Franchise God Episode 1627

348. Big Hand of Private Board ⑴

Total length 220m, maximum height 70m.

Considering that the Sejong the Great-class and Zumwalt-class ships are 166m and 190m long respectively, they are of a world-class level for a ‘personal yacht’.

It means that it is a number that cannot exist in royalty.

Only someone like the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia can afford to use a ship worth 800 billion won as a personal yacht.

Even on such a large ship, there are only 99 cabins, meaning that only 99 teams can be accommodated.

At first glance, it looked like just a very large, sleek, and stylish cruise ship.

The moment they stepped aboard, the sailors were overwhelmed by the splendid structure, tailored to the tastes of oil barons.

The moment I saw it, my mind was swept away.

“What, what is this… …

“Is this paradise?”

The more I look around, the more my legs start to shake and I feel like I might fall over.

I am afraid that I will have to take off my combat boots right now, and that I will dare to walk around with my shoes on.

“Oh, that won’t work!”

One sailor, crushed by the spirit of the Arab royalty, cried out in agony, took off his shoes and held them in his arms.

“Me too, me too!”

“Eww!”

The first sailor’s shoe removal became a trigger that was passed on to the other sailors.

“What are you doing! Put them on right now!”

“Sir, but… … .”

“Are you trying to lose face in front of the crew? Put your shoes on right now.”

As Choi Tae-woong shouted loudly, the sailors looked around and put on their boots one by one.

The sergeants who had been hunched over as if to say, “We should take off our clothes too,” were only then relieved.

After taking a quick look around the cruise ship, we started asking questions one by one to see if we were getting used to it.

“Senior, when did you buy such a nice yacht?”

“Sergeant Kim, this is not a yacht, it’s a cruise ship. Where in the world can you find a yacht like this?”

“Hey, it’s not entirely wrong, since some really large cruise ships are called yachts.”

“I was just looking for a yacht and found this one for sale, so I bought it.”

“Excuse me, but what is the price range… …?”

“Even if it’s used, it’s expensive. I bought it for 80 billion.”

In reality, it was bought for 50 billion HA, but Choi Tae-woong made a good excuse.

“Huhhh!”

“Wow, eight hundred billion!”

Everyone was terrified.

I knew that Choi Tae-woong was rich, but I was troubled by his nonchalant attitude in talking about 80 billion won.

‘They said he was the illegitimate child of a conglomerate family. Is that really true?’

‘Come to think of it, isn’t he related to His Majesty the Marshal?’

‘Is it true that the rumor about Palmer’s Goldilocks Zone player is true? Wait, but it says 50 billion HA, so does that mean it’s not true?’

‘What exactly do you do…?’

“Each person can have their own room.”

“… … The guest rooms are much larger than our main house.”

“Let’s just sleep together in one room. I think that will make me feel more comfortable.”

“Hey, what’s the point of sleeping with your seniors and superiors when you go out? Just use separate rooms. And there’s a rule you must follow. If you break it, you won’t be able to use the yacht when you go out on vacation.”

Everyone’s faces brightened at those words.

“From now on, you said? Does that mean I can continue to use this yacht in the future?”

“Oh, you can use it. That’s what I bought it for. I told my unit members to use it as much as they want, so you can bring your parents, friends, or lovers.”

“Wow!”

“As expected, the supply officer is the best! He’s the best!”

“You can use the yacht facilities as much as you want, and don’t worry about what others think, just ask for whatever you want. And as for the rules I mentioned earlier, you must follow.”

“…..”

“…..”

Everyone swallowed dry saliva and stared at Choi Tae-woong’s face.

What on earth will they say?

“Honestly, isn’t it uncomfortable to keep a strict hierarchy even outside the base? But that doesn’t mean that we should ignore the ranks and treat each other like brothers outside the base.”

I’m starting to get a feel for what he’s trying to say.

“On this yacht, regardless of rank, let’s be mindful of our words and actions as if we were with family. Corporal Kim, you met Corporal Park’s parents outside, so how can you treat Corporal Park so rudely?”

“Oh, no. That can’t be.”

“Just act with that mindset. If you break this, you won’t be able to use the yacht again.”

“All right!”

“all right!”

The soldiers and non-commissioned officers answered with bright faces and courage.

“Excuse me, my girlfriend is coming down this evening. Can I sleep here with her?”

“Feel free to use it.”

“Wow, my girlfriend would really love this. She loves vacations.”

“Can I have some barbecue? The boat is so fancy, I don’t feel like it.”

“If you need anything, just tell the crew. They’ll listen to anything except what they can’t.”

* * *

The sailors all had a great time together.

The yacht had all the cultural facilities, including a PC room, a theater, a cafe, a swimming pool, a gym, and an aquarium.

The girlfriend of a soldier who came down here from Seoul was also very satisfied and said this.

“Can’t we just stay here for the rest of our vacation?”

“Of course. He said he would be the supply officer. Use it as you wish.”

“Wow, thank you so much.”

“But where did the supply officer go? Seong-taek, have you seen the supply officer by any chance?”

“Sir, you are fishing at the stern.”

“Really? But these days, the fish stocks are drying up, so even if you go fishing, you can hardly catch anything, right?”

Everyone had a dreamlike time.

To the point where ridiculous incidents like coming out on vacation and not stopping by home but just hanging out around the base and then returning home happen.

I was planning to spend the whole vacation with my girlfriend anyway, so there was no need to go home.

