Chapter 369 Mr. Yang spent US$7000 million to purchase 2 private jets

1979 6 Month 10 Day.

The day after the Queen's official birthday.

Yang Ming still stayed at the Grosvenor House Hotel.

Shen Yi is already here.

"Sir Yang, on June 6th, an investiture ceremony will be held at Wensha Castle."

1979 6 Month 15 Day.

That is five days later.

Why five days later?

In fact, the Queen gave enough time to those on the honors list from all over the world to fly to London.

Some may be in Canada, some may be in Australia, and some may be on a small island in the Pacific. In addition to learning that they have been awarded medals, they also have to prepare themselves to fly to London.

If people from big cities in Europe and the United States have direct flights to London, it would be easy to make a trip.

However, those who are like those on a small island in the Pacific, in addition to receiving this news, must also be prepared to take a boat trip to several major cities, or a direct flight to London before they can reach it.

The Queen gave those people a week, which was basically enough.

This was expected by Yang Ming.

This time he was awarded the Order of the Imperial Cross, which is the lowest rank. However, the most special thing is that he was also canonized as a knight of the lower rank by the Queen.

It stands to reason that Yang Ming should go and thank the queen in person.

However, Shen Bi handles these matters for him now.

"Mr. Shen, you will accompany me then."

Of course.

. . .

When Shen Yi left the hotel.

Yang Ming knew that after attending the Queen's investiture ceremony this time, basically the mission of coming to London would be completed.

There is one more important thing.

Yang Ming knew very well that with his status, he might have to travel frequently at home and abroad in the future.

Then the indispensable means of transportation is of course the passenger plane.

In the 1960s, even the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, if you really believed those airline advertisements that airplanes were the safest means of transportation in the world, you must have been deceived or brainwashed.

In fact, flying is not safe.

Especially in this era, various air crashes and other accidents occur from time to time. Moreover, in the event of an accident, the passengers on the plane basically have no chance of surviving.

Yang Ming knew that many air crashes actually had little to do with the aircraft's own technology. The problem lay in the pilot's operation.

Because most air crashes are related to pilot operations, they are also closely related to some terrorist incidents.

Yang Ming has long thought that instead of flying on other airlines, which is unsafe, it would be safer to buy his own private jet.

Compared with those airline passenger planes, the safety of your own private jet should be much improved.

That night.

Melis, Kayla, Zhou Kaixuan, Lin Xiuzhi, Tang Shilian and others came to the hotel to meet him and learned that the boss would attend the medal ceremony at Wensha Castle in five days and then return to Hong Kong after his trip to London.

In addition, before Yang Ming left, he wanted to privately order two aircraft.

From Yang Ming's perspective, from Meris' point of view, there would be no problem even if he bought an aircraft manufacturing company, let alone ordering two private jets.

Because this time, country Y is undergoing a large-scale privatization, and the shares of the largest aviation manufacturing company in country Y are also in the privatization plan. If the plan is feasible, this aviation manufacturing company will really be bought by then.

Now Yang Ming just plans to buy two private jets first. When he travels by himself in the future, he can take his own private jets instead of using China Airlines' passenger jets.

"In my opinion, private jets are much safer than most passenger jets."

Melis and others are also very clear about it.

Aircraft accidents around the world still happen from time to time. Even if the boss stays in Xiangjiang most of the time, as the chairman of the Empire Group, how can he not travel?

Melis saw no problem.

On the other hand, privately customized large aircraft cost more and require greater quality assurance.

Yang Ming left this matter to Meris.

For Meilisi, it was nothing. He only needed to communicate with the current Y Aerospace Company or Airbus Company and buy two aircraft.

These large passenger aircraft are all produced to order. If they are privately customized, they may also be customized according to customer requirements.

This will take a year or two to complete.

In other words, if you place an order this year, you will almost be able to use it by this time next year.

After Yang Ming and Mai Lisi finished communicating about this matter.

Meris didn't have any problem, but he felt that the boss's travel safety needed to be further strengthened.

After Merith left.

Yang Ming looked at Kayla, Zhou Kaixuan and Lin Xiuzhi.

"After I attend the investiture ceremony, Keira will still stay in London temporarily, while Zhou Kaixuan and Lin Xiuzhi will return to Xiangjiang with me."

"It's the boss."

Zhou Kaixuan and Lin Xiuzhi went back first.

Keira is still here.

The two chatted for another half hour.

After Keira left.

Yang Ming looked out the window at the London night in the luxurious suite.

. . .

Have a night's rest.

The next morning.

Yang Ming still stayed in the hotel.

When Meris was talking to Country Y Aerospace Company and European Airbus Company about the purchase of two large private jets by Mr. Yang, Chairman of Imperial Group.

Both Country Y Aerospace Company and Airbus Europe are very happy for Mr. Yang to purchase his own aircraft.

Nowadays, a plane is not cheap, let alone two large passenger planes.

If this is a private order, the price may be more expensive.

Meris, on behalf of Yang Ming, negotiated with the two companies for three days, and finally settled on US$3500 million for one aircraft, and US$7000 million for two aircraft, which is almost HK$3 million.

This is a huge deal.

In addition, this is not only the first Chinese tycoon in Hong Kong to own a private jet, but also one of the very few rich people in the world to own a private jet.

I don’t know if it was leaked by personnel from the Aerospace Company of Country Y or the European Airbus Company. Including relevant media and newspapers in Country Y, and even many media and newspapers around the world, it is known that Mr. Yang, Chairman of the Imperial Group, spent US$7000 million to purchase two private jets. .

When this news first spread back to Xiangjiang, it immediately shocked many people in Xiangjiang.

At this time, in Hong Kong, only some families owned private cars, and Mr. Yang actually started to own private jets.

All I can say is that Mr. Yang is really rich!

"Master, I heard that you are going to buy a private jet." Azhu came over and said excitedly.

She just saw an English newspaper with Yang Ming's photo on it. She didn't understand most of the article content. After asking the housekeeper Lin Dezhong, she learned that Yang Ming had indeed booked two private jets with Airbus in Europe. , involving an amount of more than 7000 million US dollars.
