Chapter 194 I want it all
"Mr. Gu, please come this way."
The Airbus representative respectfully took Gu Heng to their exhibition area.
Looking at the brand new Airbus planes in front of him, Gu Heng couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
One after another, planes of various sizes appeared in front of everyone without any concealment.
The Airbus representative led Gu Heng towards the already set up gangway and continued, "This Airbus A380 began production in 21 years, and the order was placed by an airline from the Middle East.
Although at present, this aircraft is only a semi-finished product, with only the interior decoration not yet completed, it is fully qualified to take off.
Mr. Gu, you can take a quick look at the machine, and we will have a professional instructor to answer your questions. "
Gu Heng didn't say much, and walked up the gangway with Ouyang Nana, Frédéric Arnault and others.
As soon as he got on the plane, Gu Heng looked at the empty cabin and was slightly stunned.
Is this the unfinished interior decoration?
There's no decoration at all.
Just now I was outside admiring this huge monster that is dozens of meters long, but as soon as I came in, I saw this?
It’s like buying a house by yourself. The exterior of the house is decorated extremely luxuriously, but when you open the door and go in, you find that it is an unfinished house. What’s the point of looking at it?
Thinking of this, Gu Heng couldn't help but frown.
The representative of Airbus also understood Gu Heng's expression and said quickly: "Mr. Gu, although this A380 is not as luxurious as Prince Alwaleed's private jet, it has unlimited possibilities.
You can imagine, if you buy this plane, you can customize it to your desired look, wouldn’t it be more fulfilling?”
Gu Heng waved his hand, gave up the idea of continuing to walk around, and said, "Just briefly introduce the advantages of this plane."
After Gu Heng asked, the introduction staff beside him quickly said: "Mr. Gu, the Airbus A380 is the world's largest wide-body passenger aircraft manufactured by European Airbus, and there is no other. This aircraft can accommodate 555 passengers in a typical three-cabin configuration, and can carry up to 850 passengers when the highest density seat arrangement is used.
Of course, you want a private jet, and the number of passengers may not be an advantage in your eyes.
but!
Our Airbus A380 has a property that no other aircraft has, and that is a spacious interior space!
The total area of the two-story cabin is 550 square meters, which is equivalent to 3 tennis courts or 1.25 basketball courts. With a little decoration, it can become a luxury mansion that can fly into the blue sky, which is something other business jets simply cannot do.
It is precisely because of this advantage that wealthy people in the Middle East place one private jet order after another with us.
Because in this world, there is no other aircraft that can be a substitute for our Airbus A380! It is the only one! "
After listening to this, Gu Heng also nodded slightly.
I have also flown on the Airbus A380, and I am very impressed with the enjoyment of this part.
I had previously taken Fu Songyang’s private jet. Although it was called a private jet, it was actually not very comfortable at all. The space was so narrow that it couldn’t even accommodate a larger sofa, let alone a bedroom and a bed.
It’s okay for a short domestic flight of a few hours, but for a long-distance flight, this kind of private jet is not even as good as sitting in the first class of an airline.
But the Airbus A380 is different. In addition to the highly private bedroom, you can create a more comfortable gaming environment for yourself and the flight attendants, as well as entertainment venues such as the audio-visual room and indoor golf.
Under such conditions, let alone a single flight, even if a person lives on the plane for a year or two, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Heng was not prepared to continue listening to the guide's introduction, but asked the Airbus representative: "How much is your plane selling for?"
Frédéric Arnaud: “???”
Nicholas, Dugu: “???”
Ouyang Nana: “???”
Representatives from Boeing, Bombardier, and Gulfstream: “???”
After hearing Gu Heng's words, all the people who boarded the plane had questions in their heads.
They knew that Gu Heng was rich, but his wealth shouldn’t be so outrageous, right?
This is a private jet.
It is one of the most expensive private jets in the world.
You asked for the price within two minutes of standing on the plane?
Isn't it a bit too casual?
Even the Airbus representative couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this answer.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Heng had just spent 1500 million euros yesterday, and if it weren't for the fact that the third son of the LV Group had introduced him to the representatives of the aviation manufacturing companies present, they would have even suspected that Gu Heng was here to amuse himself.
However, despite their doubts, the Airbus representative quickly answered Gu Heng's questions.
"According to current market prices, the Airbus A380 is priced at $4.35 million."
