v3 Chapter 1219： Give me two! (1/2)
Elena did not refuse this time, and looked back and forth on the Boeing 747-200 and Boeing 747-300 models with joy.
In terms of introduction, the Boeing 747-300 is obviously improved, but it has not been tested by the market, so there is uncertainty.
Unlike the Boeing 747-200, it has many years of market considerations and its performance is very stable and excellent.
Seeing that Elena was too late to make a decision, Xia Yu said to Rudolf Martin: ”President Martin, please tell us the difference between these two models.”
”Ok!”
Rudolph Martin responded immediately.
Then he narrated the familiar information without hesitation: ”Mr. Xia, Ms. Elena, let me introduce you the parameters of the Boeing 747-200.”
”The four engines of the aircraft are all Rolls-Royce 211 models. The fuselage length is 68.6 meters, the wing length is 6.5 meters, the height is 7.82 meters, the cabin length is 57 meters, the cabin width is 6.1 meters, and the cabin height is 2.54 meters. , The luggage compartment is 175 cubic meters, the aircraft horsepower is 236KN, the take-off distance is 3875 meters, the landing distance is 2093 meters, the practical ceiling is 13746 meters, the maximum take-off load is 377.8 tons, the maximum landing weight is 285.7 tons, and the weight of the fuselage at empty weight 17.06 tons.”
”In terms of speed, the maximum cruising speed is 982 kilometers per hour, the normal cruising speed is 875 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 12,700 kilometers.”
”The price of this aircraft is 35 million U.S. dollars for bare metal!”
”On the 747-300 model, some parameters have been adjusted to some extent, but the parameters of the fuselage have not changed.”
”The performance of the Rolls-Royce 211 turbo engine has been optimized, so in terms of power, it has been increased from 236KN to 240KN.”
”The takeoff distance of the aircraft has dropped by more than two hundred meters, from 3875 meters to 3650 meters, while the landing distance and practical ceiling remain unchanged.”
”In terms of weight, the maximum take-off weight remains the same, but the maximum landing weight has dropped from 285.7 tons to 260.32 tons, and the empty weight has increased from 170.06 tons to 174.82 tons.”
”Although the weight has increased, the fuel utilization rate has been higher. The cruising speed and normal cruising speed of the rental store are the same, but the range is only reduced by 300 kilometers.”
”Mr. Xia, although we only obtained the FAA Type Certificate in March, we don't have to worry about other problems with this aircraft.”
”The Boeing 747-300 is only optimized on the basis of the Boeing 747-200, so it has higher technological content and better performance.”
”As for the price, it is slightly higher than the Boeing 747-200 model, which is 37 million US dollars.”
”At present, we are about to complete a Boeing 747-300 model, and there are more aircraft under construction...”
Rudolf Martin obviously wanted to promote the Boeing 747-300 model. Xia Yu just looked at it with a smile and did not express his opinions easily.
He also understands Rudolph Martin and the Boeing company's intentions behind it. It is nothing more than to successfully promote the Boeing 747-300 model to him. Once he builds this aircraft into a top-level private jet, it will be for Boeing. It is the best marketing advertisement, the benefits are self-evident!
Xia Yu also knows that because of the negative impact of the oil crisis in the past two years, airlines all over the world have struggled to operate, and most of them have suffered losses, so it is difficult to purchase new aircraft for expansion.
As a result, Boeing’s aircraft could not be sold and revenues were very low, so Boeing was eager to open up the situation and refused to let go of any opportunity.
correct!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu moved in his heart and wrote down his inspiration.
After Rudolph Martin finished speaking, Xia Yu looked at Elena and asked gently: ”Elena, which model do you think is better?”
Elena pursed her mouth and thought for a moment, and said softly to Xia Yu: ”Xia Yu, I choose Boeing 747-300. I have also heard that Rolls-Royce’s 211 engine has certain optimizations and performance. Still great.”
