Chapter 312: Floristan Island
When he saw the federal black gold card, Ye Luo instantly thought of the centurion black gold card of the earth in his previous life, and there was basically not much difference between the two, no, it should be said that the privileges were almost the same.
The only difference is that Earth's Centurion Black Gold Card was launched by American Express, while Aqua Blue's Federal Black Gold Card was launched by Huaxia Bank.
In a sense, the two are equivalent to changing countries.
It is important that the countries that are able to launch such bank cards are undoubtedly well-deserved hegemons!
On Earth it is the United States, and in the water blue star it is China!
……
After having lunch in the fishing grounds, Tessone invited Ye Luo to go with him to the space city branch to check the plane.
Ye Luo wanted to take Scarlett or Xia Xiaofei with them, and after calling separately, Scarlett said that she was taking the girls to pick fruits in the orchard of the farm to eat, and she wouldn't go to see the plane. Xia Xiaofei was reluctant to come because of the things at hand, but Mina and the others had always come, but they just practiced singing obediently under Xia Xiaofei's 'hegemony'.
In this regard, Ye Luo didn't say anything, anyway, he wanted to buy a fixed, winged plane, but he had already selected the model, and this time he chose a helicopter, even if they went together, they couldn't help.
may be because Ye Luo let Lin Kai, who was with her, hear the relationship when he called Xia Xiaofei.
This guy quickly killed Ye Luo from the company without saying a word, and in desperation, Ye Luo could only take Lin Kai and Tai Slong to fly directly to the location of the space city, Flostein Island.
The good thing about private jets is this, it's free, you can fly when you want, unlike civil aviation, which has a fixed time.
Florstein is a city located in northwestern Hawaii, the third largest city in Hawaii, not far from Newfin, not close, about 1,100 kilometers.
Once the economic capital of Hawaii, the city had the largest population and the largest economy.
Although it has lost its position as an economic leader, it is still one of the most important economic centers in Hawaii, where the aviation industry, finance, design, film industry and other industries are particularly high, and there are many large companies.
After arriving in Florstein, Tessone arranged a five-star hotel for Yeluo, which is located on the coast of Telachin, and when you open the window, you can see the beautiful and clean sea, although there is no beach, but the scenery is very pleasant.
Tessone asked Ye Luo if he wanted to rest, and after receiving a negative answer, he drove the two of them to the branch of the Space City.
Buying an airplane is not like buying a car, you can watch it one by one, the plane is too big to occupy space, and the unit price is too high, the space city has its own apron, but there are only less than 20 fixed, wing planes and more than 40 helicopters.
In fact, most aircraft are produced after the customer places an order.
Ye Luo came to the Sky City because they happened to have an existing aircraft of an air tractor CL-930A, and there were a large number of helicopters, so Ye Luo could visit the site.
After arriving at the tarmac, Tessone led Ye Luo and Lin Kai straight to the CL-930A, the price of this aircraft is 7 million, and it can be modified. On the way, he introduced Ye Luo: "One of your companies in Huaxia has just purchased ten of these aircraft, which are CL-910C
, mainly responsible for a series of rescue work such as forest firefighting, with a total price of 63 million. ”
Ye Luo smacked his tongue and asked, "Even if it is converted into a firefighter, the price will increase so much?"
You must know that the average CL-910C bare machine is about 4 million, and the price after the transformation is 6.3 million, which is not expensive.
Tessone smiled and explained: "No, no, no, no, it's not true, the CL-910C modified machine is only 5.5 million in Hawaii, but the tariff on selling to China is relatively high, which is why the price is so high." ”
Hearing Tessron say this, Ye Luo immediately understood that in order to protect its independent property rights, Huaxia has raised the tariffs on luxury goods such as cars, planes, and yachts very high, so those imported cars are at most hundreds of thousands or millions of sports cars in China, and they can be sold for millions or even tens of millions in China.
From this point, it is enough to see how high Huaxia's tariffs on these imported things are!
Entering the tarmac, what Ye Luo saw were mighty and divine planes.
Tessone told him: "Most of these planes have already been booked by customers, otherwise we wouldn't dare let them be parked outside. The maintenance cost of the aircraft is too expensive, and it can basically be calculated at the price of 1% of the value of the aircraft per day. ”
Ye Luo's CL-930A is very conspicuous, he saw it from a long distance, its appearance is a rare black in aircraft, the size is slightly larger than CL-910C, but it is not much, the height is about five meters, the length is sixteen or seventeen meters, the wingspan is much wider, at least twenty meters by visual inspection, and it may even be longer!
