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

Such expensive daily expenses are really beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy people.

In fact, superyachts are a very small market, and their target customer base 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 million people in the world who are high-wealth net worth individuals with total assets of more than 30 million US dollars, and the total wealth controlled by this group is estimated to be only slightly less than 30 trillion US dollars. Among them, there are about 2,325 ultra-high net worth individuals with assets of more than 1 billion US dollars. Superyachts are targeted at these more than 2,000 ultra-high net worth individuals.

This thing is definitely a particularly expensive thing, and its recycling value is low. When commercial ships are scrapped, they can also sell scrap and recycle them. When superyachts are scrapped, they may not be worthless because there is not much steel in their hull, so the value of scrap steel can be negligible. In addition, the increase in ship age will also increase the already heavy operating costs of superyachts.

Therefore, a rich man with a net worth of less than one billion dollars cannot afford to play such a specially customized superyacht.

When the subsidiaries of Dragon Fund were under the water before, it was estimated that neither UBS nor Wealth-x could count these super high wealth net worth individuals under the Dragon Fund. Now, as these subsidiaries of Dragon Fund began to surface, the number of super high wealth net worth individuals with a net worth of more than one billion US dollars in the world will definitely increase by dozens of more!

As the leader of the Dragon Fund, Yang Jing will naturally not be shabby if he wants to customize a superyacht. Although superyachts are expensive and their daily daily expenses are even more daunting, for Yang Jing, this fee is nothing. Not to mention anything else, the personal dividends given to him by the Dragon Fund every year are enough to buy hundreds of superyachts worth $500 million.

Of course Michael knew his boss’ worth, so he customized a super awesome superyacht for his boss.

Schultz pointed to the dry dock and said, "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Burco is now laying keels in that dry dock. Because the super yacht given by Mr. Burco is too large to the size of our largest dry dock, our Leshun specially spent more than a month to transform our dry dock in order to build this super yacht for you."

Gege asked curiously: "Mr. Schultz, what size yacht has Michael customized for us? Can this dry dock not be built?"

Schultz said with a wry smile: "Mr. Michael gave an order of 695 feet long, more than a hundred feet longer than the largest Azam superyacht in the world. The Azam was built in this dry dock, but the length of this dry dock is only 623 feet, which 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."

Princess 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 largest Azam superyacht in the world! This is simply not a superyacht of the same order of magnitude.

After understanding the meaning of this number, Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Michael really gave me a surprise. Schultz, this 212-meter length is probably almost as good as those battleships during World War II, which were often 30,000 tonnes!"

Schultz also smiled bitterly and nodded and said, "Yes, 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 battleships is 33,950 tons, full load displacement of 38,000 tons, a total length of 216.5 meters, a waterline length of 212 meters, and a width of 32 meters. Your superyacht is similar to that of Nelson-class battleships in length and width. Although the displacement is far less than that of that kind of battleship, the speed of your ship is far from comparable to that of Nelson-class battleships..."

Yang Jing laughed and said, "Schultz, why didn't I find that you are also a very humorous person. I am a superyacht, and I can't find much steel on the whole ship, right? But what is the battleship? That thing is just steel and steel. How can the displacement of my ship be compared with the battleship?"

Schultz also touched his slightly bald head and laughed.

While chatting and laughing, the group walked into the dry dock. As Schultz said just now, the huge dry dock was busy, with hundreds of workers busy in the dock, with flashes of electric welding everywhere, and the entire dock was filled with various noises.

Yang Jing was a little disappointed when he saw that only a small part of the keel was laid. But there was no way to do this. The construction cycle of a superyacht was very long. The construction cycle of three or four years was common, and even longer construction cycles were also available.

However, Yang Jing still said to Schultz: "Try to speed up the construction speed as much as possible, and I can pay more funds. I hope to see this big guy enter the water within two and a half years. How about it, can it be done?"

This made Schultz look sad, but he then thought for a while and said: "Mr. Yang, two and a half years are impossible. Even if our workers are running around, it is impossible to build this superyacht within two and a half years. Three years should be 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!"

After saying this, Yang Jing took the lead in walking out. There was nothing good here, especially the various noises that made people unable to bear it. Not to mention Yang Jing, even the princess stood here for a while and was unwilling to stay here.

As soon as everyone walked out of the dry dock, they saw a pure white large yacht sailing quickly towards this side on the east side of the Wesser River.

Schultz looked at it and said happily: "Mr. Yang, that yacht should be our ceo Ludwig Muller's ship. He should come here from the second shipyard across the river."

Hearing this, Yang Jing stopped. Since he was 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 rushing wind, the yacht fell in front of him in a short while. But beyond Yang Jing's surprise, he actually saw two familiar figures on the yacht, one of which was particularly familiar...
