Chapter 209 Private Jet

"Your business is getting bigger and bigger now. You are running back and forth between BJ, Shenzhen, Shenyang and Hong Kong. Now you have even set up a branch in the United States. If something happens everywhere, you won't be able to cope with it, right?" at the wine table. , After Li Yunpeng asked Duan Yun about his current situation, he shook his head and said.

"Nowadays, communication is very convenient. I have branches and offices in several places. For important matters, please call me directly. For ordinary matters, send fax. My assistant is quite capable, and I usually need to handle it personally. I don’t have much to do, so I’m still busy right now.” Duan Yun said.

"But it's too hard for you to travel back and forth all year round. It's not like I just do business in BJ, so I don't have to travel around." Li Yunpeng took a mouthful of vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth, and then said: "Actually, if I do business like you Since we are doing something so big, we have already bought a plane. This way we can go anywhere conveniently, and we don’t have to buy air tickets and wait for flights..."

"Buy a private jet?" Duan Yun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

A few years ago, Duan Yun wouldn't have dared to think about buying a private jet, because in his subconscious mind in his previous life, airplanes were gold-swallowing beasts, easily costing hundreds of millions of yuan, and the annual maintenance costs and the cost of the crew members were The salary was also an astronomical figure. Even considering Duan Yun's net worth at the time, buying a private jet seemed a bit extravagant.

The most important thing is that at that time, Duan Yun's business was not very big. There was only one headquarters in Shenzhen, and he rarely needed to travel to other places. Unlike now, when he has branches in BJ, Hong Kong, Shenyang, and the United States, Last year, he spent more than half of his time on business trips. Every time he traveled by plane, it was troublesome. He had to bring a lot of staff and bodyguards with him, and he often encountered flight delays.

But now, after listening to what Li Yunpeng said, Duan Yun suddenly felt that it was really necessary to buy a private jet, because with Duan Yun's current financial resources and actual needs, buying a private jet is no longer out of reach. After all, The group company's annual profits are billions of yuan. It is very easy to own a private jet. In addition, it can also improve Duan Yun's work efficiency. Whether it is working domestically or abroad, it is very convenient and efficient. Compared with the time and efficiency costs saved, purchasing a private jet has become a very cost-effective thing.

In fact, the first private jet in China appeared in 1997. In later generations, private jets have almost become the standard equipment for many successful business people. However, in the era of 1997, buying a private jet was very attractive. Attention, even famous throughout the country.

Zhang Yue is this eye-catching person. He was the first person in China to buy a private jet. He is the chairman and president of the famous Yuanda Air Conditioning Co., Ltd.

In 1997, Zhang Yue bought his first private jet. This was not only the first time in his life, but also the first entrepreneur in China to own a private jet.

Moreover, he also owns a lot of luxury cars. In order to facilitate the parking of his private jets and luxury cars, he specially found someone to build a small airport of his own in the internal building of his company, and then also found someone to A large parking lot was built next to the airport. The parking lot is 100 meters long, just to allow the emissions of my luxury cars to be concentrated.

This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and Yuanda Air Conditioning Co., Ltd., which was unknown to the outside world, was heard by men, women, and children.

Yuanda Air Conditioning was born in the late 1980s. It began to go overseas as early as the 1990s and set up a company in the United States. Like Duan Yun, he was one of the first entrepreneurs to set up a branch in the United States.

In addition, in terms of personal wealth, when Zhang Yue purchased the aircraft, his annual sales of Yuanda air conditioners had just exceeded 2 billion, while Duan Yun's net profit in 1993 had already reached more than 6 billion, so

The two of them are not rich at the same level.

Weng, from this point of view, Zhang Yue can afford a private jet, so Duan Yun is not a problem, not to mention that the business scope and branches of Tianyin Group are much larger and more numerous than those of Yuanda Group.

Aircraft have more practical functions and needs for Duan Yun.

Moreover, private jets in this era are actually far less expensive than those in later generations. The total price of the private jet purchased by Zhang Yue was only about 70 million yuan, and the annual maintenance costs did not exceed 2 million. Such a price, for Duan Yun

It's no problem at all.

As for the model of aircraft to purchase, Duan Yun has no plan yet. Zhang Yue originally spent 70 million yuan to purchase an American "Cessna" business jet and a "Bell Helicopter 206" helicopter.

Duan Yun doesn't know much about private jets now, but Li Yunpeng has always been very concerned about private business jets, and it can even be said that he knows them very well, because he has been dreaming of owning his own private jet for these years.

When Duan Yun suggested to Li Yunpeng what private jet to buy, Li Yunpeng first recommended the Gulfstream GIV business jet.

The Gulfstream GIV aircraft can be said to be Gulfstream's best-selling aircraft model in the past ten years or so, and it is also one of the most popular models of international private business aircraft.

The innovative highlights of the GIV are its intercontinental endurance, advanced cockpit and cabin technological innovations, cutting-edge engines combined with larger and lighter wings, giving the GIV an endurance of 7,964 kilometers and a cruising speed of Mach 0.88, and for the first time it was used on a civil aircraft.

A digital management system is used in the cockpit, which not only increases fuel efficiency but also reduces the pilot's workload. The passenger cabin is also equipped with a satellite communication system for the first time.

The GIV first flew on September 19, 1985, and was officially put on the shelves in August 1987. In 1993, an upgraded version-GIV-SP was launched, with sales exceeding 500.

You know, the "Citation" business jet produced by the American Cessna company that Zhang Yue spent 70 million to purchase has a maximum range of only more than 3,000 kilometers. Flying domestically is stress-free, but if you want to fly to the United States, you can only fly to the United States.

It can go through multiple transfers, but it is impossible to fly directly.

The Gulfstream GIV-SP recommended by Li Yunpeng, like Duan Yun, has a maximum range of 9,000km. With such a large range, it can fly directly to any country in Europe. If you go to the United States, you only need to transit in Hawaii once, which can greatly improve Duan Yun's ability to go abroad.

The efficiency is undoubtedly his best choice.

However, the price of this kind of aircraft is much more expensive than ordinary small and medium-sized business aircraft, which is an astonishing RMB 180 million. If other supporting devices and facilities are added, the total value will definitely exceed RMB 200 million. In addition, the annual
