The more I think about Lin Zheng, the more I feel that his idea is good. I only need to take off and land between the east and west coasts. I just think it is done to get down and pee. But the time to go back and forth to the east and west coasts is very small, only a few times a year. Compared to fixed-wing aircraft that must have an airport to take off and land, helicopters are much more convenient. It is enough to have a flat site. There is no flat site. If you are more courageous, you can tie a rope around your waist and slide down. It can completely realize point-to-point takeoff and landing. The utilization rate is much higher than that of fixed-wing aircraft. Even if you really need to go back and forth to the east and west coasts, you can rent a business jet temporarily if you think it is troublesome to be a civil aviation aircraft.

Benier has no objection. Since the boss thinks helicopters are better, helicopters are better. The price of this Bell 206 helicopter is hundreds of thousands of dollars cheaper than the Gulfstream II-SP. This money can do a lot of things. Compared with fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters have a greater effect on the company.

Lin Zheng and Benier had no objection, but Ernst's opinion became big. He absolutely could not accept that the fixed-wing aircraft had become a helicopter again. Compared with helicopters, the profits of fixed-wing aircraft were much richer. He hurriedly said to Lin Zheng, "Sir, helicopters have the benefits of helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft also have the benefits of fixed-wing aircraft. Compared with helicopters, the internal space of fixed-wing aircraft is much larger... There is even a bed on the Gulfstream II, a real big bed that allows you to rest well on the plane. You can sleep beautifully on the plane, get down in high spirits and handle your work calmly. This is something that the helicopter can't do. I suggest you still compare with this Bell 206 after watching the Gulfstream II."

Compare and decide? This is a good suggestion. Lin Zheng decided to follow the rules.

But this "going good is like a stream". Lin Zheng fell into the Gulf Stream II-SP and couldn't pull it out: the height of more than 1.9 meters allows him to walk inside with his chest raised and his head raised. The length of more than 7 meters can calmly arrange all kinds of things he wants. The space inside is as spacious as a room, with two sofas inside. Just press a button. The sofa has become flat and a comfortable large bed that is 2 meters long and 1.2 meters wide.

Spaciousness and comfort are of course the most important technical indicators of a business jet. Since it is a business jet, who doesn’t want to be comfortable? Compared with this aircraft, if the Bill 206 just now is a flying Mercedes-Benz sedan, then this Gulfstream II-SP is a flying palace.

There is a partition in the middle and rear of the cabin, inside which is a multi-purpose room that can be converted between the bedroom and the conference room at any time. Mr. Williams is definitely the one who knows how to enjoy and considerate his subordinates the most. All seats have retractable leg support. After placing the seat flat and stretching the legs out, the luxurious leather seats immediately become a comfortable small bed.

What is even more rare is that the former owner of this Gulfstream II-SP, Mr. Williams, did not make his car full of rusty gold like those American rich people. This guy is obviously a solid wood enthusiast. Wherever he sees, most of the decorations are made of solid wood of various colors. It is much more comfortable than the decoration style of a rich man who looks like various gold decorations at first glance.

After experiencing the domineering cabin space, Lin Zheng immediately decided to let the Bell 206 go... or wait for when the company needs to develop and when he has money to buy another Bell 206.

Ernst, who had been paying close attention to Lin Zheng's expression, breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Lin Zheng at the right time: "Mr. Lin, if your aircraft utilization rate is not high, I recommend you to place the aircraft in offline time to provide rental services to the outside world. The business jet charter business is now very prosperous. Large business jets like yours are very popular. As long as the flight time reaches 300 hours a year, the money you earn can not only allow you to pay bank loans and employee commissions, but also make you a little profitable."

"Flying 300 flight hours a year?" Lin Zheng frowned, "I'm afraid this number is difficult to reach, right?"

Ernst smiled, "Mr. Lin, in the United States, there are many private jets, but there are very few business jets with a range of more than 5,000 kilometers. Very, very few. As far as I know, almost all large business jets that provide rental services can reach more than 400 flight hours per year, which can earn you more than 1 million US dollars a year."

