After several officials from the immigration bureau left, Zheng Xudong saw that there were still people in the conference room, so he asked Vivian, who was sitting next to him, "Won't these people also come to me?"

Vivien smiled and said, "Don't tell me, they're really here for you." ”

After saying that, Vivian stood up and introduced these five or six people to him, and Zheng Xudong knew that these people were Boeing.

"What are the Boeing guys looking for me for?" he asked Vivian. didn't wait for her to answer, Ivanka on the TV screen explained to him: "Adong, I found them." Ivanka on the other side of the TV screen showed a charming smile, "The situation is like this, last year, the White House ordered two presidential planes from Boeing, which is often called Air Force One, and the customized model is currently the world's most advanced Boeing 747-8VIP, they ordered a total of two, but when it passed the congressional deliberation, the congress did not agree, only agreed to allocate funds to buy one, so now I just want to ask you if you have any intention to buy another one." ”

"You dare to detain the president's plane and refuse to give it to you! It's really awesome!" Zheng Xudong gave a thumbs up to the official.

One of those leaders, who was in charge, stepped forward and explained: "Mr. Zheng, we Boeing are a private company, and anyone who wants a plane without giving money is a robbery, even if he is the president." So we are looking for people who can afford to buy this plane, because it is the time when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, so those usually rich people are not able to get up now, and they are crying poor. That's when Miss Ivanka came to us and told you about our plane, saying that you might be someone in the world today who can afford to buy this plane, and it just so happens that you don't have your own private jet. ”

Zheng Xudong waved his hand for them all to sit down and talk, and then he said, "It seems that you have found the right person, but I also have a concern. ”

"Mr. Zheng, if you have any concerns, there are usually not many problems that our Boeing company can't solve in this world. The official sitting opposite Zheng Xudong said arrogantly.

Zheng Xudong asked the service staff to pour them red wine and light cigars, and his heart also moved when he heard their words, indeed, Boeing is not only a company that produces various types of civil aircraft, they are also an arms company with the same name as the United States and Lockheed Martin, most of the fighters in the United States are produced by Boeing, and the weapons produced by Boeing are sold all over the world, almost every country has their weapons, and even countries hostile to the United States dare to sell them, so people are really confident in speaking bullish.

Since everyone said so, he told them about his concerns: "You should know that I am a Chinese, and all airports in our country are dual-use airports for military and local purposes, and they are usually not open to private airliners, even if I buy your plane back, I can't even apply for a route when I want to fly when the time comes, do you say that I didn't spend a lot of money in vain?"

The official didn't expect him to ask such a question, he thought for a while before saying: "Mr. Zheng, your concerns are reasonable, but what I want to say is that our Boeing company is also a big customer of your Huaxia, and your Huaxia has to purchase hundreds of aircraft of various types from our Boeing every year, so our Boeing has a very good relationship with your country's civil aviation system, and since you have bought our aircraft, you are our super VIP customer, so it is relatively easy for our company to apply for such a route." Also, I just saw that you are using UBS's tablet payment system specially built for VIP customers, since you are still a VIP customer of UBS, it is also a piece of cake for UBS to solve the problem of a route. As long as there is no military control or ban on flights in the airspace of any country in the world, it is not a problem for us to apply for a route. Are you satisfied with my explanation?"

Looking at the people in the company, Zheng Xudong was quite satisfied with his answer, "Okay, then please introduce me to your aircraft!"

At this time, the two Boeing personnel sitting next to them took out their laptops and connected them to the projector in the conference room, then dimmed the lights in the conference room and began to introduce the plane.

Through their introduction, Zheng Xudong knew that the cabin space of this Boeing 747-8VIP airliner could reach 4,700 square feet (about 436 square meters), which was as large as a single-family villa. There is a dining room for 14 people, a meeting room, a lounge and an office. The remaining space can be transformed to suit your needs. The Boeing 747-200B family aircraft currently used by the President of the United States is only equipped with 4,000 square feet (about 372 square meters) of cabin space and three floors. The top floor is the operations command room. It seems that this plane is really not small.

The representative of Boeing continued: "Since it was originally intended for the President of the United States in the White House, both the security system and the internal facilities were completed according to the standards of Air Force One, and the internal facilities are very high-end and luxurious, and the price of the aircraft itself is 370 million US dollars. When it came to the price, the representative saw Zheng Xudong on the other side obviously frowning, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zheng, because the US government has already paid a part of the deposit in advance for this plane, and the deposit is 70 million US dollars, we don't plan to ask for this part of the money from you." He saw that Zheng Xudong was still frowning, and finally quoted another price, "Mr. Zheng, my greatest authority is to make another $20 million cheaper for you, and I can't do anything more." ”

Zheng Xudong thought about it, it seems that they have found a lot of buyers for this plane, but they have not been able to sell it, and it is about to be smashed into their hands, and now they are looking for him A Chinese person to buy it means that they are very nervous about whether they can sell it, so he decided to cut a price, and said: "250 million US dollars, I will buy it, because I still have to leave some money for interior decoration, I can't buy an empty shell to go back!"

