Chapter 138 - 131: Princess X95 Superyacht

Chapter 138: Chapter 131: Princess X95 Superyacht

It was a superyacht nearly thirty meters long. Its smooth, slender lines were like a nimble dolphin leaping from the water, and under the moonlight, it shimmered with the cold brilliance of interwoven metal and glass.

In contrast to the ordinary tour boats and ferries nearby, it stood as a proud display of unparalleled luxury and prestige for all to see.

"The Princess X95 superyacht!"

"Princess Yachts’ newest flagship model! It was just officially released this April!"

The corners of Wang Yan’s lips quirked up. With a self-satisfied air, he announced, "Chairman Gu, tonight, it’s all yours!"

"Holy shit!"

"Old Wang, you’re incredible!"

"You even managed to borrow this yacht?"

"This is Chairman Hu’s pride and joy! Ever since he bought it, countless people have asked to borrow it, and he’s refused every single one. And you actually managed to get it today?"

Gao Zihang stared at the behemoth on the river, his eyes widening slightly. He had clearly recognized the yacht’s origins.

"Heh heh..."

"I definitely don’t have the kind of pull to do this on my own."

"I called my dad. He personally reached out to Chairman Hu to ask."

At this, Wang Yan put an arm around Gu Heng’s shoulder and said, "Chairman Gu, I’m really just riding your coattails on this one. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the pull to borrow this thing."

"Brother Yan, I appreciate Chairman Wang’s gesture, but I can’t let him be indebted on my behalf."

Gu Heng shook his head, his expression turning a bit more serious. "I don’t know this Chairman Hu, but please, Brother Yan, pass on a message for me. After my private jet is delivered, I’ll let him borrow it for a trip, free of charge. That offer stands indefinitely."

"No, no, don’t worry about it."

"Chairman Hu and our Junyao Group already do business together often. The next time we cooperate, we can just give him a slightly better deal, and that’ll count as returning the favor."

Wang Yan shook his head repeatedly. "Besides, yours is a Bombardier Global 7500! That jet alone is worth enough to buy six of these Princess X95s."

"It’s not worth it. Not worth it at all."

Nearby, Gao Zihang, Gao Zihao, and Zhao Yongtao listened to the two of them, their expressions dazed.

A private jet?

A Bombardier Global 7500?

Gao Zihang’s gaze turned vacant. "Old Wang, Chairman Gu bought a private jet? A Bombardier Global 7500?!"

"Yup..."

"Bombardier Company is making the delivery in a couple of days. It should be happening any day now."

"If you play your cards right tonight and have a good drinking session with Chairman Gu, who knows? If he’s in a good mood, he might just take you along when the plane gets delivered."

Wang Yan looked inexplicably proud, as if he were the one who had bought the Bombardier Global 7500.

"Oh my god!"

"Chairman Gu, don’t tell me your family’s 18th birthday present was this Bombardier Global 7500, was it?"

"As far as I know, the cheapest model of this thing costs over 80 million US dollars. If you add a few optional customizations, the total price easily pushes past 100 million US dollars."

After getting an affirmative answer from Wang Yan, Gao Zihang couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

He once thought he had a fairly clear grasp of Gu Heng’s immense financial power. But in hindsight, he realized his so-called "clear grasp" was merely the tip of the iceberg of Gu Heng’s vast wealth.

’Utterly terrifying!’

’This is just... utterly terrifying!’

Gu Heng looked at the three of them, all wearing standard expressions of shock. In response to Gao Zihang’s guess, he just smiled without saying a word.

"Hey!"

"What are you guys doing just standing there!"

"Get up here!"

While Gu Heng and the others were chatting, a man’s voice called down from the yacht’s flybridge.

They all looked up to see a man about the same age as Wang Yan and Gao Zihang, holding a cigar and waving at them while puffing out clouds of smoke.

"Coming!"

Wang Yan saw the man and called back, then turned to Gu Heng. "That’s a good friend of mine. I’ll introduce you to him in a bit, Chairman Gu. Let’s get on board first."

"Alright."

Gu Heng nodded.

The group boarded one by one and were welcomed by several of the yacht’s service staff as they headed inside.

"Chairman Gu, the reason this Princess X95 Flybridge yacht has ’flybridge’ in its official name is that, compared to traditional yachts, it has 40% more outdoor space."

"Its flybridge and main deck cover almost the entire length of the yacht, creating a more expansive space with a wider field of view. That’s why the Princess X95’s flybridge is also known in the industry as a ’super flybridge.’"

Gu Heng listened to Wang Yan’s introduction while surveying the yacht’s interior.

’I have to admit, hanging out with a top-tier heir like Wang Yan is a real eye-opener.’

’In just two days, Gu Heng felt like a frog who had just jumped out of a well. If he hadn’t come to Zhonghai from Beichun, he never would have known the outside world could be so vibrant and colorful.’

’If it weren’t for the fact that most of the assets awarded to him by Father Tongzi were industrial businesses rooted in Beichun, he’d be seriously tempted to stay in Zhonghai and never go back.’

"This is the main deck’s salon area. The windows all around are electro-hydraulic and can be raised or lowered, so even on a rainy day, it won’t stop the owner and guests from enjoying themselves on the yacht."

"The aft section of the main deck is the dining area. It can seat more than ten people with no problem."

Wang Yan must have been on this yacht before, as he was very familiar with its overall layout.

"The forward section of the main deck, at the bow, is the master stateroom."

"This Princess X95 Flybridge has five staterooms in total: one master stateroom, two VIP staterooms, and two guest staterooms. Each one comes with its own private bathroom and shower."

At this point, Wang Yan’s expression suddenly turned mischievous. He leaned in and whispered in Gu Heng’s ear, "The bed in the master stateroom is three meters wide. My idea is, we both stay on the boat tonight. You take the master stateroom on this deck, and I’ll take a VIP stateroom on the deck below you. How about it?"

"Stay on the boat tonight?"

Gu Heng was a little surprised; he hadn’t even considered it when he came.

’It was mainly that his limited perspective had shackled his imagination. He never imagined a yacht’s interior could be this luxurious, easily rivaling the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.’

"We called in a huge favor for this!"

"It’d be such a waste if we didn’t stay the night!"

Wang Yan said with conviction.

"Hmm..."

"We’ll see."

"Let’s see how tonight goes."

Gu Heng didn’t give a definite answer, deciding to wait and see.

"Tsk..."

"I guarantee it’ll be more interesting than yesterday’s ’ultimate pool party.’ Let’s go up to the super flybridge now, and you’ll see."

Wang Yan gave Gu Heng a meaningful smile. Without lingering any longer on the main deck, he led Gu Heng and the others up the marble steps toward the super flybridge above.

Soon, after Gu Heng followed the stairs up to the super flybridge, he saw the scene before him and finally understood what Wang Yan had meant by "interesting"...
