From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 781: Mei Ni

The next day, it was still a sunny day and everyone gathered in the lobby to set off. Because Liu Yimei was pregnant and it was not suitable for her to go out to sea, Liu Lili stayed in the hotel to accompany her and did not plan to go diving with everyone.

So Bruno took the remaining Vanessa and Liu Yimei's four best friends and rushed to the passenger terminal.

布鲁诺的这艘游艇是著名游艇品牌丽娃的最新型号丽娃88佛罗里达。作为丽娃巴哈马游艇的精神继承者，全新的丽娃88佛罗里达（Riva 88’ Florida）是一艘革新性的游艇，完美的在同一艘游艇上结合了开放式游艇和酷派式游艇。1号船于2014年底完工并下水，2015年初举行了官方全球首秀。

Riva 88 Florida features cutting-edge technological innovations, with an exclusive patent applied to this new project for the first time by the Ferretti Group. The Convertible Hardtop is an innovative system designed and developed by the Ferretti Group's AYT&D department together with the Group's technical partners, Besenzoni and Centro Stile. It transforms this new yacht into a versatile yacht: transforming from a coupé to an open yacht and vice versa, with a single, easy operation. The Convertible Hardtop system combines three different functions in a single system, as it allows the aerodynamic hardtop to be positioned in three different positions. This new Riva project offers exceptional performance, with the choice of different MTU engines.

As a standard version, Riva 88 Florida is equipped with two MTU 16V 2000 M96 engines, each with a power of 2638 hp, which can reach a maximum speed of 39 knots and a cruising speed of 34 knots, with a range of 315 nautical miles and 340 nautical miles respectively.

Of course, if you want to buy such a top luxury yacht, the money required is quite high. It cost Bruno 1000 million US dollars, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are needed for maintenance every year. It means that Bruno has a good income now, and Vanessa and Liu Yimei are also rich women, otherwise he would buy such a top luxury yacht when he has a Gulfstream G550 private jet.

Today, Bruno's annual salary after tax at Manchester United has exceeded 5000 million US dollars. Adding the endorsement fees from more than a dozen endorsement brands, Bruno's actual annual income has exceeded million US dollars, truly reaching the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Yosi.

Although Vanessa is no longer in the entertainment industry, she has become an angel investor. The 5000 million pounds she earned from Leicester City's championship has now doubled under Bruno's guidance, and she has become a real billionaire.

As a top star in China and a goddess in the eyes of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, Liu Yimei has an annual income of more than 2000 million US dollars, which is more than million US dollars.

And because he debuted early and accumulated wealth over the years, his total net worth is even higher than Bruno's, totaling more than 400 million US dollars.

Of course, with Bruno's current income, he will surpass Liu Yimei in a year at most.

It is precisely because of the high income of the three people that such a high level of expenses can be maintained.

………………

Liu Yan and the other four girls are all stars, so they have naturally ridden on yachts before, but this is their first time riding on a luxury yacht like the one they are on today, so after getting on board, everyone looked left and right on the yacht, and everything seemed very new to them.

Of course, Bruno was in charge of the captain's duties. This white yacht was very luxurious and comfortable, and it had all the equipment and facilities on board. It was not difficult for him to drive the yacht. There was an advanced GPS navigator on board, and it was relatively easy to operate.

The Italian who was in charge of handing over the yacht at the dock had brought the yacht from Italy a few days ago. He told Bruno all the details of driving a yacht.

This yacht was jointly purchased by Bruno and his wife after they got married last year. The name of the boat is "Meini", which is a combination of one character from Vanessa and Liu Yimei's names. It is usually moored at the Italian Yacht Club and is rarely used.

This time it took quite a bit of trouble to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

As a Riva 88 Florida-class yacht, "Meini" is a large yacht, 26.9 meters long and 6.3 meters wide. It has four luxurious cabins, including a full-beam master cabin, a VIP cabin and two guest cabins. It can easily accommodate more than 20 passengers, Bruno and Vanessa, and Liu Yimei's four girlfriends. There is plenty of space for six people.

………………

After making sure everything was correct, Bruno drove the yacht through the wind and waves towards his destination.

Sailing into the deep sea, the water turned into a dark blue. It was very clean, with almost no garbage or floating objects. The sea and sky were one color, and the blue waves were vast, giving people a refreshing feeling.

On the waterway, the yacht occasionally passed by some fishing boats. The women greeted the fishermen working on the boats, and the fishermen responded to them enthusiastically.

