Chapter 854 Customization (Fourth Shift, Second Shift)
Hawker Beechcraft's "King of the Sky" series is arguably the world's most legendary twin-engine turboprop and the safest private jet in the world.
The wings are very wide, and the most important thing is that the cargo is statically stable, so even if there is a problem with both engines at the same time, it can glide slowly like a glider until it finds a suitable ground landing...... It doesn't have to be an airport, as long as it is a flat ground, whether it is an earthen road, grassland, or farmland, there is no problem, and even an emergency landing on the surface can be carried out.
Production began in 1964 and to date, the King Air has delivered 7,000 aircraft worldwide, maintaining a record that Hawker is immensely proud of: it is the world's best-selling and most successful domestic and commercial private jet.
Because this product is too legendary, too successful, too safe, and the comprehensive cost is too advantageous, so that such a private jet using two turboprop engines is more expensive than a considerable number of private business jets equipped with turbofan engines, and the global sales of 7,000 are really full of confidence when selling this product, although it is not like the automobile industry in later generations, and the hot-selling models will definitely increase the price of the car. But it's not much better: the dealer is full of confidence and doesn't give much discount.
That is also the closest Lin Hongfei has come to owning his own private jet, after all, a new "Super King of the Sky" is only 3 million US dollars, for a billionaire who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and has an extremely abundant cash flow, this money is really nothing, just depends on whether he really likes it that much, if it is not for the salesperson who happens to have a little racial discrimination, and it is precisely racial discrimination against yellow people. Lin Hongfei's signature pen had already signed the string of numbers and his name on the checkbook.
Racial discrimination is naturally not allowed to appear in private jet sales and a place where you deal with the rich and super-rich, even if you are really a racial supremacist, at least you can't show it at work, but who knows what kind of wind was in the head of that salesperson at that time?
Of course, Lin Hongfei did not buy a private jet, but the bastard who racistically discriminated against himself did not end up well, not only did he not get a large commission, but he was also sent to prison by Lin Hongfei, and according to the court's verdict, this goods were only sentenced to 5 years in prison for racial discrimination.
But alas. The goods died in less than two weeks, and the forensic examination result was that the goods were wheeled by a group of hungry black buddies, because the chrysanthemums had not been developed before, and the brothers of the black buddies were more majestic, so the goods were very sad and the chrysanthemums hemorrhaged and died...... In fact, it is not a chrysanthemum hemorrhage and died. When the prison guards found out that something was wrong, the goods were still dying. The kind-hearted prison guard even brought her an oversized night aunt's towel. But coincidentally, on the way to the hospital for treatment, the ambulance had a flat tire and overturned.
Regarding this situation, all those who know about this matter speculate that this matter is probably inseparable from Lin Hongfei, the world-renowned master of internal combustion engine design, but no one speaks to the unlucky guy who bleeds from the chrysanthemum, and there is no evidence to prove that this matter was arranged by Lin Hongfei. Another reason, and one of the most important, is racial discrimination against a billionaire? That's really dead and deserved!
Although everyone knows that there has always been racial discrimination in all walks of life in the United States, from a legal point of view alone, racial discrimination is absolutely not allowed. "Try? You are guaranteed to be sent to jail by this black man for racially discriminating against him. And a large amount of compensation was lost.
As for racially discriminating against a billionaire? Oh, God! This is a situation that no racist would have had in the worst of nightmares.
What is Capitalism? To put it simply, capitalism is that whoever has money is the boss, obviously, a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars must have much more money in the hands of a salesman than a salesman, even if the salesman is selling airplanes, but don't say that you buy airplanes, even if you are selling bombers, then you are also a salesman, not a capitalist, since you are not a capitalist but you want to racially discriminate against a capitalist, then you must bear the revenge of the capitalist.
This principle is very simple and universal, capitalism, everything is made by money, how pleasant.
Holger. Broich didn't know that such a thing had happened to his boss, otherwise he would have to be desperately glad that he wasn't a racist. Breich breathed a sigh of relief, he understood that his recommendation to his boss had worked.
