Chapter 657 Gold Swallowing Beast

"Airbus A319?"

Hearing the movement, Gallo rushed over and looked at John Leiyi with bright eyes. In Gallo's impression, private jets are the symbol of wealthy families, such as Bill Gates, Kenneth of Enron Group, and those The well-known wealthy families in America all own private jets.

Of course, if you find some models, socialites and the like on a private jet and hold an air party, it will be even more exciting.

"Why not the Airbus A320?" Gallo said with some dissatisfaction. The first private jet of the Bruno family, of course, the bigger the better.

When Lei Yi heard Gallo's words, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He was not afraid that Gallo would ask too much, but he was afraid that the fish would not take the bait. But when he turned his head to look at Song Yang, Lei Yi saw Song Yang with a calm expression. , for the sweaty Milia and Amber to come and peel the fruit.

This made Lei Yi come to his senses again. Knowing that Song Yang hadn't been settled yet, Lei Yi pointed to the blueprint and said, "A319 is the latest model of aircraft. Compared with A320, it is more mature in technology and has much more advanced equipment!"

Lei Yi didn't blame Gallo for mentioning the Airbus A320, but patiently explained that the A320 was so famous after all, that it was almost synonymous with the Boeing 737, but no one thought that these two models were both It is already old. Even the Airbus A320, which appeared later, has been developed for 16 years. Both Airbus and Boeing are developing a new generation of models.

"The fuselage of the A319 is 320 meters shorter than the A3.73, but it is more suitable for refitting a private jet. The bulk cargo compartment is canceled, and the space that can originally accommodate 124 passengers is refitted. According to the condition of 25 passengers, fuel can be increased. The box allows the A319 to reach a speed of Mach 0.82, a maximum flight altitude of 1 meters, and a maximum range of 500 kilometers!"

Hearing Lei Yi's words, Gallo couldn't help but gritted his teeth. The concept of 1 kilometers means that if you take off from San Jose, you can fly directly to Yanjing. You don't need to stop at the airport to refuel, and you can fly over in one go. , the fuel in the fuel tank can fly another [-] kilometers...

"Take a modified A319 and take off from San Jose. In theory, you can fly directly to any city in the world. Whether it is Moscow, the farthest place in Eastern Europe, or Yanjing in Asia, the A319 can reach you directly!"

Lei Yi touted the advantages of the A319 to Song Yang, "Although the interior space of the A319 is a little smaller than that of the A320, there is enough space inside to install various living, entertainment, and office facilities, whether it is a luxury suite. , sofa seats, offices, satellite teleconference rooms, bars, bathrooms, etc., can all be equipped!"

John Leiyi took out a rendering and put it on the table. Gallo couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw it for the first time, and Song Yang couldn't help but take another look.

Seeing Song Yang's expression, Lei Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief, it was not in vain that he had spent so much thought, and finally it was not in vain.

"This is the interior design of Song You's A319 by Airbus and several post-modernist designers. The entire aircraft will be designed as a "starry sky roof", and the roof of the cabin will use a "panoramic sunroof" to let passengers in it People can directly see the starry sky and night view, and it is also equipped with LED electronic screens, which can change the colors, patterns, etc. in the cabin!"

Lei Yi and Airbus obviously put in a lot of effort this time. Knowing that Song Yang was from the technology industry, they specially created this set of technologically-sounding interior decorations to match their preferences.

But the effect is obviously achieved. Looking at Gallo, who has always been numb to technology, he couldn't help but say "Star Wars" at this time. It feels like this plane is like the ship that the commander in Star Wars is on. It is conceivable that this set of designs produced by Airbus has a sense of technology in this era.

"After the completion of this private jet, it will become a private castle in the sky, and it will surpass the cars of Bill Gates and others to become the best private car in the world!" Finally, Lei Yi specially emphasized.

This method was useless to Song Yang, but Gallo was quite irritated, and he winked at Song Yang and asked Song Yang to take down the private jet.

"How much is the price, and when will the modification be completed!"

"The total cost is [-] million U.S. dollars, and it is expected that Airbus will be able to complete the delivery in the next year!"

"Three hundred million dollars?"

Hearing this price, Gallo couldn't help screaming. Even if he didn't know the price of private jets, Gallo knew that the price was outrageous. It was enough to buy a whole Boeing's latest large passenger plane. If the 737 is modified, it may be cheaper. It can be won for more than 1 million US dollars, but it is a bit time-consuming.

