Chapter 117 Xu Liang's Entrepreneurial Venture: Investing in Huanda Automobile
Ryan helped order an AW189 helicopter.
Agusta's US branch happened to have a stock unit that had been cancelled due to the pandemic, and it could be delivered immediately.
Priced at $30 million, sales tax to be paid by the customer.
Eva and Anna also had connections in Russia and managed to purchase two new versions of the Mi-171A2 civilian helicopters.
The Mi-171A2 is completely different from the old Mi-171, which had a bulky and clumsy appearance. It has been equipped with new electronic equipment, and the instrument panel has been changed to five large screens, with fly-by-wire control.
The body structure has also undergone extensive modifications!
Speed +10%
Load capacity +25%
Thanks to the fact that the Russians haven't done anything major lately.
The restrictions have now been relaxed.
Purchasing Russian helicopters is not difficult!
With the help of Buffett, Ryan, and Musk pulling strings, it's easy to get approval and charter a plane to send them over.
+ Tariffs
+ Consumption Tax
+Shipping fee
Two planes for a total of $1400 million!
The Airbus A380 is sold by many airlines, but the most unfortunate one is All Nippon Airways of Japan. It arrived just as the super flu outbreak occurred, and it was left to gather dust in the warehouse.
Even without the pandemic, the A380 has been operating at a significant loss for most airlines worldwide (except Emirates)!
The reason is also very simple——
Low occupancy rate
The plane is too big; it's not even full!
╮(╯_╰)╭
But Jiang Feng didn't care. The system provided free refueling for life, so who cared about fuel consumption? He purchased two aircraft, one passenger and one cargo.
After repeated comparisons, China Southern Airlines was still the most cost-effective option, taking only 8 years and costing only 50 million US dollars.
Two planes, each worth $100 million!
Registered in China, it doesn't pay consumption tax or customs duties. Moreover, China has an Airbus factory, so it can be renovated with luxurious decorations and cargo layout, and the entire aircraft can be overhauled at the same time.
A total of $1.5 million!
Two large passenger planes
Three helicopters
In total, it amounts to nearly two hundred million US dollars!
OK
Buffett, Ryan, and Musk all helped make many phone calls and get all the approvals sorted out.
"Jiang, are you really not considering fuel consumption?"
"I heard that the fuel cost for a full flight of an Airbus A380 is $200,000, which is extremely poor value for money!"
"Oh, shit, I almost forgot..."
"Your house is surrounded by oil!"
(→_→)
Although they have money, they are unwilling to buy large passenger planes like the A380, not only because of fuel consumption, but also because parking fees, maintenance fees, takeoff and landing fees, etc., are several times more expensive than private planes.
Why bother?
Jiang Feng casually explained, "This isn't for my own use. It's mainly for work convenience. Like this trip to Japan, we rented three planes in total, which was very troublesome!"
"Secondly, it's to make it easier for everyone to travel abroad."
"For example, I plan to send the children of my Chinese employees to the United States as exchange students, and send the children of my American employees to China as exchange students to broaden their horizons!"
"For example, company trips, etc."
The cowboys, Zhou Kai and the others, were all thrilled. President Jiang bought the Airbus A380, actually for us?
General Jiang's YYDS~
(T~T)
Watching them chat and laugh so happily.
Diver Jona exclaimed to Huang Weiming, "Uncle Ming, how come President Jiang is so familiar with Buffett and Musk?"
Warren Buffett, the stock market guru, the world's richest man!
"Buying an Airbus A380 is incredibly extravagant..."
Huang Weiming, with a "you're making a fuss over nothing" look on his face, quietly introduced, "That Mr. Ryan is no ordinary person either. He's the CEO of ConocoPhillips. You know ConocoPhillips, right?"
"One of the major U.S. oil companies, we were at a ConocoPhillips gas station last time, filling up our tanks and buying lubricants."
“I’m telling you—”
"Beneath President Jiang's fishing grounds lies a super oil field. I heard from the cowboys that it earns a billion dollars every year!"
Qiao Na, Song Nan, Cheng Yongren, Li Guohao, and Zhang Yu were all stunned and couldn't help but gasp.
hiss~
Blanching
"If we could work for him and live such an easy and leisurely life every day, that would be so comfortable."
Li Guohao's spontaneous exclamation.
Everyone fell silent.
The path to the underworld is as deep as the sea; there's no turning back.
