There are more than 7,000 kilometers between Hawaii and Tohoku, and the range of the Yak-141 with auxiliary fuel tanks is only more than 2,000 kilometers. Wouldn't it stop on some deserted island instead of on the aircraft carrier?
Old Larry figured out all the tricks at once. This little friend he just met is no ordinary person!
“Beep~~”
“Beep~~”
The Invincible-class ship's whistle sounded, and the Musashi saluted in return.
After the two ships approached, the father and son realized how tall the aircraft carrier was. They were both standing on the upper deck, and their eyes were just about to be directed to the flight deck. Xia Yu on the deck was waving at them!
"Let's go."
Old Larry waved his hand, took his son on the helicopter, flew over more than ten meters and landed on the flight deck of the Invincible-class helicopter.
"Xia Yuke, I never thought your yacht would actually be an aircraft carrier."
"I also have a polar icebreaker exploration vessel being renovated in Leshun. I prefer special models."
The icebreaker is special enough, and the second-hand aircraft carrier is also special enough. Xia Yu is indeed not a person who follows the rules.
"You young people have such a rich imagination. Why didn't I think of this a few years earlier..."
Old Larry regretted his decision and felt that he was too conservative when he was young.
"There were originally three Invincible-class ships. Aside from mine, the other two were dismantled. If I had known Mr. Ellison back then, I would have definitely recommended you take one."
"Yes, such a good opportunity wasted. I think your aircraft carrier is just the right size. Any bigger and it would be inconvenient. Any smaller and it wouldn't be an aircraft carrier. A little over 200 meters is just right."
After hearing what Xia Yu said, Old Larry regretted it even more. His Lanai Island also had a natural deep-water harbor, where the Rising Sun had been able to dock before, so there would definitely be no problem growing an Invincible-class ship by one-third.
"Let's not talk about this for now. How about I show you around?"
Xia Yu suggested that some people like to hide good things when they get them, while others like to share them with friends.
He should split it half and half. There's nothing wrong with sharing it with friends, but there are bound to be people who hate the rich among those you don't know. They can guide public opinion. Even if you don't do anything, your reputation will be ruined.
This is also the reason why Xia Yu is relatively low-key in China. What the public can see is what he deliberately lets them see. They know nothing about his real life.
The Ellisons followed Xia Yu to visit the remodeled Invincible-class military ship, the exterior, and the interior of the super yacht, which were a step up in luxury compared to the Musashi.
Old Larry couldn't help but wonder in his heart, who was richer, him or Xia Yu?
On the 2019 Forbes Global Billionaires List, he ranked seventh in the world with a net worth of US$65.2 billion, while Amancio Ortega, who was ahead of him, had only more than 200 million more than him. A small increase in stock prices can make up for this gap.
But now, Xia Yu's plane and Xia Yu's yacht are better than his, and he is finding it increasingly difficult to see this young man clearly.
Is he a hidden rich man?
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. There is a similar proverb abroad, so there is such a group of invisible rich people in the East and the West. They will not appear on various rich lists, nor deal with the media, and are unknown to the majority of the public, just like invisible people.
Xia Yu has appeared on the rich list, but his father is much more mysterious, which fits the description of an invisible rich man very well.
Old Larry thought of many things in an instant, but he didn't know that the truth was that Old Xia took the blame for the system. With the endorsement of such an agent, all unreasonable assets could become reasonable.
The real hidden rich are mostly families, because they have been passed down for a longer time. Those on the rich list are mostly individual upstarts who gradually rose in the second half of the 20th century.
Even though old Larry is 75 years old, he is still one of the new rich. He was able to earn his billions of dollars by seizing the opportunity of the international Internet. He had achieved nothing until he was 30, and his first wife even divorced him because of this.
Compared to him, Xia Yu is really too young. Only with this explanation can the wealth he displayed be reasonable. Otherwise, he started to expand globally when he was a teenager?
You should know that this Invincible-class ship was ordered three years ago, and the ownership change was completed in 2015. At that time, Xia Yu was still in his third year of high school!
"Oh my god! What am I seeing? The tanks of all the major countries involved in World War II are all here!"
When he arrived at the tank warehouse and saw Xia Yu's numerous collections, David Ellison said in an extremely horrified tone that he was really shocked.
Old Larry is generous enough to his son, but it is impossible for him to give billions at once. The tanks here are expensive and cheap, and the average price is one million US dollars per tank. There must be tens of millions here!
It was enough for his father to build a Japanese-style royal mansion, and these were just one of Xia Yu's collections.
David didn't look at the problem as deeply as Larry Sr. He saw that the problem of gathering so many types of tanks was not how much money it would cost, but how much influence it would take.
Many times, money is not everything. If someone is well-off, they will not give up their cherished things for money. But influence can make people give you things without asking for a penny.
If the system did not exist, Old Larry's judgment would be correct, but with the system, many things cannot be inferred using common sense.
If it doesn't exist in this world, then look for it in other worlds. If it doesn't exist in other worlds, then push the timeline of this world forward. It must have existed during World War II.
"How is that possible? They are all easy-to-find models."
Xia Yu said this modestly, but the reality was in front of David!
