America's Road to Fame

Chapter 191 The William

"Honey, you are so powerful, I never thought you could really buy Hermes."

Now that William Chen has completed the holding of the Hermès Group, it has spread all over the world. As Paris in the fashion industry, she is naturally the happiest person.

At least, if she wants to buy Hermes bags in the future, she won't have to go to the auction.

At this time, William Chen and Paris were sitting in their Rolls-Royce, heading to a business airport near New York - Teterboro Business Airport, which is very close to the center of New York, less than [-] kilometers away , is an airport dedicated to business jets, and many private business jets of rich people stop here.

Yes, after more than a month of waiting, the Gulfstream G550 business jet that William Chen ordered was finally completed, and the handover is here today.

Fortunately, William Chen bought someone else's order at that time, so he was able to get the plane so quickly. Otherwise, according to the current number of Gulfstream orders, it may take at least one or two years to get it after ordering.

This Gulfstream G550 still looks very stylish, especially the words "William" are sprayed on the fuselage of the aircraft, representing the owner of the aircraft.

When William Chen and his convoy approached, people from Gulfstream were already waiting for them there. They first took William Chen and Paris to visit the interior of the business jet.

For Gulfstream and the G550, customers can choose from 12 cabin layouts and a variety of colors and materials when purchasing a new aircraft, so there are thousands of possible combinations.Floor finishes were designed by Gulfstream in-house personnel, but decisions were also based on customer feedback.

The Gulfstream sales consultant who received him at that time once said:

"We offer a bespoke project where the client is free to choose the furniture and alter the layout of the cabin from start to finish to suit their personal preferences. We use only the best sources of materials. From bespoke rugs and leather goods to wood finishes, we Always choose number one, not number two.”

It's just that William Chen's order is a plan already made by other people who purchased it, and there is not much room for choice. At the beginning, William Chen chose his favorite internal design order from the four orders.

The interior decoration of this aircraft is very luxurious, and the ground is covered with precious carpets. When they enter the cabin from the ladder and turn right, there is the kitchen area, which is decorated with Gulfstream's iconic super high-gloss burl walnut wood finish. , equipped with a high temperature oven, microwave and the latest espresso machine.

To the right of the galley area is the lavatory located at the front of the cabin.

Going forward, there is the entertainment area at the front of the cabin. Here, William Chen can feel that the cabin is full of natural light, thanks to the large oval portholes of the Gulfstream G550.

The Gulfstream consultant who led them on the tour said:

"This entertainment area has four single armrest leather sofas, which are very suitable for meeting or chatting. There is a super large LCD independent display screen installed on the side bulkhead, which can be adjusted by sliding to be used by any seat."

"In addition, all seats in this aircraft are equipped with slightly smaller LCD screens for their exclusive use, and they can all be controlled through a small control panel next to the seat."

Seeing William Chen and Paris sitting on the sofa where they were resting, the consultant introduced them specially:

“What makes this aircraft unique is the dark wood veneer paired with light soft leather furniture for a very modern feel. The four single armrest leather sofas in this entertainment area are unique, two-tone Deployed with an avant-garde panel, it exudes fatal charm."

Indeed, the two-tone Aeristo leather sofa complements the two-tone leather ceiling and leather walls on the lower half of the side bulkheads.

As far as the eye can see, the metal fittings are shining in satin silver, the advanced custom-made silk wool carpet lies quietly under the feet, and each seat is equipped with a foldable small table.

After visiting here, the group continued to move forward and entered the rest area.

There are two single armrest leather sofas and a four-seater leather couch that can sleep two people. There are lockers next to the sofa, which can accommodate up to six people or four people for a short nap.

Behind this lounge area is the office area, ideal for meetings and dinners.

The first thing that catches the eye is a set of four-seater leather sofas with armrests, surrounding a three-section fold-out coffee table with dark burl walnut top.

There is a bookcase on this side of the aisle, which holds all the necessary office equipment, including printers, fax machines, telephone equipment, etc.

"Generally passengers like to open the foldable coffee table, but it is necessary to fold it back when taking off and landing."

The Gulfstream consultant continued:

"When flying at night, it can also be laid flat on the ground, and with a mattress, it is a very comfortable single bed."

The last step in the cabin is William Chen's exclusive private space - the bedroom suite.

There is an extra large double bed, a matching wardrobe, and a separate toilet and bathroom.

A Gulfstream consultant explained to them as they demonstrated:

"The roof of this private bedroom suite can be set as a starry sky ceiling. After turning on this effect, it feels like being under the starry sky, which makes people feel happy."

Uh, William Chen couldn't help but think, how does it feel to learn knowledge at an altitude of [-] meters under the starry sky?
It seems that you can try it, not for anything else, just to learn knowledge...

After seeing the internal situation of this aircraft, William Chen was still very satisfied, so after signing, the handover was completed.

In addition to the high purchase price of this kind of private jet, the continuing expenses behind it are not affordable by ordinary rich people. If you want to drive the plane, you need to hire a crew. For example, this Gulfstream G550 requires two pilots. and two flight attendants.

Including daily maintenance costs, the aircraft will cost more than $150 million a year.

As a very valued customer of Gulfstream, they will also consider this need for William Chen.For crew members, William Chen can choose to hire them on a long-term basis or on a temporary basis.

Of course, the cost of long-term employment is higher, because in fact, the proportion of time needed to use the aircraft is not high every year, but if it is long-term employment, it means that you need to keep these people all the time.

But for the super rich, the safety and reliability of the crew of private jets are still very high, so in this regard, they often choose long-term employment.

The two pilots of the crew, needless to say, just choose the one with the most experience. The pilots provided by Gulfstream often have many years of flying experience on large passenger aircraft, and there are also experienced pilots on this G550 model.

As for the flight attendant, the Gulfstream consultant quietly glanced at Paris who was playing with the seat and sofa with great interest, and said that he could wait for someone to bring the materials to William Chen to choose.

Hehe, what do you mean, do you think I am someone who is embarrassed to choose according to my own heart in front of women?
When William saw the consultant's performance, he sneered in his heart and said:

"Well, it's still important that the flight attendants are safe and secure."

In this way, they completed the handover of this aircraft. The Teterboro Business Airport where they are now is relatively close to the center of New York, and the runway is more than 2000 meters, which is also suitable for the takeoff and landing of this Gulfstream G550. Therefore, William Chen The "William" will be temporarily docked here, and it can be easily reached when he needs to use it.

"How is it? Do you like the plane? Honey."

On the way back, William Chen held Paris's hand and asked.

"Of course, this plane is really great! Can I take this plane when I go to other countries in the future, William."

Paris asked excitedly.

"That sure does, my dear, you can use it whenever you want."

Seeing William Chen's answer without hesitation, Paris was full of joy, kissed him on the cheek, and said:

"When I shoot a reality show next time, I will be able to shoot on this plane."

"Well, that's a good idea."
