Chapter 220 Gulfstream G650ER
"NetJets is indeed the business model, Mr. Han. Or, Berkshire Hathaway and every subsidiary they control. Would rather earn 3% for 30 years than a year Earn 300%."

Sitting in this small three-story glass building closely connected to the hangar, Han Yi couldn't help nodding, responding to Chris Curtin's evaluation of competitors who seemed objective and neutral, but actually hidden secrets, while looking at them. in this private waiting room.

The room is not big, with a few single fabric sofas placed on the opposite walls, plus dark solid wood bookcases filled with "The Economist" and "Business Weekly" that are rarely flipped. The author, the oil painting that can't see the artistic conception, and the floor-to-ceiling hanger that looks a bit abrupt at the entrance because no one cares about it due to the hot weather...

This so-called break room is more like the cubicle of any printer paper sales manager in The Office.

As for the Chris Curtin secretly recommended by Mark Weisser, he is wearing a navy blue Zegna suit without a tie, a white shirt with two buttons unbuttoned seemingly casually, short brown hair in four or six points, and can see He has all eight teeth, but he couldn't see a smile with creases around his eyes, and his skin was still redder than a Maine lobster after only being exposed to the sun for less than 5 minutes after being greeted at the door and seated in the lounge.Chris Curtin's aura is no different from those Wall Street financial brothers who gather in groups at PJ Clarke's in Brookfield Square to enjoy happy hour at five o'clock in the afternoon on weekdays.

It is indeed a deliberate decision by Jet Linx to appoint him as Senior Vice President of Aircraft Management Services Sales in Boston, Washington DC and New York.

Among other things, just this temperament, throw him at any financial exhibition where hedge fund managers and private equity fund managers run everywhere, and Chris can immediately blend in without any trace of deliberate performance.

"Yes, I know that for a company, there are three most important things: assets, customers, and status. According to the NetJets model, they can continuously expand the company's assets in the most cost-effective way. In the process of maintaining aircraft for NetJets, customers will become more and more sticky as sunk costs increase. In this way, NetJets can also maintain a higher status than other private airlines. After all, in the shared ownership In this model, NetJets is a partner of billionaires, not ... a simple supplier."

Originally wanted to use the word servant, but the careful Han Yi glanced at Corey McIntosh who was pouring tea for him, and changed to another more neutral word.

"I appreciate the business mindset, but unfortunately the service they offer doesn't match my needs. I need to fully own, fully own a private jet and need a team experienced enough to manage it, it's as simple as that .”

In the same way, Han Yi had already said it in a more tactful way at the beginning of this meeting.The reason why I want to emphasize it again is because he doesn't want to repeat the process of selling and rejecting. He was tired enough with Mark Weiser and Diana Olek yesterday.If he hadn't been interested in understanding the operating philosophy of Warren Buffett's world's largest private airline, he wouldn't have let them spend so much time talking and spending so much time.

"Everyone has a different understanding of private jets and customized journeys, Mr. Han. I think that being open-minded and embracing different needs should be the best service experience that the private aviation industry should provide to customers. The biggest difference."

When talking about customer experience and customized services, Han Yi could clearly feel that Chris Curtin's body movements and smile were much more enthusiastic and open than at the beginning, and even his tone was mixed with There was a hint of a midwestern accent that you can't notice if you don't listen carefully.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not pouring dirty water on the wolves. At Jet Linx, we've always had a lot of respect for the great people who work at NetJets. In fact, we're from Nebraska just like them. Omaha. The friendly hospitality of the Midwest is the core competitiveness of our two companies that have been able to go out of the Great Plains and continue to win the trust and support of customers in the past decades."

Chris Curtin's smoke bomb is quite sophisticated, understatement can confuse the public, and transfer the deep background of NetJets to Jet Linx. It is true that NetJets was founded in 1964 and has 52 years of continuous high-end aviation service records. However, Jet Linx, founded by Nebraska entrepreneur Danny Walker, was not officially launched until the end of 1999. put into operation.

