My rebirth is different

Chapter 746 Time to Buy a Private Jet

Before the plane takes off, board the plane directly through the VIP channel, and the passengers in the economy class have already been seated.

It is the Chinese New Year period now, and there are relatively few passengers on the plane, and there are only three Yu Wenfeis in the first class cabin.

Seeing Yu Wenfei, the eyes of the first-class stewardess lit up.

Now in China, Yu Wenfei's fame and influence may be much greater than those kings and queens in the entertainment industry.

If you walk on an ordinary street and stand in the crowd, some people may not be sure that he is Yu Wenfei, because there are always some people who look not too different from Yu Wenfei.

Besides, most people know Yu Wenfei through newspapers, the Internet, or TV, so there is still a little difference between him on the screen and in reality.

But when they appeared in the first-class cabin of the plane, it was easy to recognize them. People who could afford first-class cabins in those days were either rich or expensive, and they happened to look more like Yu Wenfei. The probability is too low.

Besides, when he got on the plane, at the cabin gate, the flight attendant checked his ticket, and there was a name on it...

So, after Yu Wenfei sat down, the stewardess ignored Zhou Mengyi and Pei Er and walked around Yu Wenfei directly.

Ask courteously from time to time if you want water, newspapers and magazines, blankets...

"Boss, you can consider buying a private jet. You may need to fly abroad more frequently in the future. It is still inconvenient not to have a private jet." Zhou Mengyi lay on the seat a little tired, watched the stewardess go away with a smile, turned her head to the side Yu Wenfei said.

This period was really hard for her. She went to the capital when she came back from America. She just returned to Shanghai today and didn’t have a rest. She was dragged by Yu Wenfei to go to America again.

With the development of the business in the United States, not only Yuwenfei, but also the executives of the group company have increased the frequency of commuting between the United States and China, so it is not impossible to buy a private jet.

Of course, in 2004, it was very ostentatious to own a private jet in the country.

Because at that time, there were not many private jets in China. Until 2008, there were only eight registered private jets in China. After 2008, the explosive growth was developed.

Many people may not have imagined that the first city in China to buy private jets and own the most private jets is Xiangcheng.

The first domestic boss who owns a private jet is Mr. Zhang of Xiangcheng Yuanda Group. The reason why he bought a private jet actually has a little story.

In the winter of [-], on a snowy day, the flight was delayed because of the heavy snow, and Mr. Zhang was blocked at the Capital Airport.

However, the flights to various cities slowly took off, but there was no movement in the direction of Xiangcheng. Mr. Zhang felt that not only wasted a lot of time, but also was discriminated against!
So, a month later, he went to the United States and bought two planes in one go, a business jet and a helicopter.Become the first person in China to own a private business jet and helicopter.

Jet planes are used for long distances, helicopters are used for commuting, and you will never have to wait for the plane again!

Rich is so arrogant.

Oh, not only did he buy the plane, Mr. Zhang also obtained the first private helicopter pilot's license in China.

Driven by him, several business leaders in Xiangcheng also bought private jets one after another. It can be said that Xiangcheng is ahead of the whole country in terms of private jets.

…………

Although private jets are expensive, costing tens of millions or hundreds of millions, it is not unaffordable for Yu Wenfei.

Hearing Zhou Mengyi mention this matter, he replied with a smile: "This matter will be resolved immediately, by the way, Mengyi, do you still remember my fourth uncle?"

"Of course I remember, didn't we go to your fourth uncle's house together a while ago?" Zhou Mengyi replied.

"Well, he will transfer his job after the next year to serve as the boss of a branch under China Eastern Airlines. One of the business operations of China Eastern Airlines Pearl Company is private jets. At that time, I plan to inject capital into it and take part of the shares, so that Pearl The company purchased some private jets in the name of the company. If there is a need in the future, a phone call is enough, and you don’t have to worry too much, China Eastern Airlines is a professional airline.” Yu Wenfei explained.

Although I am not short of money, but I can take this opportunity to gain a foot in the aviation industry, so why not do it.

For aviation, Yuwenfei has a longer-term plan, which is not limited to the field of transportation and private aircraft.Of course, those things are still far away.

"Direct investment? That would require a lot of investment. Airplanes are not cheap." Zhou Mengyi exclaimed.

"It's okay. This is a long-term investment. The investment is large, and the future returns will be large. Moreover, this kind of industry does not have the opportunity to get involved at any time." Yu Wenfei said casually.

After discussing the matter of private jets for a while, the topic returned to Star Electronics Holdings. Zhou Mengyi still had a lot of doubts about the development of this company.

