Chapter 595 Super Yacht

“This is the showroom of blohm+voss.”

After looking at the watch, Erin Lauder took Duke into the small exhibition hall and said as he walked, "What kind of yacht are you going to customize?"

"Of course it's a big yacht."

Duke looked at the exhibition hall, which had many reduced-scale models of yachts. There were not many customers in the exhibition hall. Such a yacht exhibition was not like the ones placed on the docks. This was a professional customized exhibition specially designed by the world's top shipyards for the super rich.

After entering a vacation, Duke came to New York and stayed with his mother for a while. He happened to meet this exhibition. He simply made an appointment with Erin Lauder, who was familiar with her, and came here to visit. If you meet someone who suits her, you can also place an order.

The small yacht parked on the beach of Malibu can no longer meet his needs to go to sea.

A staff member came over and Duke waved his hand at him, saying that his introduction was not needed for the time being. He looked around the dozen model boats in the exhibition hall with Erin Lauder.

At the same time, Erin Lauder also whispered to Duke to introduce the company to Duke, and Duke had also learned about it before coming.

This German superyacht manufacturer called blohm+voss specializes in building giant boats above 260 feet. It first started in 1872 and has a history of more than 140 years. Since its establishment, blohm+voss has delivered various military ships, with a total of nearly a thousand superyachts, including the famous German warship "Bismar".

“Blohm+voss has always had an excellent reputation internationally due to its excellent quality, rich experience and perfect after-sales service.”

A middle-aged man suddenly came over and said very elegantly, "Every yacht has unique elements and symbolic meanings. Each yacht demonstrates the noble status of the owner, and each yacht is a unique treasure of art."

After saying that, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Duke, "Hello, Director Rosenberg, I am Thomas von Grotzmann, the person in charge of this exhibition hall."

"Hello." Duke gently held it in his hand.

Grozmann then turned to him. "Hello, Miss Lauder."

The person in charge did not look like a German, but a British man.

"Director Rosenberg, do you have any yachts that are optimistic?"

Standing a little behind Duke, Grozman said slowly, "All our yachts are individually customized, each one is unique."

Every top yacht manufacturer has a list of potential customers. Duke, who has been on the Forbes rich rankings in recent years, is undoubtedly one of the list.

After walking around the exhibition hall, Duke walked slightly to the left. This was a model about twenty feet long. The shape was a bit futuristic. Just looking at the appearance, Duke still liked it.

People like him have never had much interest in antiques and retro, and those with relatively advanced things are in line with their appetite.

Seeing Duke stop, Thomas von Grozmann immediately stepped forward and introduced in time. "This is our latest design this year."

"Let's introduce it in detail." Duke said.

There is no need to read the information, Thomas von Grozmann said skillfully, "According to our design, the finished yacht is 548 feet long, the widest is 72 feet, the total drainage tonnage is 13,000 gt, the maximum power is 20,000 horsepower, and the maximum speed is 28 knots."

Speaking of this, he walked to the yacht model and cooperated with the facilities on the model. He continued to introduce, "The yacht has a total of two helicopter aprons and two hangars; the stern is a floating dock, which can be used for mooring of supply ships and other small ships; the ship is equipped with a submarine, which can dive to a depth of 160 feet to avoid attacks."

"These are standard yachts." Erin Lauder seemed to be an expert in this field. She stood beside Duke and asked, "Is there anything else?"

“The yacht is equipped with the most advanced radar system at present, with armor plates and bulletproof glass all around the cockpit and master suite.”

Thomas von Grozmann pointed to a not-so-conspicuous position on the top of the model and said, "We specially designed a laser shield for the yacht. Once the presence of the CCD image sensor is detected, a beam of strong light will be emitted to hit the camera immediately, thereby blocking its shooting ability and protecting the ** on the yacht to the maximum extent."

Hearing this function, Duke nodded slightly. For him, this function is essential.

Seeing that Duke was interested in moving, Thomas von Grozmann gave a more detailed introduction, and Duke also gained a deeper understanding of this yacht that was more satisfied with the appearance.

