Chapter 1016 Milk powder money for son and daughter
It seems a bit inappropriate to describe an aircraft as "sports as a bull", but Lin Zheng understood the meaning of George Clooney: this aircraft is in good condition and very good. At the golden age of service, it just thinks it is a bull in its peak period. △↗
"Not bad." Lin Zheng nodded, very satisfied with George Clooney's inspection results.
After hesitating for a moment, George Clooney said to his main counselor: "That other planes..."
"Look at it all," Lin Zheng said after thinking about it, "If the price is right and the plane is in good condition, maybe I will buy a few more."
He suddenly remembered that after the financial crisis, a craze for buying private jets emerged from the world's wealthy people. Unlike the previous craze for buying small private jets such as Gulfstream and certificates, after 2000, the wealthy people were more keen on buying large civil aviation aircraft for modification. Among them, Roman Abramovich, the owner of the Premier League Chelsea team, made a very bad head.
The rich Russian oligarch kicked off the war to show off his wealth with a Boeing 737. Because this guy shows off his wealth with a high profile, the Middle East rich people who have always had a lot of money and don’t know how to spend it can’t stand it: Compare with me more money?
So the private planes that show off their wealth in the Middle East immediately changed from certificate 10, Gulfstream V and other private planes that were previously high-ranking in the eyes of everyone to Boeing 737, Boeing 757... The last time the show of wealth soared. After the Boeing 747-400 was converted into a private plane, the world's largest civil aviation plane: the Airbus A380 did not escape the battle among the tycoons and the "harmful hands" of the Haussaud royal family.
Based on your fingers, it’s been a few years. Now I buy a few more and modify it. Not only can I use it on weekdays. It’s a good investment after a few years. Even if I buy it and don’t modify it, I will temporarily rent it to an airline after the financial crisis next year. It’s a good choice to sell it when the price is right... I would like to thank foreigners for not being able to buy second-hand goods.
How many aircraft? This word scared Benier very much. He turned his head suddenly and stared at his boss in surprise: "Boss, how many aircraft are you talking about?"
Lin Zheng's words were so shocking that Benier couldn't even say anything: a few aircraft. One aircraft and two aircraft were completely different concepts. At least three aircraft were needed to be worthy of "a few aircraft", right?
Not only Bernier, Lin Tanna was scared and looked at her husband in surprise: How many cars should I buy?!
Among the crowd, the only one who was so excited that he could kneel on the ground and sang "Conquest" to Lin Zheng was probably Mr. George Clooney, the chairman and CEO of the International Jet Modification Company. Lin Zheng's words made him excited and his head was congested: How many? How many are this rich IT rich man actually wants to buy?!
Fortunately, Chen Daliang, a wealthy young man, probably doesn't like to see others commenting on his own industry. He is not in the cabin now. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how I would feel when I heard Lin Zheng's words. Are I happy or sad?
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Looking at everyone's surprised gaze, Lin Zheng touched his nose depressedly: "I just think this is a good investment."
"Invest?" Tan Na breathed a sigh of relief. If it was an investment, it would be fine, but she was still a little worried: "Why should I invest in this?"
"Well..." Lin Zheng thought for a while and said the truth: "The current aviation market is not a normal state. The financial crisis always has to pass. After the financial crisis, the aviation industry will inevitably usher in a wave of market demand, but aircraft manufacturers will definitely not be able to produce so many aircraft for a while. At that time, the price of aircraft will rise, and at that time, we can choose to cash out or rent the aircraft..."
After pausing, Lin Zheng even looked at George Clooney and Bernier, and suggested with a sincere look: "You two can actually try it."
Benil shook his head hurriedly: If you invest millions of dollars, you can change such a big guy to put it? He would rather choose to hold the stocks in his hand tightly... In other words, what else can there be more appreciation potential in this world than the stocks of icq?
George Clooney had a strong desire in his eyes. As an aviation practitioner, he understood how operable Lin Zheng’s idea was. If possible, George Clooney really didn’t mind selling an airplane at this time. When the market recovered, it would be modified and sold. It would be at least two or three times the profit, but... it was not money!
