Chapter 535 and the White House to grab a plane

Hearing Susan mention the question of timing, "Well, there's an assembled plane, but ......," Bruce said in embarrassment.

"But what? was it someone else?," Susan asked.

"This plane is prepared for the white workers, and it is all on the news, you should have seen it. ”

Susan smiled coldly: "Then what the hell is going on, we all understand, I'll ask you, did the day worker pay you over there?"

"Uh...... Not yet?"

"Did you say when you would pay?"

"......" Bruce was a little confused about how to answer.

In front of Susan, he is not easy to fool, the plane is indeed prepared for the day worker, but the other party did not pay, which is also true.

As for why there was no payment?

Of course, because Congress has not yet approved the budget......

Susan wants this plane right now!

Now that we know that there are ready-made aircraft, it can save a lot of time, and if you place an order to reassemble it now, it will be normal to drag it for a year or two.

But if it is already assembled, it only needs to do the interior decoration and exterior painting, and it will be much faster, and it is estimated that it will be done in a few months.

As for stealing the plane of the day worker, Susan said that she didn't care at all, the United States is a business society, and whoever has the money has the final say!

I paid for it in a lump sum, and I didn't believe that Bruce would sell it to me.

Sure enough, her guess was right, and although she hesitated, in the end, Bruce agreed to deliver the plane to Susan.

The price of bare metal is 400 million US dollars!

As for the interior decoration, it was handed over to the BMW Design Center, which cooperated with Boeing, and even Susan contacted the Hermès headquarters through Wang Ye's personal relationship and asked them to be the supplier of raw materials for the interior leather of the aircraft.

As we all know, the best leather in the world is in Hermès!

In addition to targeted procurement, Hermès also breeds its own crocodiles......

The interior decoration of the aircraft requires a lot of leather, and since it is to be the most luxurious, of course, Hermes must provide leather.

Fortunately, the relationship between Wang Ye and Hermes has always been very good, and there is a close cooperative relationship between the two.

So the Hermès headquarters happily agreed to Susan's request, and let her choose the leather she needed.

It doesn't matter if you make this promise, this year, Hermès platinum bags are estimated to have significantly reduced the number of factory bags.

Originally, the output of this bag was not large, not only because there were not enough craftsmen to make the bag, but more importantly, the leather used on the bag, in a year, the world produced so much!

And this time, on the private jet that Wang Ye bought newly, he basically had to use most of the top-quality skins, and the order for the platinum bag could only be postponed.

Susan asked for two kinds of leather from Hermès, not to mention lambskin, which is the best and most suitable leather for making seats. Compared with cowhide, it is soft and delicate, and it feels the best.

The other is crocodile skin!

This leather is the most precious, but it is relatively hard, so it is not suitable for seats, but is used to decorate the walls of the cabin.

……

Many people may not know that Hermès' most famous crocodile platinum bag is also divided into grades, with a total of three grades.

Because the leather used is different, the price also varies greatly.

This grade can be seen on the top of the bag, the Hermes platinum bag, on the front of the bag, above the lock, there are three rows of small gold letters.

They are "HERMES", "PARIS", AND "MADE IN FRANCE", which are very simple and can be understood by most people.

However, after the row of letters "MADE IN FRANCE", few people notice that there is a small symbol there.

And this symbol represents the grade of the leather used in this platinum bag.

There are three types of symbols, representing three levels, namely the upward arrow of the first level "∧", and the second level ".. 'Two dot signs, the third level '□' square mouth sign.

The first rank is the Borneo alligator

Porosus is called the bay crocodile and is the largest crocodile species. Porosus is extremely rare on the market. The scales are evenly distributed, with a small dot on each scale, and the highest price is also the rarest!

Why, because the bay crocodile is a naturally aggressive animal, and it will fight each other when it is bred together, and I believe that no one wants to carry a "scarred" platinum bag. So after many years of breeding alone, it is scary to think about this cost.

In addition, the crocodile eggs of the Bay crocodile are taken by Hermes breeders by helicopter to the wild in Australia, and the crocodile eggs are stolen from the crocodile mother's territory, which is simply a platinum bag in exchange for life.

Second grade crocodile:

Nile crocodile

As the name suggests, a group of crocodiles living in the Nile River basin have more square scales than round scales, and the square texture is more neat, and the belly coloring effect is the best compared to other crocodile skins, so the Himalayan crocodile skin platinum bag that girls dream of is made of Nile crocodile skin.

Grade 3 Crocodile:

Chinese and American freshwater crocodile (Alligator Crocodile)

The Alligator is called alligator and is best known for its Mississippi alligator in the Americas. The scales are square in the middle, round on both sides, the contrast is obvious, there is no excessive shape, and the alligator will also be used in small accessories such as alligator leather straps and accessories bracelets. But the gloss is not as good as the first two, and there are no pores.

The parts of the crocodile skin are also particular, just like pork is sold according to different parts.

The belly of the crocodile skin is the most expensive, followed by the ventral skin, followed by the back and tail. But there is almost no backskin in mainstream luxury products. Therefore, the above three types of crocodiles are "open back and belly", retaining rare and expensive belly.

Basically, the skin taken from a crocodile is enough to make a bag, which is why platinum bags are so expensive.

It is conceivable that the interior of this Boeing 747-8 VIP has more than 400 square meters of space, and how much crocodile skin needs to be used on the cabin walls......

You can imagine how high this cost is!

Of course, Wang Ye doesn't care about this money, since he changed the plane this time, it will be in place in one step, and it is estimated that he will not change the plane for at least ten years in the future.

Because it's already the best!

If you want to change it, there is no model to change.

……

An announcement was made on Hermès' official website that caused a stir among its VIP members.

"I would like to inform all members that due to the shortage of crocodile skin used in platinum bags this year, orders for the second half of the year will be postponed, and customers who have placed orders should be patient. ”

This kind of crocodile platinum bag is not a finished product for sale, and it requires a very high-level VIP customer to be eligible to buy it, and it takes a long time to wait after placing an order. Usually, waiting for two or three years is a common thing.

As a result, it is now postponed again.