“US$4.35 million.”
Gu Heng whispered this number softly.
According to the current exchange rate, the value of this plane has reached 30 billion RMB.
Gu Heng suddenly felt a little guilty.
Even though he spent 1500 million euros yesterday and the system rewarded him 5.4 million RMB, his current asset balance was only 10.7 billion RMB, barely enough to pay one-third of the bill.
As for the American Express Black Card?
No upper limit is just a saying. Once it exceeds the risk control range, the payment for yourself will be suspended immediately.
Gu Heng didn't know whether his black card could be used to pay out $4.35 million.
With this in mind, Gu Heng did not make a rash decision this time. Instead, he left a satisfied expression and asked the Boeing representative to take him to see another super plane, the Boeing 777.
I quietly sent a text message to Livia, asking about some black card details.
"Mr. Gu, this is our Boeing 777.
Unlike the Airbus A380 you just saw, our Boeing 777 has been fully renovated and only requires formalities for declaration. It is fully capable of any flight!
Moreover, I dare to tell you that our plane is in no way inferior to the private jet of any wealthy person in the world.
The interior of the aircraft is customized by the world's top designers, and the decoration materials used are also top-notch! In terms of price, our fully completed private customized aircraft is tens of millions of dollars cheaper than the empty shell aircraft just now."
"Oh?"
When Gu Heng heard this, he immediately became interested.
He knew that customizing a private jet was a very tedious process, because the cost of building an aircraft was too high, and no aircraft manufacturing company would build an aircraft without an order. Whether it was an order from an airline or a private jet, it was almost always a pre-order.
And this Boeing 777 in front of us was actually manufactured by Boeing without anyone ordering it?
And you were so thoughtful to complete the decoration?
"Could this be a second-hand item that someone else didn't want after ordering it?"
The Airbus representative said something sarcastic, but he asked Gu Heng what he was wondering. The Boeing representative glanced at the Airbus representative with disdain, then turned his expression back to respect and said to Gu Heng: "Mr. Gu, to be honest, we at Boeing have already planned to enter the private jet field. In the future, we will not only accept private orders from all over the world, but also take the initiative to manufacture private jets for the world's wealthy to choose from, in order to shorten the long period of customization time!
Currently, Boeing is the only aviation manufacturing company in the world that can achieve this, because only we have the most sufficient funds! "
Seeing the Boeing representative being so arrogant, the representatives of the other three companies couldn't help but want to step on him.
But it should be said that the customization period of a private jet is indeed a very discouraging thing. After all, few people are willing to spend three, five, or even longer years waiting for a plane.
This move by Boeing directly touched the sore spot of some wealthy people.
There is nothing more refreshing than being able to pick up a plane in a few days.
But as the Boeing representative just said, only Boeing can do this, because the funds of Airbus, Bombardier, and Gulfstream do not allow them to operate in this mode.
Seeing that the representatives of the other three companies were silent, the Boeing representative ignored them and said respectfully: "Mr. Gu, I wonder if you are satisfied with the appearance of this Boeing 777?
Compared to the monotonous appearance of other aircraft, our Boeing has also made great changes in appearance design!
The exterior design of this aircraft uses the most advanced technology and materials, showing a breathtaking beauty. To be honest, the cost of the exterior design of this aircraft alone is as high as millions of dollars!
There are 1600 Boeing 777s in the world, but only a few have been converted into luxurious private custom aircraft, becoming the ultimate product that only one in a billion people own, and a symbol of the unique status and taste of the rich! Since it is a symbol of status and taste, it naturally cannot be the same as an ordinary civil airliner, it needs to have the highest recognition! "
Gu Heng looked at the huge machine in front of him, listened to the words of the Boeing representative, and nodded slightly.
In this regard, he was certainly not bragging.
The appearance of this aircraft is even more stylish than the Airbus A380 owned by Saudi Prince Alwaleed. It is definitely a show-off.
When they walked into the cabin, there was another series of shocked gasps.
Even Frederick, Nicholas, and Dugu, the three well-informed heirs of European wealthy families, couldn't help but stare with their eyes wide open, not to mention Ouyang Nana, whose mouth formed an O shape, with a look of shock on her face.
She has flown in a private jet.
I also prepared myself mentally in advance.
But I was still completely shocked by the scene before my eyes.
