Chapter 1219: Get Me Two!
Elena did not refuse again this time, and watched back and forth on the Boeing 747-200 and Boeing 747-300 with joy.
In terms of introduction, the Boeing 747-300 is obviously improved, but it has not yet been tested by the market, so there are uncertainties.
Unlike the Boeing 747-200, which has been considered by the market for many years, its performance is very stable and excellent.
Seeing that Elena couldn't make a decision for a long time, Xia Yu said to Rudolph Martin: "President Martin, please introduce the difference between these two models carefully for us." ”
"Okay!"
Rudolf Martin immediately responded.
Then without thinking, he recounted the information that he knew by heart: "Mr. Xia, Ms. Elena, let me first introduce you to the parameters of the Boeing 747-200 aircraft. ”
"The four engines of the aircraft are all made by Rolls Brown. Royce 211 model, fuselage length 68.6 meters, wing length 6.5 meters, height 7.82 meters, cabin length 57 meters, cabin width 6.1 meters, cabin height 2.54 meters, baggage compartment 175 cubic meters, aircraft horsepower is 236KN, take-off distance is 3875 meters, landing distance 2093 meters, practical ceiling is 13746 meters, maximum take-off load is 377.8 tons, maximum landing weight is 285.7 tons, empty body weight 17.06 tons. ”
"In terms of speed, the maximum cruising speed is 982 kilometers per hour, the normal cruising speed is 875 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 12,700 kilometers. ”
"The price of this aircraft is 35 million dollars bare-metal!"
"For the 747-300 model, some parameters have been adjusted to a certain extent, but the parameters of the fuselage have not changed. ”
"The performance of the Rolls-Royce 211 turbo engine has been optimized, so in terms of power, it has been increased from 236KN to 240KN. ”
"The take-off distance of the aircraft has dropped by more than 200 meters, from 3,875 meters to 3,650 meters, while the landing distance and practical ceiling remain unchanged. ”
"In terms of weight, the maximum take-off weight remains the same, but the maximum landing weight has been reduced from 285.7 tons to 260.32 tons, and the empty weight has increased from 170.06 tons to 174.82 tons. ”
"Although the weight has increased, the fuel utilization rate is higher, and the cruising speed of the rental shop and the normal cruising speed have not changed, and the range has only been reduced by 300 kilometers. ”
"Mr. Xia, although we only obtained the FAA type certificate in March, we don't have to worry about other problems with this aircraft. ”
"The Boeing 747-300 is only optimized on the basis of the Boeing 747-200, so it is more high-tech and has better performance. ”
"As for the price, it is slightly higher than the Boeing 747-200, which is 37 million dollars. ”
"We are currently nearing completion of a Boeing 747-300 and several more aircraft are being built......
Rudolph Martin obviously wanted to promote the Boeing 747-300 model, but Xia Yu just smiled and watched, and did not express his opinion easily.
He also understood the intentions of Rudolph Martin and the Boeing company behind him, which was nothing more than to successfully promote the Boeing 747-300 model to him, once he used this aircraft to build a top-of-the-line private jet, then it would be the best marketing advertisement for Boeing, and the benefits were self-evident!
Xia Yu also knows that because of the negative impact of the oil crisis in the past two years, airlines around the world are struggling to operate, and most of them are in the red, so it is difficult to purchase new aircraft for expansion.
As a result, Boeing's planes could not be sold, and its revenue was very low, so Boeing was eager to open up the situation and refused to let go of any opportunity.
That's right!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu's heart moved and he wrote down his inspiration.
After Rudolph Martin finished speaking, Xia Yu looked at Elena and asked gently, "Elena, which model do you think is better?"
Elena pursed her lips and thought for a moment, and said softly to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, I choose Boeing 747-300, I have also heard that Rolls-Royce's 211 engine has been optimized to a certain extent, and the performance is still great." ”
Of course, Xia Yu had no opinion, he smiled back at Elena, and then said to Rudolph Martin: "President Martin, just choose Boeing 747-300, I need two planes!"
When Rudolph Martin heard this, his eyes lit up and his mouth opened uncontrollably.
When the president of Cathay Pacific Airways contacted them before, he just said that the boss Xia Yu wanted to buy a private jet, and they always thought it was just one, but they didn't expect Xia Yu to throw out an order for two planes so quickly!
It was an unexpected surprise!
