Chapter 73 buying a private plane

After entering September.

New York came and went and there was some light rain.

After these few light rains, the weather in New York suddenly cooled down.

September 3.

Upstate New York,

Airport for private aircraft. David Jones, assistant manager, senior customer services, American Express Bank, New York.

He graciously led Abel and his entourage through the airport.

At this small airport,

Currently, there are 5 aircraft of different sizes, lengths, models and manufacturers parked at the airport.

Last month,

Return to Abel, Texas.

I decided to buy my own plane to facilitate future business travel. For some reason he did not choose these agencies.

Instead of searching for the airline directly, David Jones of Express Company asked him to find the airline for him.

Unlike buying a villa, David spent half a month.

I found some airplane models that Abel wanted to see, and today was the day he took Abel to see the airplanes.

As for Abel, Anne Hathaway arrives in Los Angeles at the end of the month. She brought two bodyguards arranged for her by Abel, one male and one female, to Los Angeles to participate in the audition for the female lead role of the movie renamed "The Princess Diaries".

This audition was, to say the least, solid.

is also certain.

Caa wasn't the only one contributing to the operation.

Michael Ovitz, former CEO of Disney, also helped find his old contacts at Disney. The company "ab Smith Entertainment", which was founded just two days ago,

also with the help of caa,

20% of the 30 million investment film.

has a caa activity,

Affiliated with Ovitz,

Plus also brings capital to the group.

If you still don't pass the audition, it's really a shady scene, even scarier than a shady scene.

Annie went to audition.

Become Jessica today and accompany Abel to monitor the plane. "It's a Gulfstream G400.

Sir, last time you went to Texas, you took the same model. "

Standing below the blue-painted Gulfstream G400, David Jones became an employee of the airline.

He spoke eloquently and presented the plane's situation to Abel.

"This is a major innovation and development model developed on the basis of the most successful business jet in history, the "Gulfstream" IV."

"There are new Rolls-Royce Tay engines, a longer fuselage, improved wings and a transparent cockpit."

"The length of the aircraft is 26.9 meters, the wingspan is 23.7 meters and the height of the aircraft is 7.4 meters."

"Empty mass 16,100 kg, maximum takeoff weight: 33,203 kg."

"The maximum flight speed is 936 km/h and the maximum flight range is 7,805 km."

"It can fully accommodate any business trip you take in China."

Abel flew this plane many times. He knows that in the near future, higher-end models such as the Gulfstream g450 and Gulfstream g500 will appear.

But at least two or three years later.

And he wants it now.

So he turned his head and smiled at Jessica Alba, who was looking at this beautiful plane, her eyes about to open wide:

"I took this plane and it was a good flight to China. Do you want to come and see?"

Jessica wants to be reserved. But young girls, it's hard to stay calm when you see things like private planes.

She simply abandoned the reservation, nodded and smiled: "Of course, if you can, that's good."

Abel smiled: "David, take Miss Alba to see."

David Jones bent down slightly and immediately ordered a beautiful American Express employee to follow him.

This female employee will take Jessica to see the plane.

Abel and David Jones tested the remaining models. The second plane Abel looked at was a Boeing 747 that looked a bit old.

The Boeing 747 appeared in the late 1960s.

In the early 1960s, the US Air Force proposed a strategic transport aircraft plan.

called for the creation of a giant transport plane capable of carrying 750 soldiers or two tanks across the Atlantic.

Boeing lost the bidding war to Lockheed. They have no choice but to try to civilize the large military transport aircraft and high-performance engines that are being researched.

This effort was successful.

The Boeing 747 appeared.

Since its inception, this aircraft has lived for thirty years.

Over the past thirty years, it has also been updated many times. From the first 747-100 model to the most advanced 747-400 model.

The Boeing 747 has undergone more than 6 overhauls and its performance is constantly updated.

Let's put it this way, Boeing predated the 747.

This is one of the best airline companies among many airline companies in the United States.

The success of the 747 is an important reason why Boeing became a giant and the number one aircraft manufacturer in the US. More than 1,500 of these aircraft have been produced, from prototypes to complete versions.

Among large aircraft of this size, it is the most produced model.

I saw this old but very large Boeing 747-200.

Abel feels exactly like that.

Because it's huge, big is expensive, expensive is good. The larger the body, the more convenient it is to do something pleasant on it.

"Is that a Boeing 747?" Abel asked David Jones: "This must be an older model, right?"

"Correct." David Jones said: "This is a Boeing 747-200, manufactured in 1982 and delivered to Sterling Airways in 1984.

Sold to a private company in the United States in 1991, it is now owned by a New York businessman. "

"Too old." Abel commented with a frown.

"It's just a reference prototype," David quickly said. If you want, we can provide you with the newest Boeing 747-400, which is the newest model. "

Almost the same, Abel nodded: "I need a Boeing 747-400 and two Gulfstream G400s.

Keep in mind I want a brand new cell with custom furniture. "

In fact, before Jessica Alba saw the plane, Abel was planning on buying a Gulfstream g400.

Gulfstream's two G400s, one will be located on the West Coast and the other on the East Coast. Abel or those authorized by Abel can board the ship if necessary.

At the same time, these two planes are also a temptation that he uses to retain "long-time workers".

Be obedient and you will have a private plane that you can use as you please.

Isn't it more fragrant than the so-called "love"?

The giant Boeing 747-400 will be Abel's palace in the sky. He plans to use it as his primary long-distance travel tool in the future.

Who said it was that big?

Big is beautiful, big is good, big is wonderful.

It seems like he likes Xiong Da more.

Hearing Abel's words, Express Bank's David Jones was overjoyed.

The brand new Gulfstream G400 has a price excluding taxes of 36.68 million USD. Counting custom private types, that's over 40 million.

Two is 80 million US dollars.

A Boeing 747-400, costs at least 150 million US dollars.

Including private customization, the lowest price is 160 million, the highest price can be up to 180 million.

This is a service order with a total price from 240 to 260 million VND. If American Express Bank can win, the airline company's commissions and discounts will amount to at least tens of millions of dollars.

He, a deputy director serving Abel full-time, received a commission of at least 500,000 yuan.

Equivalent to his salary for a year under normal circumstances.

How could David not be happy?

But what Abel said next surprised David Jones. "David, do you want to work for me? Interested in earning more money?
