Indulge in Life in America

(Thank you for your votes, I was pulled out to work overtime again, only this chapter is left, sorry!)

"Romain, please forgive me. I am not Mansour, a big tyrant in charge of trillions of dollars in assets. I should beg for food if the 200-meter yacht can't be kept for a few years."

Yang Cheng's words amused Mansour, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, the annual maintenance cost of this Yellow Sapphire is more than 25 million pounds. The cost of each trip to sea is calculated separately, and occasionally I will rent it out to earn money. Some fuel costs, or I will have a headache."

Roman also opened the chatterbox, "Mansour, you are not bad, you know I have a fleet of yachts, and the total annual maintenance cost exceeds 70 million pounds. Similarly, the cost of each trip to the sea is calculated separately. Recently I am planning to set up A yacht charter company rents out yachts to make money when I am not in use."

Yang Cheng opened her hands, "So, I will never be like you. If you order a super yacht with a sao bag over 150 meters, my requirement is advanced. The length and everything are secondary, and I am not that way. Multiple servants are enough for me and my family.

Besides, the upgrading of yachts is too fast, and it will be eliminated in a few years, which is not cost-effective. "

Mansour suddenly put down his cocktail glass, picked up the ipad and searched for something on it. After a long while, he handed it to Roman, and then introduced to Yang Cheng, "Speaking of this, I sent my men a while ago to address the global yacht charter market. After detailed research, the global yacht charter market was valued at US$35 billion in 2014. It is estimated that the global yacht charter market will reach US$51 billion in 2020. During the forecast period, the global yacht charter market will achieve a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%.

In terms of regions, Eastern Europe is expected to have the largest compound annual growth rate of 7.2%, and other regions will experience a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%. Emerging markets including the Middle East and Country Z are expected to continue to grow.

The yacht charter market in the Middle East has maintained an annual growth rate of approximately 5-10%. It is estimated that the number of licenses issued to various types of water yachts this year will almost double to more than 1,600 licenses issued in one year.

The Middle East is currently the most important superyacht market in the world. The Middle East has approximately 193 superyachts per capita, accounting for 12% of the global fleet of yachts over 40 meters in length. About one-third of the top 200 largest yachts are owned by Middle Easterners. "

Roman read a few data sheets, passed the ipad to Yang Cheng, turned around and asked, "So what do you mean?"

"I think this market needs to be integrated. Just now we also talked about the high maintenance cost of our super yachts. Even we are concealed. If we link our super yachts to the same yacht economic management company, not only can we To gain popularity, you can also provide customers with one-stop service and earn high rental commissions." Mansour talked about his plan.

The yacht brokerage management company in his mouth is responsible for the sales and procurement, leasing, technical consulting and management of the world's large luxury yachts.

Every customer who owns a super yacht has his own unique lifestyle and personal preferences. Yacht brokers need to provide services according to the characteristics of each customer. After all, the rich rarely hire a team dedicated to maintaining their own big toys, yachts I really have very little time for myself.

It's just that Yang Cheng didn't expect Mansour to be eyeing the yacht charter market. Judging from the results of his investigation, this is still an unnoticed place and very promising.

"So which company are you looking at?" Yang Cheng put down the ipad and asked Erlang with his legs up.

"BURGESS, currently the largest yacht management company in the world." Mansour leaned forward and took the ipad, called up the relevant information and handed it to Yang Cheng.

BURGESS, which was born in 1975, attaches great importance to details and customer needs. At the same time, it also pays more attention to the quality of its own team. It is like a comprehensive team of butlers with "super powers", as the only yacht brokerage company to win the Queen's Award , Its "power" cannot be underestimated.

The comprehensive service and high-quality team have allowed it to rise rapidly in the industry, even surpassing other pioneers who established earlier, and the company is the only company that provides customers with a full range of superyacht services through a team-based corporate operation. Companies and other companies still work alone in a family workshop. From Monaco to Miami, every major market in the world has their business outlets.

A more amazing set of data is presented in the information provided by Mansour. At present, in every three superyachts of 55 meters and above in the world, BURGESS participates in one of them. It can be said that BURGESS is sitting on With a market share of more than 30%!

In addition, Burgess manages to lease up to 80 yachts, most of which are over 30 meters, and the number of yachts over 60 meters available for lease is more than any other similar company.

