Chapter 492 Private Jet Delivery: Luxurious Gulfstream
After the New Year, Su Yang became busy again.
The filming of "The Wandering Earth" is about to come to an end. Su Yang wants to finish filming the movie as soon as possible and then have a good rest for a while.
The box office of "Kung Fu Panda" also began to decline sharply after the Spring Festival, but this was an inevitable result.
Finally, after a month of release, the global box office of "Kung Fu Panda" was released. The global box office of 2.021 billion US dollars made Disney jealous.
You should know that the investment in "Kung Fu Panda" is not that much. Even if the later publicity and marketing expenses are included, the total investment is only 100 million US dollars.
Now, with a global box office of $2 billion, Qingyao Media has once again made a killing. After deducting theater dividends and taxes, Qingyao Media has earned nearly $700 million.
Excluding the $100 million cost, this animated film made Qingyao Media at least $600 million. Who wouldn't be jealous of this number?
And this is just the box office revenue. According to professional organizations, the IP of "Kung Fu Panda" is now worth tens of billions of dollars.
During this period, the licensing of the peripheral IP of "Kung Fu Panda" alone has brought Qingyao Media hundreds of millions of US dollars in net income. This is another cash cow for Qingyao Media.
Qingyao Animation has already started production on Kung Fu Panda 2, with the second installment scheduled to take two years.
It's clear that the Kung Fu Panda series will become a major IP for Qingyao Media. If well-maintained, this IP could generate revenue for Qingyao Media for decades, if not decades. This is the power of animation IP.
In mid-March, at Yanjing International Airport, a very beautiful private plane slowly landed at the airport.
Seeing this plane, some staff around couldn't help but sigh, saying it was another toy for the rich. However, after seeing the Qingyao Media logo on the plane, many people seemed to understand something.
A top-of-the-line private jet, the Gulfstream G700, the latest and most luxurious of Gulfstream aircraft, cost nearly $70 million.
This is the price of the bare aircraft, and many parts of the aircraft have been customized. In total, the value of this aircraft is as high as 100 million US dollars.
In front of a private jet, a so-called supercar immediately looks much lower in class. In front of a private jet worth $100 million, even a super expensive sports car like a Bugatti is completely inferior.
The plane parked steadily on the parking stand and a car drove directly next to the plane.
Su Yang, Tang Qing and Qin Shuyao got out of the car and boarded the plane directly.
"Hello, President Su..."
On the plane, the captain saw Su Yang and greeted him with a smile.
"Thanks for your hard work……"
Su Yang smiled slightly. The captain's name was Tan Lei. He was a pilot Tang Zhengyang had found, and he had extensive flying experience. As for his specific identity, Su Yang didn't know. Tang Zhengyang just said he was absolutely reliable.
The pilots were all found by Tang Zhengyang, and the flight attendants on the plane were found by Tang Qing. The flight attendants were not very young girls, but were in their forties. They were not very pretty, but had strong business skills and good temperament.
The three of them entered the plane, and a stewardess began to explain the various functions of the plane to Su Yang in detail. The crew had gone to the manufacturer a long time in advance, and now they had a clear understanding of the various functions of the plane.
The interior of the plane can be summed up in two words: luxurious.
This is the presidential suite that can be moved in the air. The interior space of this aircraft is quite large. After being customized, it has become a mobile suite in the air.
The master bedroom has a large bed that is two meters wide, which is very comfortable for two people to sleep on.
The children's room is custom-made, with four large cribs specifically designed for four babies. Even if they're ten years old, they won't feel small. There are also two 1.2-meter beds for the nanny, so she can sleep there if you're bringing a baby with her.
If there is no nanny, Su Yang and Qin Shuyao can also sleep here, or the flight attendant can also sleep here.
There are also beds for flight attendants to rest. There is also an in-flight conference room, and the cabin has eight luxurious first-class seats that can also be used as beds.
The kitchen, toilet, bathroom, study, and all the facilities are fully equipped, making perfect use of the space of the entire aircraft.
Living, working, resting, meeting, and many other functions can be perfectly displayed on this aircraft.
At the same time, the parameters and performance of this model are even more amazing. The fastest cruising speed reaches 1,100 kilometers per hour and the maximum range is more than 13,000 kilometers.
This flight distance can easily fly from China to the United States. In the future, if Qingyao Media develops smoothly overseas, Su Yang will fly back and forth on a private jet many times.
This is an intercontinental private jet. Its powerful range, high speed, luxurious configuration and ample space make it the first choice of many top wealthy people in the world.
Of course, the operating cost of this aircraft is also very high, with an annual operating cost of about 20 million RMB.
If it were an ordinary artist, they really couldn't afford it. After all, some artists probably don't make 20 million a year. Even if they could, how many people would be willing to spend 20 million a year on a private jet?
In the entertainment industry, there are also several celebrities who claim to have their own private jets. However, those private jets cannot compare to this plane. Most of the planes they buy are small business jets, which cost only 10 to 20 million RMB and have a range of only 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers.
If Su Yang's private jet is a Lamborghini supercar, then the private jets of other artists in the circle are at most a Porsche 718, which is completely different from the same level.
"Yes, money is a good thing."
After Su Yang experienced the plane, he looked very satisfied.
It's so comfortable. Su Yang used to think that the first-class cabin of an airplane was already very comfortable, but now compared with this private jet, it's like going from a single room to a luxurious villa.
You don’t even have to queue up to get on the plane. You can go directly through the VIP channel and the car will drive directly to the bottom of the plane.
The interior is luxurious and comfortable, while also offering absolute privacy.
No wonder so many wealthy people own private jets. Su Yang used to think that this thing was completely useless. But as he spent more and more time flying in the sky, Su Yang found this thing more and more attractive.
Money is a bastard. Now Su Yang's concept of money is a constant flow of whole numbers. Now that he has money, he should enjoy it.
The plane was also purchased in the company's name, which also allowed for a tax deduction. When Su Yang wasn't using it, he could let other people in the company use it. From now on, company employees would be able to travel on private jets. Who would dare to disobey this pretense?
