"That kind of plane is ......" Pointing to the kind of aircraft with a tail crane engine layout, Lin Zheng curiously said to George, who had been following obediently and had no sense of existence. Clooney asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Sir, that's McDonnell Douglas DC-9 civil aircraft," said George. Clooney deserves to eat the bowl of rice of aircraft modification, just took a look at it, and immediately judged the general situation of these aircraft: "It should be DC-9-30, this aircraft was discontinued as early as the early 80s, most of this aircraft has been withdrawn from active service, the world's major airlines are basically gone, in addition to some small airlines that are sold to the third world, some have been converted into cargo planes." ”

This girl didn't care at all that the young owner of the plane was next to her, and no one was commenting on these planes.

Lin Zheng was a little surprised: "In other words, those planes are at least almost 20 years old?" ”

"Even if there are no 20 years, there will be seventeen or eighteen years." George. Clooney was unusually positive about the boss who would decide whether or not International Jet Conversion would be able to eat meat in the next year or two.

"Tsk......" Lin Zheng sighed a little.

20 years of age is not too long, such as this kind of medium and large civil aircraft, as long as the maintenance is in place, the normal service life is basically about 30 years, but in fact, this kind of civil aircraft in African countries overdue service is quite common, Lin Zheng in Africa and Latin America has seen a DC-3 piston propeller aircraft produced in the 50s in the flying of hi skin.

Lin Zheng didn't have the courage to take the plane that looked tattered, the wind was blowing, and he didn't know how long it had not been maintained, but looking at those African and Latin American passengers, they were squeezing up with large bags and small bags on their faces with smiles on their faces. It seems that he does not care at all that this plane could turn into a subway to heaven at any time.

Lin Zheng was a little emotional, but Chen Daliang's face was a little unbearable. A little sneering said to Lin Zheng: "Actually, we are preparing to replace these DC-9s with 6 latest Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 757, but unfortunately the financial crisis came when no one could have imagined it......"

Lin Zheng patted Chen Daliang on the shoulder: "I can understand." ”

Chen Daliang's father was originally ambitious and ready to take advantage of these six Boeing 747-400s. Reverse people's image of Philippine Airlines as a "third-rate airline", but unexpectedly, the Asian financial crisis came at this time, not only Chen Yongzhi's Asian beer suffered a heavy blow, Philippine Airlines had to cancel the previous order, but the order was not so easy to cancel, Chen Laotou desperately wanted to raise 200 million US dollars, a considerable part of which was to pay compensation to Boeing.

Speaking of Boeing, Boeing is definitely the saddest day now, why do you say that? The reason is because of the hardness of the financial crisis. Almost all the airlines in the world have orders to cancel, and those that have not been canceled have also asked Boeing to postpone deliveries, since the outbreak of the financial crisis, Boeing has accumulated a total of 1,786 orders for aircraft that need to be postponed and have not yet been delivered!

1786!

This is not a year's worth of capacity...... Boeing's production capacity can't be so awesome...... In order to be able to sell as many planes as possible, the Boeing guys even did not hesitate to use political resources to intervene in the aircraft transaction through political weight.

A concrete example is the decision of the Israeli national airline some time ago to buy 5 aircraft. The models that the Israeli national airlines are looking for are Airbus's A319 and A320 aircraft and Boeing's Boeing and Airbus's aircraft, which are roughly similar, with similar capacity and similar prices, although Airbus offers a slightly lower price.

In order to be able to sell the plane. Boeing and Airbus have been offering sweet promises of benefits, and the Israeli national airline is wondering: Who should it give the order worth more than $200 million?

At this time, the advantage of the United States as Israel's "suzerain" was revealed. Boeing began lobbying the government to use political leverage to put pressure on Israel: Washington provided Israel with a $10 billion loan. The Israeli side must return the favor to the United States, based on this. The Israeli national airline should and must choose Boeing aircraft.

Therefore, a few days ago, the Israeli defense minister, on behalf of the Israeli government, expressed his attitude on behalf of the Israeli government: "In view of the close relations between the United States and Israel, I hope to know the company's intention to purchase aircraft at any time."

In this way, the aircraft order fell to Boeing with great difficulty.

In a word, it's not easy for everyone to live.

