Chapter 1180: What's Wrong with the World? Are rich people burning money? (Four more, four more)

Adelaide is gone, and he can't drive the TU-134 business jet that is nominally his own today, because it takes some time to get a bank mortgage...... Yes, Adelaide bought this TU-134 is a bank loan, this situation is very common, in the United States, when buying large consumption, everyone is accustomed to using bank loans, Adelaide will naturally be no exception, even if his bank account is lying on the cash deposit of 30 million US dollars, he will also use bank loans, this is the consumption habits of Americans.

As soon as Adelaide left, Acton asked Lin Hongfei impatiently, "Mr. Lin, do you really plan to replace your Il-62 with 4 CFM56-5A turbofan engines produced by CFM International and a full set of accessories, as well as a new avionics system and aviation instrument system, and a new decoration of the interior?" ”

He was so impatient that he trembled with excitement: if what Mr. Lin said was true, this was not a $20 million business, but a business of at least $30 million...... To be able to do this next business, I have at least $1.5 million this year alone!

Maybe more!

Money is the first thing, and Mr. Acton can't help but be so excited.

"If you can convince CFM to sell me four CFM56-5A engines with engine maintenance for less than $4 million each, and help me get a complete avionics and instrumentation system for the Boeing 747, I'll do it with you." Lin Hongfei nodded affirmatively, "Modernization." ”

"It can't be! You said it, the market price of the CFM-5A series engine is between $4.25 million and $4.4 million......" Acton said as he felt like he had been tricked by Lin Hongfei.

But he quickly noticed a word in Lin Hongfei's words, "What did you say." You want to modernize this aircraft? ”

"Since you know that this is the market price, don't you know that there is a distribution price and a factory price in front of the market price?" Lin Hongfei interrupted him very unceremoniously, no way, who makes the rich is the uncle, now it is the uncle Lin Hongfei who pays the money, Uncle Lin Hongfei is naturally more angry, otherwise how can he be worthy of his identity, "And you have to understand that they don't just sell the engine to me, they bought the engine, and you also invited someone from CFM International to help me do the debugging and matching of the engine...... I don't have that much money to make...... As for the question of the modernization you talked about. You're right, it's modernization, a comprehensive modernization upgrade of aviation instrumentation systems, avionics systems, radar systems that meet American and European standards. ”

β€œYES!”

Acton clenched his fist hard, sure enough, it was a modern modification, and these things needed to be controlled by a computer. It's not something that these "coarse goods" of Russia can match...... Of course, what is most important to Acton is. The profits are also very considerable.

But he quickly adjusted his mood. After listening to Lin Hongfei's request, the designer has been frightened by the conclusion he has reached: even if the avionics system and aviation instrument system are used as much as possible, the original function can be used as much as possible. The price of the entire modification will not be less than 32 million US dollars......

At least $32 million......

He was frightened by the number he had calculated! This is almost the largest single business that my company has received since its establishment: last year, it took my company a whole year to make a total business volume of 5 million US dollars. Absorb at least $32 million in one business? It's like a dream!

The excitement in his heart made him want to shout out, and it took a lot of effort for him to suppress the ecstasy and excitement in his heart, and he wanted to explain these words to Lin Hongfei, "But if it is this level of modification, Mr. Lin, I must tell you that according to your modification requirements, the final price of this modification will exceed 30 million US dollars, are you sure you really want to do this?" ”

Acton would not tell Lin Hongfei that if he was willing to pay so much money for the modification of the Il-62, then he could have added a little more money to buy a brand-new Airbus A320...... Or just use this money to buy a second-hand Airbus A320 that has been used for two or three years, and maybe there is still a surplus in hand.

"$32 million?" Lin Hongfei frowned, "We'll discuss the price again, and you'll definitely have to come up with a detailed modification catalog and price list for me at that time, right?" ”

Lin Hongfei seemed to be surprised by this price, but it was not to the extent that it was unacceptable, which made Acton secretly relieved in his heart: he was really worried that his guest would be scared away by his offer.

