Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 287: 4000 million a month is not enough!
Jiangnan Helicopter Trading Center is a subsidiary of Jiangnan Airport Group, engaged in helicopter brand agency, sales, recycling, consignment, custody and other services.

After Shen Jun and the team had made arrangements, Jiang Beicheng came in person to test drive the Agusta AW139 that he had taken a fancy to.

Mr. Zhu, the general manager of the trading center, received us in person.

"Boss Jiang, be careful!"

Maysari from Jiangbei City arrived at the trading center at full speed, and President Zhu came out to greet him with his employees.

He personally stepped forward to open the car door for Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng took a quick look and saw that all the employees in the trading center were handsome men and beautiful women.

It is a level higher than luxury car stores and 4S stores.

It is estimated that they are all serving flight attendants who have changed positions, or etiquette service personnel who have received individual training.

Male employees are definitely assigned to the most professional positions.

An order like the one from Jiangbei City is enough to support the entire company for a year. If we include hosting services, we can continue to do so.

Naturally, we must show the highest courtesy and warmest reception.

At the same time, I was also shocked.

They have received many wealthy players before, and this should be the first young wealthy person to be allowed to represent the Agusta brand since the trading center was established.

It is also the AW139, which is known as the world's most popular business helicopter.

It is not only the preferred vehicle for the world's wealthy, but also the means of transportation for royal families in many countries.

I couldn't help but admire the financial resources of this young rich man.

There is a saying that spending money requires courage, and this was embodied in this young wealthy man today.

"Mr. Jiang, please!" Mr. Zhu took him directly to visit and test drive.

This type of customer must have done a lot of research before deciding on the model to purchase.

No unnecessary introductions or sales pitches are needed.

If you have any questions, just answer them as soon as possible.

Jiang Beicheng nodded, went straight into the cabin of the Aw139, and test-drove it himself.

This is a 12-seater entry-level model.

Simply put, it is like buying a car, which is a model that is mass-produced according to market demand standards.

There are also optional and customized versions.

Even the entry-level version costs more than 1200 million US dollars.

President Zhu also arranged for an experienced pilot to sit in the co-pilot seat and accompany Jiang Beicheng on the test drive.

The co-pilot is not only highly professional, but also has excellent eloquence.

During the test drive in Jiangbei City, it provided high emotional value.

It's not just about flattery.

Observe Jiangbeicheng's every driving action and operating habits, find the advantages, and give the highest affirmation.

At the same time, he used his rich experience to remind and correct Jiang Beicheng's wrong driving actions.

Jiang Beicheng enjoyed this test drive very much.

After landing and getting off the plane, President Zhu greeted him with a smile, "President Jiang, how do you feel? Is it very different from what you expected?"

Jiang Beicheng nodded: "There is not much difference. Your pilots are of high quality."

By the way, I gave him a compliment.

"Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Jiang. It's my honor to serve you," the co-pilot said respectfully.

Jiang Beicheng followed Mr. Zhu to the office to discuss the purchase of the machine.

"Actually, the first aircraft I had my eyes on was the Bell 525, but my pilot's license didn't meet its requirements," Jiang Beicheng said.

"The Bell 525's maximum takeoff weight exceeds the 3180kg standard. Mr. Jiang should have a private pilot's license, right?"

"Private business as one!"

Mr. Zhu: "It's true that I don't have the right to fly, but the AW139 can already meet Mr. Jiang's travel needs. If Mr. Jiang has any special requirements for the cabin interior, we can choose a customized service."

The two of them walked and talked.

The female subordinates following behind stopped at the corridor and did not go upstairs.

But I couldn't help but start talking about it.

"Did you hear that? Mr. Jiang actually has his heart set on the Bell 525!"

"The world's most luxurious business jet, a mobile conference room in the sky, with a base price of $1500 million."

"For these wealthy people, it's just like buying a big toy."

"Mr. Zhu must close this deal. This year's year-end bonus should increase."

"It's still nice to receive clients like this. Robinson is worth millions, and he's almost vomiting. Finally, a big client has come."

"Sister, you're getting cocky. You look down on your millionaire clients. When you were selling second-hand Robinsons for hundreds of thousands, you were so servile and flattering. You were willing to kneel down and lick their boots just to close the deal."

"The past is the past. People should strive for higher goals and look forward. If I could meet a client like Mr. Jiang, I would do anything to lick him!"

"..."

The chat was very explicit and realistic.

In General Zhu’s office, the relevant materials had already been prepared and handed over to Jiang Beicheng, who introduced them to him one by one.

Mr. Zhu was also very direct, without beating around the bush. "Mr. Jiang, this is the basic information. I believe you understand it in more detail.

Regarding agency fees, the industry standard is 0.5, and so do we.

