Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 446 Where is your plane parked?
"Wait, wait, Mr. Smith, please speak slowly. I will calculate with you."

Taking the banknotes on the opponent's table, Carter followed the algorithm described by Smith to calculate:

The first is the purchase tax reduction, and the second is the transaction tax. These two parts are one-time, and they are only beneficial to themselves, so let’s ignore them.From HT's point of view, the rent of 2000 million US dollars for ten years can be included in the company's operating costs to obtain tax exemption, and this is no problem.

According to the current corporate income tax standard, with HT's profitability, it is appropriate to reach the tax rate standard of about 45%.Then this 2000 million US dollars means saving 900 million US dollars in taxes.

If you add all the operating costs of the aircraft, such as crew salaries and benefits; such as airport service fees; such as aircraft maintenance and maintenance costs; such as aviation fuel consumables, etc.
"In terms of follow-up expenses, the maximum amount of various maintenance expenses is calculated as the tax declaration cost, and the actual operation is at a lower cost. Is this your plan?"

"That's right! It's not a small price to maintain a plane. There are a lot of expenses that are not completely transparent. For example, this plane will be parked at New Haven Airport for a long time in the future. It is a small airport. The grounding charge of the airport is definitely not as good as that of our Boston International Airport, but we can use the parking charge standard of Boston Airport, or even the standard of New York Airport. It costs 10 US dollars to park a plane for one day, and the IRS doesn’t have the energy to check them one by one.”

Smith nodded, and while affirming Carter's statement, he continued to introduce:

"In addition to this, there are car entry fees, take-off and landing fees, and air traffic control command fees. If you want to use services such as guided vehicles and deicing vehicles, there will be additional fees, etc. These fees are all unreasonable. Fixed, and the unit price is relatively high. In the future, after you get this plane, you can use it as much as you can, especially in a small airport like New Haven. As long as they issue a service provision certificate later, we can apply for more Too much cost."

"Assuming that it costs 500 million dollars a year to maintain this plane, it will cost another 400 million dollars in ten years, which can save [-] million dollars in taxes. The actual expenditure may only be about [-] million dollars, which is equivalent to saving money in disguise. I paid [-] million, combined with the aircraft leasing, I will talk to the tax office later, and the rent should be raised a bit. In short, if you think you must need this aircraft now, then my suggestion is to operate like this!"

"HT helps you pay a part, but not much. If you don't count the rent, that is, when you, the major shareholder, cash out, the actual expenditure is only about 100 million. Compared with HT's current profit, it is only for this money to be used. Benefits such as car allocation to executives are basically tax-saving operations, so that other shareholders can also account for it.”

"That is to say, if I want to order now, I still have to pay 700 million myself first?"

There is nothing wrong with Smith's words, but Carter can't help but feel a little resentful: there is no money again
"It's hard to say, the rent may be increased a bit, and it depends on the delivery time of the aircraft you ordered. At the beginning, you may only need to pay a deposit of 250 to 300 million yuan, and the rest will be paid gradually according to the production schedule. .Assuming you order it now and deliver it in two years, if the rent is raised to [-] million or [-] million, then you may not need to pay much yourself, and the rent paid in advance every year is enough to pay for it.”

"Let me call Gulfstream first and ask."

Two or three years.
I'm going to graduate in two or three years, so what's the use of getting a plane then? emmm, it cannot be said that it is useless, but when its use value is the highest, it may just be missed
After sighing again, Carter picked up the phone on Smith's desk, and then took out the phone book in his arms.
Ignoring Paulson's exclamation, after confirming Carter's needs, Paulson sincerely suggested:
"According to your current needs, I recommend you to order Gulfstream II. We are friends, and I will not hide it from you. The thing bought from Grumman. Gulfstream II can basically be said to be an asset I bought. The asset project delivered to me by Grumman contained almost a complete set of technical information for the production of Gulfstream II. I actually didn’t go into it. How much research and development funds are invested, relatively speaking, the cost is much lower!"

"If it is Gulfstream III, it is better to order this year. Its price is much higher than that of Gulfstream II. No matter what, 490 million US dollars is needed. If it is Gulfstream II, [-] million US dollars is enough, not an option. Fittings!"

"Due to price issues and market acceptance issues, the main model produced by our factory is still the Gulfstream II. In this way, the delivery cycle is also faster! The brand new Gulfstream II, we have one coming off the assembly line, just waiting for Roller The engine from S. Royce has arrived. After it is installed, it can be taken off the assembly line for test flight, and then the optional parts can be assembled. Normally, it can be delivered within half a year at most. If there are no special customized options, This depends on whether your matching situation is complicated. If your demand is urgent, I can communicate with its original customer to see if I can adjust it for you and give priority to your delivery here."

"That's great, this is what I need! I'll see when I go back and communicate with you about the matching plan!"

With the bare metal selling price of US$490 million, excluding the part that HT helped fund, the funds that I need to pay in advance may be reduced to about one million to two million, which undoubtedly greatly relieves my immediate capital turnover pressure.

It's just that it was expected to save money here, but Paulson brought up a new topic on the back foot:
"OK, no problem. You know the address. I'll be there anytime. Also, Carter, where do you plan to park this plane after you buy it? Macon Municipal Airport?"

"Is there an airport in Macon?!"

Puzzled, Carter quickly added:

"Ah, it doesn't matter. In the past few years, it should be parked in New Haven, where I am usually."

"Is that so? You always want to go home, right? Don't you plan to build an airport at Douglas? Macon's municipal airport is managed by TBI Airport Management Company. This company is a well-known vampire in the general aviation market. .The closest airport to Douglas that can support business jets, if I remember correctly, is the one in Macon."

"Either it will go south to Jacksonville, or it will fall directly to Savannah, our Gulfstream company. Actually... Actually, let's be honest, do you remember the test flight field project I mentioned to you last year? Now you also have demand Yes, I have them here too, and it’s very urgent. How about it? Think about it? After my Gulfstream maintenance team and flight test team have passed by, your maintenance work will be better, and this will be very helpful to local development. , and maybe your local municipal government is also willing to support you.”
