Fang Mingyuan can imagine the entanglement between Sony and Nintendo, but it is not something he needs to worry about. If you have to consider all aspects clearly when doing anything, then you should not do anything well!

I have always done a lot with the help of Bill's influence. Now Microsoft is in trouble. As the third largest individual shareholder of Microsoft, helping Microsoft is also helping myself, so Fan Mingyuan did not ask to attend.

The people at the banquet kept their attendance a secret. Later, the reaction of Microsoft's stock price on the Nasdaq stock market also confirmed his popularity and influence. Therefore, Motiejunas found that visiting Boeing with him

Fang Mingyuan from the company is obviously in a good mood.

With Motyjunas, a director of Boeing Company, accompanying him, Fang Mingyuan naturally does not have to follow the tour guide step by step like tourists who come to visit Boeing Company. He must visit Boeing's assembly workshop at a designated location.

He had to admit that even though he had seen news about Boeing's assembly workshop in Seattle on TV and the Internet in his previous life, when he was personally involved in it, Fang Mingyuan was still shocked by what he saw.

Boeing's factory covers an area of ​​more than 5,500 acres, which is as large as nearly 40 football stadiums. Its factory has six gates in a row. According to Motyjunas, each one is 25 meters high.

, one hundred and seven meters wide, equivalent to the size of an American football field. Both people and cars look very small in front of it.

There is a huge machine shed with a total area of ​​4 million square meters, which is said to have entered the Guinness Book of World Records. Because the area is so large, when workers walk through it, many people use bicycles or tricycles. There are also long and

There is a wide test track and a paint shop that looks bigger than the Superdome. On the test flight ground, there are aircraft produced for major airlines. Since the test flight has not yet ended, these aircraft have not been painted with various colors.

Logo of a major airline.

Here, Fang Mingyuan also saw the exhibition hall of the Boeing Aircraft Museum, where there are disassembled components of Boeing aircraft such as engines, cockpits, cabins, wings, etc. This is a paradise for aerospace enthusiasts.

"We have more than 100,000 tourists here every year. Each workshop has a visiting floor on the top floor for visitors to overlook the panoramic view of the workshop." Motai Yunas explained to Fang Mingyuan while nodding to the people on the side.

.

Fang Mingyuan nodded. They had just overlooked the panoramic view of the assembly workshop on the visiting floor. They watched the workers riding tricycles through the huge workshop, looking like tiny giant ants. And the workers in these assembly workshops

The production process is basically similar, in a U-shape, that is to say, turn 180 degrees. The aircraft is now assembled.

It is said that the security measures at the Boeing assembly plant are very strict. Tourists who come to visit are not allowed to bring cameras or mobile phones with them. These shooting and communication tools are not allowed to be carried with them. There are self-service lockers here, and the accompanying tour guides will constantly

Let me remind you. And along the way, there will be Boeing security personnel constantly issuing warnings and verifying them one by one. However, there is no body search during the whole process, and there is no

, is naturally not subject to this restriction.

"We at Boeing are a big family, with a total of about 160,000 employees across the country. In Seattle alone, there are 20,000 employees!" Motiejunas said with pride.

"Gray, I heard that your Boeing company also has 24-hour nurseries, canteens, cafes, hospitals and other supporting facilities, and even has its own fire fighters?" Fang Mingyuan said.

Motyjunas nodded and said: "Yes, you have also seen that our factory is very large and is quite far away from downtown Seattle. In order to ensure that our company's employees can devote themselves to their work, there is no

We have no worries, so our company provides employees with a lot of logistical services to ensure that employees can meet their needs as soon as possible."

"Didn't the provision of these logistics services bring a significant increase in operating costs to your company?" Lin Rong asked. In China, the same is true for large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

There are even primary and secondary schools and vocational schools. However, in the process of reform, in order to reduce the burden on enterprises, they have either been closed or pushed to the society. However, social forces have not been able to afford this in time, which has resulted in children's

A series of social problems such as difficulty in enrolling in day care and school entrance.

Motayunas glanced at Lin Rong with some surprise and said: "The increase in operating costs is inevitable, but considering that doing so can gather employees' recognition and loyalty to the company, and ensure that they have full

Work with spirit, all these seemingly extra efforts are worth it. Boeing delivered a total of 334 aircraft to major airlines in the world last year, almost one aircraft a day, if not

It is impossible to achieve this achievement by allowing our workers to work with peace of mind!"

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but think of the annual report released by Boeing at the beginning of this year that he just saw in the showroom. It was mentioned above that Boeing's annual revenue in 1999 was nearly 58 billion U.S. dollars.

Ranked tenth among large companies, and its net profit reached US$2.3 billion!

