Chapter 639: Is Rent Expensive?

Qiang pondered in his heart: All the pilots who are staying in China now are Chinese or foreign, and it seems that the only pilot who can fly this Mi-26 helicopter is the four-man crew of the Mi-26 helicopter that Zhang Lan got back from Ukraine. [Drunk] [Lu] [Net]|(/|*It seems unlikely that this kid wants to help him train pilots for free, who doesn't know that the cost of pilot training is extremely high, and training pilots for others is a lucrative business? Let's take a look at the pilots of the SU-27SK fighters that Lao Maozi helped his country train, and how much money did the country spend on training these dozens of pilots at that time? This kid has always been unequivocal about the money he can earn, and don't want him to give up on that.

It's not impossible to lease Zhang Lan's four drivers together, but there is one point, these four people are foreigners after all, Wang Qiang is very worried that his country's military secrets have been taken by these four guys, although these four guys are not spies, but since these four guys can be bought back by Zhang Lan's kid from the normal service situation, although it is said that there is the intention of their superiors, but if it is not because of the high salary that Zhang Lan gave them that they can't refuse, if they themselves are not happy, can they be in China now?

In this case, who dares to guarantee that if those foreign spies knew that these four guys were serving their own army aviation units, and offered these four guys a suitable price, these four guys would not tell what they saw about the Chinese army aviation units? It's hard to say that it's not uncommon in any country to see people dying for money.

For the sake of safety, Wang Qiang felt that it would be better to let these four guys help him train a batch of Mi-26 pilots, even if he would not use this plane himself in the future, but as the old saying goes: Yi Duo does not press himself, maybe one day China will have its own super-heavy transport helicopter, and then these boys under his command who have experience in flying such large helicopters will become the targets of the training from above, and perhaps for this reason, this kind of aircraft may be equipped with their own troops first. Wang Qiang thought happily in his heart.

Since Zhang Lan raised the Mi-26, the maintenance cost of the aircraft is also paid for by himself, and the same is true of international practice, so there is nothing to doubt about this issue.

And what this kid said, during the period when they lease this plane, how do they calculate the cost of using the plane? Spread it on your head? Wang Qiang immediately shook his head: He is not wronged! Or are you responsible for filling them up with gas? Is the fuel counted as free for them? Well, that's a good idea, Wang Qiang nodded(*

The most important rent issue, which is the most headache, how much should it be? If this kid doesn't agree, he can't afford it if he has more. After thinking about it, Wang Qiang finally decided to kick the ball to this kid, it is estimated that with such a good relationship between the two families, this kid is embarrassed to open his mouth, right?

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Zhang Lan was not in a hurry, knowing that Wang Qiang was thinking about these things there, so he was quietly waiting for Wang Qiang's answer to himself.

"That's it," Wang Qiang finally opened his mouth after a while, "The pilot of the plane, let's pick a few people here, and the four crew members of your company will be responsible for training us; We are responsible for the normal maintenance of the aircraft during the lease period and the costs during the maintenance period in accordance with international management, but you are responsible for the part of the maintenance costs used during the period during your participation in the Dakar Rally; During the lease period, if you use the aircraft, we will fill up the aircraft to you free of charge when we send the aircraft to you, but after the fuel is used up, if you need to refuel, we can also provide it to you, but after that, you will have to pay for the fuel out of your own pocket, or pay for it directly, or deduct it from the rental cost of the aircraft in the future. ”

"This is our condition," after a pause, Wang Qiang continued, "As for the cost of pilot training and the cost of leasing the aircraft, you can look at it." As soon as he finished speaking, he was worried that this guy opened his mouth, and couldn't help but add, "Our army has not been rich in the past two years, can you ask for a little less?" ”

Zhang Lan thought about it: This guy's conditions for opening up the land are very relaxed. Everything is in accordance with international practice. Especially to subsidize yourself with a little fuel. This guy is really kind. So. How much rent should I need? It's just that Wang Qiangdi's last sentence made Zhang Lan a little unhappy: Your army generals eat less than two luxurious banquets every year. How much money can you save?

"How many years are you going to rent?" Zhang Lan groaned. Wang Qiangdi's question was not answered. Instead, I asked him about the time of the lease first.

"Let's rent it for a year." Wang Qiang pondered for a moment. "We also want to see if this aircraft can adapt to our combat missions and training needs.

