Chapter 293 The first yacht transaction of the year

The first name that came to Han Yi's mind was Han.

Han, Han, Han, no matter what it means, it will be a unique landscape on the Mediterranean.

But how can there be any reason to go to great lengths to keep it secret, only to end up with your last name hanging on the side of the ship?

It was like an emperor paying a private visit incognito. All the disguise work was done, but in the end he went out on the street wearing a dragon robe.

What should it be called?

This gave Han Yi, who was a poor family member, troublesome to name.

Then take a look at the superyachts currently floating on the sea for inspiration.

As of 2016, the world's largest superyacht is the Azzam, which was also built by Lusen Shipyard, with a hull length of 180.61 meters and was delivered in 2013. Its owner is the famous Middle East tycoon "MBZ", Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and his brother Sheikh Khalifa. After his health deteriorated sharply since 2014, The de facto ruler of this emirate.

The name of the yacht, Azzam, means "resolute" in Arabic.

In managing a wealthy chiefdom with 1070 billion barrels of crude oil and wealth measured in trillions of dollars, resoluteness is naturally the spirit that MBZ must practice.

The second largest superyacht in the world is the flagship work of Mariotti Shipyard, with a length of 164 meters and was just delivered in 2016. Its owner, Haitham bin Tariq Al Said, is a cousin of the current Sultan of Oman and is recognized as the most likely heir to become the 15th monarch of Oman.

Haitham bin Tariq named the yacht Fulk Al Salamah, which means Ship of Peace.

Oman borders the Gulf of Oman to the north and the Arabian Sea to the east. Its capital, Muscat, has been a distribution center for global maritime trade since ancient times. Although they live next to Yemen, there is a big gap between the two countries not only in terms of political situation but also economic construction. Yemen has been in war for a long time, and terrorism and separatism are prevalent, while Oman insists on peaceful development and builds its country on tourism and agricultural trade.

As the crown prince who is about to inherit the throne, Haitham bin Tarik used his most expensive toys to express his philosophy of governing the country.

The third largest superyacht in the world belongs to Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. This 162.5-meter behemoth was built by him and commissioned by Blohm + Voss. It was delivered in 2010. For a long time, it was known as the "15 billion dollar yacht" because of rumors that this was an unheard-of offshore yacht. The palace cost Abu a total of 15 billion US dollars. But in fact, the total contract signed between Blom + Fox and Abramovich was 5.5 million euros. According to the exchange rate at the time, it was equivalent to almost 7 million U.S. dollars, which was more than half less than the rumors.

This is the reality that Abramovich needs to face. Since he bought Chelsea in 2003 and began to build the first gold-dollar club in the history of new century football, the total amount of wealth he actually owns has been talked about. tabloid topic. The relationship between Abramovich and the Russian President has always been friendly. According to media reports, although Abramovich is not the closest to the "Putin's Wallet", he still has many clues that he shares the interests of the Russian official.

The name of the ship, Eclipse, is a good reflection of Abramovich's attitude towards these speculations. Eclipse refers to a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse, or any other phenomenon that casts a shadow and blocks the light from the sky.

There is also the Dubai number owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. You don’t need to search to know which emirate its owner rules. The Dilba owned by Alisher Usmanov, another Russian oligarch, was named after his deceased mother. Of course, there is also the TV number that once belonged to the Azcaraga family and is now transferred to Han Yi. The names of these superyachts all have a hidden meaning that is important to their owners.

So, what is the most precious thing to Han Yi?

There is no doubt that family and lovers come first, and career second, but he does not intend to show off like Abramovich or Usmanov and let the world know that those two yachts are their toys. After all, the lessons learned from the past... no, it should be said that the lessons learned six years later are still fresh in our minds. As soon as the war started, the two rich men received the most severe personal sanctions in history.

Abramovich lost his beloved Chelsea, and Usmanov's Dilba, which symbolized his beloved mother, was also directly seized by the German government.

Therefore, Han Yi would never allow himself to be exposed in such trivial details.

Even if something unexpected happens in the future, it cannot affect those he loves and those who love him.

Then... settle for the next best thing.

If the most precious things in life cannot be named...

Maybe use the thing that has the deepest impact on him and changes him the most.

memorandum.

Memo.

It is simple and easy to remember, but it has far-reaching significance to Han Yi himself. It is also an absolutely safe code that outsiders, even his closest friends, will never know the true meaning of.

Memorandum Company, Memorandum No.

It sounds like Umbrella Corporation, quite a bit post-apocalyptic.

Han Yi, who pays attention to copyright, even asked for their opinions in his mobile phone memo.

The response to him was silence as always. In Han Yi's view, this was considered acquiescence.

Therefore, Han Yi, who decided to buy the TV number on September 9, thought of a name on October 30, and arranged for Antoine Gachet to start the registration of the company in the Cayman Islands on October 10. Generally speaking, it takes about two weeks to prepare a company's registration application documents, but Jordan Bromley knows the character of his big client and has helped others make at least hundreds of company registration applications in Cayman. Manate Entertainment has a complete set of templates, you just need to put your name on it.

The two-week application process was compressed to 48 hours by Jordan Bromley. After the General Registration Office of the Cayman Islands receives the application, according to officials, the time it takes for the government to approve and issue a business license is about three to four working weeks. After obtaining the business license, the company can open a company account in a bank in the Cayman Islands, which will take another two weeks.

But there's no problem that money can't solve, especially in the Cayman Islands, a small West Indian island made of money. After paying the expedited fee of 400 Cayman, Han Yi obtained the business license of Memo Inc. within 24 hours.

Four working weeks, 24 hours a day, 28 days, worth Cayman 400.

