"Zhao Xin, tell me the truth, what are we going to do?"
In the business class, Liu Sheng looked at Zhao Xin suspiciously.
"Didn't I tell you to look at the yacht?" Zhao Xin glanced at Liu Sheng in surprise, and then asked the beautiful stewardess for a cup of hot tea.
After the stewardess left, Liu Sheng whispered: "Are you looking at it? You said you were buying it on the phone!"
Zhao Xin chuckled: "See first and then buy."
"Hey, I have such a bad temper. You can do it now."
"Why else would I ask you to accompany me? You are also the second officer on an ocean-going freighter, and you know more about ships than I do."
"Well, that's a cargo ship. There are 24 crew members on a ship, each performing their own duties. This is a yacht, for fun. Can it be the same?!"
Liu Sheng's voice was a bit loud, causing the passengers in the front row to look back at them.
Zhao Xin glanced up without hesitation. She was a beauty with long legs. He noticed her when he got on the plane.
Well, look twice to see the bad ones.
The beauty glanced at Zhao Xin and then turned back.
Liu Sheng was not in the mood to look at beautiful women. He had just divorced and was very annoyed by women. He continued to ask: "Have you chosen the type of ship?"
"Well, I contacted the seller by phone before. I have made a preliminary selection, but if there is something more suitable, I will change it." Zhao Xin looked at the magazine and answered absentmindedly.
"Sorry, are you going to Sanya to buy a yacht?" A voice from the front row suddenly sounded. Zhao Xin looked up and saw that the woman was looking sideways at him.
"Yeah, let's take a look first."
"I have friends at the Yalong Bay Yacht Club, and we can get discounts on yachts." The girl thought for a while and continued: "When the plane lands, let's add WeChat first."
The two of them blinked, wondering if they happened to come across a yacht sale?
"Don't get me wrong." The girl explained quickly. "A good friend of mine sells yachts, so we help each other out."
When Zhao Xin heard this, he said, "Okay, it's necessary. Let's talk first." As for whether she can get a discount or not, is she buying it from her so-called friend? Is it serious?
Liu Sheng looked at the "cheesy smile" on Zhao Xin's face, and then turned to see the beautiful woman who was also smiling. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "A couple of bitches!"
Soon, at the secret request of the man in this pair of "dog men and women", Liu Sheng exchanged seats with the beautiful woman in the front row. Listening to the laughter coming from behind, Liu Sheng put on his headphones and covered his head and fell asleep.
While chatting with each other, Zhao Xin learned that the beautiful woman was Gu Xi, 25 years old, from Hujiang. Gu Xi stayed in the north to work after graduating from university. This time she went to Sanya to attend a wedding at the invitation of a good friend and was one of the bridesmaids.
After asking clearly how to write the word "Xi" in the other person's name, Zhao Xin entered the talkative mode.
"Were you born in the morning?"
"How do you know?" Gu Xi asked Zhao Xin curiously. The beauty blinked at him with big eyes, and Zhao Xin also fluttered like a big pigeon in his heart.
"The Book of Songs says that when the morning light appears, you will smile on your face. Xi refers to the sun." Zhao Xin has read a lot of books, but he has a very good memory.
"Yeah! You are right, my father named me from this sentence in the Book of Songs."
"Hey, you can't be a bridesmaid at someone else's wedding." Zhao Xin said with a fake frown.
"Why?"
"When a beauty like you is gone, who will care about the bride? It all depends on you."
"screw you."
"Hey, don't believe it, I am telling the truth."
"You are so annoying." Gu Xi's voice was soft.
"It's so cute, I like it!" Zhao Xin roared happily in his heart.
The four-hour flight passed quickly with a beautiful woman chatting with me.
After the plane landed, the two added each other's WeChat messages and left their phone numbers. As soon as Gu Xi got off the plane, she called her friend at the yacht club and introduced Zhao Xin to him.
After saying hello, Gu Xi sent his friend's phone number to Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin expressed his gratitude.
"Come on, if it works out, just treat me to a big dinner when you have time."
"Okay, it must be okay. You can tell me what you want to eat."
"Hey, I just like to hear your Beijing movies. How did you say this? Beierluo!"
Liu Sheng stood behind the two of them, with a look of contempt and disdain for Zhao Xin.
"Your friend doesn't like to talk. He looks bitter and hateful." Gu Xi approached Zhao Xin and asked quietly.
"Well, something happened at home and it's not going well. Why don't I take him to relax?"
"Hey, it's nice of him to have you as a friend."
"It's nothing, we're high school classmates, good buddies we grew up playing together."
After accompanying Gu Xi to pick up their luggage, the three of them walked out of the airport.
The phone rang, Zhao Xin answered the call first, hummed a few times and then hung up.
"Then I'll take a taxi and leave first." Gu Xi said to Zhao Xin after seeing him finish the phone call.
"There's no rush. By the way, your friend hasn't arranged to pick you up, either?"
"Hey, there are too many relatives and friends to take care of. They all called me to apologize before, so I can only take a taxi there by myself."
"Where are you going?" Zhao Xin asked.
"mangrove forest."
"Oh. I know. I'll take you there in my car."
"Your car?" Gu Xi looked curious. She had never heard Zhao Xin mention it on the plane.
"Yeah, the hotel car."
The hotel sent a Toyota Alpha. Zhao Xin gave the driver a hundred yuan and asked him to take Gu Xi to the hotel first. The driver agreed immediately after taking the money. In fact, we were just along the way.
