Chapter 906 Airbus
…
"That guy named Qiu is so abominable. He's such an idiot. He dares not to believe you!" Sitting in the car, Lin Ling pouted her rosy mouth and cursed unhappily.
She had witnessed with her own eyes how Liu Dong revived a vegetative person who had been ill for many years, and she had always been proud of her man's superb medical skills, so Qiu Chengfeng's rejection made her particularly angry.
China has always had a "married daughter throws water" towards women, because they often have more emotion than reason. Once they truly fall in love with someone, they will devote themselves wholeheartedly!
Therefore, in Lin Ling's view, any denial of Liu Dong makes her ten times or a hundred times more angry than others' denial of herself!
"Okay, don't be angry! As long as they take the Jade Chan Heart-Proofing Pill and understand its benefits, they will naturally come to you for help!" Liu Dong comforted with a smile.
The only thing he was worried about was that Qiu Chengfeng did not do as he was told, but threw his two pills into the trash can when he changed hands. In that case, all his previous efforts would have been wasted!
"Yes, that man named Qiu will definitely come to our door when the time comes. Let's give him a hard time! Look how dare he look down on us!" Lin Ling said angrily.
Liu Dong chuckled and said nothing more.
If the other party really comes to visit, he will not make things difficult for him. After all, compared with being angry for a while, the most important thing is the shares of Standard Chartered Bank!
Back at the hotel. Liu Dong was originally going to change clothes, and then the two of them went out to visit Singapore together. It was not easy for them to come here. They always have to have fun after work!
However, Liu Dong, who had just prepared his clothes and went out, unexpectedly received a customer service call from Airbus. After more than two months, his private jet was finally ready!
Thanks to the decline of the global aviation industry after 9-11, a large number of Airbus A319 aircraft that had been ordered and completed were cancelled. Therefore, Liu Dong's private jet only underwent internal modifications according to his requirements before it could fly into the sky.
Got it!
Originally, Liu Dong wanted to wait for his business in Singapore to be finished before flying his plane back, but after waiting for a day and nothing happened, he received another call from the United States. Liu Dong could no longer wait.
After going down, I had to temporarily put aside the Qiu family's affairs, and took Lin Ling by plane to Paris, France, and then to Toulouse, the headquarters of Airbus!
Here, Liu Dong received a warm reception without any surprise. In old Europe, where money is paramount, the rich, especially the super rich, can always enjoy the best service!
This time is no exception!
Under the leadership of a senior account manager from Airbus, Liu Dong walked into his private jet for the first time!
The space is not as large as the Boeing 737 he once took, but it is enough for a private jet!
Except for the operating space of the machine head, the kitchen, bathroom, study room, reception room, and living room at the back are all available. The materials used in each space are of the highest quality. Purely handmade large Persian carpets, exquisitely crafted classic
European-style sofas, although Liu Dong plans to replace them with high-quality Chinese-style chairs from Taiyi Pavilion when he returns to China. But he has to admit that their stuff is really good.
In addition to the various functional spaces mentioned above, there are five bedrooms in the back, one master bedroom and four secondary bedrooms, which can accommodate more than ten people without any problem!
In addition to the bedroom, there is also a gym near the tail, plus a recreation room and a utility room, and that’s all the aircraft has to offer!
"Mr. Liu, if you are still dissatisfied with the aircraft, please tell us in time. We will help you modify it immediately!"
It took a lot of effort to get such a big customer when the aviation industry was in recession, and Stephen warned himself that he must serve him well!
"No need, I'm very satisfied!"
Hearing this, Stephen felt relieved!
"Xiaodong, is this the plane you bought?" Lin Ling, who climbed up after Liu Dong, couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"Yeah, is it okay?" Liu Dong smiled.
"Yeah!" Lin Ling nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and looked back and forth on the plane with her big eyes.
Seeing him like this, Liu Dong didn't bother him, but turned around and asked: "I remember that your company provides pilot services, right?"
"Yes, if Mr. Liu's aircraft needs pilots, we can recommend them to you. Each of them has undergone strict training at the Airbus Flight Training Center and has more than 500 hours of flight experience, which can ensure the safety of your aircraft to the greatest extent.
.And their driving qualifications are recognized by the world, including your home country, China, so Mr. Liu does not have to have any other unnecessary worries!" Stephen explained quickly.
The aviation industry is currently in recession, and many airlines have grounded their routes. Therefore, there are many unemployed pilots, so Liu Dong's request can be met easily.