If you are willing to entrust us with hosting, after charging you 0.5 service fee for purchasing the machine, we will provide you with hosting fee worth 280 million for free for one year.

However, we need to sign a custody contract for a minimum of two years.

These are the three versions we came up with after communicating with the Italian manufacturer.

I guess Mr. Jiang would choose a custom one."

Mr. Zhu is very good at doing business.

The words are appropriate.

But Jiangbeicheng was indeed going there for private customization.

"The cabin has been changed to a double-row six-seater business version!" Jiang Beicheng put forward his own customization requirements. This is the biggest change. The others are some minor customization services. Without changing the power and model, it pursues business luxury and ease of use.

Mr. Zhu suddenly remembered that the trading center had just received a business version of the car with six seats side by side from a wealthy man from another place.

"Mr. Jiang, if it's a custom-made new machine, you may have to wait for a while, ranging from half a year to a year. We will strive to give you the fastest production time.

There is also a second-hand helicopter in stock at the trading center. It was produced 20 years ago and has 680 flight hours. In terms of the life of the helicopter, it is equivalent to a nearly new one.

If you need it, I can give you a very ideal price, 8300 million, right in China, free of import tax."

This tax does save a lot of money.

However, Jiangbeicheng was not interested in second-hand aircraft, and the Agusta AW139 model had been updated and upgraded in many aspects.

Jiang Beicheng knew that Mr. Zhu was always trying to grasp the customer's mentality to make sales. Selling a second-hand plane would make more money than the 0.5 agency fee they charged.

What's more, this asset-heavy industry has very high capital requirements.

I definitely want to act quickly.

While Jiang Beicheng expressed his understanding, he still insisted on choosing to order a new phone.

The aircraft customization factory fee plus 2% import tariff, 17% value-added tax, 0.05% contract stamp tax, 0.5% purchase service fee...

Overall, the helicopter landed close to 1.5 small targets.

"Mr. Jiang, if you decide on our import channel, we will sign a purchase intention contract now, and you will need to pay a deposit of 50.

The 500,000 yuan can be refunded at any time.

After we have coordinated and communicated with the manufacturer and confirmed production, you will also need to pay a deposit of 30% of the total contract.

The remaining balance will be settled after delivery.”

Mr. Zhu introduced the service process and payment procedures to Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng signed the purchase intention contract and asked the trading center and his secretary Shen Jun to coordinate the relevant accounts.

Achieve 1.5 small goals.

Jiangbei City now has the purchasing power.

The delivery will be at least half a year later. Even if calculated based on my current monthly living allowance of 4000 million, it will only take a few months without affecting basic living expenses.

Besides, the system is about to be upgraded. At worst, it's easy to get a bank loan.

Just like what HNA did back then, it can even get something for nothing.

Just make sure your debt is manageable and safe.

He had no worries about the money.

Unfortunately, the system treats it as consumption and cannot be recorded as business investment, otherwise it would be handled directly.

"Mr. Jiang, would you consider our free hosting service?" Mr. Zhu promoted it to Jiang Beicheng. "The hosting fee is 280 million yuan a year, which includes crew salaries, aircraft repairs, maintenance, scheduled inspections, insurance, fuel, and other expenses.

We provide services such as application for three certificates, flight routes, etc.”

Generally speaking, helicopter take-off and landing points that are commonly used only need to be applied for once every six months.

For example, the two common take-off and landing points for commuting from Jiangbei City's suburban manor to the company, one application will allow unimpeded travel within six months.

However, if there are needs for temporary take-off and landing points, temporary routes, etc., you need to apply to the air traffic control department.

In this regard, the hosting company is more convenient, and usually it only takes one day in advance.

The AW139 business helicopter has a full fuel range of 1060 kilometers, which can not only meet the needs of daily commuting in the city, but also for short-distance business trips.

For example, if you are on a business trip to a city in the Midwest, it can fully meet your needs.

In addition, the hosting company will be equipped with crew members, including pilots and flight stewards to provide flight services, which Jiang Beicheng thinks is very necessary.

It is impossible to fly around in a medium-sized helicopter when on a business trip.

Of course, the most convenient thing is that it is easier for the custodial company to apply for the three certificates.

It is difficult for private individuals to apply for aircraft nationality registration certificates, airworthiness certificates, and radio station licenses.

Mr. Zhu just mentioned that after collecting the machine purchase service fee, the hosting fee will be waived for one year.

Jiangbei City just regarded it as a bargain, but in fact, the trading center must have made the most profit.

But he did not deliberately delve into it and signed another two-year custody contract with the Jiangnan City Helicopter Trading Center.

"Mr. Jiang, if you agree to let us use your helicopter for commercial purposes, we will sign a supplementary clause at that time," Mr. Zhu explained.

When the market is good, the trustee can use your private jet to carry out commercial activities, which can easily cover the trusteeship fees and sometimes even pay you back.

