"I wish you all the best of luck!"

Standing in front of the gangway, Chen Geng shook hands with everyone one by one, and when he finally came to Old Man Xie, Old Man Xie seemed to smile on his face: "Stinky boy, you don't have anything to tell me?" ”

"Told you? Oh oh......" Chen Geng's heart suddenly changed, wasn't his own arrangement discovered by the old man? Well, no, I repeatedly told Lin Shuyao that he resolutely couldn't reveal the news, and made sure that there was absolutely no possibility of leaking the news, Chen Geng said with a smile: "Old man, I also wish you a smooth journey." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"At this time, you are still sloppy with me," Old Man Xie said angrily: "If it weren't for our family talking to me, I wouldn't have known that you would have made such a ......."

"This is really 'day and night prevention, house thieves are difficult to prevent'," Chen Geng's face was depressed: "It's done, don't say anything, take this opportunity, you can also accompany your family, see what fun things are in Tokyo, buy more for your little grandchildren and granddaughters, it's better than you nagging me here." ”

"Stinky boy, are you still playing with me?" Old man Xie couldn't cry or laugh, but to be honest, the old man was really happy in his heart, the old man is now also a person who gets dividends every year, and of course he is not bad for the family to go to Tokyo to play with this little money, but Chen Geng can think of it, and hide it from himself, and want to surprise himself, but it makes Old Man Xie very moved in his heart. But the older generation, even if they are already moved in their hearts and want to stick a knife in each other's ribs, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, their mouths are resolutely unconvinced: "I'll tell you, this is the last time, if you dare to play this trick with me again in the future, I won't ......finish with you, old man."

Chen Geng, whose scalp was blown up for a while, hurriedly pushed the old man to the plane: "I know, I know, you hurry up and get on the plane, this plane is about to be delayed, I don't want to be scolded by the flight attendant......"

The two flight attendants standing next to them were very aggrieved: Who dares to scold you, Chen Dong?

"What is urging? Don't rush," Old Man Xie seemed unhappy: "Stinky boy, didn't you say that you want to buy an airplane within 2 years?" It's been a year, and I haven't seen the shadow of the plane, so I'll tell you, I can wait, and if there is a plane in the future, let the plane wait for me, I will resolutely not wait for the plane......"

"I know, I know, don't worry, I will definitely take this matter to heart, and I will find someone to help inquire when I go back, and I promise to do ......it next year."

finally pushed the old man onto the plane, and Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief: It's really not easy, no wonder everyone says that old children and old children, this person is old, so he has to coax like a child...... But this Tokyo Motor Show should be fun, right?

――――――――――――――――

There is no movement on the side of the military region, Chen Geng can understand that this kind of thing is not something that can be decided for a while, even if it only gives a seemingly feasible plan, Chen Geng knows very well that in this situation, the only thing he can do is wait.

It just so happens that this time is not very busy, and I can take a good rest - I am really tired after this year.

Jindeler told Chen Geng a good news: "Brother, the news you asked me to inquire about has come to fruition. ”

"Really?" Chen Geng was overjoyed and sent the old man Xie on the plane, Chen Geng entrusted Jindeler to help him inquire about the news of the retired trunk aircraft, but he didn't expect the news of this guy to be so fast: "Tell me, what is the situation of this batch of aircraft?" ”

"Of course it's true, can I still lie to you?" Kindler's voice was very proud: "I got the news from my friend at Lufthansa that Lufthansa was going to retire a batch of Boeing 737-200 around Christmas, and I made a special inquiry, and the service life of these planes was between 12 and 13 years, and there was nearly half of the service life, and they were originally going to be sold to those low-cost airlines, so the price was not expensive......

"Great!" Chen Gengdeng was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, brother, how much is the price of this plane?" By the way, by the way, help me inquire again, whether these planes use turbojet engines or turbofan engines. ”

The aviation industry in developed countries such as Europe and the United States has a habit, that is, in order to improve the safety of aviation, the service life of the mainline aircraft of major airlines rarely exceeds 15 years, but this is far from reaching the design life of civil aircraft, and then these aircraft will be sold to those small airlines, low-cost airlines or simply sold to the third world.

For a civil trunk aircraft, even if the life extension design of the fuselage and landing gear is not carried out, the service life of the normally maintained aircraft is basically about 30 years, but for example, some DC-3/C-47 aircraft that were in service during World War II can be seen in the sky of many countries even after 30 years, and they still fly well. Chen Geng's only concern now is that he hopes that the Lufthansa 737-200 will not use the JT3D turbojet engine, but the Boeing 737-200 will have two types of engines, the JT3D turbojet and the JT8D turbofan.

"You don't need to ask about this, I've already inquired for you," Kindler said with a smile: "This batch of Boeing 737 is equipped with a JT8D turbofan engine, which is more fuel-efficient, and it was replaced with a more fuel-efficient CFM56 engine in 82, and the condition of the whole machine is very good, I will help you inquire about it."

Oh, by the way, this batch of Boeing 737-200 is still long-range, after the replacement of CFM56 engines are mainly used to carry out transatlantic flights from Germany to the United States, my friend told me that the maximum range of the aircraft can reach 5,600 kilometers when fully loaded, and if the load is 70%, the maximum range can reach more than 7,300 kilometers. ”

What else can Chen Geng say about the work that Kindler has done? "Brother, you're so interesting! ”

"Hah...... Don't get too excited, the price of these planes is not very cheap. ”

"Of course, this is a second-hand phone, not a retired aircraft, I understand," Chen Geng nodded and asked, "How much?" ”

Considering that Lufthansa has already replaced the Boeing 737-200 with a new model of CFM56 engines with greater thrust and more fuel-efficient, saving the cost of replacing the engines himself, Chen Geng feels that even if the price is a little higher, it is acceptable.

