Happy Tycoon

Not even three minutes later, a group of people came out of the elevator opposite in a hurry. The leader was a fat white man in his fifties, and Podolski followed him, walking While explaining something to him in a low voice.

Seeing Yang Jing and his group standing in the lobby of the headquarters building and looking around, the caucasian man in his fifties immediately greeted him with a smile, and stretched out his hands to hold Yang Jing's hand tightly. He said in English: Mr. Yang, right? I am Robert Schultz, chief operating officer of Leshun Group. I am very glad that you can come to Leshun Group for inspection. I want to say sorry, because the company is here today. A big client, Mr. Muller is going to accompany that big client, but I have already called him before coming over, and it is estimated that he will come here soon.

Yang Jing shook the Leshun COO's hand vigorously, and said with a smile: Mr. Schultz, I'm sorry to trouble you to come and receive him in person. It doesn't affect your work, right?

Schultz shook his head with a smile and said: Where can it be? Since you have come to the headquarters of the group, receiving you is the most important job of the headquarters of the group. I had a phone call with Michael just now, and he heard that you came here He said he would fly over from Italy in a moment.

Yang Jing shook his head speechlessly. Just as he was about to say something, his satellite phone rang. He picked it up and looked. If it wasn't Michael Bulko, who was it?

Hey, Michael, I'm talking to Mr. Schultz right now. I heard Mr. Schultz say you're coming over?

Yes, Boss, I'm on my way to Milan airport now. If everything goes well, I'll see you and your wife in two hours.

Hey, I said, why are you running all the way? It's not like I'm not being taken care of here, why are you here? I said Michael, if you don't have any important things, you don't have to come here, don't forget , I'm on my honeymoon now.

Boss, it's not just that I want to meet with you, the main thing is that Joseph is by my side. The two of us have just completed a cooperation with Italy's UniCredit Group, and Joseph also wants to report to you. Over the phone There was a slight pause, and then Joseph's voice sounded: Boss, I happen to have nothing to do here, so I plan to fly over to meet you. You and your wife have been away for nearly a month, and some things I want to hear your instructions.

Yang Jing shook his head speechlessly again, I said you two, come here if you want, but it's best not to talk about work. I'm on my honeymoon now, so I don't talk about work.

Yang Jing does know that UniCredit is the sixth largest company in Italy, but although this company has a good revenue, it has been in a serious loss situation for the past few years, especially in 2017. It lost more than 100 billion U.S. dollars within a year, 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 UniCredit was acquired as a whole, Yang Jing would not be alarmed. With Joseph Hunter around, it was enough for him to handle these matters.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing turned around and found that Schultz's expression became more respectful.

There is no way to do this. If it is really counted, Dragon Fund has already started its layout in Europe since the 1980s, including the acquisition of the stocks of top-ranked multinational groups in Europe. Later, when the former Soviet Union disintegrated, under the instruction of Yang Jing, Dragon Fund established Atlantic Capital, which was controlled by Niam Wilson and was mainly responsible for investment and speculative projects in Europe.

Later, Joseph Hunter succeeded Niam as the second-generation head of Atlantic Capital. He has done better in Europe these years.

However, because of the purpose of not being exposed, Atlantic Capital was unknown throughout Europe. However, following Yang Jing's announcement that the subsidiaries under the Dragon Fund began to lift the ban, the reputation of these subsidiaries with superpowers in Europe and the United States began to rapidly spread in Europe and the United States.

Many giants across Europe and the United States suddenly discovered that Atlantic Capital stood behind their largest holding institution!

Therefore, even if it was only a few months, people like Joseph, Michael, Frank Abbas, and Harrison Johnson immediately became international giants.

The capital they control is too huge, and they could hide it in the past, using puppets of one kind or another to cover it up, so outsiders don't know about it. Now that the ban has begun to be lifted, once giants of the scale such as Pacific Capital and KY Investment Fund surface, anyone who is interested will know how terrifying the capital controlled by these giants is.

Just like Leshun, which can almost be called the world's largest superyacht manufacturer, the shareholder structure behind it is also relatively complicated. However, Leshun's largest holding institution is Atlantic Capital. Atlantic Capital holds more than 20% of the shares in this super yacht manufacturer, and is well-deserved as Leshun's largest shareholder.

