Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 89 Ordering an Airplane

  As a result, after the auction ended, An Feng really sat with his opponent Fatty.

   It's not that friends don't get together.

  The location is in the restaurant on the upper floors of the venue, with an elegant style and a relaxed atmosphere. Only VIP members or black gold card holders like An Feng can enter.

  Roger is responsible for the introduction: "Bob, Bombardier's vice president of sales in the western United States. Bruce, a visionary investor."

  Bob shook hands with An Feng and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Bruce."

   "Me too." An Feng smiled, as if the price just now did not affect their friendship at all.

  Bob may have a generous heart and a fat body, or generosity is the standard for businessmen. All that can bring you benefits is God. So he had a good chat with "God", from watch collection to jewelry, watch "God" doesn't know much, but diamonds, even ten Bobs can't compare with "God".

Why? Because he has been thinking about how to squeeze diamonds to benefit mankind.

  An Feng's knowledge in this area is integrated into the future, and he has a very deep understanding of diamonds. If he studies for half a year, he can become a diamond appraiser. Bob said with admiration: "Bruce, if there is a chance next time, I would like to invite you to participate in the gem collection exhibition in our small circle, and exchange ideas with each other. Are you interested?"

   "No problem, if there is enough time, I will." Look at An Feng's words, the answer is standard enough, a typical busy business tycoon.

  Bob has no doubts at all. Of course, business tycoons don’t have much time, and they have to fly around all day to discuss business?

   Then they chatted about airplanes.

  An Feng had experience with Bombardier several times. At first, Mrs. Sinclair’s Challenger 850, followed by a leased Challenger 300, and other brands. Bombardier generally feels good to him, and is so well-known in its native Canada that it's seen as "Canada's answer to General Electric."

Bob talked eloquently in this regard: "Our development in the field of intercontinental aircraft is extremely rapid. While pursuing range and speed, we also take into account comfort. It can be said that as long as you want, you can move your luxurious office to There is no problem at all in the sky."

  Roger moderately commented: "Bombardier is really capable in the luxury field."

As a result, An Feng was moved by what he said, because the other party considered that it was recommended by Roger, the name of the Blueline family was very strong in the circle, and An Feng seemed to be a rich man with good money. Expressed his attitude: the order can be arranged a little earlier.

  Ordering a private business jet is not as simple as buying a helicopter from Anfeng, you can pick and buy from stock. You need to personalize a business jet first, place an order, and then set up a special team to make it. It is estimated that you will have to wait three to four years. After the plane arrives, the day lily may be cold.

  Looking at Bob's face full of sincerity, An Feng smiled and said, "I will give you an answer within two days."

   "It's okay, the top luxury aircraft really need careful consideration." Bob also had a smile on his face, raised his glass and touched An Feng.

  …

  The second day after returning home, An Feng was leaning on the sofa playing with the famous watch he had bought at a huge price, but he was thinking about other things. Indeed, Bob's words moved him, and he had been planning to buy an airplane. Of course, he doesn't have enough money to pay now, but needs to combine the future.

  He cast such a big net, whether it is repaying loans or other things, as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, he will definitely make a lot of money in more than two years, and his net worth will double. If you use the usual way of thinking of the oriental people, it may not be worthwhile to wait until you really have money before considering enjoying things.

  For example, if you have money after two years and then book a plane, doesn’t that mean you have to wait another two or three years? But if you order now, the plane will almost arrive in two years when you have money. Wouldn't this be more efficient? After thinking about it, An Feng felt that it would be no problem to make a little money in a short period of time.

   So he calls Bob, advances the future.

  That afternoon, An Feng showed up at Santa Monica Airport in a helicopter and got off the plane to meet Bob. The plane he arranged had also parked at the airport. From the outside, it was not a small business jet. Bob asked him to board first, and An Feng stepped up the gangway. The interior of the plane was luxurious and spacious.

  Bob introduced: "This is the Global 7000 of the Global Express series, an intercontinental aircraft. Among competitors in the same field, its fuselage width is at the forefront."

  Bob must have done his homework, and guessed that Anfeng’s intention to purchase is an intercontinental plane, so he directly asked the company to drive the Global 7000 to match what he liked.

An Feng visited the cabin layout of the plane. The cabin is divided into two parts. The first part is a comfortable first-class seat, which is also an office area. Soft woolen carpets are laid under the feet, and the latter part is a leisure and entertainment area. A set is enough There are leather sofas for five people, and there are flat-screen TVs, top-level stereos and other equipment opposite. In addition, the standard toilet and kitchen adopt a hidden design, freeing up enough space.

  An Feng sat down in the front office area. The seats, which are completely comparable to the first-class seats in civil aviation, are hand-stitched with genuine leather, which is soft and comfortable, and the foot pads can be extended to allow people to lie down. Bob sat across from him, and a stewardess pulled out a hidden table for them and served two glasses of champagne.