"A year?" Zhang Lan bit her lip. "So be it. This plane. I'll give you half a year for free. Let me see if this aircraft is suitable for your needs. During this half-year period. The ground pilots are handled by our crew. It can be regarded as supporting your national defense construction. We'll pay their wages -- and you can't afford to pay them. I believe that half a year is enough time for you to observe whether this aircraft is suitable for your needs. Half a year later. If you guys feel fit. Then a one-time loan for three years. When the time comes, we will help you train pilots; If you don't feel like it's appropriate. Then we'll take the plane back. This is half a year. It's like we're supporting your army. Well. Of course. During this half-year period. You still have to pay for the maintenance and fuel of the aircraft. ”

Zhang Landi's condition is really tempting. At least Wang Qiang was very impressed when he heard it: it is free to use for half a year. Such an opportunity. Not often! As for half a year later? It's been half a year. Suitable for the needs of the army that is not suitable for their own army. Didn't you already know by then? When the time comes, it will be used for half a year. I feel that this Mi-26 helicopter is really suitable for my troops. A three-year lease is not a problem, and it is not suitable for our army aviation to use the vernacular. Well. Didn't I use it for free for half a year?

As for the issue of secrecy, thinking of secrecy, Wang Qiang thought about it very seriously: Well, this is also simple, it's just half a year, and what he has is a way to make these four Ukrainian old hairmen not know the internal secrets of their army aviation units, and they don't have to pay their salaries by themselves, well, this business is cost-effective! ,

Thinking so, Wang Qiang nodded, "No problem." ”

"Since there is no problem, then I will make a price, for the training of your crew, well, according to the common practice in China, such an aircraft should be equipped with two crews, and once a crew has a problem, the other crew can go up at any time." After making a good arrangement for his plane, Zhang Lan, who was in a good mood, opened his mouth with a smile, "I don't want you much for this training fee at all, 100 US dollars per person, and the two crew members and eight crew members will only charge you a total of 800 US dollars for the training fee, to ensure that they can fly this aircraft proficiently, this price is very reasonable; As for the cost of the lease for three years, well, even if you're $3 million a year, $900 for three years. He said to himself, "This lease price is almost equivalent to giving the plane to you for free." ”

To tell the truth, the training cost of a military aircraft pilot, from the beginning of theoretical knowledge to the final ability to fly alone, can be at least 4,000 yuan to be able to solve. The equivalent of ** RMB will also be 470 US dollars. This is just to be able to fly alone, and the cost of training after that is even more expensive, basically 350,000 yuan per hour of flight! If you want to be able to fly proficiently, it takes at least 200 flight hours to be able to do it, Zhang Lan helped them train them to be able to fly the plane proficiently, this price of 100 US dollars per person is really not expensive at all, and even cheap to death!

Zhang Lan asked his four crew members to help them with crew training, although at that time it must be Wang Qiang selected from among the pilots of his army aviation unit, eliminating the previous training link, but I have to say that even if these guys have experience in piloting other kinds of helicopters, using the military's own training equipment, and using the military's fuel, the training fee of $100 per person charged by Zhang Lan is also quite cheap, at least Wang Qiang has not heard of such a cheap.

Wang Qiang has no opinion on this point, but Wang Qiang has become a little hesitant about Zhang Lan's request for an annual aircraft lease fee of 3 million US dollars: Will this price be a little more expensive?

"There is no problem with the training fee," Wang Qiang hesitated when he heard Zhang Lan's words, "but is the annual rent of $300 a little too expensive?" ”

Hearing what Wang Qiang said on the other end of the phone, Zhang Lan almost planted a big heel: Damn! $300,000 a year, which is almost equivalent to the price given to you for nothing, is it still too expensive?

"$300 a year in rent, is it expensive?" Zhang Lan asked rhetorically in disbelief.

"Well, this price is a bit expensive," Wang Qiang was thick-skinned enough, "The price of this three or four years of rent is enough for us to buy one." ”

"Do you know how much the Mi-26TS basic version of this aircraft sells for in Western countries? $1,000 - $1,200! The problem is that this one is not the Mi-26TS you mentioned, but the military-type Mi-26A! Are you going to buy this model for $1,000-$1,200? I didn't dream of doing it! Zhang Lan's voice suddenly rose an octave because of excessive excitement.
