Two Bugatti Chirons drove into the Port of Bremen. Decades ago, the U-boat assembly factory in Bremen was extremely busy, with U-boats being launched from the Port of Bremen like dumplings.
Decades have passed, and the Port of Bremen is still busy, but there is no sign of the "assassination ghosts" at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. When Xia Yu's icebreaking exploration vessel is completed, he can explore the two poles and look for these sleeping ghosts.
"Is that the one?"
As soon as Ji Yang got out of the car, he pointed at the 10,000-ton ship docked at the port and said.
"Yes, that's the one. It moves pretty fast!"
The Polaris was not originally docked in Bremen Port, and Le Shun only towed it here two days ago. So far, Xia Yu has only paid a deposit, and the ship is not nominally his.
"This ship is really impressive, with such a high superstructure and so many cranes. If you convert it into an exploration boat, you can add small speedboats, small submarines, etc."
Ji Yang is also an knowledgeable person. In fact, as long as your net worth is high enough, people will naturally come to your door to sell you expensive items such as airplanes and yachts. However, his family only bought an airplane, and his father was not very interested in yachts.
"I'm wondering if we could add an anti-frogman or anti-missile system to the ship, so that we can protect ourselves if we encounter pirates."
"You're really bold. With all this, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the port and will have to stay on the high seas."
In this regard, Ji Yang is young, so will Xia Yu need to join the port?
He has his own port, so he doesn't need to stop at any other country's port. He can resupply directly on the high seas. At worst, he can just buy another supply ship.
In fact, Xia Yu was able to place an order this time, because Le Shun seemed to be just a super yacht manufacturer, but few people knew that they also built special ships such as military ships, fast patrol ships, light escort ships, support ships, etc.
Just like Airbus can build fighter jets and Mercedes-Benz can build tanks, whether it is military-to-civilian or civilian-to-military depends on the needs of the times and the country.
"That's not right, Old Xia, you are going to form a private fleet!"
After hearing Xia Yu's thoughts, Ji Yang finally reacted.
"Come on, what kind of fleet is this without even an aircraft carrier?"
This criticism includes more than half of the countries in the world. Not everyone can build and maintain an aircraft carrier, but larger countries have navies, and Mongolia is no exception.
"Stop bragging, are those people from Leshun?"
Ji Yang saw several Chinese people walking towards them.
"Hello, Mr. Sherlock, I'm Frederick, the owner of Lürssen, and welcome to Bremen."
Frederick did not recognize the wrong person, he extended his hand to Xia Yu.
"Hello, Mr. Frederick, Bremen is very beautiful. I will enjoy my stay here for a few days."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sides came together to the Aumund shipyard next to the port. Leshun has a total of four shipbuilding bases, and the one located at the Bremen headquarters is the largest.
Here Xia Yu saw a 219-meter-long floating dock on the sea, and docked in the dock was a brand new super yacht.
"Its name is FlyingFox. It has completed its final flight test and will be delivered to Mr. Bezos in two days."
Frederick introduced to the two that the Flying Fox is 136 meters long and even has two helipads.
Rich people know how to enjoy life. Bezos paid more than 400 million US dollars for this yacht, which is only a fraction of his total net worth.
The world's richest man, Jack Ma from Magnesium, has even surpassed Bill Gates. It's really a piece of cake for him to have such a super yacht. I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"Mr. Frederick, you mean..."
"Yes, in the next year, the work of the Olmde shipyard will be the transformation of the Polar Star, which is a challenge for us."
You have to queue up to buy a yacht. Xia Yu was lucky that the project was special. After internal discussions, Le Shun gave the renovation of the Polaris the highest priority.
"I believe in Leshun. You are the best yacht builder in the world."
Who doesn't like to hear nice words? The Chinese are no exception. Both parties signed the purchase contract of the Polaris with a smile, and Xia Yu also spent 80 million at once.
The renovation contract still needs to be negotiated, and it will definitely cost tens of millions. After all, converting an old icebreaker into a modern icebreaking exploration boat is a huge project, and the engineers and designers who took over the project are also thinking hard about it!
"All the cranes on the bow will be removed, and only one will be retained on the stern. Then a helicopter landing pad will be added to the bow. The space under the wheelhouse is quite large and can be converted into a hangar."
The next morning, in the project design room of Leshun headquarters, Xia Yu was pointing at the drawings of the Polaris and stating his requirements. The other party's staff was listening and taking notes. They would evaluate the feasibility of these requirements later.
If it is feasible, then we will evaluate the budget again and make several different plans. Xia Yu will select the most satisfactory one and then make adjustments.
Fortunately, this is just a renovation. Building a new one would be more troublesome because those who can afford a super yacht all want theirs to be different and unique.
Xia Yu is not the only one who has converted an icebreaker into a yacht. Not long ago, Kelan's Icon Shipyard completed the conversion of an icebreaker named Ragnar.
Well, this ship is a little small, only 68 meters long, and the total cost including construction and materials is 100 million US dollars. If the exchange rate is changed, it will be the same price as Xia Yu's for the Polaris.
If the Polaris had not just been retired, this ship would also be a good choice, but some people think its shape looks like a large slipper.