Soon after going out to sea, the girls' novelty of the sea disappeared a lot. They all came to the cockpit and asked Bruno to let them drive the yacht. What could be more fun than this?

Bruno was no match for them, and now they were in the deep sea with no other ships around. Even if they were allowed to rush around here, there was no need to worry too much. So he gave up the captain's position and let An Yi and Tang Yan have their fun.

Feeling the sea breeze, everyone tried to drive the yacht one by one, it was so pleasant.

Fortunately, with GPS navigation, they did not deviate from the route.

After three hours of driving, a small island appeared faintly on the horizon.

"Hey... come and look, San Salvador Island is right ahead!" An Yi ran to the bow and pointed ahead, shouting excitedly.

When she was driving the yacht just now, she increased the horsepower to maximum, and the "Meini" cut through the thorns and waves, riding the wind and waves, looking so majestic.

Several girls rushed to the bow together. They saw seagulls flying in the sky, and it seemed that they would reach their destination soon.

Bruno continued to steer the boat while they went to the island to meet the diving instructor.

………………

Vanessa flipped through the travel brochure and told everyone that San Salvador Island is one of the easternmost islands in the Bahamas and is actually the peak of an underwater mountain range that emerges from the water. There are many monuments, ruins and shipwreck sites on the island, reflecting the island's rich and colorful history. The miles of pristine beaches are hidden in the middle of the steep coast. The water is sparkling and clear, and diving enthusiasts can have visibility up to 150 feet underwater. The island is dotted with inland lakes, where many relics of eighteenth-century colonists are waiting to be discovered. There is also a whitewashed Catholic cathedral on the island, which is also a museum.

"It's so strange. Europeans traveled thousands of miles to this island to build a church. What on earth did they want to do? Are there many people living on the island?" Tang Yan asked puzzledly.

Although An Yi is the youngest among the girls, she has the highest level of education. She did not study acting in college, but English. She also has a good understanding of Western history. Upon hearing this, she explained, "That is a kind of cultural invasion. As far as I know, in 19th century Europe, the Vatican had great power, and at that time the missionaries of the Vatican were promoting their Catholic doctrines all over the world. The Bahamas used to be a British colony. In addition to occupying it by force, the British naturally could not avoid cultural and spiritual invasion."

She paused and emphasized, "To be precise, this kind of church is more like a stronghold, an outpost for cultural and spiritual aggression by the great powers!"

"Okay," Vanessa clapped her hands and smiled, "Let's not talk about this anymore. There are very beautiful coral reefs in the shallow waters near San Salvador Island, known as the 'underwater garden'. We will go diving there later. I think it will be fun."

………………

When we arrived at San Salvador Island, we decided to first visit the Catholic Church of Our Lady mentioned in the travel brochure.

There are many unique sea erosion, marine deposits and volcanic lava landscapes on the island. Anyway, they plan to stay on San Salvador Island for two days and one night, so they have plenty of time and are not in a hurry.

After touring the entire island, everyone came to the Octopus Diving Club on the island. The club was responsible for providing them with all the diving equipment, and there were coaches who taught them how to use it one-on-one, which was very convenient.

Bruno had practiced diving before, so all of this was child's play for him. In fact, the coral reefs in the waters of San Salvador Island are all in shallow waters, only one or two meters deep. When the tide is low, the coral reefs will be exposed on the sea surface. With a diving goggles with an air tube, you can dive in one breath, and there is no need for a respirator. It is said that many residents on the island dive to catch corals in this way.

Several girls are not very good at swimming, and they were a little worried at first. However, diving here is relatively simple. The lead blocks on the diving suits will bring them to the bottom of the sea. After understanding the specific situation, they felt relieved and were eager to try.

After everything was ready, the women returned to the yacht with their diving equipment and set off.

The water conditions were just right today, so Bruno chose a secluded diving spot and anchored the yacht.

Because all the girls needed his care, in order to avoid accidents, Bruno asked them to go down in batches. Everyone understood that this was a matter of safety, and they all nodded in agreement.

………………

The first group to go into the water were An Yi and Tang Yan, Vanessa, Liu Yan and Zhang Jingying, all of them were waiting on the yacht with their hands ready.

San Salvador Island is indeed worthy of its reputation. There are clear green waters here. After Bruno accompanied An Yi and the others to dive into the seabed, colorful coral reefs of various shapes suddenly appeared in front of them. It was so beautiful. Fishes occasionally swam among the coral reefs. It was a colorful underwater world.

An Yi was very bold. She actually dived to the bottom of the sea to touch the lemon shark.
