Happy Tycoon

Take the Al Said under maintenance. When the yacht was delivered that year, the price of just building the ship was as high as US$300 million, and the superyacht has been delivered since it was delivered. Thirteen years have passed. During these thirteen years, the Sultan of Oman has to spend no less than 30 million U.S. dollars on this superyacht every year. In the 13 years, the daily expenses of this superyacht have been More than the cost of building this superyacht, up to nearly 500 million US dollars!

Such expensive daily expenses are really not something ordinary rich people can afford.

In fact, super yachts are a very small market, and its target customer group is actually the more than 2,000 ultra-high net worth individuals in the world. According to a new study conducted by UBS and Wealth-X, there are currently 211,275 people in the world who are high net worth individuals with total assets of more than 30 million U.S. dollars. The total wealth controlled by this group is estimated to be only slightly less than 30 trillion U.S. dollars. Among them, there are approximately 2,325 ultra-high net worth individuals with assets of more than 1 billion U.S. dollars. The super yacht is aimed at more than two thousand ultra-high net worth individuals.

This thing is definitely a very money-burning thing, and its recycling value is low. When a commercial ship is scrapped, it can also be sold and recycled. When a superyacht is scrapped, it may be worthless because there is not much steel in its hull. Therefore, the value of scrap steel is negligible. In addition, the increase in ship age will also exacerbate the already heavy operating costs of super yachts.

Therefore, a wealthy man with a net worth of less than one billion U.S. dollars can't afford to play such a specially customized super yacht.

In the past, when the subsidiaries of the Dragon Fund sank below the surface, it is estimated that neither UBS nor Wealth-X could count these ultra-high net worth individuals under the Dragon Fund. Subsidiaries are beginning to surface, and dozens of ultra-high net worth individuals with a net worth of more than one billion U.S. dollars in the world will definitely increase by dozens!

As Yang Jing is the chief executive of the Evil Dragon Fund, he can't be shabby if he wants to customize a super yacht. Although super yachts are expensive and the usual daily expenses are even more daunting, to Yang Jing this cost is nothing at all. Among other things, the personal dividends given to him by the Dragon Fund each year are enough to buy hundreds of superyachts worth 500 million US dollars.

Of course, Michael knows the wealth of his boss, so he will customize a super yacht for the boss.

Schultz pointed to the dry dock and said: "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, the superyacht that Mr. Bourke has customized for you is currently laying the keel in that dry dock. Because of this offer given by Mr. Bourke. The size of this superyacht is so large that our largest dry dock is unable to undertake the construction task, so in order to build this superyacht for you, we at Le Shun deliberately spent more than a month to transform our this superyacht. A dry dock."

Grid asked curiously: "Mr. Schultz, how big a yacht Michael has customized for us? Can't this dry dock be built?"

Schultz smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Michael's order is for a 695-foot-long behemoth, which is more than a hundred feet longer than the largest Azam superyacht in the world. Back then, Azam. It was built in this dry dock, but the length of this dry dock is only 623 feet, which is about 190 meters in length. It is impossible to build this superyacht for the two of you. So after we received this order, The shipyard can only be expanded first."

Grid and Yang Jing were also a little confused when they heard this data. What is the concept of 695 feet? It's almost equivalent to 212 meters. This size is more than 30 meters longer than the current world's largest Azzam superyacht! This is simply not an order of magnitude superyacht.

After understanding the meaning of this number, Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said: "This guy Michael really gave me a surprise. Schultz, this 212-meter length, I am afraid that the number of shots during World War II is almost three. It’s a 40,000-ton battleship!"

Schultz also smiled bitterly and nodded and said: "Yes, although the length of 212 meters is not comparable to the Yamato-class battleships, Iowa-class battleships, and Bismarck-class battleships, it is also comparable to the British Nelson-class battleships. The standard displacement of Nelson and the battleship is 33950 tons, the full displacement is 38000 tons, the total length is 216.5 meters, the waterline length is 212 meters, and the width is 32 meters. Your superyacht is similar in length and width to the Nelson-class battleship, although the displacement is It is far less than that of a battleship, but the speed of your ship is far from comparable to that of Nelson and the battleship..."

Yang Jing laughed and said: "Schultz, why didn't I realize that you are also a very humorous person. I am a super yacht, and I can't find much steel for the whole ship? But what is a battleship? That thing. Apart from steel, it is steel. How can the displacement of my ship compare with that of a battleship?"

Schultz also touched his half-bald head and laughed.

While talking and laughing, a group of people walked into the dry dock. As Schultz just said, the huge dry dock is busy. Hundreds of workers are busy in the dock. There are flashes of electric welding everywhere, and the entire dock is flooded. All kinds of noises.

Seeing that only a small part of the keel was laid, Yang Jing was also a little disappointed. But there is no way for this. The construction cycle of a superyacht is very long. The construction cycle of three to four years is common, and there are even longer construction cycles.

However, Yang Jing still said to Schultz: “I can speed up the construction as much as possible, and I can pay the corresponding funds. I hope to see this big guy launch in two and a half to three years. How can I do it? ?"

These words made Schultz look bitter, but he then calculated for a while and said: "Mr. Yang, two and a half years is impossible. The yacht is built. Three years should be about the same, but you have to spend more money."

Yang Jing nodded in satisfaction and said: "Money is not a problem, what I want is speed!"

After saying this ~www.readwn.com~Yang Jing took the lead and walked out. There is really nothing to look at here, especially the various noises are even more unbearable, let alone Yang Jing, even if Grid has stood here for a while, he will not want to stay here anymore.

As soon as everyone walked out of this dry dock, they saw a large, pure white yacht swiftly approaching here east of the Weser River.

Schultz looked at it and said with joy: "Mr. Yang, that yacht should be the boat of Mr. Ludwig Müller, the CEO of Le Shun. He should be from the second shipyard across the river. Came over here."

Hearing this, Yang Jing stopped. Now that he is here, he has to meet the head of Le Shun. After all, he is the largest shareholder of this company.

Standing on the shore to face the hunting wind, in a short while, the yacht eclipsed. But what Yang Jing did not expect was that he saw two familiar figures on this yacht, one of which was particularly familiar...
