Two hours later, Fang Ping's chartered plane arrived at Kacheng Airport, the city where Boeing's headquarters is located.

Fang Ping and the others came out of the airport, and met with Wuyang and others from Shentong Logistics who came to pick up the airport, got into the car brought by Wuyang, and went to the arranged hotel to check in.

On the way, Fang Ping chatted with Wu Yang, who was in the same car, before asking: "Mr. Wu, how is the procurement of charter flights?" ”

"Everything went well, I've been in touch with Boeing!"

Wu Yang hesitated: "It's just..."

"Just what?" Fang Ping was surprised.

Wu Yang said helplessly: "It's just that the freighter model 737-300 full freighter we want to purchase this time has been discontinued in 00." At the moment, Boeing does not have it in stock. ”

"Discontinued? How so? Fang Ping said in astonishment.

He remembered that the air team that had a good wind in his previous life was equipped with an all-cargo aircraft of this type, and the time of equipment was still 11 years.

It's only 04 years now, years ahead of schedule.

Because of this, Fang Ping, in line with the idea of cutting off Hu for a while, has been cutting off Hu for a while, and when Shentong Logistics was finalizing the model, he made a special trip to suggest such a model.

Who knew that the procurement team of Shentong Logistics had arrived in the United States, and as a result, Boeing's model was actually discontinued.

What a.

Wu Yang smiled bitterly: "It's really discontinued." Boeing also specifically introduced and suggested that we either buy a second-hand 737-300 passenger aircraft from the airline and carry out a full freighter conversion. Either order the freighter now and deliver it in two years. ”

The corners of Fang Ping's mouth twitched, Boeing did have good intentions, and the two suggestions were solutions to the problem. But both proposals have one thing in common, and that is that they are very time-consuming.

At present, the expansion of Shentong logistics lacks time.

In particular, Weilai Mall has gone to sea, and Shentong Logistics has not moved.

Under the long-term of the other, the timeline in the middle will be invisibly lengthened!

I couldn't help but have a headache and reached out and rubbed my temples, and said, "What about other models?" What about 757-200, 737-400? ”

"It's all out of production!"

Wu Yang said embarrassedly, and added: "However, the third-generation full cargo aircraft of these two models are in stock." But the price is very expensive, the price of one is as high as 200 million US dollars. ”

Fang Ping frowned, the initial budget for the establishment of the aviation team of Shentong Logistics was only one billion US dollars.

I was still thinking about the Boeing 737-300 model, which was an aircraft from the eighties, and it was cheap.

On a budget, buy ten freighters with one performance.

At that time, the air fleet of Shentong Logistics will be initially built, and it will also meet the logistics needs of domestic and even neighboring countries.

I didn't expect that the models I needed were not in stock, and the price of those in stock was expensive.

And according to the budget, the number of cargo planes purchased has shrunk by half.

"Mr. Fang, do you want to buy these two all-cargo planes?" Wu Yang saw that Fang Ping was silent, and said tentatively.

To be honest, after he learned that the third generation of the 757-200 and 737-400 models cost as much as 200 million US dollars, his first reaction was not to buy it.

First, these two cargo planes are too expensive, one is 200 million US dollars. With a billion-dollar budget, you can only buy five, not to mention, you have to invest another amount of money to train relevant flight personnel, maintenance personnel, and so on.

Second, it's not that other models can't be bought, but it just takes a little longer. But time is spent, but it saves money.

He has learned that the second-generation 757-200, 737-400, and 737-300 are only priced at more than 70 million US dollars, not even 100 million US dollars.

With a little time, save more than 100 million US dollars, is it too cost-effective?

The most critical point is that he believes that the aviation fleet of Shentong Logistics needs to be developed. But there is no need to be in such a hurry, and it is completely possible to follow NIO Mall and establish a logistics center in the area it covers.

The cargo is then transported by land, sea, or by means of belly cargo transportation by air.

It is enough to meet the development needs of Shentong Logistics.

I just want to think about it, he doesn't have the authority to be the master, and the authority is in Fang Ping's hands.

He can persuade Fang Ping, but he can't make decisions for Fang Ping.

After Fang Ping rubbed his temples again, he gritted his teeth and said, "Buy it, no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it." The strategic expansion plan of Shentong Logistics has been formulated. ”

"Just because freighters are expensive, you can't delay or give up on your expansion plans!"

"What, Mr. Fang, in fact, there is no cargo plane, we can expand the same..."Wu Yang coughed dryly and persuaded tactfully.

Fang Ping waved his hand and said, "I understand what you mean." However, the construction of the logistics system is time-consuming, and the expansion of NIO Mall is much faster. ”

"We can't let NIO Mall wait for Shentong Logistics. Besides, I'm not bad for money, it's expensive if it's expensive, it's not a big deal! ”

The corners of Wu Yang's mouth twitched, no, didn't Fang always have any misunderstanding about your point?

Is that a little more expensive?

It's more than twice as expensive, okay!

And the expensive part is more than 100 million US dollars.

With such a large amount of money, what can I do if I save it, it is used to buy models such as 737-300, and the number can be more than doubled.

The efficiency of the air fleet has improved even more.

And I know that Mr. Fang, you are not short of money, but can you not mention it.

By the way, I feel like I want to hit someone, you know?

