Chapter 1496 (1/2)
At the time of Yuan Chengdao's meeting, Li Dong's family had already arrived at Minghu.
Since 2008, Li Dong ordered a private plane shortly after he founded the distant airline company.
However, aircraft is different from other means of transportation. It takes a long time from placing an order to arriving at the plane.
Li Dong's private plane can be obtained in about half a year, not because of the fast speed, but because the plane he ordered was originally abandoned by others.
Affected by the economic crisis in 2008, some tycoons went bankrupt, and those who were short of money were short of money.
Some people have paid a deposit before, but later, for various reasons, voluntarily or forced to give up the order of private aircraft.
These abandoned aircraft, though they were all new ones, were hardly delivered.
But for tycoons who can afford to buy private jets, they are generally not willing to buy second-hand goods, even if these used second-hand goods are much cheaper than new ones.
This is not a discount given by the aircraft manufacturer, but the tycoons who paid the deposit before. After giving up, the deposit can't be taken back.
In order to be able to sell the aircraft in their hands, manufacturers will generally calculate the deposit delivered by the former as a discount and give it to the offeror.
However, many tycoons actually have taboos. Unless they are really in urgent need, they are not willing to take advantage of it.
Li Dong's taboo is not too big. At the end of last year, he had too many things to do. At that time, he was eager to get the plane delivered as soon as possible.
So what he took over was the Gulfstream G550 ordered by an unknown local tyrant in 2007.
In 2009, although the Gulfstream G650 was already developed and even had a test machine, it was not officially put into production at this time, and the G550 was considered to be a relatively high-grade business aircraft.
And the Gulfstream G550 is also very popular at the moment. Many tycoons' private planes are G550 models.
Such as Wanda Laowang, Changjiang Laoli, Hengji Laoli, new world laozheng, including Ma Yun, Fanhai Lu Ziqiang, baidu Li Yanhong, and even the Laohuang family of Guomei
These people, now or in the future, are buying G550 business aircraft.
Being recognized by so many big men also means that its practicability and safety are recognized and guaranteed.
Sometimes Li Dong likes to be independent, but in terms of personal safety, he usually doesn't do anything special.
Since everyone thought the G550 was ok, and this thing was flying in the sky, so when LAN Xingguo suggested that he buy this model, Li Dong did not refuse.
……
Airport.
Li Dong came to see the plane with his family. LAN Xingguo accompanied Li Dong and his entourage to the airport to observe the private plane which had just arrived in China.
While walking around the plane, LAN Xingguo introduced: ”the G550 has a total length of 29.4 meters, a wingspan of 28.5 meters, and a height of 7.9 meters.
It can carry 18 passengers. The cabin is 2.24 meters wide, 1.88 meters high and 15.3 meters long.
It has a range of more than 11000 kilometers and intercontinental flight capability.
In China, you can easily reach any place. The longest distance between North and south of China is 5500 kilometers, and the distance between East and West is 5200 kilometers.
Therefore, in China, the voyage is not a problem, the key lies in the route application and reporting some trouble.
You said that you wanted to build a private apron at Pingchuan villa. This application is very difficult.
However, it is not hopeless. The government still has some preferential policies for the distance.
You will have a lot of business to do next. It is normal to travel around the world. It is feasible to apply for a small temporary stop in the name of distant airlines.
Even if you can't get through, you can rent an apron at Xinqiao airport, which is not too far away from you. ”
LAN Xingguo briefly explained that, in fact, he had said these things to Li Dong before.
However, boss Li has been saying that he is old and his memory is not as good as before. He often forgets things. LAN Xingguo has to repeat it again.
Although, he, who is over 60 years old, doesn't say that his memory is declining, but who let others be the boss? If he says that he doesn't remember, he will be treated as if he doesn't remember.
However, Li Dong was not very interested in these. He took a look around the periphery and then said, ”how much did it cost in total?”
LAN Xingguo glanced at him. Do you really forget or do you want me to report less to make you happy?
Although he was slandered in his heart, LAN Xingguo didn't delay. He replied: ”the plane is attached to the name of distant airlines. There are some tax refund policies for distant airlines, including some deposits paid by buyers before, which are converted into preferential policies.
There are so many different kinds of expenditure, which can be converted into RMB, and the total amount is about 280 million. ”
”That's about the same. I remember you said it would cost about 400 million yuan. You see, the business depends on how to talk about it.As we talk about it, one plane can save 100 million yuan, and the money is saved by every cent... ”
LAN Xingguo couldn't help laughing and crying: ”the previous 400 million yuan was just an offer...”
