Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

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

This is a problem that new models will definitely encounter. Zeros answered with rich experience: "After we purchased the original factory, we improved the Gulfstream 2 on the basis of the Gulfstream 3. It took another 6 years to make the first flight. A mature model to fly. In fact, we have decided to stop production of the Gulfstream 3 next year because of her excellent service ratings."

"So, the Gulfstream 3 will be out of print?" Tao Zhiming joked, and then said, "Compared to the Gulfstream 3, the flight speed and range are only slightly improved, and the flight control equipment has not been greatly improved, but the price will be higher. Is it much taller?"

"In fact, the improvement of Gulfstream 4 is already very large." Zeros pointed out the porthole, "For example, now that the plane has taken off and started to climb, but Mr. Tao doesn't have a serious sense of depressurization in the cabin, right? Even if the Gulfstream 4 has a cruising altitude of more than [-] meters, the air pressure in the cabin is only equivalent to the altitude of a thousand meters.”

Tao Zhiming asked with a smile, "Are these two models the only models that Gulfstream currently sells?"

"We focus on polishing a mature model to perfection." Zeros blew a word first, and then said, "Yes, Gulfstream 2, as a model in the 60s, has long since ceased production and sales."

Tao Zhiming thought it 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 knows that they are the strongest behind them, and he is more at ease in terms of technology and follow-up support, so he wants to go to them directly.

"What about the base model price of the two models, and the price of some other features or decorations that can be configured?"

"Mr. Tao, let's drink some whiskey first, and let me introduce you after the plane is in cruise mode."

Across the continental United States, there is still plenty of time on the road.

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

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

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

It can be heard that 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 jet.

To be honest, Zeroth didn't have to come to this set, because he was going to buy it in the first place.

However, Tao Zhiming still felt this kind of comfort after the plane entered the cruising state and sailed smoothly.

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

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

The implication is 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 aircrafts: 2350 million and 1850 million yuan.

However, Tao Zhiming must make decoration adjustments and equipment additions on the plane according to his own preferences, so the final price will be higher than this, and it will easily be 200 million higher.

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

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

Airplanes, which are extremely safety-conscious, cannot be changed casually.Guests want to change the layout of the cabin, so at least the counterweight of each area in the empty state has to be adjusted.

Since Tao Zhiming really wanted to buy it, he seriously discussed the layout and decoration with him, and finally finalized a plan with a final price of 2520 million yuan.

Zeros said: "Mr. Tao is the first customer of our model in Neon, so how about 2500 million yuan?"

"Compared with the price, I am more concerned about when it will be delivered and I will start using it, as well as the training of pilots and flight attendants."

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

"What if there is a new modification requirement in the future?"

There was nothing to do on the road anyway, so Tao Zhiming learned as much as possible.

When the plane gradually approached New York and the bright lights below could be seen from the porthole, Tao Zhiming said: "Then make sure. Mr. Zeros, I need to ask you to form a specific effect drawing of the layout design I need, and then communicate with Mr. Barron will discuss and finalize the details of the contract, and then make a special trip to Tokyo."

"No problem!" Zeros settled down after seeing him take a flight, thinking that this is 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 when he came out this time, he was similar to those who traveled abroad to scan goods, except that the goods he scanned were all top-notch stuff.

After getting off the plane, a car was already parked there.

Tao Yaren accepted Zeros' thanks first, and also got to know Baron Berger.

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

Tao Zhiming only felt that his posture in the US was different from that in Tokyo, at least he looked more approachable, so he couldn't help but said with a smile in his heart: "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, "Didn't you have a good dinner on the plane? I have already arranged the hotel, and there is another special friend I want to introduce to you." you know."

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

After Tao Zhiming said goodbye to them, he boarded Tao Yaren's car with Huona Jiangyangshui.And he knew who Tao Zhiming was with, and he arranged another car to take Maehara Kumina, Ogata Toshio and Xu Guoping with him.

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

"Who is the special friend you mentioned?"

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

"Is it related to me? In the United States?" Tao Zhiming was a little surprised.

"That's right." Tao Yaren found it very interesting, "You are in Tokyo, and you have poached the person in charge of his company's 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, who turned out to be quite extraordinary.Founded Bloomberg and served as mayor of New York.

On the way, he asked him how he met Bloomberg. Tao Yaren didn't elaborate, but simply mentioned that it was a dinner party.Tao Zhiming didn't care, and told him about RIVA's situation first.

Then Tao Yaren asked a little strangely: "Why do you bring RIVA's after-sales engineers from the United States to New York?"

Tao Zhiming smiled: "On the way, I asked about RIVA's situation in the United States. Mr. Yaren, 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 BRAVO SPORT, and my influence in Asia is greater than in the United States. Acquisition In the early days, it is better to start with neon.”

Tao Zhiming thought that he might be relying on his status to influence a lot of rich people to buy some from Neon, and cash out by deterrence.

And in the United States, what is he?Even the posture unconsciously became "approachable" a lot.

"If the American side is abolished, wouldn't it be necessary to form a new team in Neon?"

"It's not difficult." Tao Yaren seemed to have thought about it long ago, talking about his plan incessantly, and he still wanted to know more about Tao Zhiming's BRAVO SPORT and the details of the Tokyo Yacht Homeport.

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

When the car drove into Manhattan, where the skyscrapers stood tall, Tao Zhiming looked at the scene outside the car window and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to live here?"

