Chapter 55: The Gift Prepared for Dad and Mom

  Stoke was taken aback for a moment "Yacht?" But his good professional demeanor quickly recovered and he smiled, saying "Sir, are you looking to purchase a private yacht? What specific requirements do you have?"

  "Next year is my parents' 30th wedding anniversary, I want to give them a commemorative gift. Previously, I thought of giving a yacht, as for the requirements, do you have any good recommendations?"

  Mr. Stock bowed slightly as he served me, a hint of a smile on his face. "Sir, if you're thinking of buying a yacht, I highly recommend the products of Stow & Co., Ltd. They are one of the best yacht builders in all Europe. If you're interested, you can visit their shipyard in Poole, Dorset to see their products."

  Gaoyang raised the corner of his mouth, looked at him with a smile and said: "Mr. Stoke, you wouldn't be introducing me to this British company on purpose, would you?" Stoke's expression turned solemn and serious, saying: "Sir, I guarantee with my professional integrity that the products of Saint Skye Company are absolutely first-rate in all of Europe."

  "Alright, tomorrow you'll accompany me on a visit. After the tour, we can make a decision. Get in touch with this company, but if they really impress me, I want the best - money is no object. Oh, and one more thing, don't mention this to my parents for now, I want it to be a surprise."

  Stoke bowed slightly and said "I'd be happy to help you out. I'll contact St. Skull right now."

  Gao Yang smiled slightly and said "Thanks for your hard work." Then he turned around and walked towards the living room.

  The next day, Gao Yang got up early, hastily washed and dressed, had a simple breakfast, and then returned to the room to start the time-space shuttle, arriving in 1925.

  After distributing the documents reviewed last night and arranging some specific matters, he returned to modern times.

  Dad and mom were having breakfast, Gao Yang walked to the table, poured himself a glass of milk and said "Mom, I have something to go to England today." The old mother who was about to give Gao Yang a bowl of egg drop soup with lean meat was stunned. "Didn't you just come back yesterday? Why are you going out again?" Dad, who was eating, also looked up at Gao Yang. For parents, having their children by their side is the greatest happiness.

  "It's not a long trip, just over an hour by plane to the UK. I'm going to take care of some things and will be back home for dinner tonight."

  "Be careful then." Mom reminded anxiously.

  "Don't worry, I'll go first." Gaoyang and his dad said goodbye and left the restaurant to head towards the garage.

  When Gao Yang arrived at the garage, Stockton and several bodyguards as well as a lawyer were already waiting for him. Seeing Gao Yang walk over, Stockton took a step forward and slightly bowed his head, saying "Sir, your ticket has been booked, employees of Saint Sk company will pick you up at the airport."

  "Alright, let's go, hurry up, we still need to come back for dinner tonight."

  Before lunch, the plane that Gao Yang took landed at Southampton Airport. When Gao Yang and his party walked out of the hall, they saw that the pick-up staff from Sheng Si Ke Company had been waiting for a long time with a pick-up sign. After a brief introduction and greeting, Gao Yang and his party got on the vehicle arranged by Sheng Si Ke Company to head to Poole.

  More than 20 minutes later, the fleet arrived in front of the office building of Pu'er Saint Yacht Company, and Stevo Wolt, CEO of Saint Yacht Company, and Wang Mingyu, Financial Director, were already waiting at the door.

  Stoke stepped down from the car and opened the door for Gao Yang. McKintyre walked forward to welcome him, "Mr. Gao, nice to meet you, I'm McKintyre, CEO of Saint Skate Company. Welcome to our company, we're deeply honored."

  "Mr. McKentell is too kind," Gao Yang said with a faint smile. A man with an Asian face standing behind McKentell stepped forward with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Gao, I am Wang Mingyu, the financial director of Saint Sk Company. Welcome to our company for inspection."

  Gaoyang asked in surprise, "Financial Director? Chinese?" It wasn't that Gaoyang was being overly dramatic, but the position of Financial Director was extremely important within a company. With the proud nature of the British, would this purely British company really use a Chinese person as their Financial Director?

  Wang Mingyu saw Gao Yang's confusion and explained with a smile, "In 2013, the Dalian Wanda Group had already acquired Sunseeker Yachts. I was sent by the Wanda Group."

  Gao Yang suddenly realized "Oh, so that's how it is."

  McTavish, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, we've arranged a welcome lunch for you, this way please."

  Gao Yang smiled slightly and said "thank you."

  A group of people arrived at a high-end restaurant near the company, and after they sat down, Mackenzie smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, we have arranged some British specialty dishes for you, hoping you will like them."

  Gao Yang smiled lightly and nodded, but in his heart he muttered, "The whole world knows that you British don't have a food culture, what's special about it? You're not going to serve me some Chinese dishes, are you?"

  Lunch was ready before Gao Yang arrived and was quickly brought up.

