Chapter 320 Empty maiden voyage

The procedures for becoming an island owner will take some time. The speed of this depends on the local government, but as long as An Feng is willing to pay, the procedures will be completed sooner or later. During this time, he will continue to inspect his island, The land of nearly 4.5 square kilometers is very powerful.

  The natural landscape is invincible, and there is a tourist area a few kilometers away. If you think the island is too boring, you can also take a yacht to participate in the excitement of the surrounding public beaches. And this brings about the problem of yachts... Things are intertwined, and enjoying it all depends on having a thick enough wallet.

An Feng still needs a designer to design the island owner's vacation mansion, which doesn't need to be extravagant. Anyway, he can't come here a few times a year. He needs a two-story building with electricity, water, and Internet, and a freshwater swimming pool facing the city. The sea, the warmth of spring and the flowers blooming... It is close to the mainland, and the request is not too difficult.

  There are also indispensable island caretakers, who live on the island all year round, maintain order, and guard against being intruded into private land by other people. One or two people are recommended, because the geographical location is good, it is only a ten-minute flight from Sardinia, and it is the same from La Maddalena.

   It took some time to entrust the matter. In the end, they rented a boat to go out to sea, landed on the island, and enjoyed a sunny and sunny afternoon, completely undisturbed, very quiet, and they could overlook the La Maddalena Island in the distance and countless yachts and sailboats on the sea.

  Joanna rested on his lap, looked down at the sea in the distance, and said with great enjoyment: "It feels really good, the temperature is right, it's worth it."

   "The conditions are too primitive, and all aspects need to be improved." An Feng said, this is also a fly in the ointment, and the demand for water resources and electricity is very urgent.

   "It will get better." She closed her eyes comfortably, "Hold me."

An Feng hugged her, stroked her hair gently, and let her relax in the sea breeze and warm sun... This place is different from other islands. Its geographical advantages determine the correctness of investment. After many islands were sold, the owner of the island They will change hands within a few years, because there is a gap with the dream.

The life on the fantasy island is rarely realized, because the place where they live is far and remote, and the power problem alone is difficult for a large number of people. An Feng looked at the hillside above his head, and the sea breeze here is not small. The wind power station should be able to provide electricity, if not, use super batteries.

   Or submarine cable is also a good choice, it is only six or seven kilometers away from the mainland... In short, as long as you have money, everything is easy to do, and things will be taken slowly. If you get bored, just like a holiday company, transform it into a holiday island and rent it out at a high price, there must be no shortage of customers.

  After having enough fun in the afternoon, sail back to the voyage.

  On the way, An Feng considered practical issues: "Darling, you said we need at least one yacht here? How will we come here in the future?"

   "Order another one?" Joanna understood what he meant.

  An Feng nodded: "Yes, continue to go to Genoa to talk to the manager. Anyway, we are already VIP customers, so we should have a fast track."

   Taking advantage of the time to go north to Finland, they went to Genoa again, and they were still received by the account manager, and this time they were still on time. As a professional manager who serves the rich, he must have a strong sense of time. If he plays with the Italian temperament, he will be unemployed sooner or later.

  An Feng wanted to get the goods faster, because it took only half a year to transform the island, and it would take more than a year after the establishment of the facilities, and the mood of playing would be destroyed sooner or later. After listening to the idea, the manager said, "I'm afraid Riva is not so fast."

When An Feng was disappointed, he continued: "But Ferretti has semi-finished yachts, which were canceled by some customers. If you are interested, you can modify them according to your favorite style. It is estimated that it will take up to five yachts. It will be completed in about a month.”

   "What types are there?" An Feng asked.

  “We have the flagship Line 960. The hull has been completed, and we are waiting for the selection and assembly of the interior. All projects only need 10 million US dollars.”

The manager directly recommends the most expensive one. In his opinion, what this super rich man cares about is not the price, but time and enjoyment. He simply chooses what he likes and recommends the best one, which will also allow him to earn more profit commissions. . The manager guessed right. After seeing the renderings, An Feng admired them very much.

After choosing the accessories I like, I signed a contract, stipulating the latest delivery time, and clinking champagne glasses again to celebrate...the next day they were on the plane to Finland, the schedule was tight, and the cruise ship estimated The day after tomorrow we will need to sail away from port.

   On the plane, Joanna asked, "Have you decided how to name the two yachts?"

  As the flagship luxury yacht, it can be sprayed with the name according to the customer's requirements. An Feng didn't expect it when he signed the contract, and promised to reply within one month.

  He turned his head and said, "Continue to be named after you?"

   "Always me?" She smiled.

"I'm not very good at picking names." An Feng frowned, "Oh! I have a good one! The Ferretti 960 is called 'Dame-Joanna', to commemorate your honor and become a lady; and Riva's The yacht is called 'Baroness-Joanna', in honor of your baroness."

  Joanna said: "Are you so sure I can get these within the time the yacht is built?"

   "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the title comes sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it is a year later or a year earlier."

   "I really admire you!" After Joanna finished speaking, she thought of something: "Wait! According to what you say, isn't the cruise ship also within the possibility?"

  An Feng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her: "Do you want to be a queen?"

   "What?" Joanna said.

