Chapter 555 Supplies for an Airplane
When Sheng Xiping revealed what he wanted, Alexander, Ivanov, and the others were all quite surprised.
"Sheng, what do you need all of these for?" We just bought more than twenty fighter jets, and now you want to buy large aircraft? What's the point?
“It’s useful.” Sheng Xiping smiled. What could he do? He would definitely sell it to places that needed it.
"Don't worry, I need a passenger plane. Non-civilian equipment can be removed. The Il-76 should be able to be converted into a passenger plane, right?"
Alexander and the others were still a bit confused, and only nodded mechanically.
"How is it? Can it be done?"
Nowadays, these upper-class Russians are trying every means to make money and deposit it into foreign accounts. If the situation changes, these people will be the first to run away.
Moreover, this isn't US dollars, it's Chinese yuan.
"Stay away from me and keep your distance. You want to get involved in everything."
On June 25th, Sheng Xiping and his entourage finally returned to China. As required by relevant departments, all planes landed at an airport near the capital.
During the phone call, Alexander also subtly hinted to Sheng Xiping to revise the supply list and increase the price by 30%.
In the afternoon, a grand and lively banquet was held at this estate in Alexandria.
With Elder Yang's words, the matter is settled.
Two weeks later, the first batch of goods was delivered to the designated location as agreed in the contract.
Of course, the main purpose of the banquet was to allow Sheng Xiping to meet that important figure.
This price is truly a fire sale, it's as cheap as it gets.
"Okay, that's settled then. After your friend replies, I'll arrange for someone to contact Sichuan Airlines for you. How to negotiate is up to you."
As you can imagine, the banquet that night ended with everyone getting drunk.
If we could get our hands on an empty Wenhao or a small dock, that would be even better.
After seeing Alexander and his entourage off, Sheng Xiping immediately visited Elder Yang and several other leaders to share his thoughts with them.
This delighted the leaders of Sichuan Airlines, who immediately contacted Sheng Xiping to discuss the purchase of the aircraft.
The bottom line of the contract is five Tu-114s, five Tu-154s, and one Il-76 converted into a passenger plane.
"Brother, why didn't you take me with you to do something so fun?" Wu Yucheng complained as soon as he met Sheng Xiping at the airport.
Therefore, after the first batch of goods was inspected, people were immediately arranged to send the eleven planes, along with Sheng Xiping and his group, back.
The remaining portion will be transported and delivered immediately after Sheng Xiping and his team return to China.
After the contract was signed, Sheng Xiping immediately contacted domestic authorities. The first batch of aircraft was readily available, and Sheng Xiping could hire Russian pilots to fly them directly over.
Alexander readily opened the box, revealing its contents.
When the first box was opened, the important man's expression didn't change much. But when the second box was opened, his expression softened considerably, and he nodded almost imperceptibly.
Alexander and Ivanov personally went to pick up Sheng Xiping and then arranged for him to stay at an estate under Alexander's name.
No matter how many or how exquisite the gifts are, nothing beats the real value of a US dollar.
As Yang had predicted, after the two sides met, the Civil Aviation Administration of China rambled on and on, not getting to the point. Instead, they talked about Sheng Xiping's company and the supermarket.
"What do you think? Can you do it?" Old Yang deliberately tried to negotiate with Sheng Xiping.
"What are you thinking, kid? If you're going to buy one, buy the Tu-95 first! Once you get it, we'll concentrate all our technical resources and dismantle it."
"Sir, we wish to purchase a batch of aircraft, and I believe Alexander has already informed you of this."
However, the other party had one condition: Sheng Xiping had to go to Moscow in person, as a very important person wanted to meet him and sign the contract in person.
Sichuan Airlines, founded in 1986, officially started operations last year, and most of its aircraft are old-fashioned Y-7 and Y-12 aircraft.
Meanwhile, Tengyue Company was also working diligently to prepare the goods in accordance with the requirements of the procurement contract. The goods were being transported in batches via the Trans-Siberian Railway.
In his past life, the brilliant man who traded canned goods for airplanes used this opportunity to act as a go-between, exchanging 500 tons of canned goods for four Tu-154s and making a fortune of hundreds of millions.
Once you put it that way, everyone understands.
Seeing this, the nearby healthcare worker quickly came forward to comfort Mr. Yang. After a while, Mr. Yang finally recovered.
Is this guy only thinking about having fun? Doesn't he even consider how chaotic things are over there in Russia? Who knows what dangers he might encounter?
One person can go. If the two top executives of the company both go, what if something really happens?
Sheng Xiping returned to the capital safely, and Sichuan Airlines had already received the news and was anxiously waiting.
"If we both go, what if something happens? Who will take responsibility for the company?" Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping glared at Wu Yucheng.
After some discussion, it was finally agreed that the price would be five million for a Tu-114, seven million for a Tu-154, and fourteen million for an Il-76.
"Grandpa, here's what's going on. I heard that Sichuan Airlines is now asking around the world to buy planes."
"What if I switch the plane back and sell it to them?" Sheng Xiping grinned and revealed the answer.
Afterwards, Sheng Xiping didn't forget to give a gift to everyone who came to sign the contract.
Moreover, this batch of aircraft was made quite well, and the seats and other equipment were also very high-end, completely overturning everyone's preconceived notion that Russian products were bulky, clumsy, and crude.