"Yes...... Yes," Acton, who felt that his behavior was a little inappropriate, hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, please believe me, I didn't ask for a price indiscriminately, this offer is all well-founded." ”

"When the time comes, I just need to look at your quotation form, and then let someone compare it with me," Lin Hongfei waved his hand nonchalantly, "I only have one request." ”

"You say." Acton nodded hurriedly.

In the face of a super-rich man who can spend $32 million to modify an airplane, don't say that he makes a request, even if it is 10 or 100 requests, it is normal, do you think it is abnormal? If you can come up with at least $32 million to modify this plane, I think all your requirements are normal, and I will find a way to help you get any big star you want to sleep with.

"I'm going to involve my aeronautical design team all the way to this refit."

"Huh?" Acton's expression stiffened for a full five seconds before he blinked, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, what did you say?" ”

"I said, I want my aviation design team to participate in the whole process of this modification work, this is the premise of this cooperation, you agree, we will cooperate, if you disagree, then we will say bye-bye." Lin Hongfei's attitude is very tough, and there is no room for negotiation.

"I'm sorry, I can't answer you......" The excitement of receiving the big order just now has disappeared without a trace, Acton waved his hand almost in a panic, and replied in a panic, where has he ever seen such a request.

"You just let your boss answer," Lin Hongfei's attitude was still tough, "I'll give you three days to consider and contact the engine supplier to see if your ability can accept this order, if you can, I will give you a 1+1 order, if you can't take ......"

"How?" Acton swallowed and asked cautiously.

"Then change to a company that can take it." Lin Hongfei said, the sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the huge workshop, faintly, it seemed to be buzzing.

Acton suddenly shuddered, and then he heard Lin Hongfei's words just now, "Uh...... Mr. Lin, what do you mean by 1+1 contract? ”

"See that Il-62?" He pointed to another Il-62 parked not far outside, "If you take this order, and the results of the modification test are satisfactory to me, then you will automatically get the second Il-62 modification order." ”

"Same as this one?" Acton swallowed: if it is an order for two Il-62s, then everything must be won hard...... That's an order with a total value of no less than $65 million, and how many percent of companies in the U.S. can achieve an annual turnover of more than $65 million?

"No," Lin Hongfei smiled lightly, "It is changed according to the standard of Boeing 747-400, except that the power system still chooses the CFM56-5A turbofan engine, and the entire driving system is changed to the same two-person digital cockpit as the Boeing 747-400, using a new digital avionics instrument and color multi-function display, using the latest avionics equipment, and using the ACMS aircraft status monitoring system with ARINC429 data bus as the technology. Use the new Doppler Weather Radar...... If possible, I would also choose to add winglets. ”

"Ah......" Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Acton had completely fallen into a stupor, and after a long time, he opened his mouth stupidly, "Mr. Lin, do you know what this means?" Do you know how much it costs? ”

"I certainly know that this means replacing a full set of equipment, including displays, autopilots, communications, navigation, surveillance, maintenance, emergency and data management systems. In addition, there is a communication management unit, a satellite communication system, VHF and HF transceivers, VHF omnidirectional radios, ranging devices, automatic direction finders, multi-mode receivers, S-mode transponders, cockpit voice recorders, flight data recorders, emergency position transmitters, flight cockpit printers and data management units...... As long as the price is reasonable, there is no problem. ”

As for the price, Lin Hongfei shrugged, "I think the price of this set of equipment should not exceed 20 million US dollars, right?" Once fully retrofitted, the total project cost will not exceed $45 million...... Of course, this will only be available after you have successfully completed the conversion of your first Il-62. ”

Hearing this, Acton almost collapsed: the cost of the modification of the two planes was not $65 million as he had previously estimated, but almost $80 million...... What happened to this world? Is this how rich people burn money to play?

Of course, Lin Hongfei didn't burn too much money, if he had a choice, he would also hope not to burn it, but this money would not work if he didn't burn it. (To be continued......)
