Chapter 159: Someone Wants to See You
It's the end of the month, brothers with tickets, push the half-immortal, half-immortal thank you!
Buying a yacht?
Buying a yacht in the U.S. is actually a very common thing. The number of yachts in the United States is about 17 million, and the average 16 people own one, and the average price is more than 50,000 dollars. However, yachts in the United States are luxury goods subject to a special excise tax of 10 percent on yachts.
In fact, it is not impossible to buy a yacht, of course, Zhen Fan also wants to sunbathe, fish and even hold a party on the sea. Of course, the yacht has to be big enough, preferably a superyacht of more than 100 feet. It's not like most Americans have a kayak that can be filled with gadgets.
Buying this thing, as Julia said, is best seen at a boat show, that's the best place, like the International Boat Show in Miami. There will be a collection of yacht suppliers from all over Shijie, and the room for choice is relatively large, anyway, there is no hurry, and there will be continuous exhibitions after March.
In the evening, Zhen Fan was idle and had nothing to do, so he called Christine.
"I'm Sibella, wait, Christine will be over to answer the phone right away." It was Sibella who answered the phone, and after a while, Christine's voice was heard.
"Hi Zhen, it's me, Christine." Christine's voice was a little lazy, "It's so late, it's definitely not because you miss me, you haven't called for a long time, I remember!" ”
"It's only been a day, I beat you the day before yesterday, are you old? Or is it memory loss? Zhen Fan grinned, "I'm like telling you." I miss you! ”
"Me too!" Christine smiled, then in a questioning tone, "Is it because of this call?" 🤔 Can I smell a hint of intrigue on the phone? ”
"You're thinking too much. Of course, the main thing is to think about you! ”
"Ha, I know, say, there is something other than thinking about me!" Christine looked very proud, after exposing Zhen Fan's little tricks, a typical little girl's heart.
"That's right. I'm planning to buy a yacht and want to hear your opinion! Zhen Fan still decided to say it honestly, and it was all exposed. No matter how hypocritical she is, Christine will definitely go berserk.
"Ha, I knew I liked it. I bought a small yacht. But now it's better to get a bigger, more comfortable, more than sixty feet. Christine was as interested as a woman talking about a luxury handbag or a dress.
"Looks like I'm asking the right question." Zhen Fan smiled, "I plan to buy a boat of about 100 feet, but I don't know how to choose, maybe you will be a more haode guide." ”
"Of course. But Zhen, how much money do you plan to spend on a yacht of about 100 feet? I need to know the budget. in order to give you a suitable recommendation. Christine smiled, "If I'm not miscalculated, this kind of super cruise ship you mentioned, including taxes and berthing costs, is at least five million dollars ready!" ”
"What?" Zhen Fan was taken aback.
"Oh no, Zhen, I knew you'd be surprised, if it was the way you envisioned, this would be a more economical yacht price, you know you want a superyacht, not that small toy." As soon as Christine heard this, she knew that Zhen Fan was surprised, "This doesn't even count the captain you invited, of course you can apply for a driver's license for a private yacht by yourself." ”
"Okay, this is really ......" Zhen Fan was a little speechless, "I don't even know what to say." ”
"But I still suggest that since you buy a 100-foot superyacht, you will definitely go further afield, so having a senior captain on it will be of great help to you, and he will help you avoid many dangerous things in the sea, such as staying away from storms!" Christine is still babbling.
"Forget it, Christine, I think...... A little longer! Zhen Fan swallowed with difficulty. It seems that he is still some distance from those rich people, thinking that the idea of buying vineyards proposed by Sampson has begun to come alive, yes, if you want to live a better life, live a little more freely, it is not enough to buy an Escalade.
Aside from the idea of buying a yacht, Zhen Fan just wanted to sleep, when he suddenly received a call from Sarah. Since this woman joined the FBI, she has rarely contacted Zhen Fan on the phone, a typical symptom of workaholism.
"Hi Sarah, it's been a long time since I've heard you, how are you doing?" Zhen Fan smiled, "Our super detective FBI agent Sarah? Vog, is it because you miss me? ”
"Oh, how you feel...... I don't even know what to say! Sarah's tone was helpless, she was used to Zhen Fan's almost rogue greetings.
"Then don't say it, it's definitely not what I want to hear!"
"No, maybe you'll be a little interested, definitely not a case, you know, I'm the FBI now!" Zhen Fan heard Sarah's laughter, "It's about the previous case." ”
"Please, you already said just now, it's definitely not a matter of the case, do you want to regret it?" Zhen Fan immediately refused, "I won't give you a chance, if you want to talk about the case, I'll hang up, if you want to say 'I love you', I'll keep the phone connected for a night." ”
"I promise it's not a case, it's a person, he wants to see you!" Sarah hurriedly said it, she knew that this guy would hang up the phone, "It's Sam?" Stott. ”
"Who? I don't know this guy. ”
"The guy who killed Sir Heckman, the guy who lives in Silicon Valley, who killed two of my colleagues, Sam? Stout, this bastard got me in the hospital. Speaking of this person, Sarah still has a lot of resentment, and her tone is a little rushed.
