Zhang Yida waited for a while longer, and the people from Bombardier arrived.
What came was a young girl in her early twenties, with exquisite makeup and dressed in a decent high-end women's fashion.
I have to say that Bombardier made some mistakes this time.
They thought that since Zhang Yida was not married yet, it would be easier to negotiate business if he sent a beautiful saleswoman, not to mention that he was still at home.
But they didn't expect that Zhao Erya was also at Zhang Yida's house. She felt uncomfortable when she saw the woman and felt that the aura of prostitution was too strong.
Especially when he kept saying "Mr. Zhang", it was so annoying.
However, Zhao Erya didn't show her dissatisfaction on her face, she just didn't want to talk.
"What do you think of the Global Express 8000? It's one level higher than the Global 6000 in Ponyma."
Zhang Yida looked at Zhao Erya and asked for his opinion.
"I think it's just average! Most of the richest people in China buy Gulfstream."
Zhao Erya's words almost made Bombardier's female salesperson explode. She pretended not to care and said: "Gulfstream is indeed a very good aircraft manufacturer, but we at Bombardier are not bad either.
Especially this Global Express 8000, its maximum range can reach 14,631 kilometers, and it can basically achieve direct flights between more than 70% of the countries in the world.
If you take the Global Express 8000 from Beijing or Shanghai, you can reach all other countries on the planet directly, except for countries in South America."
When Zhang Yida heard this, his eyes lit up. This is not bad! 70% of the countries in the world can be reached directly. It sounds awesome.
The female saleswoman knew from Zhang Yida's reaction that the latter was interested.
She noticed that Zhao Erya was always hostile to her. It was really baffling. Is there anything wrong with being good-looking?
However, for the sake of the order, she still shyly went to please Zhao Erya, "If we have the Global Express 8000, it will be very convenient for Miss Zhao and Mr. Zhang to travel around the world, and they can save a lot of stopover time.
destination."
Zhao Erya took some time today to learn about private jets. She deliberately pointed out: "The increase in flight range will sacrifice the comfortable environment during the flight, right?"
"We have considered this."
The saleswoman was not out of ideas. She began to explain: "All the seats in the Global 8000 cabin are made of breathable materials, which are as comfortable as the fabric of the bed.
The interior designer emphasizes the surrounding environment of the entire cabin and strives to create a warm feeling for passengers.
In order to meet the actual needs of passengers on long-distance flights, we have also divided the cabin into three spacious areas:
Luxurious and private stateroom, spacious conference room and dining room, food and luggage storage area.
The stateroom is located in the quietest area at the rear of the aircraft and is a delightful private suite offering the comforts of home with a full shower.
The conference room is very spacious, and the layout of the furniture and the structure of the space allow passengers to place laptops and paper documents at will.
Compared with other ultra-long-range business jets, the food storage area of the Global 8000 is very spacious and can store a variety of different foods. It also has enough space to store other sundries.
These advantages provide great convenience for long-distance flights for many people, and also enable high-end customers to get rid of the rigid atmosphere of transportation.
In addition, each area has 6 portholes, which are optimally integrated with the seats.
The larger porthole design allows aircraft owners to access natural light from any seat, and the width and angle of the field of view are also well improved..."
The female salesperson began to talk about the detailed design and various advantages of the Global 8000.
Zhang Yida also felt good about it, and for a while he couldn't make up his mind between Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G650ER.
"No matter how well you say it, you have a fatal flaw, which is that the maximum takeoff weight exceeds 100,000 pounds."
Zhao Erya's words made the female salesperson look a little unnatural, and she said bravely: "Many colleagues have not solved this problem!"
"Wrong, Gulfstream G650ER will solve it."
Zhang Yida was confused after hearing this. What else is important about the take-off weight?
Zhao Erya continued: "The maximum take-off weight exceeds 100,000 pounds, and it cannot take off and land at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, the busiest business jet airport in the world, located next to New York City.
