Andy arrived in New York with his team and lawyers, and met Hardy in the hotel. Hardy told them about the purchase of the plane, and then said: I have communicated with the military, and asked the military to come out first. a purchase contract.”

My plan is to set up an airline, use the contract to loan to the bank, and use the loan to pay for the purchase of the aircraft.

Andy, you have a lot of things to do next. One is to register an airline, the other is to contact the military to complete the purchase contract, and the third is to use this contract to find a bank loan.

Andy couldn't help nodding and praised: Boss, your idea is great. Using airplanes as collateral for loans and purchasing airplanes with loans is equivalent to 51 airplanes for nothing.

Andy, the price of these planes is relatively cheap, the price of C-53 is 38,000, the price of C-47 is 36,000, and the actual value of these planes is far more than this price, I hope you can talk to the bank and get more loan After all, the airline operation will also require a lot of funds. Hardy said.

Andy admires his boss even more. He is not satisfied with 51 planes for free, and he has to make a fortune backhand. Even the operating expenses must be paid from these planes.

Played the white wolf with empty gloves to its peak.

Good boss, I will do my best to get it. Andy said.

......

Andy's movements are very fast, and it is not complicated to register the airline, which is the easiest thing for Andy's people.

Then I contacted the military, and the Logistics Support Bureau was very cooperative, mainly with Brigadier General Williams watching, and I got the purchase contract within a few days.

25 C-53 troop transport aircraft.

25 C-47 cargo transport aircraft.

1 'Scrap' B29 Flying Fortress.

38,000 C-53s each, for a total of 950,000.

36,000 C-47s each, for a total of 900,000.

The scrapped B29 Flying Fortress asked for 150,000.

The total price is exactly 2 million.

The B29 Flying Fortress cost $650,000,

Even the scrap price is much more expensive than the C-47. Hardy has absolutely no problem with this price, mainly because it is difficult for others to buy it with money.

The two cars drove into the parking lot of the Logistics Support Bureau. The place is too huge. It is said that there are more than ten square kilometers. Hundreds of planes are parked here, and it is impossible to see the head at a glance.

Brigadier General Hardy and Williams got out of the car, Andy followed behind, and the others retreated far away. They walked to a plane, and the Brigadier General patted the fuselage and introduced with a smile:

The Douglas aircraft has a very good reputation and is durable and durable. It is called the 'sky train'. The standard load of the C-47 is 2.7 tons, and it can be pulled down to three tons in an emergency.

The C-53 has 28 standard manned seats, but those airlines often change the seats to 36.

The range of the C-47 is 2,600 kilometers. It is very easy to run casually in China. Even from New York to Los Angeles, you only need to refill the fuel once in the middle.

Speaking of which, Brigadier General Williams approached Hardy and lowered his voice slightly: I have specially selected your 50 aircraft, and they are the best in this batch. Don't worry, you can use them for decades. .

By the way, I also have enough accessories for you. As long as the engine does not have major problems, it is estimated that those accessories will be enough for 5 years.

Andy followed behind the two, heard the general's words, and looked at the boss, Hardy, next to the general. He admired the boss's ability to make friends.

He knew that Hardy and Brigadier General Williams had just met, but looking at the current situation, the two seemed to be old friends for more than ten years.

I have to admit that Hardy is very good at interpersonal communication. Among the people Andy knows, few can compare to Hardy. This is definitely one of the abilities that a successful person must have.

Several people walked up to the B-29.

Compared with the C-47, the B-29 is much larger, more than ten meters in length and wingspan, and more than 3 meters in height.

Brigadier General Williams presents Hardy with B-29 data.

The B-29 is twice as heavy as the C-47, reaching 5.4 tons, with a flight speed of 100 kilometers per hour, and its comprehensive capability is much stronger than that of the C-47.

The most important thing is that its endurance is amazing, which can reach 9,000 kilometers. With this plane, Hardy can drive him to any country in the world.

I really like this B-29 Hardy.

This is a real meritorious fighter. It made a great name in World War II. It is called the Super Air Fortress and is the most advanced transport aircraft in the world.

The two boarded the plane and sat in the cabin.

Everyone else stayed outside.

Hardy smiled and said:

General, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to the deputy director of the Security Bureau. It's time to change the star on your shoulders?

Just a few days ago, Brigadier General Williams was officially promoted to deputy director of the Logistics Support Bureau, and his rights were much greater than before.

Williams laughed, It has already been reported. It will take a while for approval. It is estimated that it will not come down until May or June.

