The news that Newcastle United qualified for the Champions League is still fermenting, but the media did not see Xiao Feng's family in Newcastle, according to the report of the airport staff, the 'Meng Yao' has left England on the afternoon of the 25th and flew to Hamburg, Germany!

At this time, many media and people reacted, and the ultra-luxury yacht 'project222' ordered by Xiao Feng seemed to be ready for delivery.

'project222' is the largest private yacht ever built, and it is even larger than some commercial cruise ships, and may remain unmatched for years to come.

According to the information disclosed by yacht manufacturer Lürssen, the basic manufacturing cost of 'project222' is as high as 800 million US dollars, plus 200 million US dollars of outfitting, the total cost is more than 1 billion US dollars!

Affected by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and the European debt crisis, the original yacht investor was in trouble with its funds, and finally Xiao Feng took over.

The price of 680 million is considered to be a lot of advantages for Xiao Feng, but when he received the full payment in full within three days, it also amazed the original investors.

After more than a year of outfitting, the 'project222', which was already in a semi-finished state, is ready and will be delivered to Xiao Feng.

At this time, word came out from Hamburg that Lürssen Yachts was preparing to hold a ceremony for the handover, inviting the major media and potential yacht customers to attend.

In the past two years, the international economy has continued to be sluggish, and many wealthy people have also covered their wallets and become more cautious about the consumption of luxury goods such as yachts and private jets.

The reason why 'project222', which cost US$1 billion at the beginning, ended up with a loss of US$320 million shared by Lürssen and the investor is also inseparable from the international situation.

This time, the delivery and unveiling ceremony of 'project222' Leshun also hopes to be held a little grander, giving the whole market some confidence.

Xiao Feng did not have any objection to this. After all, this time I bought 'project222', I took advantage of it, and I couldn't even meet this requirement of Lürssen?

For this reason, when Xiao Feng had not yet set off from Los Angeles, a grand handover ceremony on Children's Day had already been included in the schedule.

Xiao Feng didn't have to worry about it. At that time, he only needs to make an appearance on the scene and be interviewed in front of the global media, and the whole handover ceremony will not cause any trouble to the children and family.

…………

After arriving in Hamburg and settling in at the Kempinski Hotel not far from the marina, Xiao Feng took his family to the Lürssen shipyard to get a glimpse of project222.

For the elderly, can the yacht bought at a cost of more than 4 billion RMB be as worthwhile as seen in the photos? Sometimes, the old people will have the illusion of falling into a dream. After all, the life at home is completely different from ordinary people.

Even Xu Xiangnan, who was the chief administrator of Jiangnan Province, handled hundreds of billions of funds, but those were all state funds, not his own private property like Xiao Feng.

Whether it is the 'Mengyao' or this superyacht that is about to be unveiled, it is the most luxurious product in the world, which is not something that ordinary rich people can afford.

In the case of project222, the daily labor and maintenance costs will not be less than $100,000, which is $40 million a year. Equivalent to 250 million RMB!

Only a super family like the Xiao family, with an income of nearly $30 million, can afford to raise this superyacht.

…………

Germany is the home of Audi. Xiao Feng, as the global image spokesperson, was naturally warmly welcomed by Audi, and a team of ultra-luxurious Audi A8 teams became the Xiao family's means of travel in Germany.

The hotel is not far from the dock of the shipyard, and after fifteen minutes, the convoy entered the area of the dock, and Xiao Feng could see the behemoth on the berth from a distance!

The length of the 222-meter hull gives it a slender body, and the six-story hull looks majestic, and a mighty breath comes to the face!

It is a superyacht with a displacement of 36,000 tons. Its displacement has exceeded the displacement of all individual ships of the Huaxia Navy except for the 'Liaodong' aircraft carrier, which is really incredible.

In international practice, everything with a displacement of more than 500 tons must be named "wheel", but this "project222" is still named after "boat". It's also a very strange thing.

"Dad, what a big boat!" Yu'er exclaimed as she looked up at the yacht she could barely see!

