Chapter 382: Visiting the Bai Family Again
Since you want to buy a boat, you have to buy it all at once.
First of all, if the ship is bigger, the various entertainment facilities inside will be more complete and it can accommodate more tourists. For example, after TVB was established, he was also prepared to take over the role of Miss Hong Kong as it was in history. Election, and if you want to make the Miss Hong Kong election more famous, sometimes you have to put in a lot of effort, such as carrying out a Hong Kong parade on the largest cruise ship in Hong Kong, which is also very publicity.
On the other hand, the bigger the boat, the higher the safety. As long as it does not encounter a super typhoon, it can be enjoyed safely, and super typhoons are easy to detect in advance.
After listening, Pierre said: "Mr. Yang, our company has not designed such a large private yacht. If you need it, we can simply expand the existing structure in proportion. , what do you think about redesigning the interior? ”
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "How long will this take?"
"About three months." Pierre said.
Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: "Well, after three months, I hope to see the drawings of the new ship."
Europeans also do things at a slower pace. After all, it is a developed country, and people will naturally not be willing to work too hard.
Naturally, we have to wait until the new ship is designed before discussing the price. This is the case for this kind of non-standard equipment. The manufacturer first Design, and then discuss it after the design is completed.
In the next few days, Yang Wendong took Bai Yujie to visit several shipyards in Germany, the United Kingdom, and Norway that can produce luxury cruise ships. The content was similar, customizing a large private yacht.
Because they are all customized. , so naturally there is no time in terms of time. Once we have the intention, we can talk about the rest later.
On February 2, Yang Wendong and Bai Yujie returned to Hong Kong again.
Before returning home, Bai Yujie naturally did not go to the Yang family. After Yang Wendong came back alone, Su Yiyi arranged for someone to pack the luggage and asked, "Brother Dong, how was the trip to Europe?"
< br>"Not bad, I saw some cruise ships." Yang Wendong added: "I also took some photos, you can take a look."
Bai Yushan also came over at this moment and immediately looked at the photos with Su Yiyi.
“Is the inside of this boat more luxurious than our home?” Su Yiyi said after looking at it for a while.
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Normally, the decoration of luxury cruise ships is no worse than that of luxury houses. Moreover, they have a professional team and they are in Europe, so they are definitely much better than those in Hong Kong."
Europe is the home of luxury goods. LV, Hermès, Chanel, Dior, and even many luxury car brands are all European. Even the United States, a real economic power, has difficulty participating.
Once the concept of a brand is formed, it is difficult for latecomers to catch up.
"I think they're all good." Su Yiyi said with a smile: "Then it's up to you, Brother Dong, to decide? I feel the same."
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Okay, maybe wait for one or two In a few months, people from these shipyards will come to Hong Kong with their drawings. Then we can take a look at them together.”
“Brother Dong, were these photos taken by Yu Jie?” Bai Yushan. He suddenly said: "This shooting technique looks just like her."
Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: "Yes, she took the pictures. If I took the pictures, it wouldn't look so good."
Photography is actually an art. Different people shoot the same thing from different angles, and the results are perfectly different. Even the light intensity will affect it. These are all relatively professional.
In this era, the cost of photography is very high, and those who can learn the basic knowledge of fur photography are either rich or noble. The Bai sisters all learned it when they were young, so Yang Wendong naturally cannot.
Su Yiyi smiled and said: "The shooting quality is really good. Why don't you take a pregnancy photo for us?"
"It's not bad." Bai Yushan agreed.
After a while, after looking at the photos, Su Yiyi whispered to Yang Wendong: "Brother Dong, since you and Sister Yujie are already together, you have to find time to marry someone else. You can't If she keeps doing this, she's not too young anymore."
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded naturally.
In the 1960s, the legal age in Hong Kong was 18 for men and 16 for women. If you were highly educated or more accepting of Western culture, you might get married later, but most of them got married around the age of 20.
Bai Yujie and Bai Yushan are both 22 years old. Especially Bai Yushan is pregnant for the second time. As younger sisters, the time has naturally come.
Su Yiyi said again: "But Brother Dong, the Bai family sisters know everything about you. You haven't made a fortune when I met you, so you can just take it all back. After that, you need to be cautious about this kind of thing, especially You are now a super rich man in Hong Kong."
"Yes, I know, don't worry," Yang Wendong agreed.
There are a lot of internal fights among wealthy families. Now that I know the three people well, it is better. If there are other people, it will be easy to get into chaos, especially now that I am famous, then women will come close to me in the future. You most likely know what you are doing.
However, he just didn't take it home.
The next day, Yang Wendong called Bai Yujie again, and after some tenderness, he told her the matter.
Bai Yujie's face was happy, but she still acted a little shy and said: "Then I will follow your arrangement."
"Yes, okay." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: " But now that you have entered the Yang family, you should stop working in school and just stay at home."
"Not working?" Bai Yujie asked, "Would that be too boring? Sister and Sister Yiyi both have children.”
