Chapter 318: Flying to the Mainland
readx;
Zheng Wenyun's envy and jealousy and hatred of Li Mingbao didn't know, but he also knew that he went to the mainland this time, and he was given very high treatment there. In the eyes of Li Mingbao www.biquge.info such treatment is not only high, it is simply too high, just an investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, even the old people have been dispatched, it is simply unscientific.
Li Mingbao still has a certain understanding of the future investment amount and reception level. Not to mention 100 million Hong Kong dollars, even if it is 100 million US dollars, it is more difficult to dispatch these big people, and it depends on off-market tricks, such as the influence of the received personnel in the world, or the achievements in a certain industry.
To a certain extent, even if there is no investment, just a simple visit, it is not uncommon to have such a reception standard, but the Li family is obviously still 108,000 miles away from such a threshold, but the plan given by the mainland is actually like this, which made Li Mingbao, who heard the news at the beginning, a little stunned.
But fortunately, Li Mingbao also understands that it will not be a bad thing for the mainland to give such a high standard, although it is an accident, it will not have any bad impact on his trip. As long as you understand this, you have to do what you have to do. After the big deal passes, you will see the move.
After everything was ready, the plane of Li Mingbao and his entourage took off from Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport on April 13, and the crew of the entire team reached the scale of 12 people. There are three people in the Li family, Li Mingbao, Li Guangxin, and Li Mingyao. The other eight people are the hotel management team, and a lawyer, Li Mingbao also brought Deng Xia, and the remaining person is Zheng Wenyun, who leads the team.
The business airliners of these years are not as extravagant as those of later generations, nor are they so spacious that they can even get you out of the swimming pool, with twelve people and four flight attendants, which seems a little crowded.
But even so, when Zheng Wenyun got on the plane, he was also looking at the decorations inside the plane everywhere, and he kept admiring. His admiration is not without reason, compared with Li Mingbao's private plane, the current civil aircraft in the mainland are in worse condition. The civil aviation aircraft of this year, the model of the aircraft is quite foreign, basically there is no too unified model, even the most advanced aircraft in this year and month are also in China, and the use is not in civil aviation, but as a special plane for leaders.
Most of the civil aviation aircraft are still using Soviet aircraft, or domestic imitation Soviet aircraft. And as we all know, the planes in that place in the Soviet Union are indeed very leather, but there is one point, the ride conditions are quite poor, even if it is a civilian airliner, their aircraft in terms of comfort, there is nothing to say.
Although Zheng Wenyun is also a senior leader in China, if a leader of his level wants to have a special plane, it is obviously impossible, even if he takes a plane on weekdays, it is quite popular. Don't think that the popularity of this year is a derogatory term, in fact, the people who can get on the plane in these years are not simple characters in the mainland, so being able to take a plane is a symbol of status, as for comfort or something, do you still want to have a lining? That's too picky, isn't it? Are you still conscious of being a leader?
Based on this situation, after Zheng Wenyun got on Li Mingbao's private jet, he obviously felt the difference, as a new customer of Yuntong, and he was still a very rich new customer, Yuntong also wanted to make a little more money from Li Mingbao, so the private jet arranged for Li Mingbao was quite a powerful thing, plus Li Mingbao gave money and was happy, and this aircraft opened a big gap with domestic civil aviation.
The aircraft is the latest to be produced, and the interior is designed according to the aesthetics of the Arabian sheikhs. Although such an interior seems a little too exaggerated and not solemn enough in Li Mingbao's eyes, in Zheng Wenyun's eyes, even if it is such a decoration, it is like a heavenly palace, don't you see that the armrests are all gold-plated?
When Zheng Wenyun's eyes turned around, he said to Li Mingbao across the table: "Your private jet is really extravagant. This table is inlaid with gold, and only a big capitalist like you can afford it, even if I look at it, I feel my heart beating, those families who have private jets here in Hong Kong, their private jets are probably not as good as this one, right? ”
"This is not mine, this is arranged for me by Yuntong, it was originally to serve the local tyrants on the Arab side, but I need it, so I will use it first. My plane is still being built in an airplane company, and it will take at least a year to get the goods, and I don't like the interiors, it's so old-fashioned, my plane is not like such a nouveau riche, and you know that the people on the Arab side like gold the most, so it's normal to make it look like this.
As for the private jet in Hong Kong, after my plane leaves the factory, it is really my best plane, who told them to buy the plane earlier than me, the aircraft industry is also changing with each passing day, there is no aircraft of my type a year earlier, naturally it is different. It's just that the space of this plane is a little smaller, and more than a dozen people seem to be a little crowded, and there is not even a bed. Li Mingbao said complainingly.