Everyone, including Xiao Feng, stood quietly on the dock, looking up at the superyacht that was about to become their private property, almost stupid.

Even if he had seen it in photos and videos countless times before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, Xiao Feng realized that the impact it brought was so great!

The blue-and-white paint makes it blend in with the sea and the blue sky, while the streamlined shape and the radar antenna at the top of the hull give it a more dreamy color.

Mr. Schmidt, the senior vice president of Lürssen Company, also did not take the initiative to disturb the emotions of Xiao Feng's family, after all, he had also received a large number of yacht customers, and knew that the guests needed a certain amount of time to buffer at this time.

Schmidt is also quite satisfied with Xiao Feng's super customer, although the sale of 'project222' at a discount has not allowed Leshun to make money from this project, but the demonstration effect brought by Xiao Feng has allowed Leshun to successfully gain a firm foothold in the Chinese market.

In the past year, Leshun has received orders for more than 10 yachts from Huaxia tycoons, with a total cost of more than 600 million US dollars, which can undoubtedly make up for some losses of Leshun.

According to the prediction of international financial institutions, in the next 20 years, Huaxia will become the world's largest yacht market, and more and more Huaxia tycoons will choose yachting as a way of life. Even if there will be no more super customers like Xiao Feng, but 350 million yachts will accumulate sand into towers. It is also enough to make Lürssen's future life better.

…………

"Mr. Schmidt, I'm smiling at you!" After half a ring, Xiao Feng regained his composure, turned around and said to Schmidt with a smile: "Now please show us around, we can't wait to see its details!"

Although the decoration details of the yacht, including the equipment, have been seen countless times through photos and videos, Xiao Feng is still looking forward to seeing the moment when the yacht is luxuriously arranged!

Before boarding the yacht gangway. Captain Song Bai, who was dressed as a seafarer, with Liu Haitao, the first mate, and Huang Yimei, the service supervisor, were already waiting for Xiao Feng's family.

Song Bai and Liu Haitao and the mechanical engineering personnel on the yacht are all outstanding talents who retired from the Huaxia Navy, if it weren't for the deep connections of the Xu family in the military, they might not be able to dig you up. As for Huang Yimei and her team, they are selected from the service companies under the 'Jinghu Group' to provide passengers with a full range of high-quality services.

Both teams came to Hamburg from China after the Chinese New Year to receive training on Lürssen and familiarize themselves with 'project222', after all, the superyacht's maiden voyage was a challenging trip around the world!

Despite the fact that the displacement of the project222 exceeds 26,000 tons, the entire ship is highly automated due to the widespread spread of electronic systems. Only 30 crew members are needed for full control. As for the number of service staff dedicated to the host and guests, there are a staggering 36, allowing passengers to enjoy the treatment of emperors.

"Welcome boss!" Song Bai and the others have met with Xiao Feng, Xu Mengyao and others, and they won't be too rusty now!

Huang Yimei and several service staff took the elderly and children to the cabin to let them play and rest, but let Song Bai and Liu Haitao take Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao to visit the various details of the yacht.

On the yacht, there is a small amusement park, which is specially prepared for the children of the Xiao family, which has slides, trampolines, bouncy castles, small pirate ships, etc., which can make the children have a good time.

"Boss. This is the cockpit, where everything on the entire yacht can be viewed and controlled!" approached the cockpit. Song Bai began to introduce Xiao Feng to the various dazzling instruments and screens in the cabin.

In addition to a military-grade GPS positioning system, the yacht also has advanced equipment such as radar and sonar, and even a missile defense system produced by the German military.

In addition, there are 3 helipads on board for guests to board directly by helicopter, all of which are top-of-the-line.

Song Bai was previously the first mate of a guided missile destroyer of the Huaxia Navy. Because of his age and diploma, he could not continue to serve in the army, so he had to retire in disgrace. Now he can continue to work on the ship, even if it is a civilian yacht, but a yacht with such a large displacement is quite satisfactory to him.

