Chapter 444: Tang Zheng's Plane (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
As one of the world's leading financial and economic centers, Zhonghai City is one of the world's leading financial and economic centers. The world's major aviation equipment manufacturing companies have branches or offices in China Shipping. Even if it's not in Zhonghai, it's in the capital. However, it is common to have a representative office in China Shipping.
It's not difficult to find the contact details of these companies. Tang Zheng also talked to Song Yan about buying a plane. For Tang Zheng's proposal, Lao Qi did not have any objections, and Datang Pharmaceutical's side, with the production of scar removal liquid in the Jingzhou factory is about to begin. This kind of running on both sides has more time. If you buy a special plane, it can indeed be much more convenient. As for the cost of the flight, whether it is for the current Datang Pharmaceutical or Tang Zheng, this is not a big problem.
The letter of inquiry was sent to major companies in the name of Datang Pharmaceutical. This also includes large aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing.
After getting this news, all of a sudden, all the aircraft manufacturing companies in Shijie took action. Who Tang Zheng is, it is not difficult to know, even if he didn't know at the time, but as long as he investigates casually, he can know who it is. As for Datang Pharmaceutical, the same is true, a global authorized production tender for tonifying qi soup is enough to make these companies pay attention. This is definitely an extremely quality customer. It's the kind of customer who really has the ability to buy.
Three days later, representatives from five or six companies from all over Shijie gathered at China Shipping, including large companies such as Airbus and Boeing, as well as well-known foreign business jet manufacturers such as Bombardier, Gulfstream, and Embraer.
In the choice of aircraft, the choice of the old lady is simpler. The main thing for the old lady to buy a plane is a gimmick. Xianyin Entertainment buys a business jet. Then, it will surely become the first entertainment company in China to buy a business jet.
The main user groups of aircraft. In addition to the high-level executives of Xianyin Entertainment, there are only first-line stars of Xianyin Entertainment.
So. The plane doesn't need to be too big, and brands like Bombardier, Gulfstream, and Hawker will do. In terms of selection, in the end, Tang Xian'er and Gu Nan discussed and chose the Gulfstream's 500 model. The maximum number of passengers in this model can reach more than a dozen.
If the specified number of people is 8, the range can reach more than 10,000 kilometers. This is a long-range business jet. Basically, the main flight routes of Xianyin Entertainment are concentrated in China, and appropriate modifications are carried out to reduce the space in the baggage compartment. Add some extra seats. It is fully able to adapt to the needs of domestic aviation.
In terms of price, Gu Nan has also reached a consensus with Gulfstream, and the price of $40 million fully reflects the sincerity of Gulfstream. What's more, the speed of delivery is within half a year. This is what attracts Gu Nan the most.
As we all know, there is a long process involved in the purchase of an aircraft. From booking to delivery. One year or two is a common thing, and three years is also very normal.
In the choice of the company's business jet, in the end, Tang Zheng still chose the Airbus A320. This is an Airbus narrow-body twin-engine aircraft. It is also very famous in China. It is used by all major airlines. In terms of maintenance, it will be very convenient.
In the design of the interior of the cabin, twenty business seats were reserved, in the back. There is a living room as well as a luxury suite. This model, in fact, is designed for businesses. As a special plane for enterprises. Sometimes. If you travel as a whole. You need to have a big team, that's it. This design can meet most of the company's needs.
The estimated delivery time is about a year later.
β¦β¦
Datang Pharmaceutical Zhonghai Headquarters. In the spacious and bright conference room, a group of five representatives of Airbus sat opposite Tang Zheng, this time, because it was Tang Zheng's private jet purchase. The company did not intervene. Accompanying Tang Zheng were Li Fei and other four daughters.
"Mr. Tang, first of all, thank you very much for choosing our products. I believe that with the previous cooperation. Our conversation is sure to be very pleasant. "The man at the head is a representative of Airbus China.
As he spoke, the man took out five materials and handed them to Tang Zheng and the others, the whole material was very meticulous and preceded by a text introduction, including a series of data such as the number of engines, fuselage length, wing width, runway take-off and landing length, and maximum range. In the back, there is a description of the layout of the cabin, which is also equipped with exquisite color page photos.
"Mr. Tang, I believe you, you know it too. Our products have a large customer base in China. Including China's major airlines, we have our products. So, choose our products. It can fully guarantee that there will not be too much trouble in the future after-sales and maintenance of the aircraft. In addition, most airports in China can adapt to the take-off and landing of aircraft. This is undoubtedly one of the biggest advantages. β
The area of the entire cabin reached 248 square meters, and the cabin volume reached 217 cubic meters. The entire aircraft has 37 seats. In addition, there is a bar, entertainment room, luxury suite, shower room and living room. Inside the cabin, there are three separate toilets designed. Among them, the Deluxe Suite has a separate private bathroom. Because the aircraft is a wide-body, short-fuselage design. It can adapt to the take-off and landing of any medium-sized airport in China. With a maximum range of more than 14,000 kilometers, you can basically fly anywhere you want to go from where you are now, without any pauses.
