In the two connected giant parking sheds of Los Angeles Long Beach Airport, several huge Boeing airliners that used to be parked have disappeared. Instead, a small and medium-sized airliner with a length ranging from 10 meters to 50 meters has been replaced. If you count the ones on the square outside the parking shed, there are nearly 100 of them, which is astonishing.
Compared with airplanes, the number of people watching the scene is sparse. Private airplanes, no matter where they are placed, are high-end goods, and can not be consumer goods for the general public.
Although there are wonderful activities such as flying experience, flying performance and fashion beauty show on the exhibition site, Murphy and Gail gado are not interested in them. They get off the bus and go straight to the aircraft exhibition area.
After entering the exhibition area, grace and a fashionable and beautiful blonde have been waiting in front of the parking shed.
"Murphy, Gail..." Grace introduced them. "This is miss klebsen. She''s acting for a number of companies."
"Hello." Murphy nodded her head.
The woman, klebsen, said with a warm smile, "it''s a great honor to serve you both."
They have something else to do in the evening, Gail gado said directly, "take us to see the plane."
Klebsen led the way, followed by Murphy, Gail gado and grace, and soon they came to the Boeing exhibition area.
"Boeing has two aircraft on display this time..." Klebsen pointed to two planes, one big and the other small, and said, "the big one is the Boeing 757. In addition to being used for civil aviation, this plane can also be converted into a private plane. At present, the car of Donald Trump, a real estate tycoon in New York, is the Boeing 757."
She looked at another smaller aircraft and said, "this is the latest BBJ series private aircraft launched by Boeing, with the Boeing 737 as the prototype."
Compared with the requirements of Murphy and Gail gado, the Boeing 757 series is too large. They are just purchasing a more comfortable air private vehicle, rather than building an air palace.
Gail gado takes a look at Murphy and Murphy whispers, "make up your mind."
From many years ago, Gail gado was in charge of the two people''s life affairs.
In yesterday''s discussion, Boeing''s BBJ series and Airbus''s ACJ, as well as the latest large business aircraft of Gulfstream, a famous business aircraft manufacturer, were the two main objects of their investigation.
"Let''s take a look at the BBJ series." Gail gado said.
Klebsen immediately made a gesture of invitation, "three, this way."
Murphy follows Gail gado, just pays, leaving everything else to his fiancee.
Grace was with him.
In fact, grace once recommended Boeing''s BBJ series business aircraft to him. Murphy still remembers that a few days ago, she said that if she wanted to travel to three cities in one day, if she wanted to put the whole company''s decision-making level into a plane, if she wanted to work in the flight, if she wanted to complete the shareholders'' meeting, if she wanted to have a comfortable big bed on the plane, and if she wanted to have a spacious shower, all these were not good The problem is that Airbus and Boeing BBJ can fully meet the demand.
However, Murphy is very clear that the price is more than $60 million in purchase costs, as well as a steady stream of related investment.
Klebert said hello to the staff next to him, and took Murphy and his party to the plane. The plane is a prototype, which is decorated resplendently and has the momentum of an Arab sheikh''s car.
Gail gado frowned when he saw the golden interior.
"It''s a prototype made by the company for the sheikhs." Klebsen immediately noticed these, immediately said, "interior decoration and design, the company can build with the customer''s opinion."
Before Murphy came here, he had a certain understanding that after buying a business jet, the design cost of the interior usually increases by millions of dollars.
"The Boeing BBJ is undoubtedly the most luxurious and comfortable transport utility in the world."
After taking Murphy and others around the plane, klebsen said, "it''s a derivative of a trunk airliner, which uses the same fuselage and engine as a civil aviation flight. The huge internal space can hold more fuel and fly farther; they can add more service facilities and give each passenger relatively independent space, which is more comfortable than any first-class flight. "
Klebsen''s introduction includes the number of seats customers need to arrange, the material of leather, the color of carpet and wallpaper, the choice of washing equipment, the configuration of on-board entertainment equipment, the size of LCD screen, additional network and communication equipment, and even the brightness of lighting, all of which can be designed and scheduled.
It will take at least a year before and after the aircraft is finally delivered to users.
I don''t know why, Gail gado was not very satisfied with the plane. After getting out of the cabin, he said to Murphy, "I don''t like this one."
Murphy nodded. "Go to another house."
