Glancing at my watch, Irene? Lauder walked into the small showroom with Duke and said, "What kind of yacht do you want to order?" ”

"A big yacht, of course."

Duke looked at the exhibition hall, where there were many scale-down models of yachts, and there were not many guests in the exhibition hall, this kind of boat show was not like the kind placed in the dock, this is the world's top shipyard dedicated to the super-rich professional custom exhibition.

Entering a state of vacation, Duke came to New York to stay with his mother for a while, and happened to meet this exhibition, so he simply made an appointment with Erin, who was familiar with the house? Lauder, come and visit, if you meet a good one, you can also place an order by the way.

The small yacht parked on the beach of Malibu could no longer meet his needs to go to sea.

A staff member walked over, and Duke waved his hand to him, indicating that he didn't need his introduction for the time being. Lauder looked around the dozen or so model ships in the exhibition hall.

In the meantime, Irene? Lauder also whispered to Duke about the company, and Duke had done a certain amount of understanding before coming.

The German superyacht builder, called BLOHM+Voss, specializes in building megayachts over 260 feet, first in 1872 and has a history of more than 140 years. Since its founding, Blohm+Voss has delivered nearly 1,000 military vessels and superyachts, including the famous German battleship Bismarck.

"Blohm+Voss has an excellent international reputation for its excellent quality, experience and excellent after-sales service."

A middle-aged man suddenly walked over and said very elegantly, "Each yacht has a unique element and symbolic meaning, each yacht shows the noble status of the owner, and each yacht is a unique artistic treasure." ”

After speaking, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Duke, "Hello, Director Rosenberg, I'm Thomas, the person in charge of this exhibition hall?" Feng? Grozman. ”

"Hello." Duke shook his hand gently.

Grozman then turned to his side. "Hello, Miss Lauder."

The person in charge looked less like a German than an Englishman.

"Director Rosenberg, do you have a promising yacht?"

Stand a little back from Duke. "All of our yachts are individually customized, and each one is unique. ”

Every top yacht builder has a list of potential customers, and Duke has been on the Forbes rich list in recent years. Undoubtedly one of the lists.

Walking around the exhibition hall, Duke walked to the left slightly, here is a model about twenty feet long, the shape is a bit of a sci-fi futuristic, just looking at the appearance, Duke still likes it.

People like him have never been interested in antiques and retros, and relatively advanced things are in line with their appetite.

See Duke stop, Thomas? Feng? Grozman immediately took half a step forward and said in a timely manner. "This is our latest design this year."

"Let's talk about it in detail." Duke said.

You don't have to look at the information, Thomas? Feng? "According to our design, the finished yacht is 548 feet long, 72 feet wide at its widest point, with a total displacement tonnage of 13,000 gt, a maximum power of 20,000 horsepower, and a top speed of 28 knots. ”

With that, he walked over to the model yacht and cooperated with the facilities on the model. "The yacht has a total of two helipads and two hangars; At the stern of the ship is a floating dock for supply ships and other small vessels; There is a submarine underneath the boat, which can dive to a depth of 160 feet to evade attacks. ”

"These are standard features on the yacht." Erin? Lauder seems to be an expert in this. She stood beside Duke and asked, "Anything else?" ”

"The yacht is equipped with the most advanced radar system available, and armor plates and bulletproof glass are installed around the cockpit and master suite."

Thomas? Feng? Grozmann pointed to a nondescript spot on the top floor of the model and said, "We designed a laser shield specifically for the yacht. Once the presence of the CCD image sensor is detected, it will immediately emit a beam of strong light directly into the camera, thereby shielding its shooting ability and protecting the ** on the yacht to the greatest extent. ”

Hearing this function, Duke nodded slightly, for him, this function can be said to be indispensable.

See where Duke intended to move, Thomas? Feng? Grozmann gave a more detailed introduction, and Duke also got to know the yacht more deeply about the appearance of the yacht.

The yacht has a stage, exhibition hall, 3 restaurants, 2 kitchens, aquarium, discotheque, bath, gymnasium with sauna, steam room, 50 rooms, 2 swimming pools, a cinema, and a total of 50 staff members are required to operate.

Of course, such a yacht is also quite expensive, requiring 350 million euros, and the deposit alone will cost 80 million euros.

