Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 350 Buying a Yacht, Rheinmetall (Please subscribe!)

"My dear, I leave this matter to you."

After confirming that this was the place, Xia Yu prepared to become a hands-off shopkeeper.

In other words, the castle itself was bought to Liv and was just used as a branch office.

Give it a good look inside and out so it can be used for their wedding in a few years.

"If you want money, just swipe this card."

Xia Yu said, taking out a VIP card from Maoguo Industrial Bank from the card bag.

What's inside is the company's earnings from its deployment in the Sahel region. After paying a series of expenses and various payments, there are about 500 million euros left, which is enough to buy a castle, land and renovate it.

He also has a Swiss bank card in his offshore Euro account, which is worth almost 2000 million, which is definitely enough to spend in Dusseldorf.

"That was the price several years ago, and it should be able to be reduced a bit now."

In fact, fortunately, this company still has quite a few German employees, not to mention that their combat effectiveness can fully meet our own needs.

"The garage is just one aspect. Don't you think it would be cool to have a doomsday shelter? That means there is a ready-made one here, otherwise I would have to dig it myself."

After seeing the structural diagram of the bunker, Xia Yu had a plan in mind.

"What you like is indeed different from ours. Even I, the meerkat, am a burrowing animal."

He remembered that ostriches obviously only have two toes!

If our own people don't live up to expectations, or can't live up to expectations, then there will only be cheap foreigners.

The stables on the other side of the castle can park tanks, but a section of stone arch bridge blocks the way. No matter what kind of vehicle it is, it can only be parked in the open air, so it is better to park it at the end of the bunker.

"Biological invasion, I think in a few years, we will have the obligation to solve local problems."

Xia Yu Dayi said calmly.

If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a weasel, follow the weasel. It looks like Liv will be able to run a household.

Liv followed suit.

Regardless of the number of military contracting companies next door, the key is that their quality is poor!
"Sherlock, how do you plan to use this bunker?"

If it weren't for the light infantry of their country's PMC company, as long as the people in the country next door have companies like White Hat, Blackfoot Alliance, and Leclerc, where would they need to cooperate with foreign companies?

Iron Man's villa and Batman's ancestral home have similar designs, and the fire defense branch cannot lag behind.

"Then I have to go back and find dad's shotgun."

Not to mention Xia Yu, his income has risen with the tide, and he also bought his favorite big G!
As for real estate, the renovated old houses in the town are very good. He will not invest in real estate in big cities.

"Hans, why did you suddenly stop talking?"

This .22 hunting wild boar is more difficult, but hunting ostrich is really effortless.

This was an interesting story that appeared in newspapers back then, but I didn’t expect it to be available in the city a few years later.

The main real reason is that he heard that ostrich meat tastes good and domestic breeding is good. However, the craftsmanship is not good and the meat is easy to be fishy and woody.

Before joining the industry, Duomi could hunt one ostrich per month on average. His wings were brought to town and sold to Xia Yu. The ones Sophia baked tasted pretty good.

Later, when Domi became an employee of the company, he ate less. If Germany could hunt it, he could relive it legally.

"Don't worry, I can figure it out."

Xia Yu looked at Hans who was retreating behind his sister and said.

Duomi said after returning from a circle in the forest.

Hans suddenly understood.

"However, the purchase of these two assets can only be done in the name of owner-occupation and then transferred to private military contracting for commercial purposes. This will definitely not be approved at the city level."

Xia Yu said that the matter was on him. As a country that allows guns, Germany has acceptable standards in this regard.

After his brother-in-law, a boss, escaped from the situation of being on the verge of bankruptcy, he suddenly became wealthy, and it was nothing to spend money to satisfy his hobbies.

"Sir, there are wild boar footprints here, and there seems to be ostrich footprints, but I don't understand why there is an extra toe?"

Not to mention cities, states may not be able to do it, and authorization from the federal level is required.

The Three Cunning Rabbit Cave is ready-made for others to see. He plans to dig a larger bunker diagonally downwards in a few years or more and build an escape passage to connect to the basement of the castle.

Arriving at the bunker with the big iron door locked, Hans asked Xia Yudao.

"You're awesome. You spent hundreds of thousands to build an entire large garage. I finally know why our company's garage is so good."

As for whether it will be very sensitive, it is the German companies that are sensitive, not foreign companies like them.

