Chapter 928 1028. Things have changed

Hawker Beechcraft, this name is not unfamiliar to Nie Wei at all. Before deciding to buy a private jet, he had read a lot of information about aircraft companies, including this company.

Combined with the fact that this guy has been following him since he left Gulfstream, it is obvious that he is also trying to sell aircraft.

However, what he may not know is that Nie Wei has already booked a plane, so this man's plan has failed before it even started. Nie Wei glanced at the secretary beside him and motioned her to ask the salesman to leave.

"Sir, please don't disturb our boss's rest." The secretary smiled and said to the Beechcraft salesman.

"Hi, Mr. Nie Wei, I am the sales manager of Beechcraft, I won't disturb you for too long." The white man ignored Nie Wei's secretary's "driving away", but waved to where Nie Wei was sitting, and said anxiously: "Just five minutes, just take up the time of a cup of coffee."

Nie Wei put down the coffee cup in his hand, glanced at the man, and then snapped his fingers at the waiter.

"Give this gentleman a cup of espresso."

Hearing Nie Wei's words, the white man's expression was instantly delighted, but the next second his joyful expression turned into astonishment, because after Nie Wei helped him order coffee, he actually stood up and walked out of the store.

He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wanted to chase him, but of course he was stopped by Nie Wei's bodyguards again.

"Sir, Nie Wei must have booked a plane at Gulfstream, so he really doesn't need your recommendation. If there is a chance, we can cooperate again next time." The secretary who stayed behind smiled and explained to the white salesperson.

"OK, then can you accept my business card? Whenever you need a private plane, call me." Seeing that Nie Wei's beautiful secretary was about to leave, the salesperson quickly took out his business card and handed it over.

This time, Nie Wei's secretary did not refuse, but politely took the business card and put it in his bag.

"Alas." A minute later, watching the luxurious motorcade disappear, the salesperson raised his eyebrows and sighed.

He knew that the deal was lost again. He had thought that since Nie Wei was going to Gulfstream for the first time, he would definitely not place an order immediately, so he had been waiting at the door, hoping to bring a super high-quality customer like Nie Wei to his Hawker Beechcraft company.

But he really didn't expect that Nie Wei would place an order so quickly when it was just his first time to go to Gulfstream.

Knowing this, he even felt more regretful.

After all, such a decisive customer is really the favorite of every salesperson. They will not waste your time and will buy as long as they like it. If the Beechcraft salesperson knew that Nie Wei still paid the full amount for the machine, he would probably regret it. .

"Sir, do you still want coffee?" A voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the Beechcraft salesperson. He turned around and saw that it was the waiter at the coffee shop who asked him with a cup of steaming coffee.

"Yes." The salesperson hesitated for a moment and nodded to take the coffee. Although the deal was not concluded, being invited by Nie Wei for a cup of coffee was also a psychological comfort.

However, as soon as he took a sip, the salesman's face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, and he almost spit out the coffee in his mouth.

"It's so bitter!"

Nie Wei walked around for more than two hours, and then went to the airport to return to Los Angeles. As for the Beech salesman who appeared at the coffee shop, Nie Wei had long forgotten it.

However, Nie Wei forgot, but the Gulfstream drivers who followed Nie Wei's team would not forget it. After sending Nie Wei to the airport, these drivers hurriedly drove back to the company. After parking the car, the old driver in his fifties who drove Nie Wei ran directly to the office of the vice president who received Nie Wei.

At this time, the vice president named Richard was still immersed in joy, after all, he signed a big order.

You must know that Nie Wei bought the aircraft in full. For Gulfstream, this is the best order, after all, it can recover the funds in the first time. Of course, customers like Nie Wei are also rare. It is a blessing from God to meet such a person in a year, otherwise Richard would not dare to give Nie Wei such a promise.

This is the power of money.

You know, if Nie Wei follows the normal purchase mode, it would be considered fast to get the aircraft within two years. Although the G650 is a new aircraft launched by Gulfstream, it is particularly favored by the world's wealthy. So far, twelve orders have been placed, and most of the aircraft on these orders are still on the manufacturing line.

