Half past three in the afternoon.
COMAC Final Assembly and Manufacturing Center in the Magic City Free Trade Pilot Zone.
Tang Songyuan drove a Bentley Flying Spur with Li Qingying and Meng Jingwen into the gate of COMAC.
After passing the necessary security inspection, he successfully entered the interior of COMAC.
As soon as the car stopped, Tang Songyuan saw Lu Qiming leading a tall man in his fifties over.
When Tang Songyuan got off the car, Lu Qiming also had a smile on his face and said:
"I just called you and you came running over in a hurry."
Tang Songyuan responded with a smile, called "Director Lu", then looked at the tall man wearing a safety helmet next to him, and asked: "This is..."
Lu Qiming smiled and introduced: "This is Chen Tonghe, chief engineer of COMAC,"
"Gong Chen, this is Tang Songyuan who I told you is ready to order a C929 private jet with you."
A look of surprise flashed in Chen Tonghe's eyes. He didn't expect Tang Songyuan to be so young.
You must know that private jets are not cheap. The lowest price of commercial large aircraft, especially the C series, exceeds 550 million yuan.
He stretched out his hand, shook hands with Tang Songyuan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you! I've heard Director Lu mention you a long time ago, and when I see you today, you are indeed young and promising."
Tang Songyuan responded humbly: "Thank you for the award, Mr. Chen. I have always heard of COMAC's name..."
Business blowback as always.
At this time, Li Qingying and Meng Jingwen also got out of the car, looking at everything around them curiously.
After another brief introduction, Lu Qiming invited with a smile: "Then let's officially start the visit. Today, I will ask Mr. Chen to be our guide."
Chen Tonghe laughed and said, "No problem, Mr. Tang, Miss Li, Miss Meng, please come over here!"
As the group walked and chatted, Lu Qiming introduced the history, current situation and future plans of COMAC to Tang, Song and Yuan.
Chen Tonghe focused on explaining the technical features and advantages of the C929 large aircraft.
He said: "Our C929 adopts more advanced design concepts and materials based on the original C919,"
"Safety, comfort, environmental protection and efficiency are ensured, the number of seats has been increased from 280 to 350, and the range will reach 12,000 kilometers,"
"We are very confident that this aircraft will become a leader in the future aviation market."
He first took them to the aircraft production line,
The huge factory building is spacious and bright, and various advanced machinery and equipment are in operation.
Engineers and workers are working nervously and orderly.
The aircraft parts being assembled are arranged neatly, like giant handicrafts.
Li Qingying looked at these and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the manufacturing process of aircraft is so complicated, it is really eye-opening."
Chen Tonghe introduced with a slightly proud look: "These are all C919s being assembled. As of now, the number of C919 orders has reached 1,088,"
"Five aircraft have been successfully delivered..."
Then, he pointed to the busy workers in the distance and said: "Every detail is crucial. Our workers are strictly trained and selected to ensure excellence in every step."
Tang, Song and Yuan were dazzled by what they saw, and were very shocked by the scale and technical level of COMAC.
Especially Meng Jingwen, she was in a very excited mood. Not everyone had the chance to come to this kind of place.
If she hadn't been impulsive and went directly from Jiangcheng to the Demon City to join the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, she wouldn't have had the chance to increase her knowledge.
During the visit, Tang Songyuan also raised some customization requirements for the C929 private large aircraft.
For example, the appearance should be cool, and the interior design should be exquisite and comfortable. A large bed cabin, shower room, electric massage bathtub, etc. are essential.
Chen Tonghe gave detailed answers and professional suggestions one by one.
He said: "To be honest, Mr. Tang, this is the first time that our C-series aircraft has received customized content for private jets."
Tang Songyuan smiled slightly and said: "I believe in COMAC's professional capabilities and technical strength. I hope that through customization, the C929 can better meet our individual needs."
Chen Tonghe nodded in agreement: "Mr. Tang is right, we are also very optimistic about this market."
"In order to meet Mr. Tang's customized needs, we will definitely mobilize the best team to ensure that the delivered C929 private large aircraft exceeds your expectations."
"We will definitely provide Mr. Tang with the most perfect flying experience..."
Tang Songyuan smiled slightly and said: "Of course that is the best..."
Finally, in the conference room of COMAC, Tang Songyuan sat down with Lu Qiming and Chen Tonghe and began to discuss specific cooperation matters.
Chen Tonghe said: "Mr. Tang, based on the needs you provided, I made a rough calculation. Your customized C929 private jet will cost at least 700 million yuan,"
"Of course, the specific price still needs further calculation before we can figure it out..."
"Seven hundred million yuan!" Meng Jingwen on the side felt a little dizzy when she heard this number.
She raised her hands to cover her mouth with a look of disbelief.
But Tang Songyuan seemed quite calm. He smiled softly and said:
"The price is indeed not cheap, but I believe that the quality and service of COMAC will make me feel that the investment is worth it."
He looked at Chen Tonghe and Lu Qiming with firm eyes: "I hope we can finalize the details of cooperation as soon as possible, and I also look forward to owning our own C929 private jet as soon as possible."
Chen Tonghe shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Tang, please don't be anxious. As I said just now, the detailed price and details require further calculations."
"In addition, according to our order volume, it will take at least two years to complete the delivery of your customized C929 from design to offline..."
Two years?
Then there is no need to panic.
Tang, Song and Yuan started from scratch and now have almost tens of billions in cash, only more than half a year has passed.
Several of its major companies are still generating a steady stream of profits for him.
And with his ability, he will surely reach several levels in two years' time.
He smiled nonchalantly and said: "That doesn't matter. Let Mr. Chen prepare the contract and let me know, and I will prepare the deposit for you..."
As the sun set, in the eyes of Lu Qiming and Chen Tonghe saying goodbye, Tang Songyuan drove the Bentley Flying Spur and left the gate of COMAC.
In the back seat, Li Qingying pushed Meng Jingwen, who was still wandering next to her, and said, "Hey, wake up, Mr. Tang is going to take us to a big dinner..."
