(532 votes added)
……
An Feng has encountered a rare busyness this week.
There is no way to live far away. Of course, the title of "fastest business jet" is not taken for nothing, more than 600 kilometers is more than half an hour of flight. Full speed at full speed, and it's already there before it feels like it's there. Then the research center is working, and the patient's treatment is checked.
Even Bazel, who often came to visit his mother, was a little ashamed of himself.
Bazel knocked on the door and entered An Feng's office, followed by two people in hotel chef uniforms, still carrying takeout lunch boxes in their hands, he came in, and pointed to the glass table next to the sofa: "Just put it here." After speaking, the two masters began to take out the food from the insulated lunch box.
An Feng glanced at the table and asked, "What is this?" ”
Bazel said, "I see you didn't plan to go out to eat at noon, and it just so happens that I am the same, so let's make do with it." Chinese food should suit your taste. ”
An Feng smiled: "Trouble, I've been really busy lately." ”
Sitting on the sofa, Bazel said to him: "No matter how busy you are, you have to make sure that you are healthy, because many young people are too focused on work, forget their eating rules, and suffer from stomach problems, and the gains outweigh the losses." So I advise you to hurry up and come too, while the smell of Chinese food has not yet dissipated. ”
It's rare for Bazel, who has always been silent, to speak so humanely, how dare An Feng not give face to His Excellency the Baron, so he hurriedly came to sit down beside him, and looked at it, the spicy large plate of chicken and sweet and sour pork ribs were actually served with white rice! An Feng swallowed his saliva: "Awesome, it smells so good!" ”
Bazel also picked up the rice, and of course he had a fork. He tried the chicken, then the sweet and sour pork ribs, and praised, "This dish is good!" ”
An Feng knows that this sweet and sour pork ribs take care of the taste of Westerners and is sweet.
Bazel asked, "This should be considered authentic Chinese food, right?" ”
An Feng said: "This chicken counts." But the ribs are a bit on the sweet side, losing the vinegar sour taste that should have been there. ”
Bazel shook his head: "It's incomprehensible. I always feel that Chinese food is very complicated, and it looks beautiful on the outside, but some of it tastes strange when you try it. ”
An Feng smiled: "Regional differences, if you want to harmonize, the final thing is a mutated meal." It's like cheese is not accepted in China. ”
Bazel nodded: "I know that there is also the Chinese kind of ...... Strange black egg porridge. ”
An Feng thought for a while, and felt that Bazel should have wanted to say "preserved egg porridge", he nodded: "Actually, as long as you don't look at the process, it is also delicious, but after watching the process, I feel a little difficult to accept." You can think of this as a difference in food culture. ”
"I see, I can understand that," Bazel said. Ever since there was a hunting in Africa. After seeing the locals eating grilled mosquitoes, my mindset was balanced. ”
"What?" An Feng swallowed a mouthful of rice, "Roasted mosquitoes?" Are you serious? ”
Bazel wiped his mouth with a tissue and smiled: "I promise, but I suggest you finish eating first, otherwise I won't be responsible for not having enough to eat later." ”
After the meal, he and Bazel talked a lot about the world, and when they really got along, His Excellency the Baron was quite interesting - compared to the usual old-fashioned image. He also has moments that make him feel close. Although they are twice as old as each other, they have a lot in common.
Or maybe Mrs. Sinclair's condition stabilized. Bazel put down his burden, right? An Feng ignored their age gap, felt like friends with each other, and said nothing, His Excellency the Baron did not deliberately maintain his image, and even heard some classic complaints from his mouth.
It's a bit subversive, and he's almost almost able to say the first four words of F or S.
An Feng felt ...... Former Bazel and he were business partners. But now with friends. So he didn't care about work, and chose to chat with Bazel, from dietary differences to small things in life, to hobbies and habits, and hunting. Raising horses or swordsmanship, they can say that they are very long.
"We may organise a safari in Africa in October to experience the freest hunting in the south-central region," Bazel said. ”
An Feng was very interested: "There should be no restrictions on hunting in Africa, right?" ”
"It's a bit restrictive, like endangered lions and rhinos, and other deer, antelopes or zebras," Bazel said. ”
An Feng said: "Count me as one when the time comes." ”
Bazel smiled: "Of course it's no problem, a few children in the family will also go, put them in the pickup cage, watch the beasts, and increase their knowledge." ”
An Feng gave a thumbs up: "This is a good way to exercise your guts!" ”
While talking and laughing, An Feng's mobile phone rang, and after saying sorry to Bazel, he answered in his ear: "Hey, Bob, how is the plane going?" ”
Bob is the director of Bombardier's western region, and half a year ago An Feng ordered a Global 8000 business jet, and now he has money, so he wants to get it quickly, or take someone else's order, because as a diplomat, there is no special plane to travel...... Excuses, full excuses!
Bob said apologetically: "Mr. An, due to the tight sales of the Global 8000 model, our orders have been lined up for four years, and customers have no intention of giving up......"