"In this case, I hope your company can provide me with three pilots and two flight attendants. Those who understand Chinese will be given priority!" Liu Dong said after thinking about it.
"Okay, we will try our best to meet your requirements!"
After nodding, Liu Dong looked through the porthole and looked at the parking apron in the distance with more than 30 Airbus aircraft of various models parked full of them. Liu Dong asked in surprise: "Are all these aircraft unsold?
"
The facts were in front of him, and Stephen did not deny it. He nodded with a wry smile and said: "That's right, they are basically all passenger planes canceled by other airlines after 9.11!"
What Stephen didn't say is that what is actually here is only a part of the canceled passenger planes. At least they have been completed, and the remaining passenger planes that were canceled before they were completed are at least three times as many!
After staring at the brand-new passenger plane outside the window for a while, Liu Dong suddenly turned his head and said, "If I order two more planes, what discount can you give me?"
"You...you just said...to order two more planes!" Because he was so surprised, Stephen almost bit his tongue.
But even if it bites him, he doesn't care about the pain, because all the emotions called 'excitement' are aroused in his body.
The sudden news from Liu Dong was tantamount to the gospel of God for him!
At this moment, Stephen seemed to hear the sound of gold coins falling to the ground, which was an unparalleled temptation.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry! Our aircraft are all brand new and can be modified according to your requirements at the lowest price, and the price of each aircraft is reduced by 20%!"
Looking at Stephen, who was breathing heavily and rushing to his side like a bull in heat, Liu Dong smiled: "Reduce it by 40%, or I will go find Boeing!"
Facing the foreign devils, Liu Dong was not rude at all when bargaining!
Anyway, if he doesn't buy it, these passenger planes will be parked here for who knows how long. When Airbus wants to sell them again, it will not be the ex-factory price, but the depreciation price!
It is precisely because he knew this that even though Liu Dong had already cut the price by nearly half, Stephen did not refuse immediately!
"Mr. Liu, 30% off, this is the biggest discount I can give you!" Stephen had no choice but to throw out his trump card.
"No, 60% off, otherwise I don't want even one more point!" Liu Dong shook his head resolutely.
Looking at him, Stephen had a toothache. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Okay, please wait a moment!"
After finishing speaking, Stephen took his mobile phone and went to the side to make a call. It was obvious that he was communicating with his boss who could make the final decision!
"Xiaodong, why do we buy so many planes?" Although owning a private plane is a very honorable thing! But one is almost enough!
Looking at Lin Ling holding his arm, Liu Dong said lovingly: "Now that we have money, of course we must enjoy life. A private jet is a must. I will use this jet from now on and buy another one for you and Wang."
My sister uses it for two people, and the remaining cheap one is given to the company’s senior staff for use when they go on business trips!”
Although she was sharing it with Wang Qiang, Liu Dong's words still made Lin Ling sweet in her heart!
"He really has a place for me in his heart, Xiaodong really loves me!" Lin Ling was moved in her heart.
Compared with using actions to get love, money can often achieve the same or even better results!
At this time, Stephen had already hung up the phone and came back, "Mr. Liu, if you purchase two more Airbus A319s, we are willing to give you a 40% discount. If not, I'm really sorry!"
Liu Dong frowned. According to the selling price of Airbus A319, a 40% discount is 38 million US dollars, which is only 3 million higher than the ex-factory price. For an expensive aircraft, this is already a bargain!
"Then let's get two!"
Liu Dong, who made a fortune again in Macau, can be said to be rich and powerful now!
"Please come here and I will immediately notify the company to prepare a contract for you!" Stephen said with excitement on his face.
The commission from the sale of these two planes was enough to make him a millionaire!
There is nothing more exciting than making money!
The process of signing the contract went very smoothly. Airbus, which had been losing money for several months after 9.11, almost treated Liu Dong like an emperor!
"Now that the world's aviation industry is in great depression, if we buy their stocks at the bottom, we will definitely make a lot of money!" When Liu Dong signed the contract and the two of them returned to the hotel together, recalling today's experience, Lin Ling couldn't help but say.
As a top student who graduated in economics from the University of Toronto, Lin Ling has a good business acumen, especially after working as Liu Dong's assistant for more than a year and accumulating more work experience.
In fact, Liu Dong also knows that now is an opportunity to buy the bottom of the aviation industry, and Cathay Pacific is his target. However, in comparison, he still prefers Boeing and does not seek a controlling stake. It is unrealistic! But buying a part of the stock will make some Americans
If the country’s finances are in dire straits, it’s still very good!