Fang Ping ignored Wu Yang, suddenly remembered something, and said: "But this time it's enough to purchase two, first set up the aviation team of Shentong Logistics!" ”

"Why?" Wu Yang was stunned, didn't he say that he was not bad for money just now, why did he change his words again?

Fang Ping asked rhetorically: "Didn't you just say that you can buy 737-300 and other models from airlines for full freighter modification?" ”

"That's right!"

Wu Yang just said a word, immediately reacted, and said: "Mr. Fang, do you want to use the remaining money to buy airline passenger planes for modification?" ”

Fang Ping nodded: "Yes, I plan to buy an old-fashioned passenger plane from Air China and modify it after returning to China." ”

"This can save a lot of money!" Wu Yang said with a smile.

Fang Ping waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you save money or not." The point is, I bought an old passenger plane converted freighter from Air China. Air China can use the money to replace its own airliners. ”

"By doing so, it can be regarded as a contribution to Air China!"

"Mr. Fang, consciousness is high. I..."Wu Yang suddenly couldn't help but admire.

"Don't be a sycophant!"

Fang Ping interrupted with a smile and said, "You contact Boeing headquarters." Let's see when the third-generation 757-200 and 737-400 models will be purchased and finalized! ”

"Okay, Mr. Fang, I'll call us!"

Wu Yang smiled awkwardly, nodded hurriedly, took out his mobile phone in front of Fang Ping, and made a phone call out.

After a while, Wu Yang finished the phone call and replied: "Mr. Fang, the president of Boeing is free tomorrow, let's go over tomorrow and discuss relevant procurement matters!" ”

"Okay, then it's over tomorrow!"

Fang Ping nodded, and exchanged topics with Wu Yang and the others.

Soon, Fang Ping and others came to a hotel in the downtown area of Jiacheng, where Wuyang and others stayed, opened a presidential suite, and a luxury single room, and officially moved in.

Because they only went to Boeing's headquarters tomorrow, and it was still early today, after Fang Ping and the others completed the check-in matters, they took Wuyang and others out of the hotel and played in Jiacheng.

After ten o'clock in the evening, Fang Ping finished his game and returned to the hotel.

However, Fang Ping did not rest directly, but asked Wuyang to ask for information on several Boeing models, as well as procurement information, etc., to make preparations.

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Fang Ping and the others had breakfast together, got into the car arranged by the hotel, and came to the Boeing headquarters.

Wu Yang and others came to the Boeing headquarters, and took Fang Ping and the others to the front desk of the Boeing building, talked to the front desk, and then came to the outside of the Boeing president's office under the leadership of the front desk.

The front desk knocked on the door, pushed the door straight open, looked at a somewhat bald middle-aged and elderly man in the office, and smiled: "Edward, the procurement team of Shentong Logistics is here!" ”

"Invite them in!" Edward, who was working, put down what he was doing, got up and walked out from behind his desk.

With Edward's permission, the front desk turned sideways, revealing Fang Ping and his party, and made a plea: "Please come in!" ”

"Thank you!" Wu Yang thanked him and walked into the office with Fang Ping.

"Hey, Wuyang, we're meeting again!"

When Edward saw Wu Yang and the others, he greeted him very warmly, and after giving Wu Yang a hug, he was curious: "Wu Yang, I remember that when you came to Boeing the day before yesterday, didn't you say that the 757-200 and 737-400 third-generation models were too expensive, don't you want them?" ”

"Why did you change your mind again in just one day?"

"Ahem, Edward, I didn't say no, I just said think about it!" The corners of Wu Yang's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously glanced at the side and Ping, and said with some embarrassment.

Edward Fox asked, "Really? ”

"What, Mr. Edward, I'll introduce you!"

Wu Yang hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "This is our major shareholder of Shentong Logistics, Chairman, Fang Ping, and President Fang!" ”

"Mr. Fang, this is Boeing President Edward!"

"Mr. Fang, hello, I'm Edward!"

Only then did Edward notice Fang Ping on Wu Yang's side, and while Wu Yang's attitude changed suddenly, he was surprised by Fang Ping's age, it seems that this young man is only about twenty years old, right?

turned out to be already a major shareholder of a large company, the chairman.

Although I don't know how big Huaguo's Shentong Logistics is, it is definitely not small to be able to spend a billion US dollars to buy cargo planes and form an aviation fleet.

At a young age, at the helm of such a large logistics company, is he the son of a big family in the legend of Huaguo?

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Fang, but the son of a wealthy family in Huaguo?" ”

"No, I'm just a Chinese farmer!" Fang Ping, who was about to introduce himself, was stunned and smiled.

Farmer?

No, are the peasants of China so rich?

Not only to create a logistics company of a small scale, but also to come up with a billion dollars to buy a full cargo plane?

It seems that the farmers and farmers who claim to be middle-class in the United States are not so rich!

Didn't those media report that the peasants in China were poor?

Are the poor only left with money?

After Edward was stunned, he smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, you can really joke!" ”

"It sounds like a joke, but I'm not kidding. I am indeed a native Chinese farmer! Fang Ping shrugged.

Edward was stunned: "Then you..."

"Officially, I am Fang Ping, the founder and CEO of Future Technology and NIO Mall!" Fang Ping saw Edward's confusion and smiled.

"What, you... Are you the founder of Future Technology? You founded Future Space? ”

Edward's eyes widened.