You must know that because of the oil crisis, Boeing's total annual orders last year were only 20 Boeing 747 aircraft!
And it's also the sales of several models that include the Boeing family!
Now Xia Yu has two directly, what a surprise, what an accident!
"Mr. Xia, this is really a surprise, you are the most angry rich man I have ever met!"
"You are also the top VIP of our company, please allow me to offer my most sincere admiration!"
Rudolph Martin did not hesitate to praise and praise, and his attitude was very low to show his respect for Xia Yu.
Even after doing so, Rodolfo Martin felt that it was not enough, and he suddenly stood up and bowed to Xia Yu.
The team that followed him also stood up, each smiling, bowing to Xia Yu and offering words of praise.
"Mr. Xia, thank you for recognizing our Boeing!"
Although he knew that they were doing it for their own money, Rudolph Martin and others were willing to do this kind of face-saving work, which really made Xia Yu happy!
He smiled lightly and said:
"President Martin, what are the different types of modification plans you have, and what are the characteristics of each?"
Rudolph Martin immediately took a stack of documents from his assistant and replied with a smile: "Mr. Xia, regarding the transformation and decoration of the Boeing 747-300 aircraft, we have designed a total of five scheme templates, namely SSS, SS, S, A, and B, among which the SSS-level scheme is the top scheme. ”
As soon as Rudolph Martin finished speaking, Xia Yu said directly: "You only need to talk about SSS and the plan." ”
Xia Yu's arrogance made Rudolph's smile brighter and brighter.
He took out the top plan from the document, handed it to Xia Yu with both hands, and then said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, next I will be my assistant and chief engineer of our aircraft transformation department, Chandler Jason, to introduce you and your lover in detail about the transformation design of the SSS plan. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a white man with a hooked nose who was wearing thick glasses and gray hair was sitting next to him nodded to Xia Yu and Elena, and then began to introduce the transformation plan of the SSS plan to Xia Yu.
"Mr. Xia, Ms. Elena, the SSS solution you are holding in your hand is a unique solution template that we have carefully designed, after I introduced it, if you are not satisfied, or have any ideas of your own, you can tell me that your needs are our pursuit. ”
"If you look at the first page, the interior of the fuselage has been remodeled and is divided into five areas, namely a luxurious bedroom, a beautiful kitchen, and an office ......"
"There is also a special wine storage area in the kitchen, where you can store red wine, and each position is fixed with the finest oak wood, which is wrapped in the finest merino wool from Australia, which can ensure that the impact of the plane taking off and landing will not make the wine shake and fall......"
“......”
As Chandler Jason continued to narrate, Xia Yu and Elena nodded from time to time, which encouraged Rudolph Martin, who had been observing Xia Yu and Elena, especially Elena's nod, which greatly increased his confidence.
After all, Boeing thought that Xia Yu wanted to buy a private jet at first, but he didn't expect Xia Yu to buy two planes, one was obviously his own, and the other was given to Elena.
So this sudden accident disrupted their plans.
It's just that he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he has always remained calm and calm, and he has not revealed it.
To be honest, Boeing has made a lot of templates for the transformation of private jets, and this one is the top.
Before visiting Xia Yu, Rudolph Martin and others combined Xia Yu's Chinese identity to make some adjustments to the top transformation plan, and only made a top plan.
There are renovation plans for women, but they are not at the same level as this one, so Rudolph Martin didn't dare to come up with them at all!
But fortunately, Elena is also very interested in this renovation plan with a clear Chinese style!
The latest chapters of this book will be updated on the app first, please visit Download to continue reading ad-free for free.
If you want to use words to describe this renovation plan.
"High-end atmosphere, high-grade, low-key luxury and connotation" these fourteen are the most suitable.
But think about it, this top-level renovation plan, all the layout and interior in it, are all made of the world's top materials, even if it is just a dish in the kitchen, it is also the top-notch.
It's all made with money!
However, this transformation plan, although it is very money-burning, is not as cheesy as the group of nouveau riche in the Middle East, and for Xia Yu, he is very satisfied with most places.
“...... Mr. Xia, what do you think of this renovation plan?"
In about fifteen minutes, Chandler Jason finished introducing all the transformation plans, and looked at Xia Yu and Elena expectantly after the end.
Rudolph Martin immediately added carefully: "Mr. Xia, Ms. Elena, if you are not satisfied with something, please be sure to bring it up, and we will definitely do our best to serve you until you make a plan you like!"