"It's still small? You're not a big plane, it's good to have something like this, at least in your Uncle Zheng's life, you can't count on this thing. Zheng Wenyun said angrily.
"Originally, I wanted to get a large plane, but Boeing was too busy, and he didn't take orders for a plane, but McDonnell Douglas was willing, but unfortunately the price was a bit high and some were not practical. After all, I don't set up an airline, it's a waste to get a big plane to put it, or this kind of passenger plane is better, this time there are a little more people, under normal circumstances, such a plane to sit four or five people is about the same, so the space is more generous. When my plane arrives, let Uncle Zheng sit down at that time to ensure that it is more comfortable than this plane. Li Mingbao said with a smile.
"Forget it, I can't afford it, such a good plane, it's still for private use, I don't have that much capacity to sit. I was satisfied with the civil aviation plane. I can't learn from a capitalist like you. Don't talk about me, even your grandfather didn't have the good conditions to have his own plane, you are opening foreign meat for your Li family.
I just can't figure it out, what are you doing with all these fancy things? With this money, it is better to invest it and buy these useless things, what a waste. If you really don't lack money, you can go to the mainland to invest, anyway, you have a lot of money, or you will invest 100 million US dollars this time, don't invest in Hong Kong dollars. Zheng Wenyun said distressedly.
Originally, Zheng Wenyun didn't want to say these words, after all, no matter how rich Li Mingbao was, it was also earned by himself, legitimate money, and he was an outsider, and he made irresponsible remarks on this, which was a bit out of bounds. But think about a private jet is an investment of tens of millions of dollars, and it will not take a few years, it is completely a toy, so much money is wasted on these places, it is better to invest in the mainland, not to mention tens of millions, it is millions of dollars, and now the mainland also needs it. Li Mingbao wasted like this, in Zheng Wenyun's eyes, it was really in his eyes, it hurt in his heart, where was it not good, he had to throw it on the toy?
Zheng Wenyun is a very open leader on the mainland, and his ability to understand the outside world is much better than those leaders in the mainland, but even if he thinks about himself as a very familiar person, and he is still his junior, he spent so much money, but bought a not very practical thing, which feels really bad.
If they were replaced by some old revolutionaries with a firm position, if they had a lot to do with Li Mingbao, they would never speak so tactfully, but would just pick up the stick and beat it, and only then would they feel comfortable when they killed such a loser, and they even felt that it was expensive to sit in a 212 jeep, but their own juniors played with a private jet, and whoever put it on them would be angry and sick.
Li Mingbao more or less understands Zheng Wenyun's thoughts, after all, that big guy was also mixed with the mainland back then, he knows more about the affairs of the mainland, and he has also experienced those years, so his distressed thoughts are very clear.
"Uncle Zheng, this matter is really not that simple. Besides, if I invest 100 million dollars in opening a hotel, when will the cost be recovered? I'm here to make money, not to donate, if it's a simple donation, it's not too much, but investment, you can only do business.
To be honest, even if it was my investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars this time, my employees didn't quite understand that in a place like the mainland, if you want to open a high-end hotel, how many people can afford to live. With this 100 million Hong Kong dollars, there is still a big risk in recovering the investment. Not to mention 100 million US dollars, even if it is put in, where do I invest?
And when it comes to private jets, are you and I so happy to buy them? At the beginning, I was forced to have no choice, the dollars I earned in the United States had to be taxed, and the purchase of things was tax deductible in the United States, so I either bought something to offset the taxes for tens of millions of dollars, or directly gave tens of millions of dollars to the US Tax Service.
Anyone can do such a multiple-choice question, I naturally would rather buy something in my own hands, rather than pay the money as a tax, let alone a private jet, in order to deduct taxes, I even bought a seaview villa and a private yacht in the United States, in order to spend the money in the shortest possible time. This money is actually not my own money, but the tax of the United States, and the things I buy with the tax are not considered luxuries, but the taxes in the United States are too strong. Li Mingbao opened his mouth and told the reason for buying a private jet.
"The taxes in the United States are so strong, so the money you put in Standard Chartered is actually left over after paying taxes? So when you made more money from that movie? Zheng Wenyun said in surprise.
Zheng Wenyun does not have a special understanding of the tax rate in the United States. After all, the tax rate in the United States is absolutely incomprehensible to laymen, and insiders also need very professional means to be able to fool the past and give the money that should be given. It is no wonder that lawyers in the United States are all sweet and rich, after all, not everyone can understand the tax and judicial issues in the United States.
If you don't want to lose, you have to learn the laws of the city, and after you learn the federal laws, you have to study the laws of each state, which takes no more effort than being a vice president...