When many companies purchase business jets, they have made it clear that they will not consider models that cannot take off and land at Teterboro Airport."
Zhao Erya looked at Zhang Yida and said: "Many of your companies are listed in New York, and they will inevitably go to New York in the future.
If you buy a Global 8000, you will not be able to land next to New York in the future, and you will have to take a bus to New York from other nearby airports, which is very inconvenient."
Zhang Yida didn't understand what was going on here, so he turned to look at the saleswoman and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
The saleswoman could only confess, but she did not dare to deceive Zhang Yida.
The saleswoman left with the words "Go back and wait for news."
After walking out of the ancient gate of Li Palace, she looked back reluctantly.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
How come she can live in a mansion worth hundreds of millions and fly on a private jet worth hundreds of millions, but she can only laugh in front of rich people.
Zhang Yida then met with sales representatives from several aircraft manufacturers such as Dassault, but none of the aircraft models satisfied him.
Compared with the Gulfstream G650ER and Global 8000, they are too mediocre.
As for Boeing's sales, they did not directly agree to meet.
Without him, Boeing aircraft have many problems, and Zhang Yida still wants to live for a few more years.
"Hey, tell me, should you imitate the oil tycoons and buy a large passenger plane and modify it yourself?"
"ah?"
Zhao Erya was a little surprised and shook her head repeatedly, "It's better not to do it! It's too high-profile. I heard that buying an airplane and modifying it costs hundreds of millions of dollars.
I haven’t heard of any rich man in China buying a passenger jet and converting it into a business jet!”
"have!"
Zhao Erya asked curiously: "Who is it?"
"Liu Luanxiong," Zhang Yida said with a smile: "This man spent US$150 million in 2009 and ordered a Boeing 787 as a special plane."
"In the end, business jets are still a bit small. It's impossible to install a luxurious bedroom, bathroom, game room, luxury cinema, or bar on the aircraft."
Zhao Erya peeled an apple and handed it to Zhang Yida, and said: "Forget it! It's too extravagant.
You are still in the entrepreneurial stage, and the total market value of listed companies is only a little over 10 billion US dollars.
Most of the other companies are still in the stage of hard work and have not even reached breakeven.
At this time, you buy a passenger plane worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and then spend hundreds of millions of dollars to renovate it.
The saliva from investors and the Internet has not drowned you yet!”
"Yes," Zhang Yida nodded, "people's words are scary!"
Zhao Erya said: "With your current worth, you can still buy a plane worth tens of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of yuan.
If I really asked you to spend 1 billion US dollars to buy an airplane, would you be able to afford it?"
"I can't take it out!"
Zhang Yida pretended to be pitiful and said: "To buy a business jet worth tens of millions of dollars, you have to pledge equity loans.
From now on, while others are house slaves and car slaves, I will be a machine slave.
You name it, it's miserable or not. Faced with high loan repayment figures every month, I endured pressure and pressure that I shouldn't have to endure at this age.
Forget it, I'll let Ruimin Financial Management turn my borrowing needs into a new product, called "Aircraft Loan"."
Zhao Erya burst out laughing, "Why don't you let Ruixiang make a crowdfunding product?
For 10 yuan, you can participate in a private jet lottery worth 400 million. If 40 million people participate, you will have money to buy a plane.
Then people found out that the winner of the grand prize was you."
"What a great idea you have! 10 yuan is not much, you can't buy it and you will suffer a loss, you can't buy it and you can't be fooled!"
Zhao Erya was too lazy to deal with Zhang Yida, who was getting more and more outrageous. After thinking about it, she persuaded him: "Why don't we stop buying a plane?
You have pledged so many stocks, what if the stock price drops sharply and your position is liquidated?"
Zhang Yida waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Yimin Wangjin and Yimin Wealth are growing so well that I even want to reduce my holdings."
Although he said this, Zhang Yida was also thinking deep down in his heart.
