Chapter 266: Chapter 266: If We Can’t Compete on Water, Let’s Compete in the Sky! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
A hundred million for a yacht was shocking, even to someone like Cao Qiankun.
The yacht alone was worth a hundred million, so the maintenance fees must also be astronomical.
You have to know, the maintenance fees for these luxury yachts, cars, and private jets are outrageously high.
Sometimes, you can afford to buy it, but you might not be able to afford its expensive maintenance.
The yacht itself, plus a few years of maintenance fees, might cost several hundred million.
Even if they had money, they wouldn’t spend it so freely, especially since most of their assets were in company shares that couldn’t be casually sold.
“Cao, where’s that Mr. Chu you invited?”
At this moment, Gu Yuanjia looked around, finding only familiar faces and no strangers.
“Everyone’s here, and we’re just waiting for him?”
Gu Yuanjia said discontentedly.
They were all big shots in Hang City; everyone usually waited respectfully for them.
But now, they had to wait for someone else, leaving these big shots a little disgruntled.
“Yeah, old Cao, is that Chu guy putting on airs?”
“Making everyone wait for just him?”
After Gu Yuanjia spoke, the others chimed in, expressing strong dissatisfaction.
“He’s not late yet.”
Cao Qiankun glanced at his watch and saw there were still ten minutes until the agreed time.
“Who is this Mr. Chu, and is he worth the wait?”
“I’m done waiting, let’s board the yacht.”
Gu Yuanjia waved his hand and was the first to board his yacht.
“We’re not waiting either.”
“Forget this Mr. Chu, let’s board your yacht, old Gu.”
At the port, most of these bosses had their yachts, but compared to Gu Yuanjia’s Riva 88′ Florida, theirs were a notch below.
So, these bosses abandoned their yachts and boarded Gu Yuanjia’s instead.
“Let’s go, old Cao.”
Cao Qiankun wanted to wait a bit longer but was pulled by a few bosses onto Gu Yuanjia’s Riva 88′ Florida yacht.
“Prepare to set sail.”
Gu Yuanjia ordered.
But before his Riva 88′ Florida could start, from the distance, a behemoth yacht surged through the winds and waves, speeding toward them.
Chu Chen stood on his Rising Sun, checked the time, and found he wasn’t late.
His Rising Sun was docked at another harbor, so Chu Chen went there first before heading here.
Watching the Rising Sun break through the waves from afar, the people on Gu Yuanjia’s Riva 88′ Florida stood frozen in shock.
The Riva 88′ Florida was luxurious, with a length of 26.7 meters and a width of 6.19 meters.
But in front of the Rising Sun, which was 138 meters long and 19 meters wide, it was like a child.
“That yacht is massive.”
“And its price must be terrifying.”
Looking at the Rising Sun, these bosses couldn’t help but exclaim.
Gu Yuanjia’s Riva 88′ Florida was only about a fifth or sixth of its size.
With the Riva 88′ Florida close to a hundred million, how much was this yacht?
Surely, this behemoth’s annual maintenance fees alone would be tens of millions, if not over a hundred million.
“Who owns this yacht?”
“I’m curious, who could own such a yacht of this caliber?!”
These bosses discussed among themselves.
Gu Yuanjia was also stunned, filled with awe in his heart.
The yacht opposite was just too big; his Riva 88′ Florida wasn’t even a contender.
Cao Qiankun was intensely curious, not blinking as he stared ahead.
As the Rising Sun gradually approached, only then did everyone clearly see Chu Chen standing at the bow.
“Mr. Chu?”
Cao Qiankun saw Chu Chen at the bow, speaking in surprise.
“Huh?”
“He’s Mr. Chu?”
“The man we’ve been waiting for?”
Hearing Cao Qiankun’s words, everyone reacted with shock.
Oh man!
They had originally thought the Mr. Chu that Cao Qiankun mentioned was likely similar to their own status and position.
But seeing the yacht left them stunned.
They had underestimated Mr. Chu’s capability.
As they watched the Rising Sun slowly stop, the bosses who had just boarded disembarked one by one to greet Chu Chen.
Leaving only the embarrassed Gu Yuanjia on the Riva 88′ Florida.
At this moment, Gu Yuanjia’s face turned iron blue. He had arranged this event with the grandiosity of the Riva 88′ Florida for showing off.
Just as he began to show off, this behemoth appeared.
Gu Yuanjia’s face felt hot, he realized that after all this effort, he had merely played into Mr. Chu’s hand, who stole the spotlight.
He became the stark contrast.
Damnit!

He cursed in his heart and walked down as well.
Chu Chen walked off the Rising Sun and met with Cao Qiankun.
“Mr. Chu is quite young.”
“So talented.”
These bosses eagerly shook hands with Chu Chen, speaking with courtesy.
They were all amazed, finding Chu Chen extremely young.
“Sorry for being a bit late, I went to pick up this yacht,” Chu Chen apologized.
“No worries, we’re in no hurry.”
“Yes, indeed, we’re not in a hurry, and Mr. Chu wasn’t late.”
“A bit late doesn’t matter at all.”
These bosses expressed no issues.
The ones who said Chu wasn’t worth waiting for had long flown to somewhere unknown.
Finally, under their fervent suggestion, they all boarded Chu Chen’s yacht to take a look.
“It’s colossal, probably half a football field in size, right?!”
“Not only grand, but also incredibly luxurious.”
“Mr. Chu, this yacht probably costs a billion, right?”
Gazing at the vast Rising Sun, they gave out waves of admiration.
“Close, twelve billion,” Chu Chen replied.
They gasped, twelve billion!
A twelve-billion-dollar yacht was terrifying!
In the end, without hesitation, they abandoned Gu Yuanjia’s Riva 88′ Florida and rode Chu Chen’s Rising Sun to the designated fishing spot.
Gu Yuanjia also got on the Rising Sun, but he was not willing to concede.
After all, he was a renowned figure in Hang City.
Now, he was reduced to a supporting role; all the spotlight was taken by Mr. Chu; what humiliation!
He had to regain his dignity!
Upon reaching the designated spot, they began to fish.
While fishing, these bosses chatted with Chu Chen with utmost hospitality, all eager to make connections with him.
Leaving Gu Yuanjia to fish alone in another location, feeling more resentful toward Chu Chen.
Just then, Cao Qiankun suddenly received a call.
“What?”
Cao Qiankun’s face changed, as recently, his Galaxy Real Estate had set up a branch in Beijing.
Unexpectedly, a major incident occurred so quickly.
“Rest assured, I’ll get there as soon as possible, as quickly as I can.”
Cao Qiankun told his subordinates.
Checking his phone, he found the earliest flight to Beijing was the following afternoon, and he couldn’t wait any longer.
“Old Cao, what’s wrong?”
The others noticed Cao Qiankun’s unease and asked.
Cao Qiankun sighed and explained briefly.
Hearing this, Gu Yuanjia’s eyes lit up; he found a way to regain his face.
The boat race might have been lost; now it was time to compete in the sky!