Richard promised to give Nie Wei the aircraft that other wealthy people ordered in advance. He could not urge the manufacturing company to speed up the production of the aircraft. He just helped Nie Wei to "jump the queue".

Although some customers' interests were damaged, there was not much impact, because Gulfstream usually reserved one or two more months for the promised delivery time of the aircraft. In fact, this is the room for operation within the company.

And those high-quality customers will be earlier, while those "stingy" customers will naturally be a little later, which is the difference between ordinary customers and VIP customers when queuing at the bank.

Richard has begun to fantasize that the numbers on this month's sales performance report will far exceed last month, and then he will see Gulfstream's stock rise, and he will be praised by the board of directors.

When he was immersed in it, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"Come in, it's Adessa." Seeing that it was Adessa who came in, Richard couldn't help but smile brightly and asked, "Have Nie Wei and the others been sent to the plane? Are they having fun here?"

"Mr. Nie and the others had a lot of fun. They bought a lot of airplane models and took them on the plane. But Richard, I want to talk about something else." Adessa said with a serious expression, which made Richard subconsciously put away his smile.

Then Adessa told Richard everything about how Beech's sales manager drove to follow Nie Wei's team and tried to sell him an airplane in the coffee shop.

Hearing this, Richard couldn't help but frown.

Although Hawker Beech is also a well-known private aircraft manufacturing company in the United States, it is obviously a level lower than the world-famous Gulfstream.

But the difference does not mean that Gulfstream's customers will not be snatched away.

Compared with Gulfstream, Hawker Beech's only advantage is that their aircraft are very cheap.

Moreover, cheap does not mean that the aircraft is not good. Hawker Beechcraft aircraft are well-known for their high cost-effectiveness in the United States, and are also the choice of many small wealthy people. After all, even the newly launched Hawker Beechcraft King Air 350I is priced at less than six million US dollars.

If we look at the cost-effectiveness, the King Air 350I is actually more suitable than the G650.

Although the King Air 350I is only a medium-range aircraft, with a published range of only 2,400 kilometers, it is far less powerful than the G650, but for private aircraft that are more used domestically, the range of the 350i can fully meet the travel between cities in any country in the world.

The most important thing is that the maintenance costs between the two are also very different. Facing the high maintenance costs of the G650, the King Air 350I can be said to be good value for money.

"Be more careful in the future." Richard sighed helplessly. It was not the first time that he encountered such a salesman who came to intercept, and he had been intercepted in the past.

But today made him particularly frightened. Fortunately, Nie Wei directly paid the full amount for the G650. He was really scared if Nie Wei was intercepted by Hawker Beechcraft.

On the way back, Fan Binbin seemed particularly excited.

Obviously, he took the G650 when he came here, and he also took the same plane when he went back, but Fan Binbin was still as excited as if he was taking this plane for the first time.

"Great, Nie Wei, is the interior you ordered more advanced than this?"

"Yes." Nie Wei nodded and admitted generously that this G650 is a prototype used by Gulfstream for display and air taxi services. Although the interior is not bad, it is just a basic model, which is obviously more than one level lower than those ordered by Nie Wei.

You should know that Nie Wei's cost for interior customization is nearly five million US dollars. When Richard got the customized interior that Nie Wei requested, his eyes were red with excitement.

Because the more luxurious Nie Wei ordered, the more they can earn.

"You are really good. It would be great if I also had such a plane." Fan Binbin fell on the sofa with a longing and happy expression on his face.

Nie Wei looked at Fan Binbin and smiled.

"If you want to buy it, you don't have to choose this one. I chose G650 because I have to travel between the mainland and the United States, so there is no other way. If you only use it in China, the salesman who came to sell it today, the planes behind his company will meet your requirements, and they are not too expensive."

"Really?" Hearing Nie Wei's words, Fan Binbin straightened up and asked with interest: "What company are they?"

"Hawker Beechcraft is also a private jet company, very famous in the United States." Nie Wei replied.

It happened that G650 had WIFI, so Nie Wei simply logged on to Hawker Beechcraft's website and found the information of King Air 350I to show Fan Binbin.

Nie Wei had seen this type of aircraft before, but because the range did not meet Nie Wei's needs, he gave up after just a few glances. However, the good appearance of this aircraft left an impression on Nie Wei, so he recommended it to Fan Binbin at this time.

