Chapter 68: Winning and tipping
While speaking, Yun Haoyang and the others followed He Li and walked into the dock.
Just now, I was blocked by those buildings outside, but now I walked into the dock, Yun Haoyang looked at it, and couldn't help but take a slight breath, there were hundreds of cruise ships of all sizes docked on the pier. The position of the cruise ship is arranged from small to large, the smaller ones are docked at the edge of the pier, and the farthest ones are super cruise ships up to two or three hundred meters long, even if they are still far away from the coastline, they can't help but make Yun Haoyang a little shocked. Among them is a huge ship, which is even more conspicuous, and is one size larger than the largest cruise ships.
"It's really lively!" Yun Haoyang couldn't help but smile as he watched many people with the flag of the tour group walk past and head towards the dinghy docked on the shore.
Listening to Yun Haoyang's words, He Li couldn't help but slow down slightly and smiled: "These are tourists from all over the world, many of them are from the mainland, and they usually come to Hong Kong to play on a gambling boat..."
Listening to He Li's explanation, Yun Haoyang couldn't help but slowly understand that it turned out that half of these ships docked at the pier, in addition to private luxury cruise ships, were gambling ships in Hong Kong, which would solicit customers here every day and then sail into the open sea. These gambling ships are divided into several grades, the medium-sized ones can generally carry a few hundred people, and the largest cruise ship can be comparable to the Titanic, which can carry thousands of people.
In order to attract business, the ticket price of these cruise ships is generally not very expensive, the medium-sized one can stay on board for one night for 150 Hong Kong dollars, and also includes dinner, supper and breakfast three meals, while two people give a standard room, two beds, and a separate bathroom and TV, and it is also very clean.
This price in Hong Kong is actually very loss-making, because if this is also a configuration of three meals, the price on the shore will be at least 100 yuan, but the gambling boat is to attract people to go up and gamble for money, which can be said to be upside down.
But there are a few large luxury cruise ships, the price is much more, in that kind of gambling ship, it can really be described as a paradise on earth, Chinese and Western restaurants, entertainment venues, karaoke nightclubs, saunas, massage rooms, beauty centers, duty-free shops, etc., everything, as long as you have money, you can live a drunken life on it.
It's just that the national flags on these ships are colorful, and they are available from all countries, and the only ones that are not there are Hong Kong and the Chinese flags. Yun Haoyang understands that ships sailing on the high seas must and are only allowed to fly the flag of one country. The act of a ship on the high seas is also governed by the laws of the country in which it is flagged.
While talking, several people walked to the middle of the dock and stopped, He Li jumped on a private yacht only two or three meters away from the coast with agility, and then several people also hurriedly followed the yacht.
Among them, the two fashionably dressed beauties, because the clothes they wore were a little tight, they were quite restrained and inconvenient when they got on the yacht, which made Yun Haoyang feel a little funny in his heart.
After everyone had come up, some of the crew untied the ropes attached to the dock and sailed the yacht away from the dock. From a distance, these luxury cruise ships may not seem big, but as the yacht moves closer to them, it is really impressive.
Not long after, the yacht approached a giant cruise ship, and at this moment, Yun Haoyang, who looked up slightly, could only see the hull above the waterline, as for the hull was completely covered by the hull, looking at the hull height above the waterline, I am afraid that it is also sixty or seventy meters, you know, this is close to a thirty-story high-rise building, imagine what it would be like to stand under a thirty-story building and look up?
Compared with this giant ship, He Li's yacht is more like a small sampan, floating in the sea, and it is estimated that the waves caused by the acceleration of the giant ship can overturn the yacht.
"This cruise ship is the Avgiya Bibo!" He Li, who also looked up at it, couldn't help but have an inexplicable color flashing in his eyes and slowly spoke: "The Avgiya Bibo is 925 meters long, 106 meters wide, 66 meters above the waterline, 720,000 tons of tonnage, and 46 nautical miles! Swimming pools, golf courses, bars, restaurants, etc., as well as more than 2,000 luxury double cabins and dozens of VIP cabins, all equipped with private gyms and small balconies. Even in the world, the Avgia is one of the top ultra-luxury mega cruise ships. ”
As they approached the Avgiya Bibo, the crew on top of the yacht began to carefully extend the sucking wall bulkhead, keeping the two disproportionately sized vessels at a distance. You know, if you get too close, the Avgiya Bibo only needs to shake its body a little, and it may be able to crush the small yacht to pieces.