"There is no doubt that NetJets is the largest private airline in the world. With 900 aircraft, this scale cannot be compared with many commercial airlines. As for Jet Linx, although it is the seventh largest private airline in North America, it is not as good as Burke Compared with super giants like Hill Hathaway, there is still a long way to go to catch up. Currently, we have more than 650 employees and are managing 100 aircraft.”

From Han Yi’s ears, Chris’s wording is worth trying to figure out. It seems that he is praising NetJets, but in fact, he first compares it with commercial airlines, forming the preconceived notion that “NetJets operates in the mode of commercial aviation” in the minds of customers. concept.Then I mentioned that Jet Linx ranks seventh in the United States, giving customers a reassurance that they don't have to worry about giving up NetJets and choosing Jet Linx, which is a consumption downgrade.

Of course, using the negative vocabulary of behemoth to finalize the image of NetJets as a bully, and throwing out a 6.5:1 ratio of the number of employees to the number of aircraft, strengthens the brand concept of Jet Linx that is both beginning to take shape and refined operations.

As expected of the sales of luxury jet airliners responsible for more than half of the east coast business, the simple comparison of one or two sentences in a mild tone is combined with countless psychological tactics accumulated in actual combat.

"The original intentions of the two companies are absolutely good. They both want to provide customers who yearn for cloud life with top-level enjoyment in line with their wealth and status. But...you know, if a company is too large, it will inevitably spawn Get a big brother mentality."

Chris Curtin bobbed his arms up and down, imitating his Big Brother image in an eerie voice.

“You don’t understand this industry!”

"How do you know what your needs are?"

"Listen to me, I know what's best for you!"

"I'm the one who knows the best about private jets!"

Americans like to listen to stories, like to use stories to personify anything, and then use the created personalities to explain the behaviors and phenomena they see.

Russian, heavily accented villain.

Mattel, the corporate suit man who objectifies women.

Matthew McConaughey, always fond of shirtless, overly articulating Texas prodigal son.

The advantages of personalized narrative are obvious. When a complex news event or social organization can be deconstructed layer by layer until only two attributes remain, "good" or "bad", consumers can make choices more easily.

Buy the good ones, not the bad ones.

In this fully capitalized society, big business wants to see consumers evolve, or more accurately, degenerate, into this crude dualism.99.99% of the annual advertising budget is to cultivate a personalized narrative method.

Under the relentless propaganda barrage of mass media, pop music, and hit movies, Americans have become dumber, more blind, and more trusting of labels.They no longer want to hear the incisive political analysis of CBS's "Six 10 Minutes", they just want to hear the touching stories on "America's Got Talent" and let the judges help them shoot the golden button.

Storytelling, in any country, is not as important as the United States.Anyone who wants to sell and be successful in the US must be able to tell a story that aligns with American values.

Chris Curtin is such a person, and the story he chooses to tell is also perfectly in line with the seemingly liberal, but actually neoconservative, trend of wealthy people in big cities on the East Coast of the United States, especially in New England.

They like experienced professionals but hate any attempt to use that as an excuse to manipulate everything.

Using this as a yardstick, Chris Curtin's portrayal of Big Brother is a combination of Hillary and Trump's loathsomeness.

The former accounted for a larger proportion.

"According to NetJets, it is financially irresponsible to own a private jet alone. So, for your own good, they refuse to provide this service, even if you are a billionaire. Of course, you also know What's the real reason they're doing this?"

“At Jet Linx, we do things in a completely different way. We know that each of our clients is the most outstanding group of people in this elite class of society, and they have enough intelligence and financial resources to do what is best for them. Choice. Therefore, we will never, in any way, close the door of your dream.”

