Rebirth of England

In fact, this time Barron just stopped by to take a look. After all, the superyacht he ordered took more than two years to build. When it is completed, it will be 2007.

The World Cup will be held in Germany soon. This time Barron came here because he also wanted to feel the atmosphere of this World Cup - not to mention that he liked watching football very much in his previous life, and he was in the "first place" in this world. "A Pot of Gold" also came from the last Asahi World Cup.

It is also worth mentioning that in this World Cup, Kolo's national team achieved a historic breakthrough, winning the right to qualify for the World Cup for the first time and also coming to Germany.

Speaking of the Kolo national football team, it is not a very eye-catching team, but it showed strong combat effectiveness in the qualifiers. The record of 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss is also the best in the African qualifiers, and among the group There are also strong teams like Senegal.

In the African qualifiers, the defense of the Colo national football team, which only conceded 8 goals in 10 games, was also called the "Italian defense in Africa"...

This is also the first time Kolo has entered the World Cup finals since joining FIFA in 1962. Previously, the team's best record in international competition was only qualifying from the 1998 African Cup of Nations.

However, in Barron's previous life, because the Colo Football Association had been in arrears with player bonuses since February 2006, which amounted to about 50,000 euros per player, the furious players decided to go on strike in protest and missed the flight to Dortmund. If it were not for FIFA's intervention, I am afraid that the first collective boycott of a game by players in the history of the World Cup finals would have occurred.

However, because of the arrears of qualifying bonuses this time, in the subsequent World Cup games, the players of the Colo team were not in high spirits, so they performed poorly.

In the end, their performance in the World Cup in Germany was only slightly better than the performance of the Chinese men's football team in the World Cup in Asahi - losing all three games, but scoring one goal...

But now it is different from Barron's previous life. Although Colo is still not a very developed country, at least they have now discovered offshore oil fields and exploited them. The government's income has begun to show. After Colo's national football team entered the World Cup finals, It is even less likely that players will be owed bonuses.

Even Barron, in the name of the West African Group, has increased rewards for players and subsidized the Kolo national team so that they can come to Germany for adaptive training early.

You know, this time the Kolo team is in a group that also includes South Korea, Switzerland and France, and their first game in the group stage is against the South Korean team, which performed disgracefully in the last World Cup.

Therefore, after arriving in Germany, the Kolo team also received some preferential treatment from the locals during the adaptive training - is this just because they will face South Korea in the first game, or is it also because there is also a French team in their group... Well, the German guy's thoughts are "difficult to guess".

The Colo national team has also received sponsorship from the newly listed O2 Telecom and the soon-to-be-listed Argos.com, and there will be generous winning bonuses and goal bonuses...

It can be said that their military morale is available at this time and their momentum is like a rainbow.

…

On the day Barron arrived in Germany, Fan Bingbing also took a flight from China to Germany to meet Barron.

Another reason why they came to this shipyard in Germany this time was that someone had previously customized a luxury yacht here and planned to sell it. The yacht was almost completed and only the interior decoration was left, so Barron prepared Take a look, if it is suitable, it is not impossible to take it directly. Then, you can temporarily have a yacht available before your own super yacht is completed.

After picking up Fan Bingbing, Barron and his team arrived at the A\u0026R Shipyard. Accompanied by the shipyard's sales director, the two visited the superyacht that was being resold.

"Your Highness the Duke, Ms. Fan, the streamlined yacht you are seeing now was designed by a well-known French designer and includes a complete set of interior decorations - of course, you can only see the exterior and interior partitions of the yacht now. The advantage is You may also have the opportunity to make some adjustments based on your requirements..."

The first impression that this yacht gave Fan Bingbing was that it was big, and it also had a very beautiful appearance and a sense of science fiction.

When she first heard Barron bring her over to take a look at the yacht, Fan Bingbing's impression was that it was the kind of small yacht parked at a yacht dock in China that she had seen before.

And seeing this super giant in front of me. When I saw a huge thing with a length of more than 100 meters and a height as high as seven or eight stories, I felt that my cognition was greatly impacted...

Under the introduction of the shipyard sales director, they learned that the length of the yacht reached 330 feet and the height was more than 80 feet. According to the design, the ship will have a huge master suite occupying the entire floor, as well as the remaining 11 rooms. The suite can accommodate 22 guests and 36 yacht staff.

"We can come here to take a look at the specific design renderings..."

Through the big screen, the sales director showed them the interior decoration renderings of the yacht designed by French designers.

As mentioned before, this superyacht was designed by a well-known French yacht designer. The interior decoration, both in style and materials, is extremely luxurious. The only thing is that there are too many glittering "rich people" The wind is a bit difficult for Barron to accept...

But this is not surprising, because the previous owner of this yacht was a Middle Eastern tycoon, but the other party suddenly was a little dissatisfied with the size of the yacht - 330 feet in length, for most people, it is already The size is unimaginable, but it is said that the other prince decided to order a longer yacht because of comparison with another prince, so he prepared to buy the current one...

Even if you lose a considerable part of your deposit, you don't care.

You know, the overall cost of this yacht is about 175 million euros. Now that Barron has won it, it only costs about 130 million euros. It can be said that the other party has lost more than a quarter of the cost by changing hands...

However, Barron is quite satisfied with the supporting facilities and space designed on this yacht. For example, there is a private viewing platform on the first floor of the master bedroom. The yacht is also equipped with two 12-meter-long auxiliary boats. The interior includes a cinema, bar and a 25-meter-long closeable swimming pool.

There are also luxurious restaurants and conference rooms that can accommodate more than 20 people dining at the same time...

It can be said that this is completely a sea palace, even more luxurious than Abu's "Charming Ocean" that Barron has experienced before.

"How about it, do you like this yacht?"

Hearing Barron's question, Fan Bingbing was stunned for a moment and said:

"Of course I like it. Who doesn't? I never thought a yacht could be like this."

In front of Barron, Fan Bingbing is never too pretentious, which is what he likes.

"I want this ship..."

Barron turned around and said to the sales director seemingly casually:

"However, there are some parts of its decoration that I don't like very much and need to be adjusted."

"That's no problem, Your Highness the Duke..."

Hearing that the young British Duke next to him casually wanted to buy this super yacht, the shipyard's sales consultant was overjoyed and said respectfully:

“Whatever your requirements are you can just ask and we can have the yacht’s designers make any feasible modifications for you.”

After all, this is not a car, not even a house, but a super yacht worth hundreds of millions of euros. There are only a handful of people in every country who can buy such a "super big toy".

Often these people will have their own customized needs for such "toys". It is not easy to find a new owner for a yacht like this one whose frame has been finalized.

If they can really get rid of it, it can be regarded as solving a big problem for them. The bonus that this sales consultant can get must be quite high, so it is no wonder that he is so eager.

It can be said that, not to mention that the Duke just requested to modify the design, even if... the other party had any common hobbies of British people, he would not hesitate to face the difficulty...

"That's no need. All I need is to modify some of the decoration styles, and then designers from the Gucci Group will take over the renovation."

"That's totally fine."

Although the interior decoration style of this yacht is "splendid", a big factor should be the preference of the original owner, and has nothing to do with the designer...

However, Barron does not have his own "favorite" designers, just like Alexander Michel, who designed the "Devon Hill Series" of the Gucci Group. He previously obtained design inspiration from Chatsworth Manor. Barron still likes it very much, and the interior decoration design of this super yacht can be left to him.
