Chapter 39 Look at this yacht, it's so big and white.
They've gotten carried away, really carried away.

With five million in hand, he actually started thinking about buying a yacht!
Li Zhe was sweating profusely and feeling extremely uncomfortable; the troubles of having money were truly troubling.

According to the usual practice of those super-rich people, shouldn't they buy a car first and then a house?

I first secured a villa on an island, and then I looked at yachts...

The path to wealth for the Armor Master is truly extraordinary.

Li Zhe turned on his phone without even realizing it.

Start browsing various yacht sales platforms...

Hey, don’t say it yet.

These things don't seem as expensive as I imagined.

A fiberglass speedboat can be bought for under 100,000 yuan.

However, these boats can basically only operate on the lakes within scenic areas, so they were promptly excluded from consideration.

As for those 16-meter luxury yachts, complete with sofas, color TVs, and small refrigerators...

Only 500,000?!

There are also some clearance sales, only 200,000!
This discount is outrageous!

But think about it carefully...

There are risks involved in operating at sea these days.

I heard that it happened right after the Abyss Crisis broke out.

Many yachts were having parties with steaks grilled on them, when suddenly they were eaten by monsters.

anyway.

If we're talking about the worst-hit ships at sea, we have to mention the US aircraft carriers.

The abyssal rift opened directly on the aircraft carrier's deck, instantly annihilating the United States' maritime hegemony...

In conclusion, the yacht industry has suffered a fatal blow.

Many yacht owners are choosing to sell at low prices in an attempt to liquidate this distressed asset.

But the goods were stuck in their hands, and nobody wanted to buy them.

Li Zhe continued browsing.

An urgent sale ad suddenly caught his eye.

Mangusta 165REV Superyacht, 99% new, available now, viewing by appointment only.

Li Zhe fell in love with this luxury yacht at first sight, just by looking at the pictures.

The slender deck, the graceful curves of the hull, the snow-white hull under the sunlight, the stainless steel chrome trim gleaming alluringly… just looking at the pictures is enough to make your mouth water and make you want to vomit.

A search for the original price...

More than two hundred million!

And now the price is only...

600? !

The anchorage location is right in the Pudong Islands, not far from my own starfish island!
To be honest, Li Zhe wouldn't have even bothered to look at a superyacht of this caliber.

But six million...

He glanced at his bank card balance.

I feel like I could reach it if I just tiptoed a little?

With the mindset that "it won't hurt to look around," Li Zhe booked a boat viewing tour on the website.

That afternoon, Li Zhe went to the designated berth port.

Guided by a beautifully made-up yacht saleswoman dressed in a sailor uniform, he saw this stunning beauty at sea…

When she was fully presented before my eyes.

Li Zhe was still slightly shocked by its magnificent appearance.

So big, so white, so beautiful.

"Mr. Li, this way please."

The sales assistant knew Li Zhe's identity and was aware of his background as the owner of the island.

Naturally, they dared not neglect a promising reserve mecha pilot and gave him a warm introduction.

"This Mangusta 165REV is the seventh yacht of this model built by our Jiangdong Shipyard at Shenhai after we acquired the original Idelley shipyard. It is 50 meters long, 9.2 meters wide, has a draft of 2 meters, and a gross tonnage of 499 tons."

"Flybridge design with a deck layout, fiberglass hull, top speed of 34 knots, range of 650 nautical miles. Standard configuration includes 6 passenger cabins accommodating 12 guests, and crew cabins accommodating 9-10 crew members..."

Just hearing these parameters made Li Zhe even more eager to try them out.

The ship is entirely white with a piano lacquer finish, complemented by black lines and stainless steel chrome strips, creating a dynamic and captivating visual effect.

The main salon features folding terraces on both sides and at the stern, extending into an open-air sea-view space.

The stern door slides open to create a beach club, forming a 69-square-meter waterfront relaxation area, including sofas, a sunbathing area, an in-floor pool, and a central bar.

The upper deck is a 60-square-meter flybridge area, including an infinity pool and a sunbathing area.

The interior furnishings feature a warm color scheme and a modern style, while large floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural light.

Each suite is up to five-star standards, and the owner's suite even has a walk-in closet!
One million more and we'll have a mothership like this.

Since the price has already dropped from 200 million to 6 million, maybe we can still negotiate a lower price?
"Excuse me..." Li Zhe asked tentatively, "Wasn't this ship originally priced at two hundred million? How come it's discounted so much now?"

The sales assistant wore a professional smile, but her eyes betrayed a hint of helplessness.

She hinted, "The original buyer of this ship... ran into some trouble and didn't pay the final payment..."

Li Zhe wanted to inquire further.

The sales assistant was very principled and resolutely refused to reveal the original buyer's identity.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, anyway, this ship is genuine, the original buyer never even came to see it!"

"She hasn't even made her maiden voyage yet... Look, the plastic wrap on the rudder hasn't even been removed!"

Li Zhe nodded and casually asked, "Is there any room for negotiation on this price?"

The saleswoman looked hesitant: "Mr. Li, this price is already very favorable. This six million includes a year's worth of boat maintenance, insurance, boat berthing vouchers, yacht driving lessons, diving instruction courses, business etiquette courses, wine knowledge courses... oh! And a top-of-the-line yacht party package..."

Li Zhe raised his hand to interrupt the salesperson's incessant speech.

