Chapter 622: So be it
In the two giant parking sheds connected together at Los Angeles Long Beach Airport, several huge Boeing passenger planes that were parked in the past have disappeared, replaced by small and medium-sized passenger planes ranging in length from 10 meters to 50 meters.

Compared with airplanes, the number of people watching at the scene is sparse, and things like private jets, no matter which country they are placed in, are high-end commodities, and they cannot be consumer goods for the general public.
Despite the flight experience, air show and fashion beauty show at the show, Murphy and Gal Gadot were not interested, and got out of the car and went straight to the airplane exhibition area.
After entering the exhibition area, Grace and a fashionable and beautiful blonde beauty were already waiting in front of the parking shed.
"Murphy, Gail......" Grace introduced the two, "this is Miss Kleberson, who represents the business of several companies. β
"Hello." Murphy nodded at her.
The woman named Kleberson smiled enthusiastically and said, "It's a great honor to serve both of you. β
They still have something to do in the evening, and Gal Gadot said directly, "Take us to see the plane." β
Kleberson led the way, followed by Murphy, Gal Gadot and Grace, and the group soon arrived at the Boeing booth.
"Boeing has two aircraft on display this time...... "Kleberson said, pointing to two large and one small, "the big one is the Boeing 757, which can be converted into private jets in addition to civil aviation, and the Boeing 757 is currently owned by Mr. Donald Trump, a real estate tycoon in New York." β
She looked at another, slightly smaller aircraft and said, "This is Boeing's latest BBJ series of private jets, with the Boeing 737 as a prototype." β
Compared to Murphy and Gal Gadot's requirements, the Boeing 757 family was too big, and they just purchased a more comfortable private vehicle in the air, rather than building a palace in the sky.
Gal Gadot glanced at Murphy, who whispered, "You have an idea." β
Since many years ago, Gal Gadot has been in charge of the affairs of the two people's lives.
In yesterday's discussions, Boeing's BBJ series and Airbus' ACJ, as well as the latest large business jet from Gulfstream, a well-known business jet manufacturer, were the two main objects of their investigation.
"Let's go check out the BBJ series." Gal Gadot said.
Kleberson immediately made a gesture of please, "Three, go this way." β
Murphy followed Gal Gadot and left the rest to his fiancΓ©e.
Grace was by his side.
In fact, Grace once recommended Boeing's BBJ series of business jets to him, and Murphy remembers saying that if she wants to travel between three cities in one day, if you want to pack the entire company's decision-making team into one plane, if you want to work during the flight, complete shareholder meetings, and want to have a comfortable bed on the plane, and spacious showers, these are not problems, and the Airbus Boeing BBJ can fully meet the needs.
But Murphy is well aware that the price is more than $60 million in purchase costs, as well as a steady stream of related investments.
Klebert greeted the staff next to him, and took Murphy and his party to the plane, which was a prototype, decorated with gold and splendor, quite the momentum of the cars of Arab sheikhs.
Gal Gadot couldn't help but frown when he saw the predominantly golden interior.
"This is a prototype built by the company specifically for Arab sheikhs." Kleberson immediately noticed this and immediately said, "The interior decoration and design can be done with the customer's input in mind." β
Murphy knew before he came that after buying a business jet, the design cost of the interior is usually added to the millions of dollars.
"The Boeing BBJ is undoubtedly the most luxurious and comfortable transportation vehicle in the world."
Taking Murphy and the others around the plane, Kleberson said, "It is a derivative of the mainline airliner, using the same fuselage and engine as civil flights. The huge interior space can hold more fuel and fly farther; They can add more amenities, give each passenger a relatively independent space, and be more comfortable than any first class flight. β
In Kleberson's presentation, the number of seats the customer needs to assign, the material of leather, the color of the carpet and wallpaper, the choice of toiletries, the configuration of the in-flight entertainment equipment, the size of the LCD screen, the additional network and communication equipment, and even the brightness of the lighting, all of which can be designed and booked.
And the final delivery of the aircraft to the user, before and after at least a year.
For some reason, Gal Gadot was not very happy with the plane, and after getting out of the cabin door, he said to Murphy, "I don't like this one." β
Murphy nodded, "Let's go look elsewhere." β
"Miss Kleberson...... "Gal Gadot called out to the business agent in front of him, "let's go to Gulfstream." β
"Okay." Kleberson didn't have any impatience, showed a warm smile again, and led the way, "I don't know which model you want to see?" β
Gal Gadot has a clear goal, "G650 business jet. β
Compared with Boeing, Gulfstream has more aircraft in the exhibition area, but Gulfstream's main focus is the G550 and G650.
