Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 436 Private Jets
Li Lei has long thought of this possibility. The Nazarbayev family regards the Caspian Sea oil circle as a taboo, so how could it be possible for others to intervene so easily?So he first introduced the situation of salt-alkali resistant soybeans to Nazarbayev, and then promised that he would not conduct research work related to oil and natural gas on any piece of leased land, let alone fight for oil exploration rights, and if someone found The land he leased may contain oil and natural gas, and if he provides sufficient evidence and certain compensation, then he will return the land to Kazakhstan, and Kazakhstan officials will negotiate with these people.

After Nazarbayev went down, he convened a think tank to analyze Li Lei's plan, and then asked them to come up with a contract template with stricter terms. After reading it, Li Lei did not express doubts, and Nazarbayev believed it. Li Lei is indeed here for the land. He wants to grow soybeans in the saline-alkali lowlands of the Caspian Sea, not because he has any ambitions for oil and gas. In addition, they have cooperated for ten years. The country of Kazakhstan is still the Nazarbayev family, and Li Lei is very interesting and has brought them a lot of profits, so Nazarbayev finally agreed to Li Lei's plan and set aside a large area of ​​land for rent. give them.

In addition to the saline-alkali land around the Caspian Sea being used to grow saline-alkali-resistant soybeans, Li Lei also rented a large amount of land in other places for the cultivation of common soybeans, rapeseed, sunflower seeds, linseed and other oil crops. The conditions of these cultivated lands are relatively good. It is very suitable for planting these, and in the future Kazakhstan will often export these oil crops or the refined oil extracted from these oil crops.

In the future, Kazakhstan's rapeseed output will reach 280 million tons, close to one-fifth of China's; sunflower seed output will reach 100 million tons, more than one-third of China's total output; One-third of the production; these oil crops add up to a lot.

But at present, oil plantation in Kazakhstan has not developed due to lack of funds, technology and market. Without Li Lei, a large number of domestic agricultural companies entered Kazakhstan after the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, and leased land locally to grow oil crops, It was only after the oil mill was opened to produce refined oil that Kazakhstan began to plant soybeans, rapeseed, sunflower, flax and other oil crops on a large scale, which solved a large number of employment problems, increased the income of local residents, and created new opportunities for the Kazakh government and dignitaries. profit.

But now Li Lei has advanced this time point. At the same time, because Kazakhstan is located in the deepest part of the Eurasian continent and has little contact with the outside world, it is very conducive to keeping secrets. When the soybean war starts in the future, I am afraid that the four major grain merchants will not expect it. , Li Lei was able to get a large amount of oil crops from Kazakhstan.

Huinong’s workers are treated very well in Kazakhstan. Their wages are higher than those in China, and they also have overseas subsidies. Moreover, Kazakhstan’s political situation is relatively stable, without the turmoil in Africa and Southeast Asia. There are almost no disadvantages except being far away from home, so many workers not only I am working steadily in Kazakhstan, and I want my relatives and friends to come over. Anyway, if you go to work in coastal areas, you can only go back all year round during the Chinese New Year. If this is the case, it is better to come to Kazakhstan. You can earn more here, and this No matter how you say it is going abroad, you can brag about it when you go home during the Chinese New Year.

It’s just that Huinong’s Kazakhstan branch has been recruiting workers before, but the number of places is not very large. After all, they still have to take care of local employment in Kazakhstan, so it’s hard for them to wait for a good opportunity. Now, Huinong has suddenly expanded With the investment in Kazakhstan, the demand for personnel is also increasing rapidly. There are so many jobs at once. Why don't you contact your relatives and friends in China and let them come over?

Therefore, Huinong’s employees don’t care about the high price of international long-distance calls at this time. After using up the free quota given to them by Huinong every month, they gritted their teeth and spent their own money to call, wanting to call relatives and friends who have good relations with them They all called out to give them a chance to make money too.

Huinong also thoughtfully gave a solution. Those who want to work in Kazakhstan do not need to spend a lot of money to come to Kazakhstan for an interview. They can have an initial interview at the nearest Huinong branch. After passing the initial interview, Huinong will pay for their exit Send them to the provincial company for a re-examination. After passing the re-examination, they will be concentrated in XJ for preliminary training, teaching them work skills, as well as Kazakhstan's folk customs and basic language. After learning these, they will take a bus and enter Kazakhstan to start Work; so that they can get started immediately after arriving in Kazakhstan, saving the time of running-in.

