Seeing that Chen Geng was not very interested in this Cessna 500, Amy was a little disappointed, she recommended this aircraft to the customer first, because as a jet business jet, among all the aircraft that meet the customer's requirements, the price of this Cessna 500 is higher, but the customer is not satisfied, she can't go against the grain, the more people who do this kind of top rich group business, the more they care about the customer's mood.

"Okay, please come with me...... Although she was a little disappointed, the smile on Amy's face became sweeter and sweeter, and she took Chen Geng and his party to another twin-engine propeller-powered aircraft: "This aircraft was produced by Beechcraft in 1969, the model is King Air 100, and this aircraft has the largest and most comfortable cabin in this price range......"

Beechcraft King Air 100?

Is this plane coming full circle?

The cabin of the King Air 100 is obviously longer than the Cessna 500 just now, and the height is slightly higher, which is indeed the case, seeing that Chen Geng and his party seem to be more interested in this aircraft, Amy perked up and hurriedly introduced: " With a cabin length of 5 meters and a cabin altitude of 1.45 meters, the King Air 100 can fly 2,245 kilometers with 4 passengers or a total of 800 pounds of load at maximum fuel, and 1,100 kilometers with a full load of 8 passengers......

Sitting on the wide and comfortable independent business seat, carefully experiencing the texture of this aircraft, Chen Geng was quite satisfied, except for one ......

"It's good, but the interior of this plane is a bit old, but I want to buy one with a new interior like the Cessna 500 just now, and I can use the plane immediately without renovating the interior," Chen Geng looked at the seat opposite him, which despite his efforts to clean and renovate, the old creases could not be concealed no matter what, and he was not very satisfied.

Think this plane is a little old?

Good thing, Amy is not unhappy, but secretly happy in her heart, the reason for second-hand aircraft is the same as that of second-hand cars, the closer the year, the more expensive the price, she deliberately hesitated for a moment, before saying to Chen Geng: "There is also a Beechcraft King Air 200, the year is quite new, it was factory in 1973, officially put into use in 1974, and it will be less than 5 years until it is full this year, and the condition of the aircraft is very good......"

"It's a little more expensive, isn't it?" said Rosemary as she looked at her with a smile before Amy could finish.

Amy didn't feel embarrassed at all, and nodded generously: "Yes, it costs $480,000." ”

"The price aside, but are you sure that plane can meet our requirements? Are you sure that plane has a one-piece sofa?" Rosemary pointed to the Beechcraft King Air 100 at her feet, "This plane doesn't have one." ”

Amy said confidently: "That King Air 200 is next to it, you can see it with your own eyes." ”

........................

Sure enough, it is different, not only is the interior much newer than the Beechcraft King Air 100 just now, and the interior of the whole machine is completely at the level of "quasi-new machine", and more importantly, there is something that is extremely in line with Chen Geng's requirements: a three-person sofa, after being laid down, it is a small bed with a width of 0.9 meters and a length of 1.9 meters, which is enough for people to sleep comfortably on it.

Seeing that Chen Geng and Rosemary seemed to be quite satisfied with this King Air 200, Amy became more and more energetic and introduced hard: "All the seats of this King Air 200 are made of high-quality Australian sheepskin, and the armrests are made of handmade walnut......

Rosemary interrupted Amy: "But how do I feel that the cabins of this King Air 200 and that King Air 100 are about the same length and size?"

"That's true," Amy nodded, "The King Air 200 uses the cabin of the King Air 100, and the reason why it continues to use the cabin of the King Air 100 is because it is an original of Beechcraft: the square oval cabin.

With Beechcraft's original square oval cabin, the King Air has more head and shoulder room than some of the larger jets, which is incredible, but you've just compared it to the Cessna 500 and you should be able to tell that the King Air 100/200 is superior to the Cessna 500 in terms of width and height. ”

That's right!

Chen Geng thought about it and found that this was really the case, although the cabin width and height of the two aircraft looked similar, but in terms of actual experience, the cabin feeling of the King Air series aircraft was indeed significantly better.

Seeing that the big financier agreed with his statement, Amy was even happier: "But although the King Air 200 uses the same cabin as the King Air 100, it still makes a lot of upgrades, such as improving the cabin structure to increase the maximum boost, specifically when the flight altitude is 10,000 meters, the actual feeling of air pressure by passengers is roughly equivalent to the altitude of 2,100 meters."