Xia Yu smiled back at Rudolph Martin, then turned his head to look at Elena, and said softly: "Elena, what do you think? ”
With a smile in her eyes, Elena tapped her head and said softly, "Hmm!"
Then she looked at Chandler Jason again, and her voice was like the tinkling of spring water, very pleasant: "Mr. Jason, I am quite satisfied with the plan you introduced, and I can see that you have used a lot of energy. ”
"But because of my personal habits and wailing, there are some places that I hope can be transformed into what I like. ”
"Of course it's fine, please command!"
Chandler Jason nodded without hesitation.
The few people next to him all took out paper and pens, waiting for Elena to make a request to write it down.
"Mr. Jason, like this bedroom, I would like to be able to change the color of the style, the room in my home is ......"
Considering the difficulty of Chandler Jason and others' records, Elena spoke very slowly, stopping from time to time to think, or discussing intimately with Xia Yu.
Not daring to ask for any of them, Chandler Jason and others all patiently and meticulously recorded them, and used the fragmented time to conduct rough price calculations.
They are specially selected elites by Boeing, and they are all proficient in aircraft modification, and they also know the world's top price levels of various materials.
They were selected to form a team in order to be able to complete Xia Yu's requirements quickly and well, and to avoid annoying Xia Yu and others as much as possible.
It can be said that for Xia Yu's order, Boeing has used all its strength!
Xia Yu can also see their attitude, so his impression of Rudolph Martin and others is getting better and better.
However, an aircraft transformation plan involves a lot of aspects, and the content to be discussed is naturally very complicated, and it consumes a lot of time.
In order to save time, Xia Yu invited them to stay at his home to eat, and he specially ordered the chef to cook a sumptuous Chinese meal, which won unanimous praise from Rudolph Martin and others.
After lunch, the group continued to discuss.
It wasn't until around five o'clock in the afternoon that the style and style of the two private jets were decided again, but the final price had not yet been released.
But there is no need for Xia Yu to do the bargaining.
"President Martin, our requirements have been made clear to you, just follow the plan we said to renovate, as for the specific price, after you calculate clearly, Cathay Pacific will send someone to talk to you. ”
Xia Yu said to Rudolph Martin with a smile.
"Okay, I understand!"
"Mr. Xia, after we go back, we will immediately make a complete renovation plan according to the requirements of you and your lover, and we will send someone to you as soon as possible, and we will immediately carry out the transformation after you confirm that it is correct. ”
Rudolf Martin said quickly.
"Yes. ”
"By the way, there's one more question. ”
"Once the plan is finalized, how long will it take for these two aircraft to be delivered?"
Xia Yu bowed slightly, thought for a moment and then asked a question.
Rudolph Martin smiled and said: "Mr. Xia, you don't have to worry about this, our company's Renton factory outside Seattle is the world's top and most productive aircraft factory, with a complete aircraft production line and sufficient engineers. ”
"When we built the Boeing 737 at that factory, we set a world record, and it took only nine days to build it from scratch and make it ready for test flights!"
"We don't have just one aircraft production line, so we can produce two aircraft at the same time and put your order first!"
"So as long as you confirm it, plus the time of the modification, we will only need to spend a month!"
At the end, Rodolfo Martin proudly raised an index finger to signify a month.
Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said, "This is very efficient. ”
However, he immediately became serious, and said: "But I don't want you to deliberately pursue efficiency, the quality of the plane is the most important, I only care about safety!"
Rudolfo Martin hurriedly assured: "Mr. Xia, please rest assured that our company has always put product quality first, and the safety of passengers is our long-term pursuit. ”
Xia Yu's face was relieved, and he laughed: "Your company has a lot of pursuits. ”
Rudolph Martin was not embarrassed in the slightest and laughed.
"Mr. Xia, it's a little late, I'm really sorry to disturb you and your lover for so long. ”
"We'll go first, and when the plan is made, we'll bother you!"
"Okay!"
......
After sending Rudolph Martin and the others away, Xia Yu closed the door.
There was no one else in the house.
Elena couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself directly into Xia Yu's arms, expressing her love for Xia Yu with her actions.
Xia Yu couldn't bear it, picked up Elena, and went upstairs to the bedroom.
For a time, the sky thundered and the earth was on fire......
