Chapter 380 WPG0379: Luxury yacht: Azimut 80Fly, rental price? Bought it!
Huashan Apartment.
Underground parking.
Everyone got into the GMC Savanna nanny car. An Wuyang sat in the passenger seat this time, and Xia Yuqing and the four of them sat in the back.
Half an hour later, the GMC Savanna nanny car was approaching the Bund.
Lu Manman looked at the street scene outside through the car window, and she naturally discovered that they were heading towards the Bund.
Wenxin also discovered this situation in the mobile map software. She said casually, "We seem to be going to the Bund?"
"Yes." Lu Manman confirmed.
Zong Chunyan was curious, "Qingqing, didn't Mr. An tell you about the itinerary?"
"No!" Xia Yuqing replied negatively.
This GMC Savanna nanny car has a relatively large space, and the sound insulation between the driver's seat, the passenger seat and the passenger compartment is relatively good. An Wuyan did not 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 on the Huangfu River, so they immediately guessed the answer.
So are they going on a yacht trip?
"Mr. An, happy National Day!" Qin Sheng's voice came.
An Wuyan followed the news and found that Qin Sheng had indeed brought Xu Wenxin, Xie Yaxin, and Tian Tian with him.
Can this little Lao Deng really be able to withstand three girlfriends?
An Wuyang didn't believe it!
"Happy National Day." An Wuyang responded.
Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman were greeting Xu Wenxin and the others.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xia Yuqing asked curiously, "Shall we take a boat to Yuhang and Suzhou?"
An Wuyang finally explained, "We will first go down the river into the sea, then go all the way south near the sea area, and finally enter the Qiantang River from Yuhang Bay, and then stop at Yuhang Qiantang River Pier to disembark and visit Yuhang."
"Then we went straight upstream, from Qiantang River to Fuchun River, then to Xin'an River, and finally to Qiandao Lake. This journey is almost five to six hundred kilometers away. We expect it to take four to five days." An Wuyang explained.
"After we have played around Qiandao Lake, we will take a plane directly to Wu Xi from there, and Mr. Qin will take a plane from Wu Xi to Qiandao Lake." An Wuyang added.
Qin Sheng answered, "Then you continue to travel around Taihu Lake and Yangcheng Lake, and then go all the way down the Gusu River, and finally return to the Bund of the Magic City. This way is closer, only 180 kilometers away."
Judging from the route arrangement, it is obvious that the team takes more care of An Wuyan.
Because An Wuyang's route needs to cover about 500 kilometers, and in order not to be in a hurry, it will take at least four or five days.
This means that Qin Sheng's side only has two or three days of play content, but he has to wait for An Wuyang's time.
The route arrangement fully reflects the status of both sides.
Qin Sheng added with a smile, "Before we exchange the yacht, all related daily necessities, bed sheets, quilts, etc. will also be replaced together."
When Qin Sheng finished speaking, Xia Yuqing, Xu Wenxin and others all blushed.
Qin Sheng changed the topic, "Let me introduce to you the yacht we are about to take."
"These two yachts come from the Azimut 80 Fly, an Italian luxury yacht manufacturer. They are Azimut's flagship luxury yachts. The total length of the hull reaches 25.2 meters and the width reaches 6.18 meters." Qin Sheng looked at the mobile phone information while introducing it to everyone.
(↑Azimut 80Fly: Full Ship Overview)
"Its displacement reaches 70 tons, and it has four luxurious 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-seat dining area." Qin Sheng added.
"In addition, two crew cabins are provided, including two crew beds." Qin Sheng looked at the 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 take care of it even if it is overloaded!
After all, checking for overloading of yachts is not that of checking for overloading of vehicles. 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, which is equivalent to 44 kilometers to 48 kilometers per hour, and the top speed can reach 31 knots, which is equivalent to 31 knots per hour. About 57 kilometers." Qin Sheng introduced the data again.
After he finished speaking, he even sighed, "This speed is so fast!"
The speed in water is different from the speed on land!
