They were divided into two routes, Wang Manwen was in charge of the plane, and Meng Qian was going to discuss business.

After a period of contact and negotiation, the shareholders of the virtual reality company have indeed lost confidence in the face of the company's declining business and the development of giants in the field today.

In addition, the assistant Ralph found a powerful lawyer and financial advisor, and the other party finally offered six million dollars to sell the company and all its assets and patents.

Meng Qian, who was in a hurry to establish the company, did not hesitate too much, in addition to having a good name, the company also has a foundation that can be used, and it is worth looking at. For a company that he believed would become a monopoly giant in the future, he thought that the six million was very worthwhile, so he readily agreed.

So the two sides met for the first time.

After the total acquisition is reached, Meng Qian needs to spend 6 million in cash, and then bear the company's 4 million liabilities, and the total cost will reach 10 million, which is just within his expectations.

Once both sides have agreed, the next step is to draw up an agreement and prepare funds. Funds are not difficult for Meng Qian, he has more than 30 million cash in his account, and the transaction can be started at any time. It should be noted that the letter of the law does not want to leave any hidden dangers in the future, and the responsibilities must be clearly distinguished.

After waiting a day, the lawyer came with a reply.

The two parties immediately arranged to sign a contract, Meng Qian will acquire 99.5% of the shares of the virtual reality company in the form of 6 million plus 4 million debts, and the remaining 0.5% will be held by the founder, but as long as Meng Qian refinances, sooner or later it will be diluted to negligible, which is not a problem.

After the contract is successfully signed. Meng Qian explained that Ralph was preparing for the relocation of the company. Actually, it's pretty good in Silicon Valley, but his career is too fragmented at the moment. Going back and forth is a waste of time, and it is better to concentrate on one piece. Moving the VR company to San Francisco is convenient for travel and expansion.

……

After a few rounds, the VR company was finally taken over by Meng Qian. The next step is to expand according to the plan, first of all, funds, Meng Qian has prepared funds in advance, and Meng Group will provide a $150 million investment for VR companies - company investment, which can save a lot of taxes.

The VR company will relocate to downtown San Francisco and lease a portion of a high-end office building as an office. At the same time, the recruitment of manpower and the corners that should be dug in software development are listed as the main plans at present. Managers of the company. Also entrust headhunters to help.

After the funds were received, the VR laboratory was immediately established, and the research equipment, cloud service technology, and system software were all established, and the manpower was also dug up; On the other hand, the company has also funded several patents for brainwave remote control, and has obtained a ten-year license to use it.

Everything is arranged, waiting for the results.

On the other hand. Wang Manwen also helped him properly handle the issue of purchasing the aircraft.

Buying an airplane is Meng Qian's dream in China, but unfortunately airspace control, the number of airports and other aspects can not meet the conditions for casual use, and the take-off procedures of private jets are more than civil airliners! The rich buy it. It was supposed to be convenient and fast, but now it's even slower?

So his dream of private jets was destroyed at home, but it was ignited again in the United States.

There are countless airports in the United States. There are more than 18,000, and there are fewer than 300 in China. The gap is huge. Of course, there are many small airports in the United States, but most business jets run from general airports. Small airports are not a problem, and the two-kilometre runway allows them to take off and land.

He has a budget of $30 million for the purchase of the machine, so he doesn't know if it is enough? I heard that a Gulfstream G550, at least more than 55 million US dollars, has a range of 12,000 kilometers, and he can't afford this class. If it's a little smaller, it doesn't need an intercontinental range of tens of thousands of kilometers, it should be enough, right?

Wang Manwen replied in the affirmative: "The budget of 30 million is very generous, except for intercontinental aircraft with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, you can almost buy it." ”

"What about the kind?" Meng Qian asked.

Wang Manwen handed the tablet to it: "The results of the screening according to your requirements range from medium to large, and the brands are concentrated in Bombardier, Embraer and Cessna." ”

It seems that Wang Manwen communicated very smoothly with the secretary of the black card, and she got the performance data, guide prices, and real pictures of various aircraft, which are pleasing to the eye.

It's just that after reading a few, he has doubts: "None in stock?" ”

Wang Manwen explained: "Business jets are order-based production models, there will be no stock, they are all made after customers have paid orders, and some popular models, orders are often scheduled for a few years." ”

"Then I'll have to wait years to buy it now?" Meng Qian frowned, he wanted to use it now, he had to wait three or four years, what kind of international joke?

"Spot is hard to find." Wang Manwen couldn't do anything, but gave another way: "You see here, the second-hand aviation market in the United States is very prosperous. ”

Meng Qian found that there was information about second-hand dealers next to him, and there were a lot of spots.

Wang Manwen said: "From the perspective of economy and efficiency, many rich people are like you, who have no patience to wait for a few years, and often buy through the second-hand market. ”

"In Europe and the United States, the trading activity of second-hand business jets is higher than that of new aircraft, and because second-hand business jets are mostly spot transactions, its market is hotter than new aircraft."

Meng Qian is not picky about second-hand now, he mainly wants to have a plane, which is convenient for his travel first, and occasionally goes to chic (pretending) and the like when he has time.

