Chapter 428: Two Planes

When Boeing President James said that the price of the plane was $60 million, Zheng Xudong answered the question and said in an affirmative tone: "Don't buy it." ”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Xudong stopped talking and concentrated on answering the question, he knew that Boeing must be taking him as the wronged leader, a plane of 60 million US dollars,! These are two planes booked by others, because the capital chain is broken, the balance can not be paid, not only the remainder, but also the decoration, the decoration style is very earthy, anyway, Zheng Xudong is not fanciful, he believes that Ivanka will not take a fancy to it. And he bought two planes at one time for $60 million a plane, which is really playing with his child!

Boeing President James and Sales President Bartlett really want to knock this kid on the bamboo bar, anyway, they know that he has money, and they don't knock on it. But I didn't expect him to answer so simply and decisively, and he didn't give you a chance to explain at all. This made them feel that they had made a mistake.

After all, President James was still an old man, and he smiled cheekily to cover up the embarrassment on his face, and then said: "Mr. Zheng, don't you talk to death! Don't you have an old saying in China that you ask for a price that is sky-high, and you will pay back the money on the ground? The price I just said is not the final price, and the final price is easy for us to discuss! Anyway, the road is long, why don't we talk and discuss it together!"

At this time, Bartlet, the sales director sitting next to James, saw that Zheng Xudong didn't mean to speak at all, just answered the question with one mind, and said: "Mr. Zheng, you have also answered this exam paper for a while, take a break and drink a drink, and then tell us the reason why you don't buy it, so that we can know where our plane is expensive, or if you are still dissatisfied, you say yes?!"

Zheng Xudong knew that he couldn't just keep talking, this was just a strategy to lower the price before buying a plane, he stopped his pen and put it on the table, and then picked up the wine glass and dried the wine in the glass. Sales director Bartlep immediately poured the wine to Zheng Xudong again, full of thought that Zheng Xudong would speak after drinking, but he didn't expect Zheng Xudong to continue to pick up the pen to answer the question, just when he wanted to ask him again why he didn't buy it, at this time Zheng Xudong spoke, "President James, yesterday at Wendi Deng's party I said that I want to buy two short-haul planes suitable for domestic flights, you said that you have exactly two ready-made, if I guess correctly, these two should be second-hand goods that were booked by others and cannot complete the final payment." ”

James saw how smart this young man was, and he had also heard the rumors about what happened in that conference room last night, so he didn't hide it and said directly: "Mr. Zheng, what you said is right, but one thing please believe, these two planes are definitely new, and the one that is sitting now is the first flight except for a test flight, and there is only one test flight after it is built, so how can it be said that it is second-hand?!"

"But they've been renovated according to their owner's wishes, and now I don't like it, and I don't think my girlfriend Ivanka will like it, because there's a plane for her. In the style of the Trump family's tyrants, do you think they will like this decoration style?" Speaking of this, Zheng Xudong laughed twice.

President James's concern about the plane is not the question of who sits on it, but what Zheng Xugong said, he doesn't like this decoration style, and the meaning of that sentence could not be more obvious, he wants to redecorate, and it will cost a lot of money to redecorate! If this plane is really given to Ivanka, with the tyrant nature of the Trump family, they really will not look at such a very simple decoration.

At this time, Zheng Xudong continued: "The second is that I want to buy two at one time, and one more I want to fly back to China for short-distance flights, our country is no more than 6,000 kilometers from east to west or north to south, but your plane has a flight range of 11,000 kilometers, I feel a bit wasted to sit on it, it can be used for intercontinental flights, a bit overkill." I could well buy a Gulfstream G200 with a range of only 6,600 kilometers and an offer of less than 15 million dollars. Two are less than $30 million, you say?"

At this time, Bartlet, the sales director, said: "But the Gulfstream G200 is so small, the standard chair can only seat 10 people, while ours can seat 63 people." ”

"Mr. Bartlet, you're right, but don't forget, the two planes I bought are only for short-haul flights, if there are too many people to sit down, I also have one of your 747-8 VIP planes, if the journey is long and there are many people, I will use it, I don't need your aircraft that are close to the 747-8 in all kinds of performance, their functions overlap somewhat, it is a waste. Speaking of this, Zheng Xudong took a puff of his cigar, then raised his head to look at them and said: "In addition to these, there is another problem, that is, the planes made by your Boeing Company are all the same in appearance and have the same family front face. If it's a large plane, this shape is quite beautiful, but if it's a small plane, it won't look good with this shape. ”

Zheng Xudong's words silenced Boeing President James McEnany and Sales Director Bartley Cook, who were sitting across from him, and they were all silent thinking about how to explain the young man sitting opposite him with an IQ similar to that of a demon, and now they have begun to regret thinking too much about this young man when they came, thinking that as long as Zheng Xudong is just a "rich and willful" child who has not grown up, but today they find out how wrong they are.

