Many people in future generations may have heard that so and so rich bought Gulfstream G550 or 650. In fact, many people may not know that Gulfstream 550 is renamed after the new century.
In the 1990s, it was directly named after Gulfstream I-V, and there was an improved version, such as Gulfstream iv-sp, Gulfstream v-sp, etc.
Until Gulfstream was acquired by general dynamics in 1999, Gulfstream renamed its Gulfstream Series in 2002.
For example, Gulfstream Ⅳ is named G300, Ⅳ - SP is named g400, Gulfstream Ⅴ is named G500, and Ⅴ - SP is named G550. These are the names of Gulfstream series familiar to many people in future generations, such as Shuangma and Liu qiangdong in China, and private aircraft seem to be Gulfstream series.
"I've decided to choose this one. I don't know if I can accept the reservation now!" After getting off the plane, Kenny said excitedly to Li Feng.
"I'm really rich. I'm a little short of money recently. I'm burning money." Li Feng then replied helplessly.
"Oh, John, you don't have to pay the full price directly for this reservation." Kenny interrupted.
……
Through Kenny's explanation, we know that this reservation only needs to pay a reservation fee. After all, the Gulfstream V has not even approved the Federal Aviation certificate. It will be at least 1 or 2 years before it can be officially sold. The current reservation fee is up to several million, which is equivalent to booking a quota.
Hearing Kenny say so, Li Feng immediately relaxed. Although the price of aircraft is really expensive, according to Gulfstream, the ex factory price of Gulfstream V is about 35 million. When the decoration and interior decoration are completed, it is estimated that it is generally about 40-45 million.
In this way, under Kenny's deception, Li Feng made a reservation of 2 million and bought a quota. He said that after Gulfstream V got the certificate of federal airlines, he could buy the first batch of the latest private aircraft.
"Boss, don't you want to have a plane to use now? It will take 1 or 2 years. Do you have to wait?" Zhou Jiana asked next to Li Feng.
Zhou Jiana's words awakened Li Feng. Yes, I'm going to order one directly this time. It's best to have it in stock and buy something that can be used directly. That's what I need.
Similarly, Zhou Jiana's words also brightened the eyes of Gulfstream staff who had signed a reservation contract with Li Feng.
……
"Mr. Li, you want a plane that can be used directly, don't you?"
"Originally, I had such an idea, but I have signed a reservation contract. What should I do?" Li Feng thought about the next way.
"Mr. Li, do you mind accepting the aircraft ordered by others? Recently, we have a customer who ordered a Gulfstream iv-sp in 1995. Unfortunately, due to the Waterloo of the customer's business, we can't get enough funds to settle the payment, so the aircraft is now in good condition and hasn't been handed over yet."
"You mean I can take this plane?"
"Of course, don't stay as long as you don't mind." Then he took out the information of the plane and introduced it to Li Feng.
"John, you won't buy one directly?" Seeing the current situation, Kenny immediately asked Li Feng in a daze.
"Well... I feel I need one recently. I wanted to buy one that can be used directly. If I don't know when to wait for Gulfstream V, I'll have a look."
It was obvious that Li Feng wanted to buy directly again. Kenniton was speechless.
"You can buy several private planes. It's too strong!"
He also raised his thumb to admire Li Feng. At the same time, he went to Li Feng's side and helped him get up.
……
After the explanation of Gulfstream staff, Li Feng knew that the Gulfstream iv-sp was decided by the boss of a real estate company. It was completely completed and the cost was 35 million US dollars.
Unfortunately, the boss was recently urged by the bank to pay the remaining funds, so he discussed with Gulfstream to help transfer. Originally, Gulfstream was to be confiscated directly, but this one had something to do with a shareholder of Gulfstream's board of directors. After negotiation, Gulfstream agreed to help contact customers.
Unfortunately, I contacted several before, but I heard that it has been completed. I'm not very interested. After all, even the billionaires may only have one private plane. I hope to participate in it myself.
The parameters of Gulfstream iv-sp are not much different from V except that the fuselage is more than 2m shorter than V and the range is only 7800 km. It seems that 7800 km can basically fly across continents and oceans.
As for the interior decoration, Li Feng doesn't mind much. Of course, he can't exaggerate.
When Li Feng said he wanted to know more about the situation and see the plane, the deputy general manager in charge of sales appeared next to Li Feng again a little while ago. Obviously, he paid enough attention to customers like Li Feng.
After all, even a top private aircraft manufacturer such as Gulfstream, it is difficult to have the opportunity to meet a tycoon such as Li Feng. Buying an aircraft is like buying a toy. One can buy two, although one is only booked.
At the same time, Li Feng's extravagant spending made everyone around him speechless. Although he had expected for a long time, he was still a little surprised.
……
"John, think again. After all, even if it's new, it's only waiting for 1 or 2 years at most. There's no need to buy it in such a hurry." Charlize was persuasive at this time.
"Sally, it's nothing. It's been one or two years since the new plane arrived. It's a big deal. When the new plane arrives, this one will be used for you. You often have to fly around the world, which is just right.
The new plane, with a longer flight range, is suitable for my business contacts and global direct flights. " Li Feng then smiled and said to Charlize.
Sure enough, hearing Li Feng's words, the South African diamond was immediately moved. Li Feng obviously felt that the South African Diamond held his hand harder and only used his hand in his arms, which made Li Feng feel the softness of the beauty's chest.
Naturally, Kenny gave Li Feng a thumbs up and his face was filled with a smile that men understand.
Zhou Jiana, the little assistant, didn't say much. Although he still showed envious eyes and looked at Li Feng for a few times, Li Feng apologized a little and passed.
"Mr. Li, you are really..." the vice president of Gulfstream also praised Li Feng.
……
Then, led by the Gulfstream staff, the group went to the aircraft warehouse and saw the completed Gulfstream iv-sp, with a white fuselage and luxurious interior, which is actually similar to the internal structure of the previous v.
However, the interior felt a little heavy. It was estimated that the former owner was too old. Therefore, Li Feng put forward some requirements and preferred the interior to be younger and a little colorful.
Naturally, no matter Charles, Zhou Jianna or Kenny put forward some suggestions, Li Feng decided after discussing with Gulfstream.
Next, it's natural to bargain. Li Feng will not transfer it according to the original price. Next, Li Feng gives full play to the bargaining level of Chinese people. From Gulfstream V, it's about to come out, which will naturally reduce the price.
From no one is willing to take over to only one is willing, it can be seen that it is still troublesome for you to sell on your behalf, and you will spend a day's cost every day you stop. After all, the aircraft needs maintenance.
Then, naturally, there was a flurry of words. Finally, Li Feng said he could pay in cash and directly. Finally, an agreement was reached. When all the transformation was completed, a one-time transaction of US $30 million was concluded.
In this way, Li Feng showed everyone his local tyrant. Private planes are just two at a time, which is the rhythm of preparing to fly one in the sky and park one on the ground.
……
As for the transformation, according to Gulfstream, as long as the aircraft fuselage is painted with the "century Lee's" logo and a batch of interiors are replaced, it can be delivered in 2-3 weeks at most.
Yes, Li Feng directly marked his group name and his last name on the plane.
