together, they were ready to go to watch the yacht.

Winnie changed another set of clothes, the top was a lace base layer with a lace standing collar, and the shirt was decorated with delicate lace beaded knots, which brought out a gentle ladylike feeling when worn on her.

The sleeves are made of lace material with a hazy seduction, which wraps the delicate jade arms in this way, making her arms particularly slender and beautiful. The back of the dress is designed with a teardrop-shaped cutout, revealing a little charm, elegant and fashionable.

With a base layer, Winnie used a black and white floral skirt with a skirt that only reached above the knee, with a high waist design to show off her long and delicate body, plus black silk and black high heels, making her look fashionable and sexy.

Qin Shiou saw that he was still wearing the T-shirt with the basketball logo on him, he was a little embarrassed, he really didn't pay attention to his image.

Standing in front of Qin Shiou, Winnie turned around slightly and said with a smile: "I dress like this, are you used to it?" ”

Qin Shiou said: "It's great, it looks very beautiful." ”

Hearing this, Winnie smiled happily: "That's good, let's go." ”

Out of the door of the hotel, Winnie naturally reached out and put her hand on Qin Shiou's arm.

Qin Shiou was overjoyed for a while, he wondered if he should go to see a yacht, and it would be cool to take Winnie around the street for a day.

Of course, this diaosi idea is to think about it, and the two still went to the yacht show.

The boat show is held outdoors, and the weather in Toronto in May is mild, and the warm sun is pleasant. When you arrive at the shores of Lake Ontario, it is even more comfortable when the fresh breeze blows in your face.

In North America, yachts have become a fashionable means of transportation, whether it is an ordinary family or a local tycoon, they all like to play yachts, and each has its own way of playing.

Don't look at Qin Shiou's net worth now, in fact, if he plays yachting, his net worth is really not high-grade.

In the United States, which advocates monetary capital, there is a very classic question: If you were given 100 million dollars, what would you buy to enjoy?

For $100 million, you can buy 100 Rolls-Royce, or dozens of country houses, or a few private jets, but if you use this money to buy a ship, a super luxury yacht, I'm afraid that $100 million is just enough.

From the time of the first royal hunting ship in the mid-17th century, the "yacht" became synonymous with luxury and was favored by royalty, celebrities and the richest of the world.

The high purchase costs, maintenance fees, berth fees, etc., have built a watershed between tens of millions and hundreds of millions of net worth wealth.

When a yacht leaves the port, there is an additional palace on the sea, and the owner of the yacht has the power of a king, and is there more temptation for a man to freely navigate his own world of luxury?

So, even though the yacht show is on its sixth day, it is still full of people and the crowd at the venue.

Although Qin Shiou wanted to buy a yacht before, St. John's is also a small place after all, and there are many companies that sell yachts, but there is a lack of real luxury yachts.

At the exhibition this time, Qin Shiou saw all the luxury yachts.

The exhibition begins with a luxury yacht owned by the Italian Riva Group, according to the introduction, this is the main flagship of Riva this year, with magnificent interior decoration, living room, master room, guest room, kitchen, bar, dance floor, karaoke system and other equipment, all kinds of high-tech equipment, communication and satellite navigation system are also available.

Of course, this yacht is also very expensive, a full 14 million Canadian dollars!

Bypassing this luxury yacht, it is officially entering the exhibition site, the exhibition hall is divided into seven exhibition areas, which are divided according to the function of the yacht, namely:

Sport yacht area, RIT area, family vacation yacht area, fishing boat area, private business yacht area, business outsourcing yacht area, superyacht area.

The superyacht area covers the largest area, but only two yachts appeared on the scene, Qin Shiou and Winnie went to see the yacht called 'Al Salama', which was just built by the German shipyard LΓΌrssen, according to the attendant, the ship has been ordered by Saudi Arabia's Minister of Defense, Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz.

With a length of 139 meters, a living area of 8,000 square meters, a total of 80 rooms, a crew of 96 people, and even a plunge swimming pool on board, the Al Salama has everything else such as a kitchen, cinema, restaurant, bar, gym, golf and tarmac.

Obviously, this kind of luxury yacht is more attractive to the eye than luxury cars, and when Winnie saw this boat, she couldn't help but whisper: "Wow, God, that's amazing!" ”

Beautiful women can always be treated preferentially, a shopping guide took the initiative to introduce the ship to the two, as the understanding of the ship increased, the more attractive the two felt, Winnie envied: "It would be nice if I could get on the boat and have a look." ”

The shopping guide shrugged helplessly and said: "If you come on the first day of the exhibition, you will have the opportunity to visit on the ship, but unfortunately this boat has been bought and tourists are not allowed to visit on the ship." ”

After a while, Qin Shiou was about to leave with Winnie, and a group of Muslims wearing traditional Arabic robes walked over, and when they saw these people, the shopping guide left Qin Shiou and the two to greet them, and asked enthusiastically: "Mr. Al Nahyan, are you here to receive the yacht?" ”

Among these people, the leader was a man about thirty years old, with deep eyes and a high nose, a proud expression, and a spotless white robe on his body.

Qin Shiou saw that this person felt familiar, so he used his brain, and then asked tentatively: "Hi, Afif Sheikh Ha Lifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan?" ”

Afif was the same Middle Eastern tycoon who had previously auctioned his bronze statues of Borseus and Medusa at Ritchie, but he was wearing a suit when he participated in the auction at the time, and now he is wearing an Arabic robe and a scarf on his head, and his image is a little different.

Hearing Qin Shiou's voice, the leading man was stunned, he turned around and laughed, walked up and stretched out his hand and said, "Qin? Hello, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

The two shook hands and greeted each other, after which Qin Shiou asked, "Did you buy this boat?" ”

Afif shook his head and smiled: "No, it was bought by one of my elders, and I came to receive it for him." ”

Qin Shiou asked: "I remember that you are the nephew of a high-ranking official in the United Arab Emirates, and the shopping guide said before that the ship belongs to the Minister of Defense of Saudi Arabia, are you relatives?" ”

Afif smiled: "Yes, the Minister of Defense you are talking about is my brother-in-law, and my sister-in-law is married to him. ”

With this relationship, things were easy to handle all of a sudden, Qin Shiou asked if he could get on the boat to see, and Afif waved his hand very boldly and said okay.

got on the boat, Qin Shiou accompanied Winnie around, and Afif prepared wine on the deck and invited Qin Shiou to chat.

During the chat, Qin Shiou learned that Afif also came to buy a boat, but he bought an F1 high-speed motorboat, he is an enthusiast of the F1 motorboat competition, has a motorboat team under his command, and even won the gold cup of the competition.

Although from the outside, Afif is very proud, but in fact, when it comes to talking, this person is very easy to deal with, polite in speech and manners, and can always show respect for people, extraordinary bearing, worthy of the elite descendants created by the local tyrant family.

After chatting for a while, Qin Shiou saw that Winnie was having a good time, so he thanked Afif and said goodbye, they hadn't visited this exhibition yet.