And the big boss of Atlantic Capital, that is, Joseph Hunter is also an absolute top tycoon in Europe now, but no one thought that such a top tycoon would actually work for others. And the bigger boss standing behind Joseph Hunter turned out to be this inconspicuous Chinese young man in front of him.

If it wasn't for Michael's serious instructions when he called Michael just now, saying that he must treat his boss, that is, the young man well, how could Schultz have thought that the real tycoon was standing in front of him? .

And the call that the young man answered just now proved this point even more.

In other words, the young man in front of him is Leshun's largest shareholder! The kind of really big man who has the power to call the board of directors and decide whether the top of the company will stay or not.

Yang Jing didn't want to poke here anymore, so he waved his hand and said, Come on, take us to the shipyard, I want to see what kind of super yacht Michael has customized for me.

Yang Jing's words were equivalent to orders, Schultz quickly followed up and took the initiative to act as a guide. The group of people behind him are probably Leshun's executives, so they can only follow from a distance at this time.

More than a dozen battery cars have been parked outside the door. Battery vehicles for transportation in German companies are a very common thing. They have no pollution and low energy consumption, which is very in line with the goal of low emissions pursued by the Germans.

Yang Jing and the others came from the north when they came, so they only saw the headquarters building of Leshun, but not the shipyard behind the headquarters building of 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 appearance of the shipyard. Naturally, the two tallest buildings attracted the most attention.

Seeming to have noticed Yang Jing's gaze, Schultz explained in a low voice: Mr. Yang, this is our No. 1 shipyard in Leshun. Do you see the two largest buildings? That is our No. 1 shipyard. The two largest docks in the factory are both 20,000-ton docks, one 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 in a while, you can see our second shipyard in Lemwede across the Weser River. That shipyard is on the south bank of the Weser River. It is mainly to undertake the task of building smaller superyachts. There are more docks over there, but most of them are below 10,000-ton class.”

While speaking, the battery car came to the core area of ​​the shipyard, which is where the two shipyards are located.

One of the two docks is a dry dock built on land, with a bluish-white wall, the length is less than 200 meters, the width should be less than 40 meters, and the height is about 30 meters. And another floating dock built in the Weser River is about the same size as this dry dock.

The exits of the two docks are close to each other, and the distance between them is more than ten meters, so the two docks are actually built at a forty-five-degree angle.

However, it is not the two docks that attract the most attention, but the super yacht that looks extremely imposing docked on the west side of the dock.

It was a pure white superyacht, which was quietly docked at the pier at this time, and it should be undergoing a comprehensive overhaul.

Seeing that the eyes of Yang Jing and his group were all attracted by the white super yacht, Schultz explained: Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, this yacht is what we Leshun bought for Oman after the new century. Built by the ruler, Sultan Qaboos bin Al Said, this super yacht was delivered in 2007. Even though it has been 13 years, this yacht is still the fourth largest super yacht in the world. Yachting is the pride of Leshun.”

Is this yacht here for maintenance? Grid asked curiously.

Yes, dear ma'am, superyachts like this are almost the same as warships, and they need regular maintenance every year. This Al Saeed is here for maintenance, and this yacht will come every year for maintenance.

Grid nodded and did not speak again. On the way here, Gege also took the time to inquire about the cost of this super yacht. The high cost made her a little bit tongue-tied.

This kind of customized super yacht looks really beautiful, but the cost is a sky-high price, whether it is the construction cost, the use cost or the maintenance cost, it is simply unaffordable for ordinary rich people.

The reason why a super yacht is called a super yacht is because this super luxurious yacht is a super expensive big toy that only the super rich can afford. This super expensive big toy hardly appreciates in value, and the annual cost of crew salaries, fuel, docking services and maintenance fees is equivalent to 10% of the superyacht's value.

The total value of the 25 most valuable superyachts in the world currently exceeds $7.5 billion. However, this kind of big toy that costs a lot of money will lose money as long as it is resold, so only a very few people on this planet can afford to play with such a big toy.
