Chapter 131: Dassault Falcon Seven X
In fact, from the perspective of practical application, private jets are not necessary for Yang Cheng. Yang’s family has Yuanshan, although it has been included in the retirement agenda, it is not a problem to fly for another one or two years, and Yuanshan Capital’s own business The fleet, including the lvmh group's private fleet in the United States, Yang Cheng can use if necessary. Of course, it is not as convenient as his own.
Recently, she often travels to LA for business, and Yang Cheng has had enough of the disadvantages of public flights, such as delays, long waiting times, and lack of private space.
In the United States, private jets are a very common means of transportation. They are not as high as imagined. There are currently 300,000 private jets available for investigation in the United States, and more than 700,000 pilots are qualified to drive. There are also more than 250,000 private jet pilots.
There are about 20,000 airports in the United States, most of which belong to individuals and communities. According to some surveys, 70% of the world's private jets are in the United States.
Why are private jets so popular in the United States, even ordinary millionaires can afford to buy and maintain a private jet that can fly locally for a long time?
Everyone understands that there is nothing surprising about having airplanes.
But it is not easy to own a private jet for a long time. Parking fees, technical support, crew salaries, various taxes, mechanical maintenance, take-off and landing fees, and fuel fees are all huge expenses. Subsequent maintenance costs are often higher than the cost of purchasing an aircraft.
But it’s not without a solution. For example, many people buy private jets jointly with a few friends. If anyone needs to coordinate in advance, each family will bear the maintenance fee. When everyone doesn’t use the plane, they can rent it under the name of the airline. Going out to make money is also a very popular sharing economy nowadays.
Regardless of others, what Yang Cheng wants to buy is just an ordinary business jet, not a Boeing 787 or even a private jet converted from a mid-to-large passenger jet like the Airbus A380. The purchase cost is tens of millions of dollars and the annual maintenance cost is 12 million dollars He can still afford the cost.
"Mr. Yang, do you have any intention to buy this model?" The beauty salesperson secretly swallowed, and asked nonsense, who dares to ask the price if you have no intention? This is not buying vegetables in the vegetable market, anyone can afford them.
"Yes, you don't need to introduce the model parameters. I know very well that you only need a basic price, and then make an appointment to come to discuss customization options. Are you clear about what I said?"
Yuanshan Capital owns a Dassault Falcon 7x, which is a relatively early model. It is slightly different from the modified model that uses the latest technology, but there are similarities and differences. Yang Cheng has a basic understanding of this model.
Capable of carrying 8 passengers and 4 crew members flying 5,950 nautical miles, the Falcon 7x adopts the most advanced technology in the jet business airliner in the world today - near-perfect aerodynamic design, space-age materials, innovative computer systems and Fighter fighter expert team, 7x has completely defined the performance standards that business models in the new era should have. Thanks to the military gene of Dassault fighter jets, it is deeply loved by the young rich in Europe, America and Asia.
"Okay~Okay, Mr. Yang, the current production price of the Falcon 7x is 39 million US dollars, and high-end customization can be carried out according to the owner's requirements. There is no upper limit. As long as the owner dares to think, Dassault will do its best Fulfill the owner's requirements within the scope." A huge surprise fell on the head of the beauty salesperson. I thought that I was assigned to come here today, but I didn't expect that there would be a surprise.
Yang Cheng nodded, touched her body, only to realize that she didn't bring a business card, she turned around and waved to Hansen, "Give her a business card."
After the beauty salesman took the business card, she glanced at the name brand meaningfully and said, "Find me at the top floor of the 7bryantpark building at 9:00 tomorrow morning. Come in person! Do you understand what I mean? Sophia."
Beauty sale hails from romantic France named Sophia Caroline,
She is a fledgling, out-and-out rookie, but she has experienced the influence of senior seniors, and she has long been prepared for this potential transaction. After all, there is no pie in the sky. Commission, why don't you pay something for nothing?
So Sophia didn't look panicked, but turned away from Taeyeon's gaze, and winked at Yang Cheng charmingly, indicating the deal.
Yang Cheng was purely on a whim, wanting to experience the passion and unrestrainedness of a French woman, and even more want to experience for herself whether a French woman is as proud and literary as she is in life on the boat.
"Oppa, 39 million US dollars? Just buy it if you buy it?" Taeyeon's brain is not enough at all, it must be so rich that tens of millions of dollars are spent. No, maybe she contributed all the house, car, and cash, but she can only buy the fuselage of this plane, and the money for the wings will have to be saved for two years.
After leaving Dassault's booth, Yang Cheng and Taeyeon lost the interest to continue shopping. They left the shed through the door on the other side, and there was a fountain pool when they went out. They sat on the bench by the pool to rest. , Taeyeon couldn't hold back the surging surprise in her heart and asked.
