Chapter 427 Private Jets
Time flies, and in November and December, the number of registered WeChat users worldwide exceeded 11 billion, including 12 million domestic WeChat users and 10 million overseas users, which is on par with Facebook's total global users.

Once the news was announced, it immediately caused a great shock.

10 billion users, even though we have entered the era of the global village, there are not many companies in the world that can reach this level of users, which is more than the total population of the United States and Europe.

Unlike Tencent and domestic Internet companies, they only operate in domestic nests.WeChat has more than 70% of its overseas users, which means it has completely entered the global market.

……

In the morning, Lin Rui came to the company. Standing at a height of more than 100 meters in the ultra-luxury office, he felt quite emotional. .

At this moment, secretary Shen Fei walked in.

"Boss Lin, here is the information you want."

Lin Rui nodded slightly.

"Let it go! I'll watch it later."

"Okay, Mr. Lin. The heads of several global private jet customizers have arrived. If you have any questions, the most professional team will answer them at any time."

After Shen Fei finished speaking, she walked out of the office gently.

Lin Rui stood by the window for a while, then sat down on the sofa next to him, opened the documents in his hand and began to look through them.

The first one is Gulfstream Airlines. In recent years, Gulfstream has become synonymous with private luxury jets. Many wealthy people in China have bought curved private jets.

At present, Gulfstream mainly promotes private luxury business jets, mainly including Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream G650.

The Gulfstream G500 is 91 feet long, has a maximum altitude of 51000 feet, and seats 19 passengers.

Generally speaking, it is a good private luxury business jet, and the current quotation is 500 million US dollars.

Gulfstream G650 is an upgraded version of Bendstream G550, and it is also the current flagship product of Gulfstream. Many wealthy people in the world choose this version.

Its maximum range exceeds 7500 miles, which means it can cross the Pacific Ocean, and its luxury and mileage are top-notch.

The current price of this private jet is 800 million US dollars.

After reading the detailed introduction for a while, Lin Rui turned to the next page.It is still a top-level private luxury jet, the Bombardier Global 7000, which is also the flagship product of Bombardier and competes with the Gulfstream G650.

The Bombardier Global 7000 also performs very well in all aspects of data. It uses a General Electric turbofan engine, has a top speed of Mach 0.925, and a maximum range of more than 8500 miles.

It is currently one of the largest private jets in the world, with a length of more than 111 feet, which can be infinitely customized according to the personal taste of customers.

The price of this aircraft is around $500 million.

Then turn to the next page.

As a representative of Europe's top airlines, Airbus also has extensive experience in luxury private jets.

Airbus ACJ319neo is their masterpiece.

Luxury is only one aspect, and its interior is as spacious as a two-bedroom.The farthest range reaches 12500 kilometers, and it can fly non-stop for 15 hours continuously. From China, it can fly directly to any country in Europe and America.

As the top luxury private jet launched by Airbus, the price is of course not cheap, around 1000 million US dollars.

After reading the information about this private jet, Lin Rui was quite satisfied.

However, as the world's top rich man, there are still several suitable aircraft for him, so he cannot make a hasty choice.

Looking through the next information, it is from Boeing.

There are two recommended above, one is Boeing 787-8 BBJ, which is a carbon fiber composite airliner, which provides modification services and can be modified and customized into a luxury private jet.

The lowest price of this model is not cheap either, at $[-] million.

After looking at it for a while, although this plane is good, Lin Rui is not too cold.

Turned to the information on the next page, Boeing 747-8, which is also Boeing’s private luxury jet, this one is even more powerful, it is definitely a fighter jet among private jets, a representative of ultra-luxury private jets, and also the most expensive private jets in the world one of the planes.

Powered by four General Electric GEnx engines, the aircraft can fly 8000 nautical miles nonstop.

The interior has an ultra-luxury space of [-] square feet, which is extremely luxurious, and the price is also as high as [-] million US dollars.

It is said that the Boeing 747-8I private jet has been selected as the new special plane of the President of the United States, and will later become the new Air Force One.

……

After looking at two more private jets, this stack of information has come to the end, and there is still an Airbus A380 at the bottom of the box.

As the largest wide-body aircraft in the world, it has upper and lower cabins, a fuselage length of about 72 meters, a wingspan of about 79 meters, and a height of about 24 meters, which is as high as an eight-story building.

Its interior area is as large as three tennis courts.

