Chapter 588: My Plane

With the stimulation of taking full control of the American market, Kindler's work efficiency was terrifying, and within two days, he called Chen Geng again, and his tone was very excited: "Chen, congratulations!" ”

With a move in his heart, Chen Geng asked, "Is there news from Lufthansa?" ”

"Yes," said Kindler, "my friend at Lufthansa helped you get a new low price of $1.59 million, and Lufthansa will give you two first-class tickets for free when you come to Germany." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Oh, then I'll thank you for that friend, and if it's convenient for you to get to Germany, let's have a meal together." Chen Geng said happily.

Although his asking price is 1.6 million US dollars, the other party only lowered it by 10,000 US dollars on the basis of his asking price, but 10,000 US dollars is not a small amount of money, this is also a favor, not to mention that people also provide two additional first-class tickets, although the first-class cabin from China to Germany is empty most of the time this year, but it can be provided to you for free, this is also a favor, isn't it?

Chen Geng: This is ...... Planning to meet that guy? Kindler immediately realized that his friend's creation had come: what did it mean to him to know such a rich man as Chen Geng? Well, just look at yourself, Chen Geng pointed him out casually, and this guy might become a millionaire.

These two tickets and $10,000 are worth it!

"OK, OK," said Jindelle, overjoyed, "I'll tell that guy." ”

Lufthansa's batch of second-hand Boeing 737-200 ready for sale is parked at an abandoned small airport in Brandenburg, at a glance, although these planes have been used with high intensity for more than 10 years, but the condition looks very good, this is not surprising, the maintenance of the aircraft is quite harsh, must be carried out in strict accordance with the maintenance procedures given by the manufacturer, as long as the maintenance time comes, the replacement should be replaced, the change is thrown, there is no "I think this part is not bad, you can continue to use" such logicOnce there is an aviation accident due to inadequate maintenance, the airline is very likely to return to the pre-liberation period overnight, which is a typical case of picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon, and no airline will do this kind of thing.

"Mr. Chen, this is the plane I picked out for you," Standing in front of the Boeing 737 with an engine duct that was significantly larger than that of the other aircraft, Delane seriously explained to Chen Geng the use of this flight: "This plane was officially joined by Lufthansa in 1974, although it has been 14 years now, it is not the latest among the planes that are going to change hands. But the engines of this aircraft are just replaced in October 1984 with two CFM56 engines, the two engines have only been used for less than 4 years, and the most important thing is that this aircraft has just undergone a comprehensive overhaul and maintenance half a year ago, and the overall condition is better, and you can save a lot of money after you take over the past. ”

That really saved him a lot of money, Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Delane, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

Probably didn't expect Chen Geng to be a very talkative look, completely different from the Chinese tycoon in his impression, Delane also breathed a sigh of relief, "This is what I should do, Mr. Chen, please come with me, let's take a look inside the plane." ”

Capitalist Zhennima is too corrupt, in order to satisfy Chen Geng, Delane not only arranged a simple boarding ladder in front of this plane, but also specially arranged for someone to turn on the APU auxiliary power system on the plane, all the lighting facilities in the cabin were turned on, the air conditioning system was all turned on, and even arranged a pilot. Delane and the pilot are not lying, the overall performance of this aircraft is indeed very good, the price of 1.59 million is really good value, Delane has indeed put a lot of thought into it.

"I'm very satisfied with this plane," after a general understanding of the situation of this plane, Chen Geng has made a decision to buy this plane: "Mr. Delane, thank you very much, you have done me a great favor." ”

"It's my honor," although he knew that Chen Geng was being polite to him, Delane was still very happy and said politely: "Mr. Chen, no matter what questions you have, you can come to me." ”

"Speaking of which, I remembered that I entrusted you to find an aircraft modification company......