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "You will also have it. The most important thing is to raise the next generation of children. As for your career, you can also have it. For example, Yiyi has her own clothing chain store;
Your sister's side is temporarily No, but she has been continuing to learn finance and various knowledge. "Well, I am not as studious as my sister," Bai Yujie said helplessly, "I don't like a lot of numbers." Yang Wendong laughed. Said: "That's okay. From now on, your sister will be responsible for teaching math, and you will be responsible for teaching the children's physical education. This division of labor is not bad."
"That's okay." Bai Yujie nodded and said.
Yang Wendong asked again: "Okay, I'll find a suitable time here and hold the wedding?"
"Yeah" Bai Yujie asked again: "But are you going to tell my parents? "
"Yes, this seems a bit" Yang Wendong also had a headache.
In this era, it is normal to have several wives, but a pair of sisters, or even twin sisters, is a little bit
Of course, there is no big problem
Two days later, on February 5, Yang Wendong also visited the Bai family. According to Chinese etiquette, a son-in-law also needs to visit his father-in-law's family before the New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival.
Three times a year, but now they are all one family, which saves a little time
The Bai family is naturally very polite to Yang Wendong. Although he is an elder, Yang Wendong's status, after all They are top-notch in Hong Kong, just like the natal relatives of high-ranking officials in ancient times. How can they dare to show off?
And this time he was planning to marry his second daughter, so Yang Wendong gave him enough gifts, including various supplements, high-end cosmetics, etc.
During lunch, Bai Qiwen was naturally attracted to Yang Wendong, his son-in-law. He was also very satisfied. Although it seemed a bit unfavorable to marry both daughters, it was also your wish and he couldn't object. So, after drinking a little wine, the conversation was in full swing.
The aftereffects of foreign wine were not very serious. After the two drank a little too much, they fell asleep for a while. When they woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon, they found that several women were already playing mahjong. The two men could only go outside. Playing with children in the small garden.
Yes, Bai Yushan and Bai Yujie have another younger brother. He is only a little over 1 year old now. He was born to Bai Qiwen's little wife, and the Bai family can be considered an heir.
"A Dong, want to smoke one?" Bai Qiwen asked.
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "I don't smoke, I don't like the smell of cigarettes."
"Haha, okay." Bai Qiwen said with a smile: "This cigarette is indeed not a good thing. People used to be too I was bored and had to do business, so I started smoking, and now I can’t quit even if I want to.”
"It is indeed difficult to quit smoking forcefully." Yang Wendong said: "But you can try to smoke less gradually."
In fact, the essence of tobacco and alcohol is that when people have little fun in life, they need something to stimulate them. Dopamine. Once you get hooked on this stuff, it’s hard to quit.
In his previous life, Yang Wendong didn't have this problem, because there were too many entertainment things in the electronic age, and he didn't need this kind of stimulation that hurt the body. Therefore, after time traveling, he also strictly controlled himself.
However, moderate alcohol has little impact on the body, and due to business needs, it’s okay to drink a little occasionally, but I will never touch cigarettes.
Bai Qiwen nodded, then walked to the downwind, lit a cigarette, and said: "From now on, I will entrust you to take care of my daughter."
"No problem." Yang Wendong nodded, and then said: "Yushan is living a good life now, and Yujie will be the same in the future."
"Well, OK, with your ability and character, I still You can trust it," Bai Qiwen said with a smile.
Just mobilizing ships to transport water to Hong Kong, such a great charity, is enough to make everyone in Hong Kong admire and feel grateful. Even the rich people at least do not have any ill intentions. This matter, at the very least, deserves a thumbs up.
"Haha, thank you." Yang Wendong smiled.
Bai Qiwen asked again: "A Dong, I see that you have invested less in real estate recently. Are you not optimistic about the real estate market?"
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "From 1958 to now, house prices in many places have increased more than three times, which is far beyond the limit that ordinary people in Hong Kong can afford;
Only overseas Capital is still entering Hong Kong, and the development of industry has brought a lot of wealth, so it is still holding on, and it may rise a little more, but I guess it won’t last long.”
“ Then I'll listen to you." Bai Qiwen said: "I also feel that the current housing prices are too expensive, so expensive that I don't dare to do it anymore."
Yang Wendong smiled again: "No. If you buy it again, I think you should sell it. Once the situation in 1957 occurs, you can quickly buy the bottom. "Bai Qiwen paused, looked at his son-in-law, and asked. : "Are you sure?"
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Yes, but you can wait a little longer. Just wait for a while. I, Changxing Real Estate, will do the same thing."
This kind of thing will not be kept secret once it starts, so It doesn't matter if you come out. Besides, many people still firmly believe that housing prices will continue to rise.
"Okay, then I'll wait." Bai Qiwen nodded, and then asked: "Adong, when are you going to marry Yujie, maybe sooner, Yujie is not young anymore. It’s not good to delay it any longer.”
“Well, it will probably be in March or April,” Yang Wendong said, “that is, about a month or two after the Chinese New Year. The wedding banquet will be at the Four Seasons Hotel.”
Now that I have my own hotel, although the money I earn is far less than that of several other important industries, it is also much more convenient for my personal life.
Whether it's a banquet, an important meeting, or other needs, etc.
Bai Qiwen smiled and said: "That's good."
PS: Please give me a monthly pass