As the world's largest luxurious and reconfigurable private jet, known as the "flying palace", such a large area, such as bedrooms, cloakrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, lounges and meeting rooms... are all trivial.

Even swimming pools, elevators, and luxury garages are standard equipment for this ultra-luxury private jet.

Did you read that right?Such a large private jet, with such a large space, is not only equipped with an elevator to move up and down, but also equipped with a swimming pool inside. It is a swimming pool for swimming...not a bathing pool.

The luxury garage is also the basic configuration of this private jet, which can hold seven or eight luxury cars.Wherever you go, you can bring your car there.

Its voyage is more than [-] kilometers.

It is extremely luxurious, worthy of the elegant title of "flying palace".

Of course, the price is also worthy of its configuration. This private jet needs special customization and modification, and the price varies according to the way of decoration and modification.

The lowest price was US$[-] million, and the highest price exceeded US$[-] million.

It can be called the most expensive private jet in the world, bar none.

After Lin Rui finished reading the information in his hand, what he was most interested in was the last Airbus A380.As a behemoth with a height of eight floors, the interior luxury is even more unbelievable, which definitely makes many people envious.

Of course, Lin Rui was no exception. In front of this plane, he suddenly became less interested in other private jets.

However, he is a big guy after all, and he hasn't made up his mind yet.

In addition, as the company's business is increasing, Weiyang Technology and Xingkong Technology Group also need to purchase private jets to fill the facade to meet the needs of the company's executives to fly around the world.

Lin Rui was half lying on the sofa, slowly closing his eyes and meditating.

Finally, after a long time, Lin Rui made up his mind and bought an Airbus A380.With the highest specification, according to the most luxurious configuration to build.

Money is for spending and enjoying, why worry about so much!

Lin Rui prepared a quota of one billion US dollars for this purpose, just to see if he could spend it all.

Not counting that, he decided to buy two more Gulfstream G650s, one from Weiyang Technology and Xingkong Technology Group, for the company's executives to use instead of transportation.

Gulfstream G650 business jet, as one of the most luxurious private business jets in the world, can take fifteen to twenty passengers, and is the first choice of many rich people in the world.

Equipped with two to the company, no matter the grade or specification, it is quite appropriate.

Lin Rui made a decision and conveyed it, and the docking personnel from Gulfstream and Airbus rushed over quickly.

When purchasing a private jet, the order is usually placed first, and then production starts there. Not surprisingly, it will take a year or two for the three private jets ordered by Lin Rui to arrive in his hands.

However, he doesn't care.In the past one or two years, he still plans to live in Los Angeles again, and he needs to take a private jet, and there are not many things to travel around the world.

In another year or two, as the company grows larger and has R&D centers and branches under his name all over the world, this aircraft will be put to great use.

Now, even if you get it, you just put it there to eat ashes, and you can't use it a few times a year.

In the next few days, after discussions with Airbus designers, Lin Rui decided on a specific design plan for his specially designed empty shell A380.

The interior of the aircraft is divided into three floors, with dedicated stairs and elevators. The luxury of the interior is dwarfed by that of the presidential suite.

Oversized bedroom, cloakroom, bathroom, kitchen lounge, meeting room...everything you expect.

There is also an exclusive swimming pool, crystal spiral staircase and elevator, and a luxury garage that can accommodate nearly ten luxury cars.

All kinds of ultra-luxury configurations, as long as they feel good, Lin Rui doesn't need to add more money.

In the end, according to Airbus's statistics, the total price of this private jet may reach [-] million US dollars, which is the largest private jet order Airbus has received since its establishment.

It is by far the most luxurious and expensive private jet in the world.

It is more luxurious and extravagant than the Airbus A380 that the Saudi prince spent [-] million US dollars to build.

Subsequently, the design of the two Gulfstream G650s was finalized.The plane, which was originally worth 800 million U.S. dollars, was added with many luxurious configurations with Lin Rui's swipe of a pen, and the unit price reached 500 million U.S. dollars.

The total price of the two planes is [-] million US dollars.

Three planes plus one, the total price is close to one billion US dollars.

After paying a deposit of [-] million U.S. dollars, the matter was officially settled.

The Airbus A380 will take one and a half to two years to deliver at the earliest, and the Gulfstream G650 will take fifteen to twenty months to deliver.

After finishing the private jet, another negotiation was formally concluded.

