Chapter 275: Above the Cloud
Chapter 275: Above the Cloud
I don't know if airports in various places are the same. Anyway, when taking a business jet at Baicheng Fengyi Airport, you only need to arrive at the airport 20 minutes in advance. So Zhou Wang felt that he had never taken a plane in his life where he didn't have to wait for a long time. They had only been in the VIP room for about 10 minutes and they were already ready to board the plane.
The ride is no longer a simple shuttle bus, but a VIP car inside the airport... In fact, it is a 7-seater Toyota Coaster. The word "VIP" is marked with English letters on the front of the car. I can't say how good the experience is. , the configuration is much worse than the one Zhou Wang drove down from Mingcheng, but it is indeed more comfortable than the shuttle bus.
Zhou Wang remembered that he had heard a saying before, called "The airport is the place that best reflects class." There are VIP passages and ordinary passages, and VIP lounges and ordinary lounges. Even taking a shuttle bus has VIPs. Different from ordinary vehicles, even if you get on the plane, your seat still determines your level...
Although there are many people on the Internet who refute: "What you can buy with money is not called class", but honestly speaking, if you have money, It may not really allow you to transcend classes, but it will definitely allow you to see the scenery above many classes.
For example, at this time, Zhou Wang was sitting in Costelli, and he found that looking at the tarmac of the airport from this angle really gave a subtle feeling.
I won't elaborate on the details, but in short...it's easy to make people feel inflated.
There were three girls traveling with Zhou Wang, but Miao Ying didn't react much. After all, she had seen the world, and with such a personality, it was difficult for her to be really moved by anything. Yun Rou and Yun Lan were going to show off. There were obviously quite a few people there, chatting in low voices, and taking out their mobile phones to take pictures from time to time...
Perhaps she noticed Zhou Wang's gaze, but Yun Rou was fine, Yun Lan looked very embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, this, this It's my first time to fly..."
"Don't be sorry, actually I haven't flown a few times."
Zhou Wang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Then you are quite lucky. It is your first time to fly on a plane that others may have in their lifetime.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou, isn't your assistant's greatest luck being with a boss like you?" Cui
Yeqing, who had already exchanged greetings with Zhou Wang, interrupted with a smile. , "If nothing unexpected happens, in the near future, Mr. Zhou will definitely have his own private jet. At that time, it will be common for people around Mr. Zhou to fly on business jets..."
Although they had only gotten along for a few minutes, Zhou Wang was already I found that Cui Yeqing's personality is relatively familiar and he can pick up any conversation, but his personality is quite suitable for running business and doing sales.
Through his previous conversation with Jiang Yisen, Zhou Wang had roughly figured out the origin of the business jet they were about to take.
The reason was that Jiang Yisen's brother, the second generation named Jiang Minghao, was willing to buy a business jet. After getting online, probably in order to win over Jiang Minghao, a customer with sufficient purchasing power, Cui Yeqing offered to experience it at a very low special price. Charter service is also equivalent to test-flying your favorite aircraft.
Jiang Minghao, who was busy with his career, didn't have much time to do this. Jiang Yisen happened to be shouting "to hold on to freedom and run to the mountains and seas" all day long, and had no interest in pursuing a career, so Jiang Minghao gave this task to Jiang Yisen.
Jiang Yisen agreed on the spot as soon as he heard that he could fly around on a private jet and have fun without having to spend any money, so there was a business jet parked on the tarmac at this time, and Cui Yeqing, who personally acted as the flight attendant, mainly The goal was probably to persuade Jiang Yisen and Jiang Minghao behind him to actually place the order...
This was not what Cui Yeqing said, but Zhou Wang figured it out by himself from some of Cui Yeqing's micro-expressions and movements during the conversation between the two.
Now that he heard that Cui Yeqing seemed to regard him as a potential customer, Zhou Wang quickly waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Manager Cui was joking, I also want to buy it, but I don't have the strength yet... But I am really interested. , it will take at least more than three hours to fly to Beidu. If you have time on the way, Manager Cui can have a good talk with me. "
Listening to Zhou Wang's humble words, Cui Yeqing's smile did not change, but later he heard that Zhou Wang seemed to be really serious about business. He was interested in things related to machines, and his eyes lit up slightly.
Our ancestors taught us not to "judge people by their appearance", but for a qualified salesperson, "judge people by their appearance" is a basic skill.
In fact, Cui Yeqing didn't know why. Anyway, the first time he saw Zhou Wang, he felt that he must be "a group of potential customers who are likely to order a business jet."
This feeling came inexplicably, and he was familiar with Zhou Wang's name, but until now, Cui Yeqing had not remembered where he had seen Zhou Wang's name...
