Chapter 995 - Test flight of sightseeing plane

Xu Ran values William Yang and his team's ability to design and assemble aircraft.

As for whether this YBO company has the ability to produce and process aircraft accessories, he feels that he already has this kind of strength is enough.

The investment in YBO has also been arranged for a long time, and at this stage, Xu Ran does not plan to interfere in the current operation model of YBO Company, relatively speaking, he will inject some resources into them, and William Yang will play it.

As long as William Yang can lead YBO to develop for a few years, their strength in aircraft design and assembly will reach a higher level of accumulation, Xu Ran will let them devote themselves to the design and development stage of spacecraft.

He believes that with the enthusiasm of this team, this challenge will take them to the next level.

After Xu Ran visited the assembly and testing of the sightseeing plane, William Yang invited Xu Ran to the flying club to play, also intending to let Xu Ran see their situation in the training of aircraft pilots.

The kind of aircraft pilot training service carried out by YBO does not belong to the scope of pilot training, after all, they simply do not have the strength and conditions to do the business of training pilots, but they also do the business of pilot training.

What they are currently doing is the equivalent of an intermediary service for pilot training at their own expense.

According to William Yang, the main reason for this intermediary service is that two of his classmates and two teachers are teachers of a commercially operated flight school in the United States, and they will have several recommended places for pilot training every year.

After William Yang got in touch with them, after obtaining these recommended places, he would recruit people who were interested in becoming pilots in China to sign up for the election.

At first, William Yang thought that this kind of business might only be interested in signing up for those rich children or rich people in China, after all, if the pilot training is all self-funded, it will cost millions of dollars.

But I didn't expect that some middle-class families were also very enthusiastic, and they just put out a few promotional advertisements, and the number of people who signed up exceeded their imagination.

Until now, they will only let those self-financed students who have passed the registration conditions wait because the recommended places in their hands are not enough, and they are also actively negotiating with the training schools in the United States, hoping to get more enrollment places.

In fact, some families of self-financed students who have passed the enrollment conditions cannot afford to pay millions at a time.

But William Yang is flexible, they will sign a contract with these families in the name of the flying club, they will work with the bank to pay part of the training cost of self-paid flying, and then the family will pay in monthly instalments in the form of low-interest loans.

After the pilot graduates, the club will also help them recommend the airline according to the results of their flight training, and if the family still does not pay the training fee, then the pilot will also be repaid with salary income, which is a mutually beneficial thing for both parties.

However, Xu Ran listened to their business situation, but he was not very in favor of this business being carried out by YBO Company.

After all, the cooperation in this situation is all maintained by William Yang's personal connections with his classmates and teachers in the United States, and there is no direct cooperation between them and that flight school, which is extremely unstable.

Once their enrollment is cancelled or delayed, will the customers who have been excluded from waiting still buy their accounts, which will create a trust crisis between the company and the customer.

Therefore, Xu Ran is very optimistic about this model when it is put into YBO as an operating business.

So when he arrived at the club, after William Yang introduced him, Xu Ran directly proposed that this kind of business be separated from the regular business of YBO and let the flying club do it.

William Yang thought about it, and he felt that Xu Ran's proposal was very pertinent, so he agreed.

Now that YBO has received a capital injection and has the money to develop, there is no need to engage in this volatile gray business income to maintain operations, and once there is a crisis of confidence, it will have a very serious impact on the reputation of YBO.

After arriving at the club, William Yang introduced that there are currently 46 members of this flying club, including some pilots with good relationships, several executives of airlines, some students who have signed up for training and study, and some people who are waiting in line for places.

William Yang is one of the five vice presidents of this club, and there is also a president and an honorary president above them, although they are all fictitious titles, but they have substantial interests, and to put it bluntly, they are the second-generation children of real power figures in some institutions.

Today, Xu Ran decided to inspect YBO Company temporarily, and after he and William Yang came to the club, there were not many people there, and it seemed a little deserted.

There are only two or three second-generation generations who have time to come here to play today, and they also want to test drive the sightseeing plane to have a good time.

The second generation were very surprised to see that William Yang had led Xu Ran to the club.

In the brief introduction, several second-generation generations are very respectful to Xu Ran, and there is also a bit of flattery in their words.

After all, the shadow of the famous tree, now Xu Ran's influence and popularity in China can be said to be well known, and several second generations of Liaocheng can be fortunate to meet and chat a few words and take a group photo, which is enough for them to go back and pretend to be with their friends for a year.

There were few people in the club, and William Yang asked Xu Ran if he was interested in driving a sightseeing plane to play, but Xu Ran was a little tempted.

However, Duan Yilei was not ambiguous, and rejected this dangerous behavior on the spot, Xu Ran gave up, and simply let Luo Jiuwa be the driver, and he would experience YBO's sightseeing plane as a passenger.

Duan Yilei agreed with this plan, so William Yang personally arranged a sightseeing plane that had been newly assembled and tested for flight testing and debugging and maintenance, and invited Xu Ran to be the co-pilot after getting on the plane.

After getting on the sightseeing plane, the two second generations also wanted to be passengers, but they were stopped by Duan Yilei, they wanted to ensure the absolute safety of the boss, and no one else would never let them ride with Xu Ran.

Xu Ran got on the sightseeing plane and observed, the space in the cabin is more spacious than the SUV car, the field of vision is also relatively broad, the position of the belly almost looks translucent, and the floor under the foot can see the scenery below, and at the same time turn your head sideways to look at the side, the field of view is also very good, it is indeed suitable for sightseeing or taking pictures.

Luo Jiuwa learned in detail about the flight and operation parameters of the sightseeing plane in the pilot's seat, and after William Yang helped him explain, Luo Jiuwa was able to get started quickly, and he didn't let Xu Ran take a seat, he took a test flight by himself.

After all, Luo Jiuwa's real military transport plane can be driven, not to mention this kind of easy-to-operate sightseeing plane, which is almost half-foolish, and just the flight time will beat the senior members here.

After getting acquainted with it, Luo Jiuwa carried out the operation and quickly took off and landed smoothly.

At present, this sightseeing aircraft is a second-generation light aircraft designed by YBO company, the flight time is not long, and the altitude is also limited, Luo Jiuwa piloted the flight carrying Xu Ran around the suburbs of Liaocheng for most of the circle, and then flew back and landed.
