After learning about the existence of supersonic private jets, it was really unacceptable for him to wait for another year!
Since "Kit" said that the prototype construction of this supersonic private jet has begun, it means that the research and development has been completed. Can he order it now?
With the experience of the Lord car and the holographic smartphone, especially the fact that he was perfectly rescued by "Kit" this time, Old Holmes can be said to have reached unconditional trust in SHIELD Industry!
Even "Kit", the intelligent and self-driving Knight Rider who only exists on TV, was created by Aegis Industries to build a supersonic private jet more powerful than the Concorde decades ago in Old Harsen.
It seems there is no difficulty at all!
"Kit, can you order this supersonic private jet now?"
Old Halson asked impatiently.
"Kit" responded quickly.
"Aegis Industries has not released any news yet, but I can ask Aegis Industries through the user feedback system and wait for the other party's reply."
Old Halson nodded when he heard this.
"Okay! You can ask now. If possible, I will be the first to order one!"
"Okay, sir, the problem has been reported."
The questions that Old Halson raised through the user feedback system of the premium version of the holographic smartphone were quickly submitted to Chen Mo.
"How is the aircraft construction going?"
Chen Mo asked Anna in front of him while flipping through the supersonic private jet ordering questions that had already been asked by several premium holographic smartphone users.
Anna, who is in charge of Aegis Aerospace Corporation, answered immediately.
"The first prototype of the supersonic private jet has been basically assembled and is about to enter the final debugging stage. It is expected to be put into use within a week at most."
Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask.
"If I open a reservation, how long will it take for delivery?"
Anna was previously in charge of Aegis Machinery, and participated in the construction of the second production line of Aegis Automobile. She has accumulated a lot of experience in the production management of large equipment, so she quickly made accurate answers to the questions raised by Chen Mo.
answer.
"The production of the first prototype was delayed for some time due to the production of many parts and equipment, and the assembly personnel were not skilled, so it took a little longer. If it is officially produced, as long as the order does not exceed three in the same period, the delivery time can be controlled within one month.
Within!”
“What about cost?”
Chen Mo had only handed over the design drawings and information of the supersonic aircraft before, without asking too much, so he was really not sure about the cost of this supersonic private aircraft. Since he planned to launch it on the market and set the price, he must consider it.
cost issue.
Anna didn't look at the tablet in her hand. She was already familiar with these numbers and answered immediately.
“Almost all core components, raw materials and equipment used in supersonic private jets, such as jet engines and special aviation alloys, are all produced by Aegis Machinery in-house, which reduces the cost a lot. However, expensive special alloys still increase the cost a lot.
, the total cost of an aircraft is about 50 million, of which special alloys account for more than 30 million!"
When Chen Mo heard this, he understood clearly. Like the H-2 alloy of Aegis Motor, the new aviation special alloy used in supersonic private jets is also the Hydra technology developed by Chen Mo, and only Chen Mo knows the real formula.
Many precious metal materials ended up in Chen Mo's space and became the raw material reserves of Adamant alloy and Alpha alloy. The real cost of these powerful aviation special alloys is actually less than one-tenth, that is to say,
The special alloy used in a supersonic private jet costs less than 3 million, and the total cost is only about 20 million.
Of course, only Chen Mo himself knows this fact!
“Do you have any suggestions on pricing?”
"The profit margin of an aircraft is generally about 10%. If we calculate it based on the cost of 50 million, it would be more appropriate to price it at 55 million to 60 million!"
Chen Mo smiled and said nothing when he heard this. When Anna saw this, she thought of the boss's pricing and sales strategy for the Aegis car, reacted immediately, and continued to add.
"However, these 50 million miles do not include the profits of Aegis Machinery Company."
"We can increase the cost of equipment procurement and parts processing by 20 million, and increase the selling price to 80 million, and Aegis Machinery can offset this part of the profit through equipment depreciation without additional tax! However, accordingly, the order quantity
It will definitely be reduced a lot.”
Chen Mo still didn't express anything. Anna gritted her teeth and continued.
"We can increase our profit margins while avoiding taxes by expanding our scale and purchasing equipment from Shenshi Machinery!"
Chen Mo was actually very satisfied with Anna. As expected of a lawyer, she even raised the price and helped him avoid taxes. However, Chen Mo did not accept these suggestions from her.
"No need to go to such trouble, the price of this supersonic private jet is set at US$150 million, and all the revenue will be invested in the next step of building the spacecraft!"
Compared to the high price of 150 million that Chen Mo mentioned, Anna was even more shocked by the "spaceship" mentioned by Chen Mo!
Private jets costing US$1.5 billion are not uncommon, but most of them are large jets, and their supersonic private jets are actually medium-sized business jets.
The price of medium-sized business jets is mostly around US$20 million to US$40 million, and few of them exceed US$100 million. However, theirs is a supersonic medium-sized aircraft with a top speed of Mach 2.5, so the price of US$150 million is not.
How unacceptable it is, but sales will inevitably drop a lot, but their boss never seems to worry about this. No matter what Chen Mo says, Anna only needs to do it.
But a spaceship?
Although the name of their branch is Aegis Aerospace, Anna always thought that it was like other aircraft manufacturing companies named aerospace companies, just to look more powerful, and that the spaceships were just a joke.
But now Chen Mo actually told her that the next step would be to start building a spaceship?
Their supersonic private jet has not yet been completed on the production line, and its future sales are completely uncertain. Chen Mo is actually starting to plan to build a spaceship now!
Trying hard to control her emotions, Anna comforted herself.
"The boss must have proposed building a spaceship to avoid taxes and use all the profits in the research and development of the spaceship!"
Just when Anna finally convinced herself and looked up at Chen Mo again, Chen Mo's words directly rejected her idea!
