Chapter 92 Buying an Airplane
ps: Get up early in the morning and vote, and I feel so good all day!
Li Yi was tortured by the old guy's half words. When he saw that he was still reminding him, he nodded weakly. Tell me quickly, I can understand, I can really understand anything!
"If I leave it to me for auction, the maximum estimation of this porcelain I would like to give is 120 million to 150 million!"
I'll take a break! It's really more than 100 million! Do you really have to buy that plane? Damn, if someone who doesn't know the truth knows this, I might as well say it!
Nouveau riche? Does that thing still have the ability to ridicule? At least nine and a half out of ten people want to be the one! Li Yi thinks that being scolded is the most cruel because he is...
Buy a plane? Li Yi thought about it and found it was too incredible, so he decided to let it go!
Some people always like to say that it is yours after all, and it is useless if it is not yours. ¢£Li Yi always thinks that it is they making excuses for their cowardice and incompetence, but today he has appreciated another meaning of this sentence.
He didn't go looking for the plane, the plane came to him!
Not long after he walked out of Sotheby's, a strange phone call came to his cell phone.
"Sir, do you want to buy a plane? I think we can sit down and talk..."
Li Yi was speechless for a while and listened to his self-introduction. This person should be the person on the business card given to him by the flight attendant yesterday. But he had already checked the Internet. There was no rich man calling this name at all. Could he be an agent?
An hour later, Li Yi met the caller in a cafe in Causeway Bay, Du Xiaoming.
This person looks no more than 35 years old at most, very thin, pale, and a little listless. In short, he gave Li Yi a very bad feeling at first sight. This guy is not an addiction... a gentleman, right?
"Hello Mr. Li, here are some information about the plane. You can take a look at it first. I have bought this Gulfstream g200 for only two years, but because of official business needs, I changed to a larger Gulfstream g350, so..."
Du Xiaoming shrugged in a cool manner and continued:
"The total flight time of the aircraft is only 398 hours. It can be said that, including decoration, basically everything is new. Mr. Li just sat there and should have some understanding of its performance."
Li Yi nodded and continued to look through the information, but what bothered him was that most of them were in English, and many of them were professional vocabulary, so he didn't even understand a few words of guessing or ignoring.
"The quotation for this plane was $14.85 million, which included a standard decoration. But later I thought they were too poor, so I asked them to knock them down and start over. Adding the bar with the rosewood, the decoration cost a total of $2.1 million. The complete set of procedures for the plane cost a total of $17.1 million. If Mr. Li intends to buy it, I think I can give you 14 million."
Li Yi was not going to say anything about the price, because he couldn't talk about this step at all. If he really wanted to buy it, he had to figure out whether the information provided to him by Du was true, and whether the plane was resold as he said, just because of official business, there were no other difficult reasons, etc.
He had not thought about how to understand these things, so he just listened silently and did not express his opinions.
"Mr. Du, I need to consult my lawyer. Can I copy and take away these materials?"
Du Xiaoming smiled and spread his hands,
"certainly."
Holding the thick information, Li Yi stood on the street, thinking about who to find to learn some real information.
Among the people he knew, Liu Xiong, who was a local rich man, was definitely ranked first. However, the two of them almost didn't even say a few words. The second one was naturally Liu Xibo. He has been operating in Hong Kong for many years. Even if his relationship network is worse than Liu Xiong, it is mostly due to quality, not scope.
However, Li Yi felt that it would be best to keep this matter confidential. Even if the deal is final, it is best not to disclose this process. According to this principle, it seems that the only thing left is to try Wang Haoqing.
Once he decided, Li Yi immediately found Wang Haoqing. Of course, he did not say that he wanted to buy it, but instead made a fictitious friend of a wealthy friend who did not exist. When Wang Haoqing heard that it was this matter, he took it on the spot.
"Just wait, at most two days, I'll be sure to find out for you clearly!"
Sure enough, Wang Haoqing did not disappoint him. Two days later, in a quiet cafe, Wang Haoqing handed him a local Hong Kong tabloid. When Li Yi saw that it was almost a year and a half ago, there was a huge photo printed on the front page of the headline on it, which was Du Xiaoming.
"The rich man's son is romantic all night, and the two girls' souls return to heaven!"
The name of this report is a bit horrifying. After reading it silently, Li Yi finally figured out why that guy wanted to sell the plane that looked very new.
"This matter should be true. There have been rumors in the world that the illegitimate son of Li Xiong, the illegitimate son of Li Xiong. His mother was a very famous actress in her early years. She did have scandals with Li Xiong back then. This kid is also a lust. But unlike his father, he likes those female middle school students who are fifteen or sixteen years old."
Wang Haoqing drank a cup of coffee and sighed.
"How much a loving mother is defeated! Two years ago, Du Xiaoming spent nearly 20 million US dollars to buy the Gulfstream g200, not for official business, but for the plane! He held silver parties on the plane many times, but unexpectedly something happened half a year later, killing two female students."
"This matter was later suppressed. It is said that it was his cheap father who took it. Later, the plane never came to the sky. It was not until not long ago that it was entrusted to port and shipping to undertake private charter business."
Wang Haoqing shook the coffee in his hand and smiled,
"I don't know if your friend is taboo or not. If you really don't, you can bargain hard, and maybe you can take a big advantage."
Li Yi nodded. Do you need a taboo? No! Because he didn't plan to keep the plane. As long as the plane got it, the first thing he did was to take away the enamel double bottle, and the second thing was to remove the bar and then immediately transfer the plane!
Wang Haoqing has been busy these two days, and he has not been idle either. Not only did he consult a lawyer for relevant procedures, but he also found out the approximate cost of raising a private plane, nearly 10 million soft girl coins per year! This is simply a number that he cannot bear! Moreover, he really has no use to ask for that thing. Even if it is used to show off, it is suspected of being missed!
Since he decided to buy it, of course the sooner the better. After breaking up with Wang Haoqing, Li Yi contacted Du Xiaoming and said that he wanted to go to the plane again, but Du Xiaoming agreed happily.
On the plane, Li Yi saw that the double-consecutive bottle was still there, so he started to chat with Du Xiaoming directly.
"This price is impossible, Mr. Li, to put it bluntly, I would rather put the plane on your price..."
"Mr. Du, I am actually reluctant to mention this matter again, but since my people have told me, then..."
Li Yi took out the newspaper and shook it at Du Xiaoming, looking helpless.
Seeing the large photo of himself in the newspaper, Du Xiaoming's face turned paler. He was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying:
"One thousand one million! This is my final reserve price, and I will get this amount in three days!"
"The airline..."
"I'll solve it here."
"Ok, Mr. Du, happy cooperation!"
Li Yi did not leave the plane, so he called the lawyer he had found two days ago and asked him to immediately take the contract he had drafted long ago to the airport, and he wanted to trade on-site with Du Xiaoming.
This time, he was not going to play with anything else. He just got to transfer the double bottle first, and threw the rest here, and whoever had the ability would secretly watch.
Two hours later, everything was done and the plane became Li Yi’s!
Looking at the empty cabin, Li Yi collapsed on the sofa and smiled bitterly. What's this? After only half a year of graduation, he not only bought a villa, but now he even has a private plane!
However, we cannot relax now, because there is another big thing to do next, that is, selling airplanes!
Chapter completed!
