Chapter 1043: Buying a plane
A few days after returning from the dog ring, Tang Dashao didn't bother to go, so he stayed at home, accompanied Maoqiu and the general, and at the same time studied what kind of plane he wanted to buy!
After the arrival of the heroic general, he instantly became the real dog king, leading those pet dogs in the community to have fun everywhere!
However, such a huge mastiff is enough to threaten people's lives, so Tang Dashao specially arranged for the general to pay attention to avoiding pedestrians, don't be like the undisciplined guy in the furball, go to find someone to eat, it will frighten people......
The hairball is an optimist in the community, and there is almost no one who lives in the Biyun Dynasty who does not know it, and many people who like dogs even bring a little snack with them, and they will pat its head when they see the hairball.
Since childhood, when I grew up, people in the community were not afraid of it and still played with it.
But the general didn't want to think about it, he didn't want to be boycotted by the whole community......
Regarding what plane to buy, Tang Dashao studied on the Internet for several days, first of all, due to the terrain, he must buy a rotary propeller aircraft, not a jet aircraft.
It uses the rotation of the propeller to push the air towards the rear of the aircraft, and uses its reaction force to propel the aircraft forward. The higher the propeller speed, the faster the flight speed.
Jets, including vortex jets and turbotheon fan jets, have many advantages, such as high speed, generally reaching speeds of 500-600 miles per hour; The fuel cost is economical, the loading capacity is large, and it can generally carry 400-500 people or 100 tons of cargo.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, you need a runway and a professional airport, and Tang Dashao does not have this condition in the mountains.
This time, Tang Dashao chose the helicopter among the propeller planes.
Helicopters have many advantages, such as low-altitude (a few meters above the ground), low-speed (starting from hovering) and maneuvering with the same nose direction, especially vertical take-off and landing in a small area.
Very flexible, especially good at facing complex terrain, is Tang Dashao's best choice!
In fact, when Tang Dashao was in Burma, the plane he made was this kind of helicopter, which could cope with complex terrain, otherwise, it would be difficult for Tang Dashao to transport the coffins and treasures found in the cave......
After a few days of comparison, Tang Dashao discovered a new problem......
Helicopters, the general range is relatively short, the speed is too low, for example, Tang Dashao's more important Mi-8 helicopter, there are 24 seats, the number of seats can be satisfied, but the speed of 210 kilometers per hour and the range of 450 kilometers make Tang Dashao stop......
It takes more than 3,600 kilometers to get from Haishi to the capital of Xinjiang, and if you buy this plane, I am afraid that you will have to refuel nearly 10 times along the way, which is also too nonsense......
A simple helicopter could not meet Tang Dashao's needs at all, so he had to change his plan and planned to buy two planes......
A jet plane flew from Haishi to the capital of Xinjiang, and after arriving in the capital of Xinjiang, it changed into a helicopter and flew directly to the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Thunder Valleys in the Kunlun Mountains......
Buying two planes at one time gave Tang Dashao a good choice......
Helicopter, Tang Dashao tentatively ordered the S-76 helicopter, with 14 seats, a speed of 270 kilometers per hour, and a range of 640 kilometers......
And fourteen seats can almost meet Tang Dashao's needs, after all, it is impossible for him to help dozens of people improve their skills at one time......
It's just that the price of this helicopter is much more expensive than Tang Dashao expected......
The Zheng family also has helicopters, but when they bought their helicopters, they only looked like thousands of helicopters, and the helicopter selected by Tang Dashao was quoted nearly 100 million yuan online, but Tang Dashao also knew that this was just an offer, and there must be some to talk about, but the final price is estimated to be no less than 70 million......
As for the jet plane, because the distance from Haishi to the capital of Xinjiang is quite long, I am afraid that it will take four or five hours to arrive on the plane, so Tang Dashao plans to choose a more luxurious one.
Boeing BBJ3 business jet has become Tang Dashao's first choice!
Boeing's name does not need to be repeated, many civil airliners are using Boeing aircraft, such as the most famous Boeing 737, Boeing 747 and so on.
It's just that the price of this Boeing BBJ3 business jet is really not cheap......
The price is 560 million......
Even if you can talk about the price, the final transaction price may not be less than 500 million, and the sum of the two planes is almost 600 million......
Fortunately, there is no need to invite any captains in the future, Ah Hu Ah Leopard, and Ye Jun can pull one out at random, almost all of them are competent, and they don't need to ask for a flight attendant, after all, they still have a lot of secrets on this plane.
The standard of the Boeing BBJ3 business jet is 23, with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers enough to make a round trip from Haishi to Xinjiang, and a speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour, which can ensure that too much time will not be wasted on the road.