But billionaire Holger. Mr. Breich knew better whether he could convince his boss to give him a ...... of his own Although it is only nominally their own...... Airplanes, for themselves, are the real test for themselves from now on.
"That Gulfstream 2 SP was a 1980 aircraft that cost $5.5 million; The Hawker Beechcraft's 'King of the Air 200' was a 1981 model that cost $1.8 million. After a pause, in order to strengthen the persuasiveness of Holger. Broich added, "Both of these aircraft were sold by their owners to the private business jet dealer, and they are still in use, and I asked a professional to look at the use and maintenance records of these two aircraft, and the expert told me that these are two very well maintained aircraft." ”
$5.5 million plus $1.8 million, that would be $7.3 million for the two aircraft.
Lin Hongfei silently calculated in his heart, and felt that this price was a fair offer, just a fair offer, not a fair price, there was a difference between the two, there must be a difference between the quotation and the transaction price, the plane was not to go to the supermarket to buy something, the supermarket could not negotiate, the plane was often calculated in millions of dollars, and there was no such thing as a non-negotiable, let alone a second-hand plane. Lin Hongfei estimated that the two planes could be won for about $6.5 million to $6.8 million.
"Okay, we have to believe the words of the experts, if they dare to take our money and dare to lie, then I don't mind smashing their jobs and letting him sweep the streets for the rest of his life," Lin Hongfei believed at the moment. The expert in Broych's mouth must be next to him, so he doesn't mind warning the expert by the way: Although foreign experts are much more reliable than the so-called brick beasts in China, Americans have always had a habit of talking big and bragging, and Lin Hongfei felt that a small warning was completely appropriate. After saying this, he said, "Okay, you can now introduce me to the basic situation of these two aircraft." ”
Since the basic situation of the aircraft can be asked, it means that the boss is quite satisfied with the two planes, and then it depends on whether the main data of the aircraft can satisfy the boss. Breich is confident that when he surveys the aircraft, the main basic data of the aircraft is the focus of his investigation.
"The owner of the Gulfstream 2 SP has just retrofitted the aircraft with two more fuel-efficient Rolls. Royce's turbofan engines, so the flight range is a little more than the normal Gulfstream 2: 3,750 kilometers, the maximum range is more than 5,000 kilometers, and the excellent engine and aerodynamic layout allow the aircraft to fly smoothly in the stratosphere at a speed of 851 kilometers per hour in the stratosphere of 13,700 meters. ”
"If it doesn't need to be changed, the Gulfstream 2 SP can now carry 14 passengers at a time, with a clear interior height of 1.95 meters, which is a height that allows you to walk freely in the cabin with your head held high. If you don't think the capacity of 14 passengers is enough, the aircraft sales company can also customize the aircraft to your requirements and carry up to 19 passengers. ”
"In addition to these, including the installation of kitchens, toilets, bathrooms, changing rooms, bars, premium sound systems, which are essential for entertainment and life on board, you can also choose to have a wide leather seat with 360-degree electric omnidirectional rotation and massage function, which can be flattened to become a temporary bed for resting; I also saw a large one-piece sofa that was about 2 meters long and 2 meters long, which could be flattened to become a large bed with a width of 1.2 meters, and I think you would be able to sleep comfortably on it during an intercontinental flight. ”
"As for the Hawker Beechcraft's 'King of the Air 200' aircraft, it is equipped with two Pratt. Whitney's state-of-the-art turboprop-engined propeller aircraft is very fuel-efficient. Royce's turbofan-powered Gulfstream 2 SP consumes 2,200 litres of jet fuel per hour, but the Hawker Beechcraft Super Air King 200 uses only 360 litres of jet fuel per hour, which is only one-third the fuel consumption of the Gulfstream 2 SP even over the same distance. ”
"The Super King of the Air 200 can carry nine passengers, has a maximum range of between 2,100 and 2,250 kilometers, a maximum cruising speed of 500 kilometers per hour, and a flight altitude of 9,100 meters. Of course, it can also be customized to your requirements, not only can it be modified to accommodate up to 11 passengers, but most importantly, it is very low to use, including the crew, the cost of flying is $1,200 per hour, and the Gulfstream 2 SP is nearly $5,500 per hour......"