"5,000 kilometers?" Lin Zheng frowned immediately, turned his head to look at Beniel, and then turned his head to look at Ernst. "Is that true? But why did Mr. Beniel tell me that the maximum range you told him is 3,700 kilometers?"

How could there be a 1,500-kilometer range? This is not just unreasonable, it is simply unreasonable. If the International Jet Company cannot give it a satisfactory explanation, it needs to carefully consider whether to buy the plane from this company.

Not only was Lin Zheng dissatisfied, but Benier also stared at Ernst with an unhappy look: The 3700-kilometer range is what you told me, and now you told me that this plane has a 5200-kilometer range? If the boss thinks that I can't even handle this little thing, he kicked me out of the company. Do you compensate me for such a generous job?

At the same time, Ernst was shocked by two people staring at him with an unhappy look on his face. He hurriedly said, "Sir, I'm sorry, this is what we said. 5,200 kilometers is a flight that carries four passengers, and no one carries a luggage of less than 20 kilograms. If there is only one passenger and the corresponding luggage, the maximum range can reach about 5,400 kilometers, and 3,700 kilometers is a full range... This aircraft has a commercial capacity of up to 2.5 tons, so the difference between full-load range and light-load range is quite large."

So that's the case, Lin Zheng nodded and signaled Ernst to continue.

The big business is coming, Ernst is very energetic: "Your plane used the MK511-2 engine before. Mr. Williams has replaced the relatively mature MK511-5 model. If you change to the latest MK611-6 engine and winglet wings, you can take off from the West Coast of the United States and fly across the Atlantic Ocean, please believe me. I guarantee you with the professional ethics of a professional practitioner that your plane must be the most popular in the business jet rental market. I conservatively believe that it is possible to fly 500 hours a year."

"What is the difference between MK511 and MK611? " Lin Zheng asked. He was not sure what the difference between these two engines is, but there is no doubt that according to the general rules of product naming, only the numbers of early models will be relatively low. The later ones will not only be more advanced in technology, but also the combustion efficiency should be higher. As for the addition of winglets to increase flight distance, Lin Zheng really knows this.

"It is mainly reflected in thrust and combustion efficiency. The maximum thrust of MK511-5 is 5,200 pounds, the maximum thrust of MK611 is 6,925 pounds, and the maximum thrust of the two aircraft is 3,850 pounds. In addition, the fuel utilization rate of MK611-8 is 25% higher."

Well, it's clear that MK611-6 wins all over the MK511-8. If the modification cost is not high, Lin Zheng doesn't mind modifying his plane. This modification can even ensure that he can sell the plane at a good price in the future. "This means that if the engine is replaced, my plane can have a larger range, right? Please calculate the maximum range... Are you sure this plane can be replaced with the MK611 engine?"

"Of course, sir, I promise you that your Gulfstream II can definitely use the latest MK611-6 engine. We have replaced the new engines for two Gulfstream II and one Gulfstream III," Beniel patted his chest and promised Lin Zheng confidently, "The Gulfstream II-SP's maximum light load range can reach 7,200 kilometers after replacing the winglet. If you want to fly across the Pacific, you need to stop in Hawaii and refuel. If you modify it here, we can sell your two MK511-5 engines for a good price."

Can you take off from the west coast of the United States and cross the entire United States and then cross the Atlantic Ocean? Lin Zheng admitted that this flight distance is indeed quite tempting. He nodded, "Good, please help me calculate the total modification price. If the price satisfies me, I will consider it."

"Mr. Lin, do you use a second-hand engine or a brand new engine? If it is a second-hand one, we guarantee that the engine will be delivered within a week. If it is a new engine, we need to place an order from the manufacturer, and it will take about half a year to wait. We have a pair of stock here in Wingstops."

Half a year? This time is a bit too long. No one dares not to maintain the second-hand aircraft engine or aircraft, right? As long as the engine is maintained on time, there should be no problem. After making up his mind, Lin Zheng asked, "How is the use of those two second-hand engines?"
