Jade Yacht Shipbuilding Company:
Jade Yacht is a fairly new company having been founded in 2004. We were privileged to be able to visit Jade Yacht today where we viewed a video and then listened to a presentation by Memphis, one of two sons of the owner Hans. I believe the video we watched can be accessed at: http://www.youtube.com/watchv=Hi3vJuAi24Q.
There is no doubt that the people at Jade know how to build an exquisite vessel, "capable of leisurely global cruising." A feature that sets Jade Yachts apart from the rest is the steel-aluminum construction that is used throughout the vessel which is much stronger than fiberglass. With a lifespan of 30 years versus the 10 year lifespan of fiberglass, it offers "safe, reliable, luxurious sailing."
At Jade, they know their customers work hard to create a particular lifestyle for themselves. They give the client a vision of how their product will enhance this lifestyle. Selling a yacht that costs $40-$60 million requires a particular strategy. Memphis used a story about hunting goats to illustrate how this can be accomplished through vision, strategy, and strategy formulation.
After the presentation we went on a tour of the shipyard where a yacht was being built. I think he said the yacht they were building will sell for $40 million. That's a lot of money to spend on a boat that can't transport any more than 12 people. Our visit ended with a tour of the family yacht. I have only included one picture because my pictures do not do justice to the awesomeness. Watch the YouTube to experience it for yourself.

We were treated to a delicious 10 course meal from the people at Jade Yacht.

Taking a break on a hot day for some shaved ice which was absolutely delicious:
Is this all for me?
The beach was closed because the first typhoon of the season is on course to hit southern Taiwan and as a result it was really windy.