"We welcome customers to join the cause we love. We humbly grow with our customers on their journey. We also draw nourishment from our customers and improve our understanding of private aviation. After all, you think about it, for a company that provides customized services What could be more important to a private airline than the different personalities of each individual?”

Like a passionate aviation missionary, Chris Curtin opened his arms, lowered his voice, and catered to Han Yi's demands with a magnetic voice.

"Therefore, I proudly introduce to you the most distinctive project of Jet Linx, the comprehensive management of private jets."

"What we provide is a real one-stop service. Although the ratio of employees to aircraft is 6.5:1, there will be a full twelve teams serving you at that time. Maintenance departments, safety departments, and operations departments across the United States , Management Department, Flight Coordination Department, Fleet Energy Efficiency Department, responsible for your entire process from inspection and maintenance to take-off and landing.Local customer service team, administrative management team and pilots and captains in 24 flight bases And flight attendants, [-]-hour shifts to meet your different needs."

“Additionally, there is the Accounting and Finance department to assist you with all taxation, bookkeeping and financing issues related to private jets. At the same time, Jet Linx’s professional human resources team will help you manage each of the above tasks properly People. If you want to use a whole new crew that won't be shared, that's fine. We'll take care of recruiting, training, scheduling, payroll and benefits for your flight crew, without you and your busy schedule The team, spend any energy on travel, and truly achieve 360-degree hosting without dead ends."

"Whether you are using Jet Linx's existing pilot lineup directly, or want to recruit your own exclusive team, we will demand and train them to the highest standard. Our PIC, the captain, needs to have the highest rating For the airline transport pilot license, the total flight time must be more than 3000 hours, the time of driving a turbine-driven aircraft must be more than 500 hours, and the flight time as a PIC must also be guaranteed to be more than 200 hours. The co-pilot is relatively young, but also Requires a commercial pilot certificate and is allowed to fly the same type rating as your private jet. 1500 hours total flight time, 50 hours in turbo aircraft, and even they need to fly 50 hours alone as captain.”

“Only the most professional team can provide you with the safest and most comfortable flight experience. And our flight experience is not just about being in the sky at an altitude of 20 feet. Jet Linx’s service process even before you arrive at the terminal. It's already started. Our owners, in over [-] Jet Linx private terminals, are supported by local teams..."

"Does this terminal count?" Han Yi glanced at the logo of Meridian Flight Management Company hanging on the wall and asked.

"Yes, this is also one of them." Following Han Yi's gaze, Chris Curtin turned his head and glanced at the green sign behind him, neither his expression nor his tone changed at all.At least 80% of the east coast customers he has dealt with will ask the same question, "Currently this is a private terminal owned by Meridian Aircraft Management Company in name, but Jet Linx has a terminal leasing agreement with Meridian. Last year, more than 90% of the customers and planes that took off and landed through this terminal belonged to Jet Linx, and only a small number were Meridian’s own customers. Therefore, it is no problem for you to regard it as Jet Linx’s own terminal... ...Moreover, I will let you in on a secret, we are now negotiating with Meridian about mergers and acquisitions, I believe that in the near future, this place will be able to hang up, and only the Jet Linx logo will be hung."

"Understood." Han Yi nodded. He is not very interested in whether the terminal itself belongs to Jet Linx. After all, it is difficult for most private airlines to have their own terminal in every big city.Even among the top commercial airlines in the world, few can do this.

But it's always good to ask tough questions that can frustrate the opponent.This allows you to always give the other party a sense of oppression and urgency in the following conversations, so as to keep the balance of power between the negotiating parties from being broken.

"please continue."

"Okay, Mr. Han, as you can see at this time, Jet Linx's local service personnel will remain warm and kind from Omaha, and take the time to get to know each of our owners, with your family members, intimate The preferences and needs of loved ones or friends. Your in-flight concierge team will ensure that your every personal preference during the flight is met, and assist you to fully enjoy our 'Elevated Lifestyle' customer benefit plan. Hotel, travel experience, transportation, Health, leisure, fashion, family...anything you need, we will do our best to meet. Literally, if you are in...Dallas tonight and can't go home to spend time with your children, we can even help you to school Pick them up from school, drop them off at football camp, take them to pizza and ice cream, even tuck them in and sing them a lullaby, no problem."

