90: Planning to buy a yacht
He said to Chen Wen, still sprawled on the bed.
"Yeah! The bed's great, but the bed-making skills are average. You can tell it's a rich kid's work!"
"Get out of here! I've never made a bed for anyone else! It's your honor to sleep on a bed I made with my own hands!"
"Yes, yes, yes, is a bed made by Young Master Chen something just anyone can sleep on?"
"Only a handsome guy like me is qualified to sleep on it, hahaha!"
After some playful banter, the brothers went to the deck, gathered around tables, and started drinking.
To be able to sit with three or five close friends on the enchanting Baiyun Lake at night, drinking fine wine and discussing worldly affairs and matters of the heart, truly is one of life's great pleasures!
Everyone put aside their usual busyness and stress, fully enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
They shared interesting stories from their lives, discussed literature and art, or reminisced about beautiful times past...
They communicated their thoughts and feelings without restraint.
In such a peaceful and beautiful environment, their souls also felt a sense of purification.
A gentle breeze brushed their faces, bringing a touch of coolness; the distant sound of the wind and the splashing of boats moving through the water intertwined to form a beautiful symphony.
It made them immerse themselves in it, feeling the gifts of nature and experiencing the warmth of friendship.
Perhaps, this is the simplest yet most precious happiness in life!
No need for excessive luxury and complexity, just a few like-minded people by your side, sharing this tranquility and joy.
In this noisy and superficial world, how could one not feel grateful for such moments of peace and comfort?
As they chatted, the topic gradually shifted from land to the sea.
Linhai City is a top-tier coastal city.
Both its fishing and industrial sectors account for a significant portion of the national economy.
Chen Xiangbei had originally planned to rent a boat to go fishing because he didn't have much savings at the time.
But now it's different; his savings are close to twenty-five million.
He plans to buy a yacht for both fishing and leisure within twenty million, which can be used for both fishing and recreation.
After all, his most direct way of generating income is still primarily through fishing.
Marine resources are far greater than land resources, whether it's economic fish or Ornamental Fish, they are at the top of the pyramid.
He said to the Chen Wen brothers.
"You guys have more experience than me. Do you have any yacht recommendations? Ideally, a multi-purpose yacht for both leisure and fishing."
"I'm thinking that fishing will be banned on Baiyun Lake in the near future, so I'm preparing to move to the sea."
Chen Wen was also surprised when he heard him ask this.
He didn't expect that Chen Xiangbei, a fishing enthusiast, would be so rich. You know, a yacht usually costs several million or more.
Especially the type he needs, a multi-purpose yacht for both fishing and leisure, starts at tens of millions.
"I do know someone, but I just want to know if it's not worth it for you to buy a boat specifically for fishing?"
Chen Wen voiced his doubts.
"Sigh~ There's no such thing as losing money. I just love fishing and also want to experience the fun of a yacht."
"The main thing is that I have some spare money that's just enough to buy a yacht, of course, it's just an ordinary one, I can't afford the expensive ones," Chen Xiangbei replied.
"So what's your budget?"
"Not much, anything within twenty million will do."
"Pfft!!"
Chen Wen instantly spat out his drink when he heard the words "twenty million" and "not much."
"You're saying twenty million isn't much?! How much is considered a lot then?!"
"Do you know that twenty million can buy a pretty good house within the Second Ring Road in Linhai City!"
Chen Xiangbei also realized he was exaggerating a bit. After all, this money was his income in less than a month, which is something ordinary people couldn't understand.
"Oh, I saved up this money for a long time. I happen to have plans to go out to sea often, and renting a boat isn't worth it, so I just have to take it out and buy one."
"I have a friend whose family runs a Yacht Club. His family has channels for buying yachts. I can introduce you two then."
"Okay, but it will have to be after a while. I have something urgent to do recently and need to go on a long trip."
"I'll find you when I return to Linhai after a while."
"No problem, find me anytime you're back."
"Come on, let's have one!"
"Cheers!"
...
By the time the three of them returned to the cabin to rest, it was already close to 12 o'clock at night.
Chen Wen and Zhao Hu, these two brothers, were already drunk and were sound asleep on the air mattress.
Although Chen Xiangbei had also drunk a lot, he was still sober at this time.
His strong physical fitness gave him the ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk and ten thousand cups without falling.
He was currently replying to Boss Ouyang's message.
The previous batch of fish hadn't been completely sold. Only that top-quality fish and a small portion of other fish were sold.
The remaining fish from the second batch were sold today, totaling 118,600 yuan.
He calculated yesterday's bill, twenty percent belonged to Boss Ouyang, which was a total of 73,700 yuan.
Adding today's 23,720 yuan, the total was 97,420 yuan. Chen Xiangbei rounded it up to 100,000 yuan for him.
After calculating, he transferred the money to Boss Ouyang and left a message: Boss Ouyang, the money for these two days has been transferred to you. The extra amount is for your hard work.
The reason he also gave him today's money was because he had already confirmed that when the System settled, it had already excluded the part that didn't belong to him.
So there was no need to continue delaying. Settling early was also a comfort to Boss Ouyang.
After dealing with everything, he put down his phone and lay quietly on the air mattress, looking at the cabin ceiling.
[Ding, System settlement begins: Host's income today +118,600 yuan, average hourly wage +14,825 yuan, System reward amount 2,253,400 yuan, Intelligence +0.02, Settlement Points +300. Please continue to work hard!]
Unknowingly, it was already past 12 o'clock at night, and the System's settlement prompt sounded on time.
"Tong Zi Ge, open the System panel."

Looking at the System panel, Chen Xiangbei felt a wave of emotion.
From a recent graduate, a nobody, he had transformed into a multi-talented individual with so many Advanced skills.
And this only took less than a month. He felt as if he had experienced many things.