Lei Yi coughed. He was asking for a lot of money and sitting on the ground to pay back the money. He waited for Song Yang to counter the price and modify the private jet. It was too time-consuming, but the profit was much greater than selling passenger planes. After all, he could buy Those who start private jets are basically people with high net worth. If they don't kill them, they will be sorry for several aircraft manufacturers.
"Airbus will provide a new A319 for refitting, and the cost will be much higher, plus design costs, material costs, etc., so the cost may be partly higher!"

Song Yang cast a glance at Lei Yi, his cut is really unambiguous, the research and development cost of the Airbus A319 is only 7000 million US dollars, and the current price of a new A319 airliner is not more than [-] million US dollars Meidao, when Lei Yi came up, he directly called out a sky-high price of [-] million US dollars to Song Yang.

"5000 million US dollars, before Christmas next year, I will receive this modified A319, if Airbus can agree to these conditions, I will sign the agreement!"

Lei Yi demanded a high price, and Song Yang also cut it in half. With such a price, Airbus will definitely not lose money, and it can still earn tens of millions of dollars, but the profit will not be too much.

"Two hundred million dollars," Lei Yi was unwilling to cut half of it, "Airbus is willing to bear the maintenance, logistics, and insurance of this aircraft for the first two years, and train a group of pilots for Song your crew for free!"

Buying a private jet is much more expensive than buying a car. Buying a car requires frequent refueling, maintenance, repairs, and insurance. Private jets are even more expensive.

There are so many stars in Hollywood who can afford private jets according to their net worth, but if they can afford it, they may not be able to maintain it, especially for large private jets. The annual seat rental fee, fuel cost, insurance cost, plus daily expenses Maintenance and repairs, whoever dares not to do this thing is betting on his own life.

Another big head is the cost of the flight crew, the captain and co-pilot, the maintenance engineer, the ground staff, if there are a few good-looking stewardesses flying randomly, the cost of the year will start with a guarantee of tens of millions of dollars, and we have to pray that it will not happen. No matter what the situation, otherwise the cost would be doubled, it would be trivial.

If Airbus undertakes the maintenance of the aircraft for the first two years and then trains a group of crew members, to be honest, the conditions are not bad.

"It will be delivered by the end of next year!"

After thinking for a moment, Song Yang stretched out his hand to Lei Yi.

"make a deal!"

Lei Yi shook hands with Song Yang, with a smile on his face, the price was actually a bit higher than the price in his heart.

Even when Lei Yi came today, he was ready to make a profit at a loss. As long as Song Yang can place an order, even if Airbus loses some money, he is willing to do it.

Just like what he said just now, Song Yang is now the face of Silicon Valley and even the global Internet industry. What he does will set off a wave in the Internet industry. When Song Yang buys an Airbus A319 as a private car, the rest of the Internet upstarts Will you follow up? !
If you sell one A319 to Song Yang, Airbus may receive orders for several or even dozens of them. In recent years, America’s most prodigal losers are the upstarts of the Internet!
Song Yang looked at Lei Yi's expression and always felt that he seemed to be planning something. Gallo looked excited when Lei Yi took out the contract, much more excited than he was even buying it.

Elliott, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw that Song Yang really placed an order for a private sky car worth [-] million US dollars. Much more exciting!

Song Yang looked at the agreement in his hand. If he wanted to buy a private jet without losing money, it would definitely not be worthwhile. With [-] million US dollars, it is estimated that it would be enough to lease a commercial jet and fly it for seven or eight years.

But sometimes, the accounts can’t be calculated like that. With Song Yang’s current status, sometimes it is necessary to “decorate” the appearance. It is not necessary, but it must be. Being Grandet in America is not a good name. !

With this A319, it will be much more convenient to go overseas in the future. In addition, if you want to play tricks, you don't even need Song Yang to pay a dollar, and you can buy this plane by borrowing ICQ, America Telecom and other names.

Bill Gates, Kenneth and others all have their own private jets now, but the private jets are not in their names, but in the names of Microsoft, Enron and other companies, and Microsoft will "lend" the planes to Bill Gates. Gates drove, and the maintenance costs, insurance, taxes, etc. of the aircraft are also borne by the company. This method is used by many giants in America.

Song Yang can also be used, it depends on whether you want to, really play tricks, there are plenty of tricks!

"The Bruno family has their first private jet!"

When Song Yang signed, Gallo raised his brows and couldn't help saying excitedly, "When A319 is in hand, we must hold an aerial party on it!"

Song Yang gave Gallo a blank look. He didn't know what was in his mind, and how many things were left in his mind besides women, parties, and sports cars.

When Todd came to Songyang San Jose's manor, he passed by Lei Yi. The latter nodded to him, and then left. Todd felt that Lei Yi seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
