"Honey, do we really want to choose Gulfstream or Bombardier? I know that is a luxury among business jets, but their prices are too expensive. We don't need to buy the top business jets, just enough. .”

Hearing what Christina said, Zhang Hao also nodded.

"I think so too. We don't need to buy Gulfstream G650 or Bombardier Global 8000. For us, comfort and performance are enough. So now I think G450 is completely enough, and the price is within our affordability The price of more than 3000 million US dollars is not affordable for us."

For some top rich people, the Gulfstream G450 has already been eliminated, now is the time to pursue the G650, the G450 can no longer keep up.But for Zhang Hao, the G450 is completely enough; he is not a super rich man worth billions or tens of billions of dollars, he is willing to spend such a sum of money to buy a private jet, in fact, he hopes that his family will be more comfortable when they return to China.

Of course, it doesn’t rule out that Zhang Hao’s own travel is more convenient; there is no need to be too extravagant, the performance is functional and it does bring a good travel experience, which is completely enough.

The young couple roughly selected the model, and they also know that there are many customized services for buying such a private jet; the internal layout of the cabin, etc., are actually very particular.Zhang Hao has had the idea of ​​buying a private jet for a long time, so he naturally understands it.

Although many wealthy people in the United States will buy private jets, the top private jets are not Chinese cabbage.

Representatives from Gulfstream came, including sales staff and technicians; because Zhang Hao had expressed interest before, now that he heard that Zhang Hao seemed to really want to buy another plane, he naturally ran over immediately.Although Gulfstream has no shortage of customers, it is just a super luxury product after all, and the service is naturally not too bad.

"Our intention is eight seats, and I need a bedroom." Zhang Hao's requirements for the interior are not high, but they are not low, "I know your seats are wide enough, and our renovation focuses on the bedroom. Our home With young children, I want them to be able to sleep comfortably during long flights."

The seats of private jets are indeed relatively large, but to be honest, aircraft seats must be like airplanes, not only must comply with strict flight safety regulations in terms of materials and design, but also must control weight, adapt to limited space, and meet the needs of long-term flights , and ultimately it is suitable for the body characteristics of various passengers.

To be honest, such a perfect flight and business jet seat has not yet appeared.At most, it is as comfortable as possible, even if it is a large seat, it is not as comfortable as sleeping in the bedroom.

The family has a consensus on this point, and Christina also said, "To reduce the noise in the bedroom, we can sacrifice the space of the cabin and our seats can be denser. However, our bedroom needs to be large enough to accommodate at least three children. able to sleep."

Zhang Hao and Christina said that Gulfstream's sales staff are recording key points. Of course, engineers also need to put forward their own opinions at this time; because the safety of the aircraft is to be ensured, there is no problem with the internal modification, but it must be reasonable.

This is just the first preliminary meeting, only to confirm the aircraft model and some preliminary renovation ideas; the order is really going to be placed, and there are still many things to be done, even the color of the seats and carpets inside the plane, etc. In fact, they are all custom-made by private individuals. Naturally, if you want to buy a private jet, you need a long wait and constant negotiations.

After all, this is a private jet worth more than 3000 million U.S. dollars, not to go to the mall to buy clothes; even to buy clothes, many people have to constantly try on and choose, so it is normal to be careful and careful But that's all.

Yu Xiu and Zhang Jianye were still in a daze. Although they had heard that their son was going to buy a private jet, although they felt that their son was a bit inflated, they felt that their family could not afford to buy a private jet.

But now seeing the sales team of the top business jet coming over and seeing some materials and photos, it is even more unreal.Because this is a private jet worth more than 3000 million U.S. dollars, because it is a top-level luxury worth more than 20 billion yuan, an existence that most people in the world cannot touch or even see.

Yu Xiu patted Zhang Hao and asked, "Xiao Hao, if our family buys a private jet, it won't be used many times, right? I heard that the maintenance is expensive, and the fees are also expensive. It can't be used a few times a year, isn't that true? waste?"

Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "If you buy a plane, it will be much more convenient to go back every year. If we fly civil aviation now, even the first-class cabin is the same. If there is a private plane, Xixi and Xiaolang can sleep in the bedroom , don’t need to curl up on the sofa. And I usually go to Chinook, Los Angeles, etc., and it’s convenient to have a private jet. Such a plane can also park in a small airport in the United States, not to mention that there won’t be too many idle ones, so we can rent it out.”

