Happy Tycoon
Chapter 1019: Super expensive big toy
Not even three minutes, a group of people hurriedly came out of the elevator opposite. The head was a chubby white male in his fifties. Podolsky followed him as he walked. While explaining to him in a low voice.
Seeing Yang Jing and his party standing in the lobby of the headquarters building and looking around, the fifty-something white man immediately greeted him with a smile, and stretched out his hands to hold Yang Jing's hands tightly, not fluent in using them. "Mr. Yang, right? I’m Robert Schultz, COO of Leshun Group. I’m very glad that you came to visit Leshun Group. I’m sorry, because the company is here today. A major client, Mr. Mueller went to accompany that major client, but I called him before I came, and it is estimated that he will be able to come soon."
Yang Jing took the Leshun COO's hand and shook it vigorously. He smiled and said, "Mr. Schultz, I would like to trouble you to come and receive it in person. I'm really a bit embarrassed. It doesn't affect your work, right?"
Schultz smiled and shook his head and said, "Where can it be? Since you have come to the group headquarters, receiving you is the most important job of the group headquarters. I just had a phone call with Michael, and he heard that you are here. I said I will fly over from Italy soon."
Yang Jing shook his head speechlessly, just about to say something, his satellite phone rang, picked it up to see, who is not Michael Bourke?
"Hey, Michael, I'm talking to Mr. Schultz right now. I heard Mr. Schultz say you are coming over?"
"Yes, BOSS, I'm on my way to Milan Airport right now. If it goes well, I will be able to see you and your wife in two hours."
"Well, what did I say you are running away? I am not taken care of here, why are you here? I said Michael, if you don’t have anything particularly important, you don’t need to come over, don’t forget , I’m on my honeymoon now."
"BOSS, it's actually not only that I want to meet you, but Joseph is also by my side. We have just completed a cooperation with Italy Unicredit Group, and Joseph also wants to report to you." After a short pause, Joseph's voice rang: "Boss, there is nothing wrong with me, so I plan to fly over to meet you. You and your wife have gone for nearly a month. There are some things. I want to hear your instructions."
Yang Jing shook his head speechlessly again, "I said you two, come here if you like, but it's best not to talk about work, I'm on my honeymoon now, not talking about work..."
Yang Jing knows that Unicredit Italy is the sixth largest Italian company. However, although this company has a good revenue situation, it has been in a situation of serious losses in recent years, especially in 2017. Within a year, he lost more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, but I don’t know why Joseph is interested in this company.
But even if he didn't know, Yang Jing didn't want to ask. Even if it was the acquisition of Unicredit as a whole, Yang Jing would not be alarmed. With Joseph Hunter, it was enough for him to deal with these matters.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing turned his head to find that Schultz was more respectful.
There is no way to do this. If you really want to calculate it, the Dragon Fund has already started its layout in Europe since the 1980s, including the acquisition of the stocks of Europe's top multinational groups. Later, when the former Soviet Union disintegrated, under Yang Jing's instruction, the Dragon Fund established Atlantic Capital, which was controlled by Niam Wilson and was mainly responsible for investment and speculative projects in the European region.
Later, Joseph Hunt succeeded Niam as the second-generation head of Atlantic Capital. He has done better in Europe these years.
However, because of the undisclosed purpose, Atlantic Capital was unknown in the whole of Europe. However, as Yang Jing announced that the subsidiaries of the Evil Dragon Fund had begun to lift the ban, the reputation of these subsidiaries with super powers in Europe and the United States began to quickly become popular in Europe and the United States.
Numerous giants in Europe and the United States suddenly discovered that the Atlantic Capital stood behind their largest holding institution!
Therefore, even in just a few months, people like Joseph, Michael, Frank Abbas, and Harrison Johnson immediately became international giants.
The capital in their hands is too huge. It used to be hidden and covered with puppets of this kind, so outsiders would not know. And now that the ban has begun to be lifted, once giants such as Pacific Capital and KY Investment Fund surfaced, as long as people with a little inquiries, they can know how terrible the capital controlled by these giants is.
Just like Le Shun, this is almost the world's largest superyacht manufacturer, and the shareholder structure behind it is also more complicated. But Leshun’s largest holding institution is Atlantic Capital, which holds more than 20% of the shares in this superyacht manufacturer, and is the well-deserved largest shareholder of Leshun.