In front of the CL-930A, Tessone asked him to go up and take a look, and then introduced the correlation coefficient, using a PC9A-78C turboprop engine, which has a full 1500 horsepower, a fast enough cruising degree of 420 kilometers an hour, a full tank can fly 1862 kilometers, can climb 8630 meters, and so on.
In terms of standard configuration, the CL-930A uses a traditional landing gear with two main wheels and a tail wheel.
The aircraft is equipped with IPAIRE-10000 amphibious pontoons, which allow it to land on non-professional runways and even on water.
This was important to Ye Luo, as he didn't have an airfield, and if CL-930A could land on the sea, then he would only need to build a hard runway on the beach.
Of course, this is thanks to the original design intention of the CL-900, which was originally designed to fight forest fires, so in order to get water faster, the plane needs to be able to land directly on the river, and now this is cheaper.
Feeling the majesty and domineering of the air tractor, Ye Luo decided to buy this plane, but to convert it into an agricultural machine that can splash pesticides and seeds, it will require an additional 100,000.
In addition, Tessron was very 'considerate' to help Ye Luo modify another thing, that is, the machine gun mount: "As long as you find a way to buy a civilian version of the M6O or M249, you can hang it and sweep the world." ”
"Can you add a rocket nest or a missile or something?"
"Yes, yes, but we can't get the formalities, and besides, I don't think you can get rockets and missiles. ”
"Haha, just kidding, but it's better to install an infrared autonomous identification radar for me, you know, I use this guy every day to patrol my fishing grounds, the ocean is too big, it's not enough to see it with my eyes. ”
"No problem, add another 300,000, then you can choose the top-of-the-line SS-PD5 civilian autonomous identification radar produced by Boeing, which can work 24 hours a day. ”
Buying an agricultural aircraft is simple, because the model has been selected in advance, and the next step is to buy a cruising helicopter.
Although Ye Luo said that the CL-930A should be installed with a radar for fishing ground cruise, in fact, he generally does not fly this plane, this guy has an empty weight of nearly three tons, which is simply a big killer of oil, and he needs a light, fast and small aircraft.
After understanding the needs and uses of Ye Luo, Tessone said: "Then you can buy a single helicopter, you don't need multiple helicopters, and the price gap between the two sides is very large." ”
A single helicopter is only one rotor wing, and there are naturally multiple helicopters, and the price gap between the two sides is indeed very large, and many single helicopters are below 1 million, such as G3SH-9, AJ-2ENARA and so on.
Multi-helicopters, almost less than five million, or even tens of millions, are almost comparable to the price of more fixed, winged aircraft.
Tessone brought him to a delicate single small helicopter and introduced: "The LATE-01G helicopter is our own aircraft developed in Hawaii, with the same space as the Carlyle-47, the degree is about the same, and the price is only 500,000. ”
"What about the Carlyle-47?" Ye Luo asked, this aircraft is a classic classic among helicopters, comparable to the AK in the gun, it has been born for almost two hundred years and has been selling well.
"Although the Carlyle-47 is classic, the price is much higher, generally around 1 million. ”
"It's well motivated, with a Lycoming motive and a VO-435-A1B6-cylinder engine." ”
For Ye Luo, 1 million is not expensive, but it seems that it is really not cost-effective to buy a helicopter for cruising, after all, the purpose of this aircraft is very simple, and it can be used for a short flight.
"There are many models of the Carlyle-47, in fact there may be hundreds, and the price varies greatly, from 100,000 yuan to 5 million. ”
Tessone saw Ye Luo's hesitant expression, and gave his opinion: "But I really recommend that you don't consider the Carlyle-47, the cheap Carlyle can't even install a radar, the space is small, the motivation is inferior, and it is dangerous to fly in the air." On the contrary, the Hummingbird 360L, Rotway G7OO and the like are good. ”
Introduced, Tessron's phone rang, he answered with a look of surprise on his face, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Ye Luo: "Mr. Ye, we have received a new helicopter, I think you must be interested, CN-480, a civil helicopter developed and produced by your Huaxia AVIC Helicopter Company." ”
As soon as he heard this, Ye Luo suddenly became interested and asked, "Is there a prototype of this aircraft?"
Tessone smiled, "Yes, but you won't see it until the day after tomorrow, so you might as well stay in Frostan for two days and visit here at the same time." Believe me, it was an absolutely right decision, Florstein is a great island city. ”
Ye Luo suppressed his eagerness and agreed to Tesslon's invitation.
He knew a little bit about Flostein.
According to the information he saw on the Internet, Frostan is indeed a great city, and it has been in the top 10 of the United Nations selection of cities to live for humanity for a long time, and has never fallen out of the top 10!