Holds 26% of BOE's stock, surpassing Luzhou and Imperial Capital SASAC.BOE's largest shareholder, Xingkong Technology Group, has officially approved the application for additional issuance.

BOE will issue an additional 345% of shares to Xingkong Technology Group at a valuation of 25 billion, raising 115 billion.

Before the additional issuance, BOE was valued at 345 billion. After raising 115 billion, BOE’s valuation directly exceeded 460 billion.

With the finalization of this private placement, Xingkong Technology Group instantly secured its position as the largest shareholder.

After this additional issuance, the equity of all shareholders will be diluted by 1/4 of the equity. Xingkong Technology Group originally held 26% of BOE's equity. After dilution, the remaining shareholding is 19.5%.

If the 25% of this private placement is added, Xingkong Technology Group's shareholding in BOE will reach 44.5%, and it is the undisputed largest shareholder with one vote of veto.

After this investment, Lin Rui did not intervene in the company's operations like SMIC did.

BOE has been developing well, and its internal goals are clear. It is not as chaotic as SMIC, and the struggle among shareholders is not serious.

The whole company is full of enthusiasm.

These can be fully felt after watching the development process of BOE.

Starry Sky Technology Group's private placement this time is so easy to wait for approval, which is also related to BOE's development strategy.

The capital behind BOE is mainly state-owned enterprises. This is the same as SMIC. It’s not that it doesn’t want to attract private enterprises to join. In fact, no private enterprise has the courage.

Looking at the development trajectory of BOE in recent years, it is basically burning money for development.

Either in financing, or on the road to financing, this is why BOE can keep up with the world's top panel manufacturers and will not fall behind.

Such a company that burns money, sees no profit for a long time, and has a sluggish stock price.Apart from the fact that state-owned enterprises can transfer a large amount of funds, are not afraid of losing money, and support them to keep up with the world's top technology, which private enterprise has just entered the market.

Don't be afraid of being deeply locked up, and you will lose everything.

Just like Lin Rui, who has too much money in his hands to burn, on the one hand, he wants to support the development of domestic industries, so as to avoid being stuck abroad in the future.

On the one hand, Weiyang Technology enters the mobile phone industry, and will even get involved in computers and various electronic devices in the future. Screens and panels are essential.

Investing a sum of money to support the development of the industry can be considered as a layout for the company's development, and it doesn't care whether it is profitable or not.

For BOE, which is always thinking about how to burn money to expand its scale and keep up with the world's top technology, it is extremely thirsty for funds, and will not let go of any funds.

This is also the reason why this private placement passed so quickly.

In addition, BOE is estimated to be one of the companies with the most private placements of A shares.

The earliest financing was in 2004 after BOE went public. At that time, the company encountered a crisis and issued 3.16 million shares privately, raising 20 billion yuan.

At that time, in order to save China's largest world-class high-tech industrial company.

Endorsed by the Imperial City Government, led by the China Development Bank, nine banks acted as white horse knights and provided a loan of 7.5 million US dollars.In addition, the imperial city government provided an additional 28 billion yuan in loans to replenish its blood.

Let BOE survive.

Afterwards, BOE’s fundraising started and it didn’t stop.

06年募资18亿；08年世界金融危机，再次募资22亿；09年金融危机过去，更是来了个大手笔，一次性募资117亿。

In 2010, another 89 billion was raised; if the 115 billion invested by Xingkong Technology Group is included, BOE has issued 5 private placements since its listing, and the total fundraising amount is nearly 400 billion, which is definitely a big deal.

Subsequently, news about the poisoning spread to the outside world, which aroused a lot of attention.

Regarding the richest man in China and the top three richest people in the world, Lin Rui's investment in BOE was widely circulated in the outside world.

For so many years since its establishment, BOE has burned money every year, rarely made a profit, and its stock price has been running at a low level. This is something everyone knows.

However, knowing that it was a pit, Lin Rui jumped into it, which made it difficult for everyone to understand.

In addition, some time ago, he just cast another big hole in the core, making it even more difficult to see his routine.With Lin Rui's ability, if he wants to make money, why not make more money than investing in these two companies.

After discussing for a long time, it can only be attributed to Lin Rui's family and country feelings, supporting the development of domestic disadvantaged industries, otherwise anyone will jump into the pit.

Lin Rui didn't respond to this, so let them guess!
