At noon, Xia Yu stayed in the factory cafeteria to have a staff meal, and then the factory's first personnel change was announced. He fired the cafeteria manager because the food was too bad.
Is this reasonable? Even if the big pot food is not as delicious as the small stove food, the factory canteen under the technology company opened by the catering business owner cannot be of this standard.
Xia Yu directly packed up several chefs and sent them to Xia Ji's kitchen, and transferred a few more chefs to take up their posts, which greatly improved the taste of the food in the cafeteria.
Only if you eat well can you work well. During his previous inspection in Magnesium, Xia Yuke had eaten in the canteens of several large companies. I can’t say they were very delicious, but at least they were not the inedible pig food.
After solving the problem in the cafeteria, Xia Yu went home and sat in the back seat of Zeppelin, still thinking about the future.
Now that the first step has been taken, there is no turning back. All we can do is to forge ahead courageously, continuously conquer cities and strongholds, and seize domestic and foreign markets.
I just don't know whether his net worth of hundreds of billions is due to catering or new energy. It is difficult to achieve such a large scale in investment and film and television. However, the money he can get from investing in "The Wandering Earth" is almost enough for him to take over this battery company.
The New Year has passed, but Spring Festival movies are still being released, setting new records every weekend. Xia Yu estimates that the final box office should exceed 5 billion yuan, and may even break the record of "Wolf Warrior 2".
Well, it’s a successful investment, I have to reward myself well when the time comes.
As a future wealthy man, Xia Yu is definitely not a slave to wealth. He must spend the money he earns, but he has not yet figured out how to spend it.
By the way, didn’t Xiao Jiang say before that she wanted to go to Antarctica for her graduation trip? She also said that it would be nice to have an icebreaking yacht for adventure. Isn’t this a coincidence?
Customizing a super yacht that belongs to you, from design to construction, to decoration and launching, is not something that can be completed in a few months or a year like a supercar. The entire cycle is at least two years, and more than two years is more common.
Xiao Jiang is now in the second semester of his junior year, so he has to hurry up and place the order. If he doesn't have time, he can just buy an icebreaker and refurbish it. Xia Yu doesn't mind this second-hand one.
If there are no icebreakers, then we can only turn to second-hand cruisers and second-hand conventional-powered submarines. Submarines are better at breaking ice than many icebreakers.
After returning home, Xia Yu began to collect information. The yacht manufacturer he initially liked was Palmer Johnson, which had cooperated with Bugatti. His Niniette 66 was produced by them, but the other party focused on sports style, which was quite suitable for cars, but not for adventure.
PASS!
There are many luxury yacht brands. If this one is not suitable, then try another one.
Ferretti?
The name sounds like Ferrari Brothers, but it is indeed an Italian brand. I took a quick look at the flagship ship model.
Forget it, they are all too short. He already has a 20-meter yacht, and now he just wants another one that is over 100 meters. Even if the budget exceeds one or two times, it is acceptable. If not, at least one must be 80 or 90 meters!
After much deliberation, Xia Yu chose Lürssen from the United States, which is also a long-established yacht manufacturer famous for producing large luxury yachts. The famous expedition yacht Octopus was produced by it.
The Octopus was owned by Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft. Following his death in October last year, the large toy was also put up for auction.
Xia Yu was not interested in this because the ship could not break ice and its exploration capabilities were more focused on exploring shipwrecks on the seabed rather than polar exploration.
Besides, this boat is a bit old, probably more than ten years old. He only likes some "old guys" with special meaning. If he just wants to buy a yacht, it is better to get a brand new one. Anyway, there are many berths in the deep-water port of Kana Island, and several ships can be docked.
After making the decision, Xia Yu called Le Shun and explained his requirements to them.
"Dear Mr. Sherlock, we are honored that you have chosen Leshun, but this is the first time we have received such a commission. I will give you a reply after communicating with the design team."
The other party is quite rigorous. They can build a 100-meter super yacht, but a 100-meter icebreaking exploration boat really tests the strength of the hull structure.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu received a call back within two days, saying that there was no technical problem, but the construction period was too long. Given that Xia Yu required a relatively urgent time, they had another plan.
"Mr. Sherlock, the situation is this: at the end of last year, our country's polar research icebreaker, the Polar Star, was officially retired, and the Polar Star 2 was officially launched and commissioned this year. If you need it, we can help you take over the Polar Star and refit and upgrade it."
After listening to the proposal put forward by the other party, Xia Yu also heard the name Polaris for the first time.
In the global icebreaker fleet, there are 78 icebreakers with a power of more than 10,000 horsepower, 4 are under construction, and 13 are planned to be built, totaling 95. Many of them have been in service for decades, and some have been retired recently. Isn’t this what he encountered?
But it is indeed a capitalist country. A scientific research icebreaker like this would not be kept in private hands even if it is retired in China. But here it is sold after the New Year. Doesn't the landlord have any surplus food?
"Could you please send me the detailed information about this ship? I'll have to take a look before I make my decision!"
Xia Yu thought about it and answered carefully.
You can't make a decision without seeing it. If he doesn't like the ship, it will be too late to regret it.
"Okay, I'll send the relevant information to your email. If you're satisfied, please make a decision as soon as possible."
