"Soon. It will be launched next month, and it will sail back to Moscow. You still need to settle the rest yourself." Feng Yu sighed. He does not understand why Kirilenko wanted to build this yacht. Kirilenko always likes to build bigger yachts.
"It's fine. I can wait. Get someone to help me keep an eye on it."
Kirilenko told Feng Yu that it is only a yacht.
Many countries in the world can build yachts, and Hua Xia is not one of them. Of course, Russia is also not one of them.
Although Russia is near the sea, it is not suitable for yachts. But Kirilenko does not only live in Russia. He has mansions in many countries around the world.
Kirilenko had seen many tycoons getting their own yachts, especially when they visit Hong Kong. Li Zekai, Fu Guangzheng, Fu Guangwei, He Laosan, etc. all own yachts, and this made him unhappy.
What's the point of sitting on someone else's yacht? That Paul Allen owns the world's most luxurious private yacht. Kirilenko is pissed.
That person who is not as rich as me can buy such a big yacht. Why can't I buy one?
Since you are not selling it, I will get someone to customize it!
Kirilenko wants a yacht of more than 150 meters. Paul Allen owns the world's most luxurious private yacht, which is 126 meters. Kirilenko must be bigger than that yacht, and no one can exceed it in a short time.
Kirilenko wants all the advanced facilities on the yacht. Kirilenko not only wants to be luxurious, but also wants safety.
What is safety? Normal radar? That was just the standard. What he wanted was the best.
Kirilenko wants a military radar, satellite, missile defense system, close range weapon identification system, and the exterior must be able to defend against some conventional weapons. All the glass must be bulletproof, and he even wants to install some weapons on the yacht.
Not only did he need a small boat from an ordinary luxury yacht, but he also needed a small submarine. On the yacht, there were also places for helicopters to park, at least three, because there were two parking spaces on Paul Allen's yacht.
This was not a yacht. Feng Yu felt that this guy wanted to build a warship!
Most of the companies in the world that have the ability to build big ships are concentrated in East Asia. Japan, South Korea, and Hua Xia are the leaders among them. But their yachts are not as good, and they are more suitable to build large cargo ships or passenger ships.
Feng Yu had bought a few small yacht companies and built a factory in Hua Xia. He said that he wanted to support Feng Yu and wanted to customize a yacht from Feng Yu.
Originally, Feng Yu said that it was just a yacht. If Kirilenko wanted one, he would just give him one. Even if it was luxurious, tens of millions of USD should be enough. It would not exceed 100 million USD.
To others, it was a huge sum of money, but to the two of them, it was nothing.
But when he finished his request, Feng Yu was dumbfounded. With Kirilenko's request, his yacht company might not be able to build it. The size of the yacht should be based on the size of a cruise ship.
Feng Yu had only bought some small yacht companies. He wanted to buy their engineers and technologies. He wanted to let Hua Xia's people buy the yachts built by Hua Xia in the future.
For ordinary yachts, 20 to 30 meters is considered a big yacht. Even if the yachts were more luxurious, the cost would not be low.
But compared to this yacht that Kirilenko wanted, it was just a small yacht. Feng Yu had gotten someone to estimate the cost of this yacht. It should be more than 300 million USD, and this was only the initial cost!
Feng Yu did not understand why Kirilenko wanted to compete with Kirilenko. Who was more luxurious and enjoyable than him? But how many people would feel happy with such a big yacht? Why did Kirilenko want to have 3 parking spaces? Feng Yu felt that one parking space was enough. It would be a waste to have more parking spaces.
Also, Feng Yu felt he should stay away from those military-controlled facilities. Kirilenko might have a high status in Hua Xia, but that's because he had never interacted with those in the military and had never interfered with the local government. If he got too close to those people, the higher-ups will be wary of him.
What if the higher-ups felt that Feng Yu was already the World's Richest Man and wanted to get a higher status?
But Feng Yu knew he was not suited to be a politician. Even if someone asked him to be a politician, he is not willing to be one. It's better to be a tycoon. He does not need to worry about so many things, and he can bring everyone to make money happily.
So, Feng Yu told Kirilenko that he can handle bulletproof glass and decks. Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group can manufacture bulletproof cars. Even if it is not as good, this technology is not a secret, and they can order from other state-owned shipyards.
But Feng Yu cannot help with military radars and defense systems. Although Lenovo Group had worked with the higher-ups to develop these technologies, it is a separate department, and Feng Yu had never been there.
It's not easy to get into that department, and they must go through a background check. Also, Lenovo Kingsoft and Lenovo's engineers are only in charge of the non-core departments. They are not involved in the core departments.
Feng Yu told Kirilenko that Russia is also good in this area. Why don't we give you the blueprints and let them take a look at it and make some changes before finalizing the design? We will build the framework and drive it back to Russia. After that, you can get someone to install the electronic equipment, weapons, etc.
China is different from Europe and the US. Everything related to the military is very sensitive, unlike Europe and the US. Most of the arms companies are private enterprises.
Kirilenko expressed his understanding and got the Russian engineers and designers to do some research. After that, they came up with the final design and handed it to Feng Yu's shipyard.
The construction had started at the start of the year, and it's been almost three months. Why are they still not done?
The problem is this is not a standard yacht, and it's troublesome to produce it in many places. The speed of the yacht cannot be fast. Although Feng Yu had asked his men to let other large shipyards in China, such as the small submarine and the outer shell, it takes some time to finish.
Feng Yu had emphasized several times to pay attention to the quality. Feng Yu does not want any flaws in the quality.
Of course, after this yacht is built, Feng Yu's yacht company will be able to grow. The world's most luxurious private yacht is built by Feng Yu's yacht company, and everyone will trust Feng Yu's yacht company. In the future, Feng Yu's yacht company will get more orders.
Today, Kirilenko urged Feng Yu again, and he went to the shipyard to have a look. At the same time, he also wants to discuss other projects with the shipyard.
