132: First time swimming in the ocean

He suddenly felt a surge of passion, eager to own such a fishing boat and explore the vast ocean.

He said to the manager, "Manager, could you introduce each of these boats separately?"

"My absolute pleasure!"

"This fishing boat in front of you is our shipyard's most popular and classic fishing boat. It's 21 meters long, 6 meters wide, has a top speed of 38 knots, and can handle most sea areas."

"Its appearance is stylish with smooth lines, like an elegant gentleman on the sea. Advanced technology makes it as stable as a rock in wind and waves, providing safety for the owner."

"The interior space is spacious, the seats are comfortable, allowing you to fully enjoy the fun of fishing. Complete fishing equipment adds wings, helping the owner get a full harvest.

Whether venturing out alone or with friends, this fishing boat will bring you an unforgettable sea journey."

Chen Xiangbei felt it was quite good after hearing the introduction. Its appearance alone was very attractive to him. After all, men are visual creatures, and a cool appearance is enough to make one linger.

"What is the price of this boat?"

"12 million. If you need it, I can give you a discount, after all, you were introduced by a friend."

Chen Xiangbei heard this and thought the price was too affordable. His own budget was far from being reached, so he started calculating in his mind.

"Are there any fishing boats with better performance, higher safety factor, and greater carrying capacity?"

The manager immediately reacted, realizing that he hadn't taken a fancy to such a cheap boat at all; he was a big customer. He immediately said, "Yes, please step this way."

The manager led the three brothers to berth number 6 in the dock. A boat that was larger and more luxurious than the previous one was parked here.

The manager took them onto the boat and introduced it as they walked: "This fishing boat is called 'Royal One'. It was specially built by our shipyard for a rich man from a desert country, but for various reasons, that customer ultimately didn't take the boat, so it's been left here."

"This fishing boat is 48 meters long, has 5 decks, and is powered by 6 super engines of 600 horsepower. It is the fourth largest sports fishing boat in the world."

"Because it was specially customized, the boat has two freezer compartments, two live fish tanks, and three normal temperature compartments, which can meet all fishing needs."

"Its construction cost was 12 million, and the original selling price to that rich man was 22 million. If you can take it now, I'll give you a 10% discount."

Chen Xiangbei couldn't contain his excitement when he heard this price. This boat was simply tailor-made for him!

Not only him, but even Chen Wen and Zhao Hu on the side had their eyes gleaming, feeling an impulse to buy it!

Chen Xiangbei walked around the boat, returned to the manager, and said, "This is the one. When can I take the boat? And can you help me with some of the navigation procedures?"

Upon hearing this, the manager's joyful expression was evident. "You can take it immediately after payment. As for all other procedures, our shipyard will handle them for you within two hours. You can drive away with peace of mind, provided you have a driver's license, of course!"

"Don't worry about that, I have a boat driver's license. Just help me complete the other navigation-related procedures, and let's finalize the transaction."

Soon, the few of them returned to the reception center.

Chen Xiangbei transferred the 19.8 million payment to the shipyard's account, and then the manager personally went to handle the relevant procedures for him.

Because the shipyard was the largest and strongest in Linhai City, they had connections for the relevant procedures, so all the paperwork was completed in less than two hours!

The shipyard held a simple launching and handover ceremony for them, symbolizing smooth sailing.

After the three brothers bid farewell to the manager, Chen Xiangbei drove this cool fishing boat, taking Chen Wen and the other person to ride freely on the vast sea!

The sea breeze gently brushed their faces, bringing a hint of coolness. The boat sailed steadily on the sea, and the roar of the engines seemed like their declaration of war on the ocean.

Chen Xiangbei focused on steering the wheel, his eyes full of confidence and excitement. Chen Wen and Zhao Hu stood excitedly at the bow, feeling the embrace of the sea breeze and admiring the vast and boundless ocean.

They sometimes cheered, sometimes exclaimed, fully enjoying the freedom and happiness of this moment.

'Royal One' left a beautiful wake on the sea surface, as if it were the trajectory of their pursuit of dreams.

The sailing speed of 'Royal One' was completely comparable to those sightseeing yachts, even faster. Whether in calm waters or turbulent wave areas, it was as stable as a sea-stabilizing needle.

After the test, Chen Xiangbei drove 'Royal One' to Chen Wen's friend's Yacht Club, where he planned to dock the boat.

Because the club provides professional maintenance and protection services for boats, only a small annual fee is required. Plus, since it was Chen Wen's friend's place, docking it here was reassuring.

When 'Royal One' approached Xinghai Yacht Club, Chen Wen's friend Liu Zixuan was already standing at the Fishermen's Wharf to welcome them.

After docking the fishing boat, Chen Wen, Zhao Hu, and Liu Zixuan hugged each other, and then introduced Chen Xiangbei to each other.

Liu Zixuan smiled and extended his hand to Chen Xiangbei, saying, "So you're the fishing master Wen-ge was talking about! I also really like fishing, take me with you sometime!"

Chen Xiangbei smiled and extended his hand to shake his firmly, saying, "No problem, let's go fishing together sometime. I'll trouble Liu Ge to look after my boat!"

"Oh~ we're all friends, no trouble at all. Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of it for you!"

After chatting for a while, Chen Xiangbei and the others came out of the Xinghai Club.

Since he still had something to do tonight, he and Chen Wen parted ways outside the club's main entrance.

"Wen-ge, Hu Ge, I still have something to do tonight. Thank you for accompanying me on this trip today. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

"Alright, you go ahead and get busy. We'll get together when you have time."

Chen Xiangbei took a taxi home. When he got back, it was already past 5 PM. Buying the boat took a whole afternoon, mainly because waiting for the procedures took a while.

After returning home, Chen Xiangbei went back to his room to prepare clothes for the program recording tomorrow night.

He wasn't sure if the program team had prepared clothes for him, so he had to prepare two sets himself, just in case the program team hadn't prepared any.

He couldn't just go on stage wearing casual clothes!

Just as he was thinking about how to match his clothes, Hu Dong's call came in. Chen Xiangbei answered the phone.

"Hey, Ba Yi, are you off work?"

"Not just off work, I'm laid off!"

"What's going on? Were you fired?" Chen Xiangbei asked in surprise, because resigning takes a month, so it was unlikely to be a resignation.