"$2 million, what do you think?"

This price......

Chen Geng didn't know what to say, he was not very clear about the price of aircraft and second-hand aircraft, but he knew that the unit price of this batch of Boeing 737 purchased in the 70s would definitely not exceed 8 million US dollars, even if it was replaced with a new engine, but after nearly 15 years of high-intensity use, this price seems to be a little inappropriate - you know, this is more than ten years ago, but the aircraft is in the best condition for 15 years, and the service life of a plane is about 25 years. How much is a Boeing 737 ready for retirement? It's less than $300,000, and it's the kind with all the equipment in good condition except for the absence of an engine.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Geng said, "Lao Jin, tell me, what do you think of this price?" ”

"I think ......," Kindler paused slightly, "It's a bit high, but the minimum will not be less than $1.7 million, and I guess this price is only available to low-cost airlines that have a good relationship with Lufthansa and have cooperative dealings, but you may not be able to." ”

"Very good," Chen Geng said, after thinking about it, "In this way, you can tell your friend at Lufthansa, 1.6 million US dollars, I want this plane." ”

"......" Jindeler didn't speak, and waited for Chen Geng to continue, after working with Chen Geng for so long, he knew very well that Chen Geng was not a strong person, and he said that 1.6 million US dollars, there must be a reason to offer this price.

"In addition, you are telling that friend that he asked him to help me find an aircraft modification company approved by Boeing, and I want to convert this Boeing 737-200 into an intercontinental luxury business jet of the transpacific aircraft type that can fly directly from China to the United States.

"Of course, if you introduce this business to him, I am sure that he will definitely help you get the best price, and he will definitely help you choose an aircraft that is in the best condition overall." Kindler laughed.

A second-hand aircraft is not expensive, but the cost of modification is not cheap, few people use Boeing 737 for business jet modification, the rich prefer Gulfstream, Bombardier these professional luxury private jet manufacturers, but if you talk about a Boeing 737 converted into a luxury business jet that can fly across continents, not to mention how large the amount of modification of the entire cabin, the belly cargo compartment alone has been freed up almost half of it for conversion into fuel tanks.

Taking into account the luxurious interior decoration and decoration, and taking into account the unscrupulous quotations of those private jet modification companies, the entire aircraft does not have a modification cost of more than $1 million, and it is not expected to meet Chen Geng's requirements -- the modification price is basically the same as the price of buying this second-hand Boeing 737-200.

After all, although there are not many companies engaged in private jet modification, there are definitely a lot, and the competition between everyone is also extremely fierce, Chen Geng's business is a big job, if you don't have enough benefits for me, who am I not giving it?

With this part of the benefit fee, it was enough for Jindler's friend to help Chen Geng fight for a good price.

After a pause, Kindler said excitedly: "Chen, I also want to tell you good news, our motorcycles have a chance to enter the American market." ”

Well? Chen Geng suddenly became energetic, and hurriedly asked, "Can our motorcycles enter the American market?" What's going on? ”

The current American motorcycle market is dominated by Harley, with a market share of more than 50%, the other 40% is occupied by the four major motorcycle giants in the United States, and the remaining less than 5% is occupied by the so-called "emotional" European motorcycle brands such as BMW, Guz, Augusta, and Ducati.

Speaking of the American motorcycle market is also very interesting, 5 years ago in the early 80s, Harley motorcycles in the United States motorcycle market share of less than 20%, once on the verge of bankruptcy, the entire market is almost dominated by Japanese motorcycles, but Americans play scoundrels, a look at their own children are not good, the United States immediately introduced tax protection measures, the export of Harley obtained the US government tax relief permit, imported Japanese motorcycles need to pay high tariffs.

Five years later, Harley, who won a respite with the support of the U.S. government, almost starved to a market share of 54%, Chen Geng firmly believes that the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers at this moment are very much missing the Japanese dog, but what is the situation of the Blackstar side three-wheeled motorcycle entering the American market?

"It's also a veterans' club, a veterans club in the United States," Kindler said excitedly: "Some time ago, a head of the American Veterans Club accidentally saw our Blackstar side three-wheeled motorcycle when he was playing in Europe, and he liked it at once, you know, all military fans can't refuse the original World War II taste of Blackstar, right?" ”

"Of course." Chen Geng nodded: "And then, he wants to cooperate with us to introduce Blackstar to the United States?" ”

"Yes, that's it."

Chen Geng does not rule out finding a partner in the United States, on the contrary, it is beneficial for him to have a partner in the United States: "It was a good thing to have a partner in the United States at that time, but what kind of conditions can this guy give? What about his strength? Is there a development route? ”

"It's similar to what we do in Europe, mainly through various veterans' clubs and military fan organizations, but he is also very interested in the new cars we have developed, and thinks that these cars can also achieve a good sales figure in the United States......"

"Since you have the opportunity, let's try it," Chen Geng said without hesitation: "It's just right, isn't the European market almost developed, and it's time to try it in the United States." ”

After receiving Chen Geng's approval, Jindeler was very happy: "Okay, since you think it's okay, then I'll go to the United States to talk to him in the next two days." ”

Chen Geng thought for a while and said: "In this way, Lao Jin, since the U.S. market is your contact, from now on it will be mainly handed over to you to be responsible, management, operation, and development are all handed over to you, I will take 10% of the shares, and wait for dividends every year." ”

"That's ...... Not okay? Kindler hesitated: "It's not the same as we had agreed......"

"If you do more, you should take more money, so it's decided," without waiting for Jindeler to finish speaking, Chen Geng said categorically: "If you feel embarrassed, then try to make the American market bigger and let me get more dividends." ”
