Chapter 727 You can't imagine the happiness of the rich
When it comes to playing yachts, Gu Ao started playing when he was just the island owner in Seattle five or six years ago.
At that time, Gu Ao went to the Vancouver housing market with Ye Wan and caused a bloody storm, trapping those hardcore slaughter who were about to transfer to Vancouver. So he needed a yacht and a bunch of extravagant records showing muscles to support the storefront. He only wanted the most expensive things to buy, not the best.
Gu Ao still vaguely remembers that he bought a yacht in Portland, the "City of Roses" because Oregon is one of the few states in the United States that does not have any consumption tax at all, and buying a yacht there is much more cost-effective than Seattle.
It was also during that time that Gu Ao bought the world's first "Calolla Cold Beauty" rose potted plant that was successfully cultivated at the International Rose Expo. After he took the certification certificate to treat guests to the owner of the Seattle Island Mansion to show off. Because he couldn't help but was afraid of wasting his natural resources, he gave Ye Wan the rose entity that had no certificate and lost his soul.
A few months ago, Gu Ao gave Ye Wan a manor in Greenwich, Kang. Last month, when he and Mina lived in Kangzhou, they also visited Ye Wan's house.
In Ye Wan's yard, Gu Ao saw a rose planted on the ground. The buds and buds were also purple at the roots, and the tips were insufficiently pigmented and turned to a light pink. Gu Ao recognized it at a glance. It was the variety of "Calolla Cold Beauty" he gave to Ye Wan five or six years ago.
Unexpectedly, the other party had some experience in planting flowers. A rose can support it for so many years.
Many of the roses planted in pots are in the limit in three to five years. They are about to die, and are about the same size as the roses planted in pots. They are less than 1 meter tall in pots.
It was obvious that Ye Wan moved from the basin to the ground to raise it longer. And after so many years, she actually became as tall as her chest.
When Gu Ao saw this tree, he felt that his heart had been stabbed. Why bother? If he was raised to death, he would not feel guilty.
Well, it's a bit far.
Since I am now pampering Mina and playing yachts with Mina, why do I recall such a long time ago?
This time Gu Ao bought a yacht not to show off, but to play and to be comfortable, so naturally his wife prefers it. It’s not bad at all.
...
After only half a day, Gu Ao took Mina to sea after preparing his new yacht. In order to make the atmosphere more harmonious, he temporarily hired a big wave of girls, the helmsman and sailor, to drive the boat. In addition, he only brought a female secretary on the boat, and did not bring a male bodyguard.
In this way, Mina can relax and boldly show off her bikini on the boat, without fear of other men seeing it.
This is a very slender and elegant sailboat, with a width of only about three meters, not as wide as a bedroom. The cabin in the middle is about two meters, and only one bed can be placed in the width, and there are side decks of half a meter each on both sides.
The length of the hull is more than 20 meters, with an aspect ratio of more than eight times, and it is easy to be unstable by side waves, so a stable fin extends from left and right on the hull, connected to two torpedo-shaped pointed streamlined floaters, which is as stable as a trimaran.
The key selling point of Mina's choice of this boat at a glance is the design of the stern. The stern of this sailboat is an inverted U-shaped gap, which vacated a piece of about 1 meter wide, two or three meters long, and an arc-shaped area on the top.
This arc-shaped notch is about 1 meter lower than the sea level, and sea water will naturally pour in to fill the gap. However, because the total draft of the sailboat is about 1 meter 5, there is still a bottom under the gap. Guests on the boat can go here to bubble the sea water at close distance and enjoy sunbathing.
"It feels so good here. If you don't need to massage the pulse water, it's very comfortable to just rely on the natural flow of the sea water next to the boat."
Mina soaked in the inverted U-shaped notch at the stern for a while, and then she narrowed her eyes so comfortably.
The Provencal and Tuscan coastal buildings on the right shore slowly pass by, and the bright colors of Southern French and Italian styles are very pleasing to the eye.
After a few minutes, she felt a little worried about the sun and wanted to apply sunscreen. Gu Ao thoughtfully pressed the button on the railing next to her, and the telescopic awning at the top of the notch immediately stretched out to block the sunlight.
The female secretary Li Ruotong was also wearing Bini, prepared a cold drink dessert set meal, placed it on a two-foot-long wooden boat-shaped tray, tied it to the railing with nylon rope, and then put it down the water, and asked the boss and the boss lady to enjoy it: "Boss, drink some coconut ice, don't dehydrate after being sunburned for a long time."
Gu Ao and Mina casually picked up the coconut filled with slurries, took a few sips, and let out a long sip of the cool and refreshing air conditioner.
Mina couldn't help but lie in Gu Ao's arms for a while, while unconsciously slapping Chi Yan, as if she suddenly thought of some questions:
"Husband, why is this soft and elastic rubber air cushion on the edge of the gap in this small swimming pool? Are you afraid that the customers will hurt when they get into the water? This is not the case for ordinary swimming pools."
Gu Ao was slightly surprised: "You don't understand this? Then why did you like this boat?"
