Chapter 202: Turning Point
After two days of careful study, Shakru decided that he could not buy the Prime Minister One. First of all, "the standing height in the cabin is 1.65 meters", which Shakru absolutely can't accept, with his height of nearly 1.8 meters, he has to hunch his waist in and out of the cabin of 1.65 meters, not to mention the inconvenience when going to the bathroom, he can't spend millions of dollars to find guilt for himself, right? And none of his several beautiful female bodyguards are less than 1.7 meters tall, so such a model should be more suitable for the Japanese than for him.
On the other hand, there are too few seats in the cabin, and only five people can sit including the pilot, what is this enough? Not to mention that the total range of one-time fuel is only 2435 kilometers, which is a distance that is impossible to carry out intercontinental voyages.
The other Hawker 800XP made him more satisfied, not only has low requirements for the length of the runway, but also can take off and land from gravel or grass, which makes it possible to use it in many domestic airports that are not enough standards; And the Hawker's cabin is the largest of all midsize jets, with different seating layouts that can carry six to ten passengers, and plenty of headtop space.
What's even more exciting is that the Hawker can reach a maximum range of 4,800 kilometers, which is farther than any other midsize business jet, so that even in places like the United States and the United Kingdom, you only need to refuel once, which is very practical for Shaklough.
Take another look at the information "The world's best-selling luxury mid-size business jet, the aircraft is equipped with the world's most advanced electronic flight and navigation system, the cabin is equipped with a central bar, high-end toilets, leather all-round adjustable seats and flight dynamic display, hi-fi, DVD and other advanced entertainment facilities, in terms of performance can be completely comparable to the Boeing 747 large passenger aircraft, after takeoff, quickly climb to the smooth airflow layer above 10,000 meters, reduce the possibility of turbulence"
Although the plane was as high as $11 million, Shakru still decided to buy one, after all, he would rather spend a little more money than buy a good one, so Shakru asked Mukesh to help contact Raytheon's US headquarters and asked to buy a Hawker 800XP business jet.
Buying a private jet is definitely a big business, even a large company like Raytheon has only sold more than 500 high-roller private jets around the world, and they have to produce according to the customer's preference, height and various requirements.
Raytheon attaches great importance to Shaklu's order, and specially sent an expert named Tom to fly from the United States to New Delhi to discuss some specific matters with Shaklu, including the specific configuration in the cabin, etc., so that Shakru can experience the feeling that a real customer is God.
The only regret is that for Shakru's request to deliver as soon as possible, Tom said that there is nothing he can do, because the production time of an aircraft must be at least eight months, after all, this is something that flies in the sky, and the requirements are very strict from the technical level, and they have to conduct many tests, they have to be responsible for the safety of the guests, Shakru thinks about it, you can't use yourself as a test pilot, right?
But fortunately, just as Shakru and Tom discussed the requirements and configuration for the high roller, and were waiting to sign the contract and then pay the deposit, Tom suddenly made a phone call: "Dear Mr. Pandit, I have news for you, maybe you will be interested?" ”
"Message? What's the news? Tom, you're not telling me that your planes are going to go up, are you? Shakru said jokingly.
"No, no, we Thor are credible, and if the price increases, we will hold a press conference in advance." Tom explained to Shakru very seriously, and then continued: "Well, we have a Wall Street client who ordered a Hawker private jet from our company last year, but unfortunately, he recently went bankrupt, so he didn't have the money to pay for the plane. Now the aircraft is parked on our company's test apron and has passed safety monitoring and is fully compliant with safety standards."
Before he could finish speaking, Shakru interrupted him and asked, "Wait, Tom, do you mean that this plane will be mine now if I want to?" While asking him, he complained in his heart, this style of speaking around the bend and in circles is the patent of the Chinese, where did you learn it as an American? Just ask me if I'd like to buy it, and that's it.
"Mr. Pandit, you are so smart, if I were a lady, I would definitely consider marrying you" Tom's sycophant Shakru was very speechless, as far as Tom's level of speech and urgent tone, as long as he was a person with a normal brain, he could hear what he meant, isn't it that someone else paid a deposit to pre-order the plane, but now there is no money to buy it, does Thor want to sell it.
"Mr. Pandit, you can take a look at the configuration of this aircraft first, and if you have other needs, we can help you modify it for free." Tom heard that Shakru on the other end of the microphone did not speak, and hurriedly said what the company asked him to convey.
You must know that Raytheon's customer base is almost the richest group of people on the planet. These wealthy people generally have special personalities, and also have their own understanding and cognition of beautiful things, and the reason why they are willing to spend more money to order private jets is to meet their own special needs. For example, the height of the cabin, the interior decoration, etc., are all customized according to personal preferences.
And every private jet sold by Raytheon is also tailor-made for everyone, so the plane left by the bankrupt Wall Street tycoon has given Raytheon a bit of a headache, they have asked several guests, but no one is willing to take over the plane.
"Mr. Pandit, if you are willing, I can show you the parameters and pictures of this aircraft, and the price can also be discounted."
In fact, in such a situation, the company will modify the aircraft to meet the needs of other customers under the condition of ensuring that the main model remains unchanged, but then the cost will be much higher. Tom's current intention to attract Shackloo is to see if he can sell it without making major changes. Because Shakru once expressed his desire to get the plane as soon as possible.
