AB?

Chen Rui was stunned. As an ocean enthusiast, he certainly knew the name of AB. This is like when people mention luxury sports cars, they always involuntarily think of Ferrari. AB company is also located in Italy. It is the Ferrari company in the yacht industry!

Speaking of Italian AB, the history of AB is actually not long. It was founded in 1992, but in the short history of AB, it has been created again and again.

All the yachts produced by this maverick yacht company use expensive water jet propulsion systems and have a cruise speed of more than fifty knots!

If you have a little idea of ​​the ship, you will understand how amazing the cruising speed of fifty knots is. You must know that the resistance faced by ships in the sea is not comparable to that of land. In addition, the ships weigh dozens of tons, so if you want to make the yacht run at a relatively high speed, you will definitely not be able to rely on advanced technology.

AB company officially uses representatives of top technology in the yacht manufacturing, advanced composite materials, unique synthetic resins, and in terms of vibration resistance, AB company is good at air export shaping technology.

In short, AB is not only a supercar company in the yacht industry, but also a high-tech company. The yachts produced are unique in the world.

The direction Ye Wuhen pointed, there was really a unique yacht moored. The streamlined structure made the yacht look more dynamic than other yachts of the same class. There were two middle-aged people standing on the boat.

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

Generally speaking, few ship owners will sell this expensive luxury yacht by themselves. They will entrust them to agents to negotiate prices and details with customers. The ship owner does not have to come forward and just wait to collect the money.

The Hong Kong Yacht Club is an old club in Hong Kong Island, and the agency itself is part of the club, so they came so quickly.

After a little greeting between the two sides, Ye Wuhen smiled and said, "I have roughly understood the characteristics and performance of this ship. You just need to introduce the situation to my friend."

The representatives of the agency company saw that Chen Rui and Ye Wuhen were both young, and they were a little surprised.

Nowadays, Hong Kong people dare not look down on customers from the mainland. Facts have long proved how heroic the mainland tycoons are. News about how much money the mainland tourists spend in the newspapers every day, and many mainland tycoons have unfathomable backgrounds.

The agent obviously regarded Ye Wuhen and Shen Rui as children of some inland families with strong backgrounds. He hurriedly invited the two to the yacht and arranged for waiters to serve some snacks and drinks.

"This ship was originally owned by a large family in the Hong Kong government. It was only five years old. When I bought it, the taxes and modification costs were equivalent to RMB 55 million."

"You can clearly see that the ship has been maintained by dedicated personnel, and the ship is in an impeccable condition. It is a pity to say that it is 80% new. After all, the engine has only been running for 213 hours."

Shen Rui nodded. The engine running time is one of the important criteria for detecting the new and old levels of ships. Marine engines are no more than car engines. They have huge losses. They need to be maintained once in two hundred hours and repaired within one thousand hours. These are also the costs that cause the yacht prices to remain high.

"The model of this ship is called AB68, which means sixty-eight feet in length. It is converted into a metric unit twenty-three meters, with a width of four meters and ninety meters, a weight of twenty-four tons, and a waterline of one meter."

"The hull is made of three synthetic materials, namely epoxy resin, Kevlar, and high-strength carbon fiber, and is one of the most sturdy ships of AB Company to date."

Chen Rui was stunned again. Kevlar's material is very tough. It was originally used to build a bulletproof vest, but unexpectedly it was used by AB Company on the hull. It seems that the ship is indeed very strong.

"Where is the power system? I remember that AB's yachts have high-speed cruising capabilities, but the cruising distance is generally not too far. This is its disadvantage." Chen Rui asked anxiously.

The agent laughed, "This boss is indeed an expert. AB company takes the fastest yacht as its mission, and its endurance is indeed not ideal, but please rest assured that this ship is a customized model. Before leaving the factory, it has been reconfigured with the power system according to the requirements of the original owner."

"The engines originally equipped with this ship were two twelve-cylinder diesel engines produced by German MAN, each with 1,550 horsepower, and were replaced with two 1,800 horsepower MTU diesel transmitters, which had stronger power."

"The KAMEWA water spray system of Rolls-Royce remains unchanged. The original fuel tank is 4,000 liters, and it has been replaced with the current 13,000 liter model to increase battery life."

"It's a pity that due to the use of a large fuel tank and a larger horsepower engine, the ship originally had a master bedroom and three attached bedrooms, but now one is missing, leaving only one master bedroom and two attached bedrooms."

"What does this matter!" Chen Rui blurted out: "Tell me quickly what is the maximum speed and cruising speed of this ship today? What is the cruising distance?"

He bought a boat not for fun, but for finding treasures in the sea. The boat with faster and longer range was only suitable for his own requirements. As for comfort, it was a super luxury yacht worth tens of millions of dollars each. The decoration was even more luxurious than the sharp new home.

The agent looked at the information in his hand and said with a smile: "The current maximum speed of this ship is fifty-eight knots and cruising speed is fifty-three knots. At the cruise speed, it can travel 1,100 nautical miles in a row, that is, two thousand kilometers away."

Cruising 1,100 nautical miles at a speed of fifty-three knots!?

Chen Rui was very satisfied with this number. After all, what he went to this time was just the South China Sea. There were many places around where you could park and refuel, and the range of 1,100 nautical miles was enough.

However, if you carefully convert it, you will find that the fuel consumption of this ship has reached an astonishing 1,180 liters of fuel! Every time you run a nautical mile, you have to consume nearly 1.8 liters of diesel. It is indeed a super oil tiger. It costs 100,000 yuan to refuel just by going to sea.

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

The Italian AB68, which was priced at RMB 38 million, was mentioned by Chen Rui to 32 million. At this time, the agents were unwilling to lower the price. It is estimated that this is their bottom line.

"Three thousand two million?" Chen Rui thought for a moment and made a decision: "Okay, I bought this ship!"

The agent was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the lawyer to take out the blank documents that had been prepared long ago, and then fill them in to let Chen Rui look at them.

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

Chen Rui felt that he was getting bigger and bigger recently. He bought a boat worth 32 million, but his heart was not beating wildly. When he was in school, Chen Rui went to the mall to spend 2,000 yuan to buy a mobile phone, and his heart was still so excited that he was getting faster. Times have changed, and now he is really incomparable to the past.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations, you are now the owner of this ship. According to the rules, you should give your ship a new name and brush it on both sides and behind the string line to facilitate patrol by the Maritime Bureau." The business was completed, and the agent was also very happy and said to Chen Rui with a smile.

"Boat name?" Chen Rui was slightly stunned, touched his chin with his right hand, "Just call it Razor."
