Chapter 384: Yachts

There is a small signal base station on the hill to the east of the villa, but the coverage is not large, and there is no problem with making calls around the villa. If you go online, the internet speed is very slow.

The villa has fibre optics.

The main fiber optic cable of the entire resort is a 100-kilometer heavy armored single-mode submarine fiber optic cable (144 cores).

In the case of Fulanga Island, this fiber optic cable was connected by Zhou Sheng and his own money, and the length of the 144-core fiber optic cable paid for by himself reached 100 kilometers, and it cost 1.3 million Fijian yuan to calculate the laying cost.

There are also two small islanders on the island, as well as a second village on the north side of the lagoon that has been relocated, and luxury villas are being built, and they have also taken the lead, and by the way, they have shared some of it. Zhou Sheng: They only spent 850,000.

Then there is the internet facilities for the entire resort, which cost a total of 1.35 million Fijian dollars.

This is also the reason why submarine fiber optic cables are being laid on the Lao Islands, and it is more convenient to connect fiber optic cables.

If you want to connect to the network in normal times, you have to lay a separate fiber optic cable, which is at least 300 kilometers long.

In the afternoon, Zhou Sheng helped Chen Yuan connect to the solar energy on the roof and installed a few large-capacity lithium batteries. In this way, the villa will not have the problem of lack of electricity.

Baisha Island is relatively large, and a well has been drilled behind the villa, so there is no shortage of water here.

The problem was solved, the pump was installed in the well, and the pool was cleaned up, and the sun set.

Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng drove back to Happy Island on the boat, and Chen Xin and they were cooking dinner.

"Taro roast chicken, your own chicken?" Chen Yuan smelled the fragrance of the kitchen and asked.

"We have our own small farm with some chickens and sheep. Authentic free-range chicken, have you tasted it? Chen Xin took a chicken leg for Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan took the chicken leg funny, it was very hot, but the meat was really tender: "It tastes good." ”

"And if there are any chicken legs, give me a taste." Zhou Sheng washed his hands and walked in.

"It's embarrassing for such a big person to eat chicken legs. There is also a chicken leg for his younger siblings......" Chen Xin said, putting another chicken leg in a bowl and handing it to Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't want it." ”

"When you come here, it's like your own home, especially when you eat, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng won't be polite to us." Chen Xin said with a smile.

Chen Yuan went to the living room with chicken legs and waited for the meal to start.

In the evening there is a roast chicken with taro and a tomato egg soup.

"There aren't many lobsters here." Chen Long said, "I'm going to catch lobsters tomorrow." ”

"There are a lot of lobsters, but it depends on the weather. Tomorrow, if the wind is light, I'll take you to catch lobsters. "Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Hui gently lifted Chen Long's foot, coming here is for work, not exclusive.

The infrastructure of the barrier reef resort is up, but there is still a lot more to do to open it. Personnel recruitment, training, finalizing material purchase orders and finding a reliable supplier, resort reception, etc.

"The location of the barrier reef resort is so remote, how do tourists get there?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Send a boat to pick you up. Or you can fly to Lakenba Island on your own. There are regular flights ...... Lakenba Island," Zhou Sheng said.

Picking up tourists from Nadi, more than 500 kilometers.

More than 500 kilometers, about 290 nautical miles. It's not realistic to pick up and drop off by sailboat, it's taken too long.

The speed of the sailboat, even with mechanical power assist, is not fast. In addition, the sailboat that picks up and drops off the yacht cannot choose a sports sailboat, but only a catamaran.

Catamaran sailing with mechanical assistance, the fastest ...... It is estimated that it is 15-17 verses. And a bigger sailboat......

At sea, the catamaran is relatively stable, but when the waves come, there will still be shaking. If you don't have people who rarely go to sea, you will get seasick if you run nearly 300 nautical miles on a catamaran.

Using a motor yacht to pick up people, 290 nautical miles, slow speed takes more than ten hours. Fast speed, high fuel consumption. Moreover, the motor yacht is running on the sea, and it is easy to get seasick after a long time.

Pick-up and drop-off to the island, most likely only in Suva to get on the boat.

Then there is the pick-up and drop-off of tourists from Lakenba, if you choose to pick up the boat pick-up, the route is about 60-65 nautical miles.

"A boat to pick up tourists, ready to use a sailboat?" Chen Yuan said.

"A catamaran." Zhou Sheng said: "The cost of sailing is cheap......"

Chen Yuan said 'um': "How big a sailboat are you going to buy." ”

"I originally wanted to buy a Catamaran Excess11 (Chinese: beyond), 11.33 meters in length and 6.58 meters in width, that boat is cheap, four million. If you can find a second-hand ship, it is estimated that it will be in the early two millions. Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said: "If you support me a little, then I will consider buying a TAITI80 (Chinese name: Fontainebleau), with a length of 23.74 meters and a width: 10.49m." ”

"What did the boss do to support you?" Chen Xin asked.

"Baisha Island, we don't want money, the boss has to give. Otherwise, he wouldn't want the island. Zhou Sheng smiled cheaply.

Chen Xin looked at Chen Yuan......

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded: "There are still a lot of places where you have to spend money to open a resort, and I like that Baisha Island a lot." How much does a 23.74-meter catamaran in Fontainebleau cost? ”

"TAITI80, belonging to the TAITI. series of sailing ships...... is also a Danfeng Bailu daily charter ship......

This is a series, 80 belong to the series buy better models. One of the features of this series of sailboats is its simple structure and the absence of an inner cabin. This series of sailboats has high safety, simple operation and very stylish hull design, which is used by many star hotels, vacation clubs and rate operators in the world.

Chen Yuan searched it out and took a look, 23.74 meters in length, 10.49 meters in width, and the price of a boat was about 1.7 million US dollars.

A catamaran, with a large area, is basically a matter of length multiplied by width. There are no cabins, and they are shaded with soft roofs...... The deck area is at least 200 square meters, which is spacious enough to have a party on board.

"It's okay." Chen Yuan said.

Chen Xin probed over and took a look.

She had discussed with Zhou Sheng about buying boats before, and the two of them had many options for which boats to buy. If there is enough money, this boat can be said to be the first choice.

Not only can it be used to pick up and drop off tourists, but it is also a platform for parties on the sea.

It's their barrier reef resort, and there are no tourists coming. The resort is too remote, and it is especially troublesome to come over.

"Brother, do you buy a yacht?" Chen Xin asked.

Chen Long, Zhou Hui, and Xu Xin all looked at it.

"Buy." Chen Yuan said: "There is no recommendation." ”

"The Riva yacht is nice and has a retro look. There are also yachts from the Bluegame series, which are very handsome. Chen Xin said.

With Chen Yuan's net worth, as long as it is not a superyacht, buy a few to play and sprinkle water.

On fishing vessels, the Internet is occasionally opened for crew members to surf the Internet for leisure. Chen Yuan likes to watch yachts without much to do......

He still has a dream of being an island owner in his heart, and if he buys a small island, a yacht must be indispensable. Riva Yachts is so famous, and Chen Yuan also knows that Bluegame is a new brand from the Chinese yacht builder Sanlorenzo.