"That may take a long time." Han Yi shrugged and said with a smile, "There are no similar plans for the time being."

"Then you must remember that we will always be here." Chris Curtin's response was very measured, "Of course, not only the front-end service team, but also the back-end maintenance team, we will also provide you with them. detailed information, and guarantee that every face you see will become your most loyal friend. Because, we believe that when you walk into the hangar, you see familiar faces waving to you and working hard to provide you with Your confidence in the security of your assets under custody is naturally at its highest when it comes to time and flight proven private jet maintenance services.”

"Whether the repair is planned or unexpected, our dedicated team coordinates the service. Reliability, compliance and efficiency are no more important words to Jet Linx."

“I can assure you with anything that you are here at the highest standard of service in the industry. But ‘top’ is not the only word that describes us. It will be associated with private jets, but the experience that does exist in Jet Linx. As I just told you, we have the seventh largest private jet fleet in the United States. This scale effect allows us to provide you with the most practical, annual Save you tens of thousands of dollars in rebates. Save up to 10% on pilot training costs and up to 20% on single maintenance costs. Fuel costs are only 75% of the industry average, and, thanks to our unrivaled flight safety rates, you You can even buy aviation insurance from designated partners at a [-]% discount.”

"You are indeed a very good salesman, Chris." Han Yi nodded slightly, and he did not hesitate to praise Chris Curtin.One reason is that Chris is really skilled in speaking and has rich experience. Instead of making people feel boring, the lengthy introduction also gives people a rare sense of intimacy.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Han Yi chose to praise Chris Curtin.The real motive is that Han Yi is very aware of the weaknesses of salesmen, because he is also half a salesman himself - if he wants to take advantage of them and maximize the benefits, the first thing he has to do is to make them As an individual, separate yourself from the company behind you.The price tag offered by companies that recognize their own value while questioning their effectiveness.

Many salespersons will naturally have a mentality in this situation-the customer recognizes me, but not my company, so I need to use my authority to facilitate this order, lest the company hold me back.

Anyway, making less money is the company's business, and my commission cannot be reduced much.The customer likes me so he does business with us. Being able to help the company sign this deal is already considered as giving face to the boss.

In short, Han Yi's style of play is to "make friends when it's time to make enemies".

Tried and tried.

"I can already see you as CEO announcing M&A news at a press conference, whether it's at Jet Linx or anywhere else."

"It's not that I'm good, Mr. Han, but the service provided by Jet Linx is really outstanding." Chris Curtin's answer was very humble, without any emotional fluctuations.He loosened his tie, raised his head and poured a mouthful of ice water to moisten his dry and smoky throat.

"I probably already know about the service items." Han Yi pondered for a moment and said, "So, what are the charging standards for this kind of management project?"

"The key still depends on the model you choose, but as long as it is not a big guy like the A380, it is generally not too expensive."

Chris Curtin did not answer Han Yi's question directly. He knew that now was not the time to discuss the annual management fee.

Because, there is still a commission that should be earned that has not been earned.

"So, the current focus is to help you decide on a plane you like."

Eyeing the assistant to push the TV screen into the lounge, Chris Curtin took out a document from the briefcase and began to review it carefully.

"If I'm not mistaken, yesterday afternoon our account manager should have conducted a detailed conference call with you to understand your most typical flight mission overview, planned frequent destinations, envisaged travel types, How many passengers you typically travel with, and how much luggage you typically take with you, can help you recommend the most suitable aircraft type."

"Yes."

A conference call did take place, but it was with Corey McIntosh, not Yi Han himself, who didn't have the time to answer the lengthy list of questions himself.Corey knows specific needs and situations, and he'll take care of them.

