Xia Ruofei said to Qin Lan, "If it's convenient for you, why don't we fill up the tank now?"
Because there was still diesel left in the tank, they didn't know how much fuel they needed to fill up the tank. Although the yacht club was unlikely to do something like filling up the tank, Xia Ruofei felt that it was better to do it himself. Plus, he could pay the money on the spot, so that everyone could rest assured.
Qin Lan said, "Mr. Xia, if we want to fill up the tank, we need to drive the yacht to a special berth. It may take some time for us to find a yacht driver."
Qin Lan also considered that Xia Ruofei's time was precious, so she said that they would fill up the tank in the afternoon. After all, the yacht driver was arranged in advance, and it didn't mean that there would be someone available at all times. If they needed to fill up the tank immediately, then Xia Ruofei would have to wait here.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Manager Qin, you just need to contact the person who will fill up the tank. I can drive the yacht there myself."
"Ah?" Qin Lan was shocked and said, "Mr. Xia, this is not a joke. You need to be qualified to drive a yacht. The punishment for driving without a license is very serious!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat. Of course, of course, he took out his yacht driver's license from the Ring-Tu space. Then he handed it to Qin Lan and said, "Manager Qin, I have a license!"
Qin Lan was a little confused. She subconsciously took Xia Ruofei's yacht driver's license, opened it, and took a look. She found that the holder was really Xia Ruofei.
She didn't doubt the authenticity of the license, but she was a little surprised. Why would a rich man like Xia Ruofei spend time learning how to drive a yacht? Weren't they the kind of people who could spend hundreds of thousands of yuan every minute?
People who had money to buy a yacht usually hired professional drivers and sailors. For a yacht like Xia Ruofei's, there was a driver and two sailors, and at most two service staff. The salary of these people was not much!
However, these thoughts just flashed in Qin Lan's mind. She quickly came back to her senses and quickly returned the license to Xia Ruofei. She said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I didn't mean to suspect you, but I didn't expect you to get a yacht driver's license …"
"It's okay!" Xia Ruofei smiled Qin Lan. Manager Qin Lan, "Manager Qin, can we go fill up the tank?"
"Of course!" Qin Lan said. "I'll contact them right away!"

Translation... Qin Xia Let 'Translation... Let Translation..... let'. It's a good view! "
The deck of the bridge was located on the uppermost level of the yacht. It was the most open deck of the yacht.
This Azmu 100 Leonardo flying bridge was 11 meters long. At the very front of the deck, there was a second driving area. Here, the yacht could also be driven. Because there was no windshield, and the view was good, it was even better to experience the feeling of traveling at lightning speed.
In addition to the driving area, the deck of the yacht also had a lounge area, a jacuzzi with a sun mat, a large sun mat near the driver's seat, and a dining table for eight guests.
Although Qin Lan was a little afraid of the cold winter wind, she couldn't refuse the customer's request. Besides, it was not far from the refueling berth. She just had to bear with it. The refueling berth was originally operated by the yacht club, and it was one of the club's basic facilities.
Qin Lan followed Xia Ruofei to the deck of the bridge. Xia Ruofei sat in the driver's seat and started the yacht. Qin Lan stood next to him, giving him directions.
To be honest, Qin Lan was still a little unsure. After all, every time Xia Ruofei came to experience the yacht, he was driven by a professional yacht driver. She had never seen Xia Ruofei show that he knew how to drive a yacht!
But the yacht started steadily and slowly left the berth. Qin Lan's heart was at ease. She had been on all kinds of yachts and worked with different yacht drivers. When she saw Xia Ruofei's operation, she knew that he must know how to drive a yacht. That license was not bought with money.
In fact, although the yacht driver's license was not bought with money, Xia Ruofei did not spend a minute on training, nor did he take the test. Shi Qiang helped him get the license.
Of course, when Xia Ruofei was in the army, he received some crash training and mastered the basic operation. Then, he studied the yacht driver training materials and the operation manual provided by Shi Qiang very carefully. So, it was easy for him to drive this yacht.