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

The car finally arrived at the St. Regis Hotel next to the Central Park. After getting out of the car, Tao Zhiming looked at the surrounding scenery and praised: "It's really prosperous."

Like Rongyan, Tao Yaren said proudly, "Of course. Tokyo is still a long way from here."

Tao Zhiming smiled and saw him pretending to be aggressive, but Tao Yaren has a special relationship with him now, and he has made good arrangements for his visit to New York this time.Tao Zhi stayed in a top-level suite, and he had already reserved rooms for everyone else.

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

"Aren't you going to eat dinner?" Tao Yaren didn't seem to insist.

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

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

Tao Zhiming felt that he didn't have such a clear appointment with Bloomberg at all, but just showed himself that he has a lot of energy in the United States.After all, no matter what Bloomberg says, he is now a real billionaire.I just waited until now to meet Tao Zhiming, and I still waited for him to fly to New York. How could such an uncertain thing be arranged at this night?

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

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

After all, Bloomberg is an upstart in New York, and his strength is not particularly strong.Unless there is some old money family behind him, and the other party happens to be the master of Tao Yaren.But even then, Bloomberg is not something the Taowians can call around.

Tao Zhiming really didn't bother to meet anyone tonight, he was not joking about the exhaustion.

After making an appointment with Tao Yaren to meet tomorrow morning, Tao Zhiming went to the room to take a shower first.

When he had just finished washing, he heard a knock on the door.

Going over to open the door, Kumina Maehara stood at the door and whispered, "Everyone is very tired and has already fallen asleep."

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

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

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

In another room not far away, Xu Guoping had just finished admiring the night view of Manhattan from the window of this top hotel, and dialed the phone number at home.

After the call was connected, I heard her breathing was uneven and heavy.Xu Guoping asked suspiciously, "Haven't you 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 a little excitedly, and also analyzed that Tao Zhiming might be planning to reuse him, and then he heard something fall to the ground over there, and heard a faint "shit".

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

Chapter 361 Opportunity to invest in Bloomberg

Xu Guoping understood in an instant, the knuckles holding the phone receiver turned white, and his teeth were clenched.

Jennifer on the other end of the phone tried to get away with it, and immediately asked in a curious tone: "And then? Is it possible that the new boss will give you a promotion?"

Xu Guoping did not answer.

"Honey?"

"I don't know yet..." Xu Guoping said immediately, "There are still many things to do tomorrow, so let's stop here first, I have to be ready to solve the problems I will encounter."

After finishing speaking, he pretended to ignore him and chatted quickly as usual. After hanging up the phone, he immediately called another friend who lived nearby: "Victor, can you go to my house as soon as possible and help me confirm something thing?"

"...It's so late, what happened?"

"I'm on a business trip in New York, Jennifer may have betrayed me, I need to confirm." Xu Guoping said calmly, "Do me this favor."

His friend was not stupid, he was silent for a while and said, "Okay, we can arrive in five minutes. What if she doesn't open the door for me?"

"You are my original roommate, do you still have the key?"

"...Robert, what if I broke in like this and was shot dead?"

"There is no gun at home, and I rented the house, what are you afraid of?" Robert is Xu Guoping's English name here, and he said calmly, "I shouldn't have made her aware that something was wrong. The business trip is planned, and that man probably won't leave."

"it is good!"

Xu Guoping felt even more aggrieved when he heard his somewhat excited tone.

He was sure he had heard correctly, but he had to have clearer evidence.

After all, he is 33 years old, and Xu Guoping is actually taking Jennifer seriously.Even if part of the reason is for the green card, but for him who intends to stay in the United States, marrying a wife and having children here in the future must be something to do.

It seems that the traditional attitude she showed before and the attitude of valuing her parents' opinions may be just a disguise.Remembering that he often needed to go to various marinas before, Xu Guoping clenched his fists tightly.

Time passed little by little, and Xu Guoping didn't know what was going on in Los Angeles.

But in any case, this is not something that I can remain indifferent to.And if it is confirmed by Victor, then it should be broken.

After a while, he called home again.

It took a long time for someone to answer this time, and it was Victor who answered, only to hear him arguing loudly with Jennifer after picking up the receiver: "Robert called me, so what? It's your fault, you So fucking wrong! Hello?"

Xu Guoping took a deep breath: "I did hear correctly, right?"

"That's right, it's a black man, and I've driven him away. What now?"

Xu Guoping's eyes were burning with anger, and then he said: "I paid the rent, and you are still a roommate in the contract. Now help me kick her out and tell her that we are over."

"Nice job!" Victor actually said with a smile, "Then can I move back?"

"Of course, but we'll each take half."

"... When you come back, treat me to dinner!"

Xu Guoping heard Jennifer vaguely cursing and rushing over the phone, and said, "Let me tell him."

Victor might have thought it would be okay to break up between them, but Jennifer’s voice on the phone became clear, but she spoke viciously: “You yellow monkey just want to trick me into getting married so I can get a green card? How about it? It’s just as incompetent if you can’t figure it out now, just like you can’t make me feel good enough in bed..."

Xu Guoping heard the veins popping out on his forehead, and said through gritted teeth, "Bring your things and get out of my house!"

"You yellow monkey, I want to sue you for detaining me and raping me..."

Xu Guoping hung up the phone directly, and had nothing to talk to the hysterical woman after the affair was broken.

He was only thankful that he valued savings very much and didn't open a credit card or anything for her.

Then sorrow welled up in my heart, why was she blinded by her when she was already in her 30s and had such poor eyesight?
