"Director Teodor, can you tell us about the price range of an advanced airship like the Dawn?" After hearing what Director Teodor said about the rules that airships can be sold if they are used in the non-military field, most people breathed a sigh of relief, and some people asked.

Seeing that someone had already taken the bait, Director Theodor replied unhurriedly: "Everyone, you must also know that it is not easy to build such an airship that can cross the entire world. If it is the previous two generations of airships, it is fine, but the current state-of-the-art AU-3 airship, which has cost more than 60,000 pounds, should be sold for about 80,000 pounds. ”

Doing business with capitalists will naturally lead to as much as you can. Even if the real cost of the Dawn airship is only more than 40,000 pounds, it will not affect the sky-high price of Teodor.

But to be honest, even if the final sale price is really around 80,000 pounds, there is still a lot of room for the aviation industry to grow.

The price of a ticket for the Dawn airship is as high as tens of thousands of dollars, which is at least 2,000 pounds.

Even without the gimmick of the first circumnavigation of the world, it shouldn't be too difficult to keep fares above £1,000.

Anyway, for at least a decade or so, the use of airships to circumnavigate the world is only the standard for the rich and nobles.

Ordinary people who want to sail around the world, except for taking a very slow cruise ship, may only be able to achieve it in their dreams.

If the price of an airship ticket is 1,000 pounds, an airship can sell 58 tickets, which is 58,000 pounds.

In this way, you only need to make two round-the-world voyages, and you can earn back all the cost of buying an airship with the airship tickets sold to the outside world, or even make a small profit.

Even if the drop in ticket prices is even more severe, at least £500 is still available. The fare of a voyage can also make a profit of nearly 30,000 pounds, plus the cost of various services provided on the airship, and the airline wants to recoup its capital as easily as eating and drinking.

"Director Theodor, I wonder when your firm will be able to officially reach a cooperation with the outside world? Truth be told, I already have plans to set up an airline. If you allow it, we can place an order for at least ten airships immediately. A man dressed as an English nobleman, after hearing the official offer of the airship, couldn't wait to say to Director Teodor.

While the round-the-world journey is still hot, the airship ticket price should be able to stay above £1,000 for a while.

This also means that the sooner you can set up an airline and start flights, the sooner you can be the first to share the cake.

Although the current market for airship navigation is only high-ranking officials and nobles in Europe, America and all over the world, as well as capitalists with huge wealth in their hands.

But the number of dignitaries and capitalists in all countries of the world combined is also extremely terrifying, and it is fully capable of feeding the aviation industry.

Especially since the U.S. economy has developed, the U.S. and Europe have become more connected.

Fleets on both sides of the Atlantic can be seen everywhere, and if you can replace a cruise ship with an airship, I believe that many European and American dignitaries and capitalists are very willing.

What's more, in addition to carrying people, airships are also good at carrying cargo.

With a full load weight of up to 40 tons, airships are one of the best means of small-scale transportation, and they are very fast, even ahead of trains.

Moreover, airships only need an open space to take off and land. And trains not only need to build tracks and train stations, but also need to maintain the tracks frequently, otherwise the train will derail.

Compared with these two modes of transportation, everyone here only feels that the two modes of transportation of trains and cruise ships are simply weak.

Even some capitalists and dignitaries who had no plans to start an airline could not help but have the idea of buying a private airship.

After all, airships are a real time-saver. With hundreds of people on board, it took only one month and eleven days to travel around the world and take a lot of detours.

If you only take a few dozen people and travel around the world at the fastest speed, I am afraid it will not take more than a month without taking a detour.

Under the talk of everyone, this banquet, which was supposed to be a celebration banquet for the Aviation Research Institute, suddenly turned into a banquet for foreign capitalists and the Aviation Research Institute.

Director Theodor was relieved to see that many people were interested in airships.

Because according to Arthur, at least half of all the profits earned from the sale of airships this time will be invested in the aviation research laboratory for the research and development and manufacture of airplanes and airships.

What Director Theodor did not expect was that the 80,000 pounds he was asking for was taken for granted by these foreign capitalists.

They didn't even have any intention of haggling, which made the director of Theodor think that the pound had depreciated.

You know, if you look at the selling price of 80,000 pounds, a blimp Australasia can make a profit of 40,000 pounds.

For every 50 airships sold, Australasia is able to build a super-dreadnought. This kind of behavior of spending other people's money to expand their own armaments is just one word, cool!

Is 50 airships really too much? Director Teodor carefully observed the people around him, and even had the illusion that these people had a monopoly on as many airships as they built in aviation research.

In fact, this is normal, if you can completely monopolize the aviation industry, the profit you can earn is much higher than simply opening an airline.

After monopolizing the airline industry, at least the price of the airship can be determined by itself, which can be directly related to the profit of the airline.

However, this does not matter to Australasia at this time, after all, only Australasia can build an airship that can travel around the world.

With such technology, at least for a short time, Australasia had a monopoly on airship construction.

Using this time to make enough profit for the royal consortium and the aviation laboratory is what Director Theodor is currently planning.

Well, Director Teodor isn't actually greedy either. If we can take this opportunity to create a budget of at least three million pounds for the aviation laboratory, we have already met the expectations of Director Theodor.

Three million pounds would require the sale of at least 75 airships to make that much profit.

But looking at the capitalists surrounding him in front of him, and thinking about the sensation caused around the world after the news of Australasia's intention to sell airships exploded around the world, Director Teodor felt that this figure was not very exaggerated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, theoretically, our aviation research institute is fully capable of mass production of airships. However, there should be some time before we make sufficient preparations for formal foreign cooperation. If you wish, you can go to the Aviation Research Laboratory tomorrow to sign the contract for the purchase of airships, see the airship production line of the Aviation Research Laboratory, and so on. Director Theodor explained with a smile.

"If nothing else, we should be able to sell the first batch of airships after the Olympics. But because of the limited scale of production, the number of airships in the first batch should not be too much, and the maximum should not exceed 20. But rest assured, when we have expanded our production line, the second batch of airships will be in intensive production. Although the director of Theodor wants to take advantage of the popularity of traveling around the world to sell a large number of airships to the outside world to make enough profits.

However, the appropriate hunger marketing is also necessary, if the number of airships sold at one time is too large, the production line will not be able to keep up, and the effect will be far less good than that of hunger marketing.

Anyway, the purchase order needs to be signed in advance, but the production speed of the airship is so fast. This will not only increase the desire of these capitalists for airships, but also make them more generous when throwing money at it.

The second more, ask for support, ask for a monthly pass!
