Chapter 194: A 100-meter-long luxury yacht

It is worthy of being a long-term jewelry maker, and when Xinyu saw this thing, she couldn't help but let out an "ah", and involuntarily got off the bed and picked up these things to look at them carefully

"What is it that has South American jewels and ancient Roman silver? Where did you find it? ”

Wang Chao didn't hide it, so he told Xinyu about his discovery on the bottom of the sea last night.

"What? Found in this area? And there are also signs of a complete shipwreck? When Xinyu heard this, her eyes suddenly widened

"Yes, so I think our honeymoon trip is going to turn into a treasure hunt, what do you think? Are we going to dig out or are we going to provide clues for the local government to dig out? ”

"Such a big thing, I'm afraid we can't do it, I think it's better to leave it to the local government to deal with" Xinyu hesitated

"Give it to them? Do you think that's a good idea? ”

"After all, this was found in someone's place, in case it is exposed, it is easy to cause unnecessary disputes, and we don't have the equipment to salvage, even if it is salvaged, there is no way to take it away."

"I'm not afraid of disputes then, but you're right, it's really troublesome to salvage by yourself, let me think about it again"

Wang Chao pondered for a while and said, "How about if we buy a boat and go salvage it ourselves?" ”

"It's fine, but we don't have that much money with us, and even if we have a boat, I'm afraid we can't do it."

"It's a matter of people, money is not a problem, since I can find it, I will definitely be able to salvage it"

Looking at Wang Chao's confident appearance, Xinyu was also moved, "It's okay, even if we can't succeed, we can be regarded as opening our eyes"

"Okay, don't think about failure before you do it. Get up, let's go buy a boat today."

"Buying a boat? I don't want that kind of clumsy boat. I want a yacht, a luxury yacht."

"Yachts? Oh, that's a great idea."

……

After the two of them finished breakfast, they asked the hotel waiter where there were local yachts for rent or sale, and the waiter seemed to be surprised by this, and took out a business card from the front desk and handed it to them

"Go to the Frans yacht company, they rent and sell, and they are the same owner as our hotel, run by the old Mr. France, with business cards. I'm going to give you a discount."

The two thanked the waiter and went out to take a taxi straight to the Frans yacht company

In the Maldives, many wealthy people who come here have the habit of renting yachts in the local area, and it is also a pleasure to drive the yacht with three or two friends in this blue, clear sea.

It's a pity that most of the people from the mainland who come here for tourism and vacation are young people who travel and get married. It is rare to be able to lease a yacht, let alone buy it, so when Wang Chao and the others walked into the Frans Yacht Company, they said that they wanted to buy a yacht. The front desk lady's mouth suddenly turned into an "O" shape

"Sir, ma'am, are you sure you want to buy a yacht instead of chartering it?" It didn't seem to believe his ears, and he couldn't help but ask again, to know about chartering a yacht. The average 20-foot yacht costs $2,500 per day, while buying a yacht of this size costs almost $200,000. It's really not something that an ordinary tourist who comes here can afford.

"That's right, and we want to buy a yacht of a larger size, at least able to withstand strong winds above level 6 at sea, and able to drive back to our mainland"

"Then you two wait a minute, I ask our manager to come out and talk to you" said the service lady let the two of them to the lounge, brought two cups of steaming coffee, and then turned around and trotted away: I can't be calm, you know, such a big business, even if it is not directly negotiated by her, there will be a commission of more than 2,000 US dollars.

The two of them tasted the coffee in the cup and couldn't help but secretly admire: it is worthy of the Maldives, and even the coffee here is much better than the instant coffee in the bird's nest in China.

Suddenly, I heard a noise outside, and saw a few young people outside the courtyard sitting in wheelchairs and talking about something, Wang Chao looked at it, and it really reflected the sentence: It's not that the enemies don't get together, it's the young people who were beaten by themselves when they danced yesterday, I don't know why they quarreled, and after a while, a few more people came and pushed those people away.

"Ah, dear sir and madam, welcome to Frans Yachts, my name is Blake, is there anything I need to do?" The door was pulled open, and a mild-mannered young man in his thirties walked in.

