Chapter 201 Customization
Santa Monica Airport,
"Does it really take two years? Can you get them to hurry? Li Jiani complained unhappily. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lotus slowly stopped the car, and he looked at the few people waiting for him in front of him, "Then you tell them to give full play to your charm." ”
"Forget it," Li Jiani shook her head and sighed, "How can my charm be as big as the dollar." ”
"Alright," Lotus smiled, and he glanced at Jamie not far away, "Get out of the car." ”
"Hi Eric," Jamie walked up and shook his hand, then looked at Li Jiani and complimented, "Hello, Miss Amy, it's my pleasure to meet you." ”
"Thank you." Li Jiani smiled slightly, elegant and reserved.
Jamie glanced at the light blue CCR, and although he was an airplane, he was also amazed, "Wow, this is so cool." ”
"Jamie," Lotus smiled, glancing at the business jet parked not far away, "let's meet the cooler guys." ”
"It's a pleasure." Jamie makes an inviting gesture.
Li Jiani took Lotus's arm and followed Jamie to board the business jet that picked up the two.
The interior of the aircraft is clean and spacious,
"This is the Global Express XRS of the Global Express series, an intercontinental aircraft that has the longest ride area among a business jet in its class and can be divided into three sections."
Jamie introduced the two of them in detail, and he speculated that Eric's purchase intention was an intercontinental aircraft, and he was still a rich man who was not bad for money, so he directly asked the company to drive the most expensive and luxurious XRS that was launched in November last year.
"At the front are the crew area, the pantry and the front toilet. The central part is the main passenger area and can accommodate up to 9 VIPs. He introduced while leading the two of them around.
Lotus nodded, this Global Express XRS is a standard version with no personal customization, the interior is decent, and the cabin is dominated by beige and dark brown. Nine plush leather seats, office aids and dining tables are neatly arranged in the cabin. An 18-inch wall-mounted LCD TV is embedded in each of the two doors of the cabin, and the long table is equipped with global telephone, Internet fax and Internet access, and the bar is stocked with fine wines.
Jamie led the two to the rear, he opened a door, and said, "This is a private luxury box, with a separate bathroom, which can be used for rest and private activities, completely unaffected by others." ”
Lotus looked at it, the interior was still simple and neat, with a beige couch on the left, and the black cushion seemed to stretch into a double bed. On the right are two leather seats, and the overall space is indeed not small.
The three of them returned to the cabin area and sat down, which is completely comparable to the first-class seats of civil aviation, which are hand-sewn from genuine leather, soft and comfortable, and can also be unfolded to let people lie down and rest. A flight attendant pulled out a hidden table for them and served them three glasses of champagne.
Li Jiani gently pushed away the glass in front of the two of them and said with a smile: "Mr. Jamie, we are not yet 21 years old." ”
Jamie was stunned, although the minimum age for drinking in California is 21 years old, but how can anyone really care about this regulation.
Lotus smiled faintly, he was allergic to alcohol, although the low concentration was no problem at all, but Li Jiani would never let him touch it.
"Detective, how is it performing?" Lotus gently patted the armrest and asked.
Jamie came back to his senses and said, "The Global Express XRS is FAA and EASA airworthiness certified, and can reach a range of 11,390 kilometers, which is faster and farther than other business jets in its class. And it can reach a ceiling of 15,000 meters, and at this altitude there is very little air flow, so it is very comfortable. ”
"It has a maximum cruising speed of 950 km/h," he said, pointing to the portholes, "and the enlarged window frame design allows for unrestricted viewing from the portholes, increasing the field of view along the profile by 183 percent, as well as increasing the natural light illumination of the cabin." ”
Lotus nodded with satisfaction, he needed to fly farther, so that it would be more convenient to travel back and forth to China in the future.
At this time, the plane took off, and because the flight plan had been submitted to the air traffic control office in advance, it was able to fly to an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. In a moment, the Global Express XRS rose to a height of 12,000. This height can smoothly and comfortably transport several people to Arizona, which is adjacent to California. Bombardier has an aircraft manufacturing center in Tucson, which supplies most of the aircraft in the western United States.
In less than an hour, the XRS landed on the runway of Bombardier.
Li Jiani quietly pulled the lotus flower and motioned for him to look out.
Lotus looked through the porthole, and there were many planes parked on both sides of the airport, including not only business jets, but also large passenger planes.