President James squinted, took a few puffs of his cigar, and then drank the red wine in front of him, at this time Zheng Xudong had already begun to answer the last part of the short-answer question. He said to Zheng Xudong, who was carefully doing the question: "Mr. Zheng, we came with great sincerity for this meeting and talk, the problems you just said are small flaws for our Boeing, you have to admit that in the field of aircraft manufacturing, if we say second, no one dares to say first, of course, you buy an airplane to consider the overall plan of the aircraft's beauty, comfort, etc., but there is one thing I think is above these, that is, safety, if there is no safety, everything else is." I dare to assure you in my own belief that Boeing may be lower than its competitors in terms of aircraft styling and interior decoration, but in terms of safety, we can proudly say that we are the best! We can't change the exterior styling of the aircraft, but in terms of interior, you can propose what changes to be made, and we can redecorate it for you, or you can find a company with aircraft interior decoration standards to do it under the supervision of Boeing. It's not that we can't trust the company you invited, because the decoration materials selected by the decoration company are environmentally friendly, fire prevention and other aspects must be reviewed by us, and the original circuit facilities of the aircraft can not be destroyed during the decoration process, and the weight on both sides of the aircraft should be basically the same, which will affect the safety of the flight. For example, if you fly in Southeast Asia, for example, when you go to Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, etc., the flight distance will exceed 7,000 or even 8,000 kilometers, and this Boeing BBJ can meet your requirements at this time. Finally, the price of the plane, we still have to discuss the price we proposed just now, why don't you put forward a price and say it, so that we can find a mutually acceptable price intersection, what do you think?"

Zheng Xudong listened to the president of at least the world's top 20 largest enterprises doing sales work in person, and his eloquence was really good, and he answered the questions he raised one by one.

After Zheng Xudong finished answering the short-answer question written in his hand, he put down the pen and looked up at Boeing President James, "President James, I don't deny the safety of your Boeing aircraft, but you can't say that the safety of Gulfstream and Bombardier's private jets is not enough, and the two of them pay attention to the safety of the aircraft while taking into account the aesthetics and suitability." So according to the points just mentioned, I think you should make concessions on the price, so that I propose a price, you think about it, if we can make a deal, I will buy the two planes you produced, if not, then we will be in line with the principle that the transaction is not benevolent, after all, I also bought your Boeing 747-8 VIP aircraft, and it is being renovated. My opinion is that this Boeing BBJ plane is 40 million dollars each, you guys think about it. After speaking, Zheng Xudong picked up the pen again and began to bow his head to write the answers to the last two short-answer questions.

When President James saw that this was already the case, he took out his cell phone and stood up and walked to the back of the plane to make a call.

When Zheng Xudong finished answering this examination paper, President James walked back, and when Zheng Xudong opened the second answer sheet, President James said: "Mr. Zheng, just now I have reported the price you proposed to the board of directors, and after the board of directors has studied and decided to agree to sell these two BBJ aircraft at a price of 40 million US dollars each. From today onwards, you will be a super VIP customer of Boeing. We will provide you with a series of value-added services such as excellent pilots, flight attendants, route application, etc. After speaking, he raised his glass to Zheng Xugong to congratulate him.

Zheng Xudong picked up the wine glass and stood up and touched him, after taking a sip of wine, he sat down and smoked a cigar and then answered the second test paper. Ten minutes later, after she finished grading, she looked at Zheng Xudong who was answering the question with incredible eyes, and Boeing President James saw it and asked, "Fendi, what's the matter, didn't you pass the test paper?"

"No, President James, I mean he got all the answers right, full marks. It's just incredible. It's been years since I've encountered a perfect score on a test paper. Fendi's eyes were full of appreciation.

Zheng Xudong smiled when he heard it and said, "This level of exam is a piece of cake for our Chinese students!"
