"Chief Engineer Wang, can we talk about it alone?"

As long as Miss Lu is willing, of course I, Wang Buan, am willing to accompany me. ”

"Then I will thank Chief Engineer Wang. ”

"Say it. ”

Wang Buan waved his hand.

Cao Zhiyuan and the others went out.

In the living room, only Wang Buan and Lu Lingqi were left.

Lu Lingqi took off her red gloves first.

She untied her hair again, and it suddenly cascaded down.

Wang Buan looked at each other silently.

Lu Lingqi is a very natural action.

He felt that his movements were also natural.

It seems that the rumors that Chief Engineer Wang is lustful and lascivious are not true. Lu Lingqi suddenly said, "Some people are just preconceived. ”

"I have a lot of women. Wang Buan said calmly, "It's commonplace." ”

"Good. Let's get down to business. ”

"Say it. ”

Lu Lingqi picked up the red handbag.

She pulled out a stack of origami from her handbag and slowly spread it out.

It turned out to be a design drawing for a large ship.

Not a transport ship.

Nor is it a frozen ship.

Rather, it is a cruise ship with a displacement of 80,000 tons.

That's right, it's a cruise ship. Like the Titanic's kind. Of course, it is much more advanced and luxurious than the Titanic.

According to the design drawings, the cruise ship with a displacement of 80,000 tons will have more than 2,000 rooms of various kinds. There are also more than 20 restaurants. 8 swimming pools. There are also deck golf, ballroom, bar, casino, shop, rock climbing, open-air park, gymnasium, shooting range, library, recreation room and many other facilities. The initial investment will be approximately CNY 1.5 billion.

Wang Buan looked at each other with puzzled eyes.

Miss Lu showed herself the drawings of the cruise ship, what does it mean?

Do you want me to do the construction?

Impossible!

I don't have that ability for the time being!

Shipbuilding, no joke. It is a very systematic project. It requires a lot of human, financial and material resources.

At present, the new Hongyang Shipyard is already full of orders for modified ships, and there is simply no spare capacity to build new ships.

Moreover, such cruise ships with a displacement of up to 80,000 tons cannot be built by every shipyard.

Only a behemoth like Annan Shipyard has the strength to take orders!

"I want to confirm two things. Lu Lingqi said.

"Say it. Wang Buan said calmly.

"First, I need to use the powertrain you invented. I want to keep fuel costs to a minimum. ”

"Yes. ”

"The second point is that I need to use a watermaker. ”

"Yes. ”

Lu Lingqi's eyes shone brightly.

She stared firmly into Wang Buan's eyes, as if she wanted to see him through.

Wang Buan shook his head secretly in his heart.

He wanted to say, Miss Lu, you are too nervous.

Don't you just want me to be able to provide a low-cost powertrain?

Don't you just want me to provide a watermaker? I'll give you one for free. Even two or three are no problem.

You haven't been so mysterious about this kind of thing.

People who don't know the inside story think that we closed the door and muttered some trade secrets inside.

Of course, this matter, for the Lu family, may indeed be confidential.

After all, the amount of money required to build an 80,000-ton cruise ship is also calculated in billions.

1.5 billion yuan is just an initial investment. It is a fixed asset.

After the cruise ship is delivered from the shipyard, it still needs a lot of soft decoration. It's also very expensive.

It's a little weird......

We in Huaxia don't seem to be very keen on cruises!

At present, the international cruise market is mainly concentrated in the hands of a few large companies.

For example, Caribbean International Cruise Line Liberty in the United States. It has many famous large cruise ships such as Ocean Harmony, Ocean Charm, Ocean Oasis, Ocean Freedom, and Ocean Quantum.

For example, Canard Cruises. It has super cruise ships such as Queen Mary 1 and Queen Mary 2.

In addition, there is the Norwegian Epic, known as the Villa on the Sea.

There is also the Dream of Carnival Cruises.

There is also the first Mediterranean brilliant cruise ship, it is 333.3 meters long, can accommodate 4,000 passengers, 72 steps in the VIP area of the luxury cruise ship are all paved by Swarovski crystals, each step costs 260,000 yuan, and to provide super five-star hotel services and civilization. "Mediterranean Splendor" is known as the world's most luxurious cruise ship, spending more than 200 million yuan per day.

As a result of these efforts, MSC Cruises has grown rapidly over the past few years and has grown to 10 vessels in its fleet. By 2010, the new MSC MAGNIFICA will be launched and will have 11 cruise ships, including the 130,000-ton Glory, Fantasia, 90,000-ton Magnificia, Poetry, Wind and Music, 60,000-ton Opera, Lyric, Overture, Harmony and 30,000-ton Melody.

Pay attention to this data.

It is until 2010.

Since then, there have been no major cruise ships launched in the world.

It is conceivable how huge the upfront investment of cruise ships is. If you are not optimistic about the prospect of the market, I am afraid that you will not continue to invest.

"Why did Miss Lu suddenly think of entering the cruise market?" asked Wang Bu'an curiously.

"Sea freight is not easy to do. Margins are too low. Lu Lingqi said sullenly.