Huang Weiming also sighed: "Yes! I've wanted to retire from this life for a long time! Unfortunately, once you're in the underworld, you're not in control of your own destiny. We're being watched by police from various countries, and there's no way out for us."
"Unless someone can protect us!"
Huang Weiming and the others looked at Jiang Feng in unison, perhaps this was the key to their "retirement from the criminal world".
Even Buffett was completely impressed by Jiang Feng!
There is an old Chinese saying—
Those who are virtuous will receive much help.
Those who stray from the right path find few supporters.
Perhaps it was Jiang Feng's generosity and sincerity that made these employees trust him wholeheartedly and without hesitation.
This kind of charisma is extremely rare. For example, the "Great Terror" that Jews fear most also had an explosive charisma that could turn those around him into fanatical believers!
If that kid continues to fight Jiang Feng, he'll definitely suffer the consequences and will be in big trouble sooner or later.
quickly
They enjoyed the delicious meal prepared by Jiang Feng, and Musk couldn't help but exclaim, "Jiang, your cooking skills are getting better and better, and the wines are tasting better and better too!"
Buffett and Ryan also praised it highly:
"This wine has a score of 96, which is a bit low!"
"Hmm~"
"These Chinese dishes are also good, very delicious. Is this Asian carp? The fish skin is sweet and sour, good. I've never eaten this before, I'm afraid my blood sugar won't be able to handle it!"
"This seafood is so fresh."
The stock market guru raised his glass to express his gratitude to everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for the delicious ingredients you have prepared! They are truly a feast for the eyes!"
"Cheers~"
"Cheers~"
Zhou Kai and his group were fine, they didn't really know anything about Buffett, but the cowboys were excited. This was the legendary stock market guru, a legendary figure in the United States, who actually toasted them!
( ̄? ̄)
Sure enough, it's great to work for the boss. These big shots have to give them face. If there were no boss, would these big shots even bother with them? They probably wouldn't even bother to give them a second glance!
ah~
Huang Weiming's team also felt extremely honored. They were originally just shady characters trying to make a living through shady dealings. Without Jiang Feng, how would they have had the chance to meet these big shots? Dream on!
Jiang Feng knows so many important people.
Perhaps, it really can protect them?
Um~
Huang Weiming's expression gradually hardened.
After the meal, everyone took photos with Buffett, Musk, Ryan, and the other bigwigs before seeing them off.
Doug reluctantly reported to Jiang Feng—
"Boss, Mr. Musk has taken away three more barrels of wine, all from the Lady of Fortune series."
Jiang Feng stared in astonishment:
Holy crap! When?
"When you get vaccinated."
Jiang Feng: ? ? ? ? ? (Confused)
Holy shit!
Did I fall for a diversionary tactic?
( ̄ Pan ̄)
"Sigh, bandits are everywhere, the world is going to the dogs!"
Jiang Feng casually joked and sent the group photo to his high school classmates' group chat. He also took a screenshot of some transaction records from the [Hong Kong Stock Connect] software backend and sent it to the group chat as well.
Huanda Auto's stock price has started to surge again!
The stock price has almost doubled!
Jiang Feng's profits exceeded 130 billion RMB!
And it's still soaring!
水中月
镜中花
This bubble could burst at any time.
[Jiang Feng @ Xu Liang: Brother Liang, you're truly the Chinese version of Warren Buffett! I had dinner with Buffett today, and he was very impressed with you, praising you as having the makings of a stock market genius!]
[Holy crap!]
[ ̄ Pan ̄]
[Is this really Warren Buffett?]
That's right!
[Awesome!]
The old classmates were so envious they were splitting with envy, so heartbroken they were in agony, and so regretful they were screaming in despair. Xu Liang, on the other hand, was so angry he almost vomited blood.
"I'll blanch the fuck!"
"Is this bastard spreading rumors about foreigners again?"
"You're some kind of immortal!"
Amidst his anger, he felt a strange unease. Could it be that I truly possess a special talent? That my words can become law? Or that I'm a jinx?
Otherwise, why would they often guess correctly?
Perhaps, I really am a genius!
(surprise)
"Jiang Feng failed his college entrance exam and still managed to start a business successfully, so why can't I? I'm going to start a business too!"
"Fundraising for stock speculation!"
"Let's test the waters with Huanda Automobile?"
"I feel like it could increase several times over!"
