Xia Yu said tactfully that because the fuel tank was expanded, the Sherlock's range was sufficient, but the two-bedroom and one-living room was still a bit crowded, and it might not be convenient for the whole family to go out.
The A380 does not have this problem. The total area of the two-story cabin is 550 square meters, which is larger than his single apartment in the Arc de Triomphe by the Riverside. A swimming pool is no longer a dream.
"Mr. Sherlock, are you planning to install a swimming pool on the plane?"
Marryat carefully inquired about Xia Yu's request.
Well, he can choose not to swim, but he cannot live without it.
The Pacific Ocean on Kana Island is his swimming pool. There are also swimming pools on the Invincible-class and Polaris. How can there be no swimming pool on the plane?
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No problem. We just need to modify the cargo hold and fill it with water before takeoff. Once we enter level flight, we'll use pressure equipment to fill the swimming pool with water, and you can enjoy swimming to your heart's content."
Marryat said they have experience in this area.
"Then add it. I like swimming very much."
How could Aquaman not like swimming? It's just like eating and drinking water for ordinary people.
"Yes. Also, you seem to have special requirements for the kitchen?"
Marryat asked as he flipped through the old records.
The Chinese are good at cooking, and the Chinese also have a special liking for the kitchen.
"Well, I'm more accustomed to eating Chinese food on the plane, because after getting off the plane I tend to eat more Western food, so I can give the kitchen more space."
Xia Yu explained his needs. He said that in the future, he would probably take Sherlock 2 for flights longer than 10 hours, and he might have to eat both meals on the plane. He absolutely could not compromise on this aspect.
Because the A380 has more space, Xia Yu set up 20 business class seats at the tail of the plane. The maids can sit and rest on weekdays, and he can also fly with his employees when he is busy, unlike the A319-CJ where he can only fly alone.
Xia Yu didn't want the karaoke or mahjong room, but instead set up a piano room next to the gym so that even if he was on a business trip it would not affect his practice.
After confirming these, we finally arrived at the highlight - the bedroom.
The Sherlock is said to have two rooms, a master bedroom and a second bedroom, but the experience of the second bedroom is only slightly better than the first class cabin of Tuhao Airlines.
How could this be possible? As a filial son who is devoted to his parents, Xia Yu would always give up the master bedroom for them to rest every time he flew with his parents. If the second bedroom could be 80% as comfortable as the master bedroom, he wouldn't have to give it up so often.
"If possible, I want four rooms: my own master bedroom, my parents' master bedroom, and two secondary bedrooms."
The master bedroom must be a suite, and the second bedroom can be simpler, with one public bathroom for the two rooms.
In short, there must be enough living space to fly in the sky.
"No problem, Mr. Sherlock. We understand your requirements. The initial budget for renovation and decoration should be around 120 million US dollars."
Marryat confirmed Xia Yu's general needs, and after some estimates with several colleagues, he came up with a rough quote.
If such a set were on earth, perhaps even 100 million RMB wouldn't be enough, but if it were in the sky, there would be too many things to consider, the first of which would be balance.
The two sides have different weights, so it will fly tilted. Business jets are not fighter jets and do not need very strong maneuverability.
Then all kinds of electrical appliances need to be specially customized, especially the kitchen that can cook Chinese food. How can it be called Chinese food without a high-fire stove? The Sherlock only has a gas stove, so it can only make some home-cooked stir-fries. This time it must be equipped with one.
The whole thing needs aviation-grade protection, otherwise it would be too unfair if the plane exploded. Xia Yu was equipped with the air overlord buff, which was embarrassing.
After discussing the price, the next step is to pay the deposit. There are multiple payment methods to choose from, with the lowest being several million US dollars, but the lower the deposit, the lower the priority.
Airbus is going to stop producing the A380, but there are still more than a dozen orders that have not been delivered, and there is a delivery order.
If Xia Yu pays the full amount, let alone tomorrow... well, it can't be delivered tomorrow, but his priority will definitely be raised to the highest, and maybe it can be delivered within the year.
"Then let's go with 50%!"
Paying the full amount doesn't suit my personality, and even if I'm rich I wouldn't be so extravagant. 50% is already very high. I'll find a place to spend some money, and I'll definitely reach Level 19 before returning home.
"Thank you for your generosity, which will greatly ease our cash flow pressure."
Leon expressed his gratitude to Xia Yu on behalf of Airbus. Nearly 300 million US dollars is not a small number. Airbus's annual gross profit is less than 10 billion.
After paying the money, Leon and his employees stood up and said goodbye. They had to rush back to come up with a preliminary plan. It could be a draft, and the details could be slowly implemented later, but the general direction must be there.
"Mr. Sherlock, we will come to bother you again later. Please forgive us."
The details still need to be communicated. It was so troublesome for Xia Yu to buy a Bugatti Centodieci, let alone the A380, the world's largest business jet.
"No, I should trouble you. I'll leave Sherlock No. 2 to you."
After sending the group to the door, Xia Yu felt a little tired, but when he thought of the new plane in the future, the fatigue disappeared immediately.
"Are you done?"
Yin Suya poked her head out of the bedroom. Knowing that someone came to visit Xia Yu, she stayed in the room and didn't come out. Just now, from the noise, it seemed that it was over.
"Well, we've just made a big deal, let's go have a nice dinner!"
Xia Yu raised his hand and looked at the time. It was half an hour before lunch time.
“Okay!”
She doesn’t care about big business, but when it comes to having a big meal, she jumps three feet high. After all, I am still a foodie.
