Chapter 1014 Behemoth



Chapter 1014 Behemoth
Take the Al Saeed, which is under maintenance, for example. When the yacht was delivered, the price of building the ship was as high as 13 million US dollars. Thirteen years have passed, and the Sultan of Oman has spent no less than 13 million U.S. dollars on this super yacht every year during these 3000 years. In the past 13 years, the daily cost of this super yacht has exceeded the cost of building this super yacht. The cost of a super yacht is as high as nearly [-] million US dollars!
Such expensive daily expenses are really beyond the reach of ordinary rich people.

In fact, superyachts are a very small market, and its target customer group is actually the more than 2000 ultra-high-net-worth individuals around the world.According to a new study conducted by UBS and Wealth-X, there are currently 21.1275 people in the world who are high-net-worth individuals with total assets of more than US$3000 million, and the total wealth controlled by this group is estimated to be just under US$30 trillion.Among them, there are about 10 ultra-high net worth individuals with assets exceeding US$2325 billion.Super yachts are aimed at these more than 2000 ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

This thing is definitely a particularly expensive thing, and the recycling value is low. When a commercial ship is scrapped, it can still be sold for scrap and recycled. When a super yacht is scrapped, it may be worthless because there is not much steel in its hull. Therefore, the scrap value can be ignored.Plus, increasing age can exacerbate the already onerous operating costs of a superyacht.

Therefore, rich people with a net worth of less than one billion US dollars simply cannot afford this kind of custom-made super yacht.

In the past, when the subsidiaries of the Dragon Fund were submerged under the water, 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 the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals with a net worth of more than one billion U.S. dollars in the world will surely increase by dozens!

And Yang Jing, as the head of the Dragon Fund, naturally couldn't be shabby if he wanted to customize a super yacht.Although superyachts are expensive, and the daily expenses are even more daunting, to Yang Jing, this cost is nothing at all.Among other things, the annual personal dividends that the Dragon Fund gives him are enough to buy hundreds of super yachts worth [-] million US dollars.

Of course Michael knew his boss's wealth, so he customized a super awesome super yacht for his boss.

Schultz pointed to the dry dock and said: "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, the super yacht that Mr. Burke customized for you two is currently laying the keel in that dry dock. Because of the information given by Mr. Burke The size of this superyacht is too large, so that our largest dry dock can not afford the construction task, so in order to build this superyacht for you, Leshun specially spent more than a month to renovate our A dry dock."

Grid asked curiously: "Mr. Schultz, how big a yacht did Michael customize for us? Could it be that this dry dock can't be built?"

Schultz said with a wry smile: "The order given by Mr. Michael is a behemoth with a length of 695 feet, which is more than 100 feet longer than the largest super yacht Azam in the world. At that time, Azam was 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 super yacht for you two, so after we accept this order, we only We can expand the dock first.”

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

After figuring out the meaning of this number, Yang Jing smiled wryly and said, "Michael really gave me a surprise. Schultz, the length of this 212 meters may almost catch up with those during World War II. The number of shots was three at every turn. A [-]-ton battleship!"

Schultz also nodded with a wry smile and said: "That's right, although the length of 212 meters is not comparable to that of 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 load displacement is 38000 tons, the total length is 216.5 meters, the waterline length is 212 meters, and the width is 32 meters. Your super yacht is similar in length and width to the Nelson-class battleship, although the displacement It is far inferior to that kind of battleship, but the speed of your ship is far beyond 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 in the whole ship, right? But what is a battleship? That thing Except steel 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 joking, a group of people walked into the dry dock. As Schultz said just now, the huge dry dock was busy. Hundreds of workers were busy in the dock. There were flashes of electric welding everywhere, and the entire dock was flooded with With all kinds of noise.

Seeing that only a small part of the keel was laid, Yang Jing was also a little disappointed.But there is really no way to do this. The construction period of a super yacht is very long. The construction period of three to four years is common, and there are even longer construction periods.

But Yang Jing still said to Schultz: "Speed ​​up the construction as much as possible, and I can pay more money. I hope to see this big guy launch in two and a half to three years. How can it be done?" ?"

These words made Schultz's face bitter, but he thought for a while and said: "Mr. Yang, it is impossible for two and a half years, even if our workers can't even turn the shaft, it is impossible to get this super ship in two and a half years. The yacht is built well. Three years should be about the same, but you have to spend a little more money."

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

After saying this, Yang Jing walked out first.There is really nothing to see here, especially the various noises that make people unbearable, let alone Yang Jing, even Gege is unwilling to stay here after standing here for a while.

As soon as everyone walked out of the dry dock, they saw a large pure white yacht sailing towards the east of the Weser River.

After looking at it, Schultz said happily: "Mr. Yang, that yacht should belong to Mr. Ludwig Müller, CEO of Leshun, and he should come from the second shipyard across the river. Came over here."

Hearing this, Yang Jing stood still. Since he came here, he had to meet the head of Leshun, after all, he was the largest shareholder of this company.

Standing on the shore facing the hunting wind, in a short while, the yacht was eclipsed in front of me.But to Yang Jing's surprise, he saw two familiar figures on this yacht, one of them was especially familiar.
