Chapter 189 Test Ride

Melis is usually decisive in doing things. Her personal luxury brand company has been established, with the first investment of 10 million US dollars, Duqi also invested 1.5 million US dollars, owning 15 shares. In addition, Adam and Semp also invested 500,000 US dollars, each occupying 5 shares.

He was not prepared to invest too much money. He knew that Melis did not lack investment, but was just showing support. Duqi just wanted 5 at the beginning. Melis was willing to give him 15 shares. The obvious statement was to return the previous Yigo Supermarket.

I contacted Gulfstream and received a response soon. The two parties made an appointment to take a test flight the next day.

People often test drive cars and sports cars, but Duqi still can't do it now, so they can only say test rides.

The location is Los Angeles Airport, and the other party will send the plane parked in Seattle directly over. In addition to Duches, there are two customers.

The head of Gulfstream was a Jew in a black suit, with a hooked nose, brown hair, tall and thin figure, and with obvious Jewish characteristics.

After seeing Duches, he walked to the front with a smile and stretched out his hand, saying, "It's really a coincidence that two customers want to see the business jet today. One is Mr. Teren Stu, who lives in Seattle, and the other is Mr. Stephen Carter of Las Vegas. He just invested in a Las Vegas casino and needed to purchase two business jets to pick up and drop off distinguished guests.

After the plane flies over from Seattle, it will continue to go to Las Vegas. We will also be responsible for sending you back. You can feel the charm of the business jets produced by our company. I often ride it in real time, and I also feel it is a kind of enjoyment."

After finishing this long passage, the person in charge introduced himself, "Call me West Tour, sales director of Gulfstream Aerospace."

"Hello sir, I decided to come and take a look after listening to Melis' introduction." Duqi and Zhao Wang said with a smile after shaking hands.

The other party is not unfamiliar with Melis. Those who can buy private jets are rich people. Melis is also the target of selling. Duches and Stephen Carter actually know each other. Since he became rich, he has often come into contact with this circle, or has already stood in the top circle.

After sitting down, West continued to introduce, "The plane is about to land at the airport. If you need it, we will have a dedicated person responsible for customizing the interior of the aircraft. You can do whatever interior style you want until you are satisfied. Our company has always respected the opinions of customers.

Recently, I bought a plane and also provided a four-year warranty service. If you don’t know an excellent pilot, our company will help you arrange it, which is definitely your best choice.”

Melis next to him smiled and said, "It seems that your company has a lot of orders?"

"Of course, Gulfstream's products are better than similar business jets on the market. One can be sold in half a month on average. Maybe you don't know our industry, and this kind of sales are already very good!"

Duqi frowned and said, "That means, if I want to buy a plane, I have to wait a long time?"

“…”

Mr. West noticed that he had said something stupid. As a well-known wealthy man in the United States, Duches was also on their list of sales.

I never doubted that the young Duqi in front of me would not be able to afford a private plane, but he seemed to have no interest before. Now he finally had the intention to buy it. The key now is how to make Duqi look at the company's plane.

Too many orders will inevitably lead to a longer waiting time. Many potential customers choose to buy products from other companies because of this, and quickly remedy them.

"This is not certain for the time being. Our company's current production capacity is about three aircraft per month. There are still 37 aircraft waiting for production when we receive orders.

So if you book now, you should be able to get it within one year. Some super sports cars have a waiting period of up to two to three years. It is not ruled out that someone will cancel the order. We will definitely arrange to ship it for you first."

Buying a plane is not about going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. The waiting time for a year is not long. Compared with other business jet manufacturers, the production capacity of three aircraft per month is already very fast.

Thinking of this, Du Qiwei regretted placing an order last year without placing an order, but then threw away this idea and decided to take a look at the situation of the plane first.

Almost every customer wants to get the plane as soon as possible. As a manufacturer, Gulfstream Aerospace is eager to produce it all in just a blink of an eye. However, the manufacturing cycle of the plane is already long and the order volume is excellent. The employees have often worked overtime and used the effort to feed themselves, which has increased the monthly output to about three.

Duqi did not expect that private business jets were more popular than expected, and the orders waiting for delivery were as high as 30. It can be seen that the world is indeed rich, and invisible rich people are not short of them.

The plane arrived soon and had already booked the channel. This was also one of the privileges of private jets. Duqi quickly saw the plane introduced by the other party.

It is nearly twenty-seven meters from beginning to end, with a space of more than thirteen meters in the cabin and a height of only 1.88 meters. Du Qi had to bend over deliberately when he entered, otherwise he would always feel like he would hit his head.

The space performance is better than similar products, and the appearance is quite beautiful, but it always feels a little small, with only twelve seats in the cabin.

The cabin width is about 2.2 meters, with a small bar, table, toilet, lounge, etc. scattered in this small space, with an area of ​​only about 30 square meters, not much spacious, much smaller than expected.

Boeing has a large business jet, and its internal space is much more than this aircraft. Unfortunately, the price is also "beautiful". To achieve Duches' satisfaction, it needs to be customized. The starting price is only 100 million US dollars, and the conversion of a private jet is 100 million US dollars more than the original price. After all, it is a good thing to get what you pay for.

Of course, if you want to order such a super-large business jet, you need to wait for a longer time, basically two or three years. Thinking of this, Duqi felt that he could get a Gulfstream to overtake, fly in the United States, and then order a large passenger plane from Boeing. After you get it, the previous plane could be used as a company's business jet.

After getting on the plane, West opened a bottle of red wine. The beautiful female flight attendant on the plane helped bring the cup and said to Duqi, "These interior decorations are all made of top-notch materials, and they are still the same as new. Look at how comfortable this sofa is.

There is no disturbance to other passengers, nor is there a rigid flight rule. Even the smoking room can be installed. This is your private space, which is much cooler than the ordinary first class."

Having decided to buy a private plane, Du Qi nodded, walked from the front to the end, looked up and down, left and right, returned to the original position and took a sip of red wine, then asked, "Tell me how much it costs, can the plane's space layout and color be customized?"

"Of course, but the prices of different materials have slightly changed. Such an aircraft requires a total of 26.5 million US dollars, including a four-year warranty.

In addition, our company will also provide ten full maintenance for free, with a single price of about 50,000 US dollars. Each aircraft is subject to a special senior engineer. It usually takes thousands of processes, covering multiple parts such as fuselage, large wing, tail wing, engine, landing gear, etc. The aircraft is entrusted to the airline for hosting. They will be responsible for the route arrangement of each flight, as well as post-maintenance work."

Maintaining a car costs money, and raising a private jet costs even more money. Duches knows nothing about these things. He talks with Mr. West for more than 40 minutes before he figures out how to operate. In summary, there is only one point - as long as he is willing to spend money, he doesn't have to worry about anything else.
