Chapter 159 Someone Wants to See You
At the end of the month, brothers who have tickets, please push Banxian, thank you Banxian!
Buying a yacht?
Buying a yacht in the United States is actually a very common thing. .The number of yachts in the United States is about 17 million, with an average of 16 people owning one, and the average price is more than 50,000 US dollars. However, yachts in the United States are a luxury item, and a 10% special consumption tax on yachts is levied.
In fact, it is not impossible to buy a yacht. Of course, Zhen Fan also wants to sunbathe, fish and even hold parties on the sea. Of course, the yacht must be big enough, preferably a super yacht of more than 100 feet. Not the kind of kayak that most Americans can fill with gadgets.
To buy this thing, as Julia said, it is best to watch it at the boat show, that is the best place, such as the International Boat Show in Miami. It will bring together yacht suppliers from all over the world, and there is a lot of room for choice. Anyway, there is no rush. Generally, there will be continuous exhibitions after March.
In the evening, Zhen Fan had nothing to do, so he called Christine.
"This is Sibella, wait a minute, Christine will come over to answer the phone right away." It was Sibella who answered the phone, and after a while, I heard Christine's voice.
"Hi, Zhen, it's me, Christine." Christine said lazily, "It's so late, it's definitely not because you miss me, but you haven't called for a long time, I remember it!"
"It's only been a day. I called the day before yesterday. Are you old? Or memory loss?" Zhen Fan grinned, "I want to tell you, I miss you!"
"Me too!" Christine laughed, and then with a questioning tone, "Is that why I called? Why can I smell a conspiracy on the phone?"
"You think too much, of course the most important thing is to miss you!"
"Ha, I knew it, tell me, what else is there besides missing me!" Christine looked very proud, after exposing Zhen Fan's little trick, she was a typical little girl's heart.
"That's right, I'm going to buy a yacht, and I want to hear your opinion!" Zhen Fan still decided to tell the truth, but he was exposed, and no matter how hypocritical, Christine would definitely lose his temper.
"Ha, I knew it, I like it, I bought a small yacht, but now I plan to change to a bigger one, and it's more comfortable, more than sixty feet would be fine." Christine talked There is interest in talking about it, like a woman talking about an extravagant handbag or dress.
"Looks like I'm asking the right person.
"Zhen Fan smiled, "I plan to buy a boat of about 100 feet, but I don't know how to choose, maybe you will be a better guide. "
"Of course, but Zhen, how much do you plan to spend on a yacht of about 100 feet? I need to know the budget before I can give you a suitable recommendation." Christine smiled, "If I didn't miscalculate, what you said This kind of super cruise ship, including taxes and berthing costs, at least prepare five million dollars!"
"What?" Zhen Fan was surprised.
"Oh, no, Zhen, I knew you would be surprised, if according to your assumption, this is a relatively economical yacht price, you must know that what you want is a super yacht, not that kind of small toy." Chris As soon as Ting heard this, he knew that Zhen Fan was surprised, "This doesn't include the captain you hired, of course you can apply for a private yacht driver's license yourself."
"Well, this is really..." Zhen Fan was a little speechless, "I don't even know what to say."
"However, I still suggest you that since you are buying a 100-foot super yacht, you will definitely go further afield, so it will be of great help to have a senior captain on board, and he will help you avoid There are many dangerous things in the sea, such as staying out of the storm!" Christine was still chattering.
"Forget it, Christine, I think...in a while!" Zhen Fan swallowed with difficulty. It seems that I am still far away from those rich people. Thinking about it, Sampson’s idea of buying a vineyard has begun to come alive. Yes, if you want to live a better life and live a more free life, buy a Escalade is not enough.
Putting aside the idea of buying a yacht, Zhen Fan was just about to go to bed when he suddenly received a call from Sarah. Since this woman joined the meeting, she rarely contacted Zhen Fan on the phone, a typical symptom of a workaholic.
"Hi, Sarah, I haven't heard your voice for a long time, how are you doing?" Zhen Fan smiled, "Sarah, our super detective? Vogue, is it because you miss me?"
"Oh, you really feel...I don't even know what to say!" Sarah's tone was helpless, she was used to Zhen Fan's almost rascal greeting.
"Then don't say it, it's definitely not what I want to hear!"
"No, maybe you will be a little interested. It's definitely not a case. You know, I'm already in it!" Zhen Fan heard Sarah's laughter, "It's about the previous case."
"Please, you have already said just now that it is definitely not about the case, do you want to go back on your word?" Zhen Fan immediately refused, "I will not give you a chance, if you want to talk about the case, I will hang up, If you're going to say 'I love you,' I'll keep my phone plugged in all night."
