Take the Al Said that is under maintenance, when the yacht was delivered, the price of building the ship alone was as high as 300 million US dollars, and this superyacht has passed 13 years since it was delivered, and the Sultan of Oman needs to invest no less than 30 million US dollars in this superyacht every year in these 13 years, and in the past 13 years, the daily cost of this superyacht has exceeded the cost of building this superyacht, up to nearly 500 million US dollars!
Such expensive daily expenses are really not something that ordinary rich people can afford.In fact, superyachts are a very small market, and their target audience is actually the more than 2,000 ultra-high net worth individuals around the world.According to a new study conducted by UBS and EALTH-X, 211275 people worldwide are currently high-net-worth individuals with total assets of more than $30 million, and the total wealth controlled by this group is estimated to be just under $30 trillion.Among them, there are about 2,325 ultra-high net worth individuals with assets of more than $1 billion.The superyacht is aimed at more than 2,000 ultra-high-net-worth individuals.It's definitely a particularly money-burning thing, and the recycling value is low, when a commercial ship is scrapped, it can also be sold for scrap and recycled, and a superyacht may be worthless when it is scrapped because it doesn't have much steel in its hull, so the scrap value is negligible.In addition, the increasing age of the ship will also exacerbate the already heavy operating costs of superyachts.Therefore, a billionaire with a net worth of less than a billion dollars simply cannot afford to play with this kind of specially customized superyacht.In the past, when the subsidiaries of the Evil Dragon Fund sank under the water, it is estimated that neither UBS nor Ealth-X could count these ultra-high net worth individuals under the Evil Dragon Fund, but now as these subsidiaries of the Evil Dragon Fund begin to surface, the number of ultra-high net worth individuals with a net worth of more than one billion dollars in the world will definitely increase by dozens more!
And Yang Jing, as the chief leader of the Evil Dragon Fund, naturally can't be shabby if he wants to customize a superyacht.Although superyachts are expensive, and the usual daily expenses are even more daunting, but for Yang Jing, this cost is nothing at all.Not to mention anything else, the personal dividends given to him by the Evil Dragon Fund every year alone are enough to buy hundreds of superyachts worth $500 million.Of course, Michael knew his boss's net worth, so he customized a super superyacht for his boss.Schultz pointed to the dry dock and said, "Mr.
Yang, Mrs.
Yang, Mr.
Bulko's superyacht customized for the two of you is currently laying the keel in that dry dock.Because the size of the superyacht given by Mr.
Bourco was too large for our largest dry dock to handle the construction task, we spent more than a month renovating our dry dock in order to build this superyacht for you. ”Gege asked curiously, "Mr.
Schultz, how big is a yacht that Michael has customized for us?"
Couldn't this dry dock be built either?
”Schultz said with a wry smile: "Mr.
Michael's order is for a behemoth that is 695 feet long, which is more than 100 feet longer than the current world's largest superyacht, the Azam superyacht.The Azam was built in this dry dock, but the length of the dry dock is only 623 feet, which is about 190 meters long, and it is impossible to build this superyacht for the two of you, so we had to expand the dock first after taking this order. ”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 superyacht, the Azam superyacht!
This is simply not an order of magnitude superyacht.After figuring out the meaning of this number, Yang Jing said with a wry smile: "Michael, this guy really gave me a surprise."
Scholz, this 212-meter length is probably about to catch up with those battleships during World War II, which often cost 30,000 or 40,000 tons!
”Schultz also nodded with a wry smile and said: "That's right, 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 the Nelson and the battleship was 33,950 tons, the full load displacement was 38,000 tons, the total length was 2,165 meters, the waterline length was 212 meters, and the width was 32 meters.This superyacht of yours is about the same as the Nelson-class battleship in length and width, although the displacement is far less than that kind of battleship, but the speed of your ship is far beyond the comparison of Nelson and the battleship" Yang Jing laughed and said: "Schultz, why didn't I find that you are also a rather humorous person."
I'm a superyacht, and I can't find much steel on the whole ship, right?
But battleship, what is that?
That thing is steel except steel, how can the displacement of my ship compare to that of a battleship?
”Schultz also touched his somewhat bald head and laughed.As Schultz just said, the huge dry dock was busy, hundreds of workers were busy in the dock, there were flashes of electric welding everywhere, and the whole dock was filled with all kinds of noise.Seeing that the keel was only a small part laid, Yang Jing was also a little disappointed.But this really can't be helped, the construction period of a superyacht is very long, three or four years of construction cycle is common, and even longer construction cycles.However, Yang Jing still said to Schultz: "Try to speed up the construction, I can pay more for the corresponding funds."
I hope to be able to see this big guy launch in two-and-a-half to three-year years.How, can it be done?
”These words made Schultz's face bitter, but he immediately thought for a while and said: "Mr.
Yang, two and a half years is impossible, even if our workers are spinning, it is impossible to build this superyacht in two and a half years."
Three years should be about the same, but you'll have to spend a little more money. ”Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Money is not a problem, what I want is speed!"
”After saying this, Yang Jing took the lead and walked out.There's really nothing to see here, especially all kinds of noises are unbearable, not to mention Yang Jing, even Gege didn't want to stay here for a while.As soon as the group stepped out of the dry dock, they saw a large pure white yacht speeding towards this direction on the east side of the Weser River.Schultz looked at it and then said happily: "Mr.
Yang, that yacht should be the boat of our CEO Ludwig Müller, Letzson, and he should have rushed here from the second shipyard across the river." ”Hearing this, Yang Jing stood still, since he came here, he had to meet with the head of Leshun, after all, he was the largest shareholder of this company.Standing on the shore facing the wind of hunting, in a short time, the yacht was eroded in front of it.But to Yang Jing's surprise, he saw two familiar figures on this yacht, one of which was especially familiar with ps: bowing and thanking the "very lazy fish" for the reward of 100.