  The main course that came first was the grilled ribeye, which was made by roasting fresh oiled beef in the oven. The color was slightly dull, but the marbling on the cutting surface was still clearly visible. Next to it was a plate of Western-style mustard sauce for dipping, and the Yorkshire pudding as a side dish looked like a coffee cup, with a depression in the middle and soft edges, while the outside was crispy. Gao Yang nodded slightly and took a bite of the Yorkshire pudding, which had a texture similar to bread and a slightly salty taste, feeling okay.

  Then there was a Dover sole, which was caught in the Dover Strait and had a light and fresh taste. The waiter also brought red wine, as drinking wine with meals is a common habit in Britain. Putting down his glass, Gao Yang wiped his mouth with a napkin and felt surprised "Who says British food isn't good? It's quite nice!"

  McTavish went to great lengths to welcome Goyang because he knew Stoke! After receiving a call from an employee last night, McTavish called Stoke and was surprised to learn that the other party was indeed Stoke.

  As one of the former butlers in Britain, Stoke's recognition in high society is not low. Mackenzie immediately realized that the boss who could bring out the retired Stoke must be extremely rich, and entertaining such a big client would certainly require spending money, just arranging lunch for so many people was a considerable expense!

  After lunch, McKenztel accompanied Gao Yang and his party to visit the shipyard to observe the products of Saint-Sk company.

  Arriving at the dock where yachts were on display, Gao Yang looked at the various sizes and shapes of yachts in front of him, turned his head to smile at Mackenzie and said "I want the best."

  "Ah, I've been waiting for that!" Mackenzie's eyes lit up with excitement as he smiled slightly and accompanied Gao Yang to a yacht under construction. Gao Yang's eyes widened instantly - this was indeed a behemoth, at least three or four stories high!

  "McTavish looked at the high-yang with some movement, excitedly introducing "This is our company's latest product new flagship 3-layer deck luxury motor yacht 155 type, this is the third one. This yacht adopts a three-deck structure design, unique upper layer design integrates North American, Mediterranean, Asian yacht styling elements, modular composite construction methods create luxurious interior design, paired with luxurious personalized customization, making the yacht's appearance and interior decoration shine, gorgeous beyond compare, the hull is ice blue, while the interior uses gray, blue, green and other color schemes, the style is quite modern. On the main deck of the yacht, there are two VIP rooms, the super-large floor-to-ceiling windows in the room will bring unparalleled scenery. The formal dining room is connected to the outdoor sun deck, making the space more open and warming up the atmosphere for dinner parties. In addition, the entertainment facilities on the yacht are also very complete, with a super-large sky bar on the top layer, suitable for holding parties."

  Gao Yang walked around the ship with his hands behind his back, while McKenziel stood beside him, took a deep breath and continued to introduce the specific performance data of the ship. "The length of the ship is 47.25 meters, the width is 9.4 meters, and the maximum draft is 2.66 meters. The hull is made of steel structure, the upper structure is composite material, two MTU12V4000M73L diesel engines can make its top speed reach 26 knots. Four fuel tanks can hold 60,000 liters of fuel, with a range of 5,000 nautical miles. Two freshwater tanks can hold 11,000 liters of fresh water, enough to meet all the water needs. The whole ship can accommodate 12 passengers and 10 crew members at the same time. It's our company's pride!"

  "Haoyang stopped in his tracks and chuckled lightly, nodding his head "How much? How long will it take to deliver?"

  "Depending on the client's specific requirements, the final sale price will fluctuate after interior decoration is completed. However, the minimum sale price is ￡32 million. The construction period is generally 18 months."

  Gao Yang's face stiffened and he didn't say a word. McKenziel, who was standing beside him, felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that the high price would scare Gao Yang away. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Gao Yang say in a low voice, "Money is no problem, but it's taking too long! I can't wait!"

  "Mr. Gao, what do you mean?" Mackenzie asked hastily.

  "Next year is my parents' 30th wedding anniversary, I want to buy a yacht like this as a gift. But I can't wait for 18 months!"

  At this time, Wang Mingyu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mr. Gao, everything can be negotiated, right? May I ask, in which month is your parents' anniversary?"

  Gaoyang looked at him and suddenly curled up the corner of his mouth, probably understanding what he meant. Smiling, he said "Next September."

  Wang Mingyu thought for a moment and then smiled, "That means we can complete the delivery within 11 months at most, and then there will be time to open it in the place you specify. Our Shengkesi company can do it, but..." Wang Mingyu paused here.

  Gao Yang had already understood his meaning and smiled, saying "I've said it before, money is not a problem. As long as you can meet my requirements, any amount of money can be negotiated, just...". Gao Yang glanced at him with a stern expression and said in a deep voice "If it's not delivered on time and delays the celebration gift for my parents..."

  "Please rest assured, we will clearly define our respective obligations in the contract. If there is a breach of contract, our company, Saint-Sk, is willing to compensate for your losses with the utmost sincerity."
