Chapter 902： Private jet and an engine (below)

Actually met a fan, Guo Tai came by surprise. But in fact, there is not much surprise. Mr. T still has a lot of fans in the United States, especially the cars he has designed in recent years, plus the Hummer cars improved for the US team, and from space. Jumping ** The feat of breaking through the speed of sound, among Americans, Mr. T has a lot of fans.

For his idol service, Mr. Martin devoted 120,000 points of enthusiasm for work. In just one day, he gave Guo Tailai a detailed analysis report with four matching schemes. Of course, Guo Tailai Xinkou said that each manufacturer's plan is also among them.

The other four options are the real suggestions of Mr. Martin. In fact, he does not recommend Guo Tai to purchase business jets so decentralized. From the perspective of driving and maintenance, multiple models require more personnel to learn to drive and maintain. From a financial perspective, this is actually for business The operating cost of an aircraft company is not very reasonable. The cost of personnel and maintenance is definitely higher than one or two aircraft.

It was learned that Guo Tailai had a Boeing bbj2 business jet and a Gulfstream V business jet. Mr. Martin's first proposal was to continue to use these two brands of aircraft, which could fully meet the demand. The second plan is to consider the Airbus family. After all, Guo Tailai and Airbus have also done business. The third model has more models, adding a Bombardier, and the others have no choice.

The solution proposed by Guo Tailai himself is the last one. It seems that the cost of purchasing the machine is the most economical, but the later maintenance cost is actually the highest. If you want to earn back the maintenance costs by operating costs, I am afraid it is very difficult.

According to Mr. Martin's explanation, although there are a lot of optional models, for customers, especially Huaxia customers, their experience in using business jets is not very rich, so they will only focus on a few of the most famous brands on. With more models, they do n’t know how to choose, and they have to let customers know the performance of the aircraft every time. This is actually a very bad customer experience.

Guo Tailai accepted Mr. Martin's suggestion and chose a compromise method. Boeing Airbus and Gulfstream three manufacturers. The big plane still chooses Boeing's bbj2, the same model as Guo Tailai's, but the interior decoration is more business and luxurious. The two intercontinental planes chose Airbus' acj319 business jet, which can take 19 people at a time, which is also a luxury business decoration. The remaining five small domestic routes are purchased from Gulfstream. Of course, these Gulfstreams can also fly back and forth to Europe when necessary.

In fact, the price is not so expensive. All old customers can get good discounts, especially Gulfstream. There are six aircrafts before and after. Can there be no discount in the past? Airbus also took a look at the two planes, and Mr. Martin specialised in bargaining and guaranteed a preferential price. Overall, the luxury decoration costs only 220 million US dollars. At this time, the US dollar is still quite valuable. The remaining $ 300 million is enough to set up the booth of the business jet company.

In fact, there is a more economical solution, which is to buy used aircraft or rent aircraft. But Guo Tailai did not plan to do that, and all ordered new machines. The construction of the airport will take at least one year. By then, the production and delivery of the aircraft will be available.

Of course, Guo Tailai's requirement to go to the manufacturer for a test ride is fully met, and the time can be agreed at any time, which is an absolute VIP treatment. I am afraid that every such aircraft company will have a vice president level reception at every aircraft company.

Jiayi Lin and Mr. Martin signed an agency agreement, and Mr. Martin began to contact three aircraft manufacturing companies with great interest. Guo Tailai continued to learn the driving of MiG-29.

Guo Tailai's learning progress is very fast. After flying with the coach for two days, he has begun to control the aircraft himself. In fact, from the first day, Guo Tailai tried to control the aircraft smoothly on the two-seater trainer for a period of time. After two consecutive days, he began to learn to take off and land under the supervision of the coach. genius.

Little Finn called over on the day of the accident in Las Vegas to greet Guo Tailai for his safety in Las Vegas and whether he would help. There are casino big players who obviously don't need to intervene.

This time after Guo Tailai asked Mr. Martin to start purchasing planes, Xiaofenen called again and asked Guo Tailai what he meant. It wasn't until Guo Tailai told him that he had set up a private commercial airport and wanted to set up a business jet company.

"Well, with so many aircraft orders, the airworthiness certificate of your helicopter will be approved faster." Xiao Fen is very happy that Guo Tai has placed so many orders. There are six in the United States alone. Boeing and Gulfstream is an American company, which is a good thing, but Xiao Fen still has some regrets: "Why have to buy Airbus? Boeing will give you a discount here, and the price can be won!"

"There are friends over there, always give some face." Guo Tailai explained with a smile, and in turn said to Xiao Fen: "If you are willing to sell bone (b-one) or Valkyrie, I am absolutely willing to use the appropriate How about the price? Learn about Ukraine, MiG 29 is sold, remove weapons and radar, think about it? "

"G, you know that's impossible." Little Finn grinned again. He knows that Guo Tailai likes to enjoy the feeling of supersonic speed. This is not the first time that Guo Tailai wants to buy a b1b strategic bomber or Valkyrie. He actually wanted to whimsically change these two aircraft into private jets.

"Then I can only develop a supersonic airliner myself." Guo Tailai got a negative answer again, and also smiled bitterly: "I don't want Concorde or Figure 144."

"It's up to you." Anyway, Guo Tailai had already said that. Xiao Fen was already surprised, and asked curiously, "Which engine do you plan to choose? Which country do you think will sell to you?"

"I don't know, what advice my R & D staff will give me at that time." Of course Guo Tailai won't tell Xiao Fen now, but his latter question made Guo Tailai think of a novel product: "Ruo Luo is not Already sold to me mt30? Maybe Ge will be tempted at that time, who knows? "

"Then you work hard!" Xiao Finn did not say anything. After all, if Guo Tailai is going to make a civilian passenger plane, as long as he has one or two engines, it is still very likely.

"Ah, speaking of Luo Luo, I suddenly thought of one of their small engines." Guo Tailai smiled suddenly: "Fin, thank you for reminding me, I think I can make something fun after returning to China."

"What is it?" Little Finn was interested. "Can I know first?"

"Ha! Keep your curiosity!" Guo Tailai cheerfully rejected Xiao Finn: "Look forward to making it earlier! Well, some guys will like it."
