1025 Business jet orders from Ship King
Xie Kai was also a little embarrassed to reject the joint venture proposal proposed by the ship king.
After learning from the Ship King assistant that Ship King had rejected the proposal of a joint venture to establish an aircraft leasing company, he was naturally grateful.
Whether it is the Y-18 or Y-10, they were originally planning to enter the field of private jets.
Private jets are not too popular internationally at present, for no other reason, they are too expensive.
Not a top-notch rich man, he can't afford a private jet at all.
If there is a private jet leasing company, it is not particularly rich in some assets, but sometimes when there is a demand for business, civil aviation charter flights are not very consistent with their identity.
Not only Zheng Yucheng and the others attached great importance to such requests, but even Sun Daogan and others also paid great attention to them.
The Y-8 private plane that had been delivered to 404 was mobilized by them.
"Propeller plane?" When the ship king saw the Y-8 parked on the airport runway, he couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't it the Y-10? International business jets are generally jets."
Internationally, there are not many people who choose propeller aircraft as business aircraft.
After all, propeller aircraft are very slow, which means performance is lagging behind.
"This is a regional aircraft specially designed by Qin Fei. Because of our business needs, we often need to receive customers, so we ordered one. Jazz, you can take a look first." Xie Kai invited the ship king to the plane with a smile on his face.
The ship king followed him on the plane.
Unlike other civil aviation passenger planes, the interior of this aircraft is all designed in business style. The originally arranged black leather sofas are gone, and replaced by some relatively shallow leather sofas and fabric sofas.
It doesn't look so depressing anymore.
At the entrance of the cabin, there is a bar counter with some devices to fix wine bottles at the back, as well as coffee machines, refrigerators, etc.
The interior decoration of the cabin is made of solid wood, and all kinds of electrical equipment are almost invisible. The lights have become much softer and are no longer so dazzling.
"In these solid wood decorations, a layer of materials that can insulate heat and noise are added. The quality is relatively light and will not increase the weight of the plane too much..." Seeing Bao Yugang staring at the decorative area of solid wood, Sun Daogan hurriedly explained.
The safety and comfort performance of business jets are all important to buyers.
The interior design is very Chinese style.
With the Western sofa design, you can sit inside to hold small meetings.
It is a completely Chinese and Western design style.
"Very good!" After seeing it, the ship king was very satisfied with the interior design. "I really didn't expect that the mainland, which has always been considered backward by the world, was ahead of the world in terms of interior design."
It’s not that the ship king has no knowledge.
It was because I saw too much that I felt amazing.
These days in mainland China, although I live in foreign-related hotels, the arrangements always give people an indescribable feeling.
In government units, most offices and conference rooms are mainly black or brown, which looks very suitable for cadres wearing Zhongshan suits, but it cannot make people feel relaxed.
The layout inside this plane even feels like being at home.
The entire cabin has a length of more than 15 meters and a width of 3.5 meters. The area of dozens of square meters is divided into several areas. There are about a dozen people inside, and they don’t feel crowded at all.
The propeller on the wings had begun to rotate slowly, and a slight tremor was felt inside the plane.
"Sir, please sit down, the plane will take off immediately."
The plane took off quickly. This was the first time Xie Kai took a Y-8 with an air-tight cabin design behind the cargo hold. The sound of the engine outside sounded much smaller than the business class section in front of the Y-10, and there was no feeling of wind coming in.
I couldn't help but feel much more satisfied.
The Y-8 was originally a military aircraft. For the sake of internal space, it uses a straight trapezoidal cantilever-type upper single wing, and the engine is suspended under the wings. The noise inside the cabin will be very high.
"There are multiple layers of sound insulation to reduce noise, and the wood used to decorate it also has the function of noise reduction..."
Sun Daogan and others are also very proud of the design here.
The noise is much smaller than that of the Y-10, especially the stability of the aircraft is also good.
During the flight, I made a cup of tea for Bao Yugang and others. If it weren't for the occasional airflow that would bump and the white clouds flying past the window from time to time, no one would realize that this was in the sky.
Even Sun Daogan introduced to the ship king that he could lift the fabric sofa and turn it into a bed, which could also meet customers who need to hold meetings everywhere for a long time to have a very comfortable resting environment on the plane.
These humanized designs made the ship king smile and praise him.
But it made Zheng Yucheng and Bai Yanjun extremely unhappy.
Xie Kai obviously also found out that the old guy was unhappy, but he couldn't ask on the plane.