When George Clooney thought of this, he was immediately depressed.
Tan Na naturally understood the truth in Lin Zheng's words, and also knew that in the international aviation industry, transfer, procurement and temporary employment of second-hand aircraft were not a big deal for airline operators. However, she did not know the aviation industry before, and just an ordinary person's way of thinking to understand Lin Zheng's operating method. She immediately discovered the loophole in Lin Zheng's logic: "It's true in theory, but the longer the aircraft is, the less valuable it will be soon?"
Without Lin Zheng explaining it to her, George Clooney said to Tan Na excitedly and upset, "Madam, this kind of product is different from a car. The value-added and retention rate of the aircraft is very high. Let me tell you this. 10 years ago, the price of a Boeing 737-400 was about 18 million US dollars. If there was no such damn financial crisis, today 10 years later, the market price of your Boeing 737-400 is about 20 million to 22 million US dollars."
"How is that possible?" Tan Na widened her eyes: How could such a thing happen?
George Clooney shrugged and said, "It's very simple. A 10-year-old aircraft is at the golden age of his use. A brand new Boeing 737 costs about $28 million. The most important thing is that even if you place an order with Boeing, you cannot get your plane immediately. You need to wait at least 2 years. Two years, which is all money. So this used aircraft that is at the age of gold, has excellent maintenance, is relatively advantageous in price, and can be delivered immediately is actually very popular, and is even more popular than new aircraft."
After a pause, George Clooney said: "Of course, this situation is limited to aircraft that have been in service for less than 15 years. The price of aircraft will be different for more than 15 years. However, if it is converted into a private jet, the situation is different... From the perspective of an industry professional, your husband made a very smart investment, which is the same as the stock market's low-price and high-price, and it is still inhaled at the lowest point. Unfortunately, I have no money in my hands, otherwise I would have made such an investment."
"Is that true?" Tan Na believed Lin Zheng more instinctively, and she immediately turned her head and asked Lin Zheng.
"It's almost the same," Lin Zheng said: "But Mr. Clooney still forgot a little."
"Really? What else?"
Lin Zheng said that George Clooney, an aviation industry insider, actually said that he had forgotten one point. Not only Tan Na was surprised, but even George Clooney, the "insider", was not convinced.
"Because Mr. Clooney also forgot that private jets are the main consumer areas, the Middle East," Lin Zheng looked at George Clooney with a smile. This feeling of laymen teaching insiders made Lin Zheng feel very good: "In the past, most of the private jets modified by large aircraft such as Boeing 737 were the cars of the heads of various countries. No one thought about this. The biggest private jets that the rich can choose are the Gulfstream series, Dassault Falcon series and Bombardier's challenge series. Now some people use medium and large civil aviation aircraft such as Boeing 737 to modify private jets... Mr. Clooney, you have dealt with those rich people in the Middle East in the past. Do you have any impression of their vanity?"
"Ah?" George Clooney was stunned for a moment, then looked annoyed, and that expression was so eager to slap himself twice: "Damn it! Why did I forget this?"
"..." Tan Na looked at Lin Zheng, then looked at George Clooney, and then looked back at Lin Zheng. He couldn't figure out why George Clooney was suddenly so upset?
"Because the rich people in the Middle East are rich and don't know how to spend them. They know the rich people who fight wealth every day. For the Middle East oil wealthy people who want to fight wealth and don't regard money as money, it is simply a shame for them," Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Look at it. After the news that we modified the private plane with the Boeing 737-400, it will soon be possible to use Boeing 757, Boeing 767 modified private planes, and even Boeing 747. And you see, these rich people must be from the Middle East..."
"God, please stop talking..." George Clooney's expression looked extremely painful.
He was indeed very painful. The feeling of watching a lot of gold placing in front of you, you only need to take out a small piece of gold to exchange for such a large piece of gold, but you don’t have that small piece of gold in your hand... It’s not just painful, it’s heartbreaking.
I wonder what kind of sadness that is? Well, just look at how George Clooney looks now.
