Chapter 400: Chapter 400 - Private Jets Are Not Expensive_1

Wang Ye "spent" another $80 million US dollars on his trip to the Black Sea Shipyard.

The $100 million US dollars dividends he received from Khodorkovsky haven’t even warmed his hands, and it was already almost spent...

The large sum of money in his hands, subtracting the $80 million used to purchase warships, is now just over $60 million.

But this money needed to be spent too!

Due to work necessities, purchasing a personal aircraft was imminent, which would involve a significant expense.

After returning to Moscow, Wang Ye made a call to A Bu to inquire about buying a personal aircraft.

A Bu is the head of the second-largest airline company in Russia, so he is well-versed in this field.

After listening to Wang Ye’s requirements, he hesitated slightly and laughed before answering:

"Indeed, you should buy a personal aircraft, and it’s actually not expensive.

From what I know, Boeing is planning to release a new model of a personal plane this year, the Gulfstream G550!

The specifications of this aircraft are astonishing, it can fly up to twelve thousand kilometers at maximum!

This means you can fly directly to any city from Moscow without the need for refueling.

But the delivery of this aircraft would probably take about a year.

In the meantime, if you need, you can rent an aircraft from our airline company, which is even cheaper."

Gulfstream G550?

Wang Ye’s heart shook upon hearing this. The reputation of this aircraft is extraordinary!

According to his knowledge, once the aircraft was launched in the future, it was highly sought after by top global billionaires, with many world-class billionaires choosing this model as their personal aircraft.

If the price is acceptable, it would be a good idea to get one!

"How much does this aircraft cost? If it’s too expensive, I won’t be able to afford it," Wang Ye asked with a smile.

Indeed, he now only had a little over $60 million US dollars cash left in his hand, if it exceeds this amount, he really wouldn’t know where to get the money from.

He couldn’t possibly get a loan just to buy a small plane, that would be embarrassing!

A Bu laughed and replied: "Not expensive! The total cost of the Gulfstream G550 is barely over $50 million US dollars, of course, if you have any special requirements for the interior decoration, then there is no upper limit."

Upon hearing it was only $50 million US dollars, Wang Ye relaxed. This price was acceptable and didn’t seem expensive at all.

"Alright, then please arrange it for me, Uncle. I’ll take the Gulfstream G550. Make the interior decoration elegant, the total budget... no more than $60 million US dollars should suffice. Once the aircraft is delivered, it’ll be under your airline company’s service. This way, applying for flight routes, apron, as well as maintenance, will be more convenient," Wang Ye said decisively.

Luckily he had this connection with A Bu, and was fortunate that A Bu owns a large airline company, which made many things easier for Wang Ye.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know where to order the Gulfstream G550.

Not to mention, handling all sorts of procedures after the aircraft’s delivery would be quite complicated.

Now it’s easy, with A Bu’s company taking the lead, not only can they easily order the aircraft, but they also have professionals to handle the subsequent series of paperwork.

Wang Ye only needed to pay the money and use it!

........

After placing the order for the aircraft, Wang’s personal account was once again emptied.

With a little bit of saving, his personal account was left with just over $3 million US dollars, which were wages and various subsidies from several companies.

But he didn’t have any major expenses in the short term, and this money should be enough for him to return home...

Now, the time has already reached mid-January. The Spring Festival of 2002 is in February according to the Gregorian calendar, and Wang Ye plans to return home at the end of the month.

Due to his other identity, he naturally can’t return home for vacation, like a normal student, for a month.

All in all, he can only spare about half a month, which would minimize "alarms" to other people.

Before returning to China, everything that needs to be arranged must be arranged well, and the appropriate groundwork needs to be laid.

If not, it wouldn’t work to simply disappear for half a month given his identity as a CEO of several big companies and a Duma Member...

Therefore, Wang Ye’s official claim was that he planned to go to the Crimea Peninsula, to accompany Angelina back to Yalta for a while and rest!

This reason is fairly convincing.

Because in January, which is the coldest time in Moscow, many wealthy individuals and political bigwigs would go abroad for vacation to avoid the cold.

He should be eligible now!

The several companies were not a problem since he was the boss, and it was not unreasonable for a boss to go on vacation and rest for half a month and no one can say anything about it.

It was also fine at the Duma; after all, Wang Ye was just an ordinary Congressman and didn’t hold any committee duties thus his work was not that busy.

Even if he were to absent from one or two meetings, no one cares, he just needed to ask for leave in advance.

The key lies with the Kremlin...

After considering for a long time, Wang Ye dialed Gavriil’s number.

"Uncle Gavriil, I will be going abroad at the end of this month, for about half a month. I am telling you in advance."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone before Gavriil asked with a laugh, "That long? Which country are you going to?"

Wang Ye hesitated a bit, gritted his teeth, and answered, "China, my Xiao Ying Group set up a branch there, and we will vigorously develop business there in the future. So, I thought I would go and visit, see how things are."

"Ah, you’re going there. It seems that their traditional Spring Festival is coming soon, I wish you a happy Spring Festival and success in your work in advance," Gavriil said, meaningfully.

Wang Ye smirked and smiled silently.

It’s apparent, Gavriil definitely knows that Mikhail and Wang Ye are the same person!

Of course, Wang Ye also knows that Gebruilai knows about this matter...

However, both of them didn’t explicitly point things out!

Some things just need this kind of tacit understanding, everyone understands without saying anything also work. If the matter is explicitly mentioned, the relationship might become difficult.

........

Before returning to China, all the gifts Wang Ye had to buy were purchased.

He asked Nalan Yaqi to buy two good-quality mink coats from a shopping mall in the city center, one male version and one female. These gifts were for his father and mother.

Shiny and sleek, the quality seems to be really good. His parents would probably like them...

Apart from this, Wang Ye specifically bought a few Black Russian cigarettes to take back.

He wanted to smoke himself, and also thought his dad could try and see if the cigarette suits his taste. After all, his dad is also used to smoking.

With everything prepared, it was time to embark on the journey home. This time, Wang Ye returned home with his original identity, that is, as an ordinary student studying abroad.

Of course, saying ordinary student is not accurate, because ordinary students studying abroad won’t be able to afford first-class seats when they return home...