He Li had already said hello in advance, and after the yacht was stable, a lift was put down on the hull of the giant ship, and when the elevator fell to a height parallel to the yacht, an alloy deck more than one meter wide was deep from above, which happened to dock with the yacht.
The elevator could only take five people at a time, and He Li beckoned the two beauties and their companions and one other person to go up first, while he and Yun Haoyang and the other two young people waited for the next batch.
Not long after, the four of Yun Haoyang, who took the second trip, came to the deck of the cruise ship, and looking down from here, the yacht below was really similar to the sampan.
"Haoyang, I'm going to see an elder first!That's it, I'll let you go to rest first!" Helplessly glanced at the text message on his phone, and then He Li looked at Yun Haoyang with a slightly apologetic smile.
Yun Haoyang, who was stunned when he heard this, couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay! Brother Li, you're welcome!"
"That's okay!" Seeing this, He Li, who nodded and smiled slightly, patted Yun Haoyang's shoulder, and turned to one of the two young men who followed beside him, who was slightly shorter and slightly fat, with a pale face and a kind smile: "Liu Xi, help me take Haoyang to rest! Haoyang is my good buddy, Yanjing is here, don't slack off!"
Hearing this, Liu Xi, a slightly chubby young man, couldn't help but smile busily: "Brother Li, don't worry!"
"Hmm!" He Li, who nodded slightly, turned to pat Yun Haoyang's shoulder again with a smile, and then left with another young man. As for the previous five people, after He Li and others came up, they talked to He Li and left. They all happened to meet He Li together, so they came together.
Liu Xi, who watched He Li leave with a smile, couldn't help but smile enthusiastically at Yun Haoyang: "Yun Shao, please come with me!"
Yun Haoyang, who nodded slightly, smiled lightly and walked towards the cabin with Liu Xi.
After entering the cabin, Liu Xi soon took Yun Haoyang into an elevator. Inside the elevator, Yun Haoyang couldn't help but glance at the floor buttons, only to see that there were six numbers from one to six in the buttons, and there were negative one, two, and three below, which means that in addition to the six floors above the deck, there should be three floors below, which shows how big this cruise ship is.
The room that Liu Xi arranged for Yun Haoyang to rest was on the fifth floor, and there were only twenty-three rooms in total on this floor, almost all of which were sunny, not only to enjoy the sea view, but also to have a panoramic view of the entire giant ship. It is not easy to live here, this is the result of He Li's early arrangement.
For example, Liu Xi only lives on the third floor!
"Yun Shao, you can rest first! If you have anything, you can call me directly!" Liu Xi, who said with a smile, directly handed Yun Haoyang a delicately made business card.
Yun Haoyang, who smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to take it, couldn't help but nod slightly: "Okay, thank you!"
"Yun Shao is polite! You are Brother Li's distinguished guest, so naturally you can't slack off! If you need anything, you can just say it, and I will arrange someone to answer the phone call in this room at any time!" Liu Xi said with a smile, and then said goodbye and left.
Seeing Liu Xi leave, he turned his head and looked down at the information on the business card, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and said with a light smile: "Manager, this thing title is about to overflow!"
While speaking, Yun Haoyang walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and at the same time saw a phone on the table next to the sofa, ringing what Liu Xi said before, Yun Haoyang couldn't help but shake his head slightly and smiled inexplicably: "You really treat Young Master Ben as a master?"
Yun Haoyang, who turned to look at the room, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, this room is a living room alone, at least fifty or sixty square meters, and near the balcony, there is also a one-hole golf practice area, which can be described as very luxurious. After walking to the balcony, Yun Haoyang found that the giant ship had begun to move slowly, but he felt that it was no different from the flat ground, it was very stable, if it weren't for the reference, it almost made people think that the cruise ship was stationary.
