Chapter 472 Buying a Cruise Ship
"Convenient, where is it?" Chen Yuan asked.
"It's on the Haiyang Guangming. The 'Guangming' has sailed into Wusongkou today. Please send me your location, Mr. Yan. I'll send a plane to pick you up!"
"Ok!"
Chen Yuan nodded.
After hanging up the phone, he sent his location.
Due to the heavy tonnage and large volume of ultra-large cruise ships, in order to avoid being grounded, large cruise ships generally do not sail into the inland.
Just stay on the coast of Wusongkou and wait for passengers to board the ship.
Wang Mengmeng and Lin Zhiluo went to school.
Chen Yuan was watching TV series at Tomson Yipin by himself, and he was a bit bored at first, so he just went to buy a cruise today.
It was also because of this that he stayed in Shanghai and did not return to Seoul.
In addition, Chen Yuan intends to buy this cruise ship with his own money, instead of using licking gold.
There are more than 100 billion unused in my account.
Anyway, keep it.
It's better to invest in something and turn it into a fixed asset.
As long as this world's top luxury cruise ship is operated properly, it is very possible to make a monthly profit of [-] to [-] million.
Money is just a number. If it is not transformed into something that is really practical, it will not reflect the value of money at all.
After more than half an hour~
Chen Yuan boarded the helicopter.
This time, the King of Machines greeted him personally.
"Mr. Ye, do you know who the buyer of the Guangming is?"
"Actually, there is nothing we can't say about this. The giant ship Guangming is one of the world's seven largest ship kings. Dong's ship, Mr. Yan, do you know the world's seven largest ship kings?" Ye Yaozu asked with a smile.
"Well, I have heard that the world's seven largest ship kings are Bao Yugang, Dong Haoyun, Livanos, Onassis, Bergson, Shalan, and Niagos."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, appearing to be very knowledgeable and profound.
Even if ordinary people know the world's seven largest ship kings, they certainly can't call so many names.
It just so happened that Chen Yuan searched the Internet for the past two days.
With the ability of photographic memory, it is not difficult to call everyone by name.
"Sure enough, Mr. Yan is worthy of being from a famous family and has extraordinary knowledge!"
"What's the name? I'm just a rural kid. Mr. Ye, don't flatter me!" Chen Yuan waved his hand, telling the truth.
"Haha, Mr. Yan, you are too humble. You are not very old, but you have insight and talent far beyond ordinary young people. Your family has a long history of education and aristocratic background. I am afraid that even my Ye family can't be compared to you!"
Ye Yaozu gave a commercial compliment.
It made Chen Yuan very speechless.
"What family background?"
"What family background?"
"You're too good at blowing, aren't you?"
"As expected of a businessman, the flattery is no ordinary six!"
But Ye Yaozu obviously didn't think so.
He felt that his evaluation was very sincere.
The origin of Yanzong is very mysterious. In the high-end circles in Seoul, many people say that Yanzong comes from the hidden chaebol, the Chen family. It is said that this family can be traced back to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and once supported Tang Taizong Li Shimin. Ascend to the throne.
It can be described as a real millennium giant!
It's awe-inspiring!
"Boss Ye, you are exaggerating too much. Let's not talk about this nonsense. Let's talk about the Guangming. Is this huge ship the Dong family's ship? They are very good. Why sell the Guangming?"
"That's a long story. As one of the world's seven largest shipping king families, the Dong family would have been extremely powerful decades ago. However, with the development of the times, countless new industries have been born. The pulse of the times is rising rapidly, and naturally some people can't keep up with the pace of the times and gradually become lonely. If a family wants to ensure longevity, how easy is it?"
"The Dong family's nautical business has always been doing well, but Dong Chuanwang's grandson, the current head of the Dong family, Dong Tianba, has been thinking about transforming over the years. He has transformed into an e-commerce business, but Failed, then transformed into a game business, and then failed again. Last year, he transformed into a live broadcast platform, but he still failed, and has been burning money.
In fact, there is no problem with the businesses he wants to transform, because they are all sunrise industries, but the competitors are too strong, and he himself is 3 minutes hot.
Just can't stand it.
He just watched other people do business to make money, and then wanted to follow suit, but after he actually entered the market, he found that this business was not so easy, and he burned far more money than he imagined, and then he began to waver up.
It even affected their own HNA trade business and cruise tourism business.
Last year, because of the epidemic, the global tourism industry was losing money.
This kind of sea cruise tourism project is naturally a blood loss. The Dong family's economy can't support it, so they can only start selling assets! "
"Hasn't the tourism industry now slowly recovering?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Even if it recovers slowly, it's still not as good as before. The main reason is that China's tourism industry has slowly recovered, but other countries have not? The giant sea ship Guangming cannot only accept tourists from China, it still needs to absorb Tourists from all over the world, otherwise the operating expenses of cruise ships and the cost of paying salaries to employees would be an astronomical sum!"
Chen Yuan calculated slowly in his mind.
It seems that operating a super-large ship is really expensive.
Because the staff on the cruise ship exceeds 1000 people.
Among the 1000 service personnel, not counting executives, but only grassroots employees, the monthly salary of each person is probably more than [-].
Because the waiter on the Guangming is at least bilingual, and English is a must!
Some even speak multiple languages.
Naturally, the wages of waiters in the same industry are higher.
A thousand staff members need at least 1000 million or more per month just to pay wages.
This does not include cruise maintenance, repairs, purchases, and other messy expenses.
It is equivalent to saying that if you put this giant ship at sea and do not operate it, you will lose at least 3000 to [-] million yuan every month, and at least [-] to [-] million yuan a year.
Who can stand this?
If Chen Yuan bought this giant ship, he would probably continue to burn money.
Because the international tourism industry has not fully recovered.
but it does not matter.
Even if there are no tourists, simply take the employees of Feidun Capital to take a seven-day luxury cruise as a reward.
Big Cat TV's anchor carnival event, it can also be held on the Guangming.
There are cards and live content, countless female anchors will flock to it, and it will also attract a lot of local tyrants to come to consume.
This is not a problem at all.
The point is that Chen Yuan is not afraid of losing money at all.
Buying a luxury cruise ship is originally for your own enjoyment.
Making money is by the way.
