Finally, this customized Gulfstream G550 is priced at 58 million US dollars (about 450 million yuan).

Lin Feng was quite satisfied with this price, originally he thought that it would cost almost 100 million US dollars, but it turned out to be a small half less than expected.

Gulfstream's service to this major Chinese customer is also very attentive, and in order to facilitate Lin Feng's trip, Gulfstream will provide a free Gulfstream V-type business jet for Lin Feng to use during the year of waiting for delivery before the delivery of his new G550 aircraft.

The plane, which is usually rented by Gulfstream for some large customers, is very new, has good facilities in all aspects, and even includes a professional crew of six people.

Lin Feng only needs to bear the expenses of daily use, such as the salary of the captain and flight attendant, fuel, docking, maintenance and other expenses.

For a super-rich man like Lin Feng, spending more than 20 million yuan a year to raise a private jet is nothing.

Flying back to Los Angeles from Savannah on this Gulfstream V business jet temporarily for their use, Lin Feng and Ye Weiyu really felt the convenience and comfort of a private jet.

Compared with civil aviation, the convenience is really not a little bit.

First of all, after the itinerary is explained, you don't have to worry about anything else, the professional crew team will contact the airport and arrange the route, and prepare for take-off.

Secondly, instead of waiting at the terminal, drive directly under the plane and board the plane. Save time.

Thirdly, there is no need to be separated from assistants and bodyguards in different cabins, this Gulfstream V can carry four crew members and 14 passengers. And Lin Feng and Ye Weiyu travel daily, and the regular personnel include assistant Sun Lin and four bodyguards and 5 people, which is actually quite troublesome when they usually take civil aviation.

It's a lot easier now.

Back in Los Angeles, the plane can be parked at the private jet terminal at Los Angeles International Airport for a parking fee of about $3,000/day.

Lin Feng and the others stepped off the plane, an extended Lincoln and a Cadillac Escalade were already waiting next to them, and they sat directly in the car, without stopping all the way, and drove directly out of the airport and headed towards the villa on Santa Monica Beach.

It's a really good experience.

"Lin Feng, how long are we going to stay in California? I think it's over......" Sitting in the car, Ye Weiyu snuggled in his arms and said suddenly.

It's been almost 2 weeks since she went out this time, and since the day she gave birth to Lin Dandan, Ye Weiyu has never been away from her son for so long, and she really misses her son.

Lin Feng smiled: "Don't you video with your son every day?"

Ye Wei said angrily: "Can it be the same? I can't see it, I can't hold it, I feel distressed to death......

Lin Feng thought about it for a while, the main reason for coming to Silicon Valley was to negotiate with Google, and he also wanted to take Ye Weiyu out to relax, after all, she had stayed in Hong Kong for more than a year and had not gone out.

Other trivial matters, such as Facebook's Series C funding round is about to begin, but by this time Facebook's valuation has reached $15 billion, and he is not ready to continue to invest...... In addition, he also wants to invest in Titter (Twitter), at this time Titter should also start Series A financing, and LinkIn (LinkedIn), and now I heard that the fourth round of financing is underway, and he is also ready to invest some, anyway, he will not lose money......

However, with his current status, even if he does not come forward in person and hand it over to Zhang Jing (general manager of Fengxing International Business Department), it is not a big problem.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng nodded: "It's almost, I'll arrange it, let's go back to Hong Kong tomorrow." ”

"Great!" Ye Weiyu happily leaned over his cheek and kissed him.

…………

Back in Hong Kong, Ye Weiyu's whole body and mind threw herself on her son, and Lin Feng had to participate in a series of social entertainment.

Although Fengxing is not listed in Hong Kong, after all, Lin Feng is now half a Hong Kong person, and his current net worth is second only to the Li family, and he is the second richest person in Hong Kong...... , the official shopping mall, for a time the island's large and small gatherings, are proud to invite him to attend.

Of course, there are many more events for various luxury brands, and it is hoped that the world's youngest billionaire will be invited to attend.

Who let him go public this time and cash out 1.8 billion US dollars (14 billion Hong Kong dollars) at once, it is estimated that there are not many rich people in the world who hold so much cash in their hands......

In this capital increase of X Mobile, Lin Venture Capital invested 600 million US dollars. In addition, he plans to continue to invest in some potential companies in the future, such as Titter, LinkIn, etc.

