As an old rich man who has built his own business empire and now has the main things in the hands of his heirs and the board of directors of the group. Private jets are pretending to show off their wealth like this, and it is a must-have for home travel.
It was a G650 business jet designed and produced by Gulfstream Aerospace, with twin jet engines, wings up to 28 meters long, and a fuselage length of 20 meters.
But hearing this model, Li Fanyu pouted, "It's too small." ”
After receiving this evaluation, old Jones choked on a mouthful of phlegm in his throat and choked on himself.
It's still small!?
That's the biggest business jet in the world!
"Ahem, my friend, what kind of plane do you want?"
Li Fan tilted his head, "The kind that weighs twenty-seven or eight tons or thirty tons, right?"
This value is not something he just said. Rather, it is a limit value calculated from the power, carrying capacity and towing capacity of the F150.
Li Fanyu didn't know much about airplanes, but in his expectations, it was absolutely impossible for a small plane like the Gulfstream to have this self-weight.
In fact, due to the use of aviation materials, the empty weight of the Gulfstream is only a little more than 17 tons, even if it is full of fuel, plus the crew and passengers, it is more than 20 tons.
......Richard Hammond, one of the three, has taken the aircraft pilot's license and has a certain understanding of aircraft.
As soon as I heard this number, I remembered a model, "Well, the weight of the Boeing 727 seems to be like this." ”
Boeing 727?
As soon as Li Fanyu heard that it was a Boeing passenger plane, he immediately thought of the 747 commonly used by domestic airlines, and according to the urine characteristics of the Boeing model, the 727 should be two sizes smaller than the 747.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for the data of this model.
After seeing the data that the wings were thirty-three meters long, the fuselage was forty-seven meters long, and the empty weight was thirty-one tons, Li Fanyu slapped his thigh, "That's it!"
……
With the popularity of "Topgear" in the Youtube delivery sector, another car show, "Car Life", felt a deep sense of crisis.
Unlike "Topgear", which set the profit method of "copyright operation" at the beginning of its establishment, an important source of revenue for this kind of car review program is advertising sponsorship.
However, due to the popularity of the first episode of "Topgear" (hereinafter referred to as TG), the sponsors of this show, who had already been decided, are now hesitant and ready to switch to "TG".
This time, the program team was anxious enough.
This sponsor is the Kaman company.
So in order to save this big financier, "Car Life" is going to do an exclusive interview with Kaman, and spend a whole episode of the show to promote all of Kakaman's models.
In fact, Kaman has contacted the program team of "TG" and expressed its willingness to sponsor the program. But because of the planning of the show, Li Fanyu had already informed Stewart and Clarkson, and the name of the main sponsor was classified as his own land. So to the surprise of Kaman, the program team rejected their request to win the exclusive naming rights of the first season for five million dollars.
After being rejected, the company received the offer of "Car Life", so it also agreed.
Although "TG" robbed the throne of the boss of the plate, the show "Car Life" was also impressive before.
So with some careful preparation, the program combination made an exclusive promotion special for Kaman through careful operation. At this time, when the column statistics released the sales ranking of models in the North American market, Carman once again became the sales champion with two series of AB pickup trucks.
As a result, "Car Life" directly used the time of the entire program to make a comprehensive promotion for Kaman Company and its models. As the executive director of Carman, Phelps also came to the show on behalf of the company and participated in the interactive session with the host.
After introducing the achievements of the Carman company in recent years and the fact that its models cover the whole United States and become the king of pickup truck sales, the host asked Phelps a question.
"Oh Phil, Karman has been the sales champion in the pickup truck market for five consecutive years, have you ever wondered why you can do it so well?"
Faced with this question, Phelps nodded the host with his finger, "Good question!"
"We've talked about this before, and we can only sum it up to three points: one is that we have the best marketing department and can keenly grasp what consumers really need. The second is that we have the best R&D department, which can present these needs to consumers through technical means, and the third is that we have the best production department, which can ensure that every car is in the most perfect state when it is delivered to consumers. ”
The host applauded gently, but there was a look of helplessness on his face, "Please, Phil, this is a variety show, not a report from Congress." Don't be so one-sided."
Phelps laughed and said, "OKOK, if you have to let me say something exciting, if you have to explain why Kaman is so good, then maybe... Thank God, because we have no opponents. ”
The host's eyes lit up, "Aha! Why do you say that? You see, Japanese pickup trucks are selling well in North America." For example, Toyota's Takuma, Nissan's Titan, Honda's Zero Line, and Chevrolet's Colorado are also selling well, how can it be said that there are no rivals?"
Phelps looked confident, "Hey, don't forget. The cars you mentioned are all pressed by Carman in the rankings, and the defeat is not a match for us. ”
"Haha, OK, but the automotive industry is always changing, and what you say has no opponent is not accurate. As far as I know, in the past few years of your company's development, you have faced the rise of many opponents. For example, a model from a Chinese company targeting North America is about to go off the assembly line. Do you have a sense of crisis or any special policies to deal with?"
Phelps made an exaggerated look of surprise, "Do you mean Zhengxin? Oh, Joe, look at these data, our company has twelve production lines, and Zhengxin only has one in the United States. Our market capitalization is $2.5 trillion, and Zhengxin is not even a publicly traded company. Our headquarters building has more than 60 floors, and the last time I visited Zhengxin to talk to them about the acquisition, their chairman was still in an office of less than 70 square meters. You want me to call such a car company an opponent?
In fact, Phelps still has one sentence that he hasn't said, that is, "Do you think a Chinese company can compete with us?" He wanted to say it, but considering the company's image, he didn't say it.
......
saw this show, or Clarkson forwarded it to Li Fanyu on his mobile phone.
Looking at Phelps's contempt on the show, Li Fanyu sneered.
No opponents?
I can't bear such a lonely behavior,
