America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 73 Buying a Private Jet

After entering September.

One after another in New York, it rained a few times.

After these few light rains, the weather in New York suddenly cooled down.

On September [-]rd.

New York suburbs,

A private jet at the airport.

David Jones, Deputy Manager, Senior Customer Service, American Express Bank, New York.

He graciously led Abel and his entourage through the airport.

In this small airport,

At the moment, five aircraft of different sizes, lengths, models, and manufacturers are parked.

last month,
Abel on a trip back to Texas.

I decided to buy my own private jet to facilitate my future business trips.

For some reason, he didn't choose those intermediaries.

I didn't go to the airline company directly, but asked David Jones of American Express to help me find it.

Unlike buying a villa, David spent half a month.

He found several models that Abel wanted to see, and today is the day he took Abel to see the planes.

On Abel's side, Anne Hathaway has already left for Los Angeles at the end of the month.

She took two bodyguards arranged by Abel for her, a man and a woman, and went to Los Angeles to audition for the heroine of the movie renamed "Princess Diaries".

This audition, not to mention sure.

It is also a sure thing.

Not only caa is helping to operate.

Michael Ovitz, the former CEO of Disney, also helped find his former contacts at Disney.

The "ab Smith Entertainment" company, which was just established two days ago,
Also with the help of caa,
Got a 3000% share of this 20.00 million investment movie.

There is caa operation,

With Ovitz's contacts,
In addition, it also brings capital into the group.

If this fails the audition, then it is really a darker scene than a darker scene.

Annie went to an audition.

Become Jessica today and accompany Abel to watch the plane here.

"It's a Gulfstream G400.

When you went to Texas last time, sir, you took the same model. "

Standing under a Gulfstream G400 painted blue, David Jones turned into an aircraft company worker.

He talked eloquently and introduced the situation of the plane to Abel.

"It is a major improvement and development model developed on the basis of the most successful business jet in history, the "Gulfstream" IV."

"With new Rolls-Royce Tay engines, a longer fuselage, improved wings and a transparent cockpit."

"The length of the aircraft is 26.9 meters, the wingspan is 23.7 meters, and the height of the aircraft is 7.4 meters."

"Empty weight 16 kg, maximum take-off weight: 100 kg."

"The maximum flight speed is 936 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 7 kilometers."

"It can completely satisfy any business trip you have in China."

Abel has flown on this plane many times.

He knew that in the near future, more advanced models such as Gulfstream G450 and Gulfstream G500 would appear.

But at least two or three years later.

And he wants it now.

So, he turned his head and smiled at Jessica Alba, who was looking at this beautiful plane with eyes popping out:
"I've been on this plane, and it's a good flight in China. Do you want to go up and have a look?"

Jessica wanted to be reserved.

But it's hard for young girls to calm down when they see things like private jets.

She simply let go of her reserve and nodded with a smile, "Of course it's good if it's possible."

Abel smiled, "David. Take Ms. Alba up to have a look."

David Jones bent down slightly, and immediately ordered a beautiful female employee of the American Express Company to follow behind him.

This female staff member will take Jessica up to see the plane.

Abel and David Jones looked at the remaining models.

The second plane Abel looked at was an old-looking Boeing 747.

The Boeing 747 aircraft appeared as early as the end of the 60s.

In the early 1960s, the U.S. Air Force proposed a strategic transport aircraft plan.

The request was to build a giant transport plane capable of carrying 750 soldiers, or two tanks, across the Atlantic.

Boeing lost out to Lockheed in the bidding.

They had no choice but to try to civilianize the jumbo military transport aircraft and high-performance engines already under study.

The attempt succeeded.

And so the Boeing 747 appeared.

Since its birth, this aircraft has experienced 30 years.

In the past 30 years, it has also been iteratively updated.

From the earliest 747-100 model to the most advanced 747-400.

The Boeing 747 has undergone more than 6 revisions, and its performance is constantly updated.

Let's just say Boeing was before the 747.

It is just one of the better ones among the many aircraft companies in the United States.

The success of the 747 is an important reason why Boeing has become a giant and the number one aircraft company in the United States.

More than 1500 of the aircraft were produced, from prototypes to full iterations.

It is the most produced model of any large aircraft of this size.

When I saw this old, but very large Boeing 747-200.

Abel felt that this was it.

Because it is big, big is expensive, and expensive is good.

The larger the size, the more convenient it is to make some enjoyable things on it.

"Is this a Boeing 747?" Abel asked David Jones. "It should be an older model, right?"

"Yes." David Jones said: "This is a Boeing 747-200, produced in 1982 and delivered to Sterling Airways in 1984.

Sold to a private company in the US in 1991, it now belongs to a New York businessman. "

"Too old." Abel commented with a frown.

David quickly said: "It's just a reference prototype.

If you want, we can get you the latest Boeing 747-400, which is the latest model. "

That's about the same, Abel nodded, "I need a Boeing 747-400 and two Gulfstream G400s.

Keep in mind I want a brand new airframe with a custom interior. "

In fact, before Jessica Alba saw the plane, Abel already had the idea of ​​buying a Gulfstream G400.

Two Gulfstream G400s, one will be placed on the west coast and the other will be placed on the east coast.

Abel, or those who Abel allows, can travel on them when necessary.

At the same time, these two planes are also the temptation he used to fetter the "long-term workers".

Be obedient, and there will be a private jet that you can use casually.

Isn't it more fragrant than the so-called "love"?
And the huge Boeing 747-400 will be Abel's palace in the sky.

He intends to use it as his main long-distance travel tool in the future.

Who told it to be so big.

Big is beautiful, big is good, big is wonderful.

It was as if he actually liked Xiong Da better.

Hearing Abel's words, David Jones of Express Bank was overjoyed.

A brand-new Gulfstream G400 costs USD 3668 million including tax.

Counting all kinds of private customization, it is more than 4000 million.

Two is $8000 million.

A Boeing 747-400 costs at least $1.5 million.

Including private customization, the lowest price is 1.6 million, and the highest price may reach 1.8 million.

This is a service order with a total price of 2.4-2.6 million.

If American Express Bank can win, the commission and rebates from the aircraft company will be at least tens of millions of dollars.

He, the deputy manager who serves Abel full-time, has a commission of at least 50 yuan.

It is equivalent to his salary for one year under normal circumstances.

How could David be unhappy.

But what Abel said next stunned David Jones.

"David, are you interested in working for me? Interested in earning more?"
