Chapter 262 Accompanying each other through the air

"You're really not afraid of me taking screenshots."

Han Yi covered his chest with a frightened expression on his face.

“Isn’t it possible that there aren’t too many photos of people making faces on Google?”

Barbara Pavin, who succeeded in the hit, looked up to the sky and laughed contentedly. The sun was brighter than the sun outside the TV window at this time.

Han Yi is good at using his language talent to tell cold jokes to heat up the atmosphere, while Barbara likes to use her flexible body language and supermodel-level expression management to make all kinds of funny gestures to make people laugh.The two talented men and women are indispensable pistachios that make their respective circles of friends laugh and cry.

"Good morning!"

Barbara narrowed her eyes and waved energetically to Han Yi on the screen, then placed her phone on the sink and continued to clean her face with Neutrogena makeup remover wipes.

Barbara doesn't have the habit of sleeping with her makeup on. No matter how tired or sleepy she is, she has to take off her makeup before taking a rest.Using makeup remover wipes when she wakes up early is just a little known hobby of hers.It smells good and is more effective than ordinary wipes or water.

"In the morning... well, Barbara, you might want to pull the camera up... or put on another layer of clothing."

Han Yi was about to say good morning to Barbara when his pupils suddenly shrank and his breathing became sluggish.

He was very sure that Barbara's Facetime call this time must have been a whim, because... the Hungarian girl was only wearing a short pajama vest that was too thin at the moment.

Why do you say it is too thin?

In addition to not covering the abdomen, the two most important points are also clearly visible.

Well...it must be freezing in New York this morning.

"Oh, what's this, hashtag - free the nipples!"

Barbara Pavin looked down and shrugged, looking unconcerned.

"Don't act like it's your first time meeting them, sir."

Barbara showed her little fangs, raised her eyes with a very naughty smirk, and looked at the screen again.But she was far from as free and easy as she thought. When her eyes met Han Yi's somewhat dull but extremely focused eyes, Barbara felt that her cheeks suddenly turned into the hood of a sports car that was accelerating at full speed, and began to behave in an unimaginable way. The speed became boiling hot.

"Great, now you made it weird."

After saying these words, Barbara turned and ran back to the bedroom. She grabbed a gray jacket and put it on her body. She tilted her head and thought about it, then zipped it to the top and walked back to the bathroom.

Halfway through, she stopped again, quietly lowered the zipper halfway, straightened the folds of her clothes and cuffs, and then reappeared in front of the camera.

"It's nothing in the first place, it's all your fault." Barbara snorted through her nose and shook her head with hatred, "Man."

"How can you blame me!" Han Yi widened his eyes and pretended to defend himself, "It's like I... put on a pair of underwear when I woke up in the morning, and then showed it to... No, normally no one would Facetime Take a photo of your lower body."

"Sex addicts like you do."

Knowing that Han Yi wanted to change the subject by telling cold jokes in a serious way to make her laugh, Barbara still let him succeed.

"Why am I a sex addict again?"

"Remember it yourself...forget it, don't talk about it."

If you agree to draw a clear line and become friends again, don't go into his troubled waters again.Barbara, who warned herself seriously again in her heart, shook her head and stopped talking.

"Show me the yacht." Barbara Pavin drew a circle in mid-air with her index finger, "I'll help you as a reference."

"Row."

Han Yi nodded cheerfully and got out of bed.Among the people he knows and is close to, supermodel Barbara Pavin, who travels around the world all year round and has been working in this state for more than ten years, is indeed the most suitable to provide him with reference advice on luxury goods consumption.

The degree of authority is second only to Antoine Gachet, the former CEO of the Rothschild Heritage Group.

"Now, look, there is a massage pool outside the master bedroom, and next to it is a sunken seating area."

"It looks pretty good... What's that piece at the front?"

"That's the main deck. It's said that you can use it to store things that don't fit in the cargo hold."

"Is there anything that can't fit in the cargo hold?"