It's like renting your plane to make money.

The low-altitude economy will definitely be a carriage that drives the national economy in the future, and it definitely has market potential.

Jiang Beicheng said directly: "Except for emergency rescue activities, we will not engage in other commercial purposes."

In fact, it makes money.

The service fee for an emergency rescue is at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and up to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

However, Jiangbei City pursues social value, and it is worth it to make a little money to cover the custody fees.

Most of the time it is definitely used for daily commuting.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, if you have any questions or needs, we will communicate in time. You can finalize the contract. If there are no problems, we will contact the Italian manufacturer." Mr. Zhu confirmed to Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

Shen Jun had discussed these contracts with the company's legal department in advance.

Jiang Beicheng came to sign today after the legal department confirmed that there were no problems.

"Mr. Jiang, do you have any meal requirements? We will prepare lunch for you!" A staff member came up to greet him.

"No, I have other things to do!"

Jiang Beicheng went downstairs, and President Zhu brought people to see him out. Finally, he shook hands with Jiang Beicheng and said, "President Jiang, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded and got into the car.

"Signed?"

"Signed!"

"Ahhhh~!"

A group of subordinates were very excited.

"Be restrained, President Jiang hasn't gone far yet, be mindful of the impact." President Zhu was also excited, but he had to maintain good manners and remind his employees.

The employees nodded.

I sigh that Mr. Jiang is so capable.

After leaving the helicopter trading center, Jiang Beicheng went home for lunch.

After dinner, he took Shen Jun back to his hometown to check on the progress of the manor project.

The main structure of the residential area has been completed.

Jiang Beicheng asked Shen Jun: "Have the decoration drawings and quotations come out?"

Shen Jun replied, "Ms. Haitangxi has sent me the drawings, but not the quote. She said it would be best to meet with you in person."

Jiang Beicheng guessed Haitangxi's intention.

The price quoted must be very high.

She wanted to pursue the ultimate value for money, and would definitely save Jiangbei City money in certain links and materials.

The original design for the manor house was done by CCD Studio in Hong Kong, an internationally renowned interior design company ranked number one in Asia.

In the field of hotel decoration, it can be called the ceiling.

Jiangbeicheng has asked Shen Jun to communicate. Haitangxi said that she would give this project to Xishanxingju as she wanted to expand the interior design business.

I would rather do it for free and create a classic case.

Now that his woman has spoken, Jiang Beicheng must pamper her.

Of course, the money to be paid will not be too much for Xishan Xingju.

It is not easy for a wife to return to China to start a business, there is no reason to get something for free.

"I'll go to the Cultural Industry Park later."

Jiang Beicheng and the project manager inspected the construction site.

After finishing the work, we drove to the Cultural Industry Park.

"Boss Hai, Boss Jiang is here!"

The receptionist took Jiang Beicheng upstairs to Haitangxi's office.

Haitangxi was receiving a client and smiled at Jiang Beicheng, asking him to wait.

Jiang Beicheng sat in the reception area and drank tea for a while.

"Mr. Jiang!" After sending the customer away, Haitangxi smiled, glanced at Jiang Beicheng, and shook her head.

Jiang Beicheng went to her office.

She closed the blinds and they kissed.

"Assistant Shen told me that you just signed a contract to purchase a machine worth hundreds of millions of yuan, so I didn't send you the previous quotation. I was a little worried about your financial situation." Haitangxi said truthfully.

Jiang Beicheng sat down and said, "Let me see it first!"

Haitangxi handed the information to Jiangbeicheng.

Jiang Beicheng took a quick look and said, "Over 50 million for hard decoration is indeed a bit high."

Haitangxi said: "For an indoor area of ​​2700 square meters, just a few sets of Liuheng systems will cost you more than six million.

It was only after we bargained with Panasonic that they lowered the price to 2300 per square meter.

The market price is close to three thousand!
I personally recommend central air conditioning, which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Main materials, auxiliary materials, custom-made furniture, and whole-house appliances...all use domestic brands.

It can save you 20% to 30%! ”

"The Liuheng system is a must. Except for Panasonic, the technology of other brands is not mature!" Jiang Beicheng insisted.

The six constant systems refer to constant temperature, constant humidity, constant oxygen, constant cleanliness, constant quietness, and constant intelligence. In China, it is preferred to be called the five constant systems, which are not sensitive to constant intelligence.

In addition to central air conditioning, there are also humidity control modules and full heat exchangers, which are integrated into a coordinated system.

It ensures that the entire room maintains the best temperature, humidity and oxygen content throughout the year, and also has the effects of sterilization, cleaning and noise reduction.

The core of Panasonic's system is the humidity control module, the largest in the world.

The manor cost 1.8 million yuan to build, so the decoration cannot be sloppy. We have to do it the best.