Not surprisingly, the establishment of corporate accounts is also processed on an expedited basis. This time, Han Yi didn't even have to pay for expedited fees. He deliberately avoided CIBC, the First Caribbean International Bank they had used to remit money to the United States, and chose the largest licensed bank in the Cayman Islands, Bidfield.

Butterfield & Son Limited, officially known as The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited, is a company headquartered in Bermuda. It mainly provides services to Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey and other West Indian islands, as well as the Bahamas, Professional financial services are provided to clients in Switzerland, Singapore and the UK. The current cash assets under management have exceeded US$137 billion.

Not only is it more than the US$124 billion of CIBC First Caribbean Bank, it also has a huge lead in the West Indies region.

Han Yi chose this bank not only because it is the largest in the Cayman Islands and the least prone to problems, but also because of the licensee behind it.

In March 2010, the Biederfeld Group announced a loss of 3 million and announced that institutional investors led by CIBC and the Carlyle Group would purchase a majority stake in the bank by injecting $2.13 million in cash.

David Rubinstein and his Wall Street Capital Group are the owners of this bank.

With Rubinstein sitting behind the scenes, the safety and confidentiality of Han Yi's yacht assets have been greatly improved. First of all, he has a total investment portfolio of 15 billion US dollars in the Carlyle Group. In Rubinstein's eyes, Han Yi and his family must be at the top of the tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars. Buying a ship worth [-] billion US dollars A yacht of this class cannot be said to be ordinary, but at least it is reasonable and there is nothing suspicious at all.

Secondly, the relationship between Hanyi and Carlyle Group is originally a customer-service provider relationship. Providing information security network and privacy protection for important customers is one of the most important functions of these capital management groups. If Han Yi puts forward additional confidentiality requirements, Carlyle Group will definitely be able to assist Bidelfeldt Bank in completing the task with quality and quantity, leaving no trace from the Cayman Islands to the United States.

This is indeed the case. Han Yi just sent a text message and casually asked David Rubinstein about Biederfeldt's situation. He didn't mention anything else. The next day, Biederfeldt opened the Dwight Mellen, the assistant vice president in charge of private banking business in the Isles of Man office, made an overseas phone call to Han Yi.

On the phone, Dwight Mellen almost told this important customer who Rubinstein had personally told him to treat with caution in an almost respectful manner that they had set up a private bank account for him with no minimum deposit limit and attached I gave him a Butterfield/AAdvantage MasterCard Black Card.

There is no annual fee of $350 and no minimum spending of $20000 per year.

The reason why Biederfeldt was so generous was not just for David Rubinstein's sake. The Dwight Mellon and Cayman Islands branches are well aware that they deal with a strict hierarchy of clients - high-net-worth clients who use their private banking services to avoid taxes, and ultra-high-net-worth clients who use their asset investment services. In this way, cash is turned into assets in an unknown way, and then the assets are turned into legal income that can be traveled around the world without any hindrance.

VVIP-level customers like Han Yi, who were personally recommended by David Rubinstein, would only have one kind of business relationship with Biederfeldt - trust.

Use the Cayman Islands' unique STAR trust system to establish a trust fund for non-charitable purposes, which is used to collect and protect priceless antiques or indirectly hold shares in companies in other countries and regions. Without paying any inheritance tax, the intergenerational and sustainable transmission of family assets can be achieved.

Therefore, these previous "meeting gifts" are nothing more than Bidelfeldt Bank's sincerity in cooperation. How much money Han Yi wants to save in the Cayman Islands, how much money to transfer, where to transfer it, and when to transfer it are not their focus. What Dwight Mellen wants to do is to help Han Yi complete every business of his as smoothly as possible on behalf of Biederfeldt, so that this man with good hands and eyes has a close relationship with Wall Street giants and their direct controllers. of wealthy people are satisfied with their service attitude and service efficiency, and then seek the opportunity to help him establish an offshore trust fund.

That is the real beauty of fatness and lack of beauty.

When the relationship between the wealth reserve and the connections established has reached this point, it is difficult for Han Yi to complete the transaction quickly. On October 10rd, Antoine Gachet began to handle company registration matters. On October 3th, Jordan Bromley provided a registration application to the Cayman Islands government. It was approved on October 10th. On Monday, October 5th, the registration application was completed. Dufelt prepared a bank account for Han Yi.

The trade contract between Han Yi and Azcaraga-Jean will not be officially signed until October 10.

This means that except for the 10% deposit of 900 million euros, which was paid directly by Han Yi from the private bank account of Coutts Bank in the UK, the remaining 8100 million euros were paid by Han Yi through Biederfeldt private bank account transfer.

1100 million euros from Coutts Bank, 4000 million euros from Credit Suisse Group, and 3000 million euros from Swiss bank GAIN Capital. Han Yi activated the three European accounts in the memorandum in one go. Four remittances arrived in the Cayman Islands, and then from Bi Duffield Bank wire transfer to Azcaraga-Jean HSBC Cayman Limited, also established in the Cayman Islands.

This operation does not leave no trace at all, but...if Han Yi does not take the initiative to disclose it and does not expose his whereabouts in other business areas, then no financial regulatory agency in any country will know where to start investigating this transaction.

On October 10, the last working day of the week, the balance of 22 million euros arrived in Azcaraga-Jean's HSBC account. The first yacht transaction of the year, worth 8100 million euros, has finally come to an end.

Antoine Gachet's call to inform him that the transaction was completed was only picked up by Han Yi at 21:[-] in the morning. But an hour ago, the latter, who was so excited that he could not sleep all night, saw the successful consumption information in the mobile phone memo.

[Successfully spent 90000000.00 euros this time]

[Received a reward of 144000000.00 euros]

　Sorry, there have been too many things in the past two days. This is just a small chapter. I will definitely make up for it tomorrow.
