Chapter 380 WPG0379: Luxury Yacht: Azimut 80Fly, Rental Price? Bought it!

Huashan Apartment.

Underground Parking Lot.

Everyone got into the GMC Savannah nanny car. An Wuyang sat in the passenger seat this time, letting Xia Yuqing and the other three sit in the back.

Half an hour later, the GMC Savannah nanny car was approaching the Bund.

Lu Manman looked at the street scene outside through the car window, and she naturally found that they were heading towards the Bund.

Wen Xin also discovered this situation on her mobile phone map app. She said casually, "We seem to be heading to the Bund?"

"Yeah." Lu Manman affirmed.

Zong Chunyan was curious, "Qingqing, didn't Mr. An tell you about the itinerary?"

"No!" Xia Yuqing answered in the negative.

This GMC Savannah nanny car has a relatively large space, and the driver's seat, co-driver's seat and passenger compartment are relatively well soundproofed, so An Wuyang was unable to hear their discussion clearly.

Nearly ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the Bund Pier.

When they got off the car, they saw two beautiful yachts parked by the Huangfu River, and they immediately guessed the answer.

So they are going on a yacht trip?

"Mr. An, happy National Day!" Qin Sheng's voice came.

An Wuyang looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Qin Sheng had indeed brought Xu Wenxin, Xie Yaxin, and Tian Tian.

Can this little Lao Deng really handle three girlfriends?
An Wuyang didn't believe it!

"Happy National Day." An Wuyang responded.

Xia Yuqing, Lu Manman and the other two were greeting Xu Wenxin and the others.

After the greetings, Xia Yuqing asked curiously, "Shall we take a boat to Yuhang and Gusu?"

An Wuyang finally explained, "We will first go down the river into the sea, then go south along the coastal area, and finally enter Qiantang River from Yuhang Bay, and then dock at Yuhang Qiantang River Wharf to disembark and tour Yuhang."

"Then we went upstream, from Qiantang River into Fuchun River, then to Xin'an River, and finally into Qiandao Lake. This journey is about 500 to 600 kilometers, and we expect it to take four to five days," An Wuyang explained.

"After we have a tour around Qiandao Lake, we will fly directly from there to Wuxi, and Mr. Qin will fly from Wuxi to Qiandao Lake." An Wuyang added.

Qin Sheng continued, "Then you can continue to travel around Taihu Lake and Yangcheng Lake, then go down the Gusu River and finally return to the Bund of Magic City. This journey is shorter, only about 180 kilometers."

Judging from the route arrangement, it is obvious that the team is more concerned about An Wuyang.

Because the route here in An Wuyang requires running about 500 kilometers, and in order not to rush, it will take at least four or five days.

This means that although Qin Sheng only has two or three days of fun, he still needs to wait for An Wuyang's time.

The route arrangement fully reflects the status of both sides.

Qin Sheng added with a chuckle, "Before we exchange the yachts, we will also exchange all the related daily necessities, bed sheets, quilts, etc."

When Qin Sheng finished speaking, Xia Yuqing, Xu Wenxin and others blushed.

Qin Sheng changed the subject, "Let me introduce to you the yacht we are about to take."

"These two yachts are Azimut 80 Fly from the Italian luxury yacht manufacturer Azimut. They are Azimut's flagship luxury yachts, with a total length of 25.2 meters and a beam of 6.18 meters." Qin Sheng introduced them to everyone while looking at the information on his mobile phone.

（↑Azimut 80Fly: Overview of the whole ship）
"Its displacement reaches 70 tons, and it has four luxury suites and a luxurious salon room," Qin Sheng continued.

"The so-called salon room can actually be understood as a living room or reception area, and it is adjacent to an eight-person dining area." Qin Sheng added.

"In addition, two crew cabins are provided, including two crew beds." Qin Sheng looked at his phone again to explain the corresponding information.

"Without overloading, it can accommodate 8 passengers and 2 crew members." Qin Sheng chuckled twice.

In fact, few people care about overloading!
After all, checking yacht overloading is not the same as checking vehicle overloading. How can it be that easy?

"Although they are relatively large yachts, they are very fast. The standard cruising speed can reach 24 to 26 knots, equivalent to 44 to 48 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed can reach 31 knots, equivalent to about 57 kilometers per hour." Qin Sheng introduced the data again.

After he finished speaking, he exclaimed, "This speed is so fast!"

