Chapter 851 Gulfstream G650 Cabin Facilities
A Gulfstream business jet costs tens of millions of dollars, so for Gulfstream, every customer who orders an aircraft is a big customer. When Xiao Ping got off the plane, the account manager specially arranged by Gulfstream was already waiting for him at the gangway.
"Miss Taylor, Mr. Shaw, welcome to Gulfstream's corporate headquarters. The account manager had already inquired about the names of the two passengers, and politely said to them: "My name is Willis, and I will provide you with the best service throughout the whole process during the period when the two of you determine the cabin facilities of the aircraft." β
"Thank you, Mr. Willis. Since the other party was so polite, Xiao Ping also politely expressed his gratitude to him.
Gulfstream is a big businessman, and it takes very good care of customers like Xiao Ping who buy planes privately. Willis arranged for a helicopter to take Xiao Ping and Jessica to the most luxurious hotel in Savannah, and said that he would pick them up early the next morning to determine the interior of the plane.
As for the expenses of the two in Savannah, of course, all of them were borne by Gulfstream. After all, other companies sell airplanes, so naturally they don't take this little money into their eyes.
The next day, Willis came to pick up Xiao Ping and Jessica on time, took the two to the aircraft factory first, and showed them a Gulfstream G650 aircraft that was still being installed.
Most of the entire plane had already been built, and at least Xiao Ping seemed to think that the plane could almost fly. A few workers were busy at the back of the plane, connecting some of the lines together.
"Mr. Xiao, this is the Gulfstream G650 customized by our company for you. Willis smiled and introduced to Xiao Ping: "At present, the final assembly work is already being carried out, according to our plan." Two weeks later, the aircraft will be able to make its first test flight. β
Xiao Ping nodded with satisfaction: "There are still many months before the delivery time specified in the contract, and your progress is quite fast." β
Willis nodded reservedly, "You've won the prize." Mr. Siu, putting customers first is the company's aim. However, after the first flight, the installation of internal facilities will be carried out. So if you don't have an opinion, go to our showroom, where there are samples of most of the aircraft interior facilities, and you can determine the facilities and decoration of the aircraft interior in the showroom. β
Xiao Ping and Jessica, of course, had no opinion, and the two were led by Willis to the Gulfstream showroom.
Although he had already been mentally prepared, Zhilu Dao was sure that the internal facilities of the plane would definitely not be simple, but when Xiao Ping looked at the catalog of internal facilities that Willis gave him, he couldn't help but be surprised.
As one of the best business jets, the Gulfstream G650 performs very well in terms of safety, flight distance and speed, and flight quality. Besides. The customisable aircraft cabin also has the advantage of being very attractive.
There are dozens of options for cabin layout alone. In addition to the basic layout, which can accommodate eighteen passengers at the same time, there are many layouts to choose from. For example, the cabin can be equipped with more luxurious amenities by reducing the number of seats, such as a bathroom with a shower, a separate bar and even a fully equipped galley. Not to mention leather sofas, bartenders, etc., which are more complicated than renovating a new house.
On top of that, the interior of the Gulfstream G650 is very complex. There are dozens of options for seats alone. From standard seats, flat power seats, to seats with heated massage functions, Xiao Ping is dazzling.
And that's just one thing in the cabin. In addition to the seats, there are also tables, sofas, entertainment facilities, toilet equipment, etc., which Xiao Ping needs to decide how to install, and these alone are enough to cause headaches.
But that's not all, even the interior of the plane needs to be decided by Xiao Ping. The color of the cabin walls and carpets, the kind of leather used for the sofa, the arrangement and brightness of the lights, and even the type and pattern of the decorative wood strips, etc. Every detail of Willis needs to be officially confirmed by Xiao Ping, and then noted on a special decoration manual, so that Gulfstream can decorate the cabin according to Xiao Ping's requirements.
The first thing you need to determine is the cabin layout. Xiao Ping felt that since this was his own private jet, the most important thing besides convenience was comfort. He didn't want to be on his own plane. It is still like sitting in a civil airliner, but there should be a spacious and comfortable space.
So Xiao Ping chose a more spacious layout, including a flight attendant. It can seat up to seven passengers. This frees up a lot of space, not only between the seats. And each seat can be fully flattened, so passengers can rest well during the journey.
In addition to the spacious do accidents. Xiao Ping also customized shower facilities, bathrooms with individual ventilation systems, and a full set of kitchen equipment. As for the large-screen LCD TV, hi-fi sound system, game entertainment equipment and so on, these facilities are of course a must.
