Lu Yiming quickly explained: "I'm just here to have fun, okay? I don't have official business."

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Li Yiwen breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "That's pretty much it."

Lu Yiming asked: "Where are you? Let's have dinner together."

Li Yiwen said: "The Champs Elysées."

"Wait for me, I'll go over now."

"……All right."

Not long after, Lu Yiming saw Li Yiwen at the door of a luggage store on the Champs Elysées. At this time, Li Yiwen was squatting in front of the store out of boredom, counting ants.

Lu Yiming walked over and squatted next to him and asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?"

Li Yiwen pursed his lips and said, "Here, I'm buying a bag."

Then, he asked Lu Yiming: "What are you doing in Paris? Why don't you bring your little girlfriend with you?"

Lu Yiming said: "I came from a beautiful country and successfully sold PayPal. I originally wanted to buy an airplane from Boeing, but they didn't sell it to me."

Li Yiwen felt very strange: "Not selling it to you? Is there such a thing? Why,"

Lu Yiming said helplessly: "I guess I cut the leek too hard last time. The top ten airlines joined forces to boycott me. Boeing sold the aircraft to me. I think it was because I was afraid of offending other companies."

Li Yiwen smiled and said: "That's a very reasonable explanation. They can't let you fly to a beautiful country. It's already a big favor."

Lu Yiming said: "So I have to buy another plane, otherwise I will have to row across the Pacific in the future."

While the two were chatting, Li Zixian came out of the store. When he saw Li Yiwen and Lu Yiming squatting at the door chatting, he smiled and said hello: "Cousin, you are also in Paris."

Lu Yiming turned around and said with a smile: "Hello, sister-in-law. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm here just for fun, not on official business."

Li Yiwen asked: "If Boeing doesn't sell it to you, will it be possible for you to go to Europe to buy the plane?"

Lu Yiming said: "Of course, if Boeing doesn't sell it, wouldn't there be Airbus? There's always a way out, right? I plan to go to the Airbus headquarters and customize a private jet. What do you think of the A340-300?

Sample?"

Airbus A340-300 is a high-passenger capacity version of the A340, with a standard capacity of 295 passengers. The fuselage length is 63.6 meters, the fuselage width is 5.64 meters, and the maximum cabin width is 5.28 meters. The cruising speed is Mach 0.82, about one thousand kilometers per hour.

.

Li Yiwen looked surprised: "Are you crazy? This is a large plane. If used as a passenger plane, it can carry three hundred people! Why did you buy such a big plane?"

Lu Yiming said plausibly: "Isn't it normal for men to like big guys?"

Li Yiwen felt a twinge of pain when he heard this, and said, "Do you know how much an A340-300 costs?"

Lu Yiming said: "I consulted with Airbus before coming here. The initial quotation is US$200 million. This is the standard version. If the interior decoration needs to be customized, the price will be calculated separately."

"Two hundred million dollars!?"

Li Yiwen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

This is 1.7 billion Xia national currency.

Lu Yiming said triumphantly: "I guess you don't know yet. I went to the beautiful country this time and sold my PayPal. I made almost one billion US dollars, which is more than enough to buy an A340-300."

Li Yiwen didn't know how to refute, so he could only give a thumbs up and said: "Okay, you are awesome, okay?"

Why is this guy so annoying?

Lu Yiming said: "I plan to go to Toulouse tomorrow. Do you want to go and play together?"

"..."

The next day, Lu Yiming and his party came to Toulouse, the headquarters of Airbus.

Airbus directly sent the company's vice president Guillaume Faury to receive Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming met Guillaume Fourie in the high-end reception room of Airbus.

Guillaume Fourie looked very enthusiastic.

Airbus is now competing globally with Boeing, and a super-rich man from Xia like Lu Yiming is the one they must win over.

In their view, Airbus can enter the Xiaguo market through Lu Yiming by serving the super-rich Lu Yiming well.

"Mr. Lu, I have wanted to meet you for a long time! Today you finally came to our Airbus!"

Lu Yiming smiled faintly, shook hands with Guillaume Faury, and said: "I have thought about Airbus coming to visit me a long time ago. This is a great company."

The sedan chair was carried by everyone. Since Airbus was so generous, Lu Yiming would not be stingy with his words.

After some pleasantries, Lu Yiming got to the point and said, "Do you have the 340 aircraft I need here now? I want to go and have a look first."

"No problem, please come with me."

Guillaume Fourie took Lu Yiming and his party to the Airbus production workshop.