And the big boss of Atlantic Capital, that is, Joseph Hunter is now an absolute top tycoon-level figure in Europe, but no one thought that such a top-level tycoon-level figure actually worked for others. And the bigger boss behind Joseph Hunter turned out to be the inconspicuous young Chinese man in front of him.
If it hadn’t been for Michael’s cautious order when he called Michael just now, saying that he must entertain his boss, that is, the young man, how would Schultz think of the original tycoon standing in front of him? .
The phone call that this young man just picked up proved this point even more.
In other words, this young man in front of him is the largest shareholder of Le Shun! The kind of real big man who has the power to convene the board of directors and decide whether the company's top executives will stay.
Yang Jing didn't want to poke here anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take us to the shipyard and have a look. I want to see what kind of super yacht Michael has customized for me. "
Yang Jing's words were equivalent to orders, and Schultz followed neatly and took the initiative to act as a guide. The group of people behind him are probably all executives of Le Shun, and they can only follow far behind at this time.
More than a dozen battery cars have been parked outside the door. It is a very common thing for German companies to use battery cars for transportation. There is no pollution and low energy consumption, which is in line with the goal of low emissions pursued by the Germans.
Yang Jing came from the north when they came, so they only saw the headquarters building in Leshun, but did not see the shipyard behind the headquarters building in Leshun.
The battery car walked on the road for a short while, and after bypassing the Leshun headquarters building, Yang Jing and the others saw the shipyard. The most eye-catching thing was naturally the two tallest buildings.
As if he had noticed Yang Jing’s gaze, Schultz explained in a low voice: “Mr. Yang, this is our first shipyard in Leshun. Do you see the two largest buildings? That’s our first shipbuilding. The two largest docks in the factory are both 20,000-ton-class docks. One dock is a dry dock built on land, and the other is a floating dock built on the Weser River."
After a pause, Schultz said again: "When you get to the dock, across the Weser River, you can see our second shipyard in Lemwede, which is on the south bank of the Weser River. Mainly to undertake the task of building smaller superyachts. There are more docks over there, but most of them are docks below 10,000 tons."
While talking, the battery car came to the core area of the shipyard, where the two docks are located.
One of the two docks is a dry dock built on land. The blue-white wall is less than 200 meters in length, the width should be less than 40 meters, and the height is about 30 meters. Another floating dock built in the Weser River is about the same size as the dry dock.
The exit positions of the two docks are close to each other, and the distance between each other is more than ten meters, so the two docks are actually built at a forty-five degree angle.
However, the most eye-catching thing is not the two docks, but the superyacht that looks extremely magnificent and docked on the west side of the dock.
It was a pure white superyacht, which was docked quietly on the edge of the pier at this time, and it should be undergoing a complete overhaul.
Seeing that the eyes of Yang Jing and his party were all attracted by the white superyacht, Schultz explained: "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, this yacht is our Leshun for Oman after the new century. The ruler, which is built by Sultan Qaboos bin Al Said, this superyacht was delivered in 2007, even if thirteen years have passed, this yacht is still the fourth largest superyacht in the world. Yachts are our pride in Le Shun."
"Is this yacht here for maintenance?" Grid asked curiously.
"Yes~lightnovelpub.net~ Dear Madam, like this super yacht, almost like a warship, it is regularly maintained every year. This Al Said is here for maintenance. This yacht comes every year for maintenance."
Grid nodded and did not speak any more. On the way here, Grid also took the time to inquire about the cost of this superyacht. The high cost made her a little stunned.
This kind of customized super yacht looks really beautiful, but the cost is a sky-high price, whether it is construction costs, usage costs, or maintenance costs, ordinary rich men simply cannot afford it.
Super yachts are called super yachts because this super luxury yacht is a super expensive toy that only the super rich can afford to play. This super-expensive toy will hardly appreciate in value, and the annual cost of crew salaries, fuel, dock service and maintenance fees, etc., is equivalent to 10% of the value of the super yacht.
The total value of the 25 most valuable superyachts in the world currently exceeds US$7.5 billion. However, this kind of super expensive toy will lose money as long as it is resold, so there are only a few people on this planet who can afford to play with this big toy.
