Rebirth of India: Superior

"Mr. Pandit, this is the information about that aircraft. Please take a look at it first." With that, Tom handed an information bag in his hand to Shakru. The information in it was faxed, and also from him. Printed from pictures online. Then he continued: "The performance and parameters of the aircraft are basically consistent with the one you booked. However, the interior decoration is slightly different, and the difference is not very big. If you want to change it, you have half a month to change it." That’s enough time.”

The reason why Tom is so enthusiastic about this business is that if he can facilitate this business, his position in the company will definitely be promoted to a higher level. It is said that Raytheon Company attaches great importance to the Indian market. Although this strange country has many poor people, But there are also many rich people, so the market development potential is huge. Therefore, Raytheon plans to establish a new organization in India, but the specific person in charge has not yet been decided. It is this position that Tom wants to fight for.

Shakru briefly glanced at the specific parameters of the aircraft. To be honest, he didn't understand much about these things. However, he could see that the decoration in the cabin was very luxurious. Almost everything that a luxury passenger aircraft could be equipped with. Including it gives people the feeling of a nouveau riche.

In fact, Shakru guessed it right. The guy who originally ordered this private jet was an authentic nouveau riche. The number of billionaires and destitute people who appear on Wall Street every year is basically proportional. Someone gets rich every day. , similarly, people go bankrupt every day.

Although Shakru didn't pay much attention to these interior decorations, he still frowned and said, "Oh, I don't like this style very much."

"Oh, Mr. Pandit, regarding the interior decoration, we can make modifications according to your previous requirements, and all of them are free of charge." After hearing what Shakru said, Tom quickly explained.

"There is also the setting of the cabin door. I don't like it very much. Mr. Tom, you should know that in the original drawing given to your company, the cabin door should be rounded and smaller, which is completely different from this size. I hope your company can remodel it according to my plan." After Shaklu said this, Tom was dumbfounded. It doesn't matter if it's the interior decoration of the cabin, but it involves modifying the cabin door. Now comes the issue of aircraft size.

You must know that an aircraft must comply with many principles such as aerodynamics. It is basically impossible to modify the shape and structure of an aircraft that has been finalized, because it involves the modification of the entire aircraft. Such modifications require a huge amount of money. The funds are very large.

Tom originally thought that Shaklu was eager to get the ready-made aircraft and could sell the aircraft by himself. But now it seems that it is impossible, because the company will never agree to Shaklu's modification plan. In that case, selling the aircraft will be impossible. The plane given to Shakru was almost unprofitable.

So he bit the bullet and said: "Mr. Pandit, I'm afraid we can't fulfill your request. Even if we reluctantly do it, you will still need to pay a modification fee..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shakru interrupted him and said: "Mr. Tom, the price we negotiated before is the price of a complete aircraft. It is unreasonable to charge additional fees. After all, this aircraft, It’s completely different from the style I need. Do you think it’s reasonable for you to ask me to buy such an unsatisfactory aircraft at a price that can buy a satisfactory aircraft?”

What Shakru said is very clear, that is, I can buy this aircraft, but the price cannot be the original price, otherwise it will be unreasonable. You can sell it to whomever you like.

"Mr. Pandit, how about this? If you are willing to buy this aircraft directly and make a one-time payment, we can give you a discount of 500,000 yuan. What do you think?" After understanding what Shakru said, Tom immediately provided a solution. Of course, this was within his scope of authority. After all, modifying such an aircraft would cost much more than half a million dollars.

Unexpectedly, Shaklu shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Tom, you are so insincere. You know, what I told you before is a sofa made of rosewood that needs to be placed in the cabin." , one of those rosewood sofas costs half a million dollars, and what I need is four, which means I don’t have two million dollars. These leather sofas here are really of no quality, and since I saved you the money to modify the model, I think a discount of three million US dollars is a reasonable price. "Actually, this is Shaklu. I'm bullying Tom because he doesn't understand what a rosewood sofa is, so he talks nonsense. Where in the world is there a rosewood sofa?

"This, this, Mr. Pandit, I can't make the decision on this issue. I need to report it to the company first." Tom was sweating from Shakru's series of words. After all, he was just a person who wanted to become a manager. He is just a technical engineer, but his negotiation skills cannot be compared with that of a serious businessman like Shakru.

Shakru nodded as if he didn't care and said: "Of course, Mr. Tom, you can submit my opinions to your company. I don't mind waiting eight months to have my own private jet. Come on, Let’s eat first, the truffles here are very authentic..."

It turned out that Shakru's bargaining strategy was completely correct. After Tom reported Shakru's request to the headquarters, he soon got good news. Since it was an aircraft ordered by others, it was indeed difficult to sell, and Shakru was the first one to intend to buy it, so after consideration, Raytheon promised that if Shakru did not change any part of the aircraft, they would give a discount of two million US dollars.

In this way, Shakru only needed to spend 9 million US dollars to buy this ready-made Hawker aircraft, so Shakru was very happy to sign a purchase contract with Tom.

Originally, for the safety monitoring of this aircraft, in addition to the inspection by relevant US departments, the customer's approval and signature were required. However, since Shakru knew nothing about these processes and aircraft performance, he asked Mukesh to help him handle it, after all, his family had a private pilot. So Shakru, who was extremely bored, could only wander around, but he didn't expect that this stroll would actually bring in business. To be continued.
