Usually, people often test drive sedans and sports cars, and Su Mu heard about test driving airplanes for the first time.

Told the other party that he had time now and was waiting for the plane at the San Francisco airport, and the other party told him that he didn't need to take a civil airliner, but only needed to wait for about two and a half hours to send the plane that was currently parked in Seattle.

Su Mu agreed.

Sitting alone on the couch, drinking coffee and reading a book, the bodyguards sat at another table, and when he slowly finished reading three books, and was about to buy the fourth, a Jew in a black suit came by.

Hooked nose, brown hair, tall and thin, with distinctly Jewish features, he had just called Su Mu a few minutes earlier, and when he came to the café, he saw the only Chinese present, and he walked over with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand, and said:

"It's really a coincidence that there are two customers who want to see business jets today, one is Mr. Paul Allen, who lives in Seattle, and the other is Mr. Stephen Wynn from Las Vegas, who has just invested in a Golden Palace casino and needs to purchase two business jets to transport distinguished guests.

Soon after the plane took off, I heard that you plan to buy an lV business jet from our company, so I dared to come over, because Mr. Wynn will have time tomorrow, so we can send you to New York, just to feel the charm of our company's business jet, even if I often fly it, I also think it is a kind of enjoyment. ”

The other party first finished a long paragraph before introducing himself: "Call me Weizmann, Yitzhak Weizmann, sales director of Gulfstream Aerospace." ”

"Hello sir, I just met Mr. Paul Allen the other day, and he decided to buy your company's plane?"

Su Mu raised his hand and invited the other party to sit down and talk, the people who bought private jets were rich people, it was not strange to hear the names of these people, since he became rich, he often came into contact with this circle, or he had already stood in the top circle.

Weizmann sat down and then introduced: "That's right, he has paid the deposit, and then someone will come to ask Mr. Allen's opinion to customize the interior of the aircraft, and you can customize the interior style of the aircraft until you are satisfied, and our company has always respected the opinions of customers."

Recently bought an aircraft also comes with a four-year warranty, if you don't know a great pilot, our company will also help arrange, it is definitely your best choice. ”

Su Mu had done sales, and he knew that this line was not easy, so he beckoned the waiter to bring the menu and asked a very important question: "It seems that your company has a lot of orders?"

"Of course, Gulfstream's products are better than similar business jets on the market, including the four prototypes produced in 1985, a total of 52 IV business jets were produced, and an average of one can be sold in half a month, maybe you don't know our industry, this kind of sales is already very good!"

"That means if I want to buy an airplane, I'm going to have to wait a long time?"

“……”

Mr. Weizmann realized that he had said something stupid, and he didn't keep up with Su Mu's brain circuit, a heavyweight VIP customer introduced by JPMorgan Bank, he never doubted that the young Chinese in front of him would not be able to afford a private jet, and the only problem that needed to be paid attention to now was how to get Su Mu and their company's plane.

Too many orders will inevitably lead to longer waiting times, and many potential customers choose to buy products from other companies because of this, and hurriedly remedy the situation, saying: "This is not certain for the time being, our company's current production capacity is about three planes per month, including Mr. Allen, there are always 37 planes waiting to be produced."

So it's likely to get it within a year, some supercars have a waiting period of up to two to three years, and it is not excluded that someone will cancel the order, and we will definitely arrange for you to ship it first. ”

Buying an airplane is not going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, the waiting time of a year is not long, and compared with other business jet manufacturers, the production capacity of three planes per month is already very fast.

Su Mu was a little anxious, regretting that he didn't place an order first at the beginning of the year, wasting so much time in vain, "The waiting time is too long, your company doesn't have a ready-made plane? It's better to be a little faster, if I'm satisfied, I can buy it today." ”

Weizmann has met many difficult customers, and Sumu is relatively easy to deal with, at least he doesn't need to spend too much money on the introduction of aircraft performance, and directly talks about the delivery problem.

Almost every customer wants to get the aircraft as soon as possible, and Gulfstream Aerospace, as a manufacturer, would like to produce them all in the blink of an eye, but the manufacturing cycle of the aircraft is already long, the order volume is excellent, and the employees have often worked overtime and used the strength to eat milk, which has increased the monthly output to about three.

After listening to it, he replied with a wry smile: "There is no ready-made plane, if I can sell it, how can I keep it, in January, a rich man in France canceled the order, the plane was bought, and no one canceled it after that, the product is good enough, and people like Gulfstream IV." After July, there may be another increase in production capacity, and the delivery time may be compressed into February next year, and I promised that if someone cancels the order, the plane will be delivered to you in advance, but maybe the interior furnishings have been done, is that acceptable?"

Having said that, Su Mu finally gave up, private business jets are more popular than he imagined, and the number of orders waiting for delivery is as high as more than 30, which shows that there is really no shortage of rich people in the world.

"Okay, Mr. Weizmann, I don't have high requirements for the interior, just clean and comfortable, can you take me to New York now?"

"Yes, we'll go now, we've booked the lane, which is also one of the privileges of private jets......"

From beginning to end, the Gulfstream IV is nearly twenty-seven meters, the cabin space is more than thirteen meters, and the height is only one meter eighty-eight.

The space performance exceeds similar products, and the appearance is also very beautiful, in general, Su Mu is quite satisfied, the only unpleasant thing is that the delivery time is too long, and there are only twelve seats in the cabin.

The width of the cabin is about 2.2 meters, and the small bar, tables, toilets, lounges, etc., are scattered in this small space, after all, the area is only about 30 square meters, which is not very spacious, much smaller than he expected, because it is his own plane, it is more comfortable than those ordinary passenger planes.

Nowadays, the Boeing 767-300ER model of large aircraft, the interior space is much better than this aircraft, but unfortunately the price is also "beautiful", as high as about 150 million US dollars, and it will cost at least 160 million US dollars to complete the private jet.

Weizmann opened a bottle of red wine, the beautiful female stewardess helped bring the glass, the bodyguards and Secretary Allen were not polite, they all had found a good place to sit down, he said to Su Mu: "This is a test aircraft model two years ago, because the interior decoration uses the top materials, and it is still the same as new, look at this sofa, how comfortable."

There's no other passengers to disturb you, there's no rigid flight rules, even the smoking room can be installed, it's your private space, it's cool, isn't it?"

Determined to buy a private jet, in fact, Mr. Weizmann didn't need to continue to sell at all, Su Mu nodded, walked from the front to the rear, looked at it up and down, left and right, returned to his original seat and drank red wine, and then asked: "Tell me how much it sells, the space layout, and the color can be customized?"

"Of course, but the price varies slightly depending on the material, so the total cost of such an aircraft is $26.5 million, including a four-year warranty.

Our company will also provide ten times of comprehensive maintenance free of charge, a single price of about 50,000 US dollars, each aircraft is scheduled to be inspected by a dedicated senior engineer is responsible, generally has to go through thousands of processes, covering the fuselage, wings, tail, engines, landing gear and other parts, the aircraft is entrusted to the airline hosting, they will be responsible for each flight route arrangement, as well as post-maintenance and other work, the aircraft is responsible for the vistajet company. ”

It costs money to maintain a car, and it costs even more money to maintain a private jet, Su Mu didn't know anything about this, and he talked with Mr. Weizmann for more than 40 minutes before he figured out how it worked, and it was summed up that there was only one point - as long as he was willing to spend money, he didn't have to worry about anything else......
