It was an old abandoned airport.
Broken planes were parked on the lawn.
Two were Boeing 747s, and the other was an Airbus.
Boeing had a lot of seven-model passenger planes. Many people thought that the bigger the number, the bigger it was.
Actually, it was not. The Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 were not the biggest. The biggest was actually the Boeing 747.
The plane in front of Fang Tian was a Boeing 747.
After leaving the Siskin Group, Feng Yu brought a professional to look at the plane.
In modern society, owning a car was not a big deal. But owning a plane was definitely a super rich person. He did not dare to think about it in the past. Today, he finally had the chance to do it.
"Tell me the parameters of this plane," Fang Tian said.
A man wearing silver-rimmed glasses beside him was an aircraft expert. He looked at the document in his hand and started to explain.
Boeing 747-400 performance data.
Wingspan: 64.4 meters.
Length: 70.6 meters.
Cabin layout: 416 passengers.
Cargo volume: 170 cubic meters.
Maximum fuel tank capacity: 216840 liters.
Maximum commercial load: 65 tons. Maximum takeoff weight: 362-395 tons.
Maximum flight range: 13570 kilometers.
…
Li Wenji, who was wearing a baseball cap, looked at Fang Tian. "This plane is Boeing's biggest. It can carry a lot of weight. After I bought it, I used it to transport goods. "
"Let's go up and take a look."
Li Wenji nodded and brought Fang Tian and the aircraft expert to the plane.
After entering the plane, Fang Tian looked inside. It was empty. There were no seats. After all, this was a cargo plane.
There were a few containers near the edge. There was no cargo inside.
"How much did you spend when you bought it?" Fang Tian asked.
Li Wenji said, "I bought both planes together. The total is 300 million USD. On average, each plane costs about 150 million USD."
Fang Tian walked around the cabin. "How many years has it been? Can it still fly?"
"It is totally fine. It was only three years ago. It stopped flying half a year ago, "Li Wenji said." As long as we spend a few more million to maintain it, it can fly into the blue sky. "
The most important thing was the price. Fang Tian asked, "What's the starting price?"
Li Wenji said, "Last time, the price has been greatly reduced. The starting price is 40 million USD!"
The plane that Li Wenji had bought for 150 million USD was now being auctioned off for only 40 million USD. To be honest, Li Wenji's heart ached, but there was nothing he could do. The last time, no one wanted the plane even when it was auctioned off for 100 million USD.
Now, he was in a hurry to recoup his capital and sell it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the plane was parked here, the monthly parking fee would be a large sum.
Forty million USD was just the starting price. The final price was still unknown.
Fang Tian turned around and instructed the aircraft experts to take a closer look at the plane. How much was it worth?
The aircraft expert nodded and led the team into the cockpit.
"How many companies have signed up for the auction this time?" Fang Tian asked.
Li Wenji stretched out a finger and smiled, "Five families. It won't be easy for you to film it. I can only wish you good luck. "
"Are all the people who signed up for the auction doing express delivery?" Fang Tian asked.
"There are also airlines," Li Wenji said. "The most powerful one is the express delivery company."
Fang Tian was surprised. No way? Even Ma Heng wanted to bid for the plane!
In this era, the Airbus A380 had not been born yet. The world's largest plane was the Boeing 747!
It was worthy of being called a giant in the air. Any man would want to own one!
Many countries' leaders' private planes were modified from the Boeing 747.
Fang Tian looked at the plane's spacious body and felt excited. These were the two planes he wanted.
As for the Airbus.
Fang Tian looked at Li Wenji and asked, "What model is the Airbus?"
Li Wenji said, "Airbus A340. Back then, I bought it second-hand for only 80 million USD. The starting price is 30 million USD. Why? Are you interested in the Airbus? "
"The price is fine." Fang Tian nodded and said, "But it depends on the auction. If it exceeds the budget, then don't buy it."
…
The next morning, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. The weather was good.
The auction for the aircraft was held in this old and abandoned airport.
This old airport had been abandoned for a long time. There were no planes taking off or landing. The terminal building was converted into a shopping and entertainment center.
The boss of Good Luck Express was here. Fang Tian walked into the "terminal building."
The chairman and CEO of Siskin Group, Kim Woo-yeon, was also here.
She had not planned to come, but she was free today. Plus, this auction was indeed a big project. She had to come and take a look.
Inevitably, Ye Qing's secretary followed beside her. The two of them walked into the "terminal building."
A white Mercedes-Benz sped over like a plane. It braked in front of the building!
"Screech!" The Mercedes-Benz stopped and the door opened. The boss of Express Delivery, Ma Heng, appeared.
Although he was the boss, he was as young as Fang Tian. He looked like he was in his twenties.
Together with his assistant, Ma Heng rushed into the "terminal building" in a hurry.
On the top floor of the "terminal building," the auction site.
The staff from Li Wenji's company, the staff of the auction company, and guests from major logistics and airline companies were all present. There were hundreds of people gathered in the hall.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, three big planes could be seen parked outside.
The one on the left was an Airbus A340. The other two planes were Boeing 747.
They stayed there quietly, waiting for their owners to take them away.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, Kim Woo-yeon looked at the planes outside and whispered, "Are we going to bid for all three planes?"
"Not necessarily. It depends on the bidding. "Fang Tian said," In fact, at present, two planes are enough. "
If there was only one plane, it was definitely not enough. Once it entered maintenance, there would be no plane to use. At least two planes were needed.
"Which plane do you like?" Ye Qing asked aloud.
"The biggest one."
Ye Qing snorted and said, "Hmph, you want the biggest one for everything. You can only be described with one word — vulgar!"
Fang Tian chuckled and didn't argue with her. Of course, the bigger the plane, the better. After all, it was impossible to use pigeons to deliver packages.
Pigeons were just a legend. In fact, these "couriers" were quite unprofessional and irresponsible. The rate of missing letters was very high, let alone delivering them to the destination.
In today's auction, besides the three planes, there were also warehouses. Since they were going to do logistics, they couldn't do without logistics warehouses.
One of the two warehouses was located in the Binhai Aviation Industrial Park and the other in the Capital Aviation Industrial Park. Both were near the airport. The two warehouses would be auctioned together.
As long as the price was right, Fang Tian would buy them.
"Mr. Fang, are you here to buy planes too?" Ma Heng walked over with a smile.
Fang Tian looked at the planes outside the window and asked, "You too?"
"Of course." Ma Heng patted his chest. "As the largest courier company in the country, I'm determined to get the warehouses and planes!"
In other words, he would compete with him later.
