With the FBI, the CIA, and the military, Ryan had an open-minded discussion all afternoon.

Early the next morning, he couldn't wait to go to Georgia.

Georgia is rich in metal mineral reserves and has a large number of resource-intensive manufacturing industries such as automobiles, ships, and aircraft.

In addition, there is the world famous Coca-Cola Company.

However, Ryan and his party naturally did not go to Coca-Cola, but another well-known company, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation.

It is a world-renowned manufacturer of luxury and large business jets, and was just acquired by General Electric in 1999.

When Ryan and his party came to the gate of Gulfstream, they could see a group of people coming up from a distance.

Among them was a middle-aged white man who greeted them warmly, "Hello, Mr. Gosling."

"I'm Alan-Smith, Director of Product Division, Gulfstream Corporation."

Ryan nodded, as a greeting, and a group of people walked into the gate of Gulfstream.

Walking all the way to the apron, Allen-Smith pointed to a plane and said, "It is the large business jet mentioned on the phone."

Ryan followed the direction of his fingers and saw a large business jet, which seemed to be more than 30 meters long, and the shape of the fuselage was very beautiful.

"Can you introduce me!" Ryan asked curiously.

Regardless of his past and present lives, he didn't know much about airplanes.

"sure."

Allen-Smith introduced it himself, "It is currently one of the largest business jets in the world. The preliminary design began in 1983, and the production of four prototypes began two years later. In 1987, it obtained the type certificate from the FAA."

"The business jet in front of me has an increased range of about 40% on the basis of the Gulfstream III, with a range of 7,820 kilometers."

After listening for a while, Ryan frowned slightly, the range was only 7820 kilometers!

"It seems that it can't fly directly across the Pacific Ocean!" He asked again.

Straight across the Pacific Ocean!

Allen-Smith smiled awkwardly, "You can refuel once in the middle."

Ryan shook his head, a little unsatisfied with the flight.

Seeing the dissatisfaction on Ryan's face, Allen-Smith changed his voice and said, "However, we still have an improved model, which first flew in June 1992, using the latest electronic flight instruments, commercial load and range. About 50 percent larger than the standard Gulfstream IV, it can carry four crew members and 14 passengers."

"Is there one with a longer range?" Ryan is still not satisfied with the range of the improved model.

Compared with the luxury business jet transformed from an Airbus A380 in the previous life, it is several grades worse.

"The Gulfstream V has a maximum effective range of 12,000 kilometers, which basically meets the requirements for flying across the Pacific Ocean, and there is no need to refuel midway." Allen-Smith reminded.

Ryan seems to remember that in his previous life, a certain Dong took a Gulfstream business jet to and from the United States and the other side of the Pacific Ocean, so he couldn't help asking: "Is there an improved model, is there any ready-made aircraft!"

The impact of the September 11 incident not only caused Hollywood to mourn, but also business jet manufacturers also faced difficulties.

Even, the stock prices of Airbus and Boeing dived together.

In less than a month, Gulfstream alone faced a large number of cancellation applications.

It is estimated that in the next few years, the aircraft manufacturing industry will face underestimation.

Allen-Smith's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the hangar not far away and said, "There happens to be an improved model here, and it will be delivered in about a month or so."

"Go and have a look." Ryan walked over and looked around the Gulfstream V business jet.

During the period, Allen-Smith introduced in great detail, from the production place of the screws to the structural principle of the engine and so on.

Ryan couldn't help smiling when he saw it. It seems that Gulfstream's situation is not very good.

Not long after, two very beautiful female staff members opened the cabin door and lowered the folding stairs.

"Mr. Gosling, you can go in and have a look."

"The interior decoration of this aircraft has been basically completed." Allen-Smith said cautiously.

He was afraid of causing Ryan's dissatisfaction.

Generally, most of the customers who buy business jets are decorated and modified according to their own requirements.

The same is true for the Gulfstream V-type business jet in front of us.

However, the last customer almost went bankrupt because of the 911 incident, so he could only return the order, not even the deposit.