The two sides shook hands, Wang Chao handed the hotel business card to the Blake, "Hello Mr. Black, we want to buy a yacht, I heard that your France company is the largest yacht company in the Maldives, I don't know if there is a yacht for sale this business, and I live in your hotel, I heard them say, I take the hotel business card, whether it is leasing or buying, you can enjoy discounts, I don't know if it's so?" "I didn't say anything polite to this person named Blake, Wang Chao directly said the request

"Yes, yes, as long as you stay in our hotel, come to us to rent and sell yachts, they are all discounted, do you lease or buy?"

"Buy? And I've already told your front desk lady that we're going to buy a big yacht, well, the kind of intercontinental yacht that can fly from the Maldives to the Asian continent."

Hearing this, the Blake blinked, and asked with some hesitation, "Mr. Wang, are you sure you want to buy such a large yacht?" You should know that this kind of yacht is generally based on your requirements and is ordered in advance."

"You don't need that kind of super large, as long as you can cross the Indian Ocean and return to Chinese mainland" said Wang Chao hugged his heart, "My wife wants to return to China by yacht"

"Oh, well, ma'am, you know how to enjoy yourself. Mr. Wang's kind of yacht needs to be at least 80 feet or more, and it also needs to have mature seafarers."

"Yes, that size is fine, so do you have a ready-made one here?"

"I don't have that big here, and it will take a week or so to pull it for you at the earliest. However, I have a client here who has entrusted us with the sale of a yacht, which is a little bigger, but I promise that it hasn't sailed many nautical miles, and it is the same as new, if you don't mind buying a second-hand one, I can show you there."

Wang Chao and the two looked at each other, nodded in agreement, let's go and have a look first. The sooner something under the sea is discovered, the better

Blake got up and accompanied Wang Chao and the others to the back warehouse

It can also be seen that the strength of the boss of the Frans company, in an archipelago country like the Maldives, can be described as an inch of land, with an average of more than 1,000 people per square kilometer, which shows the large population density, and in the case of less land resources per capita, France still uses this kind of warehouse of more than 1,000 square meters, which shows its strength.

Wait for the warehouse door to be opened. Xinyu was immediately attracted by the luxury yacht in front of him, by the light outside, this light blue yacht is 100 meters long, about 20 meters wide, the bottom of the yacht is not eroded by the sea, from the bottom to the side of the ship, it is 7 meters high, both of them are not usually able to see the yacht, but they are also fascinated by this ship

"Mr. Wang. Madam, what do you think of this ship? The ship, produced by the Greek shipyard, has sailed no more than 1,000 nautical miles since its launch the year before. Its owner had little time to use it, it was very well maintained, loaded with fresh water and food, and could travel almost the globe"

Wang Chao was noncommittal. "Can you take us up and have a look?"

Blake said it was fine, then walked to a nearby elevator and boarded the three-story luxury yacht directly

The deck was almost spotless. Hinges, small lifting gear, lifeboats, etc. are all shining.

"Mr. Wang, this yacht has three floors above the deck, two floors below the deck, a total of five floors, a total of five independent bedrooms, a coffee bar, a ballroom, two crew lounges, two storage rooms, a space of 300 square meters, almost to meet the needs of your life, full of fuel can sail 5,000 nautical miles at a time, almost across the Pacific Ocean, back to your country can go back and forth, and you see how charming the length, width and height ratio of this yacht is, The yacht was originally designed to withstand the strong winds of force 8 at sea, and it was equipped with a 25,000 hp Cummins engine that can reach a maximum speed of 50 knots."

After shopping, Xinyu and Wang Chao communicated with each other, and the two of them were very satisfied with the boat, especially this lifting device, which is not equipped on every yacht, if you buy a new one, you don't know when you will have to wait until you install a lifting device.

