“Very simple, I’d like to get the plane within 10 days at best, or at latest within 20 days. I am someone who prefers to buy things swiftly. So, whoever can provide the plane within this short amount of time, I’ll buy from them.” Finn Lewis said with a smile.
As soon as Finn’s words came out, everyone in the room was taken aback. What? We’re talking about buying an aircraft here, not cabbage! 20 days? Are you kidding me? Even getting a car in 20 days can be uncertain at times!
“That’s impossible! Mr. Lewis, this is an aircraft! A large aircraft! We can’t just have it ready for you to choose like something off a supermarket shelf! You need to place an order first, then we can arrange the production. Otherwise, the financial pressure would be too high. We can’t just manufacture a product worth several billion Federal coins and wait for someone to buy it.” Gary Greer directly and simply spoke up.
Finn just laughed and neither agreed nor disagreed. He turned directly to Lawrence Rodger and co and said: “Gentlemen, it’s time to test your capabilities. I don’t care about anything else, I just want to buy an aircraft right now. As for the money, that’s not a problem!”
After hearing what Finn said, Gary and Michael Bolton exchanged glances.
Now they understood why they were invited to Rhine Kingdom Bank, Red Flower Bank, and other banks, instead of being contacted directly by Finn. The guy clearly didn’t even plan to buy an aircraft properly! Do the two aircraft companies have stock? Of course, they do! There would definitely be airplanes nearing delivery after someone else placed an order. Finn obviously wanted to buy these aircraft, more bluntly, he wanted to cut the line and buy them fresh off production. As for how to explain to the others waiting, who cares? Anyway, the companies could always use excuses like low production rates to delay order deliveries.
Once, North Federation Express had placed an order for an A380 from Sky Crane, but due to various reasons, the delivery was delayed and the Express eventually cancelled the order. Of course, in such cases, they wouldn’t have to pay any deposit or breach of contract fees.
After Lawrence and Oscar Blair exchanged glances, they directly addressed Gary and Michael Bolton: “Gentlemen, I believe there are airplanes ready for delivery in your companies. Don’t play dumb, we have relevant information. You definitely have such long-range planes in stock. Is there any chance you could let us buy them? As for expenses and such, you don’t need to worry.”
“Exactly, no need to worry about expenses. The antiques in this restaurant alone, including these chairs we’re sitting on and these teacups we’re using, are worth more than 10 billion Federal coins.” Oscar also chimed in without hesitation.
Both Gary and Michael Bolton looked surprised, subconsciously glancing at the teacups in their hands, “Yes, the teacups you’re holding are also antiques, each worth at least twenty or thirty thousand Federal coins.” Lawrence shrugged.
“Cough, cough… That’s none of my business.” Dim Morris, sitting at the side, choked on his saliva. Although he knew the tables and other items here were antiques when he first came in, it never occurred to him that the antiques in this room were worth 10 billion Federal coins!
What does 10 billion Federal coins mean?! That’s a whopping 60 billion Flame Nation coins! The registered capital of Flame Nation’s commercial flight only stands at 19 billion! Damn, that’s more than three times the registered capital of Flame Nation Commercial Flight! And all this for a restaurant? Dim Morris felt like he couldn’t handle it anymore! Could this world let someone have some fun?
Not only was Dim Morris left speechless, but also Gary and Michael Bolton. They had seen rich dudes in the Federation, including countless other tycoons… but a restaurant with an investment of 10 billion Federal coins? They had never seen or even heard of such a thing.
Now, if you have to include those ultra-luxurious hotels as well… Alright, forget about what they said. But you can’t compare the size of those hotels to this restaurant! Is there even a comparison here?!
After exchanging glances, Gary murmured, hesitating for a moment, “Mr. Lewis, we can consider your request, but currently, there aren’t many aircrafts that Wolfhawk could deliver within a month. I need to discuss this with our headquarters. Besides, if it’s urgent, we might need some additional fees.”
Gary finished talking, Michael Bolton seemed to have thought of something, stood up, and asked, “Mr. Lewis, may I step out to make a call?”
“Of course.” Finn nodded, smiling. Then Michael Bolton immediately got up and quickly walked out. Since Olivia had said so, he was certain that these two companies must have passenger planes that met his requirements and would deliver them soon. Anyway, the purpose of Finn’s purchase was just to get a private plane and then establish a flight route accordingly. In this way, it would not be so easy for others to track Finn’s whereabouts.
Obviously, the plane was private. Although there was a need for border inspection, it was actually very easy to hide something, especially when Finn had a god-like storage object that people could never discover.
After hesitating for a while, Gary barely stood up and said, “I also need to make a call.”
When they all left, Matthew Chan shook his head helplessly, “Sorry, Mr. Lewis, our bank may not be able to help you in this regard.”
“Well, not entirely, Bank President Chan. Although I will buy the plane, I may still need your help for domestic route application. Of course, I mean you and your banks. The Red Bank, as the largest commercial bank in the country, undeniably has considerable influence domestically. Therefore, I have no doubt about Red Bank’s relationship with various airlines.”
“No problem, I can help Mr. Lewis get in touch with various airlines and sign relevant entrusted management agreements.” Bank President Chan instantly agreed. It’s rather difficult to apply for private plane routes domestically, but with Red Bank’s help, there shouldn’t be too many issues.
“For foreign applications, I may need to trouble the two of you.” Finn turned to Lawrence and Oscar again.
“That’s no problem, it’s easier to apply for private plane routes abroad. Whatever requirements Mr. Lewis has, we can assist in signing relevant agreements.” Oscar answered readily.
Only then did Finn nod in satisfaction. Meanwhile, Luca Hall suddenly spoke up, “Boss, before coming here, I gathered a lot of information on various airlines in the North Federation. Many airlines offer entrusted operations for private planes. I have listed for you those that are outstanding in this field. I have already consulted them about our programs. They said they could apply for a route for you in as short as three days..”