In an inland river environment, the speed of ordinary general cargo ships is usually around 12 to 15 knots;
The speed of a cruise ship is usually around 13 knots to 17 knots;
The speed of passenger ships is a little faster, between 18 and 22 knots.
But compared with the Azimut 80FLy luxury yacht, it is still far behind.
"The most powerful thing about this yacht is that even though it is so huge and so powerful, its draft is only 1.97 meters, which is less than 2 meters, which means that its navigation ability is very strong." Qin Sheng sighed again.
"In addition, its navigation area is [Hainan Airlines Category I], which means it can go anywhere!" Qin Sheng added.
There are two classifications of yacht navigation areas, namely [sea navigation] and [inland water] navigation areas.
There are five levels of HNA regional levels, from high to low, from Category I to Category V. The specific differences are as shown in the figure below:
(↑ HNA regional level)
Inland navigation areas are divided into three categories, and the specific differences are also shown in the figure below:
(↑Inland river area level)
According to the corresponding relationship between the two, the highest inland water navigation area [Inland River Class A] corresponds to [Haihang Class IV], which means that as long as the yacht reaches [Haihang Class IV], it can sail freely in the inland waterway.
Of course, you need to apply for the corresponding waterway.
For example, An Wuyang and Qin Sheng applied for their trip in advance. Information such as the port from which they departed, the port they passed through, and the destination port all needed to be submitted in advance.
But these are minor issues as applying is easy.
As for the yacht driving certificate, there is no need to worry about it, because An Wuyan does not need to drive the yacht himself.
After Qin Sheng introduced the Azimut 80Fly luxury yacht, they prepared to part ways. Qin Sheng's side would go straight up the Gusu River, while An Wuyang's side would go straight down the Huangfu River.
After they each boarded their respective yachts, the two luxury yachts slowly started.
In addition to the driver and a chef and waiter on the ship, An Wuyang was also followed by Duan Zhiqiang and Liang Pei.
The yacht, which was full of ten people, was currently carrying nine people.
In addition, there were actually two security teams on land following the yacht, one covertly and the other openly.
On the Azimut 80Fly luxury yacht, whether it’s Xia Yuqing, Wen Xin, or Lu Manman and Zong Chunyan, they are all full of curiosity.
Cai Xiaorong, who serves as chef and service staff, temporarily served as the docent. She led everyone to visit the interior of the entire luxury yacht.
It includes four luxurious suites, the main salon area, then the main deck, flybridge, bow sunbathing area, stern swimming platform and so on.

However, the temperature in October has dropped a bit, and since it is an inland river area, swimming is not necessary.
After a visit, whether it was Xia Yuqing, Lu Manman, or Wen Xin and Zong Chunyan, they all had a basic idea of this Azimut 80Fly luxury yacht. I have to say 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 inquired about its situation and just imagine it from the words "luxury yacht", they will actually have no idea what it is like.
After all, ancient people knew that blind men touch elephants.
Humans often have difficulty imagining things outside their cognition.
Luxury yachts are actually beyond the awareness of ordinary people.
Wen Wen asked curiously, "Mr. An, what is the price of this yacht?"
"Are you asking about the overseas price, the domestic price, or the price of renting it?" An Wuyang asked.
"I want to know about it." Wenxin responded quickly.
Xia Yuqing and the other three also looked at An Wuyang with concern.
"The order price provided by the Azimut manufacturer is US$7.6 million." An Wuyang first explained the overseas price.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"When a luxury yacht like this enters our Xia Kingdom, it needs to pay value-added tax, consumption tax, customs duties, etc. Our country's yacht import tax is based on the CIF price, so it is necessary to pay a comprehensive tax of 43% to 44%." An Wuyang added.
"If calculated based on the exchange rate of 6.86, US$7.6 million is approximately equal to 52.136 million Xia Guoyuan, plus 43.65% of the yacht import tax and miscellaneous expenses." An Wuyang calculated with a mobile phone calculator.
Does this kind of data require mental arithmetic?
Please!
What was An Wuyan's college entrance examination score?
"The final price is almost 75 million!" An Wuyang told the result of the calculator on his mobile phone.
