Or search on Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Fan Wuxian told Boss Zhu about his calculations over the phone, and he was very interested.

But because this matter is relatively involved, Boss Zhu asked Fan Wuzhi to postpone for a while, and he had to make overall arrangements over there, so that the matter was not negotiated, and he made a mess first, but he also asked Fan Wuxi, how much money did he probably want to purchase?

Fan Wuji's current preferred passenger aircraft is the Airbus A340-300, which carries 295 passengers as standard, has a range of 137,500 kilometers, and uses four turbine engines of CFM company.

The A340 series is a double-aisle wide fuselage passenger aircraft developed by the European Airbus Industrial Company after analyzing the needs of the world's major airlines in the nineties.

In addition to the number of engines and the systems associated with the engines, this series of models has a lot in common, most of their parts can be used in common with each other, using the same fuselage, but different lengths, the cockpit, wings, tail, landing gear and various systems are the same.

Airbus has adopted many modern technologies in the A340, such as fly-by-wire and multi-function cockpit displays, due to the use of advanced wings, high-efficiency engines and a large number of composite materials, the weight of the aircraft has been reduced, and the fuel consumption per kilometer and the cost of direct use per seat have been greatly reduced.

The price of the A340 is relatively high, about $180 million per aircraft, and Fan Wuxian plans to reduce the unit price to $150 million if they can reduce the unit price to $150 million.

I bought seven of them myself, which is a billion dollars of land. So Fan Wuxian told Boss Zhu,

"I'm going to spend a billion dollars to buy seven of their planes, and I guess the price can be taken down."

"What is enough for seven planes, you might as well buy fifteen at a time, which is $2.3 billion. What do you think? After listening to the advice of the experts around him, Boss Zhu said to Fan Wuxi.

$2.3 billion?! Fifteen Fan Wuxian suddenly felt a little dizzy, although he said that he was rich, but it was not this flower, right?

It is true that in 10 years, or 15 years, the aviation industry will be a profiteering industry. But it's a little distressing to invest so much money to buy this kind of passenger aircraft that is not the largest and most luxurious, this is not an A380 airliner!

If it's an A380 airliner, I don't mind buying a few more, but A34, you need to think about it.

\\\\\\Therefore, Fan Wuxian asked a little hesitantly,

"I'll allocate planes to Panshi Airport, fifteen, I'm afraid it's a bit much." The rock is the new airport.

Although Fan Wuxian made up his mind at the beginning to buy a large plane with a long range and fly mainly on international routes, he didn't dare to guarantee that there would be so many people cheering?

And this pilot also has to go through special training. It will probably be necessary to hire some foreign pilots to solve the urgent need.

After calculating it, it will cost you a lot of money, not to mention that the management of Panshi Airport also needs a lot of skilled personnel, which cannot be solved by money alone.

Fan Wuxian thought about it like this, and suddenly felt that buying a plane was much more expensive than building an airport, no wonder many airlines were renting other people's planes, and they really couldn't afford it!

Boss Zhu suggested.

"You can do the same. We are buying seven or eight large passenger planes, and we are buying some small passenger planes with one or two hundred people. Otherwise, your airport is too single and not conducive to operation. "That's right.

Fan Wuxi nodded, and finally asked,

"But in this case, I will be too financially stressed. *****”

"Now that the new French government is conducting diplomatic consultations with us, hoping to normalize Sino-French relations, the two sides will naturally have to negotiate some conditions, you put the order size at about 2 billion US dollars, and I don't have to make much effort." Boss Zhu didn't tell Fan Wuxian anything false, and directly told him the inside story,

"Recently, the domestic financial situation has also been relatively tight, and our foreign exchange reserves are not much, so we can't afford to invest so much at once."

"Huh?!" Fan Wuxian asked stupidly,

"Then I'm the top tank?!"

"Just think you're doing me a favor!" Boss Zhu said with a smile,

"If you don't tell me you're going to buy a plane from the French, I won't think of dragging you in. At most, this is good, your airport also needs a lot of people, and when the time comes, how about I draw capable forces from all over the country to support you? "Everyone has said this, Fan Wuxian has nothing else to say, so he agreed,

"Okay, then the two billion dollar order is good, you report the numbers to them, and the specific negotiations are all foreigners, who can save face, and your government officials talk about this, and they always can't be used. = Novel 520 Premiere == "

"Good!" Boss Zhu said with some joy,

"If this is done, I will invite you to dinner myself!" Hehe, I don't think there are many people who can get Boss Zhu to invite you to dinner, right?

