Chapter 1709 Large Yacht (Part 2)
One of the largest yachts in the world, and a super yacht that is almost 70% larger than the second place, why not build it?
Isn't it four or five billion yuan? Not enough for half of Zhengyifang Technology's annual R&D investment. To put it bluntly, do you need to worry about such a small amount of money? Even without Guo Tailai's own action, Zhengyifang Technology can survive, let alone the boss himself.
Will Guo Tailai make up his mind to make it? Mi Feifei was not worried at all. how fresh Guo Tailai personally approved the project, is it just to ask for a design drawing?
All the way to the design company, all senior staff of the design company came out to greet him. I haven't seen the boss for almost half a year, but seeing the boss now is really kind. Of course, everyone knows that the boss's year-end bonus before the Spring Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is very generous, but this is not the main reason. The main reason is that the boss is unanimously loved by everyone!
After a brief chat with several high-level executives, Guo Tailai and Mi Feifei went straight to the yacht project team to listen to the project team's report.
Speaking of which, this yacht design is actually not a particularly confidential project. You must know that there are some experts from other countries in the company. Build the largest yacht in the world.
The news spread quickly, and many people abroad also knew about it. But no one thinks there is any problem. Thanks to the big yacht dispute between Madman Larry and Paul last year, it is not a problem for a rich man like Guo Tailai to want to have a leg on the super yacht. Isn’t it just a very valuable big toy? ? As long as it is not for military use, Guo Tailai can play whatever he wants.
However, unlike Larry and Paul, Guo Tailai himself is a master of manufacture and a master of design. What he likes most is to design by himself, rather than let the shipyard complete the design and manufacture.
But in any case, this is a big toy, a tool for the rich to have fun. Therefore, even knowing Guo Tailai's design goal, some people abroad were still relieved, and even happily helped Guo Tailai conceal some news, such as the news that this will be the largest yacht in the world. Everyone is looking forward to the day when Guo Tailai's yacht design will be released. I wonder what Madman Larry will think about a yacht of Guo Tailai's size, and will he redesign the size of the unfinished yacht?
The project team reported very carefully. Most importantly, they also built a scaled-down model of the yacht and put it on the conference table. Around this model that can be disassembled to see the internal structure, they submitted item by item to Bosses report on their work these days.
The appearance and size are based on the design given by the boss, with a length of 229 meters, but because a large amount of super aluminum and carbon fiber are used for construction, the total displacement is only 15,000 tons. The weight of a ship of the same size using ordinary materials has long exceeded 20,000 tons.
The engine adopts a combination of gas turbine and diesel engine. The gas turbine uses the latest product of Rolls-Royce MT30, with a single power of 36 megawatts and a total power of nearly 120,000 horsepower. This amazing power allows such a huge yacht to run at more than 30 Steady sailing at a speed of two knots. This would mean that the ship would not only be the largest yacht in the world, but also the fastest of its kind.
Well, this is what Guo Tailai asked for at the beginning. Anyway, everyone can see that the boss likes to pursue extreme speed, even if it is such a big yacht, he still wants to be number one in the world.
The hull completely abandons the white cream cake-like design of traditional yachts. While the appearance is very novel, it is also very in line with hydrodynamics and can adapt to high-speed sailing. At the same time, it can maintain a super stable and comfortable hull at high speed or at a standstill. Sex greatly increased.
The yacht is designed as a "floating entertainment center" with a large area of open space, including various entertainment venues, theaters, shopping malls, restaurants and exhibition halls. From the very beginning of the design, Guo Tailai planned to use this yacht as his own private holiday and as a holiday yacht open to VIP customers, and he can also provide services on the yacht, all of which are aimed at the most comfortable and luxurious goals.
The hull frame structure uses strong special steel and titanium alloy, so there is no need to worry about safety. The external super aluminum material is the latest super aluminum material developed by Zhengyifang Technology. It has high strength, corrosion resistance and convenient processing. It is simply the best choice for shipbuilding. Similarly, the carbon fiber will also use the latest T700 grade carbon fiber developed by Zhengyifang Technology. It just so happens that the carbon fiber manufacturing plant jointly established by the Eastern Group Western Group and Baoli Group has also started construction and is about to receive the first order.
The yacht is designed to carry 50 guests and 100 crew members at a comfortable speed of 25 knots. If you cooperate with Guo Tailai's super yacht the world is not enough, together with several luxury submarines converted into individual guest rooms to form a fleet, if you want to live on the sea surface, you can live on the sea surface, and if you want to live on the seabed, you can live on the sea floor. The resort center plus the underwater sightseeing center! Of course, there must be a helipad on the yacht, and Guo Tailai also has luxury helicopter products, which can be picked up and dropped off at any time.
"Right now, there are only two main issues that need to be considered." After the report, the project director was very happy to see the boss nodding his head in satisfaction, and said while the iron was hot.
"Which two?" Mi Feifei asked directly.
"First, the design of this yacht uses a lot of new materials and technologies, and the construction is very difficult." The project director from Ukraine looked at the boss and said bravely: "And the interior decoration is very luxurious, and the supporting facilities It is very expensive, so the cost of the entire ship will be very...amazing!"
"Then how high is the preliminary estimate of the cost?" Guo Tailai and Mi Feifei were mentally prepared for this on the way here. If it's just a matter of cost, it may not be a big problem. You know, there are still hundreds of tons of gold in the vault under the Guo Tailai Treasure Ship Hotel that cannot be spent.
"Very expensive!" After the project manager reiterated the word "very expensive" again, he continued to say the cost figure: "According to our estimation, it may be more expensive than the sum of the Rising Sun and Octopus currently under construction. The estimated cost is estimated to be between $800 million and $900 million."
The project director is a Ukrainian. Although he knows that the boss is rich, he also knows that the boss is not that rich. At least on the Forbes list, the boss's net worth is less than a billion dollars. The cost of a yacht is 800 million to 900 million, and the project manager also feels regretful. I am afraid that this yacht will only be a design drawing for a long time.
"The problem of money is easy to solve." Guo Tailai smiled without explaining, and then asked, "What about the second question?"