Since coming to Hamburg for training. Song Bai has invested almost all his time and energy in 'project222', and he knows more about him than anyone else.

In particular, I heard that the yacht's maiden voyage was to cross the Strait of Gibraltar from Hamburg along the Atlantic Ocean into the Mediterranean, and then through the Suez Canal, through the Indian Ocean, the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea, arrive at Xiangjiang and Haizhou for a period of stay, and then cross the Pacific Ocean to the final destination - Los Angeles!

The voyage was nearly 20,000 nautical miles, and even at an average speed of 20 knots, it would be 1,000 hours and more than 40 days!

Of course, if you count the time for Xiao Feng's family to dock at the port or refuel and refuel the yacht for maintenance, the entire trip cannot be completed in two months.

For this reason, Song Baike made sufficient preparations for this voyage, which was no less than the level of transoceanic training conducted by the missile destroyer at the beginning. Fortunately, most of Song Bai's crew members were excellent non-commissioned officers who followed him in the army at the beginning, and it was not too difficult to deal with such a scene.

After taking Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao to visit the cockpit, Song Bai took them to the most important position of the entire yacht, the power cabin, which is the heart of the yacht.

Three LM2500s from General Dynamics can provide more than 100,000 horsepower, allowing this 26,000-ton superyacht to ride the waves at speeds of more than 30 knots!

After visiting the ship's power, command, damage management, life-saving and other facilities, Xiao Feng followed Song Bai to the second floor of the yacht, and most of the facilities from here are for life.

Most of the cabins on the second floor are storage warehouses for various materials, including fresh water tanks, grain storage, and refrigerated freezers, which can store huge supplies for 100 people for 20 days, and in case of emergency, this scale can be doubled!

On the third floor, there is the crew's lounge, where every crew member and service member can get a double room with a shower, which is much better than the second-class cabins on many cruise ships. Xiao Feng has never been a stingy person, and when the yacht was being renovated, he also made a special proposal to improve the living environment of the crew, turning the crew lounge from a four-person room to a two-person room.

On the fourth floor, there is the yacht's galley, dining room and bar, where hosts and guests can enjoy a variety of cuisines from around the world, including a variety of specialties from the places where the ship sails.

Wal-Mart Group, Wharton Group, including Xinxin Logistics, will transport all kinds of fresh top ingredients to the yacht by helicopter as soon as possible, which requires huge financial resources and connections to support.

On the fourth floor, there are also entertainment facilities including a ballroom, a cinema, and a game hall, where people can enjoy the same treatment at sea as on land.

Above the fifth floor are the deluxe rooms and master rooms, which are completely decorated according to the standards of a five-star hotel, and all the furnishings and equipment are the best in the world. Of course, due to the space constraints of the yacht, these rooms are a little smaller, but they are more than enough to meet the needs of the guests.

There are also two heated swimming pools on the boat, as long as you think of lying under the blue sky and white clouds after swimming, you can lie under the blue sky and white clouds and savor the wine produced by Xiao's Winery, Xiao Feng's heart is hot.

The master bedroom is an absolute luxury, from the one-way glass ceiling to the whirlpool with a starry sky, to the wall-mounted 70-inch LED TV ceiling or to the dreamy lighting system.

Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, under the leadership of Song Bai and Schmidt, visited all corners of the yacht in a leisurely manner, and the details of the yacht that had been deeply remembered in their hearts gradually became a more intuitive impression.

In a sense, this yacht is a five-star hotel on the sea, where almost every need for luxury is met, where you don't have to think about anything, the rest is to enjoy life to the fullest.

At the end of the visit, Xiao Feng solemnly expressed his gratitude to Schmidt, believing that only the rigorous work attitude of the German nation can create such a flawless yacht.

Schmidt accepted Xiao Feng's praise a little reservedly, obviously Xiao Feng's compliment made him very face-saving, and this transaction was successfully completed!

As for the handover ceremony, it's just a passing scene! )