At the same time, Huinong has also recruited a lot of people in Kazakhstan. First, this is a promise to Nazarbayev. The employment issue is the focus of every government. The higher the proportion of citizens with jobs and income, The more stable the rule of Zarbayev is; secondly, from the perspective of multinational companies, they also need some local employees and managers, because this can help them understand the situation in the country where they are located, thereby reducing mistakes.

Many multinational companies that entered China ignored this point, which led to their frequent mistakes in decision-making, and finally they were defeated by domestic companies that they always looked down upon. Many domestic companies that have just gone abroad have also made similar mistakes. Li Lei has learned The lessons of these people have always paid great attention to the personnel structure of foreign branches.

After staying in Kazakhstan for a period of time, while maintaining the relationship with Nazarbayev, Tokayev and others, he and Jiang Shuangcheng completed the preparations for the new project as soon as possible. After everything was on the right track, Li Lei first Arrive at WLMQ by plane, and then fly to Northeast from WLMQ.

When changing planes, Li Lei couldn't help but think of Dangdang's Qingzi, Qingzi, you have to work hard as soon as possible, get Dangdang up as soon as possible, so I can sell Dangdang's shares to buy a private jet, and fly around on commercial flights I'm so tired, I can't rest well even in first class.

But thinking about it again, Dangdang seems to be a few years away, and as Huinong’s pace of going overseas is gradually accelerating, it seems a bit late to buy a private jet after Dangdang is done, so Li Lei asked his secretary to check Check the country's rules and regulations in this regard. If you can buy it now, you should pay for it first. As for Qingzi, it's better to buy a new one when he gets up.

The secretary immediately made a phone call while waiting for a connecting flight, and found out that someone in China bought a private jet as early as two years ago, and Li Lei met this person when he went to Hunan.

The first entrepreneur in China to buy a private jet was Zhang Yue, the boss of Yuanda Group. He was born in 1960 and was one year older than Li Lei. It was a good time. After finishing high school, he could take the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Hunan Normal University. In a junior college, he majored in fine arts. After graduation, he was assigned to a school as an art teacher. After a few years of working, he encountered the tide of 84, so he resolutely resigned and entered the sea.

Zhang Yue's academic performance is mediocre, but his younger brother is very good. He is a graduate of Harbin Institute of Technology and has strong technical skills. The two brothers developed a pressureless boiler together, and then earned the first pot of gold by transferring the pressureless boiler technology. After several years of buying and selling boilers, Zhang Yue was keenly aware of the huge potential of the air-conditioning market, so he shifted his research direction to air-conditioning. After several years of investment, the brothers developed the first direct-fired engine in the domestic central air-conditioning industry, becoming The leader of direct combustion engines in the domestic and even world air-conditioning industry.

The technical advantages brought them huge profits. In 1992, the two brothers founded a company named Yuanda Air Conditioning in Changsha, Hunan Province, and began to sell direct-fired air conditioners. At this time, their direct-fired engine technology It has reached the international leading level, so it is favored by customers, and its sales volume is far ahead of other companies in the same industry, and its output and sales volume are the first in the world.

With the continuous expansion of business, Zhang Yue has to fly to various places for a long time. One winter, heavy snowfall caused the flight to be delayed. Later, the flight resumed one after another, but the flight to Changsha remained silent.After sitting at the airport for a long time, he was very depressed, and suddenly he had a new idea, which was to buy a private jet.

A month later, he flew to the United States and spent 700 million dollars to buy a jet Cessna business jet and a Bell 206 helicopter. He also took the test for a helicopter driver's license and drove a helicopter by himself every time. So for a long time, people in Changsha could often see Zhang Yue's helicopter in the sky.

Now that there is a precedent, it will be much easier to handle. Li Lei immediately contacted his acquaintances in the civil aviation system and asked about private jets. If you want to use a private jet, you don’t have to buy it directly. The domestic management of airports and airspace is relatively strict. , and pilots are relatively scarce, and using private jets in China is far less convenient than in the United States.