The yacht has a stage, exhibition hall, 3 restaurants, 2 kitchens, aquarium, disco hall, bath, gymnastics hall with sauna, steam room, 50 rooms, two swimming pools, and a cinema. A total of 50 staff are required to operate.

Of course, such a yacht is also quite expensive, requiring 350 million euros, and just a deposit, it requires 80 million euros.

"Give me a specific information about it."

Although he was a little moved, Duke did not make a decision immediately, took a detailed yacht information and walked out of the exhibition hall with Erin Lauder.

Before coming here, Duke had seen some products from other companies. The yacht from Germany's blohm+voss company is the most satisfying for him, but the length and cost of the yacht are factors that must be considered.

There is also construction time. According to Thomas von Grozmann, even at the fastest speed, the yacht will take two years to be delivered.

Leaving the showroom of blohm+voss, Duke and Erin Lauder did not go anywhere else, walked to the nearby resting place, sat together, and discussed the product they just saw.

"Do you like it?" Erin Lauder walked back with two cups of coffee, handed Duke a cup, and sat opposite him, "I think it's pretty good."

“Is it a bit too long?”

Duke was still worried about the length of more than 500 feet, "Parking would be a very troublesome thing."

"The water is less than twenty feet away." Erin Lauder opened the information and said, "The deep water marinas in Malibu and Santa Monica can be parked."

She suddenly laughed and said in a joke, "Is there any problem with the funds? If you don't have enough liquidity, I can lend you some for the time being and calculate the bank interest."

"I won't be polite to you if I need it." Duke took back the information from Erin and looked through it. "I can still afford this amount of money."

Although a large amount of funds were thrown into Time Warner's financing expansion, Duke's cash flow is quite abundant, and it won't take long to complete the box office and peripheral sharing of "Iron Man" will also be partially received. It is still quite easy to pay a deposit for a yacht.

Not only yachts, but even Duke is considering replacing a new model for the aircraft.

"Isn't this Duke Rosenberg?"

Suddenly, a loud and arrogant voice sounded from behind, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

The voice's owner strode over, and without asking for advice from Duke and Erin Lauder, he sat at the table carelessly.

Looking at this face full of flesh, Duke frowned slightly. He couldn't like Donald Trump no matter what.

"Duke, long time no see." Donald Trump was very imposing.

He smiled faintly, Duke still looked the same, "It's been a long time since we met."

"When did you come to New York?" Donald Trump's eyes kept staring at Duke, "Why don't you give me a notice, I can receive you."

"We are not familiar with that level yet, are we?" Duke said in a rather polite tone, "I have relatives and friends in New York, so how can I use strangers to receive it?"

Donald Trump's face shook a few times, and then said, "Are you going to buy a yacht, too?"

"I have this plan." Duke said slowly.

"Isn't it the kind of guy that is less than fifty feet long?"

Thinking of Duke's inconspicuous yacht, Donald Trump was in a better mood, "There are no such gadgets for sale here."

Duke just smiled but said nothing.

There is no need to fight wealth with people like Donald Trump in terms of verbal wealth.

Donald Trump didn't want to leave just like that, and said, "Do you know, Duke? I just customized a big guy who is 300 feet long!"

He suddenly increased his tone, "After all, men have to speak by size."

The last sentence, Donald Trump said it very loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not notice it.

Since adulthood, Duke has seen the elite class of society, even those who are despicable and shameless, pay great attention to their image in public. This is the first time I have seen a guy like Donald Trump who is so arrogant that he is unscrupulous and likes to speak out.

Even the Silicon Valley madman Larry Ellison he met was much worse than Donald Trump.

To describe Donald Trump's words and actions as uneducated is simply praising him.

"Three hundred feet?" Duke smiled faintly and threw the information in his hand in front of Donald Trump. "This is the yacht I'm going to order. If you are interested, you can study it."

Seeing the number representing the length in the information, Donald Trump's eyebrows couldn't help but tremble.

Duke stood up and held Erin Lauder in his arms. He was about to leave. When he passed by Donald Trump, he said, "As long as I am here, the Trump Group's funds will never be able to enter the instant sharing!"

"You..." Donald Trumpho stood up.