"Yes, for example...the third tender, or something like that." Han Yi thought for a moment and chuckled, "If I were so hospitable."

"do you have?"

"I don't even have that many friends." Han Yi told the truth, "When the salesperson, Chris Callahan, told me that this yacht can accommodate up to 18 people, what I was thinking was, where should I go? Find so many people to ride the boat with.”

"Then why did you buy such a big one?" Barbara asked while applying facial essence on her face. "If you only use it personally and only occasionally, just buy one that is less than a hundred feet tall." Yes, there are many cool models. Or just rent it directly. I know many people do this. They rent a boat every year and enjoy a different taste every year."

"I... prefer exclusive use and don't like sharing." Han Yi couldn't tell the truth to Barbara, so he... settled for the next best thing and shared the truth with Barbara.

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Barbara raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at the phone screen.

"Moreover, when I have a choice, I am only willing to look for the best and don't want to settle for anything less."

"You only want to see the best, right?" Barbara repeated in a low voice, with a faint smile on her lips, "But even if you have the best, you can't give full play to her role. If you give her the best arrangement, you will feel a loss after a long time."

In the English context, things like yachts can be referred to by feminine terms.

This is normal, and Barbara must have no other meaning when using it this way.

"That's why I arranged this trial voyage in advance." Han Yi nodded and replied.

Just like buying a car, many buyers always want to take their future baby out for a spin before signing a contract and make the final decision based on the actual driving experience. The same is true for buying a yacht.The process of test driving is a key step in finding the right boat for top consumers who are willing to spend tens of millions of dollars.This is the best way to know if the boat can truly meet the needs and meet safety standards.

Therefore, before arriving in Monaco, Han Yi instructed Antoine Gachet to book a trial voyage with Moran Yacht & Ship in advance.Generally speaking, whether it is direct sales from a shipyard or an agent from a brokerage company, they will not directly pull the boat you want to buy out of the port warehouse and put it into the water to take you for a walk.For each publicly sold model, the shipyard will set aside several special trial ships, like model rooms, with unified interior decoration for customers to experience.

99% of customers who buy yachts are basically in the same situation and follow the same process.

But Han Yi is different.

The boat he was interested in was a customized model for a billionaire. Every detail from the keel to the swimming pool was customized.

Moran Yacht & Ship, it is simply impossible to get the same model of trial boat from Lusen Shipyard...Nothing close to it can be found.For a superyacht with a hull length of more than 250 feet, such as the TV, Lu Sen received an order to build one.Specializing in building a yacht worth 141 million U.S. dollars, leaving it in a warehouse doing nothing but providing customers with a trial sailing experience. This kind of money is too much to burn, even for a shipbuilding giant with a history of [-] years. Can't do it.

In short, if you want to truly experience the TV number, there is no other way than to board this big guy and really take a spin.

Fortunately, although the total number of people attending the Monaco Yacht Show was 4, most of them had to wait until the public opening day on the second day before entering the venue. None of the VIP customers invited to participate on the first day made a second request. Specially visited TV number.

The market price is US$1.3 million, and the special price at the exhibition is US$9200 million. It is rare to meet a super rich man who can spend such a large sum of money to purchase a yacht every year.Therefore, after several days of communication and negotiation, Moran Yacht & Ship, on behalf of the yacht owner Azcaraga-Jean, agreed to Han Yi’s request for a sea trial.

From Monaco to Nice, and then from Nice to Monaco, a round trip in this small area on the Côte d'Azur, including departure and entry, takes a total of two hours.Han Yi originally wanted to pay the rent on a daily basis according to the market price, but the generous Azcaraga waved his hand and directly waived all fees, including the fuel cost for this voyage.

Why not?
Because Azcarrag-Jean and his family are wealthy enough to own four yachts at the same time, they really don't care about tens of thousands of euros.Strictly speaking, Azcaraga-Jean, who was born in 1968, is already the third generation heir of the Azcarraga family.Grandfather Emilio Azcaraga Vidal Ureta was born in 1895. After obtaining a license to distribute radios in Mexico in 1923, he gradually conquered the radio and television industry in Latin America and established a Spanish-speaking world. media empire.

