Chapter 85 Renting a Yacht
After Li Zhuo read the prompt message, he was a little confused for a while.
First of all, he didn't expect that the incense burner could arrange the task to such a far place, from Hangzhou to the coast of Guangdong, this distance...
Secondly, the location of this mission is at sea, which means that he has to get a yacht, otherwise he will not be able to handle it.
For such a long distance, it stands to reason that flying or high-speed rail is the best way.
But he still has to take the incense burner with him and cannot leave it at home. The landlord has the key, so this is a hidden danger.
Of course, when the incense burner reaches level ten, it can be put into the body, and this problem will no longer be a problem in the future.
But now he has to consider a very practical issue, that is, if he takes the incense burner on a plane or a high-speed train, will it be regarded as a cultural relic, or will it be discovered as something strange, thus exposing his biggest secret?
It can be said that he thinks a lot, but he wants to make sure nothing goes wrong, because this is his biggest reliance in the future, and he does not dare to be careless.
After much deliberation, he felt that the only solution was to drive there by himself.
He checked the distance and found that the straight-line distance from Hangzhou to Yangcheng, Guangdong Province is more than 1,200 kilometers.
Drive this distance...
That's all, just be tired if you're tired. Drive slower on the road. When you're tired, just find a hotel on the road to rest enough before continuing.
Li Zhuo called Xiaobai and told him that he was going on a business trip for a few days. Xiaobai quickly agreed with a few yeses.
She is currently preparing for the accounting qualification exam, which is also very hard.
After that, Li Zhuo went downstairs and drove the G500 and set off. This road was basically on a high speed, so it would be no problem if you followed the navigation.
At noon, he got off the bus at a high-speed service area in Ruijin, Gan Province. The biggest feeling he felt was numbness in his balls.
The big G is quite powerful, but it is bumpy to drive and its comfort level is really not as good as that of a sedan.
After eating this and taking a short rest, he continued on his way until 10 o'clock in the evening, when Li Zhuocai finally arrived at Yangcheng.
After getting off the bus, I felt like my balls were numb*2!
He waited for a while before driving into the Zhengjia Marriott Hotel next to Tianhe Square.
This is a five-star hotel. Li Zhuo asked for an executive suite of about 80 square meters, and the price was less than 2,000 yuan a night.
Li Zhuo felt exhausted physically and mentally. After all, he had driven such a long way and was so tired that he just wanted to sleep.
But he had to eat something first, so Li Zhuo asked the girl at the front desk to bring him a dinner.
The location here is good, and the Tianhe Plaza downstairs is one of the places with the largest flow of people in Yangcheng.
But the decoration style of this hotel is average, and the hardware facilities are also average.
The service staff quickly delivered a set meal, including white-cut chicken with ginger paste, homemade handmade tofu, crispy pepper Kung Pao shrimp balls, etc. After Li Zhuo finished eating, he went to bed.
When he woke up in the morning, he had slept for eight or nine hours and was completely exhausted. Then he ordered another Cantonese morning tea and continued on his way after eating.
……
The distance from Yangcheng to Shanwei is not far, less than 300 kilometers, and it took Li Zhuo three hours to get to Shanwei.
After coming here, he went to stay at the Star River Hotel, a five-star hotel here.
Star River Hotel is well-known in the local area. It has just opened two or three years ago. The location is really good. It is located on the seaside avenue, very close to Red Bay and Qinghu Lake. You can enjoy the sea view and lake view at any time.
The hotel adopts a Chinese garden style, but it cleverly incorporates Western modern style during decoration, giving people a more modern and trendy feeling without looking old-fashioned.
Li Zhuo stayed in an executive castle suite on the 23rd floor, with an area of 120 square meters and a price of about 2,000 yuan per night.
The feeling of moving in is pretty good. The living room has a sense of design. In addition to the blue floral carpet and brown furniture, there is a sunken tea drinking area on one side of the living room. Similarly, there is a sunken tea area on one side of the bedroom.
style office area, sitting here you can clearly see the scenery of Qinghu Lake outside the window.
Li Zhuo went downstairs to the restaurant to have something to eat, then went to the front desk and asked the hotel to help rent a large yacht.
The distance traveled by a small yacht is short and its endurance is too weak.
About 20 minutes later, the front desk lady called him and provided him with two yachts that could be booked immediately - of -
"The first one is a 60-foot-long flybridge yacht, which is just enough to meet the threshold of a large yacht. It is a domestic model. The price when purchased was 10 million. The price quoted by the yacht club was 4,500 yuan per three hours."<
/p>
Yachts are also divided into three categories: large, medium and small——
Generally, small yachts are less than 36 feet (almost 11 meters long);
Below 60 feet (18 meters) and above 36 feet are medium-sized yachts;
Anything over 60 feet is a large yacht;
Those over 100 feet (30.5 meters) are luxury yachts. Generally speaking, these yachts are privately customized and can cost hundreds of millions of RMB or even hundreds of millions of dollars, which is astonishingly expensive.
Domestic yachts are generally charged by the hour, and most rentals start from three hours.
4,500 yuan for three hours, which is not bad.
Li Zhuo asked:
"What's the other one?"
The front desk continued:
"There is also a 72-foot (about 21.6 meters) flybridge yacht, which belongs to a local rich man. The purchase price at the time was more than 20 million yuan, and the quoted price per three hours was yuan."
Li Zhuo said decisively:
"I rent a 60-foot yacht, please contact me."
What a joke, the second one is a little over 3 meters long, and the asking price is more than double.
Anyway, he just wanted to complete the task quickly this time, experience the yacht by the way, and prepare to buy a yacht when he has money in the future.
For experience, it doesn’t matter. There is not much difference between 60 feet and 72 feet.
Because large yachts have relatively high requirements for comfort, the two yachts are actually similar in configuration.
They can all be arranged into a home on the sea.
Li Zhuo didn't know that as the size of a yacht increases, the cost increases exponentially.
The cost of a 100-foot yacht is more than eight times that of a 50-foot yacht.
The front desk asked at this time:
"Okay, Mr. Li, how long do you plan to rent for? When will the rent start?"
"Let's rent... for 8 hours first. The sooner the better." Li Zhuo thought for a while and said.
"I understand, I'll call them now."
……
Twenty minutes later, Li Zhuo drove to the yacht club in Red Bay.
Club staff greeted him and took him to a large yacht located at the berth.
"Mr. Li, this is the 'Red Sun' you rented. It has been filled with enough fuel. The crew is on the way over. You can set off in about 10 minutes."
This yacht will be equipped with two crew members and an experienced captain.
The staff also asked him if he needed a chef and service staff. If so, there would be an additional charge.
Li Zhuo said no.
He only stays at sea for a few hours, so there is really no need to have a dedicated chef and service staff.
But this also reminded him that if he buys a luxury yacht in the future, not to mention the high purchase cost, he will definitely have to maintain several crew members, chefs, beautiful waiters, etc., plus maintenance fees, berths, etc.
Fees, etc., the annual expenditure alone is not a small amount.
No wonder luxury yachts are something only the richest men in the world can enjoy. They can’t even compare to private jets. This is probably one of the reasons.
Work hard to make money, and you will have a promising future!
After a while, the crew members boarded the yacht one after another, and the club staff then sent some food and fruit on board.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Zhuo also got on the boat.
Chapter completed!
