Chapter 48 High Speed ​​Yachting

AB?

Shen Rui was taken aback for a moment. As a marine lover, he certainly knew the name of AB. This is like when people mention luxury sports cars, they can't help but think of Ferrari. AB company is also located in Italy, and it is the Ferrari company in the yachting world!
Speaking of the history of the Italian AB company is actually not long, it was founded in 1992, but in the short history of the AB company, it has made history time and time again.

All the yachts produced by this maverick yacht company use expensive water jet propulsion systems, and their cruising speeds exceed fifty knots!
If you have a little understanding of ships, you will understand how amazing the cruising speed of [-] knots is. You must know that the resistance faced by ships in the sea is not comparable to that on land. In addition, the weight of the ship is tens of tons, so If you want a yacht to run at a relatively high speed, it is absolutely impossible to do it without advanced technology.

And AB Company is a representative of the use of top technology in the yacht manufacturing process, advanced composite materials, unique synthetic resins, as for anti-vibration, AB Company is good at air-derived shaping technology.

All in all, AB Company is not only a super sports car company in the yachting industry, but also a high-tech company, producing yachts that are unique in the world.

In the direction Ye Wuhen pointed, a yacht with a unique shape was really moored. The streamlined structure made this yacht look more dynamic than other yachts of the same level, and there were two middle-aged men standing on board.

Shen Rui and Ye Wuhen came to the yacht one after the other, and the two people on the boat got off automatically. It turned out that Ye Wuhen had already contacted him on the way. One of them was a representative of the yacht agency company, and the other is a lawyer.

Generally speaking, few owners of such expensive luxury yachts will sell them by themselves. They are all entrusted to agents, who negotiate prices and details with customers. The owner does not need to come forward, just wait to collect the money.

The Hong Kong Yacht Club is a long-established club on Hong Kong Island, and the agency itself is a part of the club, so they came so quickly.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Ye Wuhen said with a smile: "I have roughly understood the characteristics and performance of this ship. You just need to introduce the situation to my friend."

The representative of the agency company was a little surprised when he saw that Shen Rui and Ye Wuhen were both young.

Nowadays, Hong Kong people never dare to look down on guests from the mainland. Facts have long proved how heroic mainland local tyrants are. News of mainland tourists spending a lot of money is seen in newspapers every day, and many mainland local tyrants have profound knowledge. Unfathomable background.

The agent obviously mistook Ye Wuhen and Shen Rui for being members of some wealthy inland families, and hurriedly invited them to the yacht and arranged for the waiter to serve some snacks and drinks.

"This boat was originally owned by a big family in the Hong Kong government. The boat is only five years old. When I bought it, the tax and modification costs were equivalent to RMB 500 million."

"The two of you can clearly see that this boat has been maintained by dedicated personnel, and the condition of the boat is impeccable. It is a grievance to say that it is 210% new. After all, the engine has only been running at [-] for three hours."

Shen Rui nodded. The running time of an engine is one of the important criteria for testing the newness of a ship. A marine engine is not as expensive as a car engine. It needs to be maintained every [-] hours and repaired every [-] hours. The cost of high prices.

"The model of this ship is called AB68, which means 68 feet in length, converted to metric units of 24 meters, width of [-] meters, dead weight of [-] tons, and waterline of [-] meter."

"The hull is made of three major synthetic materials, namely epoxy resin, Kevlar, and high-strength carbon fiber. It is one of AB's strongest ships to date."

Shen Rui was taken aback again. Kevlar is a very tough material. It was originally used to make bulletproof vests, but it was actually used on the hull by AB Company?It seems that the ship is indeed very strong.

"What about the power system? I remember that the yachts of AB Company are capable of high-speed cruising, but the cruising distance is generally not too far. This is its shortcoming." Shen Rui asked anxiously.

The agent laughed, "The boss is indeed an expert. AB company is committed to producing the fastest yachts. The battery life is indeed not ideal, but please rest assured that this boat is a customized model. Before leaving the factory, it will follow the original owner's requirements , reconfigured the powertrain."

"Originally, the engines on this ship were two 550-cylinder diesel engines produced by the German company MAN, each with [-] horsepower. They were replaced with two [-]-horsepower MTU diesel engines, which are more powerful."

"Rolls-Royce's KAMEWA water spray system remains unchanged. The original fuel tank was [-] liters, and it was replaced with the current [-]-liter model, just to increase battery life."

"Unfortunately, due to the use of large fuel tanks and more powerful engines, the boat originally had one master bedroom and three annex bedrooms, but now there is one less, leaving only one master bedroom and two annex bedrooms. "

"What does it matter!" Shen Rui blurted out: "Tell me what is the maximum speed and cruising speed of this ship now? What is the cruising distance?"

He didn't buy a boat for fun, but to find treasures in the sea. A faster boat with a longer range can meet his requirements. As for comfort, this is a tens of millions of super luxury yachts. Shen Rui's new home is still luxurious.

The agent looked at the information in his hand and said with a smile: "The current maximum speed of this ship is 58 knots and the cruising speed is 53 knots. At the cruising speed, it can continuously travel [-] nautical miles, which is two thousand kilometers. distance."

Cruise 53 nautical miles at a speed of [-] knots! ?

Shen Rui is very satisfied with this number. After all, this time he only went to the South China Sea. There are many places around where he can park and refuel. A battery life of [-] nautical miles is enough.

However, if you do a serious conversion, you will find that the fuel consumption of this ship per 180 nautical miles has reached an astonishing 10 liters!It consumes nearly [-] liters of diesel for every nautical mile. It really is a super oil tiger, and it costs [-] yuan to refuel just once when going to sea.

Speaking of which, yachts are not only expensive, but also expensive to depreciate.

The Italian-made AB800 with a asking price of 68 million yuan was mentioned by Shen Rui as 3000 to [-] million yuan. At this time, the agent was unwilling to lower the price. I guess this is their bottom line.

"3000 and two million?" Shen Rui thought for a moment, then made a decision: "Okay, I'll buy this ship!"

The agent was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the lawyer to take out the blank documents that had been prepared, and let Shen Rui have a look after filling them out.

There is no problem with the left and right, so I swipe the card to pay.

Shen Rui feels that he has been playing more and more recently. When he bought a boat for 3000 and 2000 million yuan, his heart didn’t beat wildly. I think that when he was in school, Shen Rui went to the mall to buy a mobile phone for [-] yuan, and his heart beat faster with excitement. Times have changed. , He is really incomparable to the past.

"Mr. Shen, congratulations, you are now the owner of this ship. According to the rules, you should give your ship a new name, and write it on both sides and behind the string, so that the Maritime Safety Administration can inspect it." The business is done. Yes, the agent was also very happy, and said to Shen Rui with a smile.

"The name of the ship?" Shen Rui was slightly taken aback, and touched his chin with his right hand, "Let's call it the Razor."