Of course, for the number of standard seats, Tang Dashao is a little dissatisfied, only twenty-three, it is not easy to go to Xinjiang, Tang Dashao does not want to run back and forth, look at the introduction on the Internet, the space in the plane is very large, there are lounges, restaurants, etc., when the time comes, you can let them modify it slightly, reduce some rest space, add some seats, it should not be very difficult to think.
According to Tang Dashao's idea, at least forty seats are needed to meet his needs, and more than twenty seats are too few.
After deciding on the model, Tang Dashao didn't care, and placed an order directly on the Internet, the helicopter paid a deposit of 20 million, and the Boeing BBJ3 business jet paid a deposit of 100 million......
The last time I went to the dog ring, I got more than 10 million, and I didn't spend it at all, but now I paid more than 100 million yuan just for the deposit, and 10 million is a gross use, so it seems that I still have to find a way to open up new sources of wealth......
However, at this time and a half, where can you go to extort a sum of money back?
Without waiting for Tang Dashao to think about it, a transoceanic call from the United States came directly......
No way, it's too tyrant......
It's not that there are no people who place orders online, but generally speaking, they are now through customer service to understand, and then talk about the price, interior, modification, etc......
After everything is negotiated, the order will be officially placed, the deposit will be paid, and the aircraft company will start to build for you.
Like this, there is no news, and hundreds of millions of deposits are directly paid, which is something that their company has never encountered......
Even if the deposit is paid, if the construction of the aircraft has not yet started, and the customer is not satisfied or intends to return it, the deposit can still be refunded, and a certain handling fee will be charged in the middle, no one will use this way to book the aircraft......
After all, money is a thing, everyone knows that it is easy to get in and out, if you don't pay a deposit, all kinds of things can be discussed, and if you pay money, it's not easy to talk about it, who let your money be pressed here......
Of course, Tang Dashao didn't know much about this process, so he directly placed an order first, anyway, sooner or later, it would have to be delivered, and it didn't matter when it was delivered......
Michelle, the manager of the customer service department, was bored playing games, and suddenly received a call from his subordinates, saying that there was a high roller from Huaxia who directly ordered a Boeing BBJ3 business jet, and did not even have a consulting process, so he paid a deposit of 100 million......
This had to shock him......
After all, the price of the Boeing BBJ3 business jet is really high, which is nearly 100 million dollars in rice, and the annual maintenance cost is as high as more than one million, such a high price, although the Boeing BBJ3 business jet is very famous, but there are not many people who order, and now there is a high roller from China, he naturally has to receive it in person, in order to show his sincerity!
"Hello, distinguished guest from Huaxia, I am Michelle, the customer service manager of Boeing from Mi China!"
The first-class fluent Huaxia came out of the phone, but it still sounded a little wrong in the middle, and it was already very good to think that a foreigner could say it like this......
"Hehe, hello, Mr. Michelle!" Tang Dashao chuckled softly.
"You should be Mr. Tang, you just ordered a Boeing BBJ3 business jet from our company on the official website, right?" Michelle Road.
"That's right, that's right." Tang Dashao nodded.
"Mr. Tang is really discerning, this Boeing BBJ3 business jet of our company is a ......"
Immediately afterwards, Michel began to talk about the various benefits of the Boeing BBJ3 business jet, and Tang Dashao listened to it with relish, after all, it was the first time to buy an airplane, and he spent so much money......
And Michelle is the same, you can't let customers feel that their money is spent a little wrongfully, otherwise, where will the repeat customers come......
Especially the Boeing BBJ3 business jet is not a toy plane, people who can afford such an aircraft often have this group of people who can afford it, a customer can not take care of it, it is equivalent to the loss of a group of potential customers, which they are very clear about!
"Well, that's a good point, but I have a request, I don't know if it's okay?" Tang Dashao asked softly.
"Mr. Tang, please speak!" Michelle Road.
"Well, there are too few seats in the plane, the standard is only twenty-three, I hope you can help me modify it, increase it to forty!" Tang Da Shaodao.
"That's perfectly fine, but the space inside the plane is always limited, so it will reduce the size of the living room, galley and other places accordingly!" Michelle Road.
"It doesn't matter, in addition, the interior layout of the cabin, I hope to be able to follow Huaxia's habits." Tang Da Shaodao.
"This is not a problem at all, we have designers from your country in our company, and we can definitely meet your needs!" Mihil Road.
The above is no problem, Tang Dashao wants to talk about the price again, after all, it is not easy to make money, and it is a little bit to be able to talk about it......
