Chapter 319 The focus at the celebration banquet
"Director Teodor, could you please reveal the approximate price range of an advanced airship like the Dawn Airship?" I heard what Director Teodor said, if it is used for non-military purposes After the rule that airships can be sold in the field, most people breathed a sigh of relief, and some people asked. new igh.πππ
Seeing that someone had taken the bait, Director Teodor replied unhurriedly: "Everyone, I believe you also know that it is not easy to build such an airship that can span the entire world. It would be okay if it were the airships of the previous two generations. , but the cost of the current most advanced AU-3 airship has exceeded 60,000 pounds, and the sales price should be around 80,000 pounds."
When doing business with capitalists, you can naturally get as many scams as you want. Even if the real cost of the Dawn airship is only over 40,000 pounds, it will not affect Teodor's sky-high asking price.
But to be honest, even if the final sale price is really around 80,000 pounds, there is still a lot of room for development in the aviation industry.
The price of a morning airship ticket is as high as tens of thousands of dollars, which starts at at least two thousand pounds.
Even without the gimmick of the first round-the-world voyage, it shouldn't be very difficult to keep the ticket price above one thousand pounds.
Anyway, for at least more than ten years, using airships to sail around the world will only be a standard feature for the rich and nobles.
Ordinary people who want to sail around the world may only be able to realize it in their dreams, except for taking a very slow cruise ship.
If the price of an airship ticket is one thousand pounds, an airship can sell 58 tickets, which is 58,000 pounds. Newπ .π²πΎπΌ
Looking at it this way, it only takes two voyages around the world to earn back the entire cost of purchasing the airship by selling airship tickets, or even make a small profit.
Even if the fares fall even more seriously, at least the minimum guarantee of 500 pounds is still available. The ticket price of a voyage can also generate a profit of nearly 30,000 pounds. In addition to the fees for various services provided on the airship, it is as simple as eating and drinking for the airline to make back the money.
"Director Teodor, I wonder when your firm will be able to officially reach cooperation with other countries? To be honest, I already have plans to establish an airline. If your firm allows it, we can immediately sign an order for at least ten airships. "A man dressed as a British aristocrat couldn't wait to say to Director Teodor after hearing the official external quotation of the airship.
While the popularity of this round-the-world trip has not yet dissipated, airship fares should remain above a thousand pounds for some time.
This also means that the sooner an airline can be established and flights start, the sooner it can be the first to share the cake.
Although the current market for airship navigation is only high-ranking officials in Europe, America and around the world, as well as capitalists with huge wealth in their hands.
But the number of dignitaries and capitalists from all countries in the world is extremely terrifying, and they can completely support the aviation industry.
Especially as the U.S. economy develops, the relationship between the United States and Europe has become closer.
Fleets traveling between both sides of the Atlantic can be seen everywhere. If it were possible to exchange cruises for airships, I believe many European and American dignitaries and capitalists would be willing to do so. New πΌπΏ Book BarβπΌπΏππππ‘.πππ
More importantly, in addition to carrying people, airships are also good at carrying cargo.
With a maximum full load weight of 40 tons, airships have become one of the best means of small-scale transportation, and their speed is very fast, even ahead of trains.
Moreover, airships only need an open space to take off and land. Trains not only need to build rails and train stations, but also need to maintain the rails regularly, otherwise the trains will derail.
Comparing these two modes of transportation, everyone here felt that the previous two modes of transportation, trains and cruise ships, were simply weak.
Even some capitalists and dignitaries who had no plans to start an airline could not help but come up with the idea of ββbuying a private airship.
After all, airships really save time. Carrying hundreds of people, it only took one month and eleven days to travel around the world, taking many detours.

If only a few dozen people were to travel around the world at the fastest speed, it would probably take less than a month without taking any detours.
As everyone talked, what was supposed to be a celebration banquet for the Aviation Research Institute suddenly turned into a negotiation banquet between foreign capitalists and the Aviation Research Institute.
Director Teodor couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that many people were interested in airships.
Because according to Arthur, at least half of all profits earned from the sale of the airship will be invested in the aviation research laboratory to develop and manufacture aircraft and airships.
What Director Theodor didn't expect was that his sky-high asking price of 80,000 pounds was actually taken for granted by these foreign capitalists.
They didn't even intend to bargain, which made Director Teodor think that the pound had devalued.
You know, if the sales price is 80,000 pounds, an airship Australasia can make a profit of 40,000 pounds.
For every 50 airships sold, Australasia is able to build one super-dreadnought. This kind of behavior of spending other people's money to expand one's own armaments is, in one word, cool!
Is 50 airships really a lot? Director Teodor carefully observed the people around him, and there was even an illusion that these people would monopolize as many airships as aviation research could build.
In fact, this is normal. If you can completely monopolize the aviation industry, the profits you can earn will be much higher than simply opening an airline.
After monopolizing the aviation industry, at least the airship fares can be determined by oneself, which can be directly related to the profits of the airlines.
But this does not matter to the current Australasia. After all, only Australasia can build an airship capable of traveling around the world at this time.
With such technology, Australasia had a monopoly on airship construction, at least for a short time.
Use this time to earn enough profits for the royal consortium and the aviation laboratory. This is what Director Teodor is currently planning.
Well, Director Teodor is actually not greedy either. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to create a budget of at least three million pounds for the aviation laboratory, we will have achieved the expectations of Director Theodor.
For three million pounds, at least 75 airships need to be sold to the outside world to earn so much profit.
But looking at the capitalists surrounding him, and then thinking about the sensation caused around the world after the news that Australasia intended to sell airships exploded around the world, Director Theodor felt that this The numbers are not exaggerated.
"Everyone, theoretically speaking, our Aviation Research Institute is fully capable of mass-producing airships. However, it will take some time for formal foreign cooperation, at least after we have made sufficient preparations. If you are willing, you can go there tomorrow The Aeronautical Research Laboratory, signing contracts related to the purchase of airships, watching the airship production line of the Aeronautical Research Laboratory, etc.," Director Teodor explained with a smile.
"If nothing else happens, we should be able to sell the first batch of airships after the Olympics. However, due to the limited production scale, the number of the first batch of airships should not be too many, and it should not exceed 20 at most. However, Please rest assured that after we expand the production line, the second batch of airships will enter intense production." Although Director Teodor wanted to take advantage of the popularity of traveling around the world and sell large quantities of airships to earn enough profits.
But appropriate hunger marketing is also necessary. If too many airships are sold at one time, the production line will not be able to keep up, and the effect will be far less than that of hunger marketing.
Purchase orders need to be signed in advance anyway, but airships can only be produced so quickly. This can not only increase the desire of these capitalists for airships, but also make them more generous when spending money.