Azcaraga-Jean himself is worth US$23 billion, and the wealth controlled by the entire family behind him is more than ten times that amount. For the current head of the Televisa Group, he is the "Rudolf Murdoch of Mexico" For me, getting rid of the five-digit trial flight bill is as easy as buying Han Yi a cup of Coke.

He wanted to use his generosity in exchange for Han Yi's happiness.

As for the reason for being so anxious to sell the yacht, in addition to the fact that the family already owns four yachts and cannot use them anymore, Azcaraga-Jean does not love sailing as much as his father Emilio Azcarraga-Milmo.The Azcaraga family, including the Eco sold in 1997, has owned a total of five yachts, all of which were built by Milmo Sr.Less than a year after his father's death, Azcaraga-Jean sold the Eco on which Milmo was riding on the day of his death - yes, the day of his death.As for this TV, it has been on the market two years ago. The brokerage agency changed from Moran Yacht & Ship to Edmiston and back again. After going back and forth two or three times, no interested buyer was found.It’s not that there is a problem with the quality of the boat itself, but that the luxury yacht trading market is like this. There are many celebrities who are willing to rent it for US$20 for a week, but there are only a few high-profile buyers who are willing to buy it outright for US$2000 million.

Not to mention $9200 million.

"So, he just sent the entire crew team here?" After hearing Han Yi's narrative, Barbara paused for a few seconds while dripping eye essence on her fingertips, and asked in surprise.

"It looks like that."

"A passionate seller."

"Not only that, he also told me through Chris Callahan that regardless of whether a deal is reached this time, if I have the opportunity to go to Mexico City, I must contact him and have dinner together, or wait for him to return to Los Angeles. .”

"He lives in Los Angeles?"

"I should spend half of my time in California. It is said that the rich in Mexico City have this habit. They live in the United States for half a year, in Europe for three months, and then go back to Mexico and stay in the office for three months... Why are you stuck there? ?”

"No card, I'm searching for his Los Angeles...Oh my God, 2.3 acres of Hollywood Hills estate...$6000 million." Two minutes later, Barbara's pretty face came to life on the screen again, "A powerful friend."

"A friend I am determined to make." Han Yi smiled at Barbara. Azcaraga-Jean was very good at doing business. He would try his best to make every relationship he thought was valuable, and Han Yi happened to be this type. businessman.Most great careers start from chance encounters, such as the fate between Han Yi and Azcaraga-Jean due to the purchase and sale of yachts.

Han Yi's future ambitions for the Latin music market do need a Spanish media giant like Televisa to realize them.

Such as Bad Bunny, Rosalia, and Karol G.

This is why Han Yi wants to try his best to facilitate this deal even if he doesn't feel much about the TV number.Spending a thousand gold to buy horse bones, buying things from people, and negotiating business with them at the same time. Han Yi feels that this model of meeting new partners is much more reliable than attending so-called cocktail parties and mountaintop parties, and the relationships built are much stronger. Much more valuable.

"So you arranged this trial voyage actually to convince yourself to like this yacht and to make the deal as pleasant as possible, right?" Barbara Pavin thought for a while and said, "But no matter what, you You’ve already thought about spending this money because you’re going to make this friend.”

"That's right." If there is no positive emotional feedback, this consumption will definitely make him regret if he does not make money or even loses some money.But since he doesn't like pastimes like yachting and sailing, he might as well choose another aspect that will help him the most.

"So, what now?" Barbara moved very quickly. In less than 10 minutes, she had already entered into the process of applying foundation. "What do you think?"

"It still doesn't feel too big." Han Yi sighed and answered truthfully.

"Have you ever experienced that massage pool?"

