Chapter 827 Against the Current

As an important educational and cultural center in Russia, Omsk has many museums, theaters, music museums and educational institutions. Among its many museums, the State History Museum, Dostoevsky Literature Museum, the Frubel Museum, and the Military Museum are relatively famous.

At the same time, the city also has the Omsk Grand Theater, Opera House, Theater, Puppet Theater, Youth Theater; the orchestras include the Omsk Russian Ethnic Choir, Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra; the Pushkin Library is the most famous library in Omsk and one of the largest collections of books in the Siberian region.

Currently, Omsk preserves several famous historical buildings from the 19th century to the beginning of the century, such as the Nikolai-Cossack Church, the Governor's Office, the Military School Building, the Russian Hotel, the Judicial Office Building, the Omsk Railway Bureau, etc., which are full of historical charm and style.

However, these places are nothing to Yang Jing, who is knowledgeable. After wandering around the city for two days, he no longer has any interest. One is that he has seen many such buildings and scenic spots, and the other is that he enters Omsk in October, and the weather is already unbearable.

If it were in China, early October is the golden autumn season, and it would be the most comfortable to be lukewarm or hot. But here, the temperature at night has dropped to below zero, and the temperature during the day is only ten degrees, which is unbearable.

The most important thing is that after these two days of travel, Chris and the others did not find anyone monitoring or tracking their group, which made Yang Jing completely relieved.

It seems that Mr. Kubrsky doesn't dare to do anything to him for the time being. After all, the oil tycoon put his words there. If this guy dares to continue to do anything unfavorable to him, the oil tycoon may not be able to spare him.

So, after two days of traveling, Yang Jing found Alecperov.

"Hey, Albert, how are you playing here?" Alec Perov was as enthusiastic as ever.

"I have to say that this is a very beautiful city. If the temperature is higher, I really want to continue to visit here for a while."

"Haha, I have to say that you Chinese have a worse ability to endure cold than our fighting nation." Alec Perov made a joke, "Why, are you going to see me this time to say goodbye?"

Yang Jing shrugged, "I have this plan, but the two days of traveling here have made my excitement aroused, especially the Ertzis River, which is a river that originated from our China. I remember that during the Qing Dynasty, I was still navigating with you Russia, but I don't know if it is still navigating now."

Alec Perov shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this channel has been closed since the relationship between China and the Soviet Union in the 1960s. However, several countries are preparing to discuss reopening this channel, but I don't know when to negotiate. Why, I want to go upstream along the Ertzis River to enjoy the scenery? Although China has not yet been navigated with Russia or Kazakhstan, if you take a boat here, you can go upstream and go straight to Kazakhstan. This section of the scenery is still very good..."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Wajit, I have to say that your proposal is really great. If you don't say it, I haven't thought of it yet. Since you said that, I'm really moved."

Alec Perov nodded and said, "If you want to take a boat trip, I can arrange a luxury yacht for you. My Siberian Endeavor is still docked at the Yacht Club Pier on the banks of the Ertise River. If you like, I can lend you this yacht."

"That's great, Wajit, thank you very much for your generosity." Yang Jing sincerely expressed his gratitude.

"Haha, you don't have to thank me. I just came here from the Arctic Ocean this summer on this yacht. I had been pounding on the boat for more than twenty days, and I almost couldn't stand this old bone. So I didn't start her after the yacht was maintained here. Now you are here, you can just let her move. Although the Ertzis River is not as wide as the Arctic Ocean, it's better than letting her stay in the yacht marina."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

"Then you can just go directly to the yacht marina of Greenland Island Sports Center tomorrow. I'll call there later to get them ready. Oh, by the way, how many bodyguards are there?"

“Twelve.”

This number made the oil tycoon stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect there would be so many bodyguards around you. My Siberian Endeavour cabin can only accommodate ten guests. By the way, does your bodyguard have any boats?"

"They are all retired special forces, and several of them can drive such superyachts."

"Then it's OK. I'll replace two crew members by then so you can live. Let your bodyguards drive the boat, and then let them stay in the driver's cabin."

