Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 684 - 494: The Ultimate Luxury
Chapter 684 -494: The Ultimate Luxury
Before I knew it, November was just around the corner.
The air in Magic City was getting colder, and Song Yanxi, who found herself idle and left with only two hundred million in her pocket, casually called her sister Song Wu and Chen Qi, along with elder sister Chen Yao, to go shopping together.
She was actually quite at ease now. Little Third, Chen Lu, had his grandma and great-grandma to look after him, and Chen An’an and Er Piya both had to go to school during the day.
Only coming home after school let out in the afternoon.
With nothing else to do, she could take this opportunity to hang out more with her relatives. Actually, there was nothing in particular she needed to buy; they lacked nothing at home.
Women, after all, love to shop when they have nothing else to do.
...
Elder sister Chen Yao used to be very frugal, but not so much now. After the family’s income increased, there was no need for mortgage or car payments anymore.
She was now driving a Rolls-Royce Cullinan; as for the Lamborghini Urus, Xiao Ping’an was driving that.
Chen Qi was different; she had a lot of time, but little else.
Previously, her sister-in-law was busy expanding Water Cloud Space every day; how could she have time to enjoy eating, drinking, and having fun with her, a person with plenty of free time?
But now things were better, with Song Yanxi having more free time since the expansion of Water Cloud Space across eight cities was complete.
They could now pass the time just like other rich ladies in Magic City, eating and drinking whatever they want, and traveling wherever they wish.
Speaking of men’s watches and women’s handbags, women are more inclined to buy bags than an assortment of brand-name watches.
After the four of them finished shopping at the mall, it was already noon. Song Yanxi suggested that they should take a grand sea voyage with An’an during the winter break at the end of the year.
Her husband’s custom-made super yacht, which cost 2.6 billion US dollars to build, was due to arrive in December.
From design to completion, it took a total of three years.
This is not like those two hundred million small super yachts docked in Magic City; this is a twenty-something billion super yacht.
At a staggering 114 meters in length and five stories high, this epitomizes the height of luxury.
The berthing and maintenance fees for this super yacht cost at least fifty million a year.
Additionally, they need to hire a professional crew because they definitely cannot operate it themselves.
Moreover, Chen Pingsheng’s super helicopter parked on the helipad in Guangdong is also ready to be moved onto the yacht.
The yacht is equipped with two extra-large helipads.
Not only that, Song Yanxi also plans to deploy a Water Cloud Space team onboard so that when they set out to sea, they can enjoy a spa whenever they wish – the very ideal of a comfortable life.
And if that isn’t enough, she has also ordered six MANSORY modified Jet Ski watercraft from abroad.
The price is also not too steep at two hundred thousand US dollars each, designed specifically for water drifting.
These speedboats are incredibly fast, and both Chen An’an and Er Piya will surely adore them.
Chen Qi was dumbfounded upon hearing this; her brother was really setting up a mobile fortress at sea.
At that time, she only heard Chen An’an talking about how she wanted to get a super yacht for a global sea trip when she grew up.
Chen Qi thought it was just talk, but it actually came true.
And now, it’s almost ready to arrive at the largest pier in Xiangjiang.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
This is what really separates the true elites from the pretenders.
Anyone who can afford to spend tens of billions on a super yacht, no doubt, is at the very top of the wealthy class.
Such an item can only be enjoyed a few times a year, yet it requires close to a billion to maintain annually – how many rich people can actually afford this?
But I must say, I’m really looking forward to it.
The caprice that comes with wealth is simply that; one only needs to consider if they like it, without having to think about cost-effectiveness.
“Sister-in-law, is my brother really spending money like this now?” Chen Qi asked in surprise.
Song Yanxi said with a smile, “How your brother spends his money is his freedom, I don’t interfere.”
“Well, my brother is indeed a bit too extravagant now.”
Chen Qi giggled, “Even a little slippage from my brother’s fingers is enough for us to enjoy life every day. When there are a few extra houses in Xiangjiang, remember to give me one to live in!”
“If you want a house in Xiangjiang, just talk to your brother directly!”
Song Yanxi sipped her coffee and said, “Apart from the Baijia Dao villa we live in, we also have another vacant villa on Galleon Peak Road in Xiangjiang.