"They're also in Brandenburg," Delane said immediately, "It's called Delang Aircraft Company, and it's a well-known private jet modification company in Germany." ”

"Aircraft conversion companies in Europe?" Chen Geng's brows couldn't help frowning: "As far as I know, the best private jet modification companies are all in the United States, right?" What is the strength of this Delang aircraft conversion company? Is there a modification permit from Boeing? ”

If Boeing's conversion license is not obtained, the result will be terrible, how bad? Boeing will refuse to provide you with spare parts for repairs, on the grounds that you have made unauthorized modifications to the aircraft without authorization, which has seriously affected the overall safety of the aircraft.

You can't even remove a single interior panel from an airplane without permission.

Boeing's clause is completely a bully clause, but there is no way, now the market of this level of aircraft is only Boeing's 737 and McDonnell Douglas DC-9, MD-80, as for Airbus A320, is still in the airworthiness certification stage, as for McDonnell Douglas MD-80, this aircraft was only sold in the 80s, the price is not cheap, under the overall measurement, if you want to buy a cheap, space is still relatively large second-hand aircraft, only Boeing 737, For Boeing's stinky problems, you can only pinch your nose and endure it.

Fortunately, Delane immediately nodded: "Of course, Mr. Chen, you can rest assured that Delang Aircraft Company has a complete Boeing license, in fact, they have even obtained the technical authorization and license to replace the Boeing 737-200 series aircraft with new engines, and if necessary, Boeing will also provide them with technical support, so you are not worried at all." In addition, regarding the choice of a retrofitting company, my consideration is as follows......"

Delane seriously explained to Chen Geng: "The reason why I chose a German aircraft modification company instead of the United States is that in addition to the fact that I know Mr. Delang and have a full understanding of their professional level, there is also a reason that under the same level of modification, Mr. Delang's fees are more reasonable - although there are many aircraft modification companies in the United States, because there are many rich people who go to the United States to refit, the cost of doing modification in the United States is about 10% higher than that in Germany." ”

Chen Geng understood, because the United States has a large number of private jets, so the private jet modification business is particularly prosperous, although the corresponding private jet modification enterprises are more, but the competition is not too fierce because of this, on the contrary, everyone should go to the United States to do the modification, and the fees of aircraft modification companies in Europe are more reasonable.

His own money was not blown by the wind, and Chen Geng immediately decided: "Okay, Mr. Delanene, I trust your professional judgment." ”

………………………………

After seeing the thick pile of Boeing's authorization documents of Delang Aircraft Company, Chen Geng was completely relieved, yes, this Delang Aircraft Company really has the official authorization to modify and maintain Boeing 737 models.

The head of Delang Aircraft Company is called Delang, a German old man in his 60s, although he is in his 60s, but he is in good health, especially looking at Chen Geng, who represents more than 1 million US dollars, smiling kindly as if looking at his own father......

"Sir, I have to admire your unique taste, compared to a large private jet like the Gulfstream, it is undoubtedly a more genius and creative idea to convert a civil mainline aircraft into a private jet......"

"I'm sorry," Chen Geng had to interrupt the eager old man Delang, and corrected him seriously: "I hope to convert this plane into a luxury business jet for my company, not a private jet for me alone, Mr. Delang, I hope you can understand the difference." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily: "Okay sir, I understand, do you think your plane needs to be designed according to the standard of how many people can be carried at most?" ”

Private jets and business jets, although in many cases can not see the difference at all, but after careful analysis, it is still possible to make the dividing line very clear: private jets, more for the owner of the aircraft, all with the owner as the core, but if it is a business jet, it is mainly for the company's official business, business activities services, such as transnational large-scale business negotiations, etc., may need to carry forty or fifty, fifty or sixty people on a trip, and there is still a meeting or something halfway, for private jets, There is no need to design such a large passenger demand.

So from this point of view, the difference between private jets and business jets is still obvious.

For Chen Geng, he is determined to have any connection between this plane and himself, in this era when the per capita annual income is less than 3,000 RMB, private ownership of a private jet? Is that because you didn't die fast enough?

Chen Geng thought for a while and asked Delang: "Mr. Delang, on the premise of ensuring the luxury and comfort that a business jet should have, how many people can this aircraft accommodate at most?" (To be continued.) )
