Chapter 1648 'Salvage King' co-branded yacht?
The convoy of three vehicles drove along the mountain road. Kasin drove in the front to lead the way, and the two cars behind were Albrecht and his entourage.
Xiao Peng was sitting in the second car. Apart from the driver, there was only Zeman in the passenger seat, and Xiao Peng and Albrecht in the back. Xiao Peng was now staring at an IPAD in his hand, swiping on it continuously without saying a word.
"Is this the final design?" Xiao Peng looked up and asked Albrecht.
Albrecht nodded. "Yes, there are six designs in total. Which one do you prefer?"
Xiao Peng didn't even think about it: "The third one is a bit interesting, but I don't like the others."
Albrecht showed Xiao Peng several design plans from BMW's design company.
He was indeed looking for Xiao Peng because of the boat, the BMW yacht.
BMW has its own independent design studio and has been cooperating with luxury yacht manufacturers such as "Siri" and "Intermarin", mainly designing various 50-foot speedboats.
Albrecht's purpose in contacting Xiao Peng was very clear: BMW had now acquired a yacht production brand and was preparing to jointly launch small and medium-sized luxury yachts with Xiao Peng, with Xiao Peng participating in the design and enjoying the sales dividends.
In fact, Xiao Peng was not very interested in how much money he could make, but he was moved by Albrecht's words: although Xiao Peng was known as the "Salvage King", he only had one ship, the "Luna", to take girls out to sea.
The Luna was so large, and running the engines cost thousands of yuan, and a day at sea would cost tens of thousands of yuan. Even if Xiao Peng didn't care about the money, there were so many crew members on board. For a man, some things were better done in secret. Men, after all, need their own secret fortress, right?
This speedboat of about fifty feet is perfect for Xiao Peng's needs - and also for the needs of most wealthy people.
Zeman, sitting in the front row, looked at the design Xiao Peng favored on his iPad and smiled. "Mr. Xiao, you're quite discerning. Did you notice how many portholes this boat has? This yacht is fifty-seven feet long, and the design concept is 'open view.' Large portholes provide passengers with a broad view of the sea, making the interior appear more spacious and allowing for all-around natural light. Considering Mr. Xiao's frequent travels, this boat has been specifically designed with polar capabilities. Of course, it's not icebreaking, but small pieces of floating ice won't cause significant damage. The new Rolls-Royce engine further increases its endurance. Despite its small size, it's capable of significant long-distance travel."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "I see in the design that this boat can accommodate six people?"
Zeman replied, "I mean the most comfortable situation. The space on this ship is very well utilized. There is a master bedroom, two secondary bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining room, and a kitchen. The comfort of the ship is beyond words. Of course, you can also accommodate more people. If you want, more than a dozen people can go out to sea together. As for the electronic equipment on board, let alone, that's what we at BMW are best at."
Xiao Peng took the design and looked at it carefully.
Albrecht quickly struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Xiao, what are you dissatisfied with this ship?"
Xiao Peng answered directly, "Don't you think this boat looks too ordinary? I'm not satisfied with either the coating or the exterior design. Even if it's a small yacht, I want something that stands out from the crowd."
"That's easy!" Albrecht said. "How about this? I'll have the design team go to the Netherlands to discuss this with you in person. You're the one who's designing and manufacturing this ship, so of course you have to be personally involved. We'll go to the airport later and I'll go with you to the Netherlands. I'll have our design team go over there and sign our cooperation agreement!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "Albrecht, why are you so anxious?"
After hearing this, Albrecht said angrily, "How can I not be anxious? Seeing you is harder than seeing Merkel! I've already climbed the snow-capped mountains twice just to see you!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I can only say that every time you come to me, it's not the right time... Huh?"
Albrecht saw Xiao Peng looking out the window behind the car, and he asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the back and said, "This guy is riding a motorcycle, and that guy is quite handsome!"
Snow had already begun to fall, but a black motorcycle pulled up from behind their convoy. The rider was also dressed in black: black leather pants, a black leather jacket, and a black helmet. This look was particularly striking against the backdrop of the surrounding snow.
Zeman glanced through the rearview mirror and said with a hint of pride, "I didn't expect to see one of our BMW motorcycles here. That's an R18 cruiser. What do you think, Mr. Xiao? Isn't it handsome?"
Xiao Peng nodded sincerely.
Although BMW cars are well-known, BMW motorcycles actually predate BMW cars by six years. Now, BMW occupies a place among the world's top motorcycle brands!
"Is that a BMW? I thought it was a Harley. After all, heavy-duty endurance has long been dominated by American motorcycles. This car is a good car, but the person in it is not normal." Xiao Peng said.
"Why do you say that?" Zeman was puzzled.
Xiao Peng said, "He's not afraid of freezing to death even when driving a motorcycle in such heavy snow!"
Zeman said: "Mr. Xiao, this is the romance of motorcycle enthusiasts!"
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't understand this. There's a group of reformed ruffians in my family who play with motorcycles all day long. Look at all the cars I have. Sometimes they would rather ride motorcycles when they go out to do things."
Albrecht laughed and said, "If there weren't people like this, who would we sell our motorcycles to?"
Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up, indicating that what he said made sense.
As they were talking here, the motorcycle had already passed them and was driving side by side with Kasim's car.
Xiao Peng finally got a closer look at the BMW R18. It was enormous! The 180-hp engine was as powerful as a car's! That wasn't surprising, though. Cruisers were known for their size.
"It's starting to snow and you're still driving so fast. Aren't you afraid of falling to death?" Xiao Peng muttered.
Albrecht said, "There are quite a few extreme sports enthusiasts on the mountain. Who among those who love extreme sports isn't crazy?"
Xiao Peng was about to speak when he suddenly looked ahead in shock: "Stop the car!"
While Xiao Peng was speaking, Albrecht's driver had already stepped on the brakes: Albrecht was caught off guard and flew out, hitting the back of the front seat hard.
Before he could react, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards him: Xiao Peng jumped out of the car before it even stabilized!
Just a few seconds ago, the motorcyclist pulled out a pistol when he was parallel to Kashin's car and fired two shots at the right front tire!