Burgess has a lot of successful project management experience in the construction of super yachts with a total length of 40 meters to more than 140 meters. It has 12 offices and more than 160 employees worldwide. These advantages are unmatched by other companies.

BURGESS has become the most authoritative expert in the superyacht industry with its comprehensive yacht knowledge, industry insights, professional technology and quality services. Many celebrities include superyachts from Chuan~Pu and the world's largest yacht AZZAM belonging to the Prince of Saudi Arabia. , And the super yacht of the Prime Minister of Qatar, etc., are all managed by Burgess.

Turning to the last page, Yang Cheng found the information he cared about most. Mansour’s team valued BURGESS at 210 million U.S. dollars and gave a premium of 70 million U.S. dollars. In other words, Mansour’s elite team We believe that it is reasonable to acquire Burgess within US$280 million.

"Is the valuation so low?" Abu frowned. In fact, Yang Cheng also felt that the valuation was not quite right. After all, last year alone, Burgess sold a yacht with a total value of US$1.4 billion, and it owned its own yacht. The number of yachts exceeds 5, which are all high-quality fixed assets that can be included in the assessment, not to mention that the profit margins of selling yachts are quite large.

Mansour picked up the iPad and searched for it for a while, pointing to the screen and said, "This is the internal statement of Burgess that I got from a business consulting company. The debt is quite serious, and almost all the money earned is used to repay interest."

So it’s not hard to understand. Abu has no problem. He chose one from the cigar box on the coffee table, put it in front of his nose and sniffed, closed his eyes intoxicated and said, “Then Mansour, you want to Will we join in? How will the equity be distributed?"

"This acquisition is led by the Abu Dhabi Sovereign Fund. I will allocate 30% of the shares and board seats to the two." Mansour's white robe does not affect his aura in business negotiations.

Yang Cheng and Abu looked at each other and laughed, "Mansour, are you kidding us? Pulled us to the yacht and talked for a while, just to get us tens of millions of dollars in investment? I might as well share this share. Abramovich has reorganized a new yacht management company."

"Jason is right. If you are joking, then this joke is very funny." Abu teased.

Mansour spread his hands helplessly, "Abu Dhabi's sovereign fund only accounts for 20%, and the remaining share must be handed over to our brother federations, such as Dubai's sovereign fund and Saudi Arabia's sovereign fund."

"That's not all the same. Who doesn't know that when you are united in the Middle East, you are the same as your brothers. When you are not united, you can go to heaven." Yang Cheng is even more helpless. In his opinion, this project has nothing to do with him. The product of entertainment, once a disagreement occurs, the two votes between him and Abu have no effect.

Mansour looked serious and shook his head, "It's not the same, believe me, I'm on the side of the two."

Yang Cheng was not in the mood to listen to their Arab internal conflicts. The blood level was comparable to a Korean drama. After thinking about it and looking at Abu, he understood each other's intentions. This business can be done. Anyway, it only costs tens of millions of dollars. , In exchange for a seemingly bright future, worth a gamble, so he said, "Well, I invested in this project, and I will send someone to 4D Space to sign the contract. After the acquisition is successful, I will send someone to the board of directors."

Abu naturally made the same decision as Yang Cheng. After that, the three of them abandoned their official business and relaxed completely in this mobile castle.

And Yang Cheng also touched the light of Mansour, and experienced the unique style of Arab girls, not only the mature and attractive dong~ body of European and American women, but also the tenderness of Asian women, hidden under the robe all the year round. I have hardly seen a sunny skin, with white and tender skin that is different from other races, blending wild and shy, satisfying a man's dual nature.

In short, on this night on the yacht, Yang Cheng was very satisfied. However, 419 is wonderful. Yang Cheng is not going to put girls in the account. Arabs are paranoid. Regardless of men and women, he does not want to raise a time bomb. Beside.

. . .

The next day, Yang Cheng and Abu returned to London on the Yellow Sapphire helicopter. When they returned to their room, they had a guilty conscience at Shang Susu’s small eyes. He also said where this feeling came from. No, anyway, Susu's pitiful and moving big eyes, like Buddha's light, made Yang Cheng slowly feel guilty.

