Dear Reader,
The worldwide economic crisis does not stop ahead wealthy people. Especially the Russian elite have suffered a lot during the crisis. This of course will have an effect to the Yacht-Industry.
Maybe Chinese people are not that strict in showing their richness as the Russians like to do. But during the last months it became clear: Cash is King. And the Chinese are the people with the highest savings rate in the world.
Let us have a look to China!