Is this still an airplane?
Even the five-star hotels you stay in around the world can't compare to the interior of this plane, right?
Gu Heng's mood was actually not much different from Frederick, Ouyang Nana and the others, but he suppressed his mood and walked around the entire interior of the plane under the guidance of the Boeing representative.
"The interior decoration of this luxury private jet is comparable to the presidential suite of the seven-star Burj Al Arab in Dubai. It has a private cinema that can accommodate 30 people, a conference room, a reception room and a karaoke room, a banquet hall and a large luxury suite. The suite is equipped with a cloakroom, bathroom, toilet and a large double bed, providing a first-class rest and entertainment environment for the owner and passengers.
It can accommodate up to 50 to 60 passengers, and the cabin space can be adjusted as needed to suit the needs of different passengers, perfectly handling both private travel and business meetings.
The aircraft's cruising speed is usually between 850 and 928 km/h, which means it can reach its destination quickly in a short period of time, ensuring that passengers can complete their journey as quickly as possible while enjoying a comfortable flight experience.
Moreover, this aircraft has the world's best long-term flight capability. Its range is usually between 1.2 and 1.5 kilometers, which means it can fly non-stop for up to 14 to 16 hours and can cover most parts of the world.
In simple terms, it is just a takeoff, and Mr. Gu can choose to go to any country in the world!"
As Gu Heng listened to the introduction and looked at the huge bedroom in front of him, he had already made up his mind.
buy!
Must buy!
It is no exaggeration to say that this aircraft is even better than the Airbus A380 that he borrowed.
After all, Prince Alwaleed's plane was designed more than ten years ago.
He couldn't even imagine how great it would be if he could take this plane and travel around with his harem!
With this in mind, Gu Heng started asking for quotes again.
"how much is it?"
"Mr. Gu, this luxury private jet Boeing 777 is priced at $3.8 million. Although the price is high, it is definitely worth it! For wealthy people like you who seek luxury and unique experiences, this aircraft is undoubtedly an incomparable asset. It not only provides a comfortable travel experience, but also can be a way to show personal taste and status."
3.8 million US dollars, which is 380 million US dollars cheaper than the unfinished Airbus A5000 mentioned earlier.
But this does not mean that the Airbus A380 is not worth the price. If you must compare the two, it is the difference between a fully decorated three-bedroom apartment and a rough villa. Once the villa is decorated, it will definitely be better than the three-bedroom apartment.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng did not rush to respond to the Boeing representative, but turned to the Airbus representative and said, "If I buy the Airbus A380 you just mentioned, how long will it take for you to deliver it?"
The Airbus representative could only helplessly say, "Mr. Gu, we at Airbus adopt a pre-order system. If you start ordering today, you may have to wait until 2027, which is three years later, for delivery."
"The fastest?"
“It will take at least a year.”
He also knew that after answering Gu Heng, this order would be completely ruined.
After listening to the answer from the Airbus representative, Gu Heng turned his attention to the Boeing representative again: "I want this plane. Can we sign the contract now?"
"sure!!"
The smile on the Boeing representative's face was harder to suppress than AK's at this point.
"Okay, let's go sign the contract first."
Gu Heng said, ignoring everyone's reaction, and walked out of the plane. The Boeing representative followed closely behind Gu Heng, fearing that this big customer with a multi-hundred-million-dollar order would run away.
When he was about to reach the cabin door, he found that the Airbus representative was still far away from him. Gu Heng asked directly: "Why? Airbus doesn't want to take my business?"
Airbus representative: “???”
"Didn't you decide to buy this Boeing 777?"
Gu Heng smiled jokingly: "Did anyone stipulate that you can only buy one private jet?"
I just received a text message from Livia. She told me that the minimum risk limit for black cards is 10 billion US dollars. Unless I can't pay the bills later, the limit will be reduced. Otherwise, the limit will only increase and not decrease.
In other words, I now have $10 billion in disposable cash flow.
You are so rich now, why are you still so stingy?
Since I like both, I bought both.
Anyway, it only adds up to 8 million US dollars. By then, even if the system rewards 3 times the amount, and after paying off the black card bill, my assets will be able to exceed billion yuan.
This Boeing 777 is used for personal use, and the other Airbus A380 is used as the company's business jet.
No money, no choice.
Of course if you have money you want them all!