After a few simple explanations, LAN Xingguo was too lazy to explain, and said, ”why don't you go in and have a look?
The space in the cabin is not small. There are toilets and kitchens.
At the beginning, Mr. Shen made some improvements here, and then he added a small bar... ”
LAN Xingguo said for a while that since Li Dong was here, it was impossible for him to turn around outside. They all stepped on the gangway and entered the cabin together.
The interior space of G550 is not small, with an area of about 40 square meters.
In some big cities, 40 square meters of houses, living in more than ten people are not uncommon, into college dormitories, almost two dormitories are big.
After all, it's not an underground house. In the air, there is such a large private space. Except Li Dong and his local tyrants or senior civil servants, other people don't think about this good thing.
Shen Qian and Li Dong are OK. After all, they are well-informed and have never been on a private plane. Although the interior decoration is luxurious, it is relatively so. It is not as big as the reception area of Li Dong's office.
But Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang have never seen each other.
After entering the cabin, Cao Fang and Li Chengyuan watched for a while. Li Chengyuan didn't say anything, but Cao Fang couldn't help saying, ”Dongzi, in the future, this plane will take you alone?”
In Cao Fang's opinion, Li Dong is too wasteful to be alone in such a big place.
Without Li Dong's explanation, Shen Xi said with a smile, ”Mom, he's not alone.
There are teams following him outside. Even if the number of staff is reduced, the team will not be less than 5. In addition, there are service personnel on the plane.
Generally, there are about 10 people.
Li Dong needs this in his work now, so it is necessary to buy a private plane. ”
Cao Fang said with a smile, ”I'm not saying it's bad, but I still need to save what should be saved.
Dongzi needs to do things. He must buy them.
It's very good. I'll have a look at it again. I haven't heard of it before... ”
Cao Fang felt some emotion. As she spoke, she wandered around the cabin, touching the leather sofa in the cabin from time to time.
Seeing this, Li Dong also said with a smile: ”Mom, the design of the engine room is made by Sisi. You and dad can have a look and give a score. I'll go down and have a breath and come up later.”
”OK, you are busy. Let's have a look at it...”
Cao Fang answered casually, then took Shen Qian's hand and whispered.
Li Dong didn't continue to stay. No matter how luxurious and luxurious his private plane is, his feeling is just so so.
Two years ago, Li Dong knew that his private plane had arrived in China. I'm afraid he had come all night to see it.
But now, the plane arrived in China nearly half a month ago, but for Shen Xi's proposal, he would not have been too lazy to come here.
……
Get off the plane.
Li Dong and LAN Xingguo went a little farther and found a more open place. Li Dong then asked, ”what's the situation with the logistics company?”
LAN Xingguo is now not only the president of the airline, but also the president of the logistics group.
Although he has been engaged in the aviation field, but for the management, in fact, the main thing is to manage people.
Besides, Kong Xiangyu is also in charge of the logistics group. Although LAN Xingguo runs on both sides, he doesn't delay much.
Hearing Li Dong's question, LAN Xingguo was ready.
In fact, Li Dong didn't ask, and he was ready to talk about it.
”Since the early morning of this morning, we have launched a series of activities and participated in many businesses.
Because we said in the early stage that we would like to enter the business of Taobao, we still have to draw out part of our staff to receive the business of the merchants.
On our own side, because wanjia.com will also go online, and our original mall business is growing, now, the pressure of remote express is a little bit big.
In fact, it is not only remote express delivery, but also remote logistics, because we have undertaken a lot of business. Other retail companies, suppliers, including some businesses in the society, have caused great pressure on us.
Today, Wanjia online line, remote express here has all cancelled the vacation, all staff on standby.
In addition, Shunfeng several, this time will also start to undertake the business of Wanjia network, the specific situation, still have to see again.
Mr. Li, in fact, I still want to say something. Look at the business here, is it... ”
LAN Xingguo wanted to stop talking. He wanted to suggest to Li Dong that he cancel the business undertaking over there.
I can't help myself with my business. Now I've found someone else to cooperate with me, but I'm helping to dig out my treasure. I feel uncomfortable.
In the early stage, Li Dong said that he wanted to cut the bottom of the drain, and indirectly manipulated the treasure from the express channel. At that time, it was hard for us to say anything.Now, tuobao has started to set up a logistics company. LAN Xingguo feels that it is of little significance to continue to undertake the business.