But even so, Wang Chao not only did not show a favorite expression, but frowned, and Blake saw that he didn't know what the reason was, and said cautiously, "Mr. Wang, I don't know if this ship can be satisfied?" Actually, this one is almost the same as new, and if I hadn't told me in advance, I'm afraid you'd have thought it was a new yacht," Blake said softly,

"In addition, I might as well reveal to you that the owner of this yacht is a wealthy businessman in your country, Hong Kong, and his company has recently faced some problems, so it is in urgent need of funds, and the price is relatively low, half lower than that of a normal new yacht."

The reason why Wang Chao showed this expression is mainly because he does not want to be slaughtered, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to reduce the price, you must know that with the increasing number of domestic tourists traveling abroad in recent years, many countries have slaughtered Chinese as fat sheep, and even sometimes the price is higher than that of Western countries, and many people who travel abroad have had this kind of experience of being wronged.

I didn't expect the other party to say that it could be lowered so much, and I was secretly happy in my heart, but I said, "Mr. Black, what is your lowest price for this yacht?" The yacht is really good, but unfortunately it's a little too big, and I'm a little hesitant."

"$36 million, Mr. Wang, this is almost half the price of a new yacht, you see that the facilities on it are very complete, if it weren't for the funds, the other party might not have sold it."

"What? So expensive? Xinyu asked with a pretended to be surprised

"Madam, this is already the lowest price, no matter how low it is, we won't sell it"

"Then forget it, let's just buy a small yacht, don't spend so much money to buy this old boat" said Xinyu took the lead in walking towards the elevator, about to get off the boat, Wang Chao shrugged at him, and also walked in

"Mrs., Mr. Wang, don't be in a hurry to leave, otherwise, I'll give you another discount, how about 35 million US dollars?"

Wang Chao and the two shook their heads almost at the same time

Blake was a little anxious, and finally gritted his teeth, "33 million US dollars, this is my bottom limit, if you don't want it, then you can only buy a boat"

Wang Chao looked at Xinyu, and the other party nodded slightly, so Wang Chao walked out of the elevator again, "Mr. Black, I see that you are also a very sincere gentleman, and I also like your straightforward character, but in our country, 33 is not an auspicious number, or 32 million US dollars, I can go back with you immediately to go through the procedures, what do you think?" ”

Blake was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly, "Okay Mr. Wang, I admit to being moved by your frankness and sincerity, let's go, please come to my office"

On the way back to Black's office, Wang Chao was asked whether he needed to recruit sailors locally and when he would set sail

"Sailors I don't have ready-made ones, just ask you to help me recruit a few, as for sailing, the sooner the better, of course, not to go back to China immediately, but I am going to go around our Maldives Islands, otherwise our honeymoon trip is only on this small island, it will be very boring, and remember to help us purchase a few sets of diving equipment, I want the best, we are ready to dive"

"It turns out that Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang is here for a honeymoon trip, congratulations. No problem, I'm a gift to you."

Saying that, when he came to the office, Wang Chao learned that this Blake turned out to be the general manager of the Frans Yacht Company on this island, unless he bought a yacht, he rarely showed up when he only rented a yacht

After the formalities were completed, Blake said that the ship would hardly need any maintenance, and it would be launched directly after the crew was recruited, and he estimated that it would be done in three days at most, Wang Chao nodded in agreement.

When sending Wang Chao out and preparing to send someone to drive them back to the hotel, he suddenly saw a few young people in wheelchairs who had their hands and feet broken by Wang Chao outside the gate, gathered there and muttered.

"Hey, Bond, why aren't you guys leaving?" Blake saw them, asked a little angrily, and then said to Wang Chao, "These are the crew of the original yacht, they have been here for a long time, the yacht has not been sold, they don't want to leave, they originally wanted to wait for the yacht to be sold to follow the new boss, although they knew that they were discounted yesterday, and no one is willing to hire them now."

Oh, I see, Wang Chao nodded, and was about to get into Blake's Mercedes-Benz car

At this time, those people also found Wang Chao and the others, one of them was shaking a wheelchair and pounced on Wang Chao, seemingly preparing to find a place

When Wang Chao saw it, he retracted his leg to get into the car and looked at the man with a sneer

"Bond, what are you going to do?" Blake saw it and hurriedly stood in front of Wang Chao (to be continued......)
