Chapter 436: Sell Two Aircraft Carriers, for One to Bomb and Sink the Other
“Dali, those are cars and electronic products, how great these two business projects are, and you’re selling them just like that?” After that young man had left, Tang Muxin pouted and was full of unwillingness. “Though it’s quite a lot of money, if these two business projects are properly developed, with your luck and ability, the prospects would definitely be bigger. It’s such a pity to sell them for only 2 billion…”
Now, the little lass could be said to be completely convinced of Hong Dali’s abilities. In her heart, everything that Hong Dali started up would definitely be popular. Thus, by selling the toy factory and electronics company today, it had indeed made her feel that it was very much of a loss.
Ling Xiaoyi felt that it was quite a loss too. After all, these things would not be valuable if placed in other people’s hands. But when placed in Hong Dali’s hands, it was different. Once Hong Dali started handling them, with those unexpected tactics of his, they’d definitely be popular. But after they were sold out, that was a one-shot deal, and the key was that there would not be subsequent earnings. Thus, this was indeed a pity.
But Hong Dali didn’t look at it this way. He felt very strange and asked, “Who says I’ve sold these two projects? I didn’t!”
“Haven’t you signed the contract just now? Isn’t that considered selling them?” Tang Muxin was still feeling that it was quite a pity, but very soon, her eyes lit up. “Could it be that you have other plans?”
“Nah, I don’t have any plans.” Hong Dali then instructed Ling Xiaoyi. “Xiaoyi, buy another toy factory and electronics company. Actually, I’m rather curious. Why did that person insist on buying these two companies? It’s so cheap to buy from other people…”
Tang Muxin: “…” Ling Xiaoyi: “…”
Gosh, they thought too simply of this matter! Instincts told them that Hong Dali wouldn’t handle them after selling these two projects, but indeed, though they sold the toy factory and electronics company, they could still buy another! Why couldn’t they think of such a simple logic?!
Just then, Hong Dali was still mumbling, “I’ve only spent 50 million back then to buy these two companies, and they actually bought them for 2 billion. Are their heads stuck in the door…”
Tang Muxin: “…” Ling Xiaoyi: “…”
Not only had the heads of all the company members been stuck at the door, but our heads have also been stuck at the door as well, we haven’t even figured out such a simple logic!
“But one thing he said is quite true.” Hong Dali touched his chin, then mumbled, “It’s quite nice to buy a yacht to sail the seas and play. And it just happens that we’re having our summer vacation. It’s too much of a waste to keep staying here throughout such a long vacation… It’s decided then! I’ll buy a ship and go out to sea to play!”
Buy a ship! Set sail! Play!
Tang Muxin was instantly agitated. This was big spending! With Dali’s exceeding luck, who knows what good things he’d find in the sea. Even if he didn’t discover anything good, even if he was planning to build ships or whatnot, that’d do as well! It’s all money! Big prospects of earning money!
“Dali,” Tang Muxin stretched out her soft and supple little hands and pulled Hong Dali’s sleeve, shaking it as she wheedled. “When are you planning to buy a ship? It’s the sea, with sunlight and the beach, let’s hold a party or something on the yacht as well, how nice would that be!” The reason the little lass was so anxious was that the Bureau Chief didn’t let Hong Dali touch cars, but wouldn’t it be safe if he touched ships and set sail instead? That was totally great news! As for the price of the yacht or whatnot, how much would it cost? Dali spent 50 million to buy the two companies and sold them for 2 billion! 2 billion!
Ling Xiaoyi nodded fiercely by the side as well. To be honest, the warm sunlight, golden beaches, and clear blue sea were really attractive to girls, especially since they were following this Young Master Hong Dali. Would their exuberance be lacking when they went out?
“Xinxin, Xiaoyi, help me think about what kind of ship will be suitable for me to buy.” Hong Dali grinned and said, “I want a big one, it’s boring if it’s too small.”
“Dali, you don’t need to buy too big a yacht, right?” Tang Muxin asked. “We don’t have so many people.”
“I’m called Dali, Dali[. Means Big Strength]! I must use the biggest one!” Hong Dali resolutely objected. “Anyway, I don’t care, I want the big one. It must be big, I won’t settle for a small one!”
“Alright, alright. I’ll just listen to you, OK?” Tang Muxin stopped talking…
Ling Xiaoyi checked for the information, and very soon answered, “Young Master, currently, the more suitable yachts are the Italy Monte Carlo yacht—it’s 30.85 meters long, and the price is 3 million yuan—and the Sunseeker 130 Sport—it’s 39.12 meters, and the price is 4.2 million yuan.”
“Too small.” Hong Dali listlessly said, “I want a bigger one, a bigger one!”
“Fifty-six meters long Perini Navi two-masted ship Rosehearty, selling price is 40 million—what about this one?” Ling Xiaoyi carefully asked, “A 56-meter yacht should be fine, right?”