An Feng listened to his explanation and said, "Okay, it seems that you have to wait patiently, I'm sorry for you." ”
After hanging up the phone, Bazel looked at him and asked with a questioning look.
An Feng explained: "It's about the plane, I ordered an intercontinental plane, because I need to use it back to China, I want to advance it." ”
"Private jets are a lot of patience, you're Bombardier, aren't you?" ”
An Feng looked at him: "Can you guess? ”
Bazel smiled: "The name Bob is a little familiar. ”
An Feng nodded: "Yes, the Universal series has been very popular recently. ”
"If you have the money, I have other ways to get an intercontinental plane." Bazel said.
An Feng said: "It should be no problem, I can use an offshore account to spend as a company asset." ”
Bazel took out his phone: "That's good, I recommend Gulfstream to you, they recently came out with an upgraded version of the plane, I just asked me if I wanted it a few days ago." ”
"What model?" An Feng asked.
Bazel dialed a number: "I'll ask." ”
He chatted with the person over there on the phone, put it down and said, "It's the G650ER, and the ER stands for their upgraded version." The width of the cabin has been mainly improved, and the range has also been slightly increased, and the green machine (bare metal), which is waiting for the final customization of the customer, will be delivered within three months, are you interested? ”
The G650 was originally capable of flying about 12,000 kilometers. If the ER type increases the width and range, it seems to be a very good choice - of course, it also means that it will cost another seventy or eighty million to buy a new aircraft, An Feng did not hesitate, nodded and agreed: "I want to go and see." ”
Bazel said a few words on the phone, and then said: "The other party said that there is no problem, you can go at any time." ”
An Feng said: "Thank you, you have done me a favor, and I happened to have a plan to go to China and Europe recently." Hiring planes frequently is not economical and cumbersome. ”
Bazel agrees: "It's a hassle to hire a plane, and it costs twice as much as a private jet, but it's not as good as your own plane." I can lend you the plane if you need it, medium-sized ones like Gulfstream G550s, large 787-VIPs, and even cars can fit in. ”
An Feng was not polite: "If there is a need, I will mention it to you." ”
Bazel was generous: "I won't mind. ”
……
By the time the Anfeng plane flew to the headquarters of Gulfstream Aerospace in Georgia. I learned that these green leather machines are all provided to high-end customers, and others are even rich. Want also a reply: sorry, need to place an order. Bazel's big favor is an understatement.
It's like borrowing a phone to call me.
After getting off the plane, a special account manager came to receive him and visited several green leather machines in the factory, according to the manager, this is a model produced on an assembly line. Considering the order quantity of G650, the "quasi-spot" was specially leveled out and quickly selected by the customer.
At present, there is only one place left, and Gulfstream is ready to give it to Bazel, and the last one will be transferred to An Feng.
An Feng looked at the G650ER, which was still very ugly. In addition to being able to take off normally, its exterior and interior are zero starting points, which need to be customized by the customer.
Then sit down with the designer and negotiate the custom content, which was easy to choose thanks to the Global 8000's customization experience.
The interior is more high-end, with brown carpets and seats, which looks extravagant and atmospheric. The cabin is divided into three sections, with two side-by-side sofas in the front and single seats in the middle, with a hidden table for working or eating.
The back part has a small bar with a hidden wine cabinet and refrigerator to store a lot of good goods, and there is also a three-seater sofa opposite the bar, as well as two seats facing the front of the machine, which can accommodate five or six friends to gather for a drink and chat.
In terms of appearance, the most classic milky white is used, the wings are sprayed with his own name, and then the belly is painted with the lines of local tyrant gold, and when you look up at the sky, you will see a few dazzling gold strips on the fuselage, and after landing, the white fuselage will make it low-key.
After that, An Feng didn't forget to ask Joanna's opinion, sent her some design samples, and she chose some favorite styles, and then handed them over to the designer, so that they could modify them, add some objects, and reduce some unnecessary cumbersome.
This design, coupled with some supporting multimedia facilities, door curtains, etc., can eventually accommodate 18 passengers for intercontinental flights, and the cost of customization plus the aircraft is a total of 75 million US dollars, which is expected to be delivered in three months, and Anfeng needs to pay in one lump sum.
For a large amount of accounts, he is not a big problem, signed the contract, the buyer in the name of GP International, through the offshore account transfer, and then the cooperation was completed, both parties got a satisfactory result, An Feng did not stay, arrived in the morning, and returned to California in the afternoon.
=====
PS: The Tesla battery chapter calculated the cost as high, and revised it, and the number of batteries was changed to 2000. But it does not affect the reading of most readers.
There is no way to get on Google at home, so you can only find some Chinese information that looks more reliable, and the cost of Tesla batteries does not exceed 30%. Therefore, calculated (not listing the process, there are too many words), the cost of the battery is between 1.3-16,000. The cost in the article is 20,000, and in terms of mileage (480 km for lithium batteries and 850 for new batteries), the cost goes up, but it is more affordable. And there are also 30 minutes full of high-tech. (To be continued......)
