On December 11, Li Guangyu went to Seattle, where the headquarters of Boeing is located, this time he went to Boeing to buy a plane to use as his own special plane, and now with more and more groups, he has to go to all over the world every year, and it is much more convenient to have his own special plane, which is also safer.

After learning that Li Guangyu needed to buy a special plane, the three major aircraft companies of the United States, Boeing and Gulfstream, and Canada's Bombardier, all talked to Zhang Ziyu, an assistant at the time, and invited Li Guangyu to visit their company. The reason why Li Guangyu chose Boeing is because Boeing's range is long enough, and the Boeing 747-200 goes directly from Los Angeles to Xiangjiang without stopping in Hawaii to refuel on the way.

When Mr. Lee arrived at Seattle, Boeing President Stiem Cole had been waiting here for a long time.

After Lee Guangyu got off the plane, Stiem Cole greeted him and said, "Mr. Li, welcome to you, I am Stiem Cole, President of Boeing. ”

Li Guangyu responded with a smile: "Mr. Cole, thank you for being able to come to the airport to greet you, you Boeing are so enthusiastic." ”

"Mr. Li was able to visit our Boeing company, which is a sign of trust in our Boeing, and we naturally want to do a good job of hosting you," said Stiem Cole.

This time, Boeing received Li Guangyu so solemnly, but also hoped to use Li Guangyu's influence to open up the Asian private jet market, at present, in the Asian region, this market is mainly controlled by Gulfstream and Bombardier, Boeing has no market in the field of Asian private jets. 35xs

Li Guangyu and the others got into the vehicle sent by Stiem Cole to greet them and went to Boeing's headquarters in Seattle.

In the car, Stiem Cole said: "Mr. Li, our Boeing 747-200 is also an aircraft that has come out in the past few years, and all kinds of designs are very advanced, and none of the aircraft sold in the past two years have had problems. Your Cathay Pacific Airways in Hong Kong also has our type of aircraft, and I think Li Sheng should have also flown it. We can modify it for you on this basis, and the interior will be more comfortable and suitable for your ride. ”

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Cole, since I chose to visit your Boeing as the first stop, I also hope to be able to buy it from you. After all, your Boeing 747-200 has enough space, even after the modification, my travelers will have no problem taking it. At the same time, I am also more optimistic about your voyage, because of the business relationship, I will often go from Xiangjiang to the United States, or from Xiangjiang to England, and you still have a great advantage in this regard. ”

Boeing developed this type of aircraft at that time, which was to increase the maximum flight weight, increase the fuel capacity, increase the range, and serve the long-range airlines, which can also meet the needs of wealthy people like Li Guangyu who need to run around the world.

He also knew what Li Guangyu was worried about, mainly because Boeing was not as famous as Gulfstream and Bombardier in private jets, and it was not as good as the other two in terms of interior modification and layout, as well as comfort, so Li Guangyu did not place an order immediately.

"Mr. Li, in order to be able to occupy the private jet market, our company specially recruited their cabin interior designer from Gulfstream, and through his design layout, you can make it more comfortable to fly on such a special plane," said Stiem Cole. ”

Stiem doesn't want to let go of Lee Guangyu's order this time, he is a living advertisement, with his Boeing products bo, in Southeast Asia and Xiangjiang, Lisboa, Treasure Island, and even Japan, their Boeing products may be considered.

After coming to Boeing's headquarters, Stiem Cole introduced Li Guangyu to the interior decoration designer of Boeing, and Li Guangyu could tell him any requirements for the interior decoration layout, and he would design it according to Li Guangyu's requirements.

After Li Guangyu visited the Boeing headquarters, Stiem Cole personally led Li Guangyu and others to the Boeing aircraft manufacturing base to see an aircraft that was about to be delivered after the completion of the production of a Boeing 747-200.

Li Guangyu was still shocked when he entered the manufacturing base and looked at the planes parked and the planes being assembled in the workshop, these companies are the embodiment of a country's strength. Even if many companies have a much higher market value than Boeing, there are really not many companies that can compare to Boeing in terms of its impact on the United States.

After reading it, Li Guangyu said to Stiem Cole: "Mr. Cole, I think I feel the strength of your Boeing, and it is a good choice for my special plane to be manufactured by your Boeing, we can return to your headquarters first, and then talk about the following things." ”

Hearing that Li Guangyu was willing to talk about the purchase, Stiem Cole immediately smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Li, we will return to the headquarters now, you can rest assured, our Boeing company must be very fair to your price, so that you feel that it is worth the money." ”

In Stim Cole's office, Li Guangyu and Boeing's designers described his requirements in detail, and asked Gan Qin's opinion on some things, and Boeing's designers continued to sketch on the drawings according to the requirements put forward by Li Guangyu and Gan Qin.

Seeing that the preliminary design of the interior was still not finalized at noon, Stiem Cole said: "Mr. Li, I think everyone can take a break, and after lunch, we will continue to discuss." ”

Li Guangyu said: "Okay, Mr. Kull, thank you for your hard work, probably these are the problems, and we will confirm some in the afternoon." ”

Rory Kuhl said: "Mr. Li, it is my job to serve you, nothing hard, we will continue in the afternoon, we will definitely satisfy you." ”

In the afternoon, Li Guangyu didn't give much advice himself, but in terms of decoration, Ganqin asked a lot of questions, what color should be used, how to adjust the position of many layouts, Ganqin was carefully discussed by Rory Curle.

After the various issues were determined, the price negotiation began, which Li Guangyu was not good at, and left it to Gan Qin to deal with.

Stiem Cole said: "Mr. Li, you really hired a great assistant, and you don't want us to make any profit." ”

Gan Qin said: "Mr. Cole, you have to consider our Li Sheng's influence in Asia, this is advertising for you Boeing." If you think about the huge market in Asia, we don't give you money on advertising, you can't go too far, and I think Gulfstream and Bombardier are very welcome to buy from them. ”

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Cole, you know that I have many groups, and I will definitely equip each group with special planes in the future, if this cooperation is pleasant, our group will cooperate with you in this business in the future, and I also have plans to enter the airline in the future." ”

Stiem Cole was just complaining, this was to let Li Guangyu remember Boeing's favor, but he didn't expect this unexpected joy. Li Guangyu has so many groups, not to mention about ten aircraft, if the Li Group establishes an airline, it will definitely not make a small fuss, at least dozens of planes, this is this big order.

Stiem Cole said: "Mr. Lee, we only charge you $45 million at cost this time, which is definitely our cost price. ”

Li Guangyu also knew that the price of Boeing was very good if it did not lose money, and Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Cole, then thank you, the deposit will be credited to your company's account later." ”