"Well~ Did you sleep well last night?" Unable to bear the embarrassment of the atmosphere, Yang Cheng took the initiative to please.

Maybe it's just getting up, Susu pouting her mouth with her face upright, holding her scented shoulders cutely, and her face with puff puffs is equally tempting, "No!"

Yang Cheng's little heart chuckled, and he touched her nose in a whisper, "Then I will sleep with you for a while? By coincidence, I didn't sleep well."

A fool knows why he didn't sleep, Susu snorted slightly, "No, Mr. Zheng came to you, and asked him to tell him when you came back."

Yang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a sneer smile, thinking that this guy couldn't help it? This concentration is too bad.

Now that there is business, the little love between the two of them has come to an end for the time being, and will continue another day, taking a savage peck on the charming blushing cheek, and asking her for the civilization of Mandarin Oriental. For the exquisite breakfast, Yang Cheng walked out of the room to the next door.

I stopped for a while outside the door of the suite next door, mainly because I wanted to hear if there was any weird noise inside, but I didn't hear anything. How could the top suite of a super five-star hotel have poor sound insulation?

Quite disappointed, he raised his hand and rang the doorbell. After a while, Zheng Jiaxuan opened the door. When he saw that the person was Yang Cheng, there was no dissatisfaction in his tone, at least Yang Cheng did not hear it.

"Morning, are you back?"

With a casual greeting to an old friend, Yang Cheng suddenly felt whether he was nervous.

I deleted thoughts that I shouldn't have in my mind, and asked, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want to talk while eating?"

"Also."

In fact, Yang Cheng had breakfast on the yacht, but she asked casually out of etiquette, but she didn't eat it.

When he came to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, Yang Cheng only asked for a cup of hot milk and did not take food.

"Aren't you going to eat it?" Zheng Jiaxuan picked a few common breakfasts and returned to his seat, asking in surprise.

"I have an uncomfortable appetite. Drink some milk to raise it." Of course, Yang Cheng couldn't say that he had eaten it. She made up an excuse to prevaricate and went back, and then asked, "I heard Susu said that Brother Zheng has something to do with me?"

Zheng Jiaxuan smiled, and elegantly cut the breakfast bread and said, "The thing is still that thing, I'm afraid that you will forget Brother Yang, I want to remind you."

Yang Cheng laughed, "I went out these days for Brother Zheng's business. I have already told Prince William ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ If you have nothing else, we can arrange a meeting today."

"That's good, is it arranged for the evening? Should I prepare some gifts?" Zheng Jiaxuan asked indifferently.

"Well, let's arrange it until the evening. As for gifts, I think Brother Zheng might as well donate some money to Princess Diana's charity foundation. This is more valuable than any gift." Yang Cheng's eyelids drooped slightly, and he gave it'kindly'. Suggest.

"That's a good idea, I listen to you." Zheng Jiaxuan followed goodness and seemed to regard Yang Cheng as the backbone of what he said. Such an attitude made Yang Cheng embarrassed to cheat him, but his heart was like a mirror. This guy is definitely a smiling tiger. Is it a hypocrite who dared not make a rash assertion, but he is definitely not a good bird. It can be seen from the fact that he has identified Yang Cheng's weakness twice in succession and'forced' Yang Cheng to help him.

I won’t mention how much resentment Yang Cheng has in his heart. What I ate for this breakfast is called Harmony. When I finished drinking the milk in the glass, I took the lead to say goodbye, “Then I will see you in the evening, Brother Zheng, and I will notify you of the meeting place by text message.”

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Shaking hands with Zheng Jiaxuan and bidding farewell, Yang Cheng walked directly out of the hotel and asked Andrew to drive him to find William. He wanted to make sure that everything was foolproof, and he didn't know how William was talking to that Alex Bilder.

Twenty minutes later, at Kensington Palace, Yang Cheng and William were sitting in the conservatory garden of Kensington Palace, enjoying a cup of fragrant tea, and conspiring, "William, what's going on with you? I will tell the family name in the evening. Meet Zheng."

William smiled dryly, "It's not that easy, that's all of Bilder's wealth. It will take time to convince him."

Yang Cheng frowned slightly, "So the meeting was delayed?"

William hesitated, "No, I have the confidence to convince Bilder."
