Chapter 440 Buying a yacht comes with hidden rules

Ten minutes ago.

Hong Kong Island, Stanley Street, Central, in front of Lu Yu Teahouse.

Carla Jaeger-Berneteau, she raised her head nervously and looked at the signboard above the tea room.

Carla didn't recognize the traditional Chinese characters "Lu Yu Teahouse" on the signboard.

Fortunately, below the Chinese signboard, the English name of Lu Yu Tea Room is written in very eye-catching English.

This prevented Carla from being completely confused.

Last night, Carla came over from France overnight.

Looking at this sign now, she guessed that this should be a similar existence to French cafes.

Chinese people like to drink tea, and even she, who is French, has heard about it.

After passing the security check and search by the female bodyguard, Carla successfully entered this very flavorful Chinese teahouse.

In the corridor inside the teahouse, Carla waited nervously for the call from the world's richest man inside.

She is one of the sales managers of the luxury yacht department of the French Beneteau Group, which mainly targets American wealthy people.

Her position is relatively deserted within the Beneteau Group.

Because even if Beneteau's luxury yachts are well built, their acceptance among the wealthy has always been much lower than those of traditional luxury yacht manufacturers such as Azimut, Betty, Ferretti, and Riva.

What's more, American wealthy people like traditional luxury brands such as Azimut and Ferretti more than Europeans.

When it comes to luxury and advanced customization, the New World has never been able to compete with Old Europe.

No matter how good the technology of Beneteau Group is, its reputation in the United States is very poor.

Even in mainland Europe, it is actually like that.

So it is conceivable that the sales department of the Beneteau Group's yacht subsidiary is still responsible for the American field, and Carla's job in the Beneteau Group is relatively uncomfortable.

As the saying goes, misfortunes depend on blessings, and blessings depend on disasters.

Because the person in charge is a wealthy person from the United States, Carla's performance has been very poor.

This makes it difficult for her, who comes from an excellent background, to get ahead within the group.

However, a few days ago, the yacht company of the Beneteau Group received an order intention from the United States.

A company called the Smith Family Fund submitted a purchase intention to the Beneteau Group.

It is claimed that the company intends to order several luxury sailing boats and customize an ultra-luxury yacht from the Beneteau Group.

This is a rare luxury yacht order from the Beneteau Group from a wealthy American.

The Beneteau Group attaches great importance to this, and we are even more delighted that Carla happens to be in charge of this field.

After the Beneteau Group finds out the true identity of this customer, he is the world's richest man, Abel Smith.

Carla's job was almost taken away by others.

Because of Abe Smith's relationship, the deserted department instantly became a popular department.

Fortunately, her relationship is very tough and she can't stand out, but it's not that easy for others to steal her things.

Guests request door-to-door service from Beneteau Group.

Carla Jaeger-Berneteau was so happy that she rushed over from France overnight.

She first ran to New York and found out that Abel had gone to Han.

She didn't even take a break and immediately ran behind Shou Er.

It was also discovered that Abel had left Shouer and went to Hong Kong Island.

Carla worked tirelessly, chasing after Abel, and rushed from Shouer to Xiangjiang overnight.

For several days in a row, she spent most of her time in heaven...

Fortunately, this time, she finally waited for Abel on Hong Kong Island.

Now she wants to come to Abel as a yacht ordering consultant sent by the Beneteau Group to provide door-to-door services for Abel.

I waited in the corridor of Lu Yu Teahouse for about a few minutes.

Carla, who was feeling a little nervous, was finally informed that she could go inside to meet the world's richest man.

Carla did not rush in, but first picked up the small makeup mirror she carried with her to check her appearance.

After finding nothing wrong, she took a deep breath, gathered her energy and walked inside.

Halfway through, she met Huo Yiguan who came out.

Lao Huo was not tall and only reached the shoulders of Carla who was wearing high heels.

The old man nodded politely to her, and Carla responded with a smile.

After responding, he appeared in front of Carla within two steps.

It was Abel who was sitting alone at a classical Chinese dining table surrounded by several bodyguards and some assistants, expertly tasting delicious Cantonese dim sum with chopsticks.

"Boss, Miss Beneteau is here."

Carla saw a man who looked like a butler, leaned over and spoke to Abel Smith respectfully and softly.

Carla had seen this man who looked like a butler.

It was this man who went to the French headquarters of the Beneteau Group in person.

In the headquarters, even the Madam Chairman and Mr. CEO were extremely respectful in front of him.

Unexpectedly, this kind of character is just a butler.

Carla thought about it and understood quickly.

That is the butler of the world's richest man. Faced with such a butler.

It seems understandable that the chairman of the Beneteau Group personally accompanied him.

Carla was thinking wildly and watched as Abel's attention shifted from the food to herself.

Even though she had been mentally building up for a long time, Carla still felt a little nervous at the moment.

She also finally saw the face of Abel Smith.

Too handsome too.

Carla thought to herself.

Anna Wintour seems to be telling the truth when she says that he is a living, walking incarnation of Apollo.

"Hello, Miss Beneteau. My name is Abel Smith. Nice to meet you."

Carla saw him smiling and saying hello to herself.

Although I am very nervous, I have been preparing for it for so long.

Carla took a deep breath quietly.

"Hello, Mr. Smith, my name is Carla Yeager Beneteau. I am currently the director of Beneteau Yachting in North America. Our Beneteau Yachting is the world's top yacht brand. I brought us

Our designers have drafts of some of their best works. We will definitely be able to perfectly present any of your preferences for this yacht of yours!”

To be honest, Carla had recited this long opening sentence for a long time before she met Abel.

At this time, I read it all in one breath and very smoothly.

Carla herself felt relieved.

When she saw the extremely handsome man in front of her, she smiled and nodded:

"The reason why I didn't go to Azimut, Ferretti and the others, but to Beneteau, is because I fell in love with you."

The Beneteau Group is the world's largest sailboat manufacturer and one of the largest power boat manufacturers in the world.

However, its luxury yacht department was actually just established in the 1980s.

At a time when brands like Azimut and Riva were already famous all over the world.

Beneteau is still just a small company in France that produces fishing boats and sailing boats.

It even nearly went bankrupt after the death of founder Benjamin Beneteau.

Later, in the 1960s, Benjamin Beneteau's granddaughter, Annity Beneteau Huss, and her brother, Andre Beneteau, began to manage the company.

Since then, Beneteau has begun to rise. In less than 40 years, it has become one of the largest power boat manufacturers in France and even Europe.

One of Abel's purposes when looking for the Beneteau Group was to order his first yacht from this company, which was technologically advanced in all aspects but lacked some popularity.

That’s right, my first yacht.

Although Abel bought Ikana a yacht "Ivanka", Anne and Jessica also had their own yachts.

They were all given by him.

They are all very luxurious, worth tens of millions of dollars.
