Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 360 Scan the Most Expensive Goods

   The enjoyment on a private jet is extraordinary.

   Actually, no one else has experienced this kind of enjoyment except for those from the Gulf Stream, as well as the Huo Najiang Yangshui.

   But even if the fire is in the river and Yangshui, what I have experienced before is not such a top-level private jet.

  Xu Guoping watched Tao Zhiming's subordinates talking in neon over there, thinking that if Tao Zhiming really wanted to use himself, he might have to learn neon.

   At this time, he could only sit quietly in a very comfortable seat and experience this feeling completely different from taking an ordinary flight.

  Not far away, Tao Zhiming was listening to the introduction of this aircraft by the sales director of Gulfstream, Zeros Lawrence.

   "The latest model, which has just started to be delivered this spring, can take up to 21 people, with a maximum flight speed of Mach 0.765, a range of more than 4,800 nautical miles, a practical ceiling of 13,700 meters, and a very stable flight."

   Before taking off, he took Tao Zhiming to the cockpit to take a look. The transparent cockpit design gave the plane a different and special feeling.

  The width of the cabin is more than two meters, and a special bedroom is naturally arranged on the plane used for display.

  Following Maehara Jiumina who was visiting with him, he looked at Tao Zhiming unexpectedly, and saw that the smile on his mouth had not changed much.

   Tao Zhiming, who has seen the design of top yachts, naturally does not pay attention to the so-called "comfort" of private jets. What kind of kitchen, bar, bathroom, no matter what, they are only cut out in the small space of the plane.

  The biggest advantage of private jets is convenience and speed, as well as the special safety that belongs to private jet travel.

  Tao Zhiming and Zeros returned to the leisure seating area in the middle of the cabin and sat on the large sofa.

  The plane was ready to taxi on the runway. Zeros asked with a smile, "What do you think of this plane, Mr. Tao?"

  Tao Zhiming asked back: "The delivery of this plane has only started this spring, and the time is still short. It has not accumulated enough specific use evaluations, right? Mr. Zeros, how many orders are there for this plane now?"

This is a question that must be encountered in new aircraft, and Zeros answered with experience: "This aircraft is the first aircraft that we have improved on the Gulfstream 2 and the Gulfstream 3 after we acquired the original factory. It's a mature model to fly. In fact, we've decided to stop production of the Gulfstream 3 next year because of her very good reviews."

"So, the Gulfstream 3 will be out of print?" Tao Zhiming teased, and then said, "The flight speed and range are only slightly improved compared to the Gulfstream 3, and the flight control equipment has not been greatly improved, but the price will be A lot higher, right?"

"In fact, the improvement of Gulfstream 4 has been very large." Zeros pointed out the port window, "For example, now, the plane has taken off and started to climb, but Mr. Tao does not have a serious sense of loss of cabin pressure? This is all With a little improvement in craftsmanship, even if the Gulfstream 4 is at a cruising altitude of more than 10,000 meters, the air pressure in the cabin is only equivalent to an altitude of 1,000 meters."

  Tao Zhiming smiled and asked, "Are these two models the only models that Gulfstream is selling now?"

   "We focus on polishing a mature model to perfection." Zeros first blew a sentence, then said, "Yes, as a model of the 1960s, the Gulfstream 2 has long been discontinued and sold."

  Tao Zhiming thought that this was not because of your limited strength. Gulfstream is not the only one in the private jet market now. It's just that Tao Zhiming knew that they were the strongest behind them, so he was more assured in terms of technology and follow-up support, so he thought of looking for them directly.

   "What about the base model price of the two models, and the price of some other configurable features or trims?"

   "Mr. Tao, let's drink some whiskey first, and let me introduce you to the plane when the plane is cruising."

   Across the continental United States, there is still time on the way.

  Zeros felt that he must first let him fully feel the comfort and dignity of being on a private jet before negotiating the price with him later.

  The beautiful flight attendants specially trained by Gulfstream only waited for the plane to climb to a similar height, and then began to prepare fruits, snacks, wine and drinks from the kitchen.

  The TV installed in the cabin is playing the video from the VCR, which is Top Gun which was released just last year.

   You can hear it, and the sound effect is also good.

  Tao Zhiming didn't know why he suddenly remembered the scene in "Iron Man", good guy, the hot dance on the private plane.

   Honestly, Zeros didn't have to come to this set, because he was going to buy it.

   However, after the plane entered the cruising state and ran smoothly, Tao Zhiming still felt the comfort.

