Chapter 225 Aircraft Factory

All the way east.

Under the round window is a white cloud and green space, and the blue atmosphere above is dazzling.

Sitting in the Gulfstream IV is very quiet, the engine is installed near the tail, and the first-class experience of an ordinary airliner cannot be compared with that of a private business jet, Han Xuan sat on this for the first time, and he could clearly feel the difference between the two.

Humans began to truly conquer the skies in 1903, but every time they left the earth, they felt unsure, and a comfortable environment could alleviate this symptom, such as the Gulfstream Aerospace airplane, which was so comfortable that you wanted to sleep.

It took more than 20 minutes to get from Atlanta to Ivana, and in order to give them a more intuitive experience, Captain Isaiah flew around the Atlantic Ocean before turning back to the northwest.

Ordinary airliners fly at an altitude of about 10,000 meters, while Gulfstream IV flies at an altitude of 12,500 meters, with little turbulence in the airflow, and the water in the cup does not move when the aircraft is cruising.

The old man was surprised to find that he didn't have much airsickness, which made him a little surprised, and taking a plane could help him save a lot of time to go to the United States to deal with branch affairs.

Davidovich said sorry and walked to the bathroom, the flight attendant was obviously relaxed, her eyes kept staring at her grandfather and grandson, Han Xuan asked her, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, but it's the first time I've seen a super-rich man like you, who used to only see on TV. One of the stewardesses opened her eyes with a wink.

The old man laughed and said, "It's no difference. ”

"Well, imagine you should have a lot of paperwork waiting to be processed, it won't be like this, and buying a plane is like us going to a store on the street, right?" she continued.

The one next to him quietly pulled his companion, "I'm sorry, sir, she's just been at work for two months." ”

"It's okay, I'm not as busy as you think. Otherwise, what to do with so many senior managers, be responsible for the final decision-making on a daily basis, and leave the initial things to others.

It's just that I'm still the CEO of the company, and the rest of the people are more comfortable, like a couple of successful entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, who go to golf together every Sunday. Or go on vacation in Europe and leave the matter to the vice president and the executive to take care of it. ”

Isaiah's voice came over the radio: "There are still a few minutes to land, and the next thing will be to lower the flight altitude, please fasten your seat belt." ”?

"Let's get ready, Mr. Han. The stewardess said, straightened the back of Han Xuan's seat, checked the seat belt, and returned to the front cabin......

Smoothly landed at the internal airfield of Gulfstream Aerospace and slowly drove forward. Davidovich said to Han Xuan: "Look outside the window, the unpainted one is the Gulfstream V test flight engineering aircraft.

After collecting its aircraft data and transforming it, it will be prototyped, and when it passes the FAA type certification, it will be put on the market, and now it is still a little problematic, and the technical department is improving and optimizing. ”

"That's a little longer than Gulfstream IV. ”

"It's more comfortable than this one. I tried. ”

"Then keep the first Gulfstream V for me, Mr. Davidovich. Han Xuan said with a smile.

"Okay. I'll let you know when the time comes, haha"

There were five or six men and women in suits and leather shoes standing in the open space, and one of them was about the same age as the boy's grandfather, and the old man came over to greet him with a smile on his face, and shouted, "Hello, Mr. Han." I didn't know you had to come here in person, or I'd have picked you up in Atlanta. ”

Davidovich reminded that "he is the chairman of Gulfstream, Aaron E. Paulson, and he founded this company. Now retired. ”

"Hello, Mr. Paulson. When the old man heard his words, he stretched out his hand and smiled.

As soon as the hands were clasped together, a man held a camera and motioned to take a picture, and Paulson said, "My dream is to sell Gulfstream planes to every Fortune 500 company, and if this business is successful, it will be just a tenth of it." ”

The employee was about to retreat after filming, and when he saw the boss stretching out his hand to the boy, he was stunned and didn't know what to do.

"Why are you looking at it, don't shoot yet? God, I just closed my eyes, do it again. ”

Paulson told Han Xuan: "Every kid is a potential stock, and I just bought the Gulfstream production line from Grumman Aerospace in '73, and my net worth is only more than $7 million, and your starting point is much better than mine." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, then I officially place an order with your company, about that Gulfstream V. Han Xuan shrugged his shoulders and followed his words.

"It's great, it's good to get an order before it was developed, it seems that it is really popular, I will give you a discount on the plane today. ”

Paulson attaches great importance to this business, otherwise he would not have retired and come here in person, and every plane in the hands of the rich is a disguised advertisement for Gulfstream, and he tentatively asked the old man: "Have you experienced it on the road, how do you feel?"

"It's good, it's quieter than the Barpendi. ”

"The Bapandi airliner is OK, the business plane is much worse than the Gulfstream, please go this way......"

Go forward more than 100 meters into the factory.

The Gulfstream aircraft manufacturing workshop is full of modern atmosphere, the ground is clean, and the tools and equipment are neatly placed without the slightest oil stain, just like brand new.

In the huge factory, employees in different areas are busy with their own work, and there are many people but not chaotic, which may be the reason for the advanced equipment, and there is not much noise in the spacious workshop.

The lighting and ventilation conditions are very good, Han Xuan sniffs his nose, he can't smell the pungent smell that is often found in the factory floor, puts on the goggles distributed by the doorman, and thinks that the automobile manufacturing workshop may be able to learn from it in the future.

"Some of the main parts of the aircraft are customized from Grumman Aerospace, which provides F-14 carrier-based aircraft for today's aircraft carriers, and there is no need to worry about manufacturing capacity. ”

Davidovich pointed to the assembled shell of the aircraft on the platform and explained to them: "The Gulfstream IV offers a myriad of possible interiors, and the interior space of the main body can be changed as long as it does not affect the overall structure.

You can also choose in color, but I recommend that it is better to use a light color, which is more recognizable at night, and some time ago a small plane in Switzerland had a collision accident because it was painted black. ”

There was only one plane under construction in the workshop, and after reading it for more than ten minutes, the old man asked, "What do you think, just it?"

"I don't have a choice, unless I wait a few years to buy it. Han Xuan looked at Davidovich, "Champagne gold can be made?"

"Champagne gold? ”

Thinking that he was going to ask someone, he didn't think that Davydovich shouted directly to a worker in the distance: "Is there a golden spray of champagne?!"

"Of course! Rose gold can be painted! It just takes some time, and the company doesn't have a ready-made primer!"

He said yes. ”

“…… I heard that. (To be continued.) )