The representative wiped the sweat on his head and said, "Mr. Zheng, I can't call the headquarters to ask, please wait a moment." Seeing Zheng Xudong nodded, he quickly took out the phone and dialed a number, and then went out of the conference room.

Sean and Vivian, who were next to them, were also shocked when they heard the luxury of this plane, but when they heard that the plane Boeing cost $280 million, they all thought, "These rich people are so capable." ”

Ivanka on TV asked, "Adong, do you have enough money? If not, I have some here." ”

Zheng Xudong smiled and said to her: "Ivanka, my money should be enough, if it is not enough, I won't buy it, anyway, I don't need to buy it urgently." This kind of luxury is not like land and real estate that can maintain and increase in value, and the plane has to be invested in it constantly after it is acquired. So let's take a look at their final offer in a moment. In fact, he also said this to the Boeing representatives in the room. Sure enough, hearing his words, one of the delegates hurriedly went out of the conference room.

After a while, the two representatives came in from outside, and the representative who went to ask for the price sat down and said, "Mr. Zheng, I asked our headquarters, and the headquarters finally agreed to sell this plane to you for $260 million, and we also gave you two excellent pilots and three flight attendants, and we will be responsible for the salaries of these five people for a year." After a year, it's up to you to decide where they stay or not. That's the price of the plane, if it is lower, we will lose money. You see... ”

Zheng Xudong saw that he had negotiated a $370 million plane to $260 million, and it was okay, so he nodded and said to them: "Okay, I bought this plane." "The reason why I chose this Boeing 747-8 VIP, and the most important point is that Boeing can let itself enjoy the same security system as the president, anti-missile radar system equipment, missile warning system, and urine when you think about it.

After hearing his decision to buy the plane, all the representatives of Boeing who were sitting here let out a long sigh, and it seemed that they had been chased by the company's leaders to sell the plane during this time.

The representative in the middle of Boeing stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Zheng Xudong's hand, and said: "Mr. Zheng, from now on you are our Boeing super VIP customer, your level is the same as those princes in the Middle East, Mr. Zheng is very honored to invite you and President Ivanka to visit our Boeing Company and accept the two of them in the sky palace." Do you have any other requirements for the interior decoration plan?"

"Regarding the interior of the aircraft, you can go to President Ivanka, and I respect her opinion. Tell me a little bit more about this plane. He said.

"Okay!" the Boeing representative opened his notebook and continued, "One can't imagine how fast a plane of this magnitude can have, the Boeing 747-8 VIP can reach a top speed of Mach 0.86, even if you have 100 of your closest friends on board." In other words, if your group is still in London at night, and suddenly you decide to fly to New York. That's absolutely fine, you can party on a plane, and when you fly to the Big Apple (New York), you probably won't even have to adjust your watch. In addition, the 747-8 VIP does not need to refuel before making a return trip across the Atlantic. It is like an extremely endurance "air camel", and 9,260 miles (15,000 kilometers) of a flight is within its capabilities. Of course, it also has the ability to land at different airports, and is compatible with the most common ground aids, all of which have greatly improved the usability of the 747-8VIP. ”

At this time, a Boeing designer asked, "Mr. Zheng, do you have any requirements for the interior decoration of the aircraft?"

Zheng Xudong knew that Ivanka's father, Mr. Trump, had a large Boeing private jet, and it was said that the decoration on it was very luxurious.

The designer hurriedly said: "Mr. Zheng, please rest assured, our experience in transforming private jets is absolutely incomparable to other companies, Miss Ivanka should have experienced, we modified Mr. Trump's Boeing 757, Mr. Trump is very satisfied... I saw Ivanka nodding at him on TV.

"So, about the interior renovation, you can ask President Ivanka. He thought to himself that it would be better to leave professional things to professionals, and women are strong in this regard.

Ivanka on the TV heard that she was in charge of the interior decoration, and she was so happy that she also adjusted her sitting posture and said to the designers of Boeing with the attitude of a hostess: "Let me tell you about the specific matters about the transformation of this plane, you can remember it, it may be more... ”