By the way, Hardy, regarding the security company consultant, I would like to recommend General Knudsen. General Knudsen was invited by President Franklin Roosevelt to serve as a member of the National Defense Advisory Committee, responsible for industrial production, and served as the War Production Administration. Director, industrial production inspector of the Ministry of the Army, etc., retired in 1945, and received the rank of lieutenant general before retiring.

To tell you the truth, I worked under General Knudsen back then, and I was promoted by him to get where I am today. I can successfully improve this time, and I also asked General Knudsen to help me contact his former military friends. .

Hardy had never heard of General Knudsen, but that didn't stop him from being excited.

Lieutenant General,

Director of the War Production Administration.

That is a proper logistics boss. The logistics department can deal with almost all the troops. If you have something to do, even if the other party makes a random phone call and makes you qualified to come, you can save a lot of trouble.

If he can get in touch with such a big guy, he is willing to spend more money.

Very good, please contact General Williams for help and see when General Knudsen is free. I will visit in person. Hardy said.

Williams smiled, Hehe, General Knudsen lived in Detroit after retiring. He had a farm in the countryside and lived a leisure life. I'll contact you later.

......

After returning to New York from Virginia, Hardy told Andy to contact the bank and ask them to come over and negotiate the loan business.

what,

Going to the door to ask the bank for a loan?

The layout is small.

In the conference room of the Hilton Hotel, Andy invited the credit directors of 6 banks at a time, Citibank New York, First National Bank of New York, Bank of New York Mellon, Bank of America, First National Bank of San Francisco, and Wells Fargo.

The reason these people come is because of Hardy's sign.

Hardy is now number one in the business field. HD Security, HD Films, Mabel TV Factory, Playboy Magazine, Barbie, Rocky Mountain Mineral Water, these are all real money-making businesses.

Andy sent out invitations to these banks, indicating that Mr. Hardy was ready to enter the aviation industry, and invited them to negotiate loans.

What is a bank?

is a business.

The purpose is to make money.

Banks first look at risks when they lend out, and secondly look at returns. Hadi holds a large number of high-quality assets, and the bank has no doubts about his ability to repay the loan.

Upon receiving Hadi's invitation, all these banks sent people over, and most of them came at the level of the head of the bank's credit department.

Andy smiled and said to these people: Thank you to the banks for coming, let me introduce myself first, I am Mr. Hardy's economic adviser, my name is Andy, before discussing loan matters with you, I would like to ask you to take a look a contract.”

Andy handed the folder to the staff, who showed it to the credit supervisors of the various banks.

The content of the contract is very simple. It is just a purchase contract. Hardy established a HD airline with 100% of the shares. HD airline purchased 51 obsolete transport aircraft from the military.

The contract signifies that the deal has been reached, meaning Hardy already has 51 aircraft in his hands.

51 aircraft is definitely a heavy asset.

Mr. Hardy is really big, buying 51 planes at a time, and now he is among the top 10 airlines in the United States. A supervisor complimented.

Some people also asked: What is the performance of the retired aircraft, and how many years of service are there?

Andy explained with a smile: Although these planes are second-hand goods, their performance is absolutely fine. We have checked with Douglas maintenance personnel. These planes are basically about 80% new. After the company's system maintenance, they can be used again. Twenty or thirty years will be fine.

The ex-factory price of C-53 and C-47 is about 200,000 US dollars. How much are they worth now? I believe everyone has a valuation in their hearts. We have asked experts to evaluate them. If these planes are sold out, they can definitely be sold. Around $110,000.

In fact, Andy exaggerated a bit. 110,000 will never be sold, but it is absolutely no problem to sell it to 80,000 or 90,000. Even if Hardy sells it directly now, he can make more than 2 million US dollars.

Think about how easy it is to make this money, who will let you make this money without a very hard social connection.

Andy glanced at all the bank managers and said:

HD Airlines is going to use these aircrafts as collateral to loan $5 million to the bank with a loan term of 5 years. We hope that the loan interest will be reduced by 1 percentage point from the normal loan interest rate.

As soon as Andy's words came out, the managers immediately muttered.

Using this batch of aircraft as a mortgage loan of 5 million is too high, and 3 million is almost the same.

The current loan interest rate is 4.250%, a reduction of 1 percentage point is too much, and the bank is not making money at all.

Andy has already guessed the reactions of these managers, and said with a smile: After the establishment of HD Airlines, there will be a lot of business and a lot of liquidity. Our funds will naturally be placed in the bank that cooperates with us.

No matter when, cash is king, and airlines are also cash giants. Large sums of money are deposited in the bank, and the bank can use the money to continue lending to make money. For banks, it is beneficial to cooperate with such a company with sufficient cash flow. maximum.

Everyone, our conditions have been placed here. You can go back and discuss it. If you have any, you can contact me.