It has to be said that compared to luxury cars and luxury yachts, they are indeed not on the same level at all.
Because in the field of luxury yachts, this Azimut 80Fly can only be regarded as a small player.
For example, if the size of a larger yacht is only 50% longer than that of the Azimut 80Fly, the corresponding price may increase by another 100 million.
As for those 100-meter-class superyachts, their prices are always in the unit of "100 million U.S. dollars," right?
Top-notch private business jets can only pale into insignificance in front of them.
Only those super toys that transform large commercial airliners into private jets can rival the 100-meter super yacht.
Unfortunately, these super toys are still far from safe.
At least An Wuyang can't afford it now!
"As for the rental price, I'll ask first." An Wuyang sent a message directly to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng immediately replied to An Wuyang's message.
‘Qin Sheng: I didn’t rent it! ’
‘An Wuyang:? ’
‘Qin Sheng: I bought it! ’
‘Qin Sheng: We bought two ships together at a discount. The original price was 168 million, but we finally negotiated for 150 million. Only part of the deposit was paid, and the process has not been completely completed. ’
‘Qin Sheng: I am going to give one of them to you. ’
‘An Wuyang: Have you spent a lot of money? ’
‘Qin Sheng: Hehe, I call it locking Liang Huanxi’s order in advance! ’
‘An Wuyang: For personal use? ’
‘Qin Sheng: For your own use! ’
‘An Wuyang: Then calculate it based on the price of 75 million, and treat it as an advance payment, but you have to go through the necessary procedures, don’t go through the gift procedure, and put it in our name on the fifth day of the night. ’
‘Qin Sheng: Got it! ’
If it is posted on the fifth day of the week, the corresponding tax will be deducted, which is equivalent to a further drop in prices.
If it is in the name of giving away, the price will be expensive!
Because when giving a gift, you need to pay an additional tax fee.
‘An Wuyang: If you must rent, what price do you think is appropriate? ’
‘Qin Sheng: I asked around before and found that there are no such top-notch luxury yachts for rent. After all, most wealthy people who can afford such yachts are not willing to rent them out and let others ruin them. ’
‘Qin Sheng: Those yachts that are willing to be rented out are either of a lower quality or older, and they are not to your liking anyway. ’
‘Qin Sheng: If you have to rent out a yacht of this level, I guess you can’t guarantee 500,000 a day? ’
‘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. ’
At first glance, this price seems quite expensive!
After all, the total price is only 75 million. If it’s 500,000 a day, wouldn’t it only take 150 days to pay back the money?
However, such an 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 want to rent it out?
Did he miss those hundreds of thousands?
In the yacht rental business, old yachts are usually chosen to target ordinary tourists.
For example, in Shanya Bay on Nanhai Island, if you just buy an old luxury yacht and rent it to tourists at a price of NT$4,000 to NT$6,000 for three hours, wouldn't this make more money?
After all, how can ordinary people tell whether a luxury yacht is new or old?
Ordinary tourists rent a luxury yacht. As long as it is a luxury yacht, they can take pictures and post it on their WeChat Moments. After all, how many people in their WeChat Moments can tell whether the yacht is a new model or an old one?
It’s a yacht anyway, so isn’t that okay?
If you insist on putting a new top-end luxury yacht on the rental market, you are probably out of your mind!
This behavior is similar to buying a new Bugatti and then sending it to a leasing company for ordinary people to ravage. How many people do this?
After all, in the luxury car rental market, most supercars are also old guys!
Even the cheaper luxury car rental market will not do this kind of loss-making business, let alone the luxury yacht rental market that is more than ten times the price?
After An Wuyang and Qin Sheng finished their exchange, he glanced around Xia Yuqing and the others, and then said quickly, "Luxury yachts of this level will not appear in the rental market under normal circumstances."
"Ah?" Wenxin 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 burst out directly.
"No, Mr. An, you just said that this ship seems to cost 75 million, right?" Wen Wen repeatedly asked the price.
"Yes!" An Wuyang responded affirmatively.
"You just bought it?" Wenxin asked again.
An Wuyang affirmed again, "Yes!"