"So...... weishenme still has to help him pass the word? Zhen Fan sighed, "I think of this guy, I still remember him vividly, if I can, I really want to beat him." ”
"My boss told me, because I handled this case, so he found me and asked me to tell you through it, and he said it. This is the Zuihou request of Stott, who has been sentenced to death on three counts of first-degree murder, and will be executed by lethal injection tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. Sarah paused. Are you coming over? Of course, you can not come, I hate to kill this bastard right now! ”
"I need time to think about it!" Zhen Fan was stunned, Stott sentenced him to death, which was expected, but he didn't expect the death penalty to be executed so quickly, in general. California's execution process for those sentenced to death can take a long time, years, or even decades, so California is now the state with the largest number of death penalty awaiting execution.
After going to the clinic the next day. Zhen Fan was thinking about this matter, and it was clear that Stott had no necessary reason to see him, especially among the people who were going to be executed.
"Tuk tuk" someone is knocking on the door. The door opened. It's Coens and Alice, father and daughter, who have already made an appointment. Cohens was no longer as restrained as before, but he still maintained a more cautious posture, until Zhen Fan motioned for him to sit down, and he loved Alice to sit down.
"How does it feel?" Zhen Fan squatted down, "Has it hurt a lot these days?" ”
"No, it feels great, compared to before!" Alice smiled at Zhen Fan very obediently, and her face gradually became rosy. It's also a little plumper than before, and it seems that the condition is under control. Her appetite has also improved, which is a welcome change.
"Wait here, I'll give Alice a needle!" Zhen Fan nodded at Kerns.
"Yes, Dr. Zhen!" Cohens stood up respectfully, watching Zhen Fan lead Alice out of the door, a warm current surged in his heart, it seemed that Alice was really saved.
Cohens, who was bored, looked around at Zhen Fan's office, he didn't dare to move around, he just sat and twisted his neck, he also came today to have something very important to say to Zhen Fan.
After forty or fifty minutes, Zhen Fan led Alice in, he was a little sweaty on his forehead, and Alice was too, but it was obvious that her expression was very relaxed, with a smile on her face.
"I will give her some Chinese medicine to assist in treatment. I'll give it to you later. Zhen Fan said to Cohens.
"Thank you very much!" Cohens nodded, "I...... I don't even know what to say! ”
"It's nothing, just remember my words!" Zhen Fan nodded.
Cohens didn't get up immediately, but smiled at Alice, "Baby, go to the waiting room for a while, didn't you say you like Aunt Julia very much?" Go ahead! ”
"Haode, Daddy!" Alice left very obediently, and when she walked to the door, she showed a few white teeth to Zhen Fan, and her eyes narrowed.
"Zaijian, Alice!" Zhen Fan smiled and waved to him, then looked at Kornes with a somewhat serious expression, "I think you might have guessed something, right?" Well, I'll be honest with you, I may have been a little optimistic about Alice's condition. ”
When Kornes wanted to say something that Zhen Fan wanted to control, he suddenly heard Zhen Fan say this, and he was a little stunned, opened his mouth, but did not speak.
"I know you may be surprised, Alice has been doing well for a while, the pain has been greatly reduced, she has been able to eat something, and she must have slept well, but ...... Korns, that's just a temporary control of her condition with acupuncture, and there is still a long way to go if it is really cured. ”
"Is there anything I need to do?" Kornes was obviously a little anxious, he stood up, a little at a loss, he had just begun to see Mei Haode's hope, but now he was drenched in cold water by Zhen Fan.
"I'm going to go back to China in the near future, and if I can find something called 'Shengyu Cao', I think there's a better chance that Alice will be cured." Zhen Fan said thoughtfully.
"Isn't there such a Chinese medicine in the United States?"
"No, there is no one in the United States, even if it is a Chinese medicine store in China, it is estimated that there will be none, because this is my secret recipe!" Zhen Fan smiled, "Don't worry, Cohens, when I leave, I will use Chinese medicine to temporarily suppress the condition, although the pain may be a little greater than acupuncture, but at least it is much better than before." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm getting a little excited!" When Coens saw Zhen Fan smiling, he knew that he would definitely think of a way, and he was a little embarrassed by his impulsive and hurried tone just now.
"Actually, I still have something I want to tell you about today, it's about the gangsters of Temecula!" Cohens sat precariously looking at Zhen Fan. (To be continued......)