It is difficult to resell such a business jet.

Ryan's first impression was that the cabin of this business jet was very brightly decorated.

Simple design, yet elegant.

The whole creates an upscale atmosphere.

The wide seats on both sides are placed facing each other, and the aisle can accommodate one person to pass through. The interior of the cabin is more than ten meters long, with eight seats, two tables, and a sofa.

Ryan sat down and tried it out, and it felt pretty good.

A beautiful blond female staff member came over to show Ryan the various functions.

"The chair can be rotated. Except for take-off and landing, the direction of the seat can be adjusted at other times. There is also a bathroom and a small lounge over there, which is enough for two people to rest together."

"What about the price!" Ryan's eyes fell on Allen-Smith, he was more concerned about the price.

"US$43 million." Allen-Smith quickly introduced, "The normal price of the Gulfstream V-type business jet is US$38 million."

"However, this one has been specially modified. It not only slightly increases the range, but also has these decorations in front of us."

"US$38 million." Ryan touched the leather on the seat and said, "If you agree, then we can sign the contract now, and the full amount will be transferred to the Gulfstream account before next Monday."

"If you refuse?"

Ryan shrugged and continued: "Compared with this business jet, I prefer the Airbus A320 and transform it into a luxury business jet."

Transform an Airbus A320 into a luxury business jet!

At least hundreds of millions of dollars are needed.

Of course, hundreds of millions of dollars is not a big problem for Ryan.

Allen-Smith showed a look of disbelief, and then he took a deep breath, "Mr. Gosling, please wait a moment."

"No problem." Ryan made a gesture of invitation.

At the moment Allen-Smith led the people to leave the cabin in a hurry.

After turning around in the cockpit, Daniel Green came over and praised, "It's a great business jet."

"Compared to Airbus and Boeing, Gulfstream business jets are more secure in terms of safety."

Regardless of Airbus or Boeing, the aircraft manufactured by both are mass-produced, and many aspects need to be considered, such as flight costs, prices, and so on.

Gulfstream specializes in manufacturing business jets, and its first consideration is safety and comfort.

Flight costs and aircraft prices are secondary.

"However, I don't think Gulfstream may agree to the price of 38 million US dollars." Daniel Green said, pointing to the decoration inside the cabin: "The prices of these solid wood and leather materials are not cheap."

Sofia Coppola, who was silent all the time, gave Ryan a weird look, "This is what you call bargain hunting!"

Not only on the business jet, Orion Films is negotiating with several Los Angeles real estate agents, planning to buy a large office building at a very low price.

In addition, Ryan also intends to buy several mansions~www.novelbuddy.com~ You can understand it this way. Ryan glanced at her and said, "I like the feeling of bargain hunting." "

"Plus, that's the impact of 9/11."

After a while, Allen-Smith came back, "Mr. Gosling, the price of 41 million US dollars is the limit we can accept."

In fact, at the price of 43 million US dollars, Gulfstream has already discounted a lot.

Before Ryan could speak, the phone rang suddenly.

Ryan told Aaron Smith to wait a moment, got on the phone, and Nancy Utley's voice came, "Sorry, I think you need to come back immediately, Washington has officially declared war on Afghanistan and started military operations. hit."

"I'll go back right away." Ryan hung up the call, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Washington has officially declared war on Afghanistan, and I need to go back to Los Angeles immediately."

After finishing speaking, ignoring Allen-Smith's uncertain face, Ryan led Daniel Green, Sofia Coppola and others outside.

The impact of the war is not much less than the impact of the 9/11 incident.

Even, from a long-term perspective, the impact of the war in Afghanistan far exceeds that of the 9/11 incident.

"Mr. Gosling, just a moment."

When he walked to Gulfstream, Allen-Smith was sweating profusely and ran over panting, "38 million dollars..."

Next, Ryan left an accompanying assistant secretary to handle the transaction with Gulfstream, and the group drove quickly towards the airport in a car.