“Too small, still too small, not exuberant enough…” Hong Dali humphed. “I’m a prodigal who spends 2 billion or so in a matter of minutes…”
“Blohm+Voss Eclipse—162.5 meters long, with a width of 22 meters. Its highest speed can reach up to 16.5 knots. Able to carry 190,000 liters of fuel. This one is quite good.” Ling Xiaoyi wiped off her sweat. “The price is 96 million. This is more suitable for your status, Young Master!”
Tang Muxin fiercely nodded her head by the side. A 160-meter long yacht, that’d be considered a superyacht. There weren’t many of them throughout the entire Heavenly State. There were only tens of them at most.
But Hong Dali was still dissatisfied. “It’s still too small…”
Ling Xiaoyi fiercely wiped her sweat. Looks like Young Master is really planning to buy a big one. Thus, she continued looking. “Something bigger than this would be a cruise. Let me search…” Very soon, Ling Xiaoyi found one. “Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas, it can be said to be the largest state on the sea. It’s 361 meters long, 66 meters wide, 72 meters above the waterline, able to reach a tonnage of 225,000 tons, it has a total of 16 stories of decks and 2704 passenger cabins, able to carry 6360 passengers and 2100 crew members. The price is 440 million. MSC Magnifica, the largest passenger cruise in history which was built by Europa ship companies. It’s praised as being the city on the sea. The total length of the cruise is 333.3 meters, and it weighs 137,936 cubic tons. It has a total of 18 stories of decks and 1637 passenger cabins. It can contain as many as 3,959 passengers. Price is 420 million.” After saying these,
“Still not cool enough…” Hong Dali was finally a little more interested. “Are there any others? Even bigger ones? I’m prepared to spend 2 billion, these two are too small…”
“Even bigger ones would be aviation carriers!” Tang Muxin screamed. “Dali, you’re not going out to fight a war!”
“Aviation carriers?!” Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Hong Dali was instantly invigorated. “This is good, this is good! Xiaoyi, quickly help me to liaise and see whether there are any of them on sale! I want an aviation carrier!”
Damn it, driving an aviation carrier out to play?! Are you going for a tour or to declare war!
Ling Xiaoyi perspired profusely, but as Hong Dali’s number one lackey, she naturally couldn’t object to it. “This… Young Master, I need to ask in detail. I won’t be able to find details about aviation carriers on the internet.”
“Mm, go and ask. I don’t need the listed ones, the retired ones will do. I’m not going to fight a war.” Hong Dali was very satisfied with this idea. Of course, he wouldn’t possibly buy an aviation carrier that could be used for war. Or else, Uncle Chief would probably be the first to kill him!
Ling Xiaoyi instantly went out to ask about the aviation carrier.
Alas, just then, the System’s reminder sounded two more times. There were two more lackeys with 100% loyalty!
“Awesome!” Hong Dali said.
Very soon, Ling Xiaoyi walked back. With her whole body soaked, her fragrance was exuding out. “Young Master, I’ve asked. Currently, Merika’s side has two retired Nimitz Class aircraft carriers. They are the CVN-69 Eisenhower and the CVN-70 Carl Vinson. Length: 333 meters. Width: 76.8 meters. Largest width: 41 meters. Tonnage: 98,500 tons(full capacity). Speed: 30 knots and above. The manufacturing price is 4.5 billion USD, but because it’s retired, all the weapon systems have been removed, and now only the outer shell is left. The selling price stated from the Merika military side is 630 million USD per ship. Converted to yuan, it’s around 740 million.”
After saying these, Ling Xiaoyi had cold sweat all over. Don’t buy it. If you buy an aviation carrier to go out and play, it’ll scare people to death…
But very obviously, Ling Xiaoyi’s prayer didn’t work. Hong Dali not only wanted to buy it, but he wanted to buy the two of them at once. “Oh, the price is not bad. Help me liaise with them, I’ll take the two of them for 1.5 billion. I’ll get them!”
Tang Muxin: “…” Ling Xiaoyi: “…”
Damn!
Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi were both soaked with sweat.* Is Dali planning to scare people to death! You can’t do it this way! Aviation carrier, that’s an aviation carrier! And he even bought two of them at one go! Is he planning to buy two aviation carriers to bomb and sink the other one once he has the money?*
But since Hong Dali had said so, what else could Ling Xiaoyi say. Silently tears rolled down her face, and by her ear was the sound of a camel’s bell. Anyway, these 2 billion was akin to other people giving it to them for free. Thus, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. Buy it!
Ling Xiaoyi instantly went out to do the liaising, but Hong Dali still felt that it was not exciting enough. Thus, he continued to instruct. “Oh right, Xiaoyi. Now that I think about it, Li Yang and the rest bring hundreds of thousands of cash when they go out. This is quite inconvenient. Why don’t I change their rewards to something else?”
Ling Xiaoyi was completely speechless. She cautiously said, “Then Young Master, you’re planning to…”
“Um… Go and buy some gold for me as well.” Hong Dali thought for a while. “Gold is good. In the future, I’ll reward them with golden bricks!”
Alright, initially he rewarded them with yuan, and now Young Master would give a few golden bricks. They could also serve as tools for self-defense!