An aircraft of more than sixty meters long is indeed a big one. There happened to be an A340 undergoing final assembly in the factory, so Guillaume Foury took Lu Yiming to visit it.

"The company provides aircraft customization services. If Mr. Lu needs it, I will call the person in charge of the customization department right away."

Lu Yiming said: "My plane must not only have rooms for sleeping and relaxing, but also a banquet hall that can accommodate 30 people. I will use a lot of Chinese-style gilding and gold ornaments throughout the plane."

Li Yiwen couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Are you planning to make the entire plane look like rich gold? Isn't it a bit too tacky?"

Lu Yiming waved his hand and said: "Hey, you don't understand, vulgarity is elegance, it's so comfortable to look at the golden color. Have you ever visited the palace? That kind of luxury is the top luxury, not just piles of

It can be done with just the right materials, but it also needs to be artistic.”

Guillaume Fourie has seen too much about the preferences of the sponsor's father. Over the years, people who have customized airplanes here have all kinds of requirements, and he has long been used to it. In fact, Lu Yiming's request is already a requirement for him.

It's the most normal kind.

"Then, Mr. Lu, let's go to the private customization department to discuss it."

"Walk."

After careful planning by professionals, the interior design of the aircraft was completed, which is expected to cost an additional US$68 million. The interior layout of the aircraft was finally finalized to have four bedrooms, a guest lounge, kitchen and

A dining area that can accommodate thirty people.

The total cost is US$268 million!

Of course, Airbus was very sincere and gave Lu Yiming a discount, erasing a fraction of the eight million US dollars.

The two parties formally signed the contract, and Lu Yiming immediately paid the deposit.

After successfully buying a plane, Lu Yiming was still very excited, thinking that he would own a luxurious flying fortress in the future.

"Okay, I bought the plane and am ready to return to China. Cousin and sister-in-law, you continue to have fun here."

Guillaume Fauri immediately dispatched an A340 to fly Lu Yiming back to China for free.

Speaking of which, Airbus is also a thief. After successfully winning Lu Yiming's order, it immediately revealed the news.

Who made Lu Yiming forget that he signed a confidentiality clause?

These days, as the Internet becomes more and more developed, the speed of news dissemination is fundamentally different from before. The emergence of various portal websites allows the time for fresh information to reach users to be calculated directly in minutes.

Here, Lu Yiming is still crossing the Eurasian continent, while over there, people in Xia State are already boiling because of Lu Yiming's $260 million purchase of the A340.

Lu Yiming's plane had just landed at Baiyun International Airport, and reporters who had been waiting for it eagerly gathered around him.

Lu Yiming walked out of the cabin door and looked at a large group of reporters, a little confused.

After all, at this time, he didn't even know that everyone knew about his purchase of the plane.

A female reporter shouted loudly: "Mr. Lu, is this A340 the latest private jet you bought?"

Only then did Lu Yiming realize that Airbus had directly regarded him as propaganda.

After secretly cursing Angsa people for being despicable, Lu Yiming said decisively: "No, my plane is specially customized and I won't be able to get it until next year."

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Lu, I heard that the price of an Airbus A340 is as high as 1.68129 billion, and the price of the one you customized is 2.13584 billion. Is it true?"

Lu Yiming said: "It's true."

Although I have seen these data in newspapers, now Lu Yiming personally admits that the concept is naturally different.

A group of reporters suddenly felt sad when they thought that their salary was only one or two thousand yuan a month, but Lu Yiming spent more than two billion yuan on buying a plane.

Sometimes, the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and maggots.

In fact, not only reporters, but some of the richest people on the rich list are also confused.

At the headquarters of Delong International Strategic Investment Company, the two brothers Tang Wanli and Tang Wanxin looked very distressed when they read the news in the newspaper.

As the leaders of the Delong family, they control hundreds of billions of assets, but the two brothers' personal assets are not high, only 1.9 billion, ranking 26th on the rich list.

Moreover, most of this 1.9 billion consists of various fixed assets such as stocks, bonds, and various RVs, not cash.

This means that even if they go bankrupt, they cannot afford to buy an A340-300.

Tang Wanli rustled the newspaper in his hand and said to Tang Wanxin with an envious expression: "Lu Yiming is so rich. He is a real billionaire. Compared with him, the two of us are simply poor.

It has to jingle.”

Tang Wanxin sighed and said, "Yes, compared with Lu Yiming, the two of us are simply paupers."