The price of this aircraft is about 40 million yuan in RMB. With Fan Binbin's current income, he can definitely buy it.

"It looks pretty good, but it's also very expensive, more than 40 million, let's forget it." Fan Binbin looked at the price and was ready to give up.

It's not that she can't afford it, but Fan Binbin still feels that it's not worth spending this money on an aircraft.

And it's not just buying the aircraft. Just now, she accompanied Nie Wei to buy the G650. After hearing so many maintenance charges, she felt that she could afford the aircraft, but she might not be able to maintain it. She didn't want to make her life too tired because of an aircraft, so Fan Binbin quickly gave up the idea of ​​buying an aircraft.

Originally, she just saw Nie Wei bought an aircraft and was a little impulsive. She didn't really want to buy it, and it was not a necessity for her.

"That's right. If you want to use the plane in the future, I can lend it to you and only charge you for the fuel." Nie Wei did not encourage Fan Binbin, but smiled and joked.

Fan Binbin was also happy, saying that Nie Wei, you are so rich, but you still charge me for fuel. It turns out that the richer you are, the more stingy you are.

"You are right. The richer you are, the more you should know how to spend. You can't spend lavishly just because you make a lot of money. If you do that, even if you have Jinshan Bank, it won't be enough to waste."

"Then Nie Wei, please teach me how to manage my finances. I made a lot of money from the stock you recommended to me last time."

"You made so much money but I didn't even treat me to a meal. Thank you."

"It's not that you're too busy. I can treat you anytime. Recommend me another one. I just received a film contract recently."

Nie Wei waved his hand and smiled, "The company is about to start issuing new stocks. If you have money, just buy them. You're guaranteed to make money."

"Really? Then I'll buy more." When Fan Binbin heard the news, he immediately looked happy. It can be said that whoever buys Huayi's stocks will make money. It's hard to buy them now even if you have money. Now there's finally a chance to buy them. Fan Binbin immediately decided to use all the cash on hand to buy Huayi's stocks. Buy as many as you can.

In her opinion, as long as Nie Wei is still in Huayi, the value of this company will only rise and not fall.

After Nie Wei and Fan Binbin returned to Los Angeles, they soon received a call from Jenny. As Nie Wei expected, Jenny finally agreed to Nie Wei's plan.

Because she really couldn't find another person who was willing to accept her conditions and lend her money.

The rest was to facilitate the transaction between the two parties through Jenny's matchmaking. Nie Wei would not handle these things personally. He had already contacted domestic companies, and a professional negotiation team would soon go to the United States to resolve this matter.

And Nie Wei would not just take out 2 billion yuan. 80% of it would be loaned to Nie Wei by Citibank at a low interest rate.

This matter also made Jenny jealous.

Nie Wei did not encounter any obstacles when borrowing the money from the bank. Citibank even sent a state general manager to come to Nie Wei to complete the loan requirements.

After Jenny knew about this, she was jealous. She thought of the time when she borrowed 100 million yuan before, the bank took a long time to approve it, and finally passed it in a month, and also gave her a discount, lending her only 60 million.

However, this matter also made Jenny clearly know how big the gap in wealth between the two was. In her spare time, she would also guess whether Nie Wei's position would be changed again when the Forbes Rich List was announced this year.

Nie Wei and his companions returned to China on the G650. This time, everyone really felt clearly that expensive planes are indeed expensive for a reason.

In terms of speed, the G650 really beats all current passenger planes.

In the following days, Nie Wei continued to devote himself to the filming of "Inception", and as time passed, the film finally entered the final stage.

On the other hand, under the matchmaking of Jenny, the negotiation team and the Buss family on the Lakers shares gradually became clear.

Except for Jenny, the rest of the Buss family wanted to cash in the team. In addition, Nie Wei's side was currently the most sincere force to buy Lakers shares, so the two sides talked quickly and reached the final result in just 20 days.

Nie Wei will purchase 66% of the shares held by the Buss family at a price of 1.88 billion.

After Nie Wei authorized the signature, on November 11, the Lakers changed.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise, 0773 for the generous reward.
