They wanted to take the yacht driver's license test, and Chen Mo didn't need to re-study, he only needed to change his driver's license... So he found a person who knew these things and gave him more than a thousand dollars to help him run away, that is, to lead the way. By the way, Cohen
We called them together and set off to Sanya Maritime Safety Bureau...
The process of changing a yacht driver's license is similar to the process of changing a car driver's license. Chen Mo had to take a written test and Cohen took an interview. The two of them obtained the A2E yacht driver's license on the same day, which allows them to drive yachts under 20 meters at sea.
"Go to the Yacht Trade Center and have a look." Chen Mo put his arm on Cohen's shoulder and smiled: "Have you ever thought about which yacht you want?"
"The yacht I had before was quite good, but it's a pity..."
"I seem to be a stingy person. Go over and see if there are any first boats. You can just drive away." Chen Mo rolled his eyes and called Didi from the Internet. He walked outside the Maritime Safety Bureau, and the Didi car drove away.
Came over.
It’s a Maserati Quattroporte…
"Hi, here." The driver was a young man with good looks and a look of excitement on his face.
Chen Mo clearly called a Volkswagen Sagitar, so he walked over and asked, "Did we call it Didi?"
"My Volkswagen is out of gas. I'm driving a Maserati to Hongzhou Road."
Chen Mo nodded.
"Get in the car."
Chen Mo and Cohen smiled at each other and sat in the back seat: "Driving a Maserati on Didi, won't you lose money?"
"I'm just running around and hooking up with girls. Are you here for a trip?" the young man asked, occasionally glancing at the mobile phone gimbal he placed on the console...
This...could it be a live broadcast?
"Travel." Chen Mo glanced at his mobile phone and saw that it was really live broadcast.
Driving live broadcast, I remember it seems that it is not allowed, it will be fined 200 and demerited with 2 points...
"How does it feel to ride in a Maserati?" the young man asked proudly.
"General." Chen Mo said, "Are you live broadcasting?"
The young man rolled his eyes: "Well, it's on a small platform."
"It is illegal to drive while broadcasting live."
"It's okay, as long as you don't report me. I will broadcast on a small platform, a small anchor, and there will be dozens of viewers in the live broadcast room."
faint!
There was nothing to say all the way, and the young man kept talking to himself. On the way to Hongzhou Road, Chen Mo directly scanned the QR code on WeChat to pay, and got off the bus...
There are yacht dealers everywhere here. Chen Mo made an appointment with a yacht agency in the morning. After getting off the car, he made a phone call. A beautiful woman in professional attire trotted out.
Regardless of domestic or domestic yacht dealers, the number of existing boats they hold is not large. Basically, if you like a yacht, negotiate a good price, and the dealer will help you get it back...
"Ms. Luo?" Chen Mo went over and asked.
"Mr. Chen?"
"What boats are there?" Chen Mo said.
Chen Mo looked too young. Seeing him, Luo Xia was a little disappointed, but looking at Cohen next to Chen Mo, she directly regarded Cohen as a buyer and saluted to Cohen: "Please follow me..."
Most current boats over 15 meters are used second-hand boats.
Only new arrivals are available for small speedboats...
However, just like the United States, the financial crisis suddenly struck, and some newly purchased yachts were ready to be sold... But the system in the United States is different from that in China.
In the United States, you pay a down payment. If the owner doesn't want the yacht halfway through the process, the dealer will bear the responsibility. Some even haven't completed the transfer... But here, all second-hand transfers are completed.
There is only one such yacht in Sanya, and it was put up for sale just after the ownership transfer was completed. However, it has been driven a few times... It is a yacht produced in Xiangjiang, with a price of 30 million yuan and more than 30 meters.
I went over and took a look, it was too long.
Such a yacht needs at least one engineer and one captain...that is, it must be equipped with at least two crew members before it can go to sea. If Chen Mo and Cohen buy a yacht, they will buy it for their own leisure and drive it for fun. The yacht is too big
, actually it’s not pleasant at all.
There are also several ships docked at other ports...
"What about that yacht?" Chen Mo asked.
"It's too big." Cohen shook his head and suddenly showed a hehehe smile: "I don't mind if you plan to give me that yacht."
"Okay, let's go through the formalities for this guy." Chen Mo smiled and looked at Ms. Luo.
Ms. Luo was startled, and so was Cohen...
When Ms. Luo smiled, Cohen waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no... I was just kidding, a 33-meter yacht is too big. My ideal yacht is 12 meters by 20 meters. It does not require a sailor to drive it out to sea.
of."
Chen Mo spread his hands and said: "You must have a boat, why don't you order one."
"Ordering a yacht is too troublesome. It's easy to buy a current yacht. I don't mind using a second-hand yacht. They are all yachts anyway." Cohen spread his hands and said: "Ms. Luo, show us other yachts."
There are many yachts in Sanya, and there are also quite a few yachts entrusted to agents for sale.
After looking at the boats one by one, Cohen chose a few, but couldn't make up his mind. Finally, he came to the Mid-Levels Sailing Terminal. Ms. Luo introduced two yachts that the owners had commissioned for sale...
"How much does this Hatteras cost?" Cohen asked.
"RMB 21 million. This is a yacht that entered China in September 2017. It is equipped with a 1,450-horsepower twin engine. The maximum speed is 41 knots and the cruising speed reaches 21 knots..."
Hatteras is a luxury fishing boat, 17 meters long and 5.2 meters wide. Chen Mo has seen several of this yacht in Hawaii...
"21 million is the landing price?" Chen Mo asked.
"Yes."
From the look of Cohen, he liked this yacht very much: "How much cheaper can it be?"
"This... I'm asking the owner of the ship."
21 million, more than three million US dollars... not bad.
This yacht, with high configuration options, costs more than three million in the United States, and has a high value retention rate. After two or three years, the depreciation will not exceed 20%. Most Americans like this kind of yacht and can drive it.
Go fishing for big fish in the deep sea.
Chen Mo also roughly knows the price of a yacht in China. When foreign yachts enter the country, taxes account for about 44% of the price of the yacht, plus shipping costs...
The yacht that arrived in China in September 2017 has depreciated by almost half in just a few years. In fact, because of the different hobbies of wealthy Chinese, most wealthy people do not like yachts of this shape...
The depreciation rate of second-hand yachts has always been very high. It is very normal for them to depreciate by half or more than half.
Chen Mo helped negotiate the price. After all, it was Chen Mo who paid the price. Finally, the price was negotiated at 19.5 million yuan, and he made an appointment to come over to test drive the yacht early tomorrow morning...
"Boss, you really gave me 19.5 million yuan?" Cohen was a little uninterested and felt that Chen Mo was too generous.
19.5 million yuan, which is less than three million U.S. dollars. Counting the share awards given to him before, the total reward he received was less than four million U.S. dollars. It’s not much.
Chen Mo basically had no contribution to the Hawaii project. It was all handled by Cohen. He suddenly earned himself 900 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 6 billion yuan... Anyway, Chen Mo is very generous to people who can make money for him.
Will be stingy.
"Do you think it's not enough?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"No, no." Cohen chuckled and said, "Thank you, boss."
Cohen has been in China for a long time and is used to the RMB settlement method. A 19.5 million yuan yacht is an absolute status symbol in China.
And in China, luxury goods are expensive. The normal cost of living is much lower than in the United States...