Of course, these don't cost too much money, even if Lin Feng buys a private jet, it will only cost less than $60 million.

He still has almost $1.5 billion in cash left, and no one knows where he's going to invest it next...... ，

A rich man like Lin Feng, a global luxury brand, everyone wants to get together and get closer, this is the real big customer!

In fact, Lin Feng kept this money and was waiting for the global financial crisis to break out next year!

On the one hand, you can take advantage of the decline in stock prices to buy back some popular shares and maintain your control.

On the other hand, and more importantly, take this opportunity to pick up the leaks!

When the financial crisis broke out next year, the Dow Jones index fell by as much as 40%, and countless individual stocks were cut in half.

Google's stock price fell by more than half, from $670 to $262, and Apple fell from $23 to $10.

Not to mention those financial bank stocks, Goldman Sachs calculated that it fell from $210 to $75, the three investment banks of Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Lehman Brothers disappeared directly, and AIG was pulled back by the Federal Reserve with $170 billion of taxpayers' money when one foot had already stepped into the grave. Goldman Sachs' old rival Morgan Stanley was hit hard, losing $14.4 billion and its stock price fell from $66 to $9......

You must know that those financial consortia on Wall Street are the real rulers behind the scenes in the United States, and at this time, copying the bottom can also bring the relationship with these financial gangsters closer, which is very beneficial to the future business development in the United States.

There are also stocks that are used for asset allocation, such as Priceline, the online travel giant, which has increased its share price 53 times over the next decade, and Netflix, which has risen 29 times over the next decade. This kind of company acquisition doesn't make much sense (mainly because it's too expensive), but it's good to buy some stocks as an investment.

Calculated in this way, the $1.5 billion in Lin Feng's hand is really not enough!

In fact, at this time, the subprime mortgage crisis has begun to be revealed, and the Dow Jones index has begun to fall all the way after hitting an all-time high of 14,164 points on July 9, but at this time it has not attracted the attention of the world.

It can be said that the popular listing is stuck at the most critical point in time, so it can raise such a high amount of funds.

……

However, big money has a place to go, but it is okay to spend a little money to enjoy life.

For example, buy a private jet, for example, take a few pictures of Ye Weiyu's grandfather and father, and buy some small toys for yourself......

In the past two years, with the development of the domestic economy, the number of wealthy people has increased, such as some antiques, cultural toys, calligraphy and painting, art collection, these fields have begun to heat up, and Sotheby's Hong Kong auction is one of the most heavyweight art auctions.

Founded in London in 1744, Sotheby's is the oldest art auctioneer in the world. In 1973, Sotheby's set up a precedent in Hong Kong and expanded into the Asian market, becoming Asia's leading auctioneer.

Soon after Lin Feng returned to Hong Kong, he received an invitation from Sotheby's to participate in a calligraphy and painting auction.

Although Lin Feng does not know calligraphy and painting, but the two old men of the Ye family like it, in order to make the old man happy, Lin Feng was still invited to attend the auction, and when he got the news of his attendance, Sotheby's Asia Chairman Huang Lin Shiyun (Patti ong) and Asia CEO Cheng Shoukang (Kevin Ching) personally came forward to receive him.

"Lin Sheng, I heard that at the Guardian auction in Beijing the year before last, you had auctioned Zhu Yunming's "Eight Songs of Cursive Qiuxing" and Zhang Daqian's "Juran Qingfeng Map", I know that you like calligraphy and painting, this time we have a lot of treasures in our calligraphy and painting exhibition, I specially invite you to take a look, is there any ...... you are interested in"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know much about calligraphy and painting, but my father-in-law is an expert, and I also took pictures and gave them to him." After saying this, both of them were stunned, and instead, Cheng Shoukang smiled and said: "In this case, Lin Feng, every piece in the collection this time is a treasure, I believe you will definitely not be disappointed!"

However, it is true that when it came to the auction, after listening to the introduction of each collection, Lin Feng was a little moved.

For example, Xu Beihong's "Driving a Thousand?" colored paper frame, Xu Beihong's horse, do you still need to talk about it?......

Lin Feng doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting, but he also knows Xu Beihong!

Another example is Zhang Daqian's 1959 "Old Tree Teng Ape" colored on paper. Well, Zhang Daqian's Lin Feng is definitely like thunder, and he has heard it since he was in elementary school.