This should be regarded as the last afterglow of China's mutual financial industry! We have to find a way to pay off the loan as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it will really blow up the position and make you disgraced.
Yimin Wangjin’s pledged loans exceed US$2 billion, with a pledge rate exceeding 42%; Yimin Wealth’s pledged loans exceed US$500 million, with a pledge rate even higher, reaching over 49%.
The US$2.5 billion was not squandered. US$500 million was spent on acquiring Blue Hole, investing in OYO and injecting capital into DouShi.
The other US$2 billion is handed over to the Xinhuo Family Office for various asset allocations, using money to make money.
In recent years, Zhang Yida, apart from the meager salary he received from various companies, his biggest source of income has been Dogfud Network Technology and the sale of shares.
All the funds of Dogford Network Technology are now used to support the development of Daya Media, and basically no more dividends are provided to Zhang Yida.
In terms of equity sales, Zhang Yida has sold four shares so far.
The first transaction was to sell 1% of Ruixiang’s shares to Blackshirt Capital in exchange for US$2 million after tax, which was used to incubate the Yimin series of companies;
The second transaction was to sell 9% of Yimin Wangjin's shares to Goldman Sachs before the listing, in exchange for US$160 million after tax, and sponsored his father's RMB 500 million.
When Pinduoduo and DouShi were founded, the two companies invested 200 million each, and spent a lot of money;
The third transaction was the sale of 15% of the shares of Yimin Wealth to Morgan Stanley before the listing, in exchange for US$231 million after tax.
When DouShi raised its A round of financing, Zhang Yida personally invested US$200 million, so there was still US$31 million left.
The fourth transaction was the cash out of US$57.6 million during the IPO of Yimin Wealth.
U.S. listed companies are required to pay capital gains tax to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service when trading stocks. The maximum tax rate is 20% if the shares are held for more than one year, and the maximum tax rate is 39.6% if the shares are held for less than one year.
Then when the money is taken back to China, personal income tax must be paid domestically.
Ordinary employees are the worst off. The company finally went public. Taking into account the exercise price and the tax rates of the two governments, they may only get 20% to 30% of the nominal equity value in the end.
Because the exercise price almost halved the value of the stock held, or even more.
If the exercise price is within 50% off, then it is definitely a conscientious company.
The two governments imposed taxes, and the value of the stock was cut in half again.
Therefore, when the media publicizes the number of multi-millionaires and billionaires born from an IPO, it actually has to be discounted by 20% or 30%.
The company that holds the equity of Yimin Wealth is Zhang Yida's offshore company registered in Cayman. If this money is not taken back to the country, it will only need to pay tax once to the US government.
In addition, you can also operate in the United States, such as registering a company in a state with low tax rates in the United States, obtaining a U.S. green card, or making charitable donations or family trusts... you can avoid taxes.
But Zhang Yida didn't do that. He paid taxes to the two governments honestly and got back a little more than 30 million US dollars in legal income.
At last count, I still have US$75 million in cash at my disposal, which is almost enough to buy a business jet.
"Okay then! You make up your own mind."
Zhao Erya knew that her business ability was not as good as Zhang Yida's, so she would not give him instructions.
"Then buy the Gulfstream G650ER. I'll get back to Fan Shaoguang soon."
"Okay!" Zhao Erya nodded. Anyway, as long as she didn't buy Bombardier from that saleswoman, she would agree.
Zhang Yida sighed, he spent all his last bit of private money, and returned to before liberation overnight.
He found that he really couldn't save money, so whenever he had money, he would invest it, or buy this or that.
Now I am still carrying a debt of US$2.5 billion, and I have also guaranteed a debt of US$550 million from Huimin Travel.
He doesn’t look like a rich man, but he is a real loser!
However, these investments and debts are all reasonable financial means.
No loans, all money deposited in the bank, probably no billionaire would dare to do this.
