Take the Al Sayid, which is under maintenance. When the yacht was delivered, the price of building the ship alone was as high as 300 million US dollars. Thirteen years have passed since the delivery of the super yacht. In these 13 years, the Oman Sultan has to invest no less than 30 million US dollars in the super yacht every year, Over the past 13 years, the daily cost of this super yacht has exceeded the cost of building this super yacht, as high as nearly $500 million!

Such expensive daily expenses are really not affordable for ordinary rich people.

In fact, super yacht is a very small market, and its target customer group is actually more than 2000 ultra-high net worth people in the world. According to a new study conducted by UBS and wealth-x, 211275 people worldwide are high net worth people with total assets of more than US $30 million, and the total wealth controlled by this group is estimated to be only slightly less than US $30 trillion. Among them, there are about 2325 ultra-high net worth people with assets of more than US $1 billion. Super Yachts are aimed at more than 2000 people with ultra-high net worth.

This thing is definitely a special money burning thing, and the recycling value is low. When commercial ships are scrapped, they can also sell waste and recycle. When Super Yachts are scrapped, they may be worthless, because there is not much steel in its hull, so the scrap value can be ignored. In addition, the increase of ship age will also aggravate the already heavy operating costs of Super Yachts.

Therefore, a millionaire with a fortune of less than one billion dollars can't afford to play this specially customized super yacht at all.

In the past, when those subsidiaries of the Dragon Fund sank under the water, it is estimated that neither UBS nor wealth-x can count these ultra-high net worth people under the Dragon Fund. Now, as these subsidiaries of the Dragon Fund begin to surface, dozens of ultra-high net worth people with a fortune of more than US $1 billion around the world will certainly increase!

Yang Jing, as the general bearer of the Dragon Fund, should not be shabby if he wants to customize a super yacht. Although the super yacht is expensive and the daily cost is frightening, for Yang Jing, this cost is nothing at all. Apart from other things, the annual personal dividend given to him by the Dragon Fund alone is enough to buy hundreds of Super Yachts worth $500 million.

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

Schultz pointed to the dry dock and said: "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, the super yacht customized by Mr. Burke for you two is laying keel in the dry dock at present. Because the size of the super yacht given by Mr. Burke is too large to undertake the construction task of our largest dry dock, we spent more than a month to build this super yacht for you Time to rebuild our dry dock. "

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

Schultz said with a wry smile: "The order given by Mr. Michael is a giant 695 feet long, more than 100 feet longer than the world's largest Azam superyacht. Azam was built in this dry dock, but the length of this dry dock is only 623 feet, that is, about 190 meters. It is impossible to build this superyacht for you two So after we take this order, we can only expand the dock first. "

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

After understanding the meaning of this number, Yang Jing said with a wry smile: "Michael is really a surprise to me. Schultz, I'm afraid this 212 meter length is about to catch up with those photographed during World War II. The number of battleships is often 30000 or 40000 tons!"

Schultz also smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "Yes, although the length of 212 meters can not be compared with Yamato class battleships, Iowa class battleships and Bismarck class battleships, it is also comparable with Nelson Class Battleships in Britain. Nelson and battleships have a standard displacement of 33950 tons, a full load displacement of 38000 tons, a total length of 216.5 meters, a waterline length of 212 meters and a width of 32 meters. Your super yacht is in length and width It's similar to the Nelson class battleship. Although the displacement is far less than that battleship, your ship's speed is far from comparable to Nelson and battleship... "

Yang Jing laughed and said, "Schultz, why didn't I find you a very humorous person? I'm a super yacht, and I can't find much steel in the whole ship. But what's the battleship? It's steel except steel. How can the displacement of my ship be compared with that of a battleship?"

Schultz also touched his half bald head and laughed.

While joking, the party walked into the dry dock. As Schultz just said, the huge dry dock was busy, hundreds of workers were busy in the dock, there were shining points of electric welding everywhere, and the whole dock was full of all kinds of noise.

Seeing that only a small part of the keel was laid, Yang Jing was also a little disappointed. But there's really no way. The construction cycle of a super yacht is very long. The construction cycle of three or four years is common, and even longer.

However, Yang Jing still said to Schultz, "try to speed up the construction speed, and I can pay more corresponding funds. I hope to see this big guy go into the water in two and a half to three years. How can I do it?"

This made Schultz look sad, but he immediately calculated for a while and said, "Mr. Yang, it is impossible to build this super yacht in two and a half years. Even our workers can't build it in two and a half years. Three years should be about the same, but you have to spend more money."

Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "money is not a problem. What I want is speed!"

With these words, Yang Jing took the lead to go out. There's really nothing to look at here, especially all kinds of noise. Let alone Yang Jing, even Ge Ge doesn't want to stay here after standing here for a while.

As soon as they got out of the dry dock, they saw a large pure white yacht coming here quickly on the east side of the Weser River.

After Schultz looked at it, he said happily, "Mr. Yang, that yacht should be the boat of Mr. Ludwig Muller, the CEO of lesun. He should come here from the second shipyard across the river."

Hearing this, Yang Jing stopped. Since she came here, she had to meet the leader of leshun. After all, she was the largest shareholder of the company.

Standing on the shore facing the hunting wind, after a while, the yacht eroded in front of it. But to Yang Jing's surprise, he saw two familiar figures on the yacht, one of which was particularly familiar

PS: bow and thank the "very lazy fish" for the reward of 100.