At present, there are relatively few rich people buying private jets in China. The leaders of the civil aviation system that Li Lei asked were a little confused for a while. Whether you have a Chinese airworthiness certificate, if you don’t have a Chinese airworthiness certificate, you can’t take off in my country’s airspace, so you can buy any model you want, and you can only choose those models that have obtained a Chinese airworthiness certificate if you want to fly in China.

After buying a suitable model of aircraft, you need to apply for a nationality registration certificate, an aircraft ownership certificate, a radio station license, etc. The pilots equipped with the aircraft need to have a flight license that is compatible with the aircraft model, and at the same time, you must also undergo a medical examination that meets the legal requirements to obtain the corresponding grade. medical certificate.

These are about the plane, and if you want to fly after buying it, you have to apply for the route in advance every time, report the flight time and landing location to the air traffic control bureau in advance, and then you can fly after obtaining approval. Generally speaking, it is quite troublesome, but It is more convenient than taking civil aviation every time.

So Li Lei ordered the secretary to do this, and the secretary started calling again. After landing, the secretary brought a list of private jets that can be purchased now, "Now there are several companies that mainly operate private jets in the world. It is Bombardier Corporation of Canada. Their Challenger series of business jets are very popular with rich people in Europe and America. The latest model is 604, which is an improved version of the Challenger 600. It first flew in 95 and began to be delivered in 96. The range can reach 7500 kilometers, not only short-distance flights are possible, except for two pilots, up to 19 seats can be arranged, and transcontinental flights are also possible. If you want to go to Kazakhstan in the future, you don’t need to transfer from WLMQ, you can directly fly from it State flies over!"

A qualified secretary not only needs to know how to act according to the order of the leader, but also has to give full play to his subjective initiative. Therefore, the first thing the secretary introduced to Li Lei was the plane that can go directly from Zhongzhou to Kazakhstan.

"There is also the Cessna aircraft purchased by Mr. Yuanda Zhang before. Mr. Zhang should have purchased the Citation series twin-engine jet business jet. This type of aircraft occupies a large share of the international business jet market because of its high cost performance. There are also many rich people buying this kind of aircraft, but the disadvantage is that the flight range is relatively short, only [-] kilometers, and there are only eight seats, and the cabin space is a bit narrow. If you fly domestically, it is not a big problem, but you want to fly to Kazakhstan Or in Southeast Asia, there will be some trouble!"

"The French company Dassault used to manufacture military aircraft and civilian aircraft. In recent years, it has begun to enter the field of high-end business jets. The Falcon series developed by them has been warmly welcomed by the market as soon as it was launched. Now the newer model is the Falcon 900EX. It can carry up to 19 passengers, and the maximum fuel range is 8020 kilometers. If you fly from Shanghai, you can fly directly to Hawaii!"

"Finally, there is Gulfstream's V business jet, which is a large ultra-long-range business jet with twin-engine turbofans. Its flight speed can reach Mach 0.9, its ceiling is as high as 16000 meters, and it has a range of 12000 kilometers. It can carry four crew members. and 14 passengers from Shanghai to San Francisco."

The secretary introduced mainly large and medium-sized business jets. If you want more passenger capacity and longer range, you can only look for ultra-large business jets from Airbus and Boeing.

Li Lei thinks about it. Based on his current needs, it seems that he does not need a super-large business jet that can accommodate dozens of people. It is basically enough to bring a dozen people when going abroad for business, but the demand for flight range is relatively high. Now it only needs to fly to China, Central Asia and Southeast Asia, and soon Huinong will try to develop business in South America, Africa and other places. In this case, the flight range of seven to eight thousand kilometers is not enough.

"How much is the Gulfstream V?" Li Lei asked.

"Hollywood star Jim Carrey ordered one before, and it was about 5000 million yuan, but the specific price depends on whether you have special needs. If you have higher requirements for interior decoration or other places, you must add more." The secretary is a little strange. According to the current demand, Bombardier 604 or Falcon 900EX seem to be enough. Why buy Gulfstream at double the price?

　I wrote a new chapter and put it in the related work for everyone to see.