This is in China, but it is basically the same as the GDP of Magic City last year! And Magic City has a population of tens of millions and countless large and small companies! As for Fengyuan, not to mention, in 1999

The gross national product has not exceeded 100 billion yuan.

The group of people strolled around the factory area casually, and even had a meal in Boeing's cafeteria.

"Are you interested in taking a look at our Boeing business jets?" Motyjunas accidentally heard that Fang Mingyuan was now using a Gulfstream company's luxury business jets, and Motyjunas took the initiative to let them take a look at Boeing's business jets.

"Boeing still has business jets?" Fang Mingyuan said with some surprise. In the business jet market, he has heard of Bombardier, Beechcraft, Raytheon and Dassault, but he has never heard that Boeing still produces business jets.

Business jet.

Motyjunas said with a wry smile: "We are a newly developed market. In the last century, well... In 1996, we established a joint venture with GE Company to establish Boeing Business Jets. Currently, there are already BBJ Business Jets

The aircraft was put on the market. It was developed based on the Boeing 737700 as a prototype. On the basis of the 737700, the wings and landing gear were strengthened, and integrated winglets were added. There are 9 auxiliary fuel tanks and the range is increased.

The maximum range can reach 11,480 kilometers! The power plant still uses the CFM567 series engine of GE Company..." Motayunas reported a series of data like a treasure trove.

"Moreover, we are continuing to develop the BBF-2 business jet, which will be based on the 737800 aircraft. Compared with the 737700-based BBJ, the length will be increased by 5.85 meters and the space will be increased by 25%. If everything goes well, then

By next year, it will be launched on the market!”

"Gray, what is the length and space of the bbj?" Fang Mingyuan's heart moved and he asked.

"The fuselage length is 33.6 meters, the passenger cabin width is 3.53 meters, and the cargo hold volume is 27.3 cubic meters. It is reliable, simple, and extremely economical in operation and maintenance costs!" Motel

Yunus replied immediately.

"The length of the BBJ-2 business jet is 5.85 meters longer, and the space is 25% larger?" Fang Mingyuan said. Motyjunas gave him an affirmative answer.

Fang Mingyuan raised his head and calculated silently. If he calculated it this way, Boeing's BBJ 2 business jet would have much more space than his current Gulfstream business jet. As Fan Mingyuan's career gets bigger and bigger, he spends a lot of time on the plane every year.

More and more time has passed. Moreover, the number of people accompanying us has been growing.

More importantly, with the rapid development of the companies to which the Fang family belongs, corporate executives are flying more and more domestically and abroad. Many times, the Gulfstream business jet he currently owns is also busy with tasks.

Therefore, he has recently been considering whether to introduce two to three more business jets to ensure the needs of others. After getting used to the convenience of private jets, he is really grateful for airline flights, especially domestic ones.

Not only is the service unsatisfactory, but the on-time performance of these flights cannot be complimented. If there is any slight disturbance, there will be widespread delays and passengers will have to stay at the airport for a long time. This is undoubtedly a problem for senior business people for whom time is money.

It's intolerable.

Therefore, if the BBJ II aircraft is really good, buying a few of them is also a good choice. After all, as an old aircraft manufacturer, Boeing's aircraft quality is still very good, and the 737 is mature.

The model of the aircraft, which is a converted business jet, is quite reassuring.

Motyjunas was secretly happy. The reason why he mentioned Boeing's business jets was actually to impress Fang Mingyuan. Although Boeing is the largest passenger aircraft manufacturer in the world, it is an out-and-out leader in business jet manufacturing.

The "newcomer" being buckled, bbj business jet, is a large business jet. It is not a truly powerful company or individual and cannot afford to support it. Therefore, since its launch, although the sales volume is not bad, it cannot make Boeing feel satisfied.

satisfy.

If he can convince Fang Mingyuan to buy a plane, it will not only be a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but also an advertisement for Boeing! There are many celebrities and rich people in Hollywood! Moreover, Fang Mingyuan is from China, and China is close to

The economy has been developing at a rapid pace in the past few years, and there are more and more wealthy people in the country. The demand for private business jets is also rising day by day. It is conceivable that there will be a huge area in the future that has not been manufactured by the existing business jets.

Boeing is salivating over the huge pie divided by the company! Naturally, he who facilitated this deal has many benefits!

"How much will the price of Type BBJ II be approximately?" Fang Mingyuan said.

Motyjunas said with great joy: "There is no exact figure yet, but we estimate it will be around 80 million US dollars. If you are interested, I can make the decision and give you a 10% discount!" A profit of 8 million US dollars at a time.

US dollars, he thought he had given Fang Mingyuan enough face.