   After all, it is not a cabin with rows of seats, and the feeling of space is completely different.

  Zeros didn’t know him very well after all, and there were so many people around, so they didn’t arrange any special programs, just chatting about some well-known clients they served.

   The implication, you see that everyone bought it and used it very happily.

   After Tao Zhiming asked about the price again, Zeros tentatively told him the basic prices of the two planes: 23.5 million yuan and 18.5 million yuan.

   However, Tao Zhiming must have to adjust the decoration and equipment on the plane according to his own preferences, so the final price will be higher than this, easily one or two million more.

  With the range of Gulfstream 4, it is impossible to fly across the ocean at one time. But if you want to achieve that effect, you need to buy a large passenger plane for modification, and the price is probably more expensive than a top yacht.

   So Tao Zhiming did not express his opinion first, but continued to consult other places that could be changed and installed.

  The plane, which is extremely safety-oriented, cannot be changed casually. If the guest wants to change the layout of the cabin, at least the counterweights in each area have to be adjusted in an empty state.

  Since Tao Zhiming really wanted to buy it, he seriously discussed the layout and decoration with him, and finally finalized a preliminary plan, and the final price was 25.2 million yuan.

  Zeros said: "Mr. Tao is the first guest of our model in Neon, so how about 25 million yuan?"

   "Compared to the price, I am more concerned about when I can start using it, and the training of pilots and flight attendants."

"Mr. Tao, you can use this plane as soon as March next year." Zeros promised, "If you have selected the flight crew, we can train them at any time. After that, within five years, We will all train your flight attendants in addition to the pilots for free."

   "What if there are new modification requirements in the future?"

   There was nothing to do on the road anyway, so Tao Zhiming knew as much as he could.

When the plane was gradually approaching New York, and the bright lights were already visible from the porthole, Tao Zhiming said, "Then let's be sure. Mr. Zeros, I need to ask you to form the layout design I need into a specific effect drawing, and then I will discuss with you first. Mr. Barron will discuss the details of the contract and make a special trip to Tokyo."

   "No problem!" Zeros decided to take a flight after seeing him, thinking that this is the efficiency. It seems that the neon market still has great potential to be tapped. If you go to Tokyo this time, you might as well get closer to him.

  Tao Zhiming felt that he came out this time and was similar to those who went abroad to scan goods, except that the goods he scanned were all top-of-the-line stuff.

   got off the plane and a car was already parked there.

  The Taoya people first accepted the thanks of Zeros, and also got to know Barron Berg.

   Seeing a new face following Tao Zhiming, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

  Tao Zhiming only felt that his attitude on the US side was different from that on the Tokyo side. At least he seemed to be more approachable, so he couldn't help but said with a smile: "RIVA is an engineer on the US side."

"Oh?" Tao Yaren just confirmed that he was not a special guest, and said to Tao Zhiming, "I couldn't have a good dinner on the plane? I have already arranged the hotel, and there is a special friend I want to introduce to you. you recognize."

"To be honest, I went from Tokyo to Los Angeles within 24 hours, and now to New York. I'm very tired now." Tao Zhiming said helplessly, "Let's go to the hotel first. Mr. Zeros, thank you for arranging the private jet, Saved me a lot of time. Mr. Barron, please confirm the details of the contract with Gulfstream first."

   Tao Zhiming said goodbye to them, and got into Tao Yaren’s car with Huona Jiangyangshui. And he knew who was on Tao Zhiming's side, and he arranged another car to bring Maehara Kyumina, Ogata Toshio and Xu Guoping with him.

   Tao Zhiming didn't care what was going on in the car behind him. He left Xu Guoping in an unfamiliar place, and when he looked back, he could ask Maehara Mina and Ogata Toshio for his reaction.

   "Who is the special friend you're talking about?"

  Tao Yaren laughed and said, "I actually have a relationship with you."

   "Are you related to me? In America?" Tao Zhiming was a little surprised.

   "That's right." Tao Yaren thought it was very interesting, "You were in Tokyo and poached the person in charge of his company office."

   Tao Zhiming was stunned, and then asked, "Bloomberg? You know him too?"

   "Of course." Tao Yaren smiled mysteriously, "He is one of the people who pay more attention to you in Huajie. After all, you were a rare individual user of their machines in Neon."

   Tao Zhiming really didn't expect him to know Bloomberg. This person was not easy later. He founded Bloomberg and was the mayor of New York.