So he, like other impatient rich people, only seeks spots.

With Wang's help, he screened out Bombardier's Challenger 850 and Embraer's Legacy 650, both of which were competing models.

The Challenger 850 has the most spacious cabin in its class, with a maximum of 19 seats and a range of about 5,400 kilometers.

The cabin of the Legacy 650 is relatively twenty or thirty centimeters smaller, supporting up to 14 seats because of the pursuit of spaciousness, and the range is about 7,200 kilometers.

Both are good and similar, except for the range. Meng Qian went to measure the map, and it was no problem for the two planes to cross the United States, but if they flew to Europe, the Challenger 850 would crash into the sea at the last moment; The Legacy 650, on the other hand, is capable of conquering large swaths of the European continent.

As for crossing the Pacific Ocean to China, for the time being, only intercontinental business jets can do it. Because the range is more than 10,000 kilometers, Meng Qian wants to buy it, but even if it is a second-hand phone, its price will not be much lower than that of a new phone, and some are even the same, but there will still be a large number of people willing to buy it.

Meng Qian finally fell in love with the Legacy 650, because if he occasionally wants to go to Europe to play, this guy is fully capable of doing the job, if it is a Challenger 850, he can only stare at the other side...... He looked through the spot of Legacy and picked out the most satisfactory one.

"That's it." Meng Qian said to Wang Manwen.

"An airplane made in 2012?" Wang Manwen looked down, the model had flown for 400 hours, and it was still very new. At present, in the United States, the price is 28 million US dollars, which is only 3 million less than the new machine.

"Pretty isn't it?" Meng Qian looked at the plane in the real picture, it is blue and white paint, compared to business jets, it likes all white, it has more personality.

"Okay." Wang Manwen wrote down the contact information.

After making an appointment, they flew across the United States to Florida the next day to see the goods.

Ralph, an assistant, also accompanied him, got into the seller's shuttle bus after leaving the airport, and came to the airport to see the plane in the photo - it was actually larger than expected, and the 26-meter-long fuselage made the parked sedan inconspicuous.

Walking up from the ramp that opens at the front, the cabin is luxuriously furnished, with tables and doors made of solid wood, soft wool blankets laid underfoot, and the cabin is divided into three sections, with luxurious chairs with massage and ventilation functions, a three-seater sofa, and a small bar in the back.

It can be designed with a maximum of 14 seats, but here there are only 12 because the sofa and small bar take up space, but overall it is more luxurious and spacious. Meng Qian experienced the sofa for a while, then went to the location where there was a TV to take a look, and then went to look at the bar...... Satisfied in all respects.

If you are satisfied, there is no nonsense, although the price of 28 million is not much different from the new machine, but the spot is worth his payment - he signed the purchase agreement on the spot. There is no need to worry about quality, because the used aviation market in the United States is very strict, and it is the seller who should be worried if something goes wrong.

The sales manager smiled and asked them to go up and experience the flight.

The distance required to taxi for take-off is very short, which ensures that most airports can take off and land easily; And because of the rear of the engine, the noise is also very small, and there is no problem with normal conversation in the cabin. The manager also said that the formalities would be processed as soon as possible to deliver the aircraft to the customer.

……

Back in San Francisco, Meng Qian's dream of private jets has finally come true.

The budget is just enough, the purchase of the aircraft plus taxes is more than 30 million points, and then according to the maintenance fee is 10% of the value of the aircraft, the annual maintenance fee needs about 3 million US dollars, plus additional shutdown fees, crew ...... He asked his assistant to handle it, two pilots and one flight attendant, as standard.

All that remains is to be patient and wait for the plane to be delivered.

Waiting is indeed a very patient and heart-consuming thing. Itchy but helpless, he counted down with his fingers...... On the way, I also took time to interview pilots and flight attendants, all of whom are San Francisco locals who live close to their employers, so they can move around faster and more efficiently.

A day later, the seller sent the plane over.

"Brother also has a plane!"

In Auckland's general aviation airport, Meng Qian saw his big toy as he wished, and sat on the comfortable seat where his wish came true! He warped. Got up and tasted the whiskey given by the flight attendant, then looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and then went to sit down on the sofa and watch the TV news.

"You just can't open the windows to breathe." Meng Qian pretended to be a turtle.

Wang Manwen sat on the side and looked at him with a smile.

For a billionaire with a net worth of more than $20 billion, an airplane is nothing, what is rare is his true temperament in front of people close to him and trust-In the outside world, Meng Qian has always maintained a somewhat serious and serious image.

After a few hours of travel, the plane landed in New York.

Why come to New York? Meng Qian couldn't say clearly, maybe San Francisco and New York were one west and one east, and they were far apart to reflect the purpose of private jets.

After getting off the plane, Meng Qian pulled Wang Manwen: "The local tyrant has a treat, do you want to go to the Fifth Avenue to shop?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Manwen also revealed his true feelings.

"I knew it." Meng Qian smiled and pulled the car door for her, got in the car and set off. (To be continued.) )