“The rest is just a big flat near Victoria Harbour that we bought for An’an when she gets older. If you go to Xiangjiang often, just take that place for yourself, An’an won’t be needing a house of her own anyway.”
“Really? That would be fantastic.”
Chen Qi did want to spend more time in Xiangjiang, at least as her aunt said, her brother would surely go there in January’s winter break and then take the whole family on a trip.
“It’s not a big deal, why would I deceive you?”
Song Yanxi was still very generous, at least much more so toward Chen Qi than anyone else.
Water Cloud Space’s opening owes its success largely to Chen Qi as the principal contributor.
Back then, it was her who called over a huge crowd from Sha City, which led to the establishment of Water Cloud Space as we see it today.
What’s a single apartment? The stocks she holds could casually surge and that would amount to several more apartments.
Soon, Song Shuiqing also arrived, accompanied by Tang Li.
Though Tang Li was also a second-generation rich kid, he might have some minor issues, like being a mama’s boy and the like.
But he genuinely lacked the common faults of many wealthy heirs, most notably he wasn’t fickle-hearted at all.
He spent many years studying abroad and only dated a foreign girl.
Later, when he realized he couldn’t handle a foreign girlfriend, as his size wasn’t up to par, he switched to a female international student from his home country.
Tang Ma insisted he return home after graduation, but the international student didn’t want to.
So they broke up after graduation.
After returning to his home country, he’s only been in one relationship, with a girl who was definitely beautiful and a print model.
Dating such a woman might be fine, but bringing her home, Tang Ma would definitely not approve.
Later on, it was through Song Yanxi’s introduction that he met his current girlfriend, Song Shuiqing.
A lot of second-generation rich kids are like this; parents won’t meddle too much with whom they date, regardless of the girl’s family background.
But when it comes to marriage, that’s definitely not going to fly.
Tang Li had come with Song Shuiqing, and soon after, Zhang Sitong arrived as well.
Her husband, Song Jun, might be a great chef, but he’s not exactly well-rounded socially.
Whether it’s family gatherings or maintaining relationships, it’s Zhang Sitong who always steps up.
As for the nephew on the younger aunt’s side, Yang Kang, his relationship with Zhou Ziyi wasn’t bad.
Yang Kang never went to college; after high school, he worked on the outside, endured hardships for years, and understood the difficulty of earning money.
Later, with the help of the family fund, he came to Magic City to start some small businesses, mainly opening a store on Pinduoduo.
Unlike Peng Yu, who was determined to become the domestic king of adult products, he was selling legitimate goods.
When these people gathered for a meal, wherever their cars parked, one could easily tell it was a wealthy gathering.
What was supposed to be a simple shopping trip changed as more people joined.
Chen Qi even took the initiative to ask about the reasons behind Chen Tan’s breakup with Meng Yuanyuan.
Song Yanxi briefly explained the situation, but didn’t want to delve further.
The gist was that Chen Tan’s mother hoped Pingsheng could bring at least 50 million US dollars as wedding funds for Chen Tan.
Moreover, she expected Meng Yuanyuan’s parents to buy a separate apartment just for the second aunt and second uncle.
Hearing this would scare off any normal woman outright.
Such a logical story, if applied to the corporate world, would seem quite motivational.
For instance, I want to become the CEO of Tencent.
First, I’d run to Ma Huateng and say, I’m Mr. Ma’s son-in-law.
Then tell Mr. Ma I am Tencent’s CEO and intend to marry your daughter.
After that, I’d tell Heaven and Earth Bank that I’m Tencent’s CEO and Mr. Ma’s son-in-law.
I’d hope they’d have the decency to offer me the position of national bank president for a shot.
Isn’t that precisely what Chen Tan’s family is doing right now?
Leveraging the Chen Family’s name to reap benefits without contributing a single dime, they want it all.
That’s impossible!
His situation is entirely different from that of Song Shuiqing who received a billion to start an internet celebrity agency.
The Tang Family also immediately invested 50 million, and later on, at least another 80 million in bride price to marry Song Shuiqing.
All of this money went straight into Song Shuiqing’s hands.
This was totally different.
Moreover, even after making money with the online company, Song Shuiqing was still expected to repay the initial billion.
That’s definitely not a bad deal at all!
