The next day, Zhang Junping brought Tian Shumei, Yang Ying, Ye Zhiming and his captain friend to the Peninsula Hotel.
Zhang Junping rented a multi-functional hall here as the defense venue.
As for those who have been eliminated, Zhang Junping informed them yesterday that they can leave.
There are only five yacht companies participating in the defense today.
Zhang Junping first listened to their introduction about his design, and then started to ask questions.
"Ms. Wilt, what I want to ask is, can your yacht be built bigger?
Can the speed be improved?"
“Our company can definitely build bigger yachts, but that will come at the expense of speed.
If we want to increase the speed and increase the size of the hull at the same time, we can't do this." Anna Wilt replied simply.
"If you keep the current speed, how big can you do?" Zhang Junping asked again.
"I need to communicate with our designers to confirm this."
"Okay, I'm waiting for your reply." Zhang Junping nodded.
Then he looked at the representative of the German yacht company.
"Mr. Coleman, I am very interested in your yacht.
I want to know if the speed can be increased by keeping the current hull size?
In other words, maintaining the current speed, what is the maximum size of yacht you can produce?
Also, how soon can I get the yacht?" Zhang Junping asked three questions in a row.
After hearing Zhang Junping's question, Gustavo Koeman felt happy. He knew that he had a high chance of winning.
There is a saying in China that buyers are the ones who find fault.
The more questions Zhang Junping has, the greater the chance of winning in the end.
"Mr. Zhang, the 81-meter yacht is the largest among the yachts currently produced by our company.
If Mr. Zhang needs a larger yacht, I need to communicate with our designer.
In addition, I have communicated with the designer before about the speed increase of the 81-meter yacht.
Speed can be increased by adding engines and turbines.
However, the maximum speed will not exceed twenty knots.
Moreover, adding an engine will increase fuel consumption and require an increase in the yacht's fuel tank, which will compress the available space of the yacht.
Or at the expense of shortened cruising range.
No matter which one it is, it is not more suitable than the current design." Gustavo Coman explained to Zhang Junping eloquently.
"As for the delivery time, if Mr. Zhang decides now, we will need an eighteen-month production cycle."
Eighteen months is definitely too long, and Zhang Junping doesn't want to wait that long.
"Does Leshun Company have any ready-made yachts? Yachts that can be delivered in a short time?
Not only Leshun, but also your four companies, do you have any yachts that can be delivered in a short time?" Zhang Junping asked the representatives of the five yacht companies.
"Don't worry, this yacht will be delivered in a short time and will not affect my customization plan.
I won't just order a yacht." Zhang Junping smiled and drew a cake for everyone.
Everyone became excited. The more yachts Zhang Junping ordered, the greater the chance of representing them.
After all, normal people would not order more than two yachts from one company.
"Mr. Zhang, could you please give us some time? We need to communicate with the Chinese company." Gustavo Coman was the first to speak.
The other four people also expressed that they needed to communicate with the company before they could reply.
"Can!
How long does it take you?
Let’s go to my castle to talk at this time tomorrow!” Zhang Junping said with a smile.
Ordering a yacht is not easy.
"Zhiming, how's the discussion about Kang Le Building going?"
“It’s almost done, and the difference in prices is not very big now.
It will be decided the day after tomorrow at the latest." Ye Zhiming replied respectfully.
"What's Kang Le's current quotation?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars."
"It's too high! The current housing prices in Xiangjiang are not worth the price." Zhang Junping shook his head and said.
"Yes, I have been lowering the price, and I estimate that I can get it from 1.6 billion to 1.7 billion." Ye Zhiming said confidently.
In fact, the Hong Le Building cost 1.8 billion, and the Land Company has already lost money.
At that time, Real Estate spent HK$2.158 billion just to purchase land.
Plus the money to build skyscrapers.
But who asked him to urgently need money?
Now in the whole of Xiangjiang, there are not many people who can spend so much money at once.
There are almost no people willing to spend such money to buy Kangle Building.
Someone bought it, but the price was lower.
"Don't be in a hurry, just talk to the other person slowly.
We don't have to buy it either.
If we don't sell it, we can rent the first floor as an office.
Our focus is still on the Crystal Palace.
The acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas is all to serve the Crystal Palace." Zhang Junping suggested.
"I see.
After buying the theater chain, we can establish relationships with those directors one by one.
Through them we can cultivate the reputation of our Crystal Palace artists.
Only when you are famous can you be sought after." Ye Zhiming showed a smile that every man would understand.
In fact, are many celebrities really that beautiful?
not necessarily!
Those stars just became famous by chance. What's more important for them is their acting skills.
When it comes to appearance, there are many ordinary people who are more beautiful and have better figures than them.
However, the reason why celebrities are popular is because of their fame.
"Just understand in your heart, no need to say it out loud." Zhang Junping glared at Ye Zhiming.
In the future, the Crystal Palace entertainment club will definitely be crowded with stars, and stars from all over the world will appear in the Crystal Palace.
Likewise, not everyone can enter the Crystal Palace.
You must have assets reaching a certain level to be eligible to enter.
Setting entry barriers was proposed by Zhang Junping and Ye Zhiming when they discussed the development ideas of Crystal Palace.
In fact, rich people can also be immoral. The more open they are to letting people in, the less they care about it.
If it is true, set a threshold and those with assets below 10 million will not be allowed to enter the Crystal Palace.
Those with assets below 100 million can only stay on the periphery.
Those rich people, on the other hand, squeezed their heads in and got in.
This is human nature.
"How's the talk about the Shaw Brothers theater chain going?" Zhang Junping asked about the Shaw Brothers theater chain again.
"I made contact with the other party.
I'm sincere in wanting to sell it, but the other party's asking price is too high.
Especially Fang Yihua, she is so arrogant, as if we are begging her to buy it." Ye Zhiming said angrily.
"forget about it.
It just so happens that properties in Xiangjiang have become cheaper recently, so you can re-look for a place, buy land, or buy ready-made properties, and we will set up our own cinema chain company." Zhang Junping said directly.
Xiangjiang's review of movie theaters is still very relaxed.
"Let's start our own theater company?" Ye Zhiming said excitedly.
"Yes, do it yourself, Shao Laoliu's cinemas are too old.
After buying it, we have to spend money to renovate it.
It's better to just create a new one.
You've had the opportunity to interact with those directors more recently."
