Chapter 1686: Black-Hearted Merchant
Private jets soar above the blue skies.
Through the porthole, you can see a clear blue, and the white clouds are constantly passing under your feet, and everything is like a dream.
This is a Bombardier Global Express worth more than $60 million, which belongs to the famous Bill Weiruan.
After flying for a long time, Bai Ningyuan couldn't help but feel tired, and couldn't help but move his body a little, and Bill Weiruan in front of him was wearing loose clothes at this time, exercising on the fitness bike, looking very comfortable.
I have to say that the configuration of this aircraft is indeed very luxurious, with eight large sofa-like seats placed in the cabin of white and dark brown, each of which can rotate freely.
Bai Ningyuan gently pressed the button next to the seat, and the footrest below automatically rose, allowing his legs to get a more comfortable rest, of course, if he really wanted to relax, he could completely put together two adjacent chairs into a bed, but in front of Bill Weiruan, who was exercising, he couldn't do it too casually.
He didn't expect that in the morning, he was still in the United States, and in the afternoon, he had already taken his security team and boarded Bill Weiruan's private jet and headed straight for New Zealand.
In addition to Bill Weiruan, Bai Ningyuan and the security team of the two of them, there was another person on the plane, who was sitting opposite Bai Ningyuan at this time, chatting with him.
This man, John Ramsay, is a tycoon in the American food industry, who dominates more than one-third of the country's meat supply.
The reason why I went to New Zealand this time was because of John Ramsay.
"I bought the island by chance in Auckland's Hauraki Bay, with a total area of nearly 1,500 acres, five white sand beaches and two piers for commercial ferries, in addition to a golf course, 28 beachfront cabins, 41 mid-level villas and a restaurant, swimming pool, squash court, fitness center, bowling alley, Tennis courts and basketball courts are readily available, as well as a special apron and a runway, only ten minutes away from the city center, the traffic is convenient, and at the same time very quiet. John Ramsey gushed to Bai Ningyuan, and when he spoke, his eyes were firmly fixed on Bai Ningyuan, with a bit of hidden hope in his eyes.
That's right, Bai Ningyuan, under the leadership of Bill Weiruan, came thousands of miles to New Zealand, in order to see this island in the mouth of John Ramsay up close, which is also his goal this time.
This time, Bai Ning flew to the United States, in addition to helping Gal Gadot play the role of Wonder Woman, another important thing was that he wanted to buy a private island.
This is not Bai Ningyuan's whim, but a thing that has been planned for a long time.
Since his marriage to Zhang Zilin was decided, as the marriage was getting closer and closer, thinking about the sacrifices Zhang Zilin made for this marriage, he always wanted to give Zhang Zilin a unique gift, and after thinking about it, he came up with the idea of buying an island for her.
There is no need to think about buying an island in China, because what he bought is only limited property rights, and all the land is owned by the state, so he set his sights overseas.
In fact, because Asians rarely operate for the purchase of islands, there are not many people in China who are more proficient in this area, and Bai Ningyuan thought of Bill Weiruan, who had a good relationship with him.
The United States is also a country with a large supply of private islands, mainly concentrated in Maine, Florida, New Jersey, Connecticut, Michigan, Alaska, Tennessee, Washington, Virginia and other places. However, because the average middle-income family can afford a small island of satisfactory size as long as they can afford a middle-priced home, most of the uninhabited islands that are suitable for living or tourism have been purchased by private individuals.
What's more, many of the islands on sale now are either relatively small in size, have a relatively poor environment, or are not developed enough, which cannot make Bai Ningyuan feel satisfied.
As I said before, Bill Weiruan had a very good impression of Bai Ningyuan, and after receiving Bai Ningyuan's email, he just thought of an island that his friend John Ramsay had bought, and he had always wanted to sell it because of his current business reasons, but because the asking price was too high, it had not been sold for seven or eight years, so he contacted John Ramsay and facilitated this meeting.
"I've seen the relevant information about this island in the information that Bill gave me before, and judging from the pictures, I'm still more interested in this island, so I'm willing to go thousands of miles to New Zealand to visit the field, but before that, I want to know first, what is your offer?"
Since the other party is a friend of Bill Weiruan, then he shouldn't be able to open his mouth in the future, Bai Ningyuan thought in his heart.
"$20 million!" John Ramsay looked at Bai Ningyuan and directly quoted a price.
"You guy, I know that you bought this island for $4 million back then, and now you've increased it five times......"
Before Bai Ningyuan could speak, Bill Weiruan over there suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile.
"I treat you as a friend, you can't deceive people like that!"
Hearing Bill Weiruan's words, Bai Ningyuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at John Ramsay, and couldn't help but laugh.
And John Ramsey also had an embarrassed look on his face at this time, he didn't expect Bill Weiruan to actually break through his previous details, and suddenly couldn't help but explain: "You know, this is the price nearly 20 years ago, can the $4 million at that time be the same as the current $4 million, not to mention, for so many years, how much I have invested in this alone, just those buildings, if it weren't for some problems in my business in the past few years in terms of capital turnover, do you think I would take it out and sell it." ”
For a while, he probably hated the fact that Bill Weiruan had just revealed his details, and in the following time, John Ramsay and Bill Weiruan kept raising the bar, and this situation lasted until the group landed in New Zealand, and then transferred to a helicopter and went straight to the island in the middle of the sea.
Because it is not far from Auckland, a city on the northwest coast of New Zealand, when he was in the air, Bai Ningyuan had already seen the island not far away like a pearl in the ocean......