Yang Jing smiled and nodded to express his gratitude, but still declined his kindness. After all, Chris and the others have to take turns on duty, and the yacht's cabin will definitely allow them to take turns to sleep.

Early the next morning, a group of thirteen people drove to the Greenland Island Sports Center on the east bank of the Ertzis River. The Ertzis River formed a river berth in this area. The locals built a yacht marina in this berth, allowing the rich to dock their yachts here.

Before I could get on the dock, I saw the superyacht "Siberian Endeavor" that stood out from afar.

In terms of length, this yacht can only barely enter the ranks of superyachts. After all, it is only 147 feet long, which is about 45 meters. Compared with those superyachts that are often hundreds of meters long, she can only be regarded as a little sister.

However, this yacht carefully built by the Royal Van Rent shipyard of the Netherlands is extremely luxurious.

This yacht is actually an improved version of the F45 series yacht. Although the length is the same as the F45, it is far beyond the F45 series yacht in other aspects.

Only when Yang Jing boarded the yacht under the guidance of the reception staff could he truly feel the luxury of the yacht.

The yacht is more than one-third smaller than the 246-foot superyacht leased from Australian mining tycoon Andrew Fordris when he went to PNG last year, but this "little sister" is not inferior to the Australian style ship in other aspects.

The yacht has three floors in total, with two floors above the deck, and there is also a small helipad on the deck of the highest level, which is equipped with the latest Robinson R66 five-seater light helicopter.

As for the interior decoration, let alone the oil tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars will definitely not be stingy with his own yacht. Although the size of this yacht is a little smaller, the interior decoration is definitely not worse than other superyachts.

Because this superyacht has been modified, the speed is much faster than the original F45 series yacht. The maximum speed of the F45 series yacht was only 14.5 knots, but after modification, this Siberian Endeavour can easily achieve a maximum speed of 22 knots.

This speed is not even suitable for navigating in the inland rivers. Only on the sea can this beautiful "little sister" be soaring at a very fast speed.

In addition to the owner's exclusive cabin, the yacht is equipped with four double suites, which can only be used by ten guests at most. At first, Alec Perov planned to go down to two drivers and let Chris and the others drive the boat, but Yang Jing did not do so.

Not to mention that Chris and the others would take turns on duty on the boat, even if they were not on duty, they would slept with a little squeeze or hit the floor.

In this way, the ship was controlled by Alec Perov's private captain Victor Ivanlai.

The supplies on the ship had already been replenished, and they were waiting for the arrival of Yang Jing and his group.

Captain Ivan was also very respectful to Yang Jing. After all, being able to let the boss lend the ship is enough to prove the young man's status in the boss's mind. Ivan is just an experienced private captain, and he dare not neglect the boss's honorable guests.

Not long after Yang Jing and his group got on the boat, after seeking Yang Jing's consent, Captain Ivan pulled the whistle, and then the superyacht that stood out from the crowd slowly left the yacht dock under the gaze of many people. After sailing out of the river beside the entrance and exit of the river beside, he turned an angle of 180 degrees, began to slowly accelerate and flow upstream along the Ertzis River.

Although the night temperature in Omsk has dropped below zero degrees at night, the river water will not freeze. The waterways in the middle and upper reaches of the Ertzis River will not be completely closed until the end of October, and the shutdown will continue until May of the following year.

At this time, there were still many ships on the Ertzis River, especially this section of the river was wide and deep, with thousands of tons ships abounding in the river.

In fact, during the former Soviet Union, the Ertzis River was a very important inland waterway in the Siberian region of the former Soviet Union. At that time, the five Central Asian countries had not yet left the Soviet Union alone. The cargo transportation of Kazakhstan and Russia was this important waterway besides the railway.

In that era, through this channel, the annual transportation volume could exceed 1.5 million tons, which is enough to prove the importance of this channel. Now, shipping between Russia and Kazakhstan is still very developed, and the Ertitz River undertakes transportation tasks of up to 2 million tons within only five months of navigation each year.

Now, various inland transport ships coming and going in the river are taking advantage of the more than 20 days before the channel was completely closed, and are silently proving the importance of this channel to people.
