Maxim looked in the direction of Zhuang Jianye's finger and saw a strong but decent-looking Western woman climbing up the co-pilot's boarding ladder onto the helicopter. He couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise: "Really? "
"Look at what you said. When did I, Zhuang Jianye, deceive you?" Upon hearing this, Zhuang Jianye patted his chest twice and said what he said was categorical.
In the end, it was better not to say this. After saying this, Maxim's big, beautiful and deep eyes became even more confused. He turned his head and looked at Zhuang Jianye noncommittally, and said something that almost made everyone present go crazy: " Is it still less?¡±
Yes, Zhuang Jianye made a lot of money from Maxim.
Maxim has grown up rapidly since he experienced the disaster relief in Pakistan's Kashmir earthquake and has seen life and death. But even so, Maxim, a little family bird, is still too young in front of Zhuang Jianye, a thief from his hometown, and there are still a lot of things to be cheated. All kinds of pits.
Especially the air hospital composed of five Y-15s purchased by Maxim for US$700 million. Not only is the purchase cost high, but the later maintenance and operating costs are even higher. Even Maxim, a purebred UAE prince, is a little worried. Doubt life.
Aviation fuel must use secondary purified low-flash point aviation kerosene produced by a petrochemical plant in China, because this aviation kerosene has been specially treated and has a relatively low sulfur content. Therefore, the main core of the air hospital is 5 Y-15 medical personnel in the cabin. conditions to meet the standards.
The problem is that this kind of secondary purified low-flash point aviation kerosene is produced by only one company in the world, and it is extremely expensive. The average price per ton is at least three times higher than ordinary aviation kerosene.
In addition to aviation kerosene, the same applies to special lubricants, which need to be purchased from another petrochemical company in China.
If the fuel aspect can make people crazy, then the medical equipment inside the flying hospital can make anyone¡¯s outlook completely ruined.
"There is no way. The medical equipment inside is not only expensive, but almost ridiculously expensive. Can you imagine that the fixing screws of an ordinary surgical shadowless light cost 2,400 US dollars?
You must know that at this price, you can buy more than ten sets of surgical shadowless lamps. As for the fixing screws, you can buy almost a ton. However, when it comes to the flying hospital of Ascendas Group, you can only buy one for 2,400 US dollars, and it does not include labor costs. If you count In addition to professional maintenance fees, air tickets, food and accommodation, etc., Maxim would have to pay US$15,000 just to replace a screw.
Want to use something else instead?
It¡¯s not that Maxim hadn¡¯t thought about it, and Ascendas Group agreed, but before that, he said something ugly, that is, every component of the flying hospital is made by Ascendas Group in accordance with aeronautical engineering and structural mechanics. It is a product optimized in all aspects. Because of this, although Ascendas Group's accessories are expensive, they can match the technical standards of the Yun-15 Flying Hospital to the maximum extent and ensure normal operation.
It is not impossible to use other products, but the key is that it has not been optimized according to the actual situation of Yun-15. Whether it is reliable or not is not known. What if one day an important operation is being performed and the shadowless lamp on it suddenly falls off? Maxim, please don't come here, Ascendas Group will not be held responsible.
If it were other things, Maxim would have tolerated it, but medical care is related to life and health, no joke. A screw costs more than ten thousand dollars, forget it, tolerate it!
As a result, Maxim, who was confused by the maintenance of medical equipment and doubted his life, had not finished thinking about life. The maintenance of the Y-15 itself almost made Maxim, a rather restrained prince of the United Arab Emirates, completely overturn the table.
Ordinary maintenance of a Y-15 costs US$2 million; replacing a few parts starts at US$5 million; if a major failure occurs or the engine or avionics equipment is replaced, US$20 million is just a drop in the bucket, and US$50 million can be spent every minute. It¡¯s little kiss.
You must know that Maxim¡¯s flying hospital is not one Y-15, but a whole five aircraft. Therefore, the annual cost of aircraft maintenance alone is 100 million US dollars. If there is a slight problem, a minimum of 200 million US dollars is normal.
If other bits and pieces of expenses are added in, Maxim's annual expenditure on the air hospital consisting of 5 Y-15s will exceed 300 million US dollars, most of which are lavishly stuffed by Ascendas Group. into his own pocket.
Although Maxim is the real prince of the United Arab Emirates and one of the richest among the rich, the money he has is not brought by the strong wind. It is obtained drop by drop from the oil under his feet. It is also unbearable to deal with such a torment.
So I approached Zhuang Jianye more than once, hoping to reduce the daily maintenance costs of the air hospital.
Zhuang Jianye is such a fastidious person. Of course, he would try his best to meet the demands of rich friends, and then Maxim suddenly discovered that instead of reducing the maintenance cost of the air hospital in his hands, it actually increased by 10% every year.?Rising 5% to 15%.
He could only go to Zhuang Jianye again, but Zhuang Jianye spread his hands and told His Highness Prince Maxim helplessly: "We were originally going to reduce the maintenance fee for Emirates Airline's five Y-15s, but Ascendas Group has recently had a problem with its capital turnover. As a solution, we packaged our aviation maintenance and parts production business as a whole to China Merchants Bank. Now this part of the business has been included in China Merchants Bank. As you know in finance, they are all very dark-hearted, and your side is only going up. 15% is considered a good idea. Do you know what the interest rate is on my loan from them? In total, it¡¯s almost 20%.
I won¡¯t say anything more, my prince, the Yun-15 Air Hospital is just like that. If you don¡¯t want it, you should buy the Air Hospital 2.0 newly launched by our Ascendas Group, which is composed of three TRJ-500 regional passenger aircraft platforms; there are more The large Air Hospital 2.5, two Y-17s combined with two Z-12 helicopters We are currently planning the Air Hospital 3.0. One fcnb-2000 mainline passenger aircraft can accomplish what only five Y-15s can accomplish now. ,How about it? Prince Maxim, do you want to try each one? "
No matter how stupid Maxim is, he knows that he has been cheated. People in the aviation industry today don¡¯t know that Ascendas Group is a shareholder of China Merchants Bank, and its business was acquired by China Merchants Bank. Is that called an acquisition? It's just a chore of turning the left hand into the right hand.
As a result, Zhuang Jianye said such a shameless thing in such a high-sounding way, and wanted to try an upgraded version of the flying hospital. Maxim wished he could slap Zhuang Jianye in the face with a big nose, and even tried it. If he tried it, he, a Middle Eastern prince, would go bankrupt. .
With so many lessons learned and the experience of being cheated, Maxim really has no sense of trust in Zhuang Jianye at all. Let alone a word, just a small look, Maxim has to think carefully. Zhuang Jianye has buried a lot of holes here.
Having been friends for so many years, even Maxim and Zhuang Jianye know how much sheep dung and eggs this guy can poop.
Seeing that His Highness the Prince was so vigilant, Zhuang Jianye didn't care. He took a few puffs on the cigar in his hand, then threw it into the sea without hesitation, and immediately straightened his face: "Your Highness, I know you are very dissatisfied with me, Zhuang Jianye. If that's the case, how about I pay 1.5 billion US dollars to take back the air hospital in your hands? If it doesn't work, can Ascendas Group withdraw from this maintenance business?"
Seeing that Zhuang Jianye didn¡¯t seem to be joking, Maxim immediately panicked and waved his hands repeatedly: ¡°Don¡¯t¡don¡¯t¡Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang¡don¡¯t!¡±