Her personality seems to be a bit masculine.

She didn't hide anything in front of Wang Buan.

After all, she and Wang Buan have no conflict of interest. The more pleasant the cooperation between the two sides, the better.

"But the cruise ship market doesn't seem to be doing well. ”

"So you have to keep costs down!"

Lu Lingqi simply said that the key to her success lies in the cost.

As long as the cost is reduced, there is a lot to be done.

What's the bulk of the cost? Isn't that the cost of fuel?

As long as the fuel cost is reduced, the rest is easy to say. She still has confidence in the cruise market.

At present, in the world's high-end cruise market, ticket prices are very expensive. The cost of a tourist per day is basically more than 100 US dollars. If she had managed to reduce the average cost to about $50 a day, she would have been able to attract a large number of customers. In the Chinese market alone, she was able to tap into a bonanza.

A day trip to the Mediterranean, a seven-day trip on the Brilliant Ship, requires a minimum of €1,500 per guest to pay for a ferry ticket. Once on board, there are a lot of extras. Therefore, its source market is actually relatively limited. However, if the ticket price could be reduced to 800 euros, the source market would swell more than tenfold.

If the ticket price is reduced to 500 euros, then the source market can be expanded by more than 10 times.

After all, there are 700 million people in the whole of Europe.

Europeans have relatively high incomes. Almost half of the people can afford to spend 500 euros.

As long as this group of people can be absorbed, then the cruise market can be activated.

Of course, if you want to make money, the key is the cost of fuel.

The key to all this problem is Wang Buan's power system. The lower the fuel cost, the better.

She needs to be assured by Wang Buan.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to carry out this project.

"I want to have a joint venture with you. Lu Lingqi said slowly, "You are in charge of the power system and the seawater watermaker. I was in charge of the hull and other equipment. ”

"I don't react. Wang Buan said cautiously, "But, how do we confirm the right?"

"I give you 18% of the shares. ”

"Okay. ”

Wang Bu'an nodded thoughtfully.

18% of the shares, relatively speaking, is quite reasonable. After all, he was only responsible for providing the power system.

Inferring from this shareholding ratio, Lu Lingqi still very much hopes that this cruise ship can be built. Maybe it's because she's under a lot of pressure.

There are so many descendants of the Lu family, why can she be selected as the heir?

If there is not enough performance, others will definitely not be convinced!

It's just that she is very strong and refuses to admit defeat easily.

It's good if you don't choose me. Since you have chosen me, I will not easily hand over power.

I will never let you see the day I fail.

"Chief Engineer Wang, let's pull the hook?"

"Good!"

"Pull the hook and hang it, and it will not change for a hundred years. ”

"Don't change. ”

Wang Buan is also a teenager.

He really reached out and hooked the other party. He found that Lu Lingqi's strength was not small.

After all, it is often active on the ocean. Her ability to protect herself is definitely good. Perhaps, one or two big men may not be her opponents. Otherwise, there must not be such a dashing one.

Sure enough, Lu Lingqi smiled and said meaningfully: "Are you curious? I am the seventh dan of taekwondo." ”

"I also know a taekwondo 28th dan. Wang Buan said casually.

"You're talking about Beigong Yanying, right?"

"Huh, you know?"

Wang Buan felt a little surprised.

Lu Lingqi actually knows Beigong Yanying?

I thought Beigong Yanying was bragging, but I didn't expect that even the eldest lady of the Lu family knew it?

"I just learned from her. Lu Lingqi said with a smile.

"Can't you?" Wang Bu'an immediately retorted.

"I followed her when I was five years old. At that time, she was also five years old. ”

"I ......"

Wang Buan felt that something was wrong.

However, there is no way to say what is wrong.

In this way, Beigong Yanying and Lu Lingqi are the same age, so how did Miss Lu learn from a beautiful coach?

"She's actually a taekwondo nine-dan. Lu Lingqi solved the mystery.

"How did you get the title of the twenty-eighth paragraph?" Wang Buan asked suspiciously.

"You must be talking about eighteen paragraphs. ”

"It seems to be ......"

"Actually, it's not wrong to say that she is twenty-eight paragraphs. She is a nine-dan taekwondo, nine-dan Muay Thai, nine-dan judo, and one karate. Twenty-eight paragraphs in total. ”

"What? She knows Muay Thai?"

The corners of Wang Buan's mouth suddenly twitched.

Oh of God.

She actually knows Muay Thai?

At the thought of the ferocity of Muay Thai, Wang Bu'an shuddered.

It is said that Muay Thai moves are deadly, and the punches are to the flesh, and I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, Tony Jia's shot in the movie is very murderous.

Fortunately, he has never provoked the other party before.

Fortunately, Princess Hulu did not learn Muay Thai either.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as being split.

"The cruise ship, let's just decide. Let me know when you're ready. Let's now go back to Pluto. Wang Buan said.

"Okay. Lu Lingqi said calmly.

Today's third watch is here. There will be a change in 5 minutes. Continue to ask for referral votes. Thank you. Anything else?