In addition, the cabin is quieter than ever before, with a noise level of only 79.8 decibels during endurance flights, which is a unique ......."

After explaining to Chen Geng and his party the improvements and upgrades of the King Air 200 compared to the King of the Air 100, Amy threw out the biggest killer weapon: "The King Air 200 has been replaced with Pratt · Whitney's new PT6A-41 turboprop engine, this engine has a maximum output of 60 kilowatts, and most importantly, this engine is very, very fuel-efficient, in a typical commercial load situation, the fuel cost of this aircraft is about $0.35 per kilometer, only a jet business jet without one-fifth, isn't it very, very fuel-efficient?"

Jet fuel for only $0.35 per kilometer?

Chen Geng is okay, he knows that the fuel cost per kilometer of the Beechcraft Air King B200 that Kindler bought later is about $0.8, considering that it is now 10 years ago, and the most important thing is that the second oil crisis has not yet broken out, although the fuel cost of $0.35 per kilometer is shocking, it is not unacceptable.

But Rosemary was different, she couldn't believe that the fuel cost of such an aircraft was so cheap: "Really?"

The cost of fuel per kilometer is $0.35, and 1,000 kilometers is only $350, which is less than $90 per 1,000 kilometers per person according to the typical four-passenger ride, which is indeed much cheaper than a jet aircraft. Although the fuel cost of an aircraft is only one part of many costs, it has to be admitted that turboprop engines are fuel-efficient.

Amy looked proud: "Of course, otherwise why would Beechcraft's King Air series become the sales champion in the market segment of 'small and medium-sized twin-engine propeller business jets'? ”

Chen Geng looked at Rosemary the same.

Rosemary nodded, "I think it's good." ”

Since Rosemary is fine, there is nothing to say, Chen Geng nodded: "Let's talk about the price, the price is right, I want this plane." ”

"You know, the King Air series are all sought-after items in the market, and $480,000 can't be cheaper......"

"I'm not interested in these," Chen Geng interrupted her unceremoniously, and said domineeringly: "The price is right, I'll buy it today, full amount!"

Full?!

Not only Amy, but Mihir also widened: after selling the plane for so many years, it was the first time they had heard that someone had bought a plane and paid the full price.

........................

In the face of a billionaire who directly threw out half a million smaller, the boss of Miller Aircraft Sales Company almost knelt on the ground, 450,000 US dollars!

This is the final transaction price, and two free maintenance of the whole machine are also given.

Miller wanted to recommend two pilots to Chen Geng, but Chen Geng refused, when he knew that his boss was going to buy an airplane, Statham tentatively told Chen Geng that he had a few retired friends from the Air Force, all of whom were veterans with several years of flying experience in the Vietnam battlefield, and they had no piloting skills, and they also obtained a driving license for civilian fixed-wing aircraft, but now they were unsatisfactory, so they could only open pesticide sprayers for the farm, and asked Chen Geng if he was willing to give them a job.

The pilot base in the United States is too large, the pilots are not very tall existence, counting the pilots who can still fly in World War II, the United States has at least 500,000 pilots in the civilian sector, no matter what it is, it is not worth much, and the pilot, which is an incomparably expensive technical job in China, is also very valuable in China, but it is not very valuable in the United States, compared to being a pilot for a civil aviation company, it is almost the dream of all retired pilots and civil aviation pilots to find a job to drive a private jet for the rich, not to mention the easy job, and the income is much higher than in the military and civil aviation companies。

Statham's face still has to be given, Chen Geng promised to give them a chance, but now......

"Boss, you have a mail from Washington. As soon as she returned to the office, Aniston came with an email: "You said that as long as it is from Washington, it must be given to you as soon as possible." ”

Washington's mail?

Could it be ......

Considering the current point in time, Chen Gengqiang opened the envelope with excitement, and a 12-inch photo on the top caught Chen Geng's eyes, on the photo, a group of Americans in suits and leather shoes and a group of Chinese people in suits and leather shoes were shaking hands, and both Americans and Chinese people were smiling very brightly.

Calculating the time, although it will take some time before the official announcement of the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations, it is possible to complete the core negotiations on the establishment of diplomatic relations now.

Chen Geng's eyes turned red all of a sudden......
