bf??}????z?}?+uAaN0bU021?x?:???&7??n???R?a???plane, old Jones really has one. r
As a wealthy old man with nothing to do, he has built his own business empire and now has left the main tasks to his sons and the group's board of directors. Private jets are such a pretentious way to show off your wealth, and they are a must-have item for home travel. r
It is a G650 business jet designed and produced by Gulfstream Aerospace Company. It uses twin jet engines, has a wing length of 28 meters, and a fuselage length of 20 meters. It is one of the business jets. The big guy in. r
But when he heard this model, Li Fanyu curled his lips and said, "It's too small."r
After receiving this comment, Old Jones choked with phlegm in his throat and choked himself. r
This is still young! ? r
That’s the biggest business jet, right? r
"Ahem, my friend, what kind of airplane do you want?"r
Li Fanyu tilted his head, "The kind that weighs twenty-seven, eight, and thirty tons,"r
This value is not something he just made up. It is the limit value calculated from the F150's power, load-carrying capacity and towing capacity. r
Li Fanyu didn't know much about airplanes, but in his expectation, it was absolutely impossible for a small airplane like the Gulfstream to have such self-respect. r
In fact, this is exactly the case. Due to the use of aviation materials, the empty weight of the Gulfstream is only a little more than 17 tons. Even with full fuel and crew and passengers, it is more than 20 tons. . r
"About thirty tons? Um..." Richard Hammond, one of the three cheap passengers, has passed the airplane pilot's license and has a certain understanding of airplanes. r
When I heard this number, I thought of an aircraft model, "Well, the weight of the Boeing 727 seems to be this."r
Boeing 727? r
When Li Fanyu heard that it was a Boeing passenger plane, he immediately thought of the 747, which is commonly used by domestic airlines. According to the obvious characteristics of Boeing's aircraft, the 727 should be two sizes smaller than the 747. r
Thinking of this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for the data of this model. r
After seeing the data that the wings were 33 meters long, the fuselage was 47 meters long, and the empty weight was 31 tons, Li Fanyu slapped his thigh and said, "That's it!"r
……r
With the popularity of "Topgear" in the vehicle section of Youtube, another car program "Car Life" felt a deep sense of crisis. r
Unlike "Topgear", which has established a "copyright operation" profit method since its inception, the important source of revenue for this type of car review program is advertising sponsorship. r
However, due to the popularity of the first episode of "Topgear" (hereinafter referred to as TG) after the broadcast, the sponsors who had already decided on this show are now hesitant and are preparing to switch to "TG". r
This made the program team very anxious. r
This sponsor is Kaman Company. r
So in order to win back this big benefactor, "Car Life" planned to do an exclusive interview about Kaman Company, and use an entire episode to promote all Kaman models. r
Kaman Company has actually contacted the program team of "TG" and expressed its willingness to sponsor the program. However, during the planning of the program, Li Fanyu had already informed Stewart and Clarkson that the name of the main sponsor would be reserved for his own use. So to Kaman's surprise, the show team rejected their request for exclusive naming rights for the first season for $5 million. r
After being rejected, Kaman Company received an invitation from "Car Life" to stay, so they agreed. r
Although "TG" usurped the throne of the segment leader, the program "Car Life" was also successful in the past. r
So after careful preparation and careful operation, the program team produced an exclusive promotional special for Carman. At this time, when the column statistics released the sales ranking of models in the North American market, Kaman once again became the sales champion with its two AB pickup series models. r
As a result, "Car Life" directly used the entire program to make a comprehensive publicity for Kaman and its models. As the executive director of Kaman Company, Phelps also came to the show on behalf of the company and participated in the interactive session with the host. r
After introducing Kaman's achievements in recent years and its models covering the United States and becoming the king of pickup truck sales, the host asked Phelps a question. r
"Oh Phil, Kaman has been the sales champion in the pickup truck market for five consecutive years. Have you ever thought about why you can be so good?"r
Faced with this question, Phelps tapped the host with his finger, "Good question!"r
"We have discussed this issue before, and in summary there are only three points; first, we have the best marketing department, which can keenly grasp what consumers really need. Second, we have the best R&D department, These needs can be presented to consumers through technical means. Third, we have the best production department to ensure that every car is in the most perfect condition when it is delivered to consumers."r
The host applauded gently, but with a helpless look on his face, "Please Phil, this is a variety show, not a congressional report. Don't be so rigid,"r
After hearing this, Phelps laughed and said: "OKOK, if you have to ask me to say something exciting, and you have to use a reason to explain why Kaman is so awesome, then maybe... thank God, because we don't have Opponent."r
The host's eyes lit up, "Aha! Why do you say that? You see, Japanese pickup models are also selling well in North America. For example, Toyota's Tacoma, Nissan's Titan, Honda's Zero Line, and The Colorado with Chevrolet also sells well, how can it be said that it has no rivals?”r
Phelps looked confident, "Hey, don't forget. The sales of these models you mentioned are all under pressure by Kaman in the rankings. The defeated ones are not our opponents." r
"Haha, OK, but the automobile industry is always changing. What you said about having no rivals is not accurate. According to me, in the past few years of your company's development, it has faced the rise of many rivals. Take now For example, a certain Chinese company’s models for North America will be offline soon. Do you have a sense of crisis or any special response policies? ”r
Phelps made an exaggerated expression of surprise, "Are you talking about Zhengxin? Oh! Joe, look at these data, our company has twelve production lines, Zhengxin only has one in the United States. Our market value It’s 2.5 trillion US dollars. Zhengxin is not even a listed company. Our headquarters building has more than 60 floors, and when I last visited Zhengxin to discuss acquisitions with them, their chairman still lived in less than 70 square meters. In my office. You want me to call such a car company a rival?"r
In fact, there is one sentence that Phelps did not say, that is, "Do you think a Chinese company can compete with us?" He wanted to say it, but considering the company's image, he didn't say it. r
......r
When I saw this program, it was Clarkson who forwarded it to Li Fanyu’s mobile phone. r
Looking at the contempt on Phelps's face during the show, Li Fanyu sneered. r
No opponent? r
I can’t bear this kind of loneliness and seeking defeat,
