Chapter 643 Another classic(1/3)
Affected by the hot market, Tao Yushu's share reduction plan did not have much impact on the stock prices of its listed companies. Until June, the share reduction plan had come to an end, everything went smoothly, and billions of funds were put into pockets.
Externally, the statement of this reduction in holdings is to invest and improve life, which is exactly the same as the previous reasons.
In fact, over the past three years, Tao Yushu has reduced its holdings in its listed companies three times, cashing out nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
After paying tax, except for a small part of these funds stayed in Xiangjiang, most of them entered the capital markets of China, the United States and other countries, creating continuous wealth for the couple.
When the couple reached the wealth level of their husband and wife, it was impossible for the eggs to be placed in one basket.
On the way to the city from the Capital Airport, Du Feng said to Tao Yushu: "Sister, you said you have cashed out so much money. Should you buy a private jet, a private yacht, or something, and enjoy life!"
"I ordered, delivery next year."
Du Feng's original intention was to be a bit joking, and he couldn't help but stare at Qing Qing when he heard this.
"You really buy it? A yacht?"
"airplane?"
Du Feng was even more excited. He had been wandering between Xiangjiang and the mainland in recent years. When he was interacting with his business colleagues, he had experienced the yachts many times. He didn't think it was rare, but private jets were relatively rare.
"Did you really buy a plane? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me!" he asked after him.
Tao Yushu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Is there a report to you?"
"I didn't mean that. I mean... Why did you buy it just by saying that? Does my brother-in-law know?
When Du Feng asked this, he looked at Lin Chaoyang. Lin Chaoyang looked calm, "Don't look at me, I just knew it."
Du Feng looked at Tao Yushu again, "Sister——"
His eyes were filled with gazes that were eager to answer questions and solve problems.
"In recent years, Xiangjiang, mainland China, the United States, and Japan have been flying everywhere, and commercial flights have been wasting time. When I went to the United States two months ago, someone happened to recommend it to me, so I ordered one."
Du Feng asked anxiously again: "Which company's plane? What model?"
"Gulfstream GV."
When Du Feng heard this name, he was shocked again.
He is now a rich man with a ten-figure net worth. He occasionally imagines a better life of owning a private jet and has some private knowledge of some private jet manufacturers and models.
Gulfstream Aerospace is currently the largest luxury and large-scale business jet manufacturer in the world. It entered the business jet field as early as the 1950s.
In the past four decades, its business jets such as Gulfstream I, Gulfstream, Gulfstream I, Gulfstream IV, Gulfstream V-type, Gulfstream IV-SP have been sought after by top wealthy people in the world.
"Is the GV the ultra-long-range aircraft that has just been certified?"
"yes."
"That's not cheap, right?"
"Stop $44 million—"
Already prepared, Du Feng did not show any shock, but he still couldn't help but feel shocked by his sister's big moves.
Gulfstream GV is Gulfstream's first ultra-long-range business aircraft with a range of up to 12,000 kilometers and equipped with Rawls
Reus BR710 engine, with a maximum speed of Mach 0.9 and a cruising height of 16,000 meters.
Its first flight in 1995, just obtained certification this year and officially entered service.
The voyage of up to 12,000 kilometers was destined to be born for trans-ocean flight.
Gulfstream launched this ultra-long-range aircraft to deal with Bombardier's global express model.
After its launch, this aircraft has lived up to Gulfstream's high expectations and established its leading position in the high-end business jet market.
As of 2008, the model had sold 182 aircraft, ranking first in the sales list of ultra-long-range business aircraft for a long time.
You should know that Gulfstream GV is not cheap. The bare metal alone costs as much as $31 million. In addition to the expenses such as option and purchase tax, Tao Yushu spent a total of $44 million.
Of course, this money was definitely not from Tao Yushu's personal expenses. Tao Yushu bought the plane in the name of Lin's Film. After listening to my sister talk about the specific situation of the plane, Du Feng's shock gradually faded away, leaving only the eagerness and impatient mood.
"Sister, you must take me to experience it after the plane is delivered." After saying that, he showed a look of imagination on his face, "It's exciting to fly a large plane that can be more than 10,000 kilometers!"
"Some time ago, who bought a small Cessna plane in Hunan, was so proud that the news was hyped up for a while."
Two months ago, Zhang Yue, the boss of Hunan Yuanda, purchased a Cessna 525 business jet. The aircraft has a range of only 2,750 kilometers and is less than 70 million yuan, which is less than 1/4 of the Gulfstream GV.
But even so, this incident became a hot news nationwide at that time.
Buying a private plane tens of millions is completely beyond the perception of ordinary people.
"Sister, it would have been great if you bought this plane two months earlier, and it would have been a big shot!" Du Feng said with a little regretful tone.
