Chapter Ninety-Two: Buying a Plane
ps: Get up early in the morning to cast a ticket, and the mood is so good that the day is so good!
Li Yi was tortured to death by this old guy's half-cut words, and when he saw that he was still reminding, he nodded weakly, you can say it quickly, I can understand, I can really understand anything!
"If it were to be auctioned by me, the highest estimate I would give to this piece of porcelain would be 120 million to 150 million!"
I'll it! It's really more than 100 million! Do you really want to buy that plane? Nima, if this is known by people who don't know the truth, maybe how to say Lao Tzu!
Upstart? Does that thing still have a taunt ability? At least nine and a half out of ten people can't wait to be themselves! Li Yi felt that being scolded and pretending to be forced was the most ruthless, because he was ......
Buying a plane? Li Yi thought about it and thought it was too incredible, so he decided to let it go!
Some people always like to say that it is yours after all, and it is useless to fight if it is not yours. ¢£Li Yi has always thought that this is an excuse and cover for their cowardice and incompetence, but today he understands another meaning of this sentence.
He didn't go looking for the plane, the plane came for him!
Not long after he walked out of Sotheby's, an unfamiliar call hit his phone.
"Sir, do you want to buy a plane? I thought, we can sit down and talk about ......"
Li Yi was speechless for a long time, listening to his self-introduction, this person should be the person on the business card given to him by the flight attendant yesterday, but he has already checked it on the Internet, and there is no rich man with this name at all, is it an agent?
An hour later, Li Yi met the caller, Du Xiaoming, in a café in Causeway Bay.
This person looks no more than thirty-five years old, very thin, pale, and his spirit seems to be a little sluggish, in short, seeing him at first glance gave Li Yi a very bad feeling, this guy, can't be an addiction...... Gentleman, right?
"Hello Mr. Li, this is some information about the aircraft, you can take a look at it first. I bought this Gulfstream G200 only two years ago, but because of official needs, I changed to a bigger Gulfstream G350, so I ......"
Du Xiaoming pretended to shrug his shoulders in a chic manner, and then said:
"The total flight time of the plane is only 398 hours, so to speak, including the renovation, basically everything is new. Mr. Li has just sat down and should have some idea of its performance. ”
Li Yi nodded and continued to look through the information, but what distressed him was that most of them were in English, and many of them were still professional words, and he didn't even understand a few words.
"The aircraft was quoted at $14.85 million at the time of purchase, which included a set of fittings as standard. But then I thought they were decorating too badly, so I had them all tear it down and start over, and the rosewood bar cost a total of $2.1 million to renovate. The plane cost a total of $17.1 million to complete the full formalities, and if Mr. Li is interested in buying it, I think I can give you 14 million. ”
As for the price, Li Yi was not prepared to say anything, because it was not possible to talk about this step at all. If he really wants to buy it, he must first find out whether the information provided to him by the surnamed Du is true, and whether the plane was really resold as he said, just because of official business and no other unspeakable reasons, and so on.
And he hadn't figured out how to understand this, so he just listened silently and didn't express his opinion.
"Mr. Du, I need to consult my lawyer, can I make a photocopy of these materials and take them with me?"
Du Xiaoming smiled and spread his hands,
"Of course."
With a thick pile of information, Li Yi stood on the street, wondering who to find out about the real information.
Among the people he knew, Liu Xiong, who was a local billionaire, was definitely the first, but the two of them barely said a few words. The second place is naturally Liu Xibo, who has been operating in Hong Kong for many years, and even if the relationship network is worse than Liu Xiong, it is mostly because of the quality, not the scope.
But Li Yi felt that it was best to keep this matter secret, and even if it was the final deal, it was best not to leak out the process. According to this principle, it seems that the only thing left is to try Wang Haoqing.
Once decided, Li Yi immediately found Wang Haoqing, of course, he did not say that he wanted to buy it, but made up a rich friend who did not have zài. As soon as Wang Haoqing heard this, he took it all on the spot.
"You just wait, two days at most, and I'm sure I can ask you clearly!"
Sure enough, Wang Haoqing did not disappoint him, two days later, in a quiet café, Wang Haoqing handed him a local tabloid in Hong Kong, Li Yi saw that it was almost a year and a half ago, and there was a huge photo printed on the front page, it was Du Xiaoming.
"The rich man has a romantic affair overnight, and the souls of the two girls return to heaven!"
The name of this report is a bit appalling, and Li Yi read it silently, and finally understood why that guy was selling that plane that looked still new.
"It should be true. There have long been rumors on the rivers and lakes that the surname Du is Li Xiong's illegitimate son, his mother was a very famous actress in her early years, and she did have an affair with Li Xiong back then. This kid is also a pervert. Hell, but unlike his father, he liked fifteen or sixteen-year-old middle school girls. ”
Wang Haoqing drank a cup of coffee and sighed,
"What a ruined mother! Two years ago, Du Xiaoming spent nearly $20 million to buy the Gulfstream G200, not for official business at all, but for the plane shock! He held a silver chaos party on the plane many times, but he didn't expect to have an accident half a year later, playing with two female students. ”
"This matter was later suppressed, it is said that it was the hand of his cheap father, and then the plane never went to the sky again, and it was not until not long ago that it was entrusted to Hong Kong Airlines to undertake private charter business."
Wang Haoqing shook the coffee in his hand and smiled,
"I don't know if your friend is taboo or not, if he is really not taboo, he can bargain hard, and maybe he can take a big advantage."
Li Yi nodded, do you need to be taboo? No, you don't! Because he didn't plan to leave the plane at all, as soon as the plane arrived, the first thing he did was to take the enamel double bottle, and the second thing was to dismantle the bar, and then immediately change the plane again!
Wang Haoqing has been busy in the past two days, and he has not been idle, not only did he consult a lawyer about the relevant procedures, but also inquired about the approximate cost of raising a private jet, nearly 10 million soft girl coins per year! That's simply a number he can't afford! Moreover, it is really useless for him to ask for that thing, even if it is used to pretend to be forced, it is suspected of leaking!
Since he decided to buy it, of course, the sooner the better, after breaking up with Wang Haoqing, Li Yi contacted Du Xiaoming and said that he wanted to go to the plane again, and Du Xiaoming readily agreed.
On the plane, Li Yi saw that the double bottle was really there, so he directly began to bargain with Du Xiaoming.
"This price is impossible, Mr. Li, to put it mildly, at your price, I would rather leave the plane ......"
"Mr. Du, in fact, I don't want to mention this matter again, but since my people have sued me, then ......"
Li Yi took out the newspaper and shook it at Du Xiaoming, looking helpless.
Seeing the large photo of himself in the newspaper, Du Xiaoming's face turned even paler, and he was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying:
"Eleven million! This is my final reserve price, and I'm going to get it in three days! ”
"...... the airline"
"I'll take care of it here."
"Ok, Mr. Du, happy cooperation!"
Li Yi didn't leave the plane, he directly called the lawyer he had found two days ago, and asked him to rush to the airport immediately with the contract that had been drafted a long time ago, and he wanted to trade with Du Xiaoming on the spot.
This time, he wasn't going to play any more hanging, so he just transferred the double bottle first, and threw the rest here, whoever has the ability will take a sneak look.
Two hours later, as soon as it was done, the plane became Li Yi's!
Looking at the empty cabin, Li Yi sat on the sofa and smiled bitterly, what is this Nima? It's only been half a year since I graduated, but I not only bought a villa, but now I even have a private jet!
However, we can't relax yet, because there is one more big thing to do, and that is to sell airplanes!