"Miss klebsen..." Gail gado called out to the agent in front of him and said, "let''s go to Gulfstream.""Good." Klebsen did not have any impatience. He once again showed a warm smile and led the way. "I don''t know which model do you want to see?"
Gail gado has a clear goal, "G650 business plane."
Compared with Boeing, Gulfstream has more aircraft in the exhibition area, but Gulfstream mainly focuses on G550 and G650.
Go to the Gulfstream exhibition area, Gail gado directly around the G650, for the appearance of this business aircraft seems to be very satisfied.
Klebsen, who was beside her, was very observant. At the beginning, he didn''t say anything until Gail gado turned around. Then he timely said, "the launch of G650 business aircraft shows the revolutionary vision of Gulfstream company. This aircraft has almost become the synonym of private aircraft. It has set a new standard in the field of business aircraft, and has become the business aircraft with the most spacious cabin area, the most noble cabin area and superior cruising speed
Gail gado, unmoved, said, "let''s go up and have a look."
Klebsen took a look at Murphy and saw that he hardly spoke during the whole process. He fully understood that the person who could give decisive opinions was the director''s fiancee.
"Come in, please." Klebsen went to the front spiral staircase first, and continued to introduce the advantages of this aircraft. "The pressure altitude of G650 cabin is the lowest among all business airplanes - only 4850 feet. Even at the maximum cruising altitude of 51000 feet, the pressure of cabin is the same, which can effectively reduce the fatigue of long-distance flight."
Entering the cabin of C650, Murphy followed Gail gado and looked back and forth.
Different from the brilliant decoration of the Boeing BBJ prototype just seen, the interior of this G650 prototype is a typical official design.
"In order to improve the work efficiency, Gulfstream has expanded the length of the passenger activity area in the cabin, thus increasing the seat tilt and broadening the leg activity space."
I don''t know when klebsen stood between Murphy and Gail gado. She was obviously a smart person and would not ignore such an important person as Murphy. "With the increase of cabin width, more spacious seats, larger aisle space and a conference area can be set up."
"Come and see." She stepped forward and went to the meeting area, and said, "there are three seats in the meeting area, which is enough to accommodate six passengers for meeting or dining. With the increase of space, people can choose larger boxes, such as transforming into double beds and other facilities."
In addition, klebsen also gave Murphy and Gail gado a field demonstration of the complete kitchen and bar of G650, as well as a variety of entertainment facilities, including satellite phone, wireless Internet, 26 inch LCD display, etc.
It took more than half an hour for Murphy and Gail gado to get off the plane.
Getting off the plane, he asked in a low voice, "how''s it going, honey?"
"Not bad." Gail gado obviously preferred the plane. "We buy the plane for official use, not for home use."
In this respect, the G650 is more suitable than Boeing''s BBJ.
Although the plane is smaller than the Boeing BBJ, it can also carry 10 passengers and four crew members, which is enough for Murphy and Gail gado. Moreover, the plane is small, but it can fly more than 7000 nautical miles.
This means it can fly directly from Dubai to New York or from London to Buenos Aires.
Finally, klebsen talked about the performance of the aircraft. "Gulfstream uses a high thrust Rolls Royce br725 engine, which can fly at a speed close to Mach 1 for a short distance, making the G650 the closest to the speed of sound and the farthest plane in the high-speed flight of business aircraft. No traditional business jet can make you enjoy such a close to the speed of sound."
She was very clear that customers didn''t understand and didn''t like the boring technical parameters, so she simply said, "with such a fast speed and a maximum range of 12964 km, the G650 once flew from Burbank, California to Savannah, the Gulfstream headquarters in Georgia at a high speed. The flight of more than 3545 km only took 3 hours and 26 minutes, showing the extraordinary speed and speed of the Gulfstream G650 business aircraft "Fuel saving cruise capability."
"And the price?" Gail gado asked another question of concern, "I heard there''s a discount at the air show?"
Although they are rich now, she is not a spendthrift.
"In view of the fame of miss gado and Mr. Stanton," the woman said very well, "both of them are bound to bring huge advertising effect to Gulfstream. I can guarantee that Gulfstream will give you another 10% discount on the basis of the original price!"
Gail gado took a look at Murphy. Murphy nodded slightly. She said, "that''s it."
Klebsen instantly laughed, such a happy customer is very rare.
Murphy then said, "grace, Gail and I are still busy at night. You are responsible for the follow-up contract and other matters."
He and Gail gado have dinner with Charlize Theron.(to be continued). )