   On the way, I asked him how he met Bloomberg. The Taoya people did not elaborate, but briefly mentioned that it was a dinner party. Tao Zhiming didn't care, he told him about RIVA first.

  Taoya asked strangely: "What are you doing with RIVA's after-sales engineers in the United States to New York?"

  Tao Zhiming smiled: "I asked about RIVA's situation in the United States on the way. Yaren-kun, I said that you will be in charge of managing RIVA. Are you going to keep the office in the United States?"

"During this time, I also arranged for someone to do some market research." Tao Yaren shook his head, "RIVA was acquired to cooperate with your BRAVOSPORT. My influence in Asia is greater than in the United States. I acquired it. In the early days, it’s better to start with neon.”

  Tao Zhiming thought that he was just relying on his identity to influence many rich people to buy a little bit from Neon, and realize it by deterrence.

   And on the US side, what is he? Even the posture has become "approachable" a lot unconsciously.

   "If the United States is abolished, wouldn't it be necessary to form a team in Neon again?"

   "It's not difficult." Tao Yaren seemed to have already thought about it for a long time, and talked about his plan incessantly. He still knew more about the details of Tao Zhiming's BRAVOSPORT and the Tokyo Yachting Home Port.

   Talking all the way, Tao Zhiming didn't have much energy to look at the scenery outside.

   Waiting for the car to drive into Manhattan, where the skyscrapers are soaring, Tao Zhiming looked at the scene outside the car window and asked with a smile, "Will I live here?"

   "Of course, when you come to New York, how can you not experience the view at the center of the world in Manhattan?"

  The car finally drove to the St. Regis Hotel next to Central Park. Tao Zhiming, who got off the car, looked at the surrounding scenery and praised: "It's really prosperous."

  Toya, like Yourong Yan, said proudly, "Of course. Tokyo is still a long way from here."

  Tao Zhiming smiled and looked at him pretending to be forceful, but Tao Yaren has a special relationship with him now, and he has arranged for him to come to New York this time. Tao Zhi stayed in a top-of-the-line suite, and he had reserved rooms for everyone else.

   "Did you make an appointment to meet Bloomberg tonight?" Tao Zhiming looked at the time, "It's too late, I just want to rest early."

   "Don't have dinner?" Tao Yaren didn't seem to insist.

   "Mr. Zeros wants me to experience the beauty of private jets, why didn't they arrange food?" Tao Zhiming said again, "Can we change it to meet tomorrow?"

  The Taoya man paused before saying, "Okay, anyway, Mr. Bloomberg is waiting for me to call him at any time."

  Tao Zhiming felt that he didn't make an appointment with Bloomberg so clearly at all, but just showed in front of himself that he had a lot of energy on the US side. After all, no matter what Bloomberg says, he is now a real billionaire. After waiting until now to meet Tao Zhiming, and still waiting for his plane to arrive in New York, how could such an uncertain thing be arranged this night?

   I'm afraid that if he insists, Tao Yaren will say something else, or sit and drink and chat with him somewhere first, and finally find an excuse to postpone it until tomorrow.

   Of course, this is just Tao Zhiming's guess.

   Bloomberg is an upstart in New York after all, and the group is not particularly strong. Unless there is an old money family behind him, and the other party happens to be the owner of Tao Yaren. But even then, Bloomberg is not something the Taoya people can call and drink.

   Tao Zhiming really didn't bother to see anyone else tonight, he was not joking.

   and Tao Yaren made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning, Tao Zhiming went to the room to take a bath first.

   As soon as he finished washing, he heard a knock on the door.

   Going to open the door, Maehara Mina stood at the door and whispered, "Everyone is tired and has already slept."

   Tao Zhiming backed away with a smile, and she quickly slipped in.

   Others guess, but at least on the surface she is just Tao Zhiming's secretary.

   However, in a foreign country, the secretary wanted to be close to him in a special state of mind.

   In another room not far away, Xu Guoping had just finished admiring the Manhattan night view outside the window of this top-notch hotel, and called his home number.

   After the call was connected, I heard her breathing uneven and heavy. Xu Guoping asked suspiciously, "Have you not slept yet?"

   "No...just...doing aerobics..."

   "Oh, I'm already in New York, staying at the St. Regis next to Central Park!"

   Xu Guoping chatted with her excitedly, and also analyzed that Tao Zhiming might be preparing to reuse himself, and then heard something falling to the ground over there, and also heard a faint "shit".

   He was stunned, it was a man's voice.