Walking to the Gulfstream's exhibition area, Gal Gadot went around the G650 directly and seemed to be satisfied with the shape of this business jet.
Kleberson, who was next to her, was very observant and didn't say anything at first, until Gal Gadot took a turn and said, "The introduction of the G650 business jet is a revolutionary vision for Gulfstream, and this aircraft has almost become synonymous with private jets. It has set a new standard in the field of business jets, becoming the most spacious and noble business jet in the cabin and with a transcendent cruising speed. β
Unmoved, Gal Gadot said, "Let's go up and have a look." β
Kleberson glanced at Murphy and saw that he barely spoke the whole time, and knew that the person who could give the decisive opinion was the fiancΓ©e of the great director.
"Please come in." Kleberson walked to the spiral staircase at the front and continued to explain the advantages of this aircraft, "The G650 cabin has the lowest pressure altitude of any business jet - only 4,850 feet, even at the maximum cruising altitude of 51,000 feet, the cabin pressure is the same, which can effectively reduce the fatigue of long-haul flights. β
Entering the cabin of the C650, Murphy followed Gal Gadot and looked back and forth.
Unlike the splendid decoration of the Boeing BBJ prototype I just saw, the interior of this G650 prototype is a typical official design.
"To improve productivity, Gulfstream has expanded the length of passenger movement areas in the cabin, resulting in more recline of seats and more legroom."
I don't know when, that Kleberson stood between Murphy and Gal Gadot, she was obviously a smart person, and she would not ignore such an important person as Murphy, "When the cabin width is increased, it can be configured with more spacious seats, more aisle space, and a meeting zone. β
"Come and see." She took a few steps forward to the conference area and said, "The meeting area has three seats, enough for six passengers for meetings or meals, and the increased space allows for the option of larger boxes, such as double beds." β
In addition, Kleberson also demonstrated to Murphy and Gal Gadot the G650's full kitchen and bar, as well as a variety of entertainment facilities, including a satellite phone, wireless Internet, a 26-inch LCD display and other equipment.
After spending more than half an hour inside, Murphy and Gal Gadot stepped off the plane.
After getting off the plane, he asked in a low voice, "How's it going, honey?" β
"Not bad." Gal Gadot clearly likes the plane, "We bought the plane for official use, not for domestic use. β
In this respect, the G650 is more suitable than Boeing's BBJ.
Although the plane is a little smaller than the Boeing BBJ, it can also carry ten passengers and four flight attendants, which is enough for Murphy and Gal Gadot, and the plane is small, but it can also fly more than 7,000 nautical miles.
This means that it flies non-stop from Dubai to New York, or from London to Buenos Aires.
Finally, Kleberson talked about the performance of this aircraft, "Gulfstream uses high-thrust Rolls-Royce BR725 engines, which can do short-range flights at speeds close to Mach 1, making the G650 the aircraft that flies the farthest at high speed in a business jet, and no traditional business jet allows you to enjoy flying so close to the speed of sound." β
She knew very well that customers neither understood nor liked to listen to those boring technical parameters, so she simply said, "With such a fast speed and a maximum range of 12,964 kilometers, the G650 once flew from Burbank, California to Savannah, the headquarters of Gulfstream, Georgia, at high speed, and the flight of more than 3,545 kilometers took only 3 hours and 26 minutes, showing the Gulfstream G650 business jet's transcendent speed and ultimate fuel-efficient cruising ability." β
"Where's the price?" Gal Gadot asked another question of concern, "I heard that there are discounts at the air show?" β
Although they are rich now, she is not the kind of spendthrift.
"Given the fame of Miss Gadot and Mr. Stanton," the woman is very good at talking, "the two of them will certainly bring a huge advertising effect to Gulfstream, and I can guarantee that Gulfstream will be able to give them another ten percent discount on the original price!" β
Gal Gadot glanced at Murphy, who nodded slightly, and she said, "Then be it." β
Kleberson instantly burst into laughter, such a happy customer is rare.
Murphy then spoke, "Grace, Gail and I have something to do at night, and you are responsible for handling the follow-up contract and other matters. β
He and Gal Gadot asked Charlize Theron to have dinner with him in the evening.
