NOVEL NEXT Chapter 266 Negotiating Price
Not long after.
Huang Lili led Li Jing and Zhou Shun to board the yacht Li Jing had favored earlier.
Compared to the previous yacht, this one was evidently much more spacious.
To better familiarize Li Jing with the experience, Huang Lili called the captain to specially start the yacht for him.
Standing on the deck, Huang Lili gently shielded herself from the oncoming sea breeze with her hand, raising her voice slightly to overpower the sound of the waves, and loudly introduced to Li Jing:
"President Li, as you can see, we have already left the harbor and land behind.
Owning your own yacht means you can enjoy this space that's exclusively yours at any time, like a quiet island in the sea, temporarily isolated from the mundane, completely relaxing oneself."
Saying this, Huang Lili faced the sea and spread her arms wide, her professional attire unable to conceal her impressive figure.
She closed her eyes to enjoy: "Standing on the deck of the yacht, even the air you breathe is different from the city. Here, you can truly unwind, which is why so many executives often travel by yacht."
Li Jing looked around at the scenery, with the waves undulating, the sky and sea blending into one, vast views unobstructed by tall buildings, endless, indeed feeling an inexplicable sense of freedom.
Seeing Li Jing somewhat tempted, Huang Lili approached him, lifted his arms, gently resting against his back, and tenderly whispered in his ear:
"President Li, you can try it too, completely unwind, take a few deep breaths, feel the sea breeze on your face, gaze upon the endless water.
In such a broad scene, you'll realize how trivial any troubles seem."
Li Jing, initially surprised by the other person's initiative in getting close, indeed felt the allure of standing amidst the sea after hearing her introduction.
With the sea breeze lightly tugging at his clothes, a salty moisture seeped into Li Jing's heart.
Looking far into the distance, the sky and sea were indistinguishable, a seamless azure. The waves constantly chased each other, gently lapping against the hull. Sunlight poured down, the sea surface sparkling like shattered gold, as beautiful as a dream.
Li Jing couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling utterly refreshed, all worries like thin smoke blown away by the sea breeze, a sense of inner peace merging with the boundless ocean.
At this moment, Zhou Shun, having finished touring the other areas, walked onto the deck, full of admiration, ready to say something to Li Jing when he halted his steps, noticing Li Jing and Huang Lili nestled closely at the stern, his eyes widened.
"Such progress so fast? I remember Manager Huang wasn't so forward before? Does Brother Li have innate charm?"
The thought quickly flashed through Zhou Shun's mind and without delving deeper, he immediately turned away with tacit understanding and headed toward other areas.
Judging by the looks of it, as long as the yacht wasn't docked, he wouldn't come back to interrupt the two.
Gradually lowering his hands, Li Jing's focus returned from the vast sea surface.
Seeing Huang Lili still standing behind him, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Manager Huang, is your sales method always this unique?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Lili's expression slightly changed, hurriedly stepping back, then smilingly explained: "President Li, you're teasing. I have a boyfriend and I rarely get this close to customers.
It's just that President Li naturally makes people feel close, so I didn't mind it that much. I'm really sorry."
Seeing a few blushes on the other's cheek, Li Jing was no longer entangled in this topic, returning to the main subject, he asked, "What features does this yacht have?"
"As a medium-to-large luxury yacht, it has a master bedroom and a second bedroom, along with an independent bathroom and kitchen."
As the yacht was mentioned, Huang Lili immediately showcased her professionalism: "As you've seen earlier, the reception area has a retractable TV and dedicated KTV area. If you like playing mahjong, we can also set up a mahjong area."
Saying this, she stretched out her hand, inviting: "I can take you to see each area and room in detail."
After touring the various areas and rooms, Li Jing stood in the master bedroom, slightly surprised: "There's a shower in the master bedroom?"
"Yes, as a medium-large luxury yacht, these features are much richer and more complete than a small yacht."
Huang Lili opened the shower room door, then pointed to the window in the master bedroom: "Besides, as the owner's resting place, the master bedroom is not only spacious but provides an extremely broad view, allowing you to see the outside sea and surface, absolutely comparable to a five-star hotel experience."
Having seen all this, Li Jing was basically satisfied.
This yacht not only meets his needs in appearance, space, and functionality.
So Li Jing looked at Huang Lili's exquisitely styled face and asked, "If I want to buy this model, what's the final total price?"
Seeing Li Jing start to inquire about the price, Huang Lili felt a slight ripple in her heart, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes: "This model…"
Before finishing her sentence, an untimely phone ringtone abruptly sounded, interrupting their conversation.
Upon hearing the familiar ringtone, Huang Lili's expression slightly changed, quickly taking out her phone to turn it off, then apologized: "Sorry, President Li."
She continued to introduce: "This yacht, according to our latest offer, is a total of four hundred and thirty thousand."
"Four hundred and thirty thousand?"
Li Jing was not overly surprised by this price.
His sports car cost nearly four hundred thousand, considering the size and features of a vehicle, this yacht was already considered quite cost-effective.
Moreover, spending a large sum on a yacht, Li Jing could be sure it would activate his system's reward mechanism.
In other words, the more expensive the yacht, the more returns from system rewards he'd receive.
However, Li Jing didn't intend to buy a pricier yacht, firstly because it wasn't necessary, and secondly because the maintenance costs for yachts were indeed not cheap.
Although buying a yacht has system rewards, the scattered maintenance expenses likely wouldn't have additional reward returns.
After all, having bought a yacht, small expenses related to it wouldn't count as splurge enjoyment.
Seeing Li Jing silent, Huang Lili intuitively thought he was pondering the price, immediately smiling: "President Li, if you feel it's expensive, we can negotiate, and we can also offer some gifts..."
Before she finished speaking, the phone rang again, interrupting her words.
Huang Lili picked up her phone, found it was the same caller, frowned, and turned off her phone again.
Seeing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow and said: "If it's urgent, you can take the call, I'm not in a rush..."
Huang Lili promptly explained: "It's nothing, just my boyfriend calling, not sure what's gotten into him suddenly…"
Before finishing, the just-hung-up phone rang for the third time.
This time, Huang Lili couldn't bear it, picked up her phone intending to shut it down, but was stopped by Li Jing: "No need, go ahead and take the call, we're still at sea anyway, the yacht isn't docking soon, we have plenty of time to continue talking."
Upon hearing this, Huang Lili's expression changed slightly, hesitating for a moment, then bowed apologetically: "Really sorry, President Li, please hold on a minute, let me explain to my boyfriend, I'll be right back."
With that, she gave Li Jing a final apologetic smile, then turned around with a slightly somber face, stylish brows furrowed, picked up the phone, and walked out angrily.