Yang Cheng laughed and shook his head, "This is not counting the tax and customized price. It is estimated that the final transaction price will be around 60 million US dollars."
He was not pretending to be 13, but paying for his own impulse. He didn't know what happened just now, he stopped to ask the price with a twitch of his head, and then placed an order directly with another twitch.
"Wow, I~ I really am~" Taeyeon raised her head, and hesitated for a long time without saying a complete sentence. Her only feeling was that there was too much difference between people.
She, Kim Taeyeon, is also the captain of the Asian Girls Team, and her popularity is one of the best in the team. Even if she can't catch up with Wang Yuner's popularity in advertising endorsements, she is not too far behind, especially in the few years when she reached the top when she was young, she didn't earn it every year. With billions of won, I am ashamed that I am Girls' Generation.
This income is not disdainful to peers, right? At least in South Korea, it is also top-notch, and many medium-sized companies can't earn so much even if they work hard all year round.
But people are dead compared to others, and goods are thrown away when compared to goods. Compared with Yang Cheng, a big local tyrant, she returned overnight to the country girl who had never seen the world and her family background was not superior. They talked less than 5 sentences together, and she had to fight fiercely to buy a car. This psychological gap is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
But she obviously doesn't value material things, and she never compares, why does she feel this way now?
"Why do you have such a loveless expression?" Yang Cheng touched Taeyeon and asked, pointing to her face.
"I don't know, I just feel like I've lived in vain for so many years." Taeyeon had two large characters on her forehead, 'Lost'!
Yang Cheng just stared blankly, and guessed what Taeyeon was thinking. It might not be understandable if it was another second generation, but he was different. This kind of envy, jealousy, and loneliness that he couldn't catch up with no matter how hard he tried, in his previous life appear often.
However, this kind of state of mind is placed on Taeyeon, which makes Yang Cheng funny and helpless. This has nothing to do with character. If Yang Cheng appeared on the stage in a private jet when they first met, Taeyeon might not care at all, let alone envy and hate Yes, there are more people with private jets, and everyone is exhausted.
But when I see people buying private jets like buying watermelons, the impact on the senses on the spot can easily destroy a person's mind.
Some people may think that this kind of people's mind is not the same. Think about it carefully, when you witness your friends buy items that you may not be able to afford in your lifetime without blinking, such as Lamborghini, it is the same as you from the very beginning. Would it be the same to know that a rich friend owns a Lamborghini?
As a normal person, at the moment when a friend pays, he will feel that his heart is not smooth, like a big stone is stuck in his chest, and it is difficult to breathe.
Even monks who have no desires and no desires have been corrupted a little bit in this impetuous society. They tried all kinds of crooked tricks for incense money. Even the abbot of Shaolin Temple drives a BMW and Mercedes-Benz. There are still people who can do nothing without desires these days ? I'm afraid it's just lip service.
Yang Cheng didn't make a sound to comfort her. The best way at this time is to shut up and stay by her side silently, waiting for her to figure it out.
Accompanied by the melodious song, the outermost layer of the fountain began to spray water, forming a circle of low water columns, and then, several circles of water columns in the middle rose into the sky, changing dancing postures with the rhythm of the music, up and down, left and right , a water ballet was staged like a peacock spreading its tail. The rising water mist formed a rainbow under the warm sun. Under the rainbow, Taeyeon stared blankly at the girl playing with water splashes not far away. Yang Cheng also thought about it. Without spoiling this beautiful picture, I ran to answer the phone in the distance.
"Hey, David."
"Jason, there is a change in the cooperation between Paramount and the investor of country Z. Come here quickly, we will try to grab the share. You have to be right. Anyway, the share is taken from me. It is better to give it to outsiders." You." David Ellison said like a cannonball, gloating in his tone.
Yang Cheng frowned in surprise, "Something happened? Okay, I'll fly over right now."
Putting away the phone, irritatedly rubbing her hot hair scorched by the sun, she returned to the fountain pool, while Taeyeon was not paying attention, she snatched her cell phone, pressed a series of numbers on it and dialed out.
"What are you doing?" Taeyeon was taken aback by Yang Cheng.
When Yang Cheng's cell phone rang immediately, she shook the phone with a smile, "I'll give you the account number, you don't want to not pay back the money, do you?"
A joke instantly cleared up Taeyeon's depressed mood, she smiled sweetly, stood up with her hands folded on her belly, bowed and said, "Nai, I will never owe Mr. Yang money, I will call you when I get back."
I didn't expect the introverted Taeyeon to have such a mischievous side, Yang Cheng hugged Taeyeon's pretty waist, "Haha, let's go, I'll take you back, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you later." You guys?"
Taeyeon restrained her smile, and said seriously, "Oppa, if you have something to do, go and do it, you don't need to accompany us."
However, at Yang Cheng's insistence, she was sent back to the show to meet her teammates before driving to the airport.
