Chapter 1168 touched the heartstrings)
Lin Hongfei was chatting in Russia and was waiting, but people couldn't leave. At this moment, he received a call from a domestic company: "Boss, the company in the United States that is responsible for modifying our planes said that there are several bosses who want to buy our tu134 business jet. How should this be handled?"
"..." Lin Hongfei was stunned for a moment: What's the situation?
A few days ago, he was worried about how to sell the six modified planes. Now someone told him that someone had already taken a fancy to his plane. "Welcome to read
"That person has offered a price of 5 million." On the other end of the phone, the office director Gu Guangming, who returned to his job, was trembling with his voice, "USD."
He couldn't help but tremble because he knew very well how much the six planes bought by his boss at one time, together with the patents, costing only $1 million on this tu134. Now, a thing that was originally priced at less than $1 million will be sold for $5 million when it was re-sold. Even if his boss spent 2 million to "dress up" the plane, he would make a net profit of $2 million... The profit margin was 66.7%, and the money was too easy to make.
"5 million US dollars?" Lin Hongfei was also stunned. If he didn't sell, he quickly swallowed it back: he thought the other party only offered a few million US dollars. When the words he swallowed were reappeared, Lin Hongfei's words became... "Old Gu, tell the company, just say I'll go over and have an interview with that person immediately... You fax that guy's information."
Dongfang just did not allow Lin Hongfei to discuss the issue of the D30 engine with the Solovyov Design Bureau. Lin Hongfei went to the United States to discuss the sale of airplanes. Not only did he not object, but he was happy to see it... What if Lin Hongfei secretly hooked up with the Solovyov Design Bureau when he was in Russia? Although the matter had begun to appear under the guidance of the old man, the more careful it was.
When Lin Hongfei came, he was still wondering what caused the construction tycoon Adelaide from New York to buy the tu134 for $5 million. But now, when Lin Hongfei himself stood in front of the tu134 that had been repainted by the modification company, he actually felt a little dazed.
"It's very beautiful, right?" Acton, the designer and general engineering director in charge of this modification, stood in front of Lin Hongfei at some point, looking at the tu134, and was also full of confusion: "sobeautiful! soperfect! This is simply the most beautiful and perfect business jet in the world, Gulfstream, Bombardier, and other jet business jets in front of her. Even an ugly ugly duckling is not counted. Look at her, she stands there quietly, but you can find her in the crowd at a glance, and then you can no longer take your eyes off her..."
Lin Hongfei ignored the literary and elegant designer Acton, who was flirting with a plane, quietly moved away two steps. He felt that it was embarrassing to stand with such a person. But he had to admit that in the face of this modified tu134, he also felt that "the same girl was still a rustic and rustic an hour ago, and was stupid and stupid, but an hour later, after the skillful hands of the makeup artist, she immediately became fashionable and modern, beautiful and fashionable."
If Tu134 was a little dirty girl who had never seen the world in the countryside, now, after the skillful hands of this installation company, she immediately looked elegant and beautiful. She has surpassed the level of white and rich beauty, and has risen to the level of bright female stars.
"You are Mr. Lin, Hello, I am Adelaide, New York, and I am the best construction businessman in New York City." While Lin Hongfei was holding his chin and looking at the tu134, a fat, but not overly obese white man stood at Lin Hongfei's pángbiān and pointed his thumb at himself shamelessly. The bragging mountain sound... Well, it's not a mocking mountain sound. People who can take out $5 million to buy a plane, even if it's a mocking mountain sound, in Lin Hongfei's opinion, this girl has the qualification to brag.
The only thing that made Lin Hongfei secretly feel in his heart was why the way people appear today is so strange?
"Hello, Mr. Adelaide," Lin Hongfei shook hands with him in front of Adelaide's outstretched hand. He, who knew the true nature of Americans, immediately introduced his identity, "I am a partner of Chrysler Automobile in the Republic..."