The yacht slowly moved forward. After a while, it came to the refueling berth.
Xia Ruofei saw that there were refueling machines set up on the shore of several berths. This was equivalent to a gas station, but the object of refueling was the yacht in the water.
Xia Ruofei was more skilled after some operations. He controlled the yacht to dock accurately.
There were already staff waiting on the shore. They first fixed the yacht to the berth with the cable, then came over with the refueling gun to refuel the yacht.
The capacity of this yacht's fuel tank was about 11000 liters. It was about 60,000 yuan to fill it up. However, there was a surplus in the fuel tank, so in the end, Xia Ruofei paid about 50,000 yuan for the fuel.
Although it was not as exaggerated as 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, for ordinary people, this yacht was really not affordable.
After all, even if it was full of fuel, if the yacht sailed relatively far out to sea, the fuel would be almost used up in a round trip.
After refueling, Xia Ruofei drove the yacht back to his special berth and parked it. Then, he got off the yacht.
Before driving away from the yacht club, Xia Ruofei told Qin Lan that he would use the yacht to go out to sea tomorrow or the day after.
Of course, Xia Ruofei just said it casually. He did not need the yacht club to prepare a driver, nor did he need to bring any other staff.
After leaving the yacht club, Xia Ruofei contacted Liu Zhe again.
It was mainly about buying diesel. He thought that Liu Zhe's father was the leader of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, so he should have more dealings with large state-owned enterprises like "Two Barrels of Oil." If he asked for his help, he should be able to buy diesel smoothly.
After all, the gas stations did not sell diesel directly. They could only fill it up by car. If they wanted to buy it in bulk, they would usually go to the oil depot. However, the procedures were very troublesome and involved the approval of many departments.
When Liu Zhe heard that Xia Ruofei wanted to buy a batch of diesel wholesale, he did not ask Xia Ruofei why he wanted to buy diesel. He agreed immediately. At the same time, he asked Xia Ruofei how much he wanted to buy.
Xia Ruofei thought about it and said, "If possible, about 100 tons! Of course, if it is difficult, a little less is fine. "
His yacht's fuel tank had a capacity of about 10 tons. If he stored another 100 tons of diesel, it was equivalent to increasing the range by 10 times. At least, he could sail for thousands of nautical miles. If he used economic speed, he could even drive to Australia and back.
With such a long range, it was enough for him to sail freely on the sea.
After Liu Zhe heard it, he smiled and said, "Since Brother Xia has asked, how can I not? Besides, 100 tons is not a lot. I will help you with the relevant procedures. It can be done in a day! "
"Thank you so much!" Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Oh right, I need all of this diesel to be packed in oil drums. Then, help me send it to the designated location. I will pay for the oil drums and the transportation."
"No problem!" Liu Zhe said, "I will ask them to pack it all in 200L oil drums!"
Xia Ruofei calculated in his mind. The density of diesel was lower than that of water. One ton of diesel was about 1200L, which meant that it would need to be packed in six drums. 100 tons would be about 600 drums.
This kind of oil drum could be stacked several times. His warehouse in the city could hold it all.
Therefore, he said, "Okay! Liu Zhe, I will send you the address in a while. You can tell them that I will pay by cash or check. If they need to transfer the money, I can also transfer it to their account in advance. "
"Okay!" Liu Zhe said, "Brother Xia, just wait for my news!"
…
Liu Zhe was very efficient. In the afternoon, he called Xia Ruofei and told Xia Ruofei that the procedures were done. He also contacted the oil depot. 100 tons of diesel was only about 120000 liters. This amount of diesel was nothing to the oil depot, so there was no need to transfer the fuel.
However, because Xia Ruofei asked for all of it to be packed in the drums, it would take some time.
The oil depot started to fill the drums that afternoon. After working overtime at night, it would be delivered to the warehouse that Xia Ruofei designated the next morning.
Xia Ruofei was overjoyed and said, "Thank you! Liu Zhe, you have helped me a lot! "
Liu Zhe smiled and said, "Brother Xia, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me. You don't have to be so polite … Oh yeah, I will go with you tomorrow!"