"Then, our account manager wrote, Ahh... you're only considering one model, the Gulfstream G650, aren't you?"

Licking his lips, Chris Curtin tried his best to suppress his excitement. Young people in their 20s who ask for G650 are either crazy or unreasonably rich.

Judging from Google's search records, the Chinese rich man in front of him clearly belongs to the latter category.

"Mainly because the Global 7500 has been waiting for too long."

Han Yi teased in a low voice.This Bombardier model can fly non-stop for 7500 hours, and the flight distance is as long as 650 miles. It is no problem to fly the longest flight in the world, such as New York to Hong Kong, or Los Angeles to Sydney.It is very suitable for Han Yi who will often travel between North America and Europe in the future, and who will return to his hometown from time to time.In addition, the Global 20 is 650% larger than the Gulfstream G[-]. From the perspective of the imagination space of the interior decoration and the number of people it can accommodate, it is somewhat better than the G[-].

But unfortunately, although NetJets has opened up the shared ownership plan of the Global 7500 and even the 8000, the first 7500 will officially enter service and will have to wait until December 12, two years later. Han Yi, who is eager to cash out, obviously cannot wait that long.Even after paying the full amount, you can still get rewards if you can’t get the product, and the positive feedback is definitely not as strong as the spot product that can be seen and touched.

In mid-2016, the top model that billionaires can immediately enjoy is the Gulfstream G650.

"Then...you want the G650ER more, don't you?"

G650ER is an upgraded version launched by Gulfstream on May 2014, 5.As for which aspect has been upgraded?You can tell by the name, ER, the abbreviation of Extended Range, which means the extended version of the voyage.The unupgraded G18 is still unable to fly ultra-long routes, but the upgraded G650ER can fly from Teterboro to Hong Kong.

"I'm from Asia, Chris." Han Yi responded, "I definitely hope that the trip home will be more convenient and direct."

"Understood, although the preparation time was very short, we still contacted every G650ER on sale in the world, and their agents... Please look at the TV screen, if you don't mind."

Chris Curtin straightened his arms and gently reminded Han Yi to turn his eyes to the TV screen where the assistant had set up the projection program.

"I'm sure you are well aware that the G650ER is a model that only became available at the end of 2014, less than a year and a half from now. Few people own them, and even fewer people want to sell them So far, the number of G650ERs listed for sale has dropped from 18 to 13 globally."

"However, the good news is that while the number of units available for sale is down, so is the average list price per aircraft. Last month... it dropped another point, and it's already down 650% from the peak price of the G18ER. No To tell you the truth, Mr. Han, the current private jet trading market, both in terms of activity and price, is at the bottom, and it is a good time to enter the market."

This so-called price is at a low point, and the trick of rushing into the game to catch the leak, as long as it is said from the mouth of the salesman, it must be a blindfold.In the business jet business market, there is talk of a "young version".As long as a private jet is less than ten years old, it can be called a "young version".As of July 2016, Gulfstream aircraft less than 7 years old accounted for only 7% of all available second-hand Gulfstream aircraft, and the latest G650ER accounted for an even smaller proportion, hovering around 1-2%.

From this aspect alone, the activity of the G650ER model is indeed very low.Moreover, when a commodity reaches the level of tens of millions of dollars, its supply and demand relationship and price trend will be out of the category of normal commodities.It is not that the total inventory in the market decreases, and the average price will definitely rise. Whether it is 18 or 13, there are only so many consumers who can afford it. Whether the price will increase, whether the price will be lowered, or how much the price will be adjusted depends on the performance of these buyers.The data given by Chris Curtin is not wrong. The current market price of G650ER has dropped by 18% compared to the peak period, but UBS market analysts believe that the average price of G650ER is still 5% to 10%. % room for adjustment.