An Feng has his own way: "I read on the Internet before that there was a couple who lived in a concrete artillery fort, and they proclaimed themselves king and queen. Their children will be princes and princesses in the future. In addition, they also have the national flag, country name and currency. Distribution rights, of course the central bank is also at home.”

   "Haha! It's amazing!" Joanna couldn't help laughing.

  An Feng shrugged: "I'm serious."

   "I know, dear." Joanna held his hand and looked at him: "But I'm satisfied as long as I can be your queen!"

   "It's very simple." An Feng didn't care, "You did it last time!"

   "Don't say it!" Joanna covered his mouth, for fear that An Feng would run off the train with his mouth full, and would say something about the fact that he was handcuffed to be an M last time... It's embarrassing!

  The flight attendant who served them tea secretly smiled.

   "Look!" Joanna pinched him after the stewardess left.

   "I was wrong!" An Feng surrendered, he was innocent, but this is clearly the truth, okay?

  …

  Their private plane arrived in Helsinki, Finland, non-stop, and then transferred to a flight to Turku. The super cruise ship has already docked at the local deep-water port, quietly waiting for their master. After getting off the plane, I was first picked up and sent to the hotel to stay. The time is not early, and I will visit the next day.

  Accompanied by Jim, several shipyard managers, account managers, and two translators came to the dedicated seaport the next day, and saw this shocking super jumbo from a distance. If you want to observe the complete cruise ship, you have to step back, and you can only see a part of it at close range.

  It is 75 meters high, equivalent to the height of a 30-story building, with a total length of 365 meters and a displacement of 230,000 tons. It looks like a monster about to explode across the harbor. Approaching it, Wei An's body covered the sky and covered the sun, and then came to the bow of the ship. The words "Queen-Joanna" were printed in huge black letters on the side of the ship, verifying her true body.

   "It looks good!" An Feng said with satisfaction.

  Jim said: "Its interior can only be described as 'amazing', it is so luxurious, more luxurious than any cruise ship I have ever seen!"

   "Shall we get on the boat?" An Feng looked at everyone.

   Enter the hull from the connecting channel, below the fifth floor are the opera house, cinema, ice rink and other areas. The fifth floor is a luxurious interior corridor, which is also the "facade" of the cruise ship. Take the elevator to the fifth deck, and enjoy the world's largest and most expensive super cruise ship in the magnificent luxury.

  An Feng had very high requirements at the beginning, but he also gave a lot of money. The shipyard did everything possible to move all the luxurious things up, and finally spent the budget. Including the central park surrounded by buildings in the eight-story atrium, the crystal staircase from the fifth floor, or the extremely elegant opera house.

All this is piled up with money, two billion puts all imaginable luxury on it, it has a casino, two opera houses, three movie theaters, ten bars, twenty restaurants, and an indoor ice rink , amphitheatre, rock climbing area, high-rise zip line...

Calling it the "Sea Palace" is worthy of the name. An Feng saw the No. 1 top-level suite built for VVIP on the top floor. It spans two rows of buildings domineeringly. It is a cruise ship with a hidden story.

Walking into Suite 1, the outdoor and indoor area is 1,500 square meters. It is a duplex structure. The lower floor is the living and entertainment area. There is a salon for more than a dozen people, a study room with a rich collection of books, a fitness room for physical and mental health care, and a huge constant temperature freshwater swimming pool. You can soak in the water and look at the ocean outside the three-meter-high floor-to-ceiling windows.

Outside is an open-air top-floor viewing platform. The location is excellent. You can stand on the highest point and look out at the sea, feel the majesty of the big ship moving forward, or choose a good weather, put a few deck chairs on it to bask in the sun, and you can also use the small observatory at night. Count the stars in the night sky.

The second floor is the living area. It is equipped with a living room and three living rooms. To be honest, the three rooms are a bit too big. The house is divided into a front hall and a back hall. The bathroom is larger than the living room of an ordinary family. There is a sauna Steam bath, hydrotherapy SPA, jacuzzi... everything is available.

  The other party introduced: "This place is built according to a super five-star hotel, with top-notch facilities to ensure that VVIP guests can enjoy the most distinguished services of the Sea Palace."

   "It's really good!" An Feng was very satisfied. Although the color tone tends to be bright and luxurious, this super cruise ship was built for this purpose. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, looking at the dozen or so swimming pools on the top deck and the central garden in the atrium, with an invincible view.

   Joanna was also happy with all the details.

  After the customer was satisfied, they held the empty-laden maiden voyage the next day. The destination of their departure this time was the deep-water pier rented by Ocean Shipping Company in Miami, where the Queen will berth and set sail in the future. There are not many people on the cruise ship now, except for the crew, there are only a few customers.

   The maiden voyage of a cruise ship fully loaded with guests and waiters will have to wait until next year.

An Feng and Joanna only participated in the 300-kilometer trial voyage. They set off from Turku to feel the wind and waves and supreme heroism. After sailing for a few hours, the cruise ship approached Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. According to the original arrangement, they took the helicopter on board to leave .

  The actual experience satisfied them, and the five-star cruise ship was impeccable. Then wait for the cruise ship to return to Florida across the Atlantic, and the company will pay the remaining $1.4 billion to the shipyard to fully complete the agreement. Now, An Feng and Joanna are already on the plane back to the United States.