Seeing this, Jamie smiled and said, "Our business is very wide, not only airplanes, but also railway trains. ”
Lotus nodded and praised: "Bombardier is really strong. ”
Jamie smiled and led the two off the plane, and a Mercedes drove them to the company office building. Normally, there is a person in charge who specializes in receiving customers to conduct detailed negotiations. As president, Jamie's main business is to manage the company. But the identities of these two people are not ordinary, whether it is the popularity or the financial resources of Eric, which Jobs revealed to him, it means that it is impossible for ordinary customer leaders to contact him, so he has to go into battle in person.
In the office,
Jamie warmly beckoned the two to sit down, and the female assistant on the side was not idle, serving tea and pouring water was quite thoughtful. It is the eyes that look at the lotus flower from time to time that reveal the unrest in her heart. Each customer who orders an aircraft has a dedicated person in charge, as well as a dedicated team to ensure that every individual needs of customers are met.
"Eric, what do you think of the Global Express XRS?" Jamie waved his hand helplessly to let the somewhat absent-minded assistant step back, "To be honest, among the business jets with a range of more than 10,000 miles, the Global Express XRS is currently the top. ”
Lotus nodded, he has also learned about it in the past two days, and at present, among business jets of the same level, XRS can be said to be the leader. Of course, the price is also the most expensive.
He glanced at Li Jiani, although this woman was quiet at this time, her heart was probably already burning!
"Let's go to the factory and have a look." Lotus looked at Jamie and said he needed to get a feel for how much room there was for XRS.
“ok。” Jamie was overjoyed and hurriedly began to arrange.
Bombardier's factory building is very ordinary, boxy like a domestic factory, but a bit high, after all, there are planes parked inside. When the car drove in, the first feeling when I got out of the car was that it was clean, and I couldn't feel the density and congestion of the factory at all.
As he walked, Jamie introduced: "This is the No. 3 plant, which belongs to the post-production area, and there is some follow-up work to be able to deliver the aircraft to the customer. ”
He pointed to a plane in front of him and said, "That's the Global Express XRS with only the exterior custom livery." ”
Lotus nodded, and the three of them went inside.
"How?" He looked at Li Jiani and asked, he felt that this space was enough.
"It was great and there was a lot of space." Li Jiani smiled calmly, her heart has begun to think about how to create a sky suite for the two.
"Jamie," Lotus looked at him and smiled, "we're happy with it, but can it be delivered faster?" ”
"Eric," Jamie said with a bitter expression, "you know what? That's the one I'm most afraid to hear, and every rich man has said the same thing to me, but it really takes a lot of time to make and debug. ”
"But two years is really too long," Lotus looked regretful, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "Jamie, how many ongoing orders do you have in hand now?" ”
Jamie was stunned when he heard this, he understood what Eric meant, this is to cut off his beard! That's just great!!
"Well. Eric.." His expression was a little unnatural, as if he was holding back some kind of emotion, "This XRS under our feet, it was originally customized by a rich Italian man, but recently his economy has gone a little wrong, so now the project is idle." ”
Lotus smiled slightly, he understood what was going on with Jamie's expression. Generally speaking, ordering such a business jet will pay a deposit of several million yuan in advance, and the balance will be settled when the aircraft is delivered. And this kind of idle project is difficult to deal with. Bombardier has two options: build the aircraft and sell it in its entirety, which will be much lower than the price of a custom. The other is to be idle indefinitely, waiting for the customer's financial situation to improve, but this is obviously not in line with the profit standard.
Very few people take on such a project, after all, the rich want to have their own aircraft built from the ground up. What's more, Bombardier will not take the initiative to sell such idle projects, tens of millions of dollars of transactions, a little bit of price is a loss, and the rich in Europe and the United States can see the needle. As a last resort, Bombardier chose to wait. But it's different if you take the initiative to ask...
"Eric," Jamie said casually, pretending to be casual, "you're in luck, this XRS is all for you." You just need to customize and personalize, and you can get this beautiful big dick in 3 months. ”
Lotus lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he didn't care about taking over the idle project, anyway, he would make a personal customization according to his and Li Jiani's wishes, and the temptation of three months was really not small. But as a rich man, how can he break the rules?
"Jamie," he smiled softly, "as far as I know, there will be a certain discount on an idle project like this, right?" It seems that Bombardier has made such a deal as well. ”
"That's right, but Eric, the difference between three months and two years is huge, don't you want to have your own palace in the sky as soon as possible?" Jamie bewitched.
Lotus shook her head and smiled, "Jamie, it's not suitable for here, are you really going to keep it locked all the time?" ”
Jamie fell silent when he heard this....