Hans couldn't complain.

Xia Yu said this, but he had a new plan in his heart.

At the Rheinmetall headquarters in Dusseldorf, Chairman Amin said that this was indeed the case.

"I know this. My mother and I talked on the phone a few years ago. I don't know which zoo had a group of American ostriches escape from prison, and then the population multiplied and spread to Mecklenburg."

Liv rummaged through the memories deep in her mind.

"Park the car. The first floor covers an area of ​​three to five hundred square meters. The multiple explosion-proof doors are large enough to park several cars."

"This, which one, I helped carry it. It's several hundred kilograms and quite heavy."

Among the four people present, Duomi ranked first in marksmanship, Liv second, Xia Yu third, and he was the fourth.

If a few more people are added to the ranking, Hans will have to fall back a few places, which is difficult to top!
"Ha~ha~ha~~"

Everyone laughed in a friendly manner.

You have to have some fun in life, and he can't live with that.

I drove back to town before dark, and happened to meet Hannah coming back from get off work after shopping for groceries.

Only half of their less than two-week vacation is left. Xia Yu and Hans will go to Dusseldorf tomorrow.

…………

It is not surprising that Dusseldorf, close to the Ruhr area, is the headquarters of Rheinmetall, but it is surprising that this city that is not close to the sea can host a boat show and is the largest indoor boat show in the world. Interested.

Xia Yu and Hans bought tickets and entered the exhibition center. They were a little dazzled looking at the large and small yachts.

The sizes of sailboats, power boats, and fishing boats here are basically under 100 feet, because these are basically yachts that the middle class and ordinary wealthy people can afford, with a maximum limit of tens of millions of euros.

Longer and larger models are basically privately customized models that can only be afforded by wealthy people worth billions or tens of billions of dollars. The price is generally tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

This would be enough for him to buy several St. Paul ships and build many bunkers. Xia Yu would definitely be reluctant to spend this money.

And such ultra-rich people will not come to Guinea Bay to fish. His value-added services are mainly aimed at ordinary rich guys. Buying two 30-foot fishing boats and one 50-foot fishing boat is enough.

The price can be obtained within 300 million euros. The 70 million is not enough for a 300-footer. The 90-footer is more than 100 and even costs eight figures. The Xiayu is not as good as refurbishing an old ship.

He doesn't have to worry about buying a boat, he can just buy a new one. "Hans, you have so much money, why don't you buy a small boat for fun?"

Xia Yu asked his uncle beside him.

"Fishing is very good, but I don't have that much time. I'm running around with Afika and buying it is just for decoration."

Hans said, shaking his head.

He can afford to buy a boat worth 20,000 to 300,000 euros, not to mention the blessing of the Fischer surname. It is really possible to buy it on impulse, but this hobby should wait until retirement!

"Hey, why don't you buy a big boat?"

He asked his brother-in-law again.

As the boss, Xia Yu has money and time, but he seems to be only interested in military vehicles. This yacht was also bought for the company's business.

"The boat I like is a little different from what other people like."

Xia Yu said his taste is unique.

"Why is it different?"

"This big boat is either 'big' enough or special enough."

Faced with Hans' questioning, Xia Yu said bluntly.

Big refers to battleships that have long since withdrawn from the stage of history. Aircraft carriers can also eject fighter jets, otherwise their status in his mind is really not as important as giant ships and cannons.

In particular, it refers to the kind of big black fish that can dive.

Because the ones with Muhai are more sensitive, they can only go into private collections, but there is a chance for conventional power, whether it is a U-boat from the two world wars or a newer version after the Cold War.

"As expected of you, I know it."

Hans almost applauded.

But if you think about it carefully, it is precisely because of his dedication that the Afika War Museum is successful today.

If Xia Yu really gets these two kinds of "big boats", he may be able to make more money.

As for the news that Hans just came across a few days ago, a ticket to watch Titanic on a submarine was selling for $25!

If we go on a U-boat attack, shoot a few torpedoes, and bombard the deck, shouldn't the ticket be sold for 50?
Otherwise, how can we say that Xia Yu is the boss and he is the assistant!

Hans now had a similar realization to those of his colleagues: the boss is the boss, and success is not accidental.

Xia Yu said that the system is also very important. Without its assistance, it would be really hard to maintain these old gadgets.