The speed in water is different from the speed on land!
In inland waterways, the speed of ordinary general cargo ships is usually around 12 to 15 knots;
The speed of a cruise ship is usually around 13 to 17 knots;
Passenger ships travel a little faster, at around 18 to 22 knots.

But compared with the Azimut 80FLy luxury yacht, it is still a long way behind.

"The most amazing thing about this yacht is that, despite being so huge and powerful, its draft is only 1.97 meters, less than 2 meters. This means that its navigation capability is very strong." Qin Sheng exclaimed again.

"In addition, its navigation area is [HNA Class I], which means it can go anywhere!" Qin Sheng added.

There are two types of yacht sailing areas, namely [sea sailing] and [inland river] sailing areas.

There are five levels of HNA regional grades, from high to low, namely Class I to Class V. The specific differences are shown in the following figure:
(↑ HNA regional level)

Inland waterways are divided into three categories, and the specific differences are shown in the figure below:
(↑Inland River Area Level)

According to the correspondence between the two, the highest inland waterway level [Inland River Class A] corresponds to [Hainan Navigation Class IV], which means that as long as the yacht reaches [Hainan Navigation Class IV], it can sail freely in the inland river.

Of course, you need to apply for the corresponding waterway.

For example, An Wuyang and Qin Sheng applied for this trip in advance. For example, information such as the departure port, the ports to pass through, and the target port all needed to be reported and applied for in advance.

But these are minor issues because the application process is very simple.

As for the yacht driving certificate, there is no need to worry about it because An Wuyang does not need to drive the yacht himself.

After Qin Sheng introduced the Azimut 80Fly luxury yacht, they prepared to go their separate ways. Qin Sheng would go upstream along the Gusu River, while An Wuyang would go downstream along the Huangfu River.

After they each boarded their respective yachts, the two luxury yachts slowly started.

In addition to the pilot and a chef and waiter on the ship, Duan Zhiqiang and Liang Pei also followed An Wuyang.

The yacht is fully equipped with ten people, but currently nine people are on board.

In addition, there were actually two security teams on land, one openly and one secretly following the yacht.

On the Azimut 80Fly luxury yacht, whether it is Xia Yuqing, Wen Xin, Lu Manman or Zong Chunyan, they are all full of curiosity.

Cai Xiaorong, who worked as a chef and waiter, temporarily served as a tour guide. She led everyone to visit the interior of the entire luxury yacht.

It includes four luxurious suites, the main salon area, the main deck, the flying bridge, the bow sunbathing area, the stern swimming platform, etc.

However, the temperature in October has dropped a bit, and since we are in an inland river area, there is no need for swimming.

After a visit, Xia Yuqing, Lu Manman, Wen Xin and Zong Chunyan all had a basic understanding of this Azimut 80Fly luxury yacht. It must be said that it is worthy of the title of "luxury yacht"!

Because it is indeed very luxurious and far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If ordinary people have not looked up its situation, and only imagine it from the four words "luxury yacht", they actually can't imagine what it is like.

After all, ancient people all knew about the blind men and the elephant.

It is often difficult for humans to imagine things beyond our cognition.

Luxury yachts are actually beyond the common people’s cognition.

Wen Xin asked curiously, "Mr. An, how much does this yacht cost?"

"Are you asking about the overseas price, the domestic price, or the price for renting it?" An Wuyang asked.

"I want to know everything." Wen Xin responded quickly.

Xia Yuqing and the other two also looked at An Wuyang with concern.

"The order price offered by Azimut is 760 million US dollars." An Wuyang first explained the overseas price.

"Luxury yachts like this entering our country are subject to value-added tax, consumption tax, customs duties, etc. Our country's yacht import tax is based on the landed price, so approximately 43% to 44% of the comprehensive tax needs to be paid." An Wuyang added.

"If calculated based on the exchange rate of 6.86, 760 million US dollars is roughly equal to 5213.6 million Xia Guoyuan, plus the 43.65% yacht import tax and miscellaneous fees," An Wuyang calculated with the calculator on his mobile phone.

Do I need to do mental arithmetic on this kind of data?
Please!

What is An Wuyang’s college entrance examination score?

"The final price of the drowning is about 7500 million!" An Wuyang said the result of the calculator on his mobile phone.

It has to be said that luxury cars and luxury yachts are not on the same level when compared.