If Han Yi is a normal billionaire, he should wait patiently for another year or two, or even half a year.When Global 7000 and 7500 are launched one after another, the unique advantages of G650ER will no longer exist, and the price will naturally continue to drop.

But money can't buy you happiness, which is a precise commentary on Han Yi.

No matter how high the price reduction is, it can't compare with the rewards they give.

"It seems that I have chosen the most perfect time." Thinking of this, Han Yi did not entangle with Chris Curtin on the current market situation, he said what he said, "Then, these 13 Which plane do you recommend the most?"

"To answer that question, first look at your personal needs for a private jet."

Still not in a hurry to answer questions head-on, Chris Curtin whetted the buyer's appetite while also providing him with valuable information bit by bit.Exchange value for trust, use trust for time, and use time to win profits.

"Through my communication with you, I can't say that I fully understand you, but so many years of experience in private jet transactions allow me to at least have a roughly accurate inference about your tendencies... I don't think you want to go Buying a group business jet, or a charter jet that's already in service with a private airline, right? Because the wear and tear on them is much greater than an aircraft owned by an individual."

Chris Curtin motioned to his assistant to press the remote control a few times, and the basic information and pictures of a G650ER instantly appeared on the screen.

"Tail number M-VITA, production number 6099, delivered to Matrix Aviation on December 2014, 12... Well, an expensive Christmas present." Chris Curtin joked, Continues, “It’s a Los Angeles-based private airline that’s been a service-only airline for a long time, but the last two years it’s moved into charter and shared ownership. They’ve clearly underestimated the competition in those segments, though. They could not bear the loss soon, and began to sell their aircraft. The 24 is the most expensive one. Their current selling price is not particularly high, and it can even be said to be the lowest among the 6099 aircraft, only 13 million, which is even lower than the original selling price of a G6000.”

"Why so low?"

"Well, the first reason is that Matrix Airlines owes a lot of loans to the Bank of Utah. If they don't sell it quickly, the plane will be mortgaged to the bank's board of directors. Second... Although the plane is under the name of Matrix Airlines, But this company has very few own customers, and they often lease this G650ER to other companies, and we even used it twice for customers.”

"So, even though it's only been in service for a year and a half, this G650ER has a high flight mileage. Well, although the condition of the aircraft is still good, but..."

"Then don't think about it." Han Yi waved his hand, "I would rather give a little more than a defective product."

He wished he had spent more.

"I thought so." Chris Curtin had a look of surprise, "This is a bit tricky, because most of the G650ERs hanging out are in the same situation, such as this...N650AB. Hong Kong Star Group Business charter jet, delivered in November 2014, upgraded to ER version five months ago, is currently on sale.”

"Is it from Hong Kong..." Han Yi rubbed his chin, thinking seriously whether HK SAR belongs to his investment forbidden area.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, there is already a Huaguo buyer interested in this plane, and he is going through the quotation process, called... Dover Group."

"Forget it." Hearing that there was a bid from a group from his hometown, Han Yi quickly refused. At least at this stage, he must try to keep a low profile so as not to be noticed by those who might know his true identity. I like this kind of... business charter jet, the decoration looks a bit rigid, and it takes too long to refurbish after buying it. I want it to be put into use right now.”

"Understood." Han Yi's reasons for preparation were very good, and Chris Curtin did not have any doubts.He waved his hand to the right, indicating to the assistant to continue showing the information.

"Then this plane is actually more suitable for you. The interior decoration is very, very luxurious and the comfort level is very high."

"The production number 6006 means that this aircraft is the sixth delivered G650 in the world, and an ER version upgrade was done last year. The most important thing is that this aircraft, since its delivery to the present, has not Except for the transition from Vanna to the Isle of Man and from the Isle of Man to Cyprus, its actual mileage is almost zero.”

"You don't need to buy it at home?" Han Yi laughed dumbly, "Is this how rich you are?"

