Back To 1995: Chapter 657 gold swallower
Chapter 657 Gold Swallowing Beast
"Airbus A319?"
Hearing the movement, Gallo rushed over and looked at John Ray with bright eyes. In Gallo's impression, private jets are the symbols of wealthy families, such as Bill Gates, Kenneth of Enron Group, and those America's well-known giants all have private jets.
Of course, if you find some models, celebrities, etc. to hold an air party on a private plane, it will be even more exciting.
"Why not Airbus A320?" Gallo said with some dissatisfaction, the Bruno family's first private jet, of course, the bigger the better.
When Lei Yi heard Gallo's words, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He was not afraid that Gallo would ask for more, but he was afraid that the fish would not take the bait. However, when Lei Yi turned to look at Song Yang, Lei Yi saw Song Yang with a calm expression. , for Millia and Amber, who were sweating profusely, and peeled the fruit.
This reminded Lei Yi again. Knowing that Song Yang had not been settled yet, Lei Yi pointed to the drawings and said, "A319 is the latest model of aircraft. Compared with A320, it is technically more mature and its equipment is much more advanced!"
Lei Yi didn't blame Gallo for mentioning the Airbus A320, but explained patiently. After all, the 320 is so famous, and the Boeing 737 has almost become synonymous with business aircraft, but no one thought that these two models are both It is already old. Even the Airbus A320, which came out later, has been in development for 16 years. Whether it is Airbus or Boeing, they are developing a new generation of models.
"The fuselage of the A319 is 3.73 meters shorter than that of the A320, but it is more suitable for refitting a private jet, canceling the bulk cargo compartment, and refitting the space that could accommodate 124 passengers. According to the condition of the number of passengers, it can increase the fuel. The A319 can achieve a speed of Mach 0.82, a maximum flight altitude of 12,500 meters, and a maximum range of 12,000 kilometers!"
When Gallo listened to Lei Yi's words, he couldn't help baring his teeth. What is the concept of 12,000 kilometers, that is, taking off from San Jose, you can fly directly to Yanjing without stopping at the airport to refuel or something, and you can fly over in one breath. , the fuel in the fuel tank can fly another 2,000 kilometers...
"A modified A319 aircraft takes off from San Jose and theoretically can fly directly to any city in the world, whether it is Moscow, which is the farthest in Eastern Europe, or Yanjing in Asia, the A319 can go directly!"
Lei Yi talked to Song Yang touting the various advantages of the A319, "Although the interior space of the A319 is smaller than that of the A320, there is enough space inside to install various living, entertainment, and office facilities, whether it is a luxury suite. , sofa seat, office, satellite conference room, bar, bathroom, etc., can be equipped!"
John Leiyi took out a rendering and put it on the table. When Gallo saw it at first glance, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and Song Yang couldn't help but glance at it.
Seeing Song Yang's expression, Lei Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a waste of time for him to spend so much effort.
"This is the interior design of the A319 by Airbus and several postmodernist designers. The entire aircraft will be designed as a "star roof", and a "panoramic sunroof" will be used on the top of the cabin to allow passengers to ride in it. People can directly see the starry sky and night scene, and also equipped with LED electronic screen, which can change the color, pattern and so on in the cabin!"
Lei Yi and Airbus have obviously put in a lot of effort this time. Knowing that Song Yang is from the technology industry, they specially designed this set of interior decoration with a strong sense of technology to do what they like.
But the effect is obviously achieved. Looking at Gallo, who has always been numb to technology, he couldn't help but spit out "Star Wars". It is conceivable that this design from Airbus has a sense of technology in this era.
"After the completion of this private jet, it will become a private castle in the sky, and it will surpass the cars of Bill Gates and others, and become the best private car in the world!" In the end, Lei Yi specially emphasized.
This method, , was useless to Song Yang, but it made Gallo quite irritated. He winked at Song Yang and signaled to Song Yang to take down the private jet.
"How much does it cost and when will it be refitted!"
"The total cost is US$300 million. It is expected that Airbus will be able to complete the delivery in the next year!"
"Three hundred million dollars?"
Hearing the price, Gallo couldn't help but scream. Even if he didn't know the price of private jets, Gallo knew that the price was a bit outrageous. If the 737 is modified, it may be cheaper. It can be taken down by more than 100 million US dollars, but it is a bit time-consuming.
Lei Yi coughed. He was also asking the price to pay back the money. Waiting for Song Yang to counter the price and modifying the private jet was too time-consuming, but the profit was really much greater than selling passenger jets. The people who take up private jets are basically people with a lot of money. If you don’t kill a knife, you will be sorry for several aircraft manufacturers. How many people can you meet this kind of injustice in a year?