"This plane is ours! We also asked someone to provide the design plan. It was originally designed for the Y-10 business plane, but they would use our plan to promote their plane!" After getting off the plane, the old guy vomited out the unhappiness he was holding back.
Xie Kai was a little helpless, "Uncle Zheng, why can't you stop them from selling planes?"
"If they order their plane, will it not affect the Y-10 order?" Zheng Yucheng said dissatisfied.
Bai Yanjun nodded hurriedly.
"Different. Y-8 and Y-10 are different aircraft, especially Y-10. Don't forget that at the beginning, it was originally designed as a leader's special plane!" Xie Kai smiled and comforted the old guy.
The Y-8 is slow, although the noise is much smaller and the range is shorter.
It is a completely different aircraft from the Y-10.
There is no such thing as an order that will affect each other.
"Besides, Qin Fei is pretty good. If it were another unit, they would rather cooperate with foreign countries, at least in this way, they could ask for more funds from their superiors on the grounds of technology introduction, and at the same time they could have many opportunities to go abroad for inspection..." Xie Kai felt that Zheng Yucheng and the others were unbearable.
Y-8 is also of the military.
Such aircraft cannot even transport all established companies at a time, and the Air Force does not have too much equipment.
Large aircraft are the mainstream of future development.
"They didn't think about developing a business jet at all!" Bai Yanjun complained, "They won't share profits for them."
Both of these are too selfish.
Thinking about 404.
If it was changed to another unit, Xie Kai thought it was right, why should I exchange the 404 design for money?
Qin Fei is different.
"Think about it, they can't listen. It's a good thing for us to sell more of the Y-8. Qin Fei has more funds to invest in the production line, right? When the Y-10 has not had any orders, they have already started to upgrade the supporting production line." Xie Kai said.
Zheng Yucheng felt a little embarrassed, "Can I not know? After all, it is a brother unit, so I just complain."
"There is nothing to complain about. Only when the entire domestic industry progresses together can the Y-10 go further. Moreover, they refused to become a designated supporting factory for Boeing and lost a lot of business. We have to find ways to help get back the losses, right? The Y-8 and Y-10 can gradually form a series to allow customers to have more choices, right?" Xie Kai was very open-minded.
The Y-10 and Y-8 are both domestic aircraft. If you want to have greater competitiveness, you must give customers more choices.
After getting off the plane, the group took the King of Ship and his assistants to visit the production and assembly line of the Y-10. The Y-10 and Y-8 were assembled in the same workshop, and the contrast was very obvious.
The technicians introduced the technical performance of the Y-10 and Y-8 to the Ship King in detail, and also took the Ship King to visit the open model project of the interior layout of the Business Y-10 cabin.
The ship king was very satisfied with it.
"The Y-10 is very good. Do you really don't plan to cooperate with us and do international aircraft leasing business?" The ship king looked at the Y-10 post-10s. Although he knew that this kind of aircraft was far behind the largest civil aviation passenger plane in the world, he still hoped to cooperate with people from 404.
"Jazz, we really want to cooperate, but we don't have much money. International aircraft leasing companies are definitely not something that can be played with by three or five planes. The investment is too large. We are in short supply now!" Zheng Yucheng shook his head and refused.
In such a situation, it is impossible for them to cooperate.
After cooperation, maybe they have to use their funds to buy Boeing and Airbus planes.
"Let's investigate the market again, and you'll think about it again. Since we can't cooperate to establish an international aircraft leasing company, we can have other cooperation." The ship king said with a smile, "I'm very satisfied with your business jets. I'm free when I retired and have nothing to do, so I'll try to see if the business in the sky is easy to do. There are two business jets like the Y-8, and two business jets of the Y-10."
Everyone was surprised.
Especially Zheng Yucheng and the others were worried for two days because they lost the potential order of the ship king.
"Boss, do you need to think about it again? Board of Directors..." The assistant did not expect that the ship king would place an order on the spot.
I have to go back and hold a board meeting, discuss and form an airline before buying a plane.
"Yes, sir, this is not in a hurry."
"What are the prices? I personally invest in buying planes to build a company." The ship king said heroically.
"The Y-8 business jet has a basic model of US$12 million. The decoration and layout inside and the painting outside can be designed according to customer needs and the price depends on the design needs; the Y-10 basic model has a market price of US$33 million. If you want to buy Jazz, we will sell it for US$30 million!" Xie Kai said.
Chapter completed!
