On December 11, Li Guangyu went to Seattle, where Boeing is headquartered. This time he went to Boeing to buy an airplane to use as his own special plane. Nowadays, as the number of groups increases, he travels to the world every year.
It is much more convenient for various places to have their own private planes, which is also safer.
After learning that Li Guangyu needed to buy a special plane, the three major aircraft companies of the United States, Boeing, Gulfstream, and Canada's Bombardier, all contacted Zhang Ziyu, his assistant at the time, and invited Li Guangyu to visit their companies. The reason why Li Guangyu chose Boeing was,
Because Boeing has a long range, the Boeing 747-200 goes directly from Los Angeles to Xiangjiang without having to stop for refueling in Hawaii.
When Li Guangyu arrived at the Seattle Airport, Boeing CEO Stim Cole had been waiting here for a long time.
After Li Guangyu got off the plane, Stim Cole came up to him and said: "Mr. Li, welcome to your arrival. I am Stim Cole, President of Boeing Company."
Li Guangyu responded with a smile: "Mr. Cole, thank you for coming to the airport to greet me. You Boeing are so enthusiastic."
"Mr. Li's ability to come to our Boeing company for a visit is a sign of trust in our company, and we naturally have to do a good job of receiving you," Stim Cole said.
Boeing's solemn reception of Li Guangyu this time also hopes to use Li Guangyu's influence to open up the private jet market in Asia. Currently, in Asia, this market is mainly controlled by Gulfstream and Bombardier. Boeing is in the field of private jets in Asia.
There is no market.
Li Guangyu and others got into the vehicle sent by Stim Cole and headed to Boeing's headquarters in Seattle.
In the car, Stim Cole said: "Mr. Li, our Boeing 747-200 is also an aircraft produced in the past few years. The various designs are very advanced. None of the aircraft sold in the past two years has had problems. You Xiangjiang
Cathay Pacific also has an aircraft of our type, and I think Li Sheng must have flown on it. We can completely modify it for you on this basis, and then the interior will be more comfortable and suitable for your ride."
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Cole, since I chose to visit your Boeing as the first stop, I also hope to buy from you. After all, your Boeing 747-200 aircraft model has enough space. Even after modification, my travel
There is no problem with the crew. At the same time, I am quite optimistic about your voyage. Due to business relationships, I will often travel from Xiangjiang to the United States, or from Xiangjiang to England. In this regard, you still have a great advantage."
Boeing developed this model of aircraft at that time to increase the maximum flight weight, increase the fuel capacity, and increase the range to serve airlines with long-distance routes. This model could also be used by wealthy people like Li Guangyu who need to travel around the world.
.
He also knows what Li Guangyu is worried about. The main reason is that Boeing is not as famous as Gulfstream and Bombardier in private jets. In terms of internal modifications, layout, and comfort, it is not as good as the other two, so Li Guangyu did not place an order immediately.
.
Stim Cole said: "Mr. Li, in order to occupy the private jet market, our company specially hired their cabin interior designer from Gulfstream. Through his design layout, you can make your flight on such a private jet more comfortable."
Comfortable.”
Stim doesn't want to let go of Li Guangyu's order this time. He is a walking advertisement. With his purchase of Boeing products, people in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Lisboa, Taiwan, and even Japan may consider their Boeing products.
product.
After arriving at the Boeing headquarters, Stim Cole introduced Li Guangyu to Boeing's internal decoration designer. Li Guangyu could tell him any requirements for the internal decoration layout, and he would design it according to Li Guangyu's requirements.
After Li Guangyu visited the Boeing headquarters, Stim Cole also personally led Li Guangyu and others to the Boeing aircraft manufacturing base, where they visited a Boeing 747-200 aircraft that was being manufactured and was about to be delivered.
When Li Guangyu entered the manufacturing base and looked at the parked airplanes and the airplanes being assembled in the workshop, he was still shocked. These companies are the embodiment of a country's strength. Even though the market value of many companies is much higher than that of Boeing, Lunji has a strong influence on the United States.
There are really not many companies that can compare to Boeing in terms of influence.
After reading it, Li Guangyu said to Stim Cole: "Mr. Cole, I think I feel the strength of your Boeing. It is a good choice for my special plane to be manufactured by your Boeing. We can return to your headquarters first.
Then let’s talk about the following things.”
When Stim Cole heard that Li Guangyu was willing to talk about the purchase, he immediately smiled and said: "Okay Mr. Li, we will return to the headquarters now. Don't worry, our price for you at Boeing will be very fair and make you feel good."
Excellent value for money.”
In Stim Cole's office, Li Guangyu and Boeing's designers described his requirements in detail, and even asked Gan Qin's opinion on some things. Boeing's designers based their suggestions on Li Guangyu and Gan Qin's
The requirements are constantly sketched on the drawings.
Seeing that at noon, the preliminary internal design was still not finalized, Stim Cole said: "Mr. Li, I think everyone can take a break. After lunch, we will continue to discuss."
Li Guangyu said: "Okay, Mr. Kuhl, thank you for your hard work. These are probably the questions. We will confirm some more in the afternoon and that's about it."
Rory Kuhl said: "Mr. Li, it is my job to serve you. It is not hard. We will continue in the afternoon until you are satisfied."
In the afternoon, Li Guangyu himself didn't give much advice. Regarding the decoration, Gan Qin asked a lot of questions, such as what colors should be used and how the positions of many layouts should be adjusted. Gan Qin was very careful.
I was discussing.
After all the issues were determined, price negotiations began. Li Guangyu was not good at this aspect, so he left all the power to Gan Qin.
Stim Cole said: "Mr. Li, you really hired an amazing assistant. You don't want us to make any profit at all."
Gan Qin said: "Mr. Cole, you have to consider the influence of our Li Sheng in Asia. This is advertising for your Boeing. Think about the huge market in Asia. We have not confiscated your advertising fees. You can't
That's too much, I think Gulfstream and Bombardier welcomed Li Sheng to buy from them."
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Cole, you know that I have many groups, and I will definitely equip each group with special planes in the future. If this cooperation is pleasant, our group will cooperate with you in this aspect of business in the future. I may also enter the airline industry in the future."
Intend."
Stim Cole was just complaining. He wanted Li Guangyu to remember Boeing's favor. He didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. Li Guangyu has such a group, which requires at least about ten aircraft.
If the Lee Group establishes an airline, it will definitely not be a small business, at least it will be dozens of aircraft. This is a big order.
Stim Cole said: "Mr. Li, we will only charge you the cost price of US$45 million this time. This is definitely our cost price."
Li Guangyu also knew that at this price, Boeing would be very good without losing money. Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Cole, thank you, and the deposit will be credited to your company account later."
