In less than three minutes, a group of people hurried out of the elevator opposite, led by a chubby white man in his fifties, and Podolsky followed him, whispering something to him as he went.

Seeing Yang Jing and his party standing in the hall of the headquarters building and looking around, this white man in his fifties immediately greeted him with a smile, stretched out his hands to hold Yang Jing's hand tightly, and said in English that was not fluent: "Mr. Yang, right? I am Robert Schultz, the chief operating officer of the Lerssen Group, and I am very happy for you to visit the Lerssen Group. I'm sorry because there's a big client in the company today, and Mr. Müller is going to accompany him, but I've called him before I came, and I think he'll be coming soon. ”

Yang Jing shook the hand of the Leshun COO and shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "Mr. Schultz, I am really embarrassed to trouble you to come over to receive me in person." It didn't affect your work, did it?"

Schultz shook his head with a smile and said, "Where can it be? Since you have come to the group headquarters, receiving you is the most important job of the group headquarters." I was on the phone with Michael just now, and he heard that you were here and that he was flying in from Italy right away. ”

Yang Jing shook his head speechlessly, and was about to say something, when his satellite phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw who it was not Michael Bulko?

"Hey, Michael, I'm talking to Mr. Schultz right now, I heard Mr. Schultz say you're coming over?"

"Yes Boss, I'm on my way to Milan Airport, and if it goes well, I'll be able to see you and Madame in two hours. ”

"Ahem, I said what are you running away all the way to? I'm not without anyone to take care of me here, why are you still here? I said Michael, if you don't have anything particularly important, you don't have to come, don't forget, I'm on my honeymoon right now." ”

"Boss, it's not just me who wants to meet you, but Joseph is also by my side. The two of us have just completed a collaboration with UniCredit Italy, and Joseph would like to report back to you. There was a slight pause on the other side of the phone, and then Joseph's voice rang out: "Boss, I just happened to have nothing to do here, so I planned to fly over to meet you." You and your wife have been away for nearly a month, and there are some things I would like to hear from you. ”

Yang Jing shook his head speechlessly again, "I said you two, come over if you want, but it's best not to talk about work, I'm on my honeymoon now, don't talk about work......"

Yang Jing knows that UniCredit is the sixth largest company in Italy, but although the company's revenue is good, it has been in a serious loss situation in recent years, especially in 2017, the company lost more than 100 billion US dollars in one year, but I don't know how Joseph is interested in this company.

But even if he didn't know, Yang Jing didn't bother to ask. Even if the Italian Union Credit was bought as a whole, it would not alarm Yang Jing, and with Joseph Hunt here, it would be enough for him to deal with these things.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Jing turned his head and found that Schultz's demeanor was more respectful.

This can't be helped, if you really count it, since the 80s of the last century, the evil dragon fund has begun to lay out in Europe, including the acquisition of shares of Europe's top multinational groups. Later, when the former Soviet Union collapsed, under the instruction of Yang Jing, the Evil Dragon Fund established Atlantic Capital, which was controlled by Niam Wilson, and was mainly responsible for investment and speculative projects in Europe.

Later, Joseph Hunt succeeded Niamh as the second generation head of Atlantic Capital, and he has done better in Europe over the years.

However, because of the purpose of not being exposed, Atlantic Capital was unknown throughout Europe. But with Yang Jing's announcement that the subsidiaries of the Evil Dragon Fund have begun to lift the ban, the fame of these subsidiaries with super power in Europe and the United States began to spread rapidly in Europe and the United States.

Many giants in Europe and the United States suddenly discovered that it was this Atlantic capital standing behind their largest shareholding institution!

So, even in just a few months, people like Joseph, Michael, Frank Abbas, and Harrison Johnson immediately became international giants.

The capital in their hands is too huge, and it used to be hidden, covered up with such and such puppets, so outsiders don't know. And now that the ban has been lifted, once giants of this size like Pacific Capital and KY Investment Fund surface, as long as someone with a heart makes a little inquiry, they can know how terrifying the capital controlled by these giants is.

Like Lürssen, the company is arguably the world's largest superyacht builder, and the shareholder structure behind it is complex. However, Lürssen's largest shareholder is Atlantic Capital, which holds more than 20% of the superyacht manufacturer's shares, making it the largest shareholder of Lürssen.