"I promise it's not a case, it's a person, he wants to see you!" Sarah rushed to speak out, she knew this guy would definitely hang up, "It's Sam? Stott."
"Who? I don't know this guy."
"The guy who killed Sir Shockman, the guy who lived in Silicon Valley, the guy who killed two of my colleagues, Sam? Stott, that bastard put me in the hospital." Speaking of this guy, Sarah still had a lot to say. The resentment, the tone is a bit rushed.
"Then... why do you still want to help him pass the message?" Zhen Fan sighed, "I think of this guy, and I still remember him very well. If I can, I really want to beat him up."
"My boss told me that because I worked on this case, he found me and asked me to tell you through, he said, this is Stott's last request, and he was charged with three counts of first-degree murder Sentenced to death, the execution will be executed by lethal injection at 4:30 pm tomorrow." Sarah paused, "Do you want to come? Of course, you don't have to come, I wish I could kill this bastard right now. he!"
"I need time to think about it!" Zhen Fan was stunned. Stott sentenced to death, which was expected, but he didn't expect that the death penalty would be executed so quickly. Generally speaking, the execution procedures of people sentenced to death in California For a long time, years or even decades are possible, so now California is the state with the most death row inmates.
After going to the clinic the next day, Zhen Fan was thinking about this matter. Obviously, Stott had no necessary reason to see him, especially among the last people who were about to be executed.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk" Someone was knocking on the door, and the door opened. It was Kerns and Alice, father and daughter who had already made an appointment. Kerns was no longer as reserved as before, but he still maintained a more cautious posture. He didn't sit down with Alice until Zhen Fan motioned him to sit down.
"How do you feel?" Zhen Fan squatted down, "Have you been in pain these few days?"
"No, it feels great. Compared with before!" Alice smiled obediently at Zhen Fan. Her face gradually became rosier and plumper than before. It seems that after the illness was brought under control, Her appetite is also much better, which is a welcome change.
"Wait here, I'll give Alice the needle!" Zhen Fan nodded to Kerns.
"Yes, Dr. Zhen!" Kerns stood up respectfully, watching Zhen Fan lead Alice out, a warm current surged in his heart, it seemed that Alice was really saved.
The bored Kerns looked around Zhen Fan's office. He didn't dare to walk around, so he just sat and twisted his neck. He came today to talk to Zhen Fan about something important.
After 40 to 50 minutes, Zhen Fan led Alice in. His forehead was a little sweaty, and so was Alice, but it was obvious that her expression was very relaxed, with a smile on her face.
"I'll give her some traditional Chinese medicine as an auxiliary treatment. I'll get it to you later." Zhen Fan said to Cohens.
"Thank you very much!" Kerns nodded, "I...I don't even know what to say!"
"It's nothing, just remember what I said!" Zhen Fan nodded.
Kerns didn't get up immediately, but smiled at Alice: "Baby, go to the waiting room to play for a while, didn't you say you like Aunt Julia very much? Go!"
"Okay, Dad!" Alice left obediently, and when she walked to the door, she showed a few white teeth to Zhen Fan and narrowed her eyes.
"Goodbye, Alice!" Zhen Fan smiled and waved to him, then looked at Kerns with a serious expression, "I think you may have guessed something? Well, let me tell you the truth, regarding Alice's condition , my previous estimate may have been a bit optimistic."
When Kerns wanted to say something that Zhen Fan wanted to control, when he heard Zhen Fan say this, he was a little stunned, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
"I know you may be surprised. Alice has been doing well for a while, the pain has been greatly relieved, she can eat something, and she must have slept well, but...Kearns, it's just that I used acupuncture for a while. It’s just that she can control her illness, if she really wants to be cured, there is still a long way to go.”
"Do you need me to do something?" Kerns was obviously a little anxious. He stood up, a little at a loss, and had just begun to see good hope, but now Zhen Fan was pouring cold water on his head.
"I will go back to China in the near future. If I can find something called 'Shengyu Grass', I think the possibility of Alice's recovery will be higher." Zhen Fan said carefully.
"Is there no such traditional Chinese medicine in the United States?"
"No, there are no Chinese medicine stores in the United States, and even Chinese medicine stores in China probably won't have them, because this is my secret recipe!" Zhen Fan smiled, "Don't worry, Kerns, I will use Chinese medicine when I leave Temporarily suppressing the disease, although the pain may be a little bigger than acupuncture, but at least it is much better than before."
"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited!" Seeing Zhen Fan's smile, Kerns knew that he would definitely think of a way, and he was a little embarrassed by his impulsive and hasty tone just now.
"Actually, there is something I want to tell you today, about the Temecula gang!" Kerns looked at Zhen Fan while sitting upright. (To be continued.)
