Xiang Yang shook his head. "I'll also state my bottom price, 250,000. You can just say yes or no."
"That's too big of a difference." Manager Li said with a wry smile, "Mr. Xiang, if you give us another 100,000, or 350,000, we will treat you at the level of the Yongle Emperor. What do you think?"
Xiang Yang stood up and said, "I don't like to bargain with people, so I'll just give you a flat price of 250,000. If it's okay, and my crew and I have a good time, I'll come back next time. If not, I'll leave now."
"Okay, let me consider that I have made a friend from you, Mr. Xiang. Please introduce more business to me in the future." Manager Li also stood up and said quickly.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Then I will follow your arrangements, Manager Li."
After paying the deposit, Manager Li said to Xiang Yang, "Mr. Xiang, let me add you as my friend. Cruise ships are not allowed to stay here for a long time. It will take a while for our ship to arrive. You will need to take care of your own lunch. There are boxed lunches on this island. If you are not used to eating boxed lunches, you can go to Feidu Bay. There is a seafood restaurant there, and our ship can pick you up there directly."
Xiang Yang asked directly: "We will board the ship at 4:30, right?"
"Yes, as long as you are within the Xisha Islands, no matter which island you are on, we will arrive at your location before 4:30."
"Then I'll board the ship directly on this island at 4:30."
Xiang Yang went back, gathered the crew together, and prepared to announce the good news.
The crew members were having a great time on this island.
Being gathered together by Xiang Yang, Fang Youqun was a little disappointed and said, "Brother Yang, didn't you say that you would give us half a day off after resupplying? Why are we going out to sea again so soon?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "I said I would take you guys to dinner, why don't you want to have a dinner?"
"Dinner?"
The eyes of some crew members lit up instantly.
Every time Xiang Yang talked about a dinner party, it was definitely a big dinner. There has never been a precedent where eating a meal at a food stall was considered a dinner party.
"Everyone has worked hard on this trip. I have just chartered a cruise ship. We will have a good day to relax in the Xisha Islands. Everyone remember to gather here on time at 4:30 p.m." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"What?"
"Chartered a cruise ship?"
"Captain is generous."
The crew members were instantly excited.
Even Wu Shiwen and He Mingde were slightly moved.
He Mingde quietly pulled Xiang Yang aside and asked, "How much did it cost you to charter a cruise ship?"
"It's not expensive, just 250,000." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
He Mingde was stunned, "Why is it so cheap?"
"Because the cruise ships here are different from ours. In Qinglongwan, the cruise ship itself is a recreational project, but here, the cruise ship mainly serves as a sightseeing. There are so many free and fun places here, and the cruise ship mainly serves as a transportation."
In the afternoon, half past four.
The cruise ship temporarily stopped at unloading dock No. 2.
Xiang Yang boarded the ship with the crew.
Manager Li also came aboard. He smiled and said to Xiang Yang, "Boss Xiang, I will be your tour guide this time. If you need anything on the way, you can tell me directly."
"I don't actually have any other requirements. Just do as you did before." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
The deck is divided into three levels.
The bottom floor is a place specifically for fishing, and Xiang Yang and his crew members are not very interested in this floor.
The second floor is the main deck, where most of the daily activities take place.
The third floor is a big stage.
At this moment, exciting music is playing on the deck, and a group of people wearing grass skirts or local costumes are dancing on the stage.
"Let me first introduce to you the Changle Princess we are on." Manager Li said with a smile.
Xiang Yang nodded.
Manager Li smiled and said, "Our cruise ship is an eco-tourism cruise ship. It has a total of 82 guest rooms and 330 berths. It can carry up to 160 guests. It has a buffet restaurant, entertainment room, supermarket, medical clinic and other places. The route we sail through is Quanfu Island, Yinyu Island, and Yongle Island, and finally returns to the place where you boarded the ship. You can go sea fishing, enjoy singing and dancing on the ship, or play chess and cards in the entertainment room."
"Chess and cards!" Xiang Yang smiled. This was probably the main reason why he was able to charter a cruise ship that originally cost 500,000 yuan for 250,000 yuan.
Unfortunately, Manager Li was wrong. Xiang Yang didn’t play chess or cards at all.
Even if I play, I only play with one or two pieces.
However, when the crew members heard that there was an entertainment room on the ship, their eyes lit up instantly.
"Let's go to the restaurant first and sit down to eat something." Xiang Yang said with a smile as he looked at Chen Qingsheng, He Mingde and others.
"Of course, the restaurant is here. Except for drinks and spices, everything in the restaurant is free." Manager Li immediately smiled.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Xiang Yang chose a booth by the window.
The restaurant on the Yongle Princess is very exquisite, and you can directly see the emerald green sea outside from the boat door.
Xiang Yang sat down with Xu Fang, Chen Qingsheng, He Mingde and Wu Shiwen.
Manager Li immediately said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xiang, what kind of wine do you want? We have Romanee-Conti and Lafite here. Would you like a bottle?"
"Only red wine?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.
Romanee-Conti and Lafite are probably the kings of red wine. It seems that Manager Li has not given up the idea of taking money out of Xiang Yang's pocket.
"We also have liquor, Moutai Longjiu, Feitian Moutai, and foreign liquor..."
"Okay, give me two bottles of Moutai." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
When it comes to alcohol, Xiang Yang still prefers to drink white wine.
Manager Li was a little disappointed. Although Moutai was considered a very good wine, its profit was still a little small compared to red wine.
"Moutai, we have Iron-Cap Moutai and Five-Star Flying Moutai. Would you like to try it, Mr. Xiang?" Manager Li continued to ask without giving up.
"No, just fly normally." Xiang Yang stopped him quickly.
Xiang Yang likes to drink, but he can't actually tell the quality of the wine. The iron-capped Moutai is very mysterious. It is not circulated in the market and is only specially supplied. It is very rare to see it in the market. You may not know if you drink fake wine.
Of course, even ordinary Feitian is not cheap. Unaged Feitian costs four thousand yuan a bottle on this ship.
Eating delicious seafood, drinking wine and admiring the beautiful sea view outside the window, the group was having a great time.
Soon, it was night.
Under the leadership of Manager Li, Xiang Yang went to the third deck and started the Xing Shang Yong Le stage singing and dancing performance.
Xiang Yang was not very interested in this, but the crew members were all very happy.
