The phone call that the young man just answered further proved this point.
In other words, this young man in front of him was the largest shareholder of Leshun! He was a real big shot who had the power to convene a board of directors and decide whether the company's top executives would stay or go.
Yang Jing didn't want to stand there any longer, so he waved his hand and said, "Come on, take us to the shipyard. What I want most is to see what kind of super yacht Michael has customized for me."
Yang Jing's words were equivalent to an order. Schultz followed quickly and took the initiative to act as a guide. The group of people behind him were probably all senior executives of Leshun, and at this time they could only follow from a distance.
There are more than ten electric vehicles parked outside the door. It is very common for German companies to use electric vehicles for transportation. They are pollution-free and low in energy consumption, which is in line with the low-emission goal pursued by the Germans.
Yang Jing and his team came from the north, so they only saw Le Shun’s headquarters building and did not see the shipyard behind the Le Shun headquarters building.
The electric car drove on the road for a while and passed the Leshun headquarters building. Then Yang Jing and his friends saw the appearance of the shipyard. The most eye-catching things were naturally the two tallest buildings.
As if noticing Yang Jing's gaze, Schultz explained in a low voice: "Mr. Yang, this is our Leshun No. 1 Shipyard. Do you see the two largest buildings? They are the two largest docks in our No. 1 Shipyard. Both are 20,000-ton 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, Schulz continued, "When we get to the dock, you'll be able to see our second shipyard in Lemwede across the Weser River. That shipyard is on the south bank of the Weser River and is mainly responsible for building smaller superyachts. There are more docks over there, but most of them are docks below 10,000 tons."
As they were talking, the electric car arrived at the core area of the shipyard, where the two docks were located.
One of the two docks is a dry dock built on land, with bluish-white walls, and a length of less than 200 meters, a width of less than 40 meters, and a height of about 30 meters. The other is a floating dock built in the Weser River, and is about the same size as the dry dock.
The exits of the two docks are close to each other, and the distance between them is about ten meters, so the two docks are actually built at a forty-five-degree angle.
However, what attracts the most attention is not the two docks, but the extremely magnificent super yacht docked on the west side of the dock.
It was a pure white super yacht, which was quietly docked at the dock, probably undergoing a comprehensive inspection.
Seeing that Yang Jing and his group were all attracted by the white superyacht, Schultz explained, "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, this yacht was built by our Leshun for the ruler of Oman, Sultan Qaboos bin Al Said, after the new century. This superyacht was delivered in 2007. Even though thirteen years have passed, this yacht is still the fourth largest superyacht in the world and the pride of our Leshun."
"Is this yacht being maintained here now?" Gege asked curiously.
"Yes, madam, a super yacht like this needs regular maintenance every year, just like a warship. This Al Said is here for maintenance. This yacht comes here for maintenance every year."
Gege nodded and said nothing more. On the way here, Gege also took the time to check the cost of this super yacht. The high cost made her a little stunned.
This customized super yacht does look extremely splendid, but the cost is astronomical. Whether it is the construction cost, the usage cost or the maintenance cost, it is simply unaffordable for ordinary wealthy people.
The reason why superyachts are called superyachts is that these super-luxury yachts are super-expensive toys that only super-rich people can afford. These super-expensive toys hardly appreciate in value, and the annual cost of crew wages, fuel, docking services and maintenance fees is equivalent to 10% of the value of the superyacht.
The total value of the world's 25 most valuable superyachts is more than $7.5 billion. However, these toys cost so much that they will lose money on resale, so only a very few people on this planet can afford to play with them.
