Chapter three hundred and forty eight: set off for fishing
There are many vacant houses in Lovely Ranch, and some of them are in good condition.
Back at the ranch, Chen Mo arranged a house for his father and Uncle Zhang in a lychee orchard near them.
The Cohen couple moved into another ranch house and became neighbors with Jack. Jack will be Cohen's assistant from now on, living closer to make it easier to work...
The house was prepared with clean sheets and bedding. After putting down their luggage, the group drove to the place where Chen Mo lived. Chen Xiao prepared a sumptuous seafood feast at home. Steamed large grouper, steamed king crab, spicy clams, oysters, lobster, etc.
Wait, a big table was set up.
"Wow, I'm so happy. Xiaoxiao, did you catch all these seafood?" Ellie's little nose moved like a rabbit, sniffing the aroma all over the table.
"My uncle caught the grouper. I bought the others..." Chen Xiao rolled his eyes: "There are no king crabs in Hawaii, where can I catch them?"
Ron looked at his silly daughter, covering his forehead, looking like he had a headache.
Chen Mo greeted Cohen and Britney: "Sit down, get ready to eat."
Father Chen looked at Ron, smiled, and said to Chen Mo: "Do you have any champagne? Open a bottle and let's have a good drink."
"Yes." Chen Mo went over and opened a bottle.
Champagne, paired with a table full of sumptuous seafood, don’t overdo it.
Ai Li had been eating spicy garlic oysters, and Chen Mo cut two king crab legs for her: "Eat something light."
"Oh." Ellie took the white tender king crab meat and dipped it in the sauce made of millet pepper... sweat.
She was the only one eating this lunch that was so spicy that the tip of her nose was sweating and her face was red. There is a time difference between California and Hawaii. They set off at two o'clock in the afternoon. When they got here, after eating, it was only after four o'clock local time.
…
After dinner, a group of people sat in the yard chatting and watching the sunset on the prairie.
"The Serenity has received seven tourists, and we will go fishing together tomorrow. If you have nothing to do, how about we go out to sea together?" Ron said: "We will stay at sea for one night."
"I don't have any problem." Chen Mo said.
"I want to go." Ellie wanted to go anywhere.
Father Chen and the others also want to go there...
Father Chen and Uncle Zhang have never fished in the sea before, but now that they are talking, they are already ready to do it.
"Uncle, if we only accept seven tourists and go to sea, won't we lose money?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
Ron spread his hands helplessly: "It depends on luck. We will also fish after we go to sea. If we can catch a good fish, we can maintain a balance of payments."
Tranquility is a 45-meter-long luxury expedition boat worth US$16.9 million. It is built with high-strength high-quality marine steel and has a full displacement design... It has a maximum endurance of 4,800 nautical miles and a full fuel tank reserve of 14,300 gallons.
According to the current price of marine diesel, Tranquility adopts an economical cruising speed. It is conservatively estimated that 1 nautical mile is about 6.7 US dollars.
That's it, it doesn't seem expensive.
But it is normal to travel hundreds of thousands of nautical miles after going to sea.
Then there are crew salaries, some other expenses, berthing fees, maintenance fees, etc.
The Serenity received seven tourists for two days and one night, and one trip to sea. The income from receiving tourists should be enough to pay for gas.
Now that we are in trial operation, we are not sure whether we can make money.
The yacht has 1 master bedroom, 6 guest bedrooms, and 6 sailor cabins.
The master bedroom has been converted into an executive suite. The price per night is 3,500 US dollars. For one additional person, it costs 500 US dollars. The executive suite has two bedrooms and can accommodate up to 5 adults, or 4 adults and two children. Children are half price...
…
The guest bedroom is an ordinary room, which costs US$1,500 per night, and US$500 for an additional person. It can accommodate up to 3 adults, or two adults and one child...
There are a total of 7 people on this trip, one executive suite for 4 people and two ordinary guest rooms for 3 people. The total income is US$8,500.
Everyone went to bed early in the evening.
This Christmas, Hawaii will be sunny and windy, and the weather will be good in the next few days.
The next morning, everyone woke up early.
Father Chen and Cohen also got up very early and were honking their horns outside...
Chen Mo got up early and took a cold shower. He grabbed a hat given by the Lamborghini Club and put it on, packed a few clothes, picked up a long-range hard-cast rod that could catch big fish, and then went out: "Chen Xiao, Ai Li
, hurry up."
Two women need to put on makeup...it takes half an hour for the woman to put on makeup. This is absolutely true.
Ron also drove over: "Ellie hasn't gotten up yet?"
"I'm up, I'm putting on makeup, I guess it will be a while." Chen Mo looked at his future father-in-law with a wry smile.
Ron chuckled and looked at the time: "It's still early, don't be in a hurry."
After waiting for a few more minutes...
"Ellie, Xiaoxiao... you are very beautiful. Come down quickly and let's go."
Cohen's wife sat in the car and looked at Chen Mo with a smile. She also took out her cosmetics and touched up her makeup.
Britney had long heard about Chen Mo from Cohen.
Cohen's salary in the bank is good, and his annual salary is hundreds of thousands. If he were still in Montana, his annual salary would be nearly half a million, plus year-end bonuses... his income would be very objective. But in San Francisco, if he wants to live in a
Even a nice house won't have much money left after a year. To put it bluntly, you have to plan your expenses when going on vacation.
Women are always more pragmatic than men...
Britney is very happy that Cohen is now working with Chen Mo, with private jets and luxury yachts. These are the kind of life that top people should enjoy... and Chen Mo is a good person, and he also values Cohen very much.
If it weren't for Britney's persuasion, Cohen might not have come to work for Chen Mo. At the very least, he would have gone through the normal resignation process...
The two women hurriedly put on makeup in the room and dressed up beautifully. Especially Ellie, with her delicate short hair, looked more mature and still slightly cute after makeup...
"What are you doing?" Ellie dragged an oversized suitcase over. She really didn't know why she was packing so many things.
Chen Xiao also packed a big box and carried one on his back.
"Everyone is waiting for you. Get in the car quickly and leave..." Chen Mo went over to take the suitcases of Ai Li and Chen Xiao and put them in the car.
The Mercedes-Benz G500 is okay and does not leak oil.
Two women sat in the back seat and chatted.
Talking about self-media companies, video content, and how to promote...
The more the two women chatted, the more animated they became, and they seemed to have a mutual affinity for each other, and they hated meeting each other so late.
"Xiaoxiao, I want to invest in your company. I also want to become the owner of Up..." Ellie said excitedly.
"First ask the head of your family to see if he agrees." Chen Xiao was sweating, as if he was overly excited.
Although Chen Mo doesn't mind being on camera, he doesn't particularly like it...
Ai Li is not an ordinary person. She has appeared in celebrity magazines before. It may not be good to draw media attention and bring out Chen Mo. Chen Xiao chuckled and did not agree to Ai Li.
Chen Mo saw Ellie's bulging cheeks in the rearview mirror: "I'll do whatever you want, as long as you have fun."
