Golden Fishing Village

After a few words of banter, the old man returned to the topic. He asked: "Are all the Qing Dynasty treasure notes in your hand worth 2,000 yuan?"

Ao Muyang concealed his inner happiness and said, "No, there are also five thousand coins. Is that a large amount of treasure?"

The old man said: "Yes, five thousand yuan is a large amount of money. Just wait for me. I will go to your village tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will go there for the autumn vacation. It's just a good time to rest. I will have to fly around again soon. Auction houses will start their autumn sales soon."

Regarding the specific information about the treasure banknotes, the old man did not tell him. Ao Muyang asked a few questions, but was prevaricated, which made him feel bad.

Another day later, Cheng Deming came to Longtou Village on a luxury yacht.

The yacht is 60 meters long and has three floors in total. It has smooth lines and a snow-white hull. It is like an elegant knight on the sea, exuding a noble atmosphere everywhere.

Ao Muyang initially thought that some rich man was visiting Longtou Village, but when the yacht docked at the pier, he saw Mr. Cheng Deming.

The old man is still dressed as usual, with an old cloth coat with double lapels and old cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. His gray beard and hair are fluttering in the wind. He is even more immortal than the Taoist priest Fujizi in the town.

Ao Muyang was happy when he saw this: "Hey, old man, why are you playing with the yacht?"

Cheng Deming smiled slightly and said: "Don't you think that I will go to your Longtou Village often in the future? I don't have a yacht. I just happened to be invited to participate in a boat show some time ago, so I ordered such a yacht."

Ao Muyang asked: "The yacht is nice, how much does it cost?"

Cheng Deming waved and said, "Come up and take a look. You are an expert in making a living by the sea. How much do you think this boat is worth?"

Ao Muyang was not polite, took off his shoes and got on the yacht.

There is a line of hidden letters on the hull of the yacht, Beneteau, which is its brand. Beneteau, a French luxury boat manufacturer founded in 1884, has long been famous in the world. The European middle class is most enthusiastic about this brand, and they all regard it as Proud to own one of their boats.

Beneteau's greatest strength is sailboat manufacturing. It is the world's leading sailing yacht manufacturer and the largest yacht manufacturer in Europe. Over the past 100 years of history, it has launched a large number of sailboats and yachts that are recognized as the most cost-effective. product.

As soon as he saw this brand and the length of the yacht, Ao Muyang knew that the price was more than 10 million.

He started his tour from the deck. There is a U-shaped social area on the deck, including a forward bar and an open sunbathing area. The decoration is simple and elegant, beautiful but not gaudy, beautiful but not vulgar.

After walking around the U-shaped social area, Ao Muyang noticed that the deck under the central coffee table was equipped with a glass bottom, which allows natural light to shine into the lounge below. The design is very clever.

In addition to the U-shaped social area, the wide main deck is also designed with an open layout, so that a salon can be held, with a marble coffee table placed on it, surrounded by four large armchairs and two sofas.

Continuing forward is the dining area of ​​the cabin, which provides a round dining table that can accommodate 10 people for dining at the same time.

For the interior, the yacht is made of natural curly maple wood, snowflake white marble, and is also decorated with amethyst, onyx, chrysoprase, jasper, etc. It is luxurious and majestic, and it is like a palace floating on the sea.

The codename of this yacht is "Waterfall" because its front deck adopts a waterfall design. The three-story cabins of the yacht are staggered, with smooth and gorgeous curves, like a three-story stepped waterfall.

In addition, the upper deck does have a waterfall, which is an internal circulation waterfall. Clear seawater flows down from the deck into the SPA bath below, which ensures the cleanliness and circulation of the bath water.

The infinity bathing pool is surrounded by large sunbathing pads and a forward seating area. After Ao Muyang passed by, someone pressed a button, and then an awning slowly unfolded. This awning was made of multi-colored crystals, which could block ultraviolet rays and retain excellent light.

After visiting around, Ao Muyang asked: "How is the horsepower of this ship?"

Cheng Deming smiled and said: "There are a pair of engines, which are 2012 horsepower MTU engines. The cruising speed is 14 knots and the top speed is 17.5 knots. The fuel tank is 34,000 liters. If you sail at an economical speed of 11 knots, you will have to fill up the tank in one go. Can sail 3800 kilometers!”

Ao Muyang grinned and said, "What a big fuel tank."

Cheng Deming smiled and said: "This is still ordinary. When I went to the boat show, there was a yacht with a fuel tank of more than 50,000 liters. It can run 7,000 kilometers after being filled with fuel!"

Ao Muyang sighed: "That would be enough to travel around the world. The price of this ship is 20 million, right?"

Cheng Deming smiled noncommittally and asked: "What unit are you talking about, US dollars?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Muyang was shocked: "Twenty million US dollars? One hundred and sixty-seven million yuan?!"

Cheng Deming laughed loudly: "Of course not, I'm kidding you. You can say that your guess is accurate, or you can say that you guessed incorrectly."

"Why do you say that?" Ao Muyang sighed helplessly. He knew that the old man had committed an old habit and started to play tricks again.

The old man said: "I can't say how much this boat costs. It can be said that it cost nothing, because I didn't pay for it. It can be said that it is worth 6,000 yuan, because indirectly I spent 6,000 yuan. Bought.”

Ao Muyang's mind turned around and it was easy to understand what the old man said about his profession: "You once bought something for 6,000 yuan and then exchanged it for this ship?!"

The old man smiled: "You are smart."

Since the suspense failed, Cheng Deming didn't beat around the bush. He said directly: "You guessed the actual price of this ship. It is 22 million RMB."

Ao Muyang was envious: "Old man, I know you are rich, but I didn't expect you to be so rich."

After selling gold and silver last time, his cash just reached the standard of 20 million, but it turned out that this was just a matter of rich people buying a yacht.

He remembered what Brother Shark said at the time: It's just tens of millions, it's nothing.

Indeed, for rich people, customizing a luxury car costs 10 or 20 million, and buying a yacht costs the same amount of money. The houses they live in even cost tens of millions. This money is nothing.

Cheng Deming waved his hand and said, "I don't have much cash, but I collected some interesting gadgets in the early years. This time I exchanged a landscape painting for the boat."

"Whose landscape painting?"

"Zhang Daqian."

Ao Muyang understood, and he said admiringly: "You received Zhang Daqian's authentic work for only 6,000 yuan?"

The old man was obviously very proud of his own wrist. He stroked the short beard under his chin and smiled slightly: "That was 6,000 in the 1990s. It was not a small amount of money at that time."
