Chapter 95

Adolf von Frank spent the night at his villa. The two of them had a deep conversation until late into the night, and only then did they reluctantly say goodnight to each other. The next morning, Wang Zixuan, dressed in casual clothes, and Adolf von Frank, two handsome men, started jogging along the Alster Lake. A few bodyguards in sportswear followed them from a distance. The combination of the two handsome men from the East and West attracted the attention of many people doing morning exercises. A few girls with great figures even sent them fiery glances. Unfortunately, neither Wang Zixuan nor Adolf von Frank was interested in them. After running five kilometers, they turned back. Wang Zixuan, a prodigal son, had always been in good physical condition, and after his rebirth, his physical condition had continuously improved. After running five kilometers, he didn't even break a sweat. Adolf von Frank wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and, looking at Wang Zixuan's calm appearance, said, "I thought your athletic ability would decline, but it seems to have become even stronger." Wang Zixuan, with a thick face, replied, "I love sports." In fact, compared to the prodigal son, he exercised much less, but for some unknown reason, his body had been getting stronger after his rebirth. Wang Zixuan was not at all doubtful that his physical condition was the best in the world, whether in terms of body coordination or nerve reaction speed. This was also the reason he dared to engage in wingsuit flying. After returning to the villa, the two of them had breakfast. Then, the group headed to a historic shipyard in Hamburg. The two convoys arrived at the shipyard almost simultaneously. Adolf von Frank looked at the other convoy with a slight disdain and smiled, "As long as we're not late, this Russian will definitely arrive at the same time as us." Wang Zixuan, however, was not as arrogant as Adolf and smiled, "He's also a super-rich man, so he naturally doesn't want to wait for us." As they spoke, the Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich got out of his car and walked over. As the former richest man in Russia, he had his own pride. Although Wang Zixuan was now a global sensation and the von Frank family was influential in Europe, he did not want to wait for them, so he chose to arrive at the same time. However, this time, Wang Zixuan and Adolf von Frank were helping him solve a problem, so he had to show some courtesy. Seeing Abramovich walk over, Wang Zixuan and Adolf von Frank also got out of their car, one on each side. "Hello, Mr. Wang." "Hello, Mr. Frank." Abramovich, who rarely took the initiative, extended his hand to greet them. "Hello." Although Wang Zixuan had met many tycoons after his rebirth, he was still somewhat curious about Abramovich. There was no need to recount how Abramovich made his fortune; the process of Russian oligarchs becoming rich was largely the same. However, what made Abramovich famous worldwide was not his wealth but his extravagance. He bought the English Premier League team Chelsea because he loved football and turned it into a top club with a huge investment. His lifestyle was no less luxurious than that of Middle Eastern oil tycoons. In 2004, he spent $100 million to build a super private jet, whose internal facilities and equipment rivaled those of Air Force One, making it the most expensive private jet in the world at the time. Not satisfied with several super yachts, he also commissioned the construction of the world's largest super yacht. There was no need to mention his mansions. He even bought a ski resort just to ski occasionally. As they spoke, the shipyard's executives also came out to greet them. Abramovich said, "Shall we go to the dock to see the yacht first?" Wang Zixuan smiled and said, "Let's sign the contract first, and then we can go see it. I can't wait to become its owner." In the past, others had considered him a tycoon, as he had bought Chelsea for over £100 million in just a few minutes. Now, Abramovich was seeing what a real tycoon was like, as he was willing to spend over £700 million without even seeing the item. In fact, Wang Zixuan had already seen the photos; he just hadn't seen the real thing. However, he trusted Adolf von Frank's judgment. If Adolf von Frank approved of it, it couldn't be wrong. Indeed, Wang Zixuan had come to Hamburg to buy the current world's largest super yacht, the Eclipse, which Abramovich had commissioned. The super yacht Wang Zixuan had ordered had just started construction and would take several years to complete. Of course, he wanted to find something to play with in the meantime. The Eclipse was commissioned by Abramovich four years ago with the goal of surpassing the Dubai, owned by the Emir of Dubai, to become the world's largest super yacht. The initial price was over £300 million, but the Germans seemed to want to make the Eclipse not just the world's longest yacht but a perfect work of art. The construction schedule was repeatedly delayed, and the cost kept rising, from the initial £300 million to the current £700 million, doubling the price. If it had been two years ago, Abramovich might have bought it with a frown, but the financial crisis had significantly reduced his wealth. Now, Abramovich's net worth was only $11.2 billion, and the yacht cost $1.086 billion, almost a tenth of his net worth. Moreover, another super yacht, the Luna, which he had commissioned, was also nearing completion. Although not as large as the 168-meter Eclipse, the 114-meter Luna was still among the top 20 private yachts in the world. If it had been 2008, when he had a net worth of $23.5 billion, he wouldn't have minded receiving both super yachts and keeping his 50-meter Whisper yacht to form his yacht fleet. However, after being hit hard by the financial crisis, the simultaneous completion of the Eclipse and Luna became a hot potato for him, as his various businesses needed investment. After the construction costs of the Eclipse increased again, Abramovich angrily asked the German shipyard to find a buyer for the world's largest and most expensive super yacht. Adolf von Frank was a shareholder in the shipyard. He originally didn't think much of Abramovich, considering it a desecration to measure this perfect work of art by price. When he heard that Abramovich wanted to sell the super yacht, he used his connections to find a better buyer. However, there were not many people in the world who could afford to spend $1.1 billion on a super yacht, and most of the super-rich had been hit hard by the financial crisis. The few who hadn't been affected were busy looking for bargains and buying high-quality assets, and no one was willing to spend such a large sum on a toy. Even among those few who could afford it and liked super yachts, they didn't want to take over something Abramovich had. Why spend $1.1 billion on the world's largest super yacht when they could design their own? At this point, Wang Zixuan appeared, donating over $1 billion and building a golden house, treating money as if it were nothing. Adolf von Frank had already received an order for a super yacht from Wang Zixuan and didn't have high hopes, just asking casually. Unexpectedly, Wang Zixuan immediately agreed to buy the Eclipse as his first yacht, while the other one continued to be built. He had drooled over the Eclipse before his rebirth, and now that he had the chance to buy it, he naturally wouldn't let it go. For others, buying it would be the ultimate yacht, but for him, it was just a transitional item. Who designed it? As long as he was the first owner, it didn't matter.