"Haha, you don't have to wait until you get on the plane. "Okay, I can have a brief chat with Mr. Zhou now."
Cui Yeqing cheered up, "The business jet operation system has been developed from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. In fact, it has been very complete. Mr. Zhou, you are welcome." Don't think that private jets are just a cosmetic luxury. In fact, they also involve many dimensions such as taxation and investment. The knowledge involved is profound..."
Zhou Wang could hardly say anything next, except occasionally. When he was curious about a certain question, he would ask him. Most of the time, Cui Yeqing would explain to him various aspects of business jets from an expert perspective.
Jiang Yisen on the side was salivating when he saw what Cui Yeqing said, and Zhou Wang seemed to be listening very seriously, so he couldn't help but curled his lips...
He said he wouldn't buy it, but Zhou Wang's attitude seemed to be that he really wanted to buy it. Just like a private jet, I asked about the process of purchasing a private jet, the differences between the various models, and even which model of aircraft has better shock absorption function.
If he didn't know Zhou Wang's details, Jiang Yisen might actually be bluffed.
Yes, he admitted that Zhou Wang was still pretty good. Although he was still a little behind his brother Jiang Minghao, he was still able to catch Jiang Yisen's eye. He had accumulated a huge amount of assets at a young age and could even rely on his personal credit. The bank loan is 200 million, but...
if you want to get involved in private jets, that is too much.
Just looking at Zhou Wang's 200 million, it seems that he can buy many cheaper models, but the cost of a private jet is far more than the cost of purchasing the aircraft.
Fuel fees, airport landing fees, route fees, navigation service fees, insurance fees, hosting fees, maintenance fees, pilot and crew fees, beautiful 20-pay stewardess packages... employment fees and so on.
Just like buying a car, it's not just the car that's expensive.
Besides, Zhou Wang would need a loan to buy a house worth hundreds of millions, not to mention a private jet.
If his brother Jiang Minghao didn't have the support of his family and some business needs, he probably wouldn't dare to rashly buy a private jet.
"... Take Beidu Airport as an example. The annual parking fee is about 1.2 million yuan, and your plane is flying in the air, burning at least 4,000 to 7,000 yuan of fuel every hour, not to mention other expenses, so Mr. Zhou, you understand correctly, the cost of maintaining a private jet is exaggerated."
At this time, Cui Yeqing and Zhou Wang happened to talk about this topic, and he said with a smile.
"It's a bit exaggerated."
Zhou Wang nodded, but he remembered the golden legend he revealed to Endme - the 1 yuan purchase privilege of "Gulfstream G650 Series Business Jets".
In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, Cui Yeqing is actually right. In the near future, he will indeed own a private jet.
The system will pay for the purchase of the machine for him, and he only needs to deduct a change of one yuan, but obviously, the system will not bear the subsequent maintenance costs for him.
So Zhou Wang is still a little worried. He has a lot of income now, but his expenses are also huge. It is still very difficult to maintain a private plane...
Although Zhou Wang's worries are purely unfounded, after all, the plane has not yet been obtained. Who knows how long it will take, after all, Zhou Wang can only trigger this corresponding privilege if Ji Xiaoxi is present.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, if you think it is more convenient to take a business jet, but you think it is troublesome to maintain it, you don't have to buy one. Chartering a plane is also a form of it!"
At this time, seeing that Zhou Wang had not spoken for a while, Cui Yeqing might have thought that Zhou Wang Wang was worried about his face and was worried that he would not be able to answer the phone if he could not get off the stage. He took the initiative and said with a smile:
"Actually, many big guys now choose to charter a plane to travel. It is really cost-effective. The cost of chartering a plane is only from 150,000 to 150,000." It ranges from 600,000 to 600,000 yuan. If you buy a first-class cabin on an airline, you will probably pay this price if you have more people. How can you get the comfort of a chartered flight?"
At the same time, Cui Yeqing was secretly wondering, maybe he had made a mistake, although Zhou Wang asked He had a lot of questions, but Cui Yeqing could still feel that Zhou Wang had no desire to buy. This was a professional marketing intuition, and even Jiang Yisen might not be able to see it... Zhou Wang was startled, then nodded with a smile, "Then It's a good suggestion, I will consider it..."
At this time, Coaster slowly stopped, and Zhou Wang looked up, only to realize that they had arrived in front of the plane. In front of Coaster, a pure white plane was parked quietly. On the track.
Compared with civil aviation models, this aircraft can naturally only be regarded as a small aircraft, but in fact among private aircraft, the aircraft in front of me with a length of more than 27 meters is already a large business aircraft.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the Gulfstream G450 we are going to take today. It is a standard three-class cabin that can accommodate up to 15 people. It has a maximum range of 8,000 kilometers. It can easily handle the flight journey from Beidou to any city in Southeast Asia..."