"Eighty million U.S. dollars? It's much higher than the price quoted for the latest G550 business jet being developed by Gulfstream Aerospace Company!" Fang Mingyuan frowned slightly and said, "How many have been booked so far?" He is also a Gulfstream business jet.

He is an old user of the aircraft, so he will be notified of any new developments of Gulfstream Aerospace Company.

"There are currently no customers who have made formal reservations because the company has not officially launched publicity and pre-sales." Motayunas said. "Fang, there is indeed a difference in price between the G550 business jet and our BBJ II business jet.

There is a small gap, but the comfort, long-range, and large capacity that our bbj-2 business jets have is something they do not have. We can not only provide sofas for our VIPs, but also have a complete set of master and guest bedrooms, and

There are bathrooms and toilets with full bath facilities, as well as various other luxurious and comfortable facilities, ensuring the sleeping needs of eight to ten people, providing you with a pleasant and energetic trip!”

"That means that if I want to buy it, I will be the first customer of this model?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Indeed, if Motyjunas said, from the performance parameters he reported,

The bbj Type 2 business jet is indeed more suitable for business and family travel than the business jets currently produced by other companies. Especially families with many brothers and sisters.

"Yes, that's why I'm giving you a 10% discount!" Motayunas said slightly nervously.

"It's a bit high!" Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said. Although it is nothing to his net worth, it would not be him if he didn't bargain.

"It's already 10% off!" Motyjunas couldn't help but "wailed". This is already a discount of 8 million US dollars!

Fang Mingyuan spread his hands helplessly and said: "There is no way. You should also know that our country has a very high tax on the purchase of business jets, accounting for almost one-fifth of the selling price. I will have to pay almost a penny more."

It takes more than 10 million U.S. dollars to bring it into the country. I think everyone except the princes of Middle Eastern countries should think carefully about a private business jet that costs nearly 100 million U.S. dollars."

Motyjunas wanted to say, that’s because of the high taxes in your country. What does it have to do with our Boeing company?

"How about a 25% discount?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

Motiejunas took a breath. 25% off! That’s almost 20 million US dollars less! Even though he is a director of Boeing, he does not have such high privileges.

Just when he was about to refuse, Fang Mingyuan said lightly: "If you agree, I will order three!" He planned to allocate one to Aso Xiangyue from Moscow and Lin Lian from Japan. In this way, it would not only highlight them.

Their status makes it easier for them to travel!

"Three... three planes!" Motyjunas almost bit his tongue. Even if one is worth 60 million US dollars, three planes, including the cost of decoration and renovation, would be almost 200 million US dollars!

"Yes, three! Three BBJ II business jets!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "As the first major customer of the new business jet, and considering the advertising effect, I think my request is not

Isn’t that too much?”

Although Motai Yunas wanted to say in his heart that you bargained really hard, he had to admit that Fang Mingyuan was not messing around. Motai Yunas said hesitantly: "Within 20% off, I can personally decide.

A 25% discount must be decided by the company’s board of directors. After all, Boeing Business Jets and GE have shares!”

Fang Mingyuan suddenly realized, no wonder Motai Yunus was a little hesitant.

Motyjunas thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Well, Fang, do you want to use a new private business jet as soon as possible? We now have a completed bbj business jet, and the owner is because of the new economy.

collapse, and can no longer afford to pay for the purchase. As long as you agree to purchase three bbj-2 business jets at a 20% discount, I can make the decision and sell you this bbj-2 business jet for US$30 million. If you don’t plan to

If there are major changes, it will take at most one month to officially obtain it. The market price of our bbj business jet is now around 60 million US dollars, and orders have been placed until 2005!"

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan was a little surprised. Since the order had been placed in 2005, how could no one take a fancy to this business jet? You know, in many cases, those rich people would rather pay more than pay more.

I am willing to procrastinate for several years before getting the airplane I like.

"This aircraft has already undergone basic interior decoration and is more suitable for private family travel, so those corporate customers are not willing to pay for re-decoration. Moreover, I have given you a big discount.

If it were anyone else, it would have to come up with at least 45 million US dollars. I see that you don’t have many people accompanying you, and this bbj business jet can fully meet your needs. And by this time next year, it will almost be

The bbj-2 business jet can now be renovated based on your request!"

"Well..." Fang Mingyuan nodded. If this was the case, it would make sense.

Motyjunas looked at Fang Mingyuan nervously. If Fan Mingyuan nodded and agreed, then he would be in luck today! This is a sum of up to 220 million U.S. dollars. If the subsequent decoration costs are included, then

It’s a $250 million deal!

Fang Mingyuan looked at him and smiled: "So, Gray, can you tell me its specific situation?" (To be continued...)