And the big boss of Atlantic Capital, that is, Joseph Hunter, is now an absolute top tycoon-level figure in Europe, but no one expected that such a top-level tycoon-level figure would also work for others. And the bigger boss standing behind Joseph Hunt turned out to be the inconspicuous-looking Chinese young man in front of him.

If it weren't for Michael's cautious instructions when he called Michael just now, saying that he must treat his boss well, that is, the young man, where would Schultz have thought that the real tycoon was standing in front of him.

And the phone call that the young man picked up just now proves this.

In other words, the young man in front of him is the biggest shareholder of Leshun! the kind of real big man who has the power to convene the board of directors and decide whether the company's top management will stay or not.

Yang Jing didn't want to poke it here, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take us to the shipyard to see, I want to see what kind of superyacht Michael guy has customized for me now." ”

Yang Jing's words were equivalent to an order, and Schultz followed very neatly and took the initiative to act as a guide. The group of people behind him are probably Leshun's executives, and they can only follow from a distance at this time.

More than a dozen battery cars have been parked outside the door. Battery cars for transportation in German companies are a very common thing, no pollution and low energy consumption, which is very much in line with the low emission goals pursued by the Germans.

Yang Jing They came from the north when they came, so they only saw the headquarters building of Leshun, and did not see the shipyard behind the headquarters building of Leshun.

The battery car walked on the road for a short while, and after bypassing the Leshun headquarters building, Yang Jing and the others saw the appearance of the shipyard, and the most eye-catching were naturally the two tallest buildings.

As if noticing Yang Jing's gaze, Schultz explained in a low voice: "Mr. Yang, this is our Leshun No. 1 shipyard, do you see the two largest buildings? These are the two largest docks in our No. 1 shipyard, both of which are 20,000-ton docks, one dock is a dry dock built on land, and the other is a floating dock built on the Weser River. ”

After a pause, Schultz added: "After a while, on the other side of the dock, across the Weser you will see our second shipyard in Lemwede, which is on the south bank of the Weser and is mainly responsible for the construction of smaller superyachts. There are many docks over there, but most of them are docks of less than 10,000 tons. ”

As he spoke, the battery car came to the core area of the shipyard, where the two docks are located.

One of the two docks is a dry dock built on land, with blue-white walls, the length is about 200 meters, the width should be less than 40 meters, and the height is about 30 meters. The other floating dock was built in the Weser River, about the size of this dry dock.

The exits of these two docks are close to each other, and the distance between them is more than 10 meters, so these two docks are actually built at a 45-degree angle.

However, it is not the two docks that attract the most attention, but the imposing-looking superyacht docked on the west side of the dock.

It was a pure white superyacht, quietly docked at the edge of the dock, supposed to be undergoing a complete overhaul.

Seeing that Yang Jing and his group were attracted by the white superyacht, Schultz explained: "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, this yacht is built by our Lürssen for the ruler of Oman after the new century, that is, Qaboos bin Al Said Sultan, this superyacht was delivered in 2007, even though it has been 13 years, but this yacht is still the fourth largest superyacht in the world, and we are proud of Lürssen." ”

"Is this yacht here for maintenance now?" asked Gege curiously.

"Yes, dear madam, a superyacht of this kind of oversized is almost as regular as a warship, and needs to be maintained regularly every year. This Al Said is here for maintenance, and this yacht comes for maintenance every year. ”

Gege nodded and didn't speak again. On the way here, Gege also took the time to inquire about the cost of this superyacht, and the high cost made her a little smacked.

This kind of customized superyacht does look beautiful, but the cost is sky-high, whether it is the construction cost, the use cost or the maintenance cost, it is simply not affordable for the average rich man.

Superyachts are called superyachts because they are the kind of super-expensive toys that only the super-rich can afford. This super-expensive toy barely appreciates in value, and costs 10% of the superyacht's value each year on crew salaries, fuel, dock docking services and maintenance.

The total value of the world's 25 most valuable superyachts is now more than $7.5 billion. However, this huge toy costs a lot of money and loses money if it is resold, so only a very small number of people on the planet can afford to play with it.