These maintenance insurance courses and yacht parties...

I don't need it at all!
He immediately told the sales assistant that he didn't need any of these things.

For Li Zhe, simply storing the yacht in the maintenance hangar as a mothership would make maintenance convenient.

That [Star Core Gold] material can also be used to strengthen this mothership.

With its own strength and stamina, it can easily handle daily cleaning and maintenance.

As for driving lessons?

I've flown planes before, why would I be afraid of this?
Other things like diving and business etiquette are just empty talk and completely useless.

As for that yacht party package... the pictures on the listing are quite tempting, with bikinis of all skin tones and sizes, and big, wavy hair...

But spending money on this?
waste!

These ship decorations only take up bed space and waste fuel.

With that energy, I'd be better off washing the deck and shoveling barnacles!

Li Zhe decisively demanded the removal of these miscellaneous items.

The sales assistant didn't dare to slack off and quickly pressed buttons on the calculator.

After these fees are removed, the price instantly drops to...

Three million two hundred thousand!
"Can you make it any cheaper?"

Li Zhe got hooked on bargaining and continued to haggle.

What do you take this place for?

Just then, a woman's voice, cold yet tinged with displeasure, came from behind him.

Li Zhe turned his head to look.

A woman of exceptional beauty walked gracefully towards them, her arms crossed.

She looked to be under thirty years old.

Her long, wavy chestnut hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her slightly upturned phoenix eyes exuded an innate charm.

A well-tailored white suit skirt perfectly accentuated her mature and alluring S-shaped curves.

Especially her rounded hips that swayed gently with her steps, and the astonishing curves of her chest, which were stretched taut by her silk shirt as if the buttons were about to burst open at any moment...

In Li Zhe's opinion, although this woman was not as exciting as the yacht, she was still a remarkable woman.

Li Zhe cast an inquiring glance at the saleswoman next to him.

The sales assistant quickly introduced in a low voice, "This is our president, Ms. Su Wan."

"Oh."

Out of basic courtesy, Li Zhe nodded to the president.

He then looked away and continued to haggle with the sales assistant.

"Miss, you see I'm really interested in buying, so could you give me a fair price?"

Su Wan was left standing there, ignored.

Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed instantly, and a surge of anger rushed to her head.

“Sir,” Su Wan walked up to Li Zhe, her voice turning colder, “three million two hundred thousand is already a rock-bottom price. If you are not financially well-off, please leave and don’t waste everyone’s time here.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhe slowly replied, "Whether I have money or not is none of your business. I'm talking to this young lady, not you."

"You!" Su Wan was so choked that she almost couldn't catch her breath.

Just as she was about to lash out, the sales assistant next to her quickly tugged at her sleeve and whispered a few words in her ear.

"President Su, this Mr. Li... is a reserve mecha pilot."

"His assets are the starfish island next door."

"The person who crippled that Okamoto family patriarch and escaped unscathed during the mecha pilot summoning ceremony a few days ago was him!"

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!" Su Wan's expression changed instantly.

"Due to recent cost reductions and efficiency improvements, several colleagues have been laid off, so we haven't had time to notify you..." the sales assistant said helplessly.

Su Wan opened her mouth, then closed it.

His expression shifted from initial anger to shock.

Then came disbelief, and finally, a sense of complexity and solemnity.

She, the CEO, hasn't been having a comfortable time lately.

The original leaders of this Jiangdong Shipbuilding Group were actually her brother and sister-in-law.

A month ago, they happened to be abroad.

A crisis erupted in the abyss, and the couple was in trouble...

Su Wan was appointed to take over this mess in a time of crisis, and she also had to raise her brother's only daughter.

The current situation is highly volatile.

Against this backdrop of impending doom, the company's economic situation is far from optimistic.

Take this superyacht, for example.

Originally priced at over 200 million, its current price has plummeted.

The last sucker who was willing to pay 90 million for this yacht was Katsuki Okamoto.

result……

The deal fell through.

And Li Zhe, who ruined this deal, is now actually buying the ship for three million? And he's still haggling over the price?!
Is this... is this bullying the widowed women of the Su family?!

Su Wan looked at the indifferent man in front of her, frantically searching for a solution in her mind.

A head-on confrontation is definitely not going to work.

Although the other party was only a reserve mecha pilot, he actually dared to cripple a tycoon's son in public.

He's definitely a ruthless person...

Therefore, it seems there is only one answer.

If you can’t beat it, join!
Su Wan took a deep breath and put on a professional smile again.

However, this time, there was an inexplicable meaning in his smile.

She looked at Li Zhe and, in an extremely natural tone, posed an unexpected question.

"I wonder what Mr. Li's views are regarding betrothal gifts and dowries?"

Li Zhe was bewildered by this seemingly random question, but he still managed to remain calm.

What do you mean by asking that?

Su Wan smiled charmingly, her red lips slightly parted:

“I have a niece who is about the same age as Mr. Li…”

She said no more; those who understand, understand.

He abruptly changed the subject and dropped a bombshell.

"As long as Mr. Li can come up with five million as a bride price, this yacht and our entire group can be offered as dowry!"

"I reject."

"When my niece is on vacation, we can have an engagement party first... Wait, what did you just say?"

"I refuse," Li Zhe said calmly. "I refuse to marry your niece!"