Lin Zheng's words made Chen Daliang a little crying and laughing, shook his head, pointed to the two planes on the far left and said to Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, those two are the Boeing 737-400 you are interested in," he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other people who came with the team: "These are the maintenance engineers of the aircraft, you can tell them anything you want to see." ”

Lin Zheng nodded to these maintenance engineers: "A few troubles." ”

These engineers obviously knew Lin Zheng's identity for a long time, but they didn't expect Lin Zheng to be so polite to him, so he was immediately flattered, and hurriedly said: "You are too polite, Mr. Lin, which plane do you want to start watching?" ”

Lin Zheng didn't really care about starting with that one, anyway, he had to look at both of them, so he casually pointed to the outermost one and said, "Just that one, it's more convenient." ”

Looking at the silver-white painted plane in front of him, Lin Zheng had to sigh when he thought that the price of a Boeing 737 could soar to more than $70 million in a few years...... Nima's exclusive business is easy to do.

Although Boeing has repeatedly claimed that the price increase is due to the increase in spare parts prices and labor prices, Lin Zheng does not believe Boeing's nonsense - did he not see that the price of the same car in 2010 was cheaper than the price in 1998?

"Yes sir, Bobby, Angie. Follow me......"

For George. For Clooney, Lin Zheng didn't have a problem from the plane. Anyway, he has to see these relatively new Boeing 737-400s one by one...... No way, the financial crisis has arrived. Everyone's life is not good, if you don't work hard, this order will fall into someone else's pocket.

………………

Philippine Airlines' maintenance engineers are really professional, and they even drove a special ground electrical support vehicle, connected the external power supply, and turned on the air conditioning system and lighting system in the plane, so that Lin Zheng and others could take a good look.

Although Lin Zheng is a complete amateur of this thing, he can still see through the instrument system in the cockpit that the condition of this Boeing 737-400 is indeed very new. As the first Boeing 737 to be equipped with the CFM56, a large bypass ratio turbofan engine, the fuel economy of this aircraft is also good.

Taking advantage of this effort, Lin Zheng told Benier: "Lao Bei, after the completion of the aircraft modification, it is not only the company's high-level travel and transportation, but also let this aircraft take on more of the role of motivating employees......

Lin Zheng said very carefully. There are also many requirements, and there is only one purpose, this aircraft belongs to all the employees of the entire ICQ company, not to the company's top management. Let every employee know that as long as they work hard, even if they are just a cleaner. Also eligible to use and enjoy this private jet.

Lin Zheng has always believed that only the boss who is willing to take the initiative to negotiate money with employees is a real good boss, and people work hard and hard. For what? Don't you just want to get more words in return from you? In the same way, the company bought a private jet. Employees know that this plane is only for the exclusive use of company executives, and they know that as long as they work hard, they and their families can enjoy this private jet, that feeling is completely different, and the resulting attitude towards work is also completely different, this is the purpose of Lin Zheng's purchase of this aircraft for modification, just like his current Gulfstream II-SP, although the plane is nominally Lin Zheng's, but Benier definitely takes more time than Lin Zheng.

Why did he insist on installing 70 seats on this plane? The purpose is also this, to bring as many people as possible, including employees, including their loved ones.

Benier's face was a little embarrassed, he really wanted to make this room a symbol of luxury for high-rise use at the beginning, but now the boss saw through his careful thinking, and hurriedly assured Lin Zheng that this plane must be used fairly for employee incentives...... Lao Bei actually understands in his heart that such an aircraft has a huge effect on the morale of the company's employees.

For Benier's little bit of caution, Lin Zheng didn't poke it, everyone knew this kind of thing, and it would be boring to poke it, when Lin Zheng and Benier were chatting happily, George. Clooney came with a frustrated face: "Sir, the height of the ground floor warehouse is only 1.25 meters, and it is very difficult for people to walk in it, and it feels very depressing, which is somewhat contrary to the original intention of private jet modification, so ......"

"That's it," Lin Zheng was a little disappointed in his heart, but then shook his head: "It's okay, if you can't change it, you can't change it, how is the overall state of this plane?" ”

"Excellent!" Hearing that Lin Zheng didn't care about this problem, George. Clooney breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up: "It's as strong as a bull!" ”

ps: I didn't find the detailed data of the 737 before, and the calculation was wrong, the diameter of the 737 cabin is 3.54 meters, and the height from the cabin to the ceiling is 2.20 meters, considering that the section of the 737 fuselage is relatively inconspicuous and vertically elliptical, removing the thickness of the floor, the height of the bottom floor should not exceed 1.5 meters, taking into account the needs of loading, the floor of the warehouse must be made into a plane, not an arc, and the actual height from the floor of the warehouse to the ceiling of the warehouse should be about 1.35 meters.

In fact, the size of the 737 rear hatch is 1.22mm*78mm, and the bottom cargo compartment can only load goods with a maximum height of 1.18 meters, and it was previously said that the 737 bottom cargo compartment can have a height of 1.8 meters.

I apologize.

I'll make changes to the previous chapters when I'm done tonight, and I'm sorry again. (To be continued......) r1292