  An Feng enjoyed this top-notch service very much. He took a sip of champagne comfortably and asked, "I have known about Global 7000 and Global 8000. What is the most obvious difference between them?"

Without hesitation, Bob: "They are both intercontinental aircraft, but the area of ​​the Global 7000 is larger than that of the Global 8000. In terms of range, the Global 7000 has about 11,000 kilometers, while the Global 8000 can reach 15,000 kilometers. The price of the two is the same. , mainly for customers with different needs.”

   "I prefer to fly far." An Feng looked at the surrounding layout, it is indeed spacious, but there is no way to live far away, there are more than 10,000 points from California to China, but more than 12,000 points from Texas to China.

   "Actually, the difference in area between the two is not too big. If it is not particularly demanding on details, it will basically not be felt." Bob said with a smile.

  An Feng has a little literal understanding.

  The plane took off. Since the flight plan had been submitted to the air traffic control office, it was able to fly to an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, and smoothly and comfortably transport the guests to Arizona, which is adjacent to California. Bombardier has an aircraft manufacturing center in Tucson, which basically supplies the aircraft in the western United States.

   Less than an hour later, the plane landed on the Bombardier airstrip.

  Looking out the porthole, the planes parked on both sides of the airport are not only business jets, but also large passenger planes. According to Bob’s introduction, Bombardier’s business is very extensive, covering everything from trains to planes, and its own strength is not bad. After getting off the plane, they were picked up in a Mercedes-Benz to the company's office building, where Bob introduced him to an account executive.

   Naturally, as a vice president, Bob's main task is to manage the company.

  The other party was a middle-aged white man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. As soon as he saw An Feng, he extended his hand enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. An, I'm Brian."

   "Hello, Brian!" An Feng shook hands with him.

   After chatting with An Feng for a few words, Bob gave space to him and Brian.

  Brian warmly invited An Feng to sit down in the office, and the assistant brought tea and water. Every customer who orders an aircraft has an exclusive person in charge and a dedicated team to ensure that every individual demand of the customer is met. After sitting down, Brian introduced the characteristics of Bombardier in detail.

  After listening to some introductions, An Feng already had a direction in his mind, either the Universal 7000 or the 8000, and he was more inclined to the latter, but considering the space, he had not observed it on the spot, so he was not sure. Later, Brian got his idea and asked people to arrange a vehicle to go to the factory.

  In fact, the factory buildings are not far away, but customers generally do not walk.

  An Feng was very satisfied with their performance in this aspect, and let the distinguished guests VIP all the way to the end. Bombardier's factory building is very ordinary, square and square like a domestic factory, but a bit high, after all, the planes are parked inside. When you drive in the car, the first thing you feel when you get off the car is that it is clean, and you can't feel the density and congestion of the factory at all.

  Brian introduced as he walked: "This is the No. 3 factory building, which belongs to the post-production area. There is still some follow-up work to deliver the aircraft to the customer."

  An Feng nodded, and Brian pointed to one of the planes and said, "That's the Global 8000 you want to see, and the exterior painting is custom-made."

   "Very good." An Feng said.

An Feng stepped onto the plane and looked around. Although he said that the pursuit of range made it a little smaller, he could not feel much difference, unless he was a person who was particularly sensitive to space. It happened that An Feng had no concept of this aspect, because every A seat is more spacious than civil aviation first class.

   After visiting 7000 and 8000 models, Anfeng decided that he wanted Global 8000.

Then there is the personalization that takes several days. After the aircraft is built, it is an empty shell inside, allowing customers to personalize within a certain weight range, which means that as long as you have an idea, Bombardier staff can help you implement it. This is the most important thing. An Feng was satisfied because he wanted to put a bed on the plane.

  Flying back to China in the future, if you are too tired, you can lie on the bed and have a good sleep... Does this feel like civil aviation? There are other aspects of the design. Under the recommendation of the designer, the cabin is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The front is the office area, which adopts warm colors and a few bouquets of flowers will make it more warm; the rear part is the small bar and entertainment area. , there is also a large bed, which requires the style of the deep starry sky above the head.

There is also the exterior painting design. Anfeng continues to use the most common and stylish white color. In order to show the specialness, some lines are added to the fuselage to make it look more elegant... Finally, the designer gave the computer drawings to the He saw, and after a few more details were revised, it took four days to finally decide to come to an agreement in this style.

   According to the contract, Anfeng needs to pay a deposit of 3 million U.S. dollars first, and the cost of the entire aircraft will exceed 70 million U.S. dollars. Bob helped him jump in the line, and it is expected to be manufactured in two years. After debugging, it will be delivered to An Feng, and the payment will be settled together at the end.

   On the plane home after the end, the burden was a little heavier. In addition to the almost 100 million yuan that will be returned to the bank in more than two years, now there is another 70 million yuan to buy the plane. I found out that I can really make a fuss. I have done so many things in the first year since I came to the United States, and there are two years left. I don’t know what else I will do.