"I just know how to show off my head, do you know if the birds are hitting the gun?" Tao Yushu told Du Feng and said earnestly: "You are almost forty, so it's not bad to be low-key in your work."
Du Feng shouted, "I'm just talking about it. Look at what I've done in the past few years, besides buying some houses and cars?"
Due to his background, Du Feng was destined to be unable to sway around like the first batch of wealthy bosses after the reform and opening up, and he wanted to lift his tail to the sky.
"I just talked about you." Tao Yushu sarcastically said.
Du Feng was bored, but he still didn't get away from the private plane, and he couldn't help asking Tao Yushu for more details.
When he heard that it cost nearly 40 million yuan to maintain a plane every year, his condition was finally not as excited as before.
Private jets are very expensive, not only because of the price, but also because of the maintenance.
Crew salaries, parking fees, service fees, aircraft maintenance and maintenance costs—·
Gulfstream GV is a large business jet and the maintenance cost is extremely high.
This is why large business jets can only be toys exclusive to the top rich.
A wealthy man like Du Feng, who has a net worth of billions, can afford it, but may not be able to support it.
After all, assets do not equal liquidity, and the annual consumption of RMB 40 million can be called a gold-swalking beast.
"Good guy! If you have used it for seven or eight years, you can buy another plane." Du Feng said in amazement.
"Yes, if it weren't for saving time and making the journey more comfortable, I wouldn't want to spend this money," said Tao Yushu.
In recent years, she has been abroad with a high frequency, and she spends more than half a month every year alone.
Taking a business class or charter flight may make the journey more comfortable, but it does not save time or trouble. With a private plane, it can save her at least three to five days of travel time every year.
40 million yuan is exchanged for 5 days, and this is still profitable for Tao Yushu.
As we chatted all the way, the convoy stopped at the entrance of Xiaoliubukou Hutong. The moving house was helped by Du Feng, and the bodyguards were responsible for the care of the house, which was not troublesome.
After a day of hard work, Lin Chaoyang invited guests to dinner the next day, and the whole family gathered together rarely.
Tao Yucheng joked, "It's interesting to say that Xiangjiang has not returned before, so you and your wife ran out.
Now that Xiangjiang is returning, you and your husband are back."
Listening to his words, the family couldn't help but smile.
The couple returned to Yanjing with their children, which was naturally the happiest for the elderly in the two families.
"Chaoyang and my children will live in Yanjing in the future, so I have to run back and forth in a few places," said Tao Yushu.
Everyone in the family knows the attributes of Tao Yushu's "Flying Man in the Air" that today, Hong Kong, tomorrow the United States, and the day after tomorrow Japan, are busier than leaders.
Not to mention her, even Tao Yumo has this trend now.
It happened to be a business trip when he was on a plane, and Du Feng boasted about the "private plane" she just bought for Tao Yushu, which made his family shocked.
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and the money will be spent."
Lin Erchun is now the largest house insect in Yanjing City. He handles at least 20 to 30 million yuan every year. He has more than 200 people under his command. When he says this, he is full of the luxury of a big boss.
Du Feng stretched out his thumb like a dog-legged, "Uncle Lin! You still have insight!"
After a meal was finished while talking and laughing, Tao Yushu rarely stayed in Yanjing for a few more days.
Thursday, June 12th, today is the day when the "Father" drama premieres.
The black Mercedes-Benz was parked at the entrance of the Capital Theater. Lin Chaoyang and his family got off and saw dozens of people surrounded by ticket booths from afar.
"I just remembered to buy tickets now, so how could I buy them?" Tao Yushu glanced at the crowd of people and said.
Lin Chaoyang chuckled and said, "Those who didn't get tickets. I guess they wanted to take advantage of today's performance to try their luck."
The drama market is now sluggish, but the People's Art Theatre is the leader in the drama industry. Not only do you have to worry about selling tickets for popular dramas, but you can even have scalpers.
In 1992, the last "Teahouse" on the stage was bid for 600 yuan per ticket.
As early as a week ago, the performance information of "Father" appeared on the pages of major newspapers in Yanjing.
The original novel "Father" is very touching, and has sold more than 4 million copies in China so far, with a huge influence.
The drama of the same name was adapted by Lin Chaoyang himself, performed by the top lineup of the People's Art Theater. As soon as the news in the newspaper came out,
Many drama fans were moved by the news.
Some drama fans even lined up at the entrance of the ticket booth of the Capital Theater the night before the ticket was released. Because it was the first performance, there were not many tickets released that day and it was sold out in 10 minutes.
This is because of manual ticket sales. If you can book tickets on your phone like in later generations, you probably won’t have any tickets in seconds.
"It seems that I am not passionate enough. If we showed the enthusiasm of queuing up to buy books all night, how could we not be able to buy tickets?" Tao Yu Shuyu said jokingly.
