It is worth noting that this is not the first time that the two aircraft in this auction have been auctioned. As early as July 2021, these two planes had been auctioned respectively, with starting prices of 115 million and 70.16 million yuan, but both failed in the end.
At 10 a.m. on July 14, 2021, the auction of the Gulfstream G550 aircraft started, with a starting price of 115.23 million yuan and a price increase of 570,000 yuan. However, in addition to more than 6,400 people watching, no one signed up until the end of the auction, and the auction was passed 24 hours later; at 10 am on July 15, 2021, the Gulfstream G450 business jet started auctioning, with a starting price of only 70.16 million yuan, an increase of 350,000 yuan, but in addition to attracting more than 10,000 people to watch, no one signed up, and finally passed the auction.
Two years later, the two Gulfstreams were merged and auctioned together on the Alibaba platform, and the starting price has dropped to a record low of 43.15 million yuan.
Statistics show that Gulfstream’s high-end business jets G550 and G450 are representative of the world’s top long-range business jets. Among them, the Gulfstream G550 is the first ultra-long-range business jet in the history of human flight that can fly directly from New York to Tokyo, with a range of 11,686 kilometers and a maximum cruising altitude of 15,545 meters. The G450 is slightly smaller, capable of carrying 12-16 passengers.

The auction also aroused heated discussions among netizens. The well-known aviation blogger “@航空车马宏” posted on Weibo that in the middle of this month, three of their maintenance colleagues had conducted detailed inspections of the two aircraft at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport. Although the aircraft has been grounded for four years without maintenance, the condition of the two aircraft is much better than they expected, especially the condition of the Gulfstream G550 is excellent, and the condition of the Gulfstream G450 is slightly worse.
What is the history of the two Gulfstreams?Behind is the former richest man in Gansu
It is worth mentioning that the bidding instructions on the auction page reminded that the two aircrafts were grounded in March 2019, and no maintenance was carried out during the grounding period. Both station licenses have expired and no professional testing has been done since the grounding.
Some people in the industry believe that for auction items such as aircraft, considering the early application and later maintenance, certification and other issues, ordinary individuals or companies rarely participate, and the various processes are too complicated.

Behind the auction of 500 million luxury business jets is related to Que Wenbin, the former richest man in Gansu.
The two Gulfstreams in this auction originally belonged to Scribe Airlines. According to Tianyan Check, Zongheng Airlines was established in 2011 with a registered capital of 350 million yuan. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sichuan Hengkang Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Hengkang Development”). The major shareholder of Hengkang Development is Que Wenbin, who holds 99.95% of the shares, which means that Que Wenbin is the person in power behind Zongheng Airlines.
According to public information, Que Wenbin made his fortune with the traditional Tibetan medicine “Douyiwei” and established Gansu Duyiwei Company to produce Duyiwei capsules, a Chinese patent medicine for hemostasis and analgesia. It landed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2008, and later changed its name to Hengkang Medical, known as “the first private hospital”. In 2009, the Hurun Report showed that Que Wenbin ranked 200th on the list with a wealth of 4.8 billion yuan, and became the richest man in Gansu Province at the same time. By 2015, Que Wenbin’s net worth once reached 20 billion yuan.
In addition to the main business of medicine, Que Wenbin has successively set foot in industries such as mining, real estate, aviation and new energy vehicles through a series of capital operations, and Zongheng Aviation is one of them. However, at the beginning of 2016, Que Wenbin was investigated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission for allegedly violating securities laws and regulations. Since then, a huge debt crisis has erupted.
In 2018, Hengkang Medical suddenly suffered a large loss, with a net profit loss of 1.418 billion yuan attributable to the parent company, a year-on-year decrease of 799.09%, which was the first substantial loss since listing. From 2017 to 2019, Hengkang Medical’s debts for three consecutive years were as high as 5.906 billion yuan, 5.901 billion yuan and 4.7 billion yuan respectively.
Hengkang Medical stock was auctioned
On July 8, 2021, the Intermediate People’s Court of Longnan City, Gansu Province ruled to accept the applicant’s application for reorganization of the respondent Hengkang Medical Group Co., Ltd. At the same time, the Intermediate People’s Court of Changchun City, Jilin Province also conducted a public auction of the 98.87 million shares of Hengkang Medical Group Co., Ltd. held by Que Wenbin in the same year, but the auction ultimately failed.
