Chapter 98 - 99. Plane

"Oh, an Airbus. I didn't think about that. You know, I just decided to buy a plane today, so I don't know what needs to be done when purchasing one," Neo said.

"Is that so? I can help you with all the paperwork once you decide what to buy. Let me introduce you to the Airbus A350-1000. The Airbus A350-1000 is the largest variant of the A350 family, designed for long-range, wide-body passenger travel. It offers a 9-abreast configuration, accommodating around 350-410 passengers in a three-class setup, and boasts a range of approximately 8,400 nautical miles."

"Okay, I know it's big, but enough to accommodate 410 passengers? It's super big. How much is it? And can it be customized?"

"Here's the thing: the seller has only used the plane once and has already customized it. It features six bedrooms, two full-size rooms, and four rooms that can accommodate 20 passengers each. There's also a room for a flight steward, plus a bar, entertainment area, and dining room. Let me send you the pictures." Steve introduced the plane and sent pictures to Neo.

Upon seeing the pictures, Neo was amazed at how much it resembled a house in the sky. "Okay, I want this one."

"Are you sure? The plane itself costs $400 million, and the customization adds another $150 million, bringing the total to $550 million. This Airbus was made in 2024." Steve was a bit baffled. 'Are you buying shoes or something? Think carefully, man. The plane costs only $500, if you negotiate I'll give it for $510 million.

"Alright, $550 million. I'll give you $600 million, and you handle all the paperwork and find me a hangar to rent or buy in California. Can you do that? The rest of the money is yours, or is it not enough?"

What the hell? Even Elon Musk would think hard when buying something like this. "$50 million is a generous fee for all that. I have a friend selling a hangar for $30 million. Plus, to operate the plane, you'll need a permit, which will cost at most $1 million," Steve replied.

"I'm giving you the extra to expedite the process. Money will work for you, right? Hahaha! So can you get it done in a week?" Neo asked.

"It sure can be done in a week. Just give me your address. You'll also need to hire a mechanic and a pilot, and you'll need someone to deliver food," Steve added.

"That's a lot to manage. Maybe I should hire someone to take care of all this? Just contact me when you visit my house for the turnover of the plane and the hangar. Oh, and I need two helicopters—the Bell 525 and the Airbus ACH 160."

"Let me think... The Bell 525 is $15 million, and the Airbus ACH 160 is $22 million. Do you need a hangar for those as well?" Steve inquired.

"No, just deliver them to my house at this address... That brings the total to $637 million. I'll transfer $650 million to you, and you'll provide me with all the papers and permits. Give me your account number and I'll transfer the money now."

"Doing business with you is a great experience. You are very generous. Here's my account number," Steve said.

Neo opened his banking app on his phone and sent the money to Steve. "Sent! Just give me a call when you're done and ready for me to sign all the papers."

"Okay, Neo. It's been nice doing business with you." Steve turned off his phone and shouted excitedly, "YES! $81 million in a single day. Let me find out who Neo is. Based on his voice, he sounds like he's in his late 20s or early 30s." Steve opened his computer and searched for Neo, and immediately, many news articles appeared on his screen.

"Damn, he's only 20 years old and already has three famous girlfriends. He also bought an expensive house in Bel Air. What else... oh, he has cars like they're candy? Lucky for me, I stayed professional and didn't rebuff his request. Okay, let's get to work. It's better to have a big client like this as an acquaintance," Steve thought.

After ending the call, Neo leaned back in his chair and considered what he needed to do next. After a while, he remembered the cancer formula. He thought selling it could be a good idea, with all the money going to his charity. A worldwide charity is such a noble goal.

"Isaac might have the contact information for the CEO of Johnson & Johnson. Big companies like them tend to associate with each other," Neo thought as he dialed Isaac's number. Shortly, Isaac's voice came through the line.

"Neo, why are you calling? The auction starts later," Isaac said.

"I need a favor. Do you have any contact information for the CEO of Johnson & Johnson? I need to speak with him," Neo replied.

"Hm? I do. He once contacted me to buy a gift for his wife. Let me send you his contact information," Isaac said.

"Okay, thanks, Isaac. By the way, the four of us will be going there tonight," Neo added.

"Okay, noted. See you later, bye," Isaac replied.

"Such a busy person! Hahaha, I don't blame him. With the auction happening tonight, he needs to prepare," Neo said to himself.

Not long after, Neo received a message from Isaac with the CEO's contact number. He dialed the number, and after a few seconds, someone answered the call.

"Hello. You don't know me, but I have a formula that can cure cancer. It's already been tested. Are you interested?" Neo said.

"Is this a prank call? I don't have time for this, young man," Joaquin Duato responded.

"I'm not pranking you. Let's do a video call, sir, so we can chat," Neo suggested, clicking the video call button. Soon, he saw the CEO of Johnson & Johnson.

"So, how do you plan to prove it? How can you have something like that at your age?" Joaquin asked.

"Don't worry about that. I only chose your company because you have a good reputation. I asked Isaac for your phone number; do you know him?" Neo explained.

"Isaac? Isaac from Augusta Precious Metals?" Joaquin asked.

"Yes, Isaac. If you don't want this formula, that's fine. I'll contact Pfizer next. Bye," Neo said, ending the call. He knew that this kind of claim was hard to believe, but he didn't have the patience to prove its legitimacy.

Neo searched online for the contact information of the CEO of Pfizer, but he was interrupted by a call from the CEO of Johnson & Johnson.

"What? I don't have time to prove it. It has already been tested, and the person who took the medicine recovered," Neo insisted.

"Why are you so impatient? I need to verify if it's legitimate, of course. This is a formula for a disease that has terrorized humanity for decades now," Joaquin replied.

"Here's the deal. If you can bring a cancer patient to my house today and provide all the necessary lab tests, I'll also have the person who took this medicine come, and you can test her as well," Neo proposed.

"Today? Where are you, anyway? I'm on my way to an auction with my friends. It's a bit of a hassle for me," Joaquin said.

"Are you in LA? If so, great! You can visit my house now. Here's the address; come right away, and don't forget to bring a cancer patient," I said before ending the call. I use these tactics for the CEO to call back. Make it seem impatient and legit by dragging Isaac hahaha
