"What? You said this one costs more than 10 million US dollars? This is a second-hand one!" Feng Yu's voice was a little high. Why are second-hand ones so expensive
Besides, this should be regarded as the old model Tu 204. Why is it so expensive? It wasn't that expensive to buy a new IL-76 back then.
"Feng, after all, this has only been in service for seven years, and this design is meant to be used for twenty years. You can still use it for at least thirteen years, or even longer. And the ones I choose for you must be without any faults. At this price It’s already the lowest price.”
It is not a boast that aircraft in the former Soviet Union can exceed their service life. Many of their aircraft have exceeded their service life by 50%. This is the best proof.
"The price of this aircraft was not low at the beginning, but now the new model is priced higher, and it is not in stock yet." At this price, Kirilenko didn't make a penny, and even had to pay for it.
"How about I get you the freight diagram 204 from ten years ago. The price can be cheaper and the quality is guaranteed to be good. You don't use it for freight anyway."
Feng Yu patted his head, yes, why do you have to buy a passenger aircraft and modify it? The earliest version of the Tu-204 was a cargo aircraft, and then it was launched for passenger use. Freight also has manual loading and unloading systems, or even automatic loading and unloading systems.
And Feng Yu discovered that this model seemed to be much larger than the model Li Shiqiang planned. Fengyu Logistics originally planned to buy a modified regional aircraft.
Although this is more cost-effective, it seems to be a lot larger than planned.
"Brother, are there any smaller regional aircraft that have an economical flight distance of less than 2,000 kilometers and a load capacity of less than ten tons?"
"Feng, do you want something as small as that? If it's that small, there won't be so many restrictions." Kirilenko seemed relieved.
"Restrictions? What restrictions?" Feng Yu asked curiously.
"Feng, you also know that at the beginning of the year, China announced that it had successfully independently developed a large aircraft with a range of more than 5,000 kilometers, which is no worse than our Tu-204, and is even better than ours in many aspects."
"That's not a large aircraft, right? Even if it's a large aircraft, it's still the smallest one." Feng Yu said modestly.
"Feng, I don't need to say more about where this aircraft came from, right? So it's more difficult for you to purchase the large-scale Tu series and IL series. Originally, I wanted to help you purchase the IL-96, which has better technology. , and the loading capacity is larger, but unfortunately it is not allowed to be sold to China for the time being."
"It is said that the reason is that China has the ability to dismantle aircraft, crack our protection settings, and obtain our core technology. They are afraid that you will also crack this aircraft technology and become the fourth country in the world that can truly build large passenger aircraft. .”
Brother Ji's tone didn't sound good, and Feng Yu smiled: "Brother Ji, let's not talk about this anymore. Since there are restrictions, it won't be troublesome. If I can buy them, I will buy a few. If it is inconvenient, forget it. Small. Isn’t it unlimited? If you think it’s a good deal, recommend some to me.”
If you buy a Tu-204 that has only been used for seven years for 10 million, I believe it will be no problem to sell it to Air China.
But at this time, Feng Yu no longer needs to rely on this to make money, and Air China has not come to him. He will not take the initiative to ask others if they want it. It is still a favor from his brother.
Moreover, if this aircraft flies to the United States, it must make one stop because the navigation distance cannot be reached. It's nothing like the private jet Kirilenko gave to Feng Yu. Its fully loaded cruising distance can exceed 12,000 kilometers.
Of course, because of its size and consumption, it naturally costs more per flight.
More than half an hour later, Kirilenko called again: "Feng, as for regional aircraft, there are three models that are good and the price is relatively affordable."
"The IL-114 has a full load of six tons and can fly a thousand kilometers. It is an older model and has been used for about ten years. It can be bought for two million dollars."
"Figure 134, with a full load of eight tons, can fly 1,800 kilometers, and can be used for about ten years. It costs about three million US dollars."
"The Yak 42m has a full load of 13 tons and can fly 1,300 kilometers. It can be used for about fifteen years and costs about five million US dollars."
"There is also a Tu-334 that is 80% new, with a full load of ten tons, and can fly more than 3,000 kilometers. This one is more expensive, costing more than 10 million US dollars, and there is only one, so it is better to order a new one with more money."
So except for the last one, all the others can be chosen and are relatively cost-effective. Let my brother-in-law and Lao Hou consider the specific choice.
"Brother Ji, how many of the first three models can I buy?" Feng Yu asked in detail.
"I can get you at least three or five of each type. Any more will be a bit troublesome."
"Okay, then I'll ask my brother-in-law and I'll call you back later."
Feng Yu called Li Shiqiang and asked him to discuss it with Hou Haitao quickly. In fact, Feng Yu thinks that these are relatively cost-effective. If you have sufficient funds, then buy one or two more.
Although it is a little more than planned, logistics orders will definitely increase in the next two years, and it may not be so cheap by then.
As for the rest, Feng Yu also plans to keep it for his company. Of course, Hou Haitao first needs to tell him that the procedure is not difficult and he can find an aircraft factory that can help him modify it.
I don’t know if the Ice Flying Factory has only made helicopters and small aircraft in recent years, so the technology is still good.
After a while, my brother-in-law called: "Xiaoyu, I asked Lao Hou to tell you."
"Mr. Feng, we discussed it and compared the Tu-134 and the Yak 42m. If possible, we plan to have five Tu-134s and three Yak 42m. We won't be able to use more. Even if we want to expand the aircraft fleet in the future, we will We also plan to purchase products that have been eliminated by domestic airlines, such as Boeing 737 and so on.”
The Boeing 737 is about the same as the Yak 42m, maybe a little better, maybe a little worse. But as Hou Haitao said, if there are too many, they will not be used for the time being, which is a waste.
"Wait a minute, Xiaoyu, can that IL-114 fly from Bingcheng to Xiangjiang?" Li Shiqiang asked after taking the phone.
"Yes, but it can't carry too many people. If there are too many people, it will have to stop in the middle."
"Then I want one of these. Your aunt is actually envious of your private jet. It's too new now and I can't afford it, so I'll buy a second-hand one and modify it first."
Yes, my brother-in-law’s family was infected by him, and now he wants to buy a private jet. Although it is second-hand, it is definitely not bad after modification. Just like an old house newly renovated, it will be very comfortable to live in.
"Brother, I want five of them, Il 114, Tu 134, and Jacques 42m. You can pay as much as you want. Don't try to add money to them."
"Hahaha, not all of them are from Russia, but also from other countries. Five of each kind, right? Within three months, we guarantee that they will all be parked at the airport in your ice city!"
