"Hello everyone! Since we are Zhiming's friends, you're welcome, just do whatever you want.
What do you want to drink? Coffee or tea?" Zhang Junping greeted with a smile.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang, we are not thirsty!" everyone said politely.
Those who can become captains are definitely high-income people in Xiangjiang, middle class or above.
Especially the captains of yachts deal with rich people and the second generation of rich people every day.
However, after meeting Zhang Junping, I was still a little cautious.
I have never seen such a rich man.
The Mid-Levels Castle is one of the top luxury homes in Xiangjiang. This is their first time visiting such a place.
"Then let's have tea!" Zhang Junping glanced at Tian Shumei.
Tian Shumei and Yang Ying went to make tea for Ye Zhiming and others.
"These are the design plans and quotations given by twelve yacht companies based on my requirements.
Don't worry about the quotation part. You are mainly analyzing the pros and cons of these yachts from a professional perspective." After Tian Shumei and Yang Ying brought the tea, Zhang Junping said to everyone with a smile.
"Oh! By the way, I bought a yacht mainly because I wanted to take my family with me to travel around the world.
Of course, I usually go out to sea for fun." Zhang Junping added.
Everyone was astonished. They ordered a luxury yacht just for a trip around the world. This is the idea of being rich.
They really can't accept it.
According to their idea, to travel around the world, you can rent a yacht from a yacht company. The cost of renting it for a year is only a fraction of the cost of buying a yacht.
Everyone took the yacht and turned it over, then began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each yacht to Zhang Junping.
Based on Zhang Junping's needs, we began to explain the things that need to be paid attention to when choosing a yacht.
According to the elimination method, we started to eliminate one yacht after another, and finally there were five yachts left.
"Mr. Zhang, these five yachts can meet your requirements in terms of quality and size." A Mediterranean captain in his fifties introduced to Zhang Junping.
"Well!" Zhang Junping took it and took a look.
The three yachts he just selected were among them.
"Mr. Zhang, if you are just traveling around the world, I would not recommend this German yacht.
Although this yacht is the largest, its speed is too slow and is not suitable for traveling around the world." Another captain pointed to the German yacht and added.
"The yacht is big, so shouldn't it be more suitable for traveling around the world?" Zhang Junping didn't quite understand and asked doubtfully.
"Mr. Zhang, the speed of eighteen knots is approximately equivalent to a speed of thirty-three kilometers per hour.
The world is too big, and traveling at a speed of 33 kilometers will make your global travel very boring.
A lot of time is wasted on the voyage,” explains the Mediterranean captain.
"Moreover, the sea is not that safe. Traveling around the world cannot avoid encountering dangers of one kind or another." A middle-aged captain added.
“Considering safety issues, I don’t think this 47-meter British yacht is suitable.
Although this yacht has not traveled around the world, it lacks comfort and safety on the vast ocean.
If this eighty-one-meter yacht can reach a speed of more than twenty-five knots, that would be ideal." A captain in his thirties, the youngest among all captains, then spoke.
"I understand! Thank you all!" Zhang Junping listened for a long time and finally understood.
If you want to travel around the world, the yacht is too small, it is uncomfortable, there is not enough crew, and safety cannot be guaranteed.
It's too big and the speed is too slow. In the vast sea, maybe it won't feel boring at the beginning.
However, as time goes by, it will definitely feel boring if all you see is the vast sea.
How can we enjoy traveling around the world when such boredom piles up?
According to them, the one over sixty meters is more suitable.
The speed of 21 is three knots faster than the German yacht.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Junping suddenly slapped his forehead, something was wrong.
Eighteen knots is equivalent to a speed of thirty-three kilometers per hour, and twenty-one knots is also equivalent to a speed of thirty-eight kilometers per hour.
Even if it is a British yacht, its speed of 25 knots is only 46 kilometers per hour. How much faster can it be?
Zhang Junping expressed his doubts.
"Mr. Zhang, the speed on the sea cannot be calculated simply based on the speed on land." The Mediterranean captain explained with a smile.
"Even the speed of a speedboat is only forty to fifty knots.
On the vast ocean, sailing too fast can be very dangerous.
Moreover, if the speed is not increased by one knot, the test on the hull will increase a lot." The middle-aged captain added.
"The difference in speed between one knot and two knots on the sea is already very large." the Mediterranean captain continued to explain.
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts." Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.
"I would like to trouble you all to accompany me to the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow to attend the yacht manufacturer's design defense meeting.
You can also put forward modification suggestions based on my requirements and let the manufacturer redesign it."
"No problem. Being able to participate in such a defense meeting is a rare experience for us." The Mediterranean captain smiled.
He was right, such a defense meeting was definitely a rare experience.
It can broaden their horizons and increase their qualifications.
It can also increase their bragging topics in the future.
Naturally I won't refuse.
"I have plans here tonight.
Zhiming, please help me entertain some friends." Zhang Junping said to Ye Zhiming with a smile.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang!" Ye Zhiming agreed quickly.
After Zhang Junping sent Ye Zhiming and others away, Tian Shumei asked: "Have you decided which yacht to choose?"
"about there!
I'll ask tomorrow to see if I can increase the speed." Zhang Junping pointed to the German yacht and smiled.
"Is this yacht too big?"
"No way! It's only eighty-one meters.
If possible, I would also like a yacht over 100 meters long." Zhang Junping said with a smile: "In such a yacht, the space for tourists and the working space for the crew are separated.
This ensures we have a private space."
"Private space?"
"That's right! On the vast sea, what do you want to do without the sky covering the sky?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"I don't think about good things all day long." Yang Ying rolled her eyes at Zhang Junping, but she was very moved.
"Hehe! You don't want to?" Zhang Junping chuckled.
"Think about it! Doing it on the sea with the sky and the earth covered, it must be very enjoyable." Yang Ying's eyes became watery, and she was indescribably charming.
"so!
It is very important to have a large enough private space." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Tian Shumei and Yang Ying were both convinced by Zhang Junping.
It is better to have a bigger yacht, as the private space is large enough so that you can relax when playing.
When playing, I worry about being seen or heard, which is a bit disappointing.