Of course Xia Yu had no objection. He smiled back at Elena, and then said to Rudolph Martin: ”President Martin, choose a Boeing 747-300. I need two planes!”
When Rudolf Martin heard it, his eyes lit up and his mouth opened wide.
When the president of Cathay Pacific Airways contacted them before, he only said that the boss Xia Yu wanted to buy a private jet. They always thought it was just one. They didn't expect Xia Yu to place two orders so quickly!
This is definitely a surprise!
You must know that because of the oil crisis, Boeing's total order for a year was only 20 Boeing 747 aircraft!
And it still includes the sales of several models of the Boeing series!
Now Xia Yu has just two planes, which is so pleasant and surprising!
”Mr. Xia, this is really amazing. You are the most angry man I have ever met!”
”You are also the top VIP of our company, please allow me to offer my sincerest respect!”
Rudolf Martin did not hesitate to praise and flatter, and his attitude was very low, to show his respect for Xia Yu.
Even if he did, Rudolf Martin still felt that it was not enough, so he stood up suddenly and bowed to Xia Yu.
The team following him also stood up, all smiles, bowed to Xia Yu and offered compliments.
”Mr. Xia, thank you for your recognition of our Boeing Company!”
Although they knew they were doing it for their own money, Rudolf Martin and others were willing to do this kind of face-saving work, which really made Xia Yu happy!
He smiled and said:
”President Martin, what are your modification plans? What are their characteristics?”
Rudolf Martin immediately received a stack of documents from his assistant and replied with a smile: ”Mr. Xia, regarding the transformation and decoration of the Boeing 747-300 model, we have designed a total of five plan templates, namely SSS and SS. , S, A, and B five kinds of plans, of which the SSS-level plan is the top plan.”
As soon as Rudolf Martin finished speaking, Xia Yu said directly: ”Just talk about SSS and the plan.”
Xia Yu's arrogance made Rudolph's smile brighter.
He took out the top plan from the document, handed it to Xia Yu with both hands, and then said to Xia Yu: ”Mr. Xia, next will be my assistant Chandler Jason, the chief engineer of our aircraft modification department. Introduce the retrofit design of the SSS program in detail for you and your lover.”
Just after he finished speaking, a white man with thick glasses and whitish hair sitting beside him nodded to Xia Yu and Elena, and then began to introduce Xia Yu to the transformation plan of the SSS program.
”Mr. Xia, Ms. Elena, the SSS plan you are holding is a unique plan template carefully designed by us. After my introduction, if you are not satisfied or have any ideas of your own, you can follow me Say, your needs are our pursuit.”
”Please look at the first page. The interior of the fuselage has been remodeled and divided into five major areas, namely, luxurious bedrooms, exquisite kitchens, and offices...”
”There is also a special wine storage area in the kitchen, where red wine can be placed. Each position is fixed with the top oak. The oak is wrapped with the top merino wool from Australia, which can ensure that the aircraft takes off and landed. The impact won't make the wine shake and fall...”
”...”
As Chandler Jason continued to tell, Xia Yu and Elena nodded from time to time, which inspired Rudolph Martin, who had been observing Xia Yu and Elena, especially Elena’s nod. It is to greatly increase its self-confidence.
After all, Boeing initially thought that Xia Yu wanted to buy a private jet. He didn't expect Xia Yu to buy two planes. One was obviously his own and the other was given to Elena.
So this unexpected accident disrupted their plans.
It's just that he didn't get chaotic when he was in danger, he kept his composure and didn't show it.
To be honest, Boeing has made many templates for the transformation of private jets, and this one is the most top-notch.
Before visiting Xia Yu, Rudolf Martin and others combined with Xia Yu's identity as a Chinese, made some adjustments to the top-level renovation plan, and only made a top-notch plan.
There are remodeling plans suitable for women, but they are not of the same level as this one, so Rudolf Martin dare not take it out at all!