Because this Azimut 80Fly can only be considered a small player in the field of luxury yachts.

For example, a slightly larger yacht would only need to be 80 percent longer than the Azimut 1Fly, and the corresponding price of the yacht would likely increase by another million yuan.

As for those 100-meter-long super yachts, their prices are often measured in billions of dollars, right?

The top private business jets are nothing compared to them.

Only those super toys that convert large commercial passenger aircraft into private jets can be comparable to the 100-meter super yachts.

It’s a pity that these super toys are still quite far away from being safe and sound.

At least An Wuyang can't afford to play it at the moment!

"As for the rental price, let me ask first." An Wuyang sent a message directly to Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng immediately replied to An Wuyang.

'Qin Sheng: I didn't rent it!'

"Are you safe?"

'Qin Sheng: I bought it!'

'Qin Sheng: Buying two ships together will get a discount. The original price was 1.68 million, but it was finally negotiated to 1.5 million. Only part of the deposit has been paid, and the transaction has not been completed yet.'

'Qin Sheng: I'm going to give you one of them.'

'An Wuyang: Did you spend a lot of money?'

'Qin Sheng: Hehe, this is called locking in the order for the two happy ones in advance! '

"Are you safe? For your own use?"

'Qin Sheng: For my own use!'

'An Wuyang: Then calculate it at 7500 million as a down payment, but go through the necessary procedures, don't go through the gift process, and register it under our Wugengtian name.'

'Qin Sheng: Got it!'

If it is posted obviously at five o'clock in the morning, the corresponding tax can be deducted, which is equivalent to a further drop in price.

If it is given as a gift, the price will be expensive!
Because when you give something as a gift, you will need to pay an additional tax.

'An Wuyang: If you must rent it, what price do you think is appropriate? '

'Qin Sheng: I asked around before, and there are no such top-level luxury yachts for rent. After all, most of the wealthy people who can afford such yachts are unwilling to rent them out and let others mess with them.'

'Qin Sheng: Those yachts that are willing to rent are either of a lower quality or a little old, anyway, they are not to my liking.'

'Qin Sheng: If you really want to rent a yacht of this level, I estimate it will cost around 50 a day, right?'

'Qin Sheng: Anyway, from my point of view, if the price is lower than this, I will definitely not be willing to let others use it.'

This price seems quite expensive at first glance!

After all, the total price is only 7500 million, and at 50 a day, wouldn’t it only take 150 days to get your investment back?
However, this algorithm is funny!
Are there so many rental orders?
If it were really put on the rental market, I'm afraid the rental period would be less than 20 days a year.

As for lowering the price.
Then why does Qin Sheng rent it out?

Is he short of those hundreds of thousands?

When it comes to yacht rental business, they usually choose old yachts for ordinary tourists.

For example, in Shanya Bay on the South China Sea Island, you can just get an old luxury yacht and rent it to tourists at a price of 4,000 to 6,000 yuan for three hours. Wouldn't you make more money?

After all, how can ordinary people tell whether a luxury yacht is new or old?
Ordinary tourists rent luxury yachts. As long as it is a luxury yacht, they can take photos and post them on WeChat Moments. After all, how many people in WeChat Moments can tell the difference between a new model and an old one?
It's just a yacht, isn't that okay?
If you insist on getting some new top-of-the-line luxury yacht and putting it on the rental market, you're probably crazy!
This behavior is similar to buying a new Bugatti and then sending it to a rental company to be ravaged by ordinary people. How many people would do this?
After all, in the luxury car rental market, most supercars are old cars!
Even the cheaper luxury car rental market will not do this kind of loss-making business, let alone the luxury yacht rental market which is more than ten times the price?

After An Wuyang and Qin Sheng finished their conversation, he glanced at Xia Yuqing and the other three, and then quickly said, "Luxury yachts of this level normally don't appear on the rental market."

"Ah?" Wen Xin was stunned for a moment, "Then how did you get it?"

Zong Chunyan sighed silently, she had already guessed the answer.

"Of course I bought it!" An Wuyang replied with a smile.

"Fuck?" Wen Xin blurted out.

"No, Mr. An, you just said that this ship seems to cost 75 million?" Wen Xin repeated the price.

"Yes!" An Wuyang responded affirmatively.

"So you bought it?" Wen Xin asked again.

An Wuyang confirmed again, "Yes!"