Mina thought she was ignorant, so she twisted and acted coquettishly: "You are bad, I just bought this boat when it's beautiful and slim! I'm a liberal arts student, do you expect me to know something else? Is there a sophisticated design here?"
Gu Ao smiled complacently. He obviously read the manual before paying the money, and after all, he was well aware of various exquisite designs in his later generations.
So he snapped his fingers and the female secretary immediately came over.
"Go and tell the helmsman, stop the boat and put down the motorboat."
"Okay, I'll go now." Li Ruotong agreed obediently and immediately walked into the cabin.
After more than ten seconds, Mina saw the main sail several dozen meters high slowly falling from the mast of magnesium-aluminum alloy. The sound sounded very gentle and comfortable. It was obvious that the lifting motor of the sweeping sail was of good quality and was stable and quiet.
In the 1980s, carbon fiber materials were still in the early research and development stages and were almost not used in batches. Therefore, the best rich sailing ships were magnesium-aluminum alloy hulls and masts, which were light and strong. Especially the mast height of sailing ships can easily exceed the length of the hull in most cases. If the mast material is too heavy, coupled with the torsional moment, it is easy to overturn the center of gravity.
The sails descended and after the boat stopped, Mina saw the girl wearing Bini climbing up to the top of the cabin, unlocking the hoisting rigging that hoisted the sails, and putting them on a one-meter-wide and three-meter-long motorboat that was on the top of the cabin.
Then he lay down and said with a ok gesture to the front glass of the cockpit. After seeing this, the helmman inside started the hoisting motor again, lifted the motorboat, then stretched the boom flatly and slowly lowered the hoist cable. The motorboat stopped steadily in the water.
This small motorboat should also play the role of the lifeboat of this sailboat. The drainage tonnage of the two is dozens of times different, so it is not easy to see any abruptness when putting the small motorboat on the cockpit of the large ship.
"Let's go, ride a motorboat, and you'll understand what the design was used just now." Gu Ao smiled mysteriously at Mina.
Mina is from the north and from the mainland of the northwest. She has a very poor water quality. She didn't know how to swim at all before her. After following Gu Ao, she gradually learned a little by following the local customs, but she only dared to play in a quiet swimming pool, or go to the beach to just bubbles and not swim.
Even though he is so rich now, Mina has never played a motorboat. It is purely a matter of courage, not a matter of condition.
"Then I want to wear a life jacket with you and hold it tightly. You can't do dangerous moves to fool me." Mina thought for a while, grabbed her husband tightly and refused to let her go.
"How could I play tricks on you? I'm demonstrating new features for you." Gu Ao advised him and immediately asked the female secretary to get the largest life jacket.
The largest life jackets usually prepared on yachts are for those super fat men who are more than 200 pounds, because no one can guarantee whether there are super fat men among the guests invited by the yacht owner. You cannot take out large life jackets just because the owner is slim.
Gu Ao and Mina combined are only more than 200 pounds, especially Mina has been very thin due to intestinal surgery in her early years, and she has always had a figure of about 80 pounds. She sticks behind Gu Ao, and it can't increase much thickness at all, so the couple can wear a super fat life jacket.
In this way, Mina was completely relieved. Her husband couldn't play with her choking water. Humph, she was going to die together.
Gu Ao just felt that the two bulging balls behind him were a little strange to squeeze, and there was no discomfort in anything else.
Then he kicked the accelerator, and the motorboat rushed to the ultra-high speed of more than 40 knots in just a dozen seconds, which caused Mina to scream and then wrapped it tighter. Not only did he hold his waist, but he even wrapped his legs around, just like an octopus, which made Gu Ao sigh that his wife's joints were flexible and his legs could be wrapped so high, which was the potential that was forced out in dangerous environments.
Fortunately, Gu Ao didn't mean to play Mina. He just took a short walk for three or five minutes, circled a circle with a radius of two nautical miles, then rowed back to the back of the sailboat, slowly slowed down and leaned forward.
"You've been necrotic, you've been necrotic!" Mina then relaxed her hand and began to scratch her pink fists. She stretched out her arms from behind and hugged Gu Ao's chest, so she could only shake her forearms and hit Gu Ao's chest, but the strength of this angle was relatively weak.
Gu Ao enjoyed being hit by the chest with a fist, showing off his magnanimity with pride: "If I really fooled you, you would have fallen into the sea just now and don't think that you wouldn't be able to fool you if you wore a swimsuit with me. But after I went into the sea, I could hold my breath for at least two minutes, and you would have been choked."
"Then I want to thank you for not pretending to be kind?" Mina's eyebrows stood up, as difficult as a cat.
"That's not necessary. I just told you that the basic operations just now were all, and I really showed you the functions to watch. The show is coming." Gu Ao said slightly.
Mina then moved her gaze away from her husband's neck and looked forward, but her head was still naturally resting on her husband's shoulder. They were wearing a life jacket, so their necks could not be moved too far. Even if they were placed on each other's shoulder from behind, half of their face would be facing.
Then Mina saw a design that was beyond her imagination.