For another example, Fu Baoshi's "Waterfall and Spring Shuang?" is a color on paper vertical scroll, Fu Baoshi created a huge landscape painting of "So Many Delicate Rivers and Mountains" for the Great Hall of the People, when Lin Feng went to the political association, he had seen it many times, and this everyone was also amazing......

Come on, it looks pretty good, anyway, Lin Feng has money in his hand now, shoot it!

4,200,000 Hong Kong dollars, photographed Fu Baoshi's "Waterfall and Spring Double?" color on paper (vertical scroll, 1945);

4 million Hong Kong dollars, photographed Zhang Daqian's "Old Tree and Ape" on ink and color paper (painted in 1959);

2,520,000 Hong Kong dollars, photographed the ink on paper of the painting of the saint Wang Hui in the early Qing Dynasty (16 open volumes in 17O9);

HK$2,500,000 for Xu Beihong's "Thousands of Miles Away" on colored paper (framed in 1935);

Although there are no tens of millions of masterpieces, these are also rare treasures, and if you give them to the old man, they will be enough for him to be beautiful for a few months......

I gave a gift to my father-in-law, I can't do without my father, right?

Lin Weidong was born in the military, and he doesn't have any elegant hobbies...... , Lin Feng thought about it, come on, give the watch.

Lin Feng later bought an antique watch at an auction: a 1935 Breguet Bréguet "3282", 18-carat white gold vintage style, in good condition, 3.6 million Hong Kong dollars.

Since his wife Ye Weiyu gave birth to a child, she has no other hobbies now, she just likes houses, and she originally planned to buy more real estate in Silicon Valley and New York, but Lin Feng thought that there would be a subprime mortgage crisis soon, and housing prices in the United States would plummet after a while.

After spending a lot of money, Lin Feng felt that this felt very refreshing and a little addictive.

Just add a little toy to yourself, too!

Lin Feng doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes cars, but he has been driving by bodyguards for the past two years, and he rarely drives by himself, so most of the cars he buys are Maybach and Lincoln that focus on comfort.

Thinking about it carefully, the only sports car that can be regarded as a flamboyant one is the Cadillac XLR a few years ago, which he stopped driving a long time ago and gave it to Qin Sheng......

Lin Feng thinks about it, the company is listed, and everything is still perfect, so treat yourself and buy a sports car.

Sports cars such as Ferrari and Porsche look too sharp, and Lin Feng feels that it is not suitable for him.

After looking around, he fell in love with a "big lizard"!

Yes, Iesmann from Germany, a niche sports car with the brand logo "Big Lizard".

Founded in 1993, the German sports car manufacturing company has made the lizard its brand logo, indicating that the sports car it produces has the complete grip of a lizard and the agility to change direction abruptly when running fast!

Lin Feng is very fond of the brand's hardtop sports car, the Wizmann GT.

The car has a nostalgic and retro appearance, adopting a streamlined body design that has been popular since the 30s of the 20th century: a rounded rear line with a relatively simple dual taillight design, a projection headlight cluster composed of three monocoques, an oversized chrome radiator shroud and a left and right horizontal air intake on the lower edge, which is dynamic and simple. It is powered by a 4.8-liter BMW V10 engine that can reach a top speed of 310 km/h.

In addition, what Lin Feng likes very much is that although the exterior design of this car is retro, the interior is modern and luxurious, and all the interior of the car uses only two materials - leather and metal. The accessible parts are all wrapped in leather, including the centre console, door trims, as well as the light levers and wiper levers.

And some other function buttons, such as the air conditioning knob, are all "genuine" steel, so that the heat generated by the engine will also be transferred to the knob, which is slightly hot to the touch, this touch is very similar to driving an old-fashioned car, and the communication between people and vehicles is more direct and passionate.

The Wiezmann GT is like a wild beast of the ancients, with unreserved power that will leave anyone accustomed to a wide range of modern electronic assistance systems at a loss.

In the face of pure power, who cares about these things!

It takes courage, guts and absolute skill to drive a Wizmann GT, and if you don't have it, buy it home as a collector's item!

After Lin Feng took the test drive, he couldn't put it down, and without saying a word, he bought it!

4.28 million Hong Kong dollars, not expensive.

Well, it's addictive to spend money......
