Chapter 874 The pie in the sky

The huge fuselage of Airbus A319 appears in the video tape, from far to near, on the LCD TV screen, you can see the giant figure of A319.

There are not a few people in America who own private jets, but most of them are small and medium-sized private business jets. It is no problem to fly around the states of America. They fly to Canada and other North American lands at most, and the range of A319 covers the whole world. Yes, you can fly to major European cities in one go, and you can also fly across the Pacific Ocean to Yanjing!

Larry Page and Sergey Brin listened to John Leiyi introducing the modified A319 private jet to Song Yang, feeling the "plain and boring" daily life of the richest man...

For this modified luxury private jet, they have no idea at all now. As for the idea of ​​what will be available in the future, the two of them have no idea at all.

What a joke, the price of this A319 is more than 3 million US dollars. Google can’t sell it for 100 million US dollars. It is estimated that if this private jet flies around the world, the gas money will be enough to buy Google. , not only the cost, but also the annual maintenance, crew costs, etc., are several times higher than Google's current valuation. This sky behemoth is an out-and-out gold-swallowing beast!

"The interior modification of this A319 is still in the process of modification. Airbus has used the best materials and equipment to ensure that it can reach the original predetermined level!"

John Leiyi said to Song Yang that Song Yang is now the largest private customer of Airbus, not just because of this private jet, but since it was reported that Song Yang booked a private luxury jet from Airbus, America Around the world, a large group of rich technologists have started to order Airbus one after another. Behind Song Yang's reservation of an Airbus, there may be dozens of new orders.

Even though the decoration and modification have not been completed, Larry Page and Sergey Brin can still see the luxury inside the fuselage. There are no rows of seats inside the airliner, and the inside of the fuselage becomes There are functional areas one by one.

Just listening to the terms such as "starry sky roof", "panoramic sunroof", "changes in the interior pattern of the cabin", Larry, Brin and the others seemed to be able to hear the burning of the knife.

"This aircraft is equipped with functions such as air management system, temperature adjustment system, simulated altitude cabin air pressure, etc., so that Song you don't have to worry about altitude and temperature no matter where you go, you can adapt at any time!"

John Leiyi glanced at Larry Page and the others, coughed, and then continued, "In addition, according to Song's request, some "small" modifications have been made to this private jet.

It is equipped with Airbus's most advanced avionics system and a part of the security defense system, including electronic anti-jamming equipment, radar anti-jamming system, misleading heat tracking system, anti-electromagnetic pulse and other equipment. Two sets of emergency ejection devices are installed inside the aircraft. It can be automatically activated in an emergency, and the bomb will fall to a safe landing point! "

"I don't know what configuration is on the plane that the commander-in-chief is on, but I can guarantee that this private plane is a real sky fortress, and it can safely send Song you to any corner of the world. The private jet with the best safety performance ever produced by Airbus!"

John Leigh said in the dull eyes of Larry Page and others, the original cost of the A319 was only more than 2 million US dollars, but after adding a lot of safety systems and equipment, the cost abruptly soared to With more than 3 million U.S. dollars, Airbus did not put offensive weapons on it, and the rest of the defense system and equipment were tinkered with.

Just like Boeing, Airbus not only produces airliners with good intentions, but also has all kinds of fighter jets and electronic equipment at hand. The most advanced fighter jets in Europe are manufactured by Airbus.

Gallo, who was sitting in the lobby, looked at the A319 in the video with great interest, and turned to John Leiyi and asked, "This private jet will be delivered before August this year!"

"If there are no accidents, the test flight and safety inspection have passed!" John Leiyi said to Song Yang.

Hearing John Leigh's words, Gallo couldn't help rubbing his hands. He had been looking forward to holding a party on the A319 for a long time. Holding a party on this A319 will definitely become The legend of the American party world, Hai Li, who was sitting on the side, didn't know Gallo's gaudy intestines, so she pinched him hard in the waist, and Gallo grinned in pain.

"Thank you, President John!"

Song Yang smiled and said to John Lei Yi, when the plane is delivered, Song Yang will definitely invite a third-party professional team to re-check and test the plane. Although Airbus is more reliable than Boeing, it will not take the plane The coding and foundry are handed over to Ah San, but we still need to be more cautious.

"Larry, Brin!"

After closing the videotape, Song Yang said something to Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and then smiled at John Lei Yi, "John, maybe these two will be Airbus new customers!"

Hearing Song Yang's words, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were obviously confused. They didn't expect Song Yang to say this. For a while, they didn't know if Song Yang was joking or teasing them.

Khosla also looked at Larry Page with some doubts. Larry Page and Sergey Brin may still have some doubts about what Song Yang said. Some don't believe it.

However, all the venture capital companies in Silicon Valley no longer have any doubts about Song Yang's words. Song Yang threatened that the two of them would be customers of Airbus private jets. Doesn't that mean that Google may really become a giant? !
John Leiyi looked at Larry Page and Sergey Brin with a smile. Even though his status and worth were much higher than the two of them at the moment, he still handed over his business card to them.

"The two will be users of Airbus in the future. Airbus is willing to do its best to meet the requirements of all users. If there is a need for private jets, you can call me directly!"

After staying at Song Yang's side for a while, John Leiyi left the villa, ready to meet a new user.

Airbus is now competing with Boeing to snatch rich users in America. It is true that America is the place where the richest people gather in the world. There are still a few big customers who can afford private jets. Since they won the order from Song Yang Since then, Airbus has been robbing users everywhere in America, especially the rich in the Internet and technology industries, and they are more fond of Airbus.

Song Yang got up and poured a glass of wine for Larry Page and Sergey Brin himself.

"I've heard rumors about Google. You have the best search technology in Silicon Valley and the largest number of web pages in the entire search industry. But Yahoo, Lycos, Excite, etc. are not willing to accept Google!"

Song Yang smiled and said to the Google duo, hearing this, Larry Page and Sergey Brin both had a burst of distress on their faces. Who would have imagined that technology is better, and it is also a sin. Internet Jianghu The water is much deeper than they imagined.

At this time, Khosla spoke for Larry Page and said, "KPCB Venture Capital will find new partners for Google. There are always partners who are willing to cooperate with Google!"

Song Yang looked at Khosla and laughed, "Is KPCB planning to find an overseas partner for Google, a portal in Canada, Europe or Asia?!"

It is obvious that the major portals in America now look down on Google. Unless KPCB Venture Capital will cooperate with Google to find small Internet companies or overseas portals, it will be difficult to gain a foothold. Even overseas, they will face Yahoo, Pressure from giants such as Excite.

After taking a sip of his drink, Song Yang looked at Larry Page and the two, "North America Global Investment Foundation, is willing to play Google, $300 million in exchange for 65% of Google's equity!"

Hearing this offer, both Larry Page and Sergey Brin showed disbelief on their faces. This offer is far higher than when Google sold itself to Yahoo and Excite. !

At this time, Khosla's heart sank, but before he could speak, Irene, who was sitting on the other side, said something that almost made Khosla jump up in shock.

"When Google completes the rectification, I will join Google, of course, if you two welcome it!"
