June.

The private jet they purchased has arrived, the model is the latest fantasy ACJ-320neo manufactured by the company, the fuselage is made of carbon fiber composite structure, and it can carry up to 8 passengers inside, and can fly continuously in the air for 15 hours, with a maximum range of 12,500 kilometers.

The cabin is decorated with high-end luxury, plus some optional custom accessories, as well as the cost of hiring pilots, flight attendants, etc.

The total cost reached 382 million star knives.

However, this amount of money is just a small meaning for Levi, and it is easy to pay the bill by card.

What Livi is more concerned about is the progress of Bai Chufei's purchase of a luxury cruise ship.

Some time ago, Bai Chufei called and said: "President, if you find a shipyard to place an order for manufacturing, it will take more than three years for the cruise ship to be completed and launched, and it will take about half a year for the navigation test, and it will take about four or five years before it can be officially used...... The wait is too long. ”

"If you're in a hurry to use it, why don't you buy second-hand stock! Find a cruise line and spend money directly on a second-hand ocean cruise. ”

"Okay! Then buy a second-hand cruise ship. ”

Livi nodded and agreed with Bai Chufei to set his eyes on various cruise companies.

And then after some time.

Bai Chufei called again, saying that there were signs of something, there was a carnival cruise company in the Split Kingdom, due to the economic downturn this year, the business declined, so the company's eight "princess" series cruise ships, as long as anyone bids high enough, the eight "princesses", whatever one can buy.

In order to facilitate Livi's selection, Bai Chufei specially sent a thick album over, detailing the situation of the eight cruise ships with pictures and texts.

They are:

Coral Princess

Island Princess

Emerald Princess

Diamond Princess

Sapphire Princess

Crown Princess

Starry Sky Princess

Caribbean Princess

As long as you have enough money, you can buy any one, and even if you don't think one is enough, you can buy two or three.

Li Wei carefully flipped through the album in his hand, compared it carefully, and even asked Ji Yumo to come over to help refer to it, and after two days of struggle, he finally determined the purchase goal-

Starry Sky Princess

There are two main reasons to buy it.

First, it is large in size, with a displacement of up to 143,700 tons, with 1,830 guest rooms, which can accommodate up to 3,660 passengers, and a tailor-made Star Suite, located in the middle of the top deck of the Star Princess, occupying the best C position of the entire ship. The suite features a 65-square-metre private balcony, the largest of any Princess cruise.

In addition, Star Princess has a number of swimming pools, including a viewing pool at the stern, two deep pools on the top deck, a private pool for relaxation, and several Jacuzzi pools added to other Imperial cruise ships, including two Jacuzzi pools suspended above the deep pools.

Moreover, the amusement salon on the Star Princess has been upgraded, with more spacious space, more modern design, full of scientific and technological elements, and outdoor movie screening halls, indoor cafes, gyms, and other facilities.

In short, for Levi, even if this cruise ship is not even as big as the smallest starship he has ever ridden, it is completely enough to serve him alone.

Second, the new condition, the Star Princess was built in 2018 and put into use in October of the following year, and it has only been in use for 3 years, which is definitely ninety percent new for a luxury cruise ship with a service life of 30-50 years.

For people who like the new and don't like the old character, if you want to buy it, of course, you have to buy something new.

As for the price, Livi asked Bai Chufei how much money can be bought, and the reply of the carnival company made Bai Chufei startled: 2 billion star knives.

As long as you take out 2 billion star knives, this luxury cruise ship will be able to leave immediately.

Bai Chufei was in a hurry at the time, don't think that he doesn't understand the market of luxury cruise ships, the cost of ordinary giant luxury cruise ships is generally about 8 to 1.2 billion star knives, even if it is the world's largest ocean oasis, the cost is only about 1.4 billion star knives.

No matter how exaggerated the Starry Sky Princess is, the cost will not be more than 1.4 billion, and the good guy dares to sell 2 billion as soon as he opens his mouth, or second-hand goods, this is simply a lion's mouth!

The carnival company also explained, saying that the cost of the Star Princess is indeed only more than one billion, but this is only the price of the "hull", follow-up decoration, the installation of a large number of high-tech equipment, and the training of personnel...... It costs money in all aspects, and selling two billion star knives is really the cost price.

Called to ask for Levi's opinion, Levi felt that two billion star knives, buying a guy bigger than an aircraft carrier, it didn't seem to be very expensive, if the carnival company could deliver it immediately, then it would be a deal.

"No, President! Those guys must have investigated the buyer's information and knew that you were the one who wanted to buy the boat, so they deliberately raised the price and wanted to kill you! Not to mention two billion, I think twelve or three billion, you can buy almost the same cruise ship! President, you wait, I'll go and see a few more cruise companies, they have been in a recession for the past few years, as long as you want to buy, you will definitely be able to buy the right price, I have to shop around. ”

Bai Chufei didn't want to be the wronged boss, although it wasn't his money that was spent, but since he was helping the chairman do things, he had to do it beautifully.

So it took him more than two months, visiting four or five cruise companies, and finally negotiated a suitable price with a company.

At this time, the carnival company couldn't sit still, and sent someone to invite Bai Chufei back, and took the initiative to reduce the price, saying that as long as 1.7 billion star knives, the Starry Sky Princess could be bought.

Bai Chufei was still too expensive, and at this time, Livi patted the board, and said on the phone that it was 1.6 billion, and if the carnival company did not agree, then go and buy a certain cruise ship with a price tag of 1.45 billion from another company.

"Okay, deal!"

The executives of the carnival company, gritting their teeth, agreed to the offer of 1.6 billion.

Bai Chufei's cruise ship purchase task was completed.

June 18th.

Bai Chufei told Levi on the phone that the Starry Sky Princess had set sail and arrived in Tianhai City in about 45 days, and at that time, Levi could go to the port to welcome his return, and Bai Chufei would introduce him to the cruise ship.

"Yes, you can."

Li Wei nodded, feeling that Bai Chufei was really dedicated and satisfied.

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Everything went very smoothly.

On July 18th.