Just to determine these facilities, it took Xiao Ping a whole day. This is also thanks to the fact that a professional like Willis has been on his side to guide him, otherwise there are so many projects, even if Xiao Ping is given several times more time, he may not be able to take care of them all.
But it's not over yet. After determining the general direction of the cabin layout, there are still many details that need to be settled. For example, the color of the cabin, the color of the seats and sofas, the type of leather used, the wood and pattern used for the wood trim, and even the size and color of the bath towel used in the shower room can all be customized to your heart's content.
To be honest, after Xiao Ping determined the layout of the cabin, he felt a little impatient, and he didn't have much to worry about these details.
Jessica, however, had a great passion for these details that were inconsequential in Xiao Ping's eyes, and when she began to determine these issues the next day, it was almost all Jessica who was negotiating with Willis. Xiao Ping, who is used to being the shopkeeper in this regard, not only was not unhappy at all, but happily handed over all these things to the American chick to do, and even did not go to the headquarters of Gulfstream.
Jessica knew Xiao Ping very well, and seeing that he was in the hotel every day, he knew that his sweetheart was too lazy to care about the next thing, and went to the Gulfstream company alone for several days to determine various details of the cabin interior with the help of Willis.
Xiao Ping would rather stay alone in the hotel, and when no one disturbs him, he will go into the demon refining pot to look around, completely treating these few days as if he was on vacation. Although he was just casually strolling around the demon refining pot, Xiao Ping still made a surprising discovery. He spotted small bluefin tuna in the ocean, indicating that the bluefin tuna had also begun to reproduce on its own. For Xiao Ping, who has decided to set up a branch in Japan in the future, this is indeed very good news.
Women are naturally more particular about decorating than most men, and Jessica is no exception. The American chick personally took care of every detail of the cabin dΓ©cor and wanted to make the interior of the aircraft as perfect as possible. Anyway, Xiao Ping told her that she can use whatever she likes, and don't think about saving money.
With Xiao Ping's sentence, Jessica must use the best materials for almost all materials, and she is not stingy in this. Since she took over the interior of the cabin, the total bill issued by Gulfstream to Xiao Ping has been millions more than a few million dollars.
Jessica, like most women, always excites her by spending lavishly. So every day Jessica returns to the hotel from Gulfstream, the excitement is palpable. After reporting the "harvest" of the day to Xiao Ping, the American chick always has to vent the enthusiasm in her body in some way. At this time, Jessica is always very active, and even takes the initiative to try new tricks that she has never tried before, which also makes Xiao Ping enjoy all the beauty in the past few days.
Of course, such days always have to end. A few days later, Jessica finally finalized all the details of the plane's interior, and these requirements were bound into a book, which was hundreds of pages. After the first test flight of the new aircraft, Gulfstream will install the aircraft's cabin facilities on a case-by-case basis, as required by the booklet.
Willis politely put Mr. and Jessica on a plane to New York, assuring them that in six months, Mr. Pin would have a brand new luxury private jet.
Of course, there is a price to be paid to have such a good thing. Before leaving Gulfstream's headquarters, Mr. Xiao left a check for $10 million. After determining the cabin facilities, the price of this Gulfstream G650 has risen to a staggering nearly $70 million. This 10 million US dollars is the second payment made by Xiao Ping, and when the plane is officially delivered, he will settle the remaining balance.
In recent days, Jessica has spent nearly 10 million US dollars, and the American chick was spending it happily at that time, but now she is a little nervous when she calms down, and she just got off the plane and asked Xiao Ping worriedly: "Honey, did I go too much a few days ago?" β
Jessica, who owns a stake in Lillian's Ranch, is now a little rich woman, and paying for the interior of the plane is not a difficult task for her.
The American chick made Xiao Ping laugh dumbly, hugged her slender waist and said: "Don't be stupid, how can I ask you to pay for my plane? This little money will be spent when it is spent, as long as you are happy!"
Generous men are always especially popular with women, and Jessica kissed him with a smile and said, "Honey, you're so nice!"
"Since I'm so good, what's the reward for the evening?" Xiao Ping asked Jessica with a wink.
The American chick has a bold personality, and immediately threw a wink at Xiao Ping and said: "Listen to you, I will accompany you whatever you want!"
Just as the two were flirting quietly, Xiao Ping received a call from Ramsey, and the angry chef excitedly said on the phone: "Xiao, something big has happened!" (to be continued......