"Give me a copy of it."

Although he was a little excited, Duke didn't make an immediate decision and took a detailed yacht information and talked to Erin? Lauder walked out of the showroom together.

Before coming here, Duke had already seen some products from other companies, and this yacht from Blohm+Voss in Germany was the most satisfying to him, but the length and cost of the yacht were factors that must be considered.

And the construction time, according to Thomas? Feng? Grozmann said that even at the fastest speed, it would take two years for the yacht to be delivered.

Leaving the Blohm+Voss showroom, Duke and Irene? Rather than going anywhere else, Lauder walked to a nearby resting place, sat down, and discussed the products they had just seen.

"Did you like that?" Erin? Lauder walked back with two cups of coffee, handed Duke one, and sat down across from him, "I think it's pretty good." ”

"Isn't it a little too long?"

The length of more than 500 feet still made Duke a little worried, "Parking will be a very troublesome thing. ”

"The draft is less than twenty feet." Erin? Lauder opened the document, looked at it, and said, "Both Malibu and Santa Monica's deep-water docks can be parked. ”

She suddenly laughed and said in a joking tone, "Is there a problem with the funds?" If you don't have enough liquidity, I can lend you some temporarily, just calculate the bank interest. ”

"I won't be polite to you if I need to." Duke took the information back from Erin and flipped through it, "I can afford this amount of money." ”

Although a large amount of money was thrown into Time Warner's financing and share expansion, Duke's cash flow is quite abundant, and it won't be long before the box office and peripheral share of "Iron Man" will be partially credited, and it is still quite easy to pay a deposit on a yacht.

Not only yachts, but even aircraft Duke is considering a new model.

"This isn't Duke? Rosenberg? ”

Suddenly, a loud and arrogant voice sounded from behind, "I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

The owner of the voice strode over and did not ask Duke and Erin? Lauder's opinion sat down at this table with a big grin.

Looking at this face full of meat, Duke frowned slightly, for Donald? Trump is a man he doesn't like anyway.

"Duke, long time no see." Donald? Trump is very imposing.

With a faint smile, Duke was still the same, "It's been a long time since I've seen him." ”

"When did you come to New York?" Donald? Trump's eyes kept on Duke, "Why don't you give me a notice, I can receive you." ”

"We're not familiar enough yet, are we?" Duke said something less polite in a rather polite tone, "I have relatives and friends in New York, so how can I be received by strangers." ”

Donald? Trump's face shook a few times, and then he said, "Are you going to buy a yacht too?" ”

"That's the plan." Duke said unhurriedly.

"It's not going to be another little thing that's less than fifty feet long, is it?"

Remembering Duke's humble yacht from before, Donald? Mr. Trump was in a better mood, "You don't sell that kind of gadget here." ”

Duke just smiled, but didn't say anything.

With Donald? There is no need for people like Trump to get rich in words.

Donald? Trump didn't want to leave just like that, and said, "You know what, Duke? I just custom built a big 300 foot long one! ”

He suddenly accentuated his tone, "Men, after all, you have to rely on size to speak. ”

That last word, Donald? Trump spoke so loudly that he seemed to be afraid that others would not notice him.

Since he became an adult, Duke has seen the elite of this society, even if they are despicable enough behind their backs, and they are very conscious of their image in public, like Donald? It's the first time I've seen Trump who is so arrogant and likes to talk big.

Even the Silicon Valley madman Larry he met? Ellison, all better than Donald? Trump is a lot inferior.

To describe Donald as uneducated? Some of Trump's words and deeds are simply complimenting him.

"Three hundred feet?" Duke smiled faintly and threw the information in his hand to Donald? In front of Trump, "This is the yacht I'm going to order, if you're interested, you can look into it." ”

See the number representing length on the profile, Donald? Trump's eyebrows twitched.

Duke stood up and took Erin in his arms? Lauder ready to leave, passing by Donald? When Trump was around, he said, "As long as I am here, the Trump Organization's funds will never be allowed to enter the instant sharing!" ”

"You ......" Donald? Trump stood up.

"Goodbye, Donald." Duke left a final message, "I wish you a better and better real estate business." (To be continued.) )