"Airbus will provide a new A319 for modification, the cost will be much higher, plus the design cost, material cost, etc., so the cost may be higher!"
Song Yang glanced at Lei Yi, he was really unequivocal in his slashing. The research and development cost of Airbus A319 is only 270 million US dollars. Now the price of a new A319 passenger plane is not more than 100 million US dollars. The billion dollar knife, Lei Yi came up, and directly shouted the sky-high price of 300 million US dollars to Song Yang.
"$150 million. Before Christmas next year, I will receive this modified A319. If Airbus can agree to these conditions, I will sign the agreement!"
Lei Yi's asking price was ruthless, and Song Yang also cut it in half. At such a price, Airbus would definitely not lose money, and could still earn tens of millions of dollars, but it wouldn't make too much.
"$200 million," Lei Yi was reluctant to cut half, "Airbus is willing to undertake the maintenance, logistics, and insurance of this aircraft for the first two years, and train a group of pilots for your crew for free!"
Buying a private jet is much more expensive than buying a car. Buying a car requires fueling, maintenance, repairs, and insurance from time to time. Private jets are even more expensive.
There are so many celebrities in Hollywood who can afford a private jet according to their worth, but if they can afford it, they may not be able to keep it, especially for large private jets. Maintenance and repair, who dares not to do this stuff, that is to gamble with their own lives.
The other big one is the cost of the crew, the captain and co-pilot, the maintenance engineer, and the ground crew. If a few good-looking flight attendants fly randomly, the cost for that year will be guaranteed to start with tens of millions of dollars, and I have to pray that nothing will happen. What is the situation, otherwise the cost will be doubled, which is trivial.
If Airbus undertakes the maintenance of the aircraft for the first two years and trains another batch of crew members, to be honest, this condition is not bad.
"Delivery by the end of next year!"
Song Yang thought about it for a while, then stretched out his hand towards Lei Yi.
"make a deal!"
Lei Yi shook hands with Song Yang with a smile on his face. The price was actually a bit higher than the price in his heart.
Even today, when Lei Yi arrives, he is ready to lose money and make a profit. As long as Song Yang can place an order, even if Airbus loses a bit, he is willing to do it.
Just like what he just said, Song Yang is now the face of Silicon Valley, and even the global Internet industry. What he does will set off a wave in the Internet industry. When Song Yang buys an Airbus A319 as a private car, the rest of the Internet upstarts Will they follow up? !
Selling an A319 to Song Yang, Airbus may receive several or even dozens of orders. America's biggest losers in recent years are the upstarts of the Internet!
Song Yang looked at Lei Yi's expression, and always felt that he was thinking about something. When Gai Luo watched Lei Yi take out the contract, his face showed an excited look, much more excited than he bought it.
Elliott, who was sitting beside him, took a deep breath when he saw that Song Yang really ordered a private air car worth 200 million US dollars. Much more exciting!
Song Yang looked at the agreement in his hand. If he wanted to buy a private jet without losing money, it would definitely not be worth it. With two hundred million dollars, it was estimated that it would be enough to lease a business jet for seven or eight years.
But sometimes, the accounts can't be calculated like that. In Song Yang's current identity, sometimes he still needs to "decorate" the facade. It is not necessary, but it must be there. Being a Grandet in America is not a good name. !
With this A319, it will indeed be much more convenient to go overseas in the future. In addition, if you do a show, you don't even need a dollar from Song Yang, and you can buy this plane by borrowing names such as ICQ and American Telecom.
Bill Gates, Kenneth and others now have their own private jets, but the private jets are not in their names, but in the names of Microsoft, Enron and other companies, and Microsoft will "lent" the plane to Bill. Gates drives, and the maintenance costs, insurance, and taxes of the aircraft are also borne by the company. This method is used by many giants in America.
Song Yang can also use it, it just depends on whether you want it or not, it’s really fun to play tricks, and there are some tricks!
"The Bruno family has their first private jet!"
When he saw Song Yang's signature, Gallo raised his brows and said excitedly, "When the A319 arrives, we must hold an air party on it!"
Song Yang rolled his eyes at Gallo, wondering what was in his mind. Besides women, parties, and sports cars, there were many things left in his mind.
When Todd came to Songyang’s San Jose manor, he passed Lei Yi. The latter nodded to him and left. Todd felt that Lei Yi seemed familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen it.
