Chapter 141: The Gold-Swallowing Behemoth
The helicopter landed on the helipad on the bow deck.
James, who was wearing a captain's uniform, led a group of crew members to stand outside, and when he saw Mo Fan coming down, he immediately stood and saluted Mo Fan: "Boss, the Star Sea has successfully arrived in the Tuamotu Islands, please give instructions for the next step." ”
"Anchor. Head to Mataiwa Atoll early tomorrow morning for an atoll sail before heading to Makatea Island. Mo Fan stepped forward with a smile and slapped James on the chest: "How is this yacht?"
"Enough. James gave a thumbs up, and then whispered in Mo Fan's ear: "They are the crew recommended by the B+V shipyard, 35 people." Not officially signed yet...... There are no problems with the background, and there are no problems with the technical aspects. ”
"Hmm. Mo Fan looked at them and nodded: "Fix the yacht first, and go to the conference room at 8:30." ”
“OK。 ”
In the crowd, Kyle and his men were looking at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan stepped forward and hugged him: "Everything is loaded?"
"In the safe. ”
"Okay, let's settle down first, and we'll talk about that later. ”
There are a total of 7 floors on the surface of the yacht, and the 7th floor is the radar room and the observation deck. Including radars, antennas, and the like, the outcropping part of the yacht is close to 40 meters high. There are 5.5 meters underwater......
On the 6th floor is the owner's bedroom.
The owner's cabin is 265 square meters in size and has a living room with a large sea view, a master bedroom and two guest bedrooms.
Kane lets Kyle go and they stay in the VIP cabin on the 5th floor.
Mo Fan led Zhao Jiyang and Meng Xi to the 6th floor.
"...... at night" Mo Fan smiled hippiely, and was caught before he finished speaking.
"I share a bedroom with Meng Xi. ”
"Okay. You sleep in the master bedroom, and QH and I have a guest bedroom. Mo Fan put down the cage in frustration, and luckily hurriedly ran over to see its child. A few puppies are hungry again, and luckily take care of them while they look at their new and unfamiliar surroundings.
Zhao Jiyang and they picked up their luggage and went to the bedroom, Mo Fan touched Lucky's head, moved the little milk dogs to his bedroom, counted the luggage and went to the water dispenser in the living room to get hot water, brewed milk powder for the little milk dogs, put it back in the bedroom to cool down, and prepared to feed it at night.
"Huge living room and terrace in the open air. Meng Xi went over and pushed open the window to feel the oncoming sea breeze.
Zhao Jiyang shook his head: "I don't know why I bought this yacht?" Zhao Jiyang knows the price of this yacht, and then counts the supporting facilities of the yacht, such as two luxury helicopters...... All that counts, the yacht has cost almost 10 billion yuan so far. In the future, a marina will be built for the yacht, and the annual use cost will be ......
"Having said that, is it difficult for Mo Fan to raise such a yacht with annual expenses?" Meng Xi's father loved yachts, so much so that he also knew yachts quite well. Although there is not much information and data about the Xinghai on the Internet, it can probably be speculated that the total tonnage of this yacht should be more than 17,000 tons. At present, offshore diesel is expensive, and it is estimated that it costs 10 million yuan to fill up the tank once.
"I guess so. Zhao Jiyang knew that Mo Fan still had an industry in the United States, packed his luggage, looked at the big bedroom, and came to Mo Fan's room.
Mo Fan was teasing the puppy, and when he saw Zhao Jiyang coming in, he pulled him into his arms: "When are we going to hold a wedding?"
"I just said yes on the spur of the moment, I can't count ......"
"It's too much. ”
"At the very least, I have to get my parents' consent and discuss with them. As for you, don't you discuss it with your uncle and aunt? Zhao Jiyang leaned on Mo Fan's arms.
"I'm in charge of my own business. Mo Fan hugged Zhao Jiyang and lay down on the bed, sighing: "I don't have a good relationship with my mother, and I had a big fight before." ”
"Why?"
Mo Fan shook his head: "I didn't handle things well, and I disappointed my mother." ”
"Are you worried that Auntie doesn't like me?" Zhao Jiyang asked with a pout.
"It's not. She's been looking forward to me getting married for a long time. I like to go against her again......" Mo Fan touched Zhao Jiyang's face.
"Then let's get married secretly?" Zhao Jiyang shrunk his neck and said.