"The buyer is really, really rich, arguably one of the top [-] wealthiest people in a country, but no, 'buy it home as a collectible,' that's not really why the mileage is going to zero." Chris - Curtin organized the sentence in his mind, and then said tactfully, "Its owner is the Russian oligarch, Gennady Timchenko."

"No wonder."

Han Yi suddenly realized.

Gennady Timchenko, the founder of the Volga Group, an energy and infrastructure tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, is indeed one of the ten richest people in Russia.

The reason why he can be so rich is naturally due to his close relationship with Putin.

And in 2016, what kind of status quo are the rich people who have close ties with Putin and the Russian government facing?
"Sanctions."

Han Yi said thoughtfully.

"He was sanctioned?"

"That's right." Chris Curtin nodded and said yes, "After the Crimea incident in 2014, Timchenko was placed on the sanctions list. All assets held in the United States were frozen and could not enter the United States , Moreover, all companies registered and operating in the United States, regardless of whether their headquarters are in the United States, cannot provide him with services.”

"So, Gulfstream canceled their service contract with Timchenko, refused to supply him with parts, and the captain couldn't even use the navigation and built-in maps, which is equivalent to turning this G650 into a scrap metal. The blackest What is the humor? In order to avoid sanctions, Timchenko changed the place of registration and registered company twice, all of which were found out, and then continued to maintain the sanctions. Last year, Gulfstream told him that if he upgraded to the ER version, he would change to the second Registered in three places, it is possible to escape the supervision of the US government.”

"I didn't expect that the sanctions would continue after the money was spent."

"Gulfstream..." Han Yi smacked his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"It sounds despicable, but according to Gulfstream's internal staff, they had received some information from within the government that they could operate in this way. In the end, the sanctions were not lifted. It seems that something went wrong."

"If this is the case, then how can I guarantee that the sanctions will not continue after I buy this plane?" Han Yi frowned and asked, "Besides, an aircraft that is being sanctioned should not be able to apply for it in the United States." Sign up."

"You can register in Europe first, and then the broker of this plane will help you with the follow-up matters."

"broker?"

"It's brokers, we call them brokers in the industry." Chris Curtin explained, "For an eight-figure transaction, many rich people will not trust buyers who make random offers, and it is not convenient for them to come forward in their identities, so Most people entrust the plane to a well-connected broker to handle the deal."

"Specifically on this plane, the name of the broker is Matthieu Pezan, the founder of a brokerage agency in Monaco called Buson Aviation." Chris Curtin did not hide the broker's information, and the background of the plane It's quite complicated, and no smart person would want to associate themselves with Russian oligarchs.Secondly, Jet Linx does not work as a broker, and the commissions he gets are commissions from business introductions with other brokers.

"He has already found a relationship with Luxembourg. After the down payment is in place, he will first ask Luxembourg's airline to apply for lifting the sanctions. If the lifting is unsuccessful, the down payment will be returned in full."

"How long will it take to cancel the application?" Most people will definitely ask how much the down payment is, but what Han Yi cares most about is undoubtedly the time.

"About two years..." Chris Curtin asked knowingly, "Shouldn't the waiting time exceed your psychological expectations?"

"For two years, I might as well wait for the Global 7500."

Han Yi sighed and looked out the window at the empty hangar.

"Among the 13 aircraft, isn't there a suitable choice?"

"Not many, but there is... there is one."

Chris Curtin's mouth curled into a smile.

"In fact, that plane was at Teterboro Airport."

"The tail number is N652CH."

"Production serial number 6074."

"The first delivery in the world is the ER version of the G650 from the factory."

"The frequency of use is not high, and most of them are short-distance sailings on the east coast... However, there may be a prerequisite that does not meet your requirements."

"What prerequisites?"

"It's a business machine."

"If it is not used a lot, it is not impossible to consider enterprise use." Han Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Which company?"

"Registered in White Plains, New York..."

"JPMorgan Chase North America Headquarters."