The car arrived not long after driving.
Zhao Xin waved goodbye to Gu Xi. In just a few minutes, this guy had already made an appointment to have dinner together at noon tomorrow.
Zhao Xin booked a sea-view villa in a five-star hotel, just 100 meters away from the sea.
"How is it? The scenery is nice." After entering the house, Zhao Xin looked at the sea in front of him and asked Liu Sheng with great satisfaction.
Liu Sheng looked at the decoration in the villa indifferently, and complained: "The house is really nice, and the house price is really expensive. Don't mention the sea to me. I have been at the sea all year round, and you still let me see it I almost vomited just looking at the sea.”
"Can it be the same? There are groups of beauties on the beach. You rarely see groups of dolphins on ships."
It was still early, so Liu Sheng put down his luggage and proposed to go to the yacht club to watch the boats.
Zhao Xin made a call and the other party said he was welcome at any time.
After checking the route on their mobile phones, the two of them went out without calling a taxi and strolled all the way to the yacht club.
The sales girl in charge of the reception was waiting at the door with a smile on her face, and led the two of them towards the pier where the yacht was parked.
What Zhao Xin called in advance to see was an Azimut 98 luxury yacht made in Italy. This is a second-hand yacht. The original owner bought it less than two years ago, but the business failed and he had to sell the yacht.
Liu Sheng stood in front of the boat in a daze. He didn't expect that what Zhao Xin wanted to see was such a luxury yacht. He casually asked the sales girl the price of the boat, and was shocked by her answer.
It wasn't until Zhao Xin patted him on the shoulder that he came to his senses and said: "You live alone, you don't even have a wife, why did you buy such a big yacht? By the way, do you have a house in Sanya? By the way, you How many days can you stay in Sanya? Even if you have money, you can't do this!"
"Stop talking, you are not "Talk about China."" Zhao Xin patted Liu Sheng's shoulder and said seriously: "I didn't buy this boat for fun, it is for great use. Please help me take a closer look. , is there any problem? As for the reason, I will tell you when I get back."
When Liu Sheng saw Zhao Xin's serious expression, he put away the sarcasm that was brewing and was about to burst out, and looked at him suspiciously. Liu Sheng felt that this guy was just for money. What use could this thing have?
"This Azimut 98 luxury yacht was launched in 2008. The yacht is 30.51 meters long and 6.8 meters wide. It is equipped with two 2216 mHP (1630 kW) MTU 16V 2000 M92 engines, with a top speed of 32 knots, a fuel tank capacity of 10,980 liters, and a fresh water tank. Capacity: 1880 liters, fully loaded with 10 passengers.”
The sales girl led the two people to visit the boat while introducing various technical data of the yacht.
Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng were amazed by the giant door on the main deck that could be opened 180 degrees. There are 4 luxurious bedrooms in the yacht, with a total of 8 bunks, and the floors are paved with marble.
Walking to the stern of the ship, the sales girl gently pressed a button, and the semicircular glass door at the stern automatically moved to both sides, and was finally completely hidden within the side walls on both sides.
“The entire dining area, salon area and cockpit can be connected together without any partitions in between, covering an area of 120.8 square meters.”
Liu Sheng walked to the engine room under the boat and carefully checked the condition of the engine.
"Rich people really know how to enjoy it." Liu Sheng complained as he walked up and nodded to Zhao Xin.
"What's the problem with sailing this boat alone?" Zhao Xin asked in layman's terms.
"Mr. Zhao, you are really interesting. Do you need to drive it yourself if you want to buy such a big boat?" the sales girl pursed her lips and smiled.
"If I'm here, two people are enough." Liu Sheng replied nonchalantly.
Zhao Xin suddenly said again: "Excuse me, what if this boat can accommodate 100 people?"
The sales girl was stunned: "Mr. Zhao, the maximum capacity of this yacht is 10 people."
Zhao Xin waved his hand and said: "I understand, the number of cabins is only enough for 10 people; I mean there are seats on this deck and here." He pointed to the dining area and salon area where he was, and drew A big circle.
"Oh. Yes, it should, it should be okay." The sales girl was still a little confused and started complaining in her heart. Say you want to drive a big party of 100 people to other places, why do you have to be on this ship? Can you be so willful if you have money? By the way, can I come when the PARTY is held?
Liu Sheng looked at it at this time and said hesitantly: "I think it should be about the same."
Zhao Xin nodded, then turned to the sales girl and said: "After viewing the boat, we want to take a trip out to sea to see the condition of the boat."
The sales girl first confirmed that Zhao Xin really wanted to buy it, and then called the crew to sail the boat out to sea.
The ship ran for about half an hour, during which Liu Sheng carefully observed the status of the transmitter, and then went to the bridge to chat with the man driving the ship for a long time. Zhao Xin, on the other hand, was sitting in the salon on the ship chatting with the sales girl and waiting.
After a long time, Liu Sheng came up and said to Zhao Xin: "It's not a big problem. I heard from the crew that this boat is not driven very often, but the annual maintenance is done normally. It is really expensive to maintain such a luxury yacht. Money is simply a gold-eating beast.”
Zhao Xin then told the sales girl to drive the boat back to the dock. After the ship docked, the two parties returned to the club's office, and Zhao Xin began to chat with the sales girl about whether he could make concessions on the price. The two parties talked for a long time, but could not reach an agreement. Zhao Xin made an appointment with the other party to talk again tomorrow morning, and then he pulled Liu Sheng away without any explanation.