"No need!" Xia Ruofei said, "Just give me the contact information of the people who are leading the team! I will go there in advance and wait for them. "
"Anyway, I have nothing to do tomorrow …"
"You don't have to go through so much trouble. Just let them know." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "And I may buy more than once! In the future, I will have to trouble you a lot. You can't always come with me to deliver the fuel! "
"Okay then!" Liu Zhe said, "Brother Xia, if there is anything, just call me directly."
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei started to organize his things.
He used the afternoon to go to the city to buy a lot of things, including food, drinking water, and other necessities for life at sea. He also bought some emergency equipment, survival equipment, and so on.
If it were an ordinary person, limited by the capacity of the yacht, they wouldn't be able to carry too much. However, Xia Ruofei had an almost unlimited storage space with him, so he didn't have to worry about this at all.
He didn't know how long he would be going out this time, and he didn't know what he would encounter at sea. Therefore, Xia Ruofei stored a lot of food, drinking water, spices, and so on. As for other supplies, as long as he felt that they might be useful at sea, he also bought a lot of them.
In the afternoon, he used several delivery trucks from the supermarket, as well as some delivery trucks from other stores. His villa in the city had become a courier transit station.
That night, after Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue practiced for a while, he sent her home early.
Xia Ruofei also told Ling Qingxue that he would be driving the yacht out to sea for a few days.
Of course, he first invited Ling Qingxue to go out with him. However, when she heard that he was going out for a few days to test the performance of the yacht, Ling Qingxue wanted to back out. After all, it was impossible for her to not go to the company for a few days in a row. She wasn't Xia Ruofei, who could just leave everything to others.
Xia Ruofei originally planned to go out to sea alone. As for going to the coastal waters with Ling Qingxue to enjoy some alone time, he would have to wait until next time.
After returning home, Xia Ruofei went to bed early.
The next day, he had a simple breakfast and sent Ling Qingxue to the company. Then, he drove straight to the warehouse in the city.
The fuel truck from the oil depot had not arrived yet, but a manager surnamed Wu had already contacted Xia Ruofei in advance and told Xia Ruofei that they had already set off. They should be arriving soon.
Xia Ruofei opened the door of the warehouse. Then, while waiting, he sent a WeChat message to Feng Jing on his mobile phone, telling her that he would be out for a few days and that there might be no signal at that time.
He also left the Maritime Satellite Phone number on the yacht with Feng Jing. This way, if there was any emergency and she needed to contact him, she would be able to find him.
Feng Jing was already used to Xia Ruofei's occasional shirking. She didn't even complain about Xia Ruofei. She just said that she understood and didn't say anything else.
Xia Ruofei waited for about ten minutes. Then, he saw a convoy of several large trucks coming from afar.
A middle-aged man in his forties jumped out of the first truck and said to Xia Ruofei, "Hello, are you Boss Xia?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "That's me! Are you Manager Wu? Thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your hard work! "
"Boss Xia, you're welcome! This is all part of our job! "Manager Wu said with a smile," The 600 barrels of diesel are all here! Mr. Xia, do you want to unload them in this warehouse? "
Xia Ruofei nodded. Then, he looked at the trucks and said, "Yes! The door here is higher. The truck can drive in directly to unload … "
"Okay, okay …" Manager Wu said.
Then, he waved his hand and called one of his subordinates over. He whispered a few words, and the first truck immediately started slowly. It sped up the small slope at the entrance of the warehouse and drove directly into the warehouse.
The stevedores brought by Manager Wu immediately ran into the warehouse and began to unload the truck quickly.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Manager Wu, "Manager Wu, let's settle the payment! Do you accept cash and checks? If it's not convenient, I can also go with you to the bank to transfer the money. "
"It's convenient! It's convenient! "Manager Wu quickly said," You can just give us cash and checks! "
Xia Ruofei nodded. He took out his checkbook and asked, "How much is the total?"
