Rebirth of India: Superior

After two days of careful study, Shakru decided not to buy Prime Minister One. First of all, "the standing height in the cabin is 165 meters", which Shakru absolutely cannot accept. With his height of nearly 1.8 meters, he has to hunch over when entering and exiting the 1.65-meter cabin. Not to mention the inconvenience when going to the bathroom. You can't spend millions of dollars to make yourself suffer, right? Moreover, none of his beautiful bodyguards are less than 1.7 meters tall. Such a model should be more suitable for Japanese people and not for him.

On the other hand, there are really too few seats in the cabin. Including the driver, only five people can sit there. What is this enough for? Not to mention that the total range of a one-time fuel load is only 2,435 kilometers. At this distance, intercontinental navigation is simply impossible.

Another model, the Hawker 800xp, made him more satisfied. Not only did it have a low runway length requirement, but it could also take off and land from gravel or grass, which made it usable in many domestic airports that were not up to standard. Moreover, the Hawker's cabin is the largest among all mid-size jets. It can accommodate six to ten passengers in different seat layouts, and the headroom of the cabin is also very spacious.

What excites Shakru even more is that the Hawker's maximum range can reach 4,800 kilometers, which is farther than any other medium-sized business jet. In this way, even to places like the United States and the United Kingdom, it only needs to stop on the way. It only requires oil once, which is very practical for Shaklu.

I took another look at the information: "The world's best-selling luxury mid-size business jet. It is equipped with the world's most advanced electronic flight and navigation systems. The cabin is equipped with a central bar, a high-end toilet, fully adjustable leather seats and a flight dynamics display." , high-fidelity audio, DVD and other high-end entertainment facilities, which are completely comparable to the Boeing 747 large passenger aircraft in terms of performance. After takeoff, it quickly climbs to a stable airflow layer of more than 10,000 meters, reducing the possibility of turbulence."

Although this aircraft cost up to 11 million U.S. dollars, Shakru decided to buy one. After all, it was just a one-time purchase. He would rather spend more money than buy a good one, so Shakru asked Mukesh to help contact Raytheon's United States. Headquarters, requested to purchase a Hawker 800xp business jet.

Purchasing a private jet is definitely a big deal. Even a large company like Raytheon has only sold more than 500 high-end private jets around the world. They have to base their decisions on customer needs. Production is carried out according to height preference and various requirements.

Raytheon paid great attention to Shakru's order and sent an expert named Tom to fly from the United States to New Delhi to discuss specific matters with Shakru, including the specific configuration of the cabin, etc., so that Shakru could experience it personally. A feeling that the real customer is God.

The only regret is that Tom said he could not do anything about Shaklu's request for delivery as soon as possible, because the production time of an aircraft must be at least eight months. After all, it is something flying in the sky, and the technical requirements are It is very strict and requires multiple tests. They are responsible for the safety of their guests. Shakru thought about it. He can't use himself as a test pilot, right?

Fortunately, just when Shaklu and Tom had discussed the requirements and configuration of the high-roller, and were waiting to sign the contract and pay the deposit, Tom suddenly called: "Dear Mr. Pandit , I have some news for you, maybe you will be interested?"

"News? What news? Tom, you are not telling me that your company's aircraft will increase in price, are you?" Shakru said jokingly.

"No, it won't. We, Thor, pay attention to credibility. If the price increases, we will hold a press conference in advance." Tom explained to Shaklu seriously, and then continued: "That's it, we I have a Wall Street client who got me last year Our company ordered a Hawker private jet. Unfortunately, he recently went bankrupt, so he had no money to pay for the remaining balance of the aircraft. Now the aircraft is parked on our company's test pad. , has passed the safety monitoring and fully complies with safety standards.”

Before he could finish speaking, Shakru interrupted him and asked: "Wait, Tom, do you mean that this plane can be mine now as long as I want it?" He also complained in his mind that this roundabout and circular speaking style is a Chinese patent. Where did you, an American, learn it? Just ask me if I want to buy it and that's it.

"Mr. Pandit, you are so smart. If I were a lady, I would definitely consider marrying you." Tom's flattery left Shakru speechless. With Tom's speaking level and urgent tone , anyone with a normal mind can understand what he meant. Someone paid a deposit to pre-purchase the aircraft, but now they have no money to buy it. Does Raytheon want to sell it?

"Mr. Pandit, you can take a look at the configuration of this aircraft first. If you have any other needs, we can help you modify it for free." Tom heard that Shakru on the other end of the microphone did not speak, and quickly told the company Let him convey his message.

You should know that Raytheon's customer base is almost the richest group of people on the planet. These rich people are generally very unique and have their own understanding and cognition of beautiful things. The reason why they are willing to spend more money to order private jets is to meet their special needs. For example, the height of the cabin, the interior decoration and furnishings, etc., are all customized according to their own preferences.

And every private jet sold by Raytheon is also tailored for each person, so the plane left by the bankrupt Wall Street tycoon has given Raytheon a headache. They have asked several guests, but no one is willing to take over the plane.

"Mr. Pandit, if you are willing, I can show you the parameters and pictures of this plane, and the price can also be more favorable."

In fact, in general, when encountering such a situation, the company will modify the plane to suit the needs of other customers while ensuring that the main model remains unchanged, but the cost will be much higher. Tom's intention of recruiting Shakru now is to try whether he can sell it without making major changes. Because Shakru had clearly expressed his desire to get a plane as soon as possible.