"Mr. Fei, why do you want to develop the three brands separately? Integrating them together, developing high, middle and low end together, wouldn't the product line be richer, and it would save a lot of trouble even if it is a channel." Zhou Mengyi asked. Come on, it turns out that the model of the new Lenovo Group is very good. After the acquisition of IBM's personal computer business, it can be merged directly.

Then a management team can take over the management, which can improve a lot of efficiency in production, sales, and after-sales links.

Because regardless of the high-end, high-end and low-end brands, they can use the same factory, the same sales and after-sales channels. Now that they are separated, each brand may have to establish its own sales and after-sales channels. This is not causing trouble for itself.

Hearing Zhou Mengyi's question, Yu Wenfei became very interested and chatted a lot. Instead of answering the question directly, he asked instead: "Mengyi, what do you think is the most valuable item in the THINKPAD division we acquired?"

Zhou Mengyi frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, she replied, "It should be the technical patents and technical team accumulated over the years."

Yu Wenfei shook his head lightly, "No, the most valuable thing should be the THINKPAD brand!"

Seeing Zhou Mengyi's puzzled expression, he smiled and explained patiently.

"This is the brand positioning. When Lenovo is mentioned, the first reaction of domestic consumers is that it is a good brand computer with moderate price and high cost performance.

When mentioning THINKPAD, users all over the world will immediately blurt out, high-end business computers, high price and high quality!

Therefore, for laptops with the same configuration and even the same cost, THINKPAD sells for more than 2 yuan. Everyone will not question this price. Those who can afford it will buy it without hesitation, and those who cannot afford it will only envy it. would say something else.

But does Lenovo dare to sell more than 2?
If it dares to set such a high price, it is estimated that consumers will scold it to death, saying that Lenovo is a black-hearted manufacturer, and it is impossible for consumers to pay for it.

This is the power of branding!

Because in everyone's mind, Lenovo can only sell low-end computers, and THINKPAD is naturally noble!This is also the fixed brand image that the two brands have formed in the minds of consumers after years of operation since their inception.

After we acquired THINKPAD, under this brand, whether it is to continue to launch notebook computers or mobile phones.As long as a new product comes out, it is a high-end product. If the quality of the product is strong enough, consumers will accept whatever high price it sells. "

Zhou Mengyi may not understand yet, but Yu Wenfei knows how difficult it is to build a high-end brand successfully.

In the future, he will focus on the high-end mobile phone market and win THINKPAD. On the one hand, it is for the various technologies accumulated by the brand over the years, and on the other hand, it is for the brand reputation.

This is a high-end brand that IBM has spent decades, spent countless dollars on, and built on the foundation of IBM's transcendent industry status!

To be honest, it only cost 12 billion U.S. dollars, which is a big bargain.

If you build a new brand from scratch and want to reach the height of THINKPAD, let alone how much it costs, it will take many years.

This is something Yu Wenfei can't bear.

Why is Apple's mobile phone so popular? It once became a phenomenal product.On the one hand, the mobile phone does have its unique features, and on the other hand, it is not the word-of-mouth and brand effect that the Apple brand has accumulated over the years.

From the beginning of making computers, Apple's products are synonymous with "work of art", delicate, beautiful, and unique, which is Apple's consistent product image.

When they made mobile phones, they also followed the same product concept.

To be honest, when the Apple mobile phone was first launched, it was not much ahead of Nokia, Dopod, and Motorola, but it was because of Apple's products that it caused enough sensation.

If this kind of technology product is developed by an unknown Chinese company and wants to be promoted globally, it will be an extremely difficult process, and it may face a completely different result from Apple's mobile phone.

So Yu Wenfei wants to buy THINKPAD, and then launch his new mobile phone under this brand.

It can be said that he has learned from the development path of Apple's mobile phone and has improved and optimized it.

I said so much to Zhou Mengyi today to cultivate her. Zhou Mengyi's education level is not high. Although she has been studying by herself in the past few years and has made great progress, she still needs a lot of strengthening if she wants to take charge of a brand business department like THINKPAD.

Yu Wenfei could also find an excellent professional manager to take the position of president of THINKPAD, but he didn't do it.

Because he promised Zhou Mengyi a few years ago that he would show her a new world and let her take charge of a sufficiently great company.

And Zhou Mengyi has been helping him conscientiously all these years, following him without complaint.

How could Yu Wenfei give up on her?

After chatting for a while, Zhou Mengyi was a little tired, and unknowingly leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Yu Wenfei called the stewardess to bring a thin blanket and gently covered her.
