After contacting Boeing's headquarters directly through the headquarters and getting a firm reply that she could place an order, Susan boarded a recent flight to Boeing's headquarters in Chicago.

……

Boeing Headquarters, Private Jet Sales Division, Superintendent Bruce.

With a smile on his face, he put down the phone in his hand, which was just called by an executive from Citibank's private banking division.

On the phone, the other party consulted about Boeing's new top-of-the-line private jet and said that some customers were interested in the aircraft.

Of course, Bruce is very happy, and the company's new model may be because the fuselage is too big, the price is too expensive, and the maintenance cost is too high...... and so on. Until now, not a single customer has ordered it.

Including the so-called replacement of the current Air Force One reported in the news media, this is actually a smoke bomb released by Boeing.

The White House didn't pay the fee at all, and there was no deposit, so how could it be considered an order.

In order to sell one of these planes, Bruce also tried his best.

Now that a customer has taken the initiative to say that he wants to order one, how can he be unhappy, so he immediately said that there is no problem, and Citi's customers are welcome to visit the headquarters at any time!

……

When Susan arrived at Boeing's headquarters, she was personally received by Bruce.

Bruce was not surprised to see that Susan was just a beautiful girl in her twenties, although this was just a small clerk of Citibank, but the people behind her came from an extraordinary background!

Susan came this time on behalf of her client Wang Ye.

Bruce knows a lot about the world's richest people because it's part of his job.

As a private jet seller, if he doesn't even know which top rich people in the world are, then obviously, he is definitely incompetent.

Originally, Bruce had not yet regarded Wang Ye as his potential customer, and he ranked relatively low on his client list.

This is not to say that Bruce looks down on Wang Ye or that Wang Ye cannot afford the Boeing 747-8 VIP.

It's not long before Wang Ye bought a private jet, and the Gulfstream G550 under his name was bought last year, so how much time has it been, and it shouldn't be changed so quickly.

Therefore, he did not regard Wang Ye as his important target customer.

Who knows, those important target customers in his list did not show their interest in the Boeing 747-8 VIP, but Wang Ye directly sent his own personal financial advisor over!

What that means, Bruce knows perfectly.

The representatives are here, that is to say, as long as there is no major problem with the plane, or there is nothing dissatisfied with the service on their side, then the order is stable!

As for the price, Bruce doesn't think it's a problem.

Because of such a thing as an airplane, the price is also very open and transparent, and to be honest, there is not much room for price reduction.

Of course, he won't open his mouth and ask for the price.

What is really a waste of time in the negotiation may be about the decoration of the aircraft, some auxiliary configurations, the raw materials used in the furniture, the color matching, etc......

……

Bruce took Susan to see a prototype of the Boeing 747-8 VIP.

At her first glimpse of the Boeing 747-8 VIP, Susan couldn't help but let out an amazement.

This plane is too big!

It's almost time to catch up with the Airbus A380 she flew in!

What's more, the plane doesn't look clumsy at all, with a slightly pointed nose and a graceful fuselage, it looks a bit like the kind of space shuttle in a science fiction movie, which is pleasing to the eye.

But there was one thing Susan didn't understand, and that was that the plane looked too rudimentary, and there was no paint on it......

"This plane...... Why does it look so shabby?" asked Susan without being ambiguous.

Just kidding, something worth hundreds of millions of dollars, of course, you have to get a satisfactory answer to any questions, how can you be vague.

"Oh, you're looking at it just assembled, and in the aircraft industry, we call it a 'green suit', which is a completely 'bare machine'. It is not painted, it does not have any equipment installed, it is a flying machine at best.

Before making the journey through the clouds, the purchaser will have to negotiate with several of our design centers, including BMW's American Design Team Studio and renowned Italian design consultancy Guigaro Design, to finalize the interior and exterior design of the aircraft.

The aircraft will then arrive at your chosen completion center, where the VIP equipment will be installed one by one. It is only after all the work is done that the owners finally start enjoying their palace in the sky. ”

Bruce expertly explains that buying an airplane is not the same as buying a car, not that what you see is the final product.

Of course, in the automotive industry, real luxury cars also need to be customized, and manufacturers also provide personalized configurations.

Needless to say, in addition to the fuselage and engine, all the configuration facilities inside, including the space design, including the paint coating on the outside of the fuselage, can be completely decided by the owner, and you can make it whatever you want!

What's more, the design space of this aircraft is still large, and there are more than 450 square meters of space in the fuselage, even if Wang Ye asks the design center to build a luxury house, it is not impossible.

Just look at Prince Alwaleed's plane, which has a garage and a bath!

"Oh, how much does bare metal cost?" asked Susan.

"Only four hundred million dollars!" Bruce replied quickly, then glanced at Susan.

The price is indeed a bit high......

Bruce also knows in his heart, the factory price of the bare metal is 400 million US dollars, plus the later assembly, there is basically no 500 million US dollars that cannot be landed...... No, it should be said that it can't go to heaven!

This is also the reason why the new model has been launched for so long and not a single one has been sold.

Seriously, 500 million dollars, no matter how rich people are, they have to be measured.

Besides, many of the top rich people already have their own private jets, and it may not be worth spending a lot of money on a new one, and most people may not feel that it is too worthwhile.

Susan nodded slightly, she already knew the price, and Wang Ye had already authorized it to her, as long as the price was not too outrageous, Susan could place an order directly on the spot.

"If I place an order now, will I have to wait a long time?"

This is Susan, and it is also a concern of Wang Ye.

If you place an order now, but there is no ready-made aircraft, and you need to start working again, then it is normal to wait for a year or two.

But for such a long time, Wang Ye didn't have the patience to wait.