I don’t expect the rental of private jets to bring much profit, and I can reduce some costs; such things are possible, and Zhang Hao will not put on airs or be poor just because he bought a private jet. Private jets bring comfortable travel Naturally, it is the first, but in order to ensure the expenditure, Zhang Hao will not idle the plane.

There is money to buy a plane, but if you buy a private jet with expensive maintenance, you can still make some money by renting it out.

Zhang Lei called, a little excited, "Xiaohao, are you going to buy a plane?"

Zhang Hao is proud. He has never pretended to be in front of his family, even if he is the father of two children now, "Yeah, now I have preliminary contact with Gulfstream, and it is not a big problem. I should place an order. But we have to see what they say." Normally, it will take about two years. If the queue is too long, then I will definitely not agree, and I will find other aircraft manufacturers.”

Zhang Lei didn't care about this, he asked curiously, "Don't be too inflated, this is not buying a car. It's fine if you buy a million-dollar sports car, don't take out all the money at home at once. Don’t take on any debts. This plane is not a necessity, don’t think about the future like a nouveau riche.”

He wasn’t unhappy because his brother’s words didn’t sound good. Zhang Hao knew it was his family’s concern for him, “It’s okay, I can take it out if it’s less than 4000 million U.S. dollars. The family has some savings now, and I’m going to sell a horse soon.” , Basically, all the funds are in place. I don’t owe bank loans now, and I have invested in the development of the ranch and the horse farm. At most, the saved money is gone, which does not affect my life.”

Hearing what Zhang Hao said, Zhang Lei felt relieved; he knew that Zhang Hao still had the ability to make money.Leaving aside the horse racing, the ranch's increasing income every year alone can guarantee a considerable income.

What's more, even if the racecourse sometimes does not bring huge profits from the sale of top racehorses, the annual training fee alone is enough for people to eat and drink.What's more, Zhang Hao's racecourse not only sells racing horses, but also has a good development of riding horses. A better riding horse can cost two hundred thousand dollars. There are several good breeds in Zhang Hao's ranch- horse.

Zhang Hao didn't think there was anything wrong with buying a private jet; wouldn't it be a fool not to spend money if he had money? !

He is also not someone who likes to buy gold chains and big diamond rings. When buying a car, he doesn’t want to form a team or buy a real top supercar; although buying a private jet seems to be more expensive than buying a sports car, I don’t know. How much, but this sum of money is not really spent by myself, more is to make the family travel more comfortable.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Hao has no doubts about his ability to make money. He is not just an upstart, and he is not thinking about the future.

The happy Zhang Hao was very excited and answered a lot of calls; Zhang Hao's buddies were naturally indispensable, and Barney and Phil also expressed their congratulations.They don't have any psychological imbalance, because they know Zhang Hao's ability; they also know very well that if it weren't for their friendship with Zhang Hao, they would not be living a wealthy life that most people envy.

It’s true that it’s not as good as Zhang Hao’s, but Barney and Phil’s life is much more comfortable than that of most middle-class Americans; although they have to invest money in some animal protection funds like Zhang Hao every year , but the money in hand will also be two to three million US dollars, which is naturally a representative of the rich.

Even if they are not top rich people, they should still be content; the reason is naturally because they know very well that this kind of income is the dream of many people in their lives, because they know that people are more popular than others, so they can't always compare with others, Eat as much rice as you have, too greedy is not a good thing.

"Hey, brother-in-law. Are you ready for my car? You have to know that you promised to buy me a car a long time ago. I stole Tina's stockings for you at your wedding. You promised me Yes, will send me a nice car!"

Adrian was worried, worried that Zhang Hao would use the money to buy a private jet so that he would have no money to buy a car.

Zhang Hao said confidently, "Of course I can buy you a car. It's still early. Boy, you still have a year to choose your favorite car. Of course I can't buy you a Porsche 918 or Pagani, but If you choose a Porsche Panamera, absolutely fine."

Adrian snorted and said, "My appetite is more than that, get your check ready! I am now interested in Ferrari 458 and Lamborghini Gallardo, which are in the budget we agreed on at the beginning."

Unknowingly, Zhang Hao was caught by Adrian, and the budget for buying a car was constantly increasing; although Christina was always trying to exploit it, the price of the car still increased a lot.

So now I am entangled, and I must not give Adrian any more handles; it is true that many high school students in the United States drive good cars, but they should not go too far!