"Ah, it's you, it's you! I said why I think you look familiar? You are the designer of the Chrysler 300c sedan, right?" Lin Hongfei was interrupted by the sudden surprise of the New York builder. He was also much more enthusiastic about Lin Hongfei, "Hey! Work, you did a good job, I also bought a Chrysler 300c you designed. I have to say, this is the best car I have ever lived in over the years. By the way, I also heard that you invested $650 million to build an aircraft factory, engine factory and a titanium alloy factory with an annual output of 10,000 tons of titanium alloy. Man, you are so amazing, and you are so young, it's really enviable..."
This guy is like a guy who rents a rented house in the capital, and he can make you faint.
Lin Hongfei never expected that he was so well-known in the United States. Did he even know about his investment in Logan City?
Finally, Lin Hongfei finally calmed down the guy who was a fanatical star-chasing man who had met a star, and then said, "Mr. Adelaide, I need to be sure, are you really planning to buy my tu134 business jet?"
"Of course, of course," Mr. Adelaide, a construction contractor in New York, or a construction tycoon we should call him from New York, nodded repeatedly. "Now my business is not limited to New York City. There are my construction sites on the east and west coasts of the United States, but I found that taking civil flights was a huge trouble for me. They were wasting my time and I needed a private plane to improve my work efficiency."
Lin Hongfei nodded in his heart. In fact, in foreign countries, merchants bought private planes and found that the traffic efficiency of civil flights could no longer meet their requirements is the main reason. "I have no problem. I have two planes now. Although it is a little trouble for me to transfer this plane to you, it is still within an acceptable range. However, Mr. Adelaide, $5 million is too little, at least $10 million."
Boss Lin is also very dark. As soon as he touches his mouth, the price immediately doubles.
"10 million US dollars? That's impossible!" Mr. Adelaide, a New York construction tycoon who treated Lin Hongfei just now, jumped up immediately, "Mr. Lin, you must know that your plane has not obtained the FAA airworthiness certificate. I can only use this plane myself. I can't rent it out to make some money for myself in my spare time..."
"It is because I have not obtained the FAA airworthiness certificate that I will sell it to you for $10 million. If I have the FAA airworthiness certificate, it will not be $10 million, but $15 million," Lin Hongfei of course would not be fooled by Adelaide's words. "Mr. Adelaide, you have to know that my 134 can take off and land under the second type of weather conditions stipulated by ICAO, and at the same time, in terms of noise levels, it meets the requirements of Chapter 2 of the ICAO Standards. Globally, it is so big, so cheap and so safe, and there is no such a type of aircraft except the tu134 in my hand."
"That's right, but it's still too expensive. My friend bought a Gulfstream g400, but it only cost $20 million..." Mr. Adelaide muttered and bargained with Lin Hongfei, "Do you think your tu134 is better than the Gulfstream g400 that Gulfstream just launched on the market?"
After hearing Adelaide say this, Lin Hongfei smiled, "Mr. Adelaide, there is no comparison between Gulfstream iv and my tu134. Well, we don't say that Gulfstream iv's space and speed have no comparison with this tu134. Let's just say one thing: Mr. Adelaide, are you sure that the price of a Gulfstream iv you got is $20 million? Are you sure that you place an order today and can get a renovated Gulfstream iv tomorrow?"
Gulfstream iv, that is, the 13-seater standard version of Gulfstream g400, is priced at US$20 million in the US market. Of course, this is the ex-factory price, there are no luxurious equipment in it, just some simple seats, and a "ordinary" aircraft.
Moreover, buying a plane is not like buying a car. When you enter a car sales store and you like a car, you can pay for it to drive away immediately. The plane, especially this kind of private business plane, is different. You need to wait at least one year before Gulfstream will hand over your plane to your hands. If it is slow, it may take one year and a half or even two years.
But this is just the beginning. Usually after receiving the plane, the owners have to ask a professional aircraft modification company to spend $100,000 to $1 million, which took 2 to 5 months to continue the internal modification. The modified aircraft are the private luxury business business aircraft that we see with luxurious interiors. For aircraft of Gulfstream G400, their modification costs are usually about $300,000 to $500,000, which is just a general level. To be continued...)