The key is that this is a personal relationship! Fan Wuxian is beautiful, he has been excited all morning, in fact, it is a trivial matter to invite guests to dinner, the key is that Boss Zhu said that the commitment to dispatch capable personnel to support him at Panshi Airport made him feel that a big matter was solved.

With this personnel guarantee, Panshi Airport will soon be put into operation, and once the personnel training keeps up, it will not take a year for their skilled staff to be trained, and it will be much easier to have other ideas at that time.

Fan soon went to the location of his Fan's investment group and convened a meeting of relevant personnel to discuss the order of Airbus A340 family aircraft.

"Why not order the American Boeing family of aircraft? After all, Airbus is a rising star, how can it compare with the overlord of Boeing's old brand? Many of Fan Wuxi's subordinates were Americans, and when he heard that Fan Wuxian had decided to buy a French plane, he certainly felt a little shameless.

= Novel 520 First Release== Fan Wuxian explained very simply,

"This kind of big business often involves national interests, and the Americans have been at odds with our government recently. If I join the U.S. government and is willing to send some friendly signals to promote bilateral relations through people-to-people trade, I will be easier to speak. ”

"I think I can probably push this forward." Davis replied thoughtfully.

Fan Wuxian nodded, the United States is a combination of politics and business, and many politicians have transformed from businessmen, so it is not uncommon for Davis to have a relationship with the US government, so he said,

"Well, as long as it doesn't harm the interests of the company, you can toss it as you want." Davis laughed,

"Of course, we still have to put the company's interests as the highest goal, even if we deal with the government, it is also so that we can get more market opportunities." More market opportunities?

Fan Wuxian shrugged his shoulders, and said in his heart that in addition to speculation in the United States, he is buying inflatable dolls, for now, he really doesn't have anything to sell to Americans, even if he sells counterfeit antiques, they are not very interested!

However, the French are more enthusiastic about these works of art, but Fan Wuxian thought about it, whether he should arrange a leather bag company, and then let Zhang Mao Donkey make some imitation antiques to make some money from the French, anyway, he is idle.

But being so sideways by Fan Wuxian that the trip of the Sino-French exchange student group was postponed.

"What's the matter, it's been postponed again, and if you postpone it for a few more days, you'll delay the holiday." Tong Xiaoyun complained with some dissatisfaction,

"I'm also going to use my vacation time to see the Seine, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre, and now it looks like I'm choking enough."

"It's not so pessimistic---- Fan Wuxian is a little embarrassed, he naturally knows the reason, it's all because he threw out a big order, so the government needs to carefully adjust the strategy, which affects the problem of student communication, but this matter is just a matter of delaying for a week, just have a buffer stage.

In the days that followed, the students began to go home. The department really organized a summer social practice activity, and the final decision was to go to Hong Kong, but it took a lot of effort to apply for a visa or something, and it was probably not until mid-August that I could make the trip.

When Ren Xiaorou talked to Fan Wuxian about this, Fan Wuxian hesitated, at least at this time, he was still reluctant to go to Hong Kong, but the department hoped that he, a student who had both money and achievements, would go over with him, and he could also serve as a temporary doctor in the team, which made him a little difficult to shirk.

"Hong Kong has a developed economy and is an extremely free financial harbor, and it would be very beneficial for our international trade students to have the opportunity to experience the atmosphere up close." Ren Xiaorou hoped that Fan would participate without illness, and the meaning in the department was the same.

Fan Wuxian said in his heart, the economy of the United States is more developed, Hong Kong is at best a financial port, and New York is the world's financial center, and the difference in this concept is too great.

At this time, Fan Wuxian thought about it, if he went to France to hang around, it would take about two to three weeks, and then he would come back to deal with the affairs of companies around the world, and then go to Hong Kong for a week, and it would be time for school to start, and this summer vacation was very fulfilling!

In the end, Fan Wuxian thought about it and finally agreed, with the student delegation to Hong Kong to play, it is better than their own high-profile travel, this is also an opportunity, after all, although Hong Kong is a little chaotic at this time, but there are opportunities, at this time you might as well take a look at the real estate market and the stock market, to see if you can make up your mind to raise a large amount of money in Hong Kong for a few years.