And this rumor spread throughout the base by soldiers who returned from their overnight leave.

“Really? Chief Supply Officer Choi Tae-woong has such a fancy yacht?”

“I really thought that was a yacht that royalty rides.”

“Hey, that’s too much.”

“No. You would never say that if you saw it in person. The crew members are all handsome and beautiful and always treat you kindly. Wow, once you ride it, you will realize that this is what Royal is all about.”

“Is that it…?”

“Should I ask for a ride next time?”

“They say that anyone in our unit can use it without having to specifically tell the supply officer.”

“Okay, then I guess I’ll have to go there sometime during my sleepover this weekend.”

“I have an overnight stay on Monday, so I guess I’ll have to go then.”

“Oh, but there is one rule for using the yacht that the supply officer insisted on… … .”

The sergeants who came back from their overnight leave on Monday were full of praise.

“This is no joke. I thought it was an exaggeration when they said it looked like a yacht that only royals would ride, but it was real.”

“What yacht is much larger than the Zumwalt? It’s so big, but it only has 99 rooms, and each room is like a penthouse in a luxury hotel.”

“I asked the crew and they said the battlefield is 220 meters long. Can you imagine?”

When the soldiers and sergeants who had returned on Monday unanimously praised him, even the officers above the rank of sergeant began to feel curious.

However, unlike soldiers, juniors, and peers, it was difficult for officers above the rank of sergeant to just go to the yacht. This was because they still had to save face as seniors and superiors.

They waited for Choi Tae-woong to return and quickly clung to him to get his approval.

“It’s okay to use it, but there are rules you must follow on the yacht.”

“Oh, don’t worry. The soldiers will just pretend it doesn’t exist.”

“That’s not what I meant… … .”

“No. Then, if you happen to see a soldier with his family outside, would you go forward and pretend to know him?

It means that I just pretend not to know and let them pass by and spend time comfortably with their families.”

Choi Tae-woong’s popularity increased in the unit.

Even the generals heard the news and came to see Choi Tae-woong.

“Supplier Choi Tae-woong, I have a favor to ask… … .”

“I’m sorry, but I only allow young single people to use it. The original reason I bought the yacht was to provide a good experience for young sailors living abroad when they visit their families or lovers.”

“Oh, I see. I’m sorry. I was too greedy.”

“However, I am also thinking of holding a party on board for married couples once every two or three months. I will definitely invite you, Commander, so please come and grace the occasion.”

“Oh, I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Choi Tae-woong, who was rumored to be rich, was originally a person that even a chief warrant officer or a three-star general would find difficult to mess with.

After the appearance of the yacht, he became untouchable within the Navy.

At the same time, it made other units, regardless of land, sea, or air, feel sad and ask, ‘Why don’t we have a supply officer like that?’

[50,000,000,000HA]

The Saudi crown prince kept looking at the numbers on his mobile phone display, seemingly never getting tired of it.

“A more beautiful unit than the dollar. Don’t you think so?”

Game money 50 billion HA.

If used in Korea, it would be possible to purchase 50 billion won worth of agricultural and marine products from swimming farms.

If used in Saudi Arabia, it can purchase 50 billion won worth of crude oil.

If used in the United States, it can be converted into $900 million (900 billion).

You trade in a used yacht (less than a year old) for something much more valuable.

So, he entrusted 20 years’ worth of maintenance costs to a shipping company and piled up valuable precious metals, luxury watches, and gold bars with high liquidity.

The precious metals stored in the captain’s private cabin on the top floor (originally used by the crown prince) are worth 100 billion won.

About 100 billion won in Korean won, euros, and dollars were stored separately in a safe.

This is more than enough to reflect the fair price of the first online auction.

“Minister of Finance, as you said, HA will be left unused for the time being.”

“It’s a sound decision. HA’s value will continue to rise as the famine worsens.”

I didn’t participate in the auction just to make 18 times the profit as an American businessman.

It was a stepping stone to prepare for future food threats.

In Arab countries where tiny meat is not allowed due to laws, HA, which allows the purchase of halal food, could one day be of great help.

“Did the yacht remodeling go smoothly?”

“Yes. The buyer was happy with the original interior, so there wasn’t much to add other than a new paint job for the exterior.”

“Hmm, take extra care of him from now on. He’s the Chief Quartermaster of the Korean Navy, so he’s likely someone that Admiral Ha Su-yeong cherishes. He might even be a relative.”

“I instructed you to do so.”

“And how are things going with the food storage?”

“It will be completed soon.”

“Then I guess it’s time to start preparing to fill up the storage.”

Saudi Arabia, too, has been building a giant food storage facility in response to the growing food crisis.

In particular, the most attention was paid to the cold storage.

Ultra-low temperature cold storage facilities capable of long-term storage at temperatures below -50 degrees Celsius can maintain the original fresh taste of any meat all year round.

Experts say that theoretically it can be stored indefinitely, as long as no loss of taste is taken into account.

“The cold storage is highly efficient because it supplies electricity by arranging refrigerated containers, and food can be easily put in and taken out. The refrigerated containers also have their own batteries, so even if there is a temporary interruption in the power supply due to an accident, the temperature can be prevented from rising.”

“Very good. Now bring in the containers.”

“Yes. I will place the order in Korea.”

“Please place orders not only in Korea but also in the US if possible. First, securing the quantity is urgent.”

The crown prince added, snapping his fingers.

“First, stockpile enough meat to feed all Saudi citizens for 30 years.”
