In the boiling public opinion, on March 2, Fang Jianhui appeared in Seattle in a low-key manner.

Twentieth Century Fox went public with a closing price of $49.66 on the first day, and since then, the price has gradually increased, reaching as high as $60 and now hovering around $55.

Fang Jianhui plans to cash out 5 million shares, and at this price, the actual cash amount will reach $250 million, exceeding the original expectation of about $50 million.

The announcement of the reduction of holdings made it clear that the purpose of Fang Jianhui's cash-out was to 'improve living conditions', and as a man, he must be a man, and he came to Seattle to improve his living conditions.

US$250 million, excluding the US$50 million down payment for the Shek O Lao Wo project and the remaining US$130 million in the next two years, leaving US$70 million. With so much money in hand, Fang Jianhui immediately thought that it was time to buy a special plane.

Boeing Aircraft Seattle headquarters.

Mr. Wilson, CEO of Boeing Aircraft Company, personally received Fang Jianhui and his delegation, accompanied by Mr. Wilson, Fang Jianhui visited the final assembly workshop of Boeing aircraft, and watched the assembly process of Boeing aircraft in the six-storey workshop.

"Wow! This plane is so big!"

"How can you drive such a big plane?"

Fei Wenfang and Bai Annie shouted along the way, Fang Jianhui just laughed and didn't stop it, both of them are still young, especially Fei Wenfang, who is only sixteen years old.

In the luxurious reception room, Boeing's sales director introduced the company's current main models to Fang Jianhui and his entourage:

Boeing 707: Carrying 180 passengers, it is the world's first commercial jumbo jet. It made its first flight in 1957 and began production in 1958.

Boeing 727: With a maximum passenger capacity of 189 passengers, it is currently the largest jet airliner in production, with a range of 4,300 kilometers and two sub-models, the 727-100 and 727-200.

Boeing 737: The maximum passenger capacity is 118 passengers, the range is 4000 km, and there are two sub-models of 737-100 and 737-200, and the 737-300 model is under development.

Boeing 747: With a maximum passenger capacity of 560 passengers and a maximum range of 13,000 km, it can perform long-haul flights across continents.

After the introduction, Fei Wenfang asked, "The biggest is 747?"

"Yes. The sales director politely replied: "The Boeing 747 is the world's first wide-body airliner, not only the largest aircraft of Boeing, but also the largest passenger aircraft in the world. ”

"Oh. Fei Wenfang said: "That's it, brother, then buy this." ”

Fang Jianhui said: "Okay, listen to Fangfang, if we want to buy it, we will buy the biggest." ”

Mr. Director sweated for a moment, and complained frantically in his heart: This is a big plane, not a toy, do you want to be so casual! Such a big thing, just listen to such a little girl casually, Mr. Fang, how did you become the richest man?

Fei Wenfang asked again: "Mr. Director, when will this plane be delivered?"

"If you place your order now, you can expect it to be delivered in a year. ”

Vivien Fang complained, "Ah, why is it so long?"

The director secretly wiped a cold sweat: "Miss Vivian, unlike other commodities, the plane is produced after receiving an order, and there is no stock in the company." ”

"Oh, can that speed things up a bit?"

"This one is a bit difficult, our order is already lined up. ”

"Can't you cut the line? We can add some money. ”

“...”

"Fangfang!" Fang Jianhui stopped Fei Wenfang and said to the director: "Tell us about this 747 in detail!"

"Okay, Mr. Fang. ”

Mr. Superintendent cheered up and began to introduce.

Boeing 747, currently has three sub-models, namely 747-100, 747-200 and 747-300, of which, 747-300 is the latest model, which began research and development in 1980, made its first flight in October 1982, and was first delivered in March 1983.

The main performance parameters of the Boeing 747-300:

The height is 19.4 meters, the length is 70.6 meters, and the wingspan is 64.4 meters.

Maximum passenger capacity: 560 people, maximum cruising speed: 977 km / h, maximum range: 13000 km. Maximum take-off weight: 400 tons.

Fei Wenfang said: "We can carry more than 500 people! We don't need to carry so many people." ”

"Boeing 747-300 aircraft, cabin width: 6.1 meters, cabin length: 62 meters, usable area of more than 370 square meters. Mr. Superintendent said, "We can replace it with the other configuration you need without installing the seat according to your requirements." ”

"Gee, can you design your own cabin?"

Mr. Superintendent nodded yes.

Fei Wenfang said happily: "Then you must get a bedroom and a bathroom." ”

Bai Annie, who had not spoken, said: "There must also be an office and a conference room." ”

Fei Wenfang nodded: "Yes, there must be a movie theater." ”

"And the kitchen. ”

"And the bar. ”

The two sang and harmonized, and spoke energetically, and Mr. Director had a good attitude and took notes seriously.

This few sentences are not clear, and experts need to be invited to design in detail. Fang Jianhui interrupted them: "Fangfang, this task will be handed over to you, and you will be responsible for finding someone to design it." ”

"Okay. Vivien accepted the task happily.

Fang Jianhui said to Mr. Director: "Please try your best to meet all Fangfang's requirements on the premise of ensuring the safety of the aircraft." ”

This costs a lot of money, the director said secretly, he is really rich and capricious! ”

"By the way, Mr. Superintendent, how much does this plane cost?" asked Fei Wenfang.

The director wiped his sweat again: "The Boeing 747-300, including the necessary training costs, has a total price of $83 million. Also, there are some additional costs because you have to design the cabin layout separately. ”

"It's so expensive?" Fei Wenfang said cutely: "Mr. Director, can it be cheaper? For example, remove the 3 million fraction?"

Mr. Director wiped his sweat and said, "This is our company's unified quotation, and I can't help it." ”

Fei Wenfang was helpless: "It's a little expensive, but fortunately, my brother can afford it." ”

Of course we know that your brother will pay for it! Otherwise, who will have the time to answer you?" Mr. Superintendent roared inwardly.

"Brother, there is a question you have thought about. Fei Wenfang said: "Who is going to drive this plane? Also, where is such a big thing usually placed?"

Fang Jianhui said: "Looking for a pilot." ”

Mr. Superintendent said, "Of course, the plane is placed at the airport. In addition, the usual maintenance work can be entrusted to the airline. ”

Fei Wenfang said: "I'm relieved." ”

'You're relieved', Mr. Director couldn't help but complain again, 'When have you ever been worried!'

However, for Mr. Director, Fang Jianhui is a tyrant and refreshing, which is also rare in the world.

Such a big thing, for someone else, how can you investigate and demonstrate for a few months, and then compare the performance parameters in detail, when buying, it must be verbose, after a long period of negotiation, it takes half a year before and after a common thing.

It's like Fang Jianhui, just talk about it casually, like buying a toy, and it will be settled in half a day.

After walking out of Boeing and getting into the car, Fei Wenfang said: "Brother, I didn't expect it to take so long to buy a plane!"

"yes. Fang Jianhui hadn't thought of this question beforehand.

"370 square meters, how should I design it?" Fei Wenfang began to worry.

Fang Jianhui reminded her: "Fangfang, on this issue of cabin design, you have to ask for the opinions of your four sisters, don't make your own decisions about everything." ”

"yes, got it. ”

"Next, let's look at helicopters and yachts. ”

It took another half a day for Fang Jianhui to order two yachts and a helicopter, with a total investment of 10 million US dollars, which is expected to be delivered in half a year.

After improving his living conditions, Fang Jianhui returned to Los Angeles, and his interview was about to begin.