"Hmm. How about getting a Tahitian marriage license first?"
"No! I'm not such a casual girl! You're going to take me around the world on a luxury yacht, you're going to kiss me in a 20,000-foot hot air balloon, you're going to woo me in a field covered with rose petals. And ......"
"Do you want to be so troublesome? Then travel around the world first......" Mo Fan made a bitter face, feeling that this line was a little familiar, where had he heard it.
Zhao Jiyang smiled and reached out to pinch Mo Fan's nose: "It's like a pig." You should at least take me to choose a wedding ring first. ”
Mo Fan laughed.
"Yangyang, Mo Fan. Meng Xi's voice came from outside the door.
Mo Fan got up and opened the door.
"What are you doing in the house?"
"Discuss marriage. Mo Fan smiled, looked at Meng Xi and raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to be together?"
"Together?"
"Let's get the Tahitian marriage certificate first. ”
"I heard that getting married here is a lot of trouble...... Don't bother you. Meng Xi fled in the wilderness.
Mo Fan looked at the time, it was past eight o'clock, and took Zhao Jiyang's hand and went downstairs.
Kyle and Kane were not there, Mo Fan called, and a group of them were drinking in the bar on the third floor, which was the hull deck.
Mo Fan went over to find them, James was also there, and when they saw Mo Fan and them coming, they all stood up.
"Mo, I'll discuss something with you. Kane said with a bitter face.
Say. ”
"Xinghai yacht, I really don't know how to operate it, so don't hang it under the name of the group. "Kane just heard James tell the details of the Star Sea, and came to a conclusion that it costs too much money if he can't afford to raise it.
"Okay. Mo Fan shrugged and sat down at the table with Kane, James and Kyle.
James cut a cigar for Mo Fan, and also handed one to Wang QH, and said, "We were talking about the Xinghai just now. ”
"You've tested it, what's the fastest speed on the yacht?"
"Section 37.5. The fastest speed we've tested. ”
37.5 knots, almost 69.5 kilometers per hour, the most gross tonnage of 17,500 tons of superyachts, is already very fast, equivalent to flying.
"How's the fuel consumption?"
James spread his hands: "A yacht with full power is a complete gold-swallowing beast." The Star has a displacement of 17,500 tons and a fuel tank capacity of 1.8 million liters (1,550 tons). The maximum speed we tested in the Pacific Ocean, when it was downwind, reached 30 knots after 10 minutes at full power. In total, it was tested for 3 hours and consumed 260,000 liters (223.75 tons) of fuel. ”
"Fuel consumption in one nautical mile?" Mo Fan frowned.
"I ran a total of 104 nautical miles in three hours. Fuel consumption per nautical mile is 2,500 liters, or 2.15 tons. James' expression was quite wonderful.
"The difference in fuel consumption between maximum speed and economy speed cruising is almost 10 times. With a displacement of 17,500 tons, the maximum power propulsion and fuel consumption of 2.15 tons per nautical mile are already very good. If you're cruising economically, you should be spending between two hundred and three hundred litres per nautical mile?" asked Kyle, looking at James.
James nodded.
Yachts are not freighters and cruise ships, and their cruising speed generally refers to economic speed, which is the speed at which the yacht consumes the least fuel within 100 nautical miles.
"What is the cruise speed of the Star Ocean?"
Verse 23. Fuel consumption in cruising mode is 265 l/nautical mile. This is an average figure for 1,000 nautical miles at sea. ”
"Cool!" Mo Fan gave a thumbs up: "So, its longest range of 6,500 nautical miles is real data." ”
"True. But if it soars, the Xinghai with a full load of 1,550 tons of fuel oil can only run more than 700 nautical miles......"
The price of marine diesel is now 7,160 yuan a ton, and it costs more than 11 million yuan to fill up the oil once. In addition, such a large yacht, it not only burns one kind of oil, but also various auxiliary oils...... The 1.8 million litres of diesel fuel were consumed with empty fuel capacity, and the rest of the auxiliary oil was about the same. All oil, once filled, get 12 million yuan.
Mo Fan touched his chin, and the calculated result startled him. At cruising speed, the cost per nautical mile is about 1,650 RMB.
In addition, the yacht needs a fixed crew of 35 people, which is the minimum number. The shipyard designed 65 crew cabins for each yacht...... A real gold-eating behemoth.