Cui Yeqing's introduction sounded at the right time.
(Photo of Gulfstream G450)
Looking around, the tarmac that had just received a light rain still had traces of moisture, but it also made the Gulfstream G450 parked here look particularly fresh. The red and white color scheme is quite eye-catching.
At the bottom of the escalator, there was already a flight attendant in black stockings wearing a general aviation uniform, waiting with a smile on her face.
In terms of appearance, this stewardess cannot be said to be outstanding, but her tall height, sexy figure, and the bonus of her uniform are enough to become a "goddess" in the hearts of many men.
Zhou Wang and others got out of the car and boarded the plane amidst the greetings of the stewardess. At this time, Cui Yeqing quietly took a step behind, coughed lightly, and asked Jiang Yisen in a low voice: "I don't know what kind of business Mr. Zhou is doing. I always feel that he looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him before..."
Because this trial charter flight has lasted for almost a month, Jiang Yisen and Cui Yeqing are relatively familiar with each other. As soon as Cui Yeqing asked, Jiang Yisen I roughly understood what he actually wanted to ask.
"Manager Cui, I advise you not to waste your efforts. This guy just bought two properties today. I saw him borrow 100 million from the bank. Do you think he still has extra money to buy a plane?"
"Hahaha, if you don't buy it now, it's hard to say in the future..."
Cui Yeqing laughed, but he was a little disappointed in his heart. Even Jiang Yisen said this. It seems that he really thought too much.
The group boarded the Gulfstream G450. Zhou Wang walked along the aisle and took a brief look at the cabin space in front of him.
(Gulfstream G450 interior picture - because it is customized, the interior space of each aircraft of the same model will be different, for reference only)
Well... it is a little narrower than he expected, but the carpet is very soft and the seats look very comfortable. It was comfortable, and he could still smoke, which directly solved Zhou Wang's problem of smoking addiction, and he was very satisfied.
After looking around, Zhou Wang deliberately chose a seat closer to the inside and sat down. Then he made a gesture with his eyes and asked Miao Ying to sit next to him, while Yun Rou and Yun Lan sat opposite him.
In this way, Cui Yeqing could only chat with Jiang Yisen, while Zhou Wang won peace.
While waiting for the plane to take off, Zhou Wang first took out his mobile phone and replied to Shen Yutong's message that he had just missed. Seeing that the other party was still a little depressed, Zhou Wang comforted him a few times and transferred 200,000 yuan directly.
After thinking about it, Zhou Wang found Shen Yurou's WeChat account, which he had just added forcibly last night, and forwarded 200,000 to it.
Shen Yutong didn't reply, probably because she was still filming, but Shen Yurou's response was very quick. Almost a second later, she directly returned Zhou Wang's transfer.
Zhou Wang continued to transfer, and she continued to withdraw. After repeating this several times, Zhou Wang finally got tired. He changed the amount and transferred 50,000 again.
"If you don't accept it, I will force you to develop a third copy next time."
Faced with Zhou Wang's threat, Shen Yurou lost her response.
After several minutes, Shen Yurou replied: "Then just think of it as something I keep for you, and I will transfer it to you when you need it."
Zhou Wang almost laughed out loud when he saw what she said, Do I need you to keep the fifty thousand yuan for me?
However, Shen Yurou's attitude was quite cute, so Zhou Wang replied with a "hmm" and asked her to accept the transfer first.
At this time, the roar of the aircraft engine began to sound, and the flight attendant in black stockings who was responsible for serving everyone came over and reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts.
Fifteen minutes later, the Gulfstream G450 carrying everyone took to the sky.
After the plane was moving smoothly, Zhou Wang thought for a while and stood up. He asked Jiang Yisen, who was looking out the window in a daze, "I may not have slept well last night. Can I go to the rest room inside and take a nap?"
" Of course, it's up to you."
Jiang Yisen waved his hand and didn't care.
Zhou Wang nodded, and then whispered to Miao Ying next to him, "I'll try not to let anyone disturb me after I go in, but if I don't move for more than two hours, you can come in and take a look."
Miao Ying was startled . , but he didn't ask any more questions and just nodded seriously.
Zhou Wang believed that she would not disappoint him. He smiled and spoke to the others before walking into the lounge in the back cabin alone.
After closing the cabin door, Zhou Wang leaned on the independent bed. After confirming his status, he picked up the eye mask and put it on himself. Then he sank his consciousness into the system's warehouse interface, and then lightly touched it. The "gear" shining with white starlight among them.
