Chapter 812: Building a Spaceship?
After knowing the existence of supersonic private jets, it was a little difficult for him to wait another year!
Since "Kitt" said that the construction of this supersonic private jet has begun to prototype, it means that the research and development has been completed, can he order it now?
With the experience of the lord sedan and the holographic smartphone, especially the fact that he was perfectly saved by "Kit" this time, the old Holson can be said to have reached unconditional trust in Aegis Industries!
Even the Thunderbolt Ranger "Kit", which only exists on TV and has intelligence and can drive automatically, has been manufactured by Aegis Industries, and it is not difficult to build a supersonic private jet that is stronger than the Concorde airliner decades ago, in the eyes of old Halson!
"Kit, can you order this supersonic private jet now?"
Old Halson asked impatiently.
"Kitt" was quick to respond.
"Aegis Industries has not released any news yet, but I can ask Aegis Industries through the user feedback system and wait for a reply."
Old Halson nodded.
"Good! You ask now, and if I can, I'm going to be the first to order one! ”
"Okay, sir, the problem has been reported."
The questions raised by Lao Halsen through the user feedback system of the premium holographic smartphone were quickly submitted to Chen Mo.
"How's the plane being built?"
Chen Mo asked Anna in front of him while looking at the supersonic private jet ordering questions that had already been asked by several premium holographic smartphone users in his hand.
Anna, who was in charge of Aegis Aerospace, immediately replied.
"The first prototype of the supersonic private jet has been basically assembled and is about to enter the final commissioning phase, which is expected to be ready for service within a week at most."
Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask.
"If I open a reservation, how long will it take?"
Anna was in charge of Aegis Machinery before, and participated in the construction of the second production line of Aegis Automobile throughout the whole process, and has accumulated a lot of experience in the production management of large-scale equipment, so she quickly gave an accurate answer to Chen Mo's questions.
"The first prototype was delayed due to the production of many parts and equipment, and the assembly personnel were not skilled, so it took a little longer, and if it was officially produced, as long as the order did not exceed three in the same period, the delivery time could be controlled within one month!"
"What about the cost?"
Chen Mo only handed over the design drawings and materials of the supersonic aircraft before, and did not ask too much, so he is really not clear about the cost of this supersonic private jet, since he plans to launch it on the market and price it, then he must consider the cost issue.
Anna didn't look at the tablet in her hand, she was already familiar with the numbers, and replied.
"Almost all the core components, raw materials and equipment such as jet engines and special aviation alloys used in supersonic private jets are all produced by Aegis Machinery itself, and the cost has been reduced a lot, but the expensive special alloys have increased the cost a lot, and the total cost of an aircraft is about 50 million, of which special alloys account for more than 30 million!"
Chen Mo knew in his heart when he heard this, just like the H-2 alloy of Aegis Motors, the new aviation special alloy used in supersonic private jets was also the Hydra technology that Chen Mo took out, and the real formula was only known to Chen Mo.
In fact, many precious metal materials finally ran into Chen Mo's space and became the raw material reserves of Edelman alloy and alpha alloy, the real cost of these powerful aviation special alloys is actually less than one-tenth, that is to say, the cost of the special alloy used in a supersonic private jet is less than three million, and the total cost is only about twenty million.
Of course, this fact is only known to Chen Mo himself!
"Do you have any suggestions for pricing?"
"The profit margin of an aircraft is generally about 10 percent, and if it is calculated according to the cost of 50 million, it is more appropriate to price 55 million to 60 million!"
Chen Mo smiled but didn't say anything when he heard this, and Anna saw that she remembered the boss's pricing and sales strategy for Aegis Motors, and immediately reacted and continued to add.
"However, these 50 million miles do not include the profits of Aegis Machinery Company."
"We can increase the cost of equipment procurement and parts processing by 20 million to increase the selling price to 80 million, and Aegis Machinery can offset this part of the profit through equipment depreciation, and there is no need to pay additional taxes!" However, the number of orders will definitely decrease a lot. ”
Chen Mo still didn't say anything, Anna gritted her teeth when she saw this, and continued.
"We can increase our profit margins and at the same time avoid taxes by expanding our scale and purchasing equipment from Aegis Machinery!"
Chen Mo is actually very satisfied with Anna, worthy of being a lawyer, and he didn't forget to help him avoid taxes when he raised the price, but Chen Mo did not accept her suggestions.
"Without such trouble, the price of this supersonic private jet is set at $150 million, and all the proceeds will be invested in the next step of spacecraft construction!"
Compared with the high price of 150 million mentioned by Chen Mo, the "spaceship" mentioned by Chen Mo shocked Anna even more!
$150 million private jets are not uncommon, but most of them are large aircraft, and their supersonic private jets are actually midsize business jets.
The price of medium-sized business jets is mostly around 20 million to 40 million US dollars, and there is hardly more than 100 million, but their supersonic medium-sized aircraft with a maximum speed of Mach 2.5 per hour, the price of 150 million is not so unacceptable, but the sales will inevitably drop a lot, but their boss never seems to worry about this, Chen Mo said how much, Anna just needs to do it.
But spaceships?
Although the name of their branch is Aegis Aerospace, Anna has always thought that like some other aircraft manufacturing companies named Aerospace Company, it is just to look powerful, and the spaceship or something is just for fun.
But now Chen Mo actually told her that the next step was to start the construction of the spaceship?
Their supersonic private jet has not yet been built on the production line, and the future sales are completely bottomless, Chen Mo is actually planning to build a spaceship now!
Struggling to control her emotions, Anna comforted herself.
"The boss must have proposed to build a spaceship in order to avoid taxes, and use all the profits on the research and development of spaceships!"
Just when Anna finally persuaded herself to look up at Chen Mo again, Chen Mo's words directly denied her thoughts!
