Chapter 835 SU·(•̀ω•́)ノ”
After initially financing the Pagani supercar company, Su Yehao had the designers add some co-branded custom elements. This wasn't to exploit Pagani's reputation for added value but rather to use the yacht to advertise the Pagani brand.
It's no exaggeration to say that the value of this yacht is equal to three or four Pagani brands.
Its interior is both modern and luxurious, with exquisite details everywhere. Inside, it is equipped with a cinema, sauna, gym, study, and more, essentially a mobile villa on the sea.
A custom version of the Sikorsky S-76 helicopter is parked on the deck. Its dark gray appearance and smooth lines came at a purchase price of $17 million, not included in the yacht's construction costs.
The side of the yacht can be opened, and inside is a speedboat equipped with supplies including compressed biscuits, desalination equipment, sunshades, satellite phones, inflatable rafts, etc. It can also serve as a lifeboat when necessary and can be rigged with a mast for sailing.
The designer fully considered the moneyed class's regard for life, which made Su Yehao very satisfied.
Of course.
With Su Yehao's character of cherishing his life, even when flying in a private jet, he sticks to the land and never crosses the Arctic to save fuel and time.
He doesn't like sailing into the deep sea, nor does he intend to use a helicopter for daily commuting, mainly for emergencies.
The bottom of the yacht is even equipped with a parking lot that can accommodate four cars. Both sides of the yacht can be opened. To secure the cars, tie-down straps are provided on the ground, so there is no need to worry even if the sea is choppy.
This super yacht has enough space and room to maneuver, and its novel shape and design concept have won it several design awards.
It is, after all, a super yacht of more than one hundred meters, and the experience is much more comfortable than Su's old yacht.
The days spent sailing from Italy to the Maldives, gazing at the blue sea and sky, made Su Yehao feel it was worth spending so much money...
His own son is at an age where he is very active, running around on the deck.
The little guy is almost two years old and hasn't started to remember things. He is carefree at such a young age and doesn't realize what he has owned since birth, muttering about going to the mall to buy toys.
The little guy turns a blind eye to the amazing toy under his feet. He is a typical example of someone who doesn't know what they have, which is heartbreaking.
The Kai Tak Digital Port extends into Victoria Harbour, and his ship can be seen from most places when viewing the night scenery of Victoria Harbour.
It is estimated that even the rich people on the Peak will feel a little jealous when they see the su·(•̀w•́)ノ” these days.
One su·(•̀w•́)ノ” is equal to dozens of villas on the Peak. There are also huge gaps between the wealthy. Su Yehao has casually left a medium-sized listed company in Victoria Harbour, which is more eye-catching than high-rise buildings, completely suppressing all the wealthy in Hong Kong.
It is precisely because it is too high-profile.
The public relations team tried every means to divert people's attention before delivering the yacht, and now that the limelight has gradually passed, there is no major problem.
The main thing is that Su Yehao's money comes cleanly. He hasn't scammed or harmed anyone, and most of his profits come from the American market, which is easier for people to accept.
Although there are many negative voices, they are far from the point of being attacked by the crowd.
Some people are obviously unclean and like to jump around all day long. That group of people is most likely to be beaten, which is essentially different from Su Yehao's situation.
Su Yehao never set up a monument from the beginning. His flirtatious and extravagant behavior is no longer news.
Many Hong Kong residents are envious, but not surprised.
Because many Silicon Valley Internet tycoons have super yachts, and it is acceptable to be young and frivolous. After all, expensive and inexpensive are only relative, and Su Yehao has the strength.
Some media even lamented online that this is the first truly meaningful super yacht in Asia, and that another world-class business genius has finally emerged among the Chinese, which was agreed by many people.
The mainland traditional media is quiet, tacitly avoiding random comments, while the Internet is more lively.
Some people said they wouldn't give Su Yehao money and would use other Internet products, but they were immediately countered with huge loss data, asking them to check the old news to see where the money came from.
More netizens are busy eating melons, wanting businesses to produce Su Yehao versions of the God of Wealth statue, so they can worship him when they have nothing to do and get some wealth.
As mentioned before.
People may envy and be jealous of their relatives and friends, but at Su Yehao's height, how stubborn would ordinary people have to be to make themselves unhappy and compare themselves with him?
Some netizens also came to Victoria Harbour to check in and take close-up photos of the su·(•̀w•́)ノ” yacht, which went straight to the hot search list on Yinhai Weibo.
All that's left is to look up to him. Even if many people can't afford it, it's good to feast their eyes.
More than a month has passed since the yacht was delivered, and the impact on people has gradually been digested, so the height of the wave has passed.
…
At this moment.
Su Yehao took Nong Qingying and her son off the boat to inspect the construction of the Digital Port.
It is already the end of 2002, and after developing the project until now, there are finally some results. The Green Diamond Real Estate Company, established jointly with a group of real estate businessmen, is still only busy with this one super real estate project, Kai Tak Digital Port.
The office buildings and shopping malls that were just completed were immediately used to mortgage loans and extract funds to develop other projects, including hotels, convention centers, and more.
On the seaside near Tsim Sha Tsui, there are also twenty-eight villas planned, which are basically divided up by the shareholders of Green Diamond Real Estate. Nangong Tian's mother, Master Jiang, Zheng Yongwen, and others each purchased one and are not planning to sell them to the public.
As for other residential projects, there are no plans to start construction for the time being. It just so happens that the Hong Kong property market is sluggish. Some of the properties before the property market bubble burst have not been digested yet, so the authorities are not in a hurry to urge them.
Roads and parks have basically been completed, and only about one-third of the runway has been developed.
Near the old apron not far away, the circular Bullet Building has been built to two hundred and forty to fifty meters, and it is estimated that it will not be capped until the end of next year. It is likely that it will have to wait until the end of 2004 or the beginning of 2005 to be officially put into use.
The Bullet Building is independent of Kai Tak Digital Port, and Su Yehao is mainly responsible for the construction costs.
On the Digital Port side, Green Diamond Real Estate Company was established at the beginning, and a sum of money was invested, which has not been added to until now.
The beauty of the real estate industry lies in this. After having start-up capital, you can use real estate to mortgage loans and achieve a leverage of three to four times, which basically doesn't require Su Yehao to worry about it.
When the shopping mall opens next month, the incubation park, office buildings, etc. can also start the leasing work, and the money earned back is estimated to be able to support the subsequent development of residential buildings.
The deserted old airport that no one cared about at the beginning has now become one of the most promising treasures in Kowloon. All the buildings are new, and you can see the scenery of Victoria Harbour, which is quite livable.
So far.
This investment has definitely made money, and the house price has risen by at least 40% compared to the estimate when the land was acquired...