"I have experienced it...not to mention the swimming pool. I have visited the entire yacht." Han Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. "On this floor, there is an office and a bodyguard bedroom. Going to the rear, there is a Outside the indoor bar of the DJ booth is a circular outdoor restaurant and more viewing facilities. Above my head, there is also a helipad. Yes, this yacht can also park a full-scale helicopter. Helicopter The lobby, the bridge command room, the captain's bedroom, the first officer's bedroom, the watch crew's bedroom, let me think about what else..."

"Oh, on the top floor, there is also a restaurant and an outdoor swimming pool, connected to... yes, the second massage pool."

Han Yi, who was chattering, walked to the stern of the master deck and showed Barbara the increasingly distant Port of Heracles and a long strip of white waves towed by the TV at full speed.

"You have everything, but you're still not satisfied?" Han Yi felt that what Barbara said today always had another layer of metaphor, "It's very greedy."

"No, I do have everything, but...I really don't know under what circumstances it will come in handy. If I come to Europe alone, then I won't be able to use this ship at all...myself If so, I definitely want to spend every day in big cities, such as Paris and Rome, visiting museums and eating. Isn’t it more comfortable than floating on the sea?”

"Then... think about it from another angle." Barbara tapped the screen with the Armani foundation bottle in her hand, "Who do you most want to bring to Europe?"

"Family." Han Yi replied without hesitation, "Mom and grandma."

"Would they like life at sea?"

"Yes..." Han Yi rubbed his chin, "But they can't come here for too long. One or two weeks is the limit, and they may not come every year. If you want them to be happy, they might as well rent a yacht. Rent If you do, you should be able to rent something bigger, more exaggerated, and more luxurious than this.”

"What about the rest?"

"There is no one else." Han Yi shrugged, "No friend deserves me to buy a yacht for them. Business needs... As the saying goes, it is better to rent than buy."

"Where is my lover?"

"There is no lover." Han Yi rolled his eyelids, "Don't you know best? You taught me a lesson in Manhattan."

"That's not a lesson, it's a kind reminder." Barbara stuck out her tongue at the camera, "There isn't one now, but there will always be one in the future. Now, listen to me and close your eyes."

"uh-huh."

"Imagine you're in the top pool with...your partner."

"Ok."

"Did you see her face?"

"...I saw it."

"Okay, open it." Barbara clapped her hands, "Look, don't you know...wait a minute."

Observing Han Yi's slightly evasive eyes carefully, Barbara was slightly startled.

"It's not me you're seeing, is it?"

"To be fair, when I closed my eyes, it was your voice that sounded in my ears." Han Yi coughed twice in embarrassment and tried his best to defend himself.

The face that came to mind just now was indeed Barbara.

Mainly, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to vacation on a yacht with three other girls.

Xiaoru?If she was forced to come to South France for vacation at this time, she would probably stay in the office next to the master bedroom...working on her papers.

You Zhen?I'll probably be in that room too, just sending and receiving work emails instead of doing homework.

Maddie?There was no way she would just stay in the swimming pool with herself.Han Yi is very clear about the habit of this Changdao girl. When facing someone or something she likes, she will not let go as long as she sticks to him. She will definitely tie him up like an octopus, ask for a kiss and then gossip for a long time.

the most important is……

He had never seen the three of them in swimsuits before, so it was hard to wrap his head around it.

As for Barbara Pavin, let alone swimsuits, she has also seen birthday dresses.

It makes sense for a superyacht to match a supermodel, right?

"I told you it was dirty, but you still don't believe it." Barbara pointed to her temples and narrowed her eyes dangerously.

"Obviously you made me think about it!"

"I...well, I brought it upon myself."

Barbara Pavin held the sink with both hands, her face full of helplessness, but the smile lines at the corners of her eyes became softer.

"Then take me as an example. If it were you...and me, on this yacht, what do you think we should do now?"

"what……"

"Don't think that way!"

"You kinda brought that on yourself...Besides, can't that kind of thing also be done on a yacht?"

"...I mean, it can only be done on a yacht!!"