"Let's not talk about these things for now. It's all about the future. Now it's time to buy a suitable fishing boat."

Pulling Hans into the crowd, they continued to select until they came to the exhibition area of ​​Arnold & Son Yachting Company.

This is a company from China that makes very good boats. Xia Yu took a fancy to one of their Merry Fisher 1095Fly fishing boats.

"Can it run 37 knots?"

Xia Yu confirmed to the staff.

This 10-meter (34-foot) flybridge fishing boat uses two V8 outboard engines and is easier to maintain than ordinary yachts.

The interior space is also large, with three bedrooms, perfect for offshore fishing.

The price is even less than 40 euros, which is very sincere.

Then just buy two boats. Xia Yu simply placed the order and swiped his credit card, which solved the needs of small families traveling.

If there are more than a dozen people or a larger family, the Finnish Targa 46 is not bad, with a length of nearly 50 feet (15.11 meters) and a price of just over 100 million euros.

The power of the twin inboard engines of 1200 horsepower is enough, so place an order.

After completing the company's business, the two continued to walk around and found that many sailboats were also very good.

It's a pity that this thing is too retro. Xia Yu still prefers a pure oil-burning boat. Forget about this kind of hybrid power that tests skill and patience.

The same goes for the more ancient sailing battleships. They rely solely on wind power and there is no way to start with the autopilot module.

After today's exhibition ended, the two returned to the hotel to finish dinner. They had no energy to go out to eat anymore, but the two guys, who were almost 30 years old, were still young and recovered in one night.

This morning's itinerary was set to go to Rheinmetall, and almost two months have passed.

This is the daily life of PMC company. If the deployment is not completed, there will be no time.

However, after the fire defense scale is expanded again, Xia Yu no longer needs to keep an eye on the scene. He will be able to free up more time for his family, himself, and socializing.

At this stage, he, the boss, still has to be used as a mule, and the offense cannot be done without him.

After breakfast, he put on a hand-made suit and looked at the dog-like, gentle and scum-like appearance in the dressing mirror. No one could have imagined that this was a murderer who had already completed the killing of a thousand people.

Of course, he is his enemy and my hero, and Xia Yu is also an out-and-out defender of peace.

Hans held his briefcase and got into the passenger seat of the hotel's Mercedes-Benz ahead of him. The driver followed the navigation and drove to the Rheinmetall headquarters factory.

Many people came to Dusseldorf to discuss cooperation with Rheinmetall, and it was not the first time for the driver to send people there, but he always felt that these two people were different from the others today.

Maybe his murderous aura was leaking out. Apart from getting a marriage certificate and attending various banquets, Xia Yu really didn't have many opportunities to wear suits.

But in this big city, the clothes are too tactical and not good, so just wear formal clothes!
After checking the guest list, the capitalist Pullman drove into the Rheinmetall Park and went straight to the headquarters building.

There were people from the administrative department waiting in the lobby on the first floor. After Hans talked with them, they were led to the elevator.

This time I met A Ming, the chairman of the other party. The conversation was at a very high level, and I could tell that Rheinmetall valued him.

Respect for the fire defense strength is on the one hand, and Rheinmetall's demands are on the other.

Hans might not be able to feel it, but he had a rough guess as to what Xia Yu had in mind for A Ming.

It was a good thing, but as the owner of a PMC company with background, Xia Yu still had to be cautious and not make any promises on the spot.

"Mr. Sherlock, this is our chairman, Mr. Armin Papage."

"Hello, Mr. Papage, I have known about Rheinmetall since elementary school. I didn't have the opportunity to work with you until I was almost 30 years old."

Xia Yu greeted the other party in English.

He started ordering children's military magazines in the third grade of elementary school. When he grew up, he entered the PMC industry. The breakfast money he saved back then was not wasted.

"Really? That's our honor, Mr. Sherlock. There must be a reason why your company uses and sells modified weasels!"

A Ming and Xia Yu held hands and said.

"Yes, I still remember the article introducing the Weasel infantry fighting vehicle, and the attached poster was also posted on my bedside until the dream came into reality."

This A Ming is an interesting person, Xia Yu couldn't help but think.

"Yes, it is more mature than the Cougar. Even now, the Bundeswehr is reluctant to retire all of them, not to mention that you have modified it quite well. But now there is such an opportunity. The chassis of the Weasel has been verified by the Cougar. technology……"