It has to be said that Airbus is much more sincere in its treatment of Chinese customers than the representatives of Boeing. Boeing's business jets, at present, have only two models, BBJ, and BBJ2, and it is said that the BBJ3 is already being developed. However, there is still a big difference between the speed of delivery and the decoration and use of space.
The color pages prepared by Airbus alone are enough to show the difference. Everything on the coloring page is exquisite. At the front of the cabin, there are a total of eighteen first-class seats. The difference is no different from the first class of a normal airliner.
Because it's a wide-body aircraft. So, the seats are all distributed in three rows. The aisle on one side is blocked. Then to the back, the aisle turned a Z-shaped turn. Here is the distribution of luxury suites. Further down the aisle is the living room, with a beige sofa and coffee table. A full range of entertainment and audio-visual equipment, as well as wireless WIFI and satellite phones. Next to the living room is a bar and dining room. And then later. Twelve more business class seats.
The whole decoration is very simple in style. But in this simplicity, there is a kind of luxury and sophistication. I have to say. The whole dΓ©cor is still very nice.
It's not just Tang Zheng who is satisfied. Li Fei and the girls next to her were very satisfied. At this time, Tang Zheng also said slowly: "Mr. Leahy, may I ask, what is your offer." β
The representative who came this time was Fabregas, the senior representative of Airbus Asia Pacific? Leahy. Hearing Tang Zheng's words, Lexi was also a little happy, this is not like doing other business. Such high-quality customers, as long as they have such intentions, will basically have great success. It's not like buying a car, it's possible. Just take a look, but anyone who wants to buy an aircraft is often the kind of person who is not bad for money.
Immediately, Leahy also spoke: "Mr. Tang, I have always believed that Airbus has always put the needs of customers first, money, this should not be an obstacle to communication between us, right?" This one of the planes. If you need it, you can fly over in half a month. In terms of price, it is naturally more expensive. 1.75 billion RMB is required. β
Hearing this number, Tang Zheng immediately frowned. At this price, it is really not cost-effective. You know, even if it's the A380 Sky Palace. The market price of the most high-end product is only about 2 billion.
Look at Leahy. Tang Zheng said slowly: "Mr. Leahy, I heard that the purchase of an aircraft often requires a reservation, after receiving an order from a customer. You will assemble it at the aircraft assembly plant. Then, according to the customer's design needs, the layout and design decoration of the cabin are carried out. Is it? β
Speaking of this, it immediately made Leahy's face a little embarrassed, and he said with a sneer: "Mr. Tang, you are really a shrewd person. Well, I admit that this plane was specially ordered before. However, because of bankruptcy and some other reasons. The order was cancelled. But that's not a problem, is it? You and the ladies love this design. Isn't that enough? β
Speaking of this, Lexi paused, looked at Tang Zheng and said, "Mr. Tang, if you think about it, you can save two or even three years of time, which is incomparable to others." In addition, the price, 1.6 billion, which can not be less. β
Whoever says fucking foreigners is upright. The Leahy in front of him is not so straightforward. Do you really think you are wronged? Such an aircraft. Reservations are often received, and depending on the value of the aircraft, the amount of the advance payment is about 30 per cent of the total value of the aircraft. That is, they collected at least 450 million from their previous customers, or even more. Then, it was sold to itself for another 1.6 billion, which added up to be more expensive than the A380.
According to the agreement they signed. If the other party is unable to pay the subsequent payment, the previous deposit will not be refunded. Other words. The money is entirely earned by them.
Tang Zheng immediately said: "Mr. Leahy, you can't count it like this, you have to know." While we omit time, we are also deprived of the joy of our own design. You know, we Chinese, there will always be some of our national characteristics and ideas. So be it, 1.3 billion, if we can, we can sign the contract now. If not, I'll have to think about rebooking or looking for Boeing. β
Having said that, Leahy didn't particularly insist, and groaned slightly. agreed to it, just as Tang Zheng said. They've already collected 500 million dollars. Now, if another 1.3 billion is sold, this is much higher than the average level. There was no reason why Leahy wouldn't agree. After all, this kind of business jet is not something that can find a buyer casually. Then he nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Tang." So, what pattern are you going to spray on the fuselage? β
This time, before Tang Zheng could speak, Li Fei said, "Just call Tang Zheng." (To be continued......)
PS: In the midst of the sadness, I will send it two times in a row, and then ask for the support of my brothers, and there will be an update later.
