Rise of Australia

Chapter 319 The Focus at the Celebration Banquet
"Director Teodor, would it be convenient for you to tell us about the price range of an advanced airship like the Dawn Airship?" Hearing what Director Teodor said, if it is used for non-military Domain, after the rule that airships can be sold, most people breathed a sigh of relief, and someone asked.

Seeing that someone has already taken the bait, Director Theodor replied unhurriedly: "Everyone, I think you also know that it is not easy to make such an airship that can span the entire world. If it is an airship of the previous two generations, it will be fine." , but the cost of the most advanced AU-3 airship has already exceeded [-] pounds, and the selling price should be around [-] pounds."

Doing business with capitalists, you can naturally cheat as much as you want.Even if the real cost of the Chenxi airship is only more than 4 pounds, it will not affect Teodor's wild asking price.

But in fact, to be honest, even if the final sale price is really around [-] pounds, the aviation industry still has a lot of room for development.

The price of an airship ticket for the morning light airship is as high as tens of thousands of dollars, which means at least two thousand pounds to start.

Even without the gimmick of the first round-the-world voyage, it shouldn't be too difficult to keep the fare above £[-].

Anyway, for at least ten years, the use of airships to sail around the world will only be the standard equipment for the rich and dignitaries.

Ordinary people want to sail around the world, except for taking a very slow cruise ship, maybe it can only be realized in their dreams.

If the price of an airship ticket is 58 pounds, an airship can sell 5.8 tickets, which is [-] pounds.

Looking at it this way, it only takes two round-the-world voyages, and the airship tickets sold to the outside world can earn back the entire cost of buying the airship, and even make a small profit.

Even if the ticket price drops even more severely, there is still a guarantee of at least [-] pounds.The fare of a flight can also make a profit of nearly [-] pounds. In addition to the fees provided by various services on the airship, it is as simple as eating and drinking for the airline to get back the cost.

"Director Teodor, when will your firm be able to formally enter into cooperation with the outside world? To tell the truth, I already have plans to establish an airline company. If your firm allows, we can immediately sign an order for at least ten airships. "A man dressed as a British nobleman couldn't wait to say to Director Theodor after hearing the official quotation of the airship.

Taking advantage of the enthusiasm for this round-the-world trip, the airship ticket price should be able to stay above [-] pounds for a while.

This also means that as long as an airline company can be established and flights started earlier, the sooner it can be the first person to share the pie.

Although the current market for airship sailing is only dignitaries in Europe, America and all over the world, as well as capitalists with huge wealth in their hands.

However, the number of dignitaries and capitalists in all countries in the world is also extremely terrifying, and they can fully support the aviation industry.

Especially with the economic development of the United States, the connection between the United States and Europe has become closer.

Fleets traveling between both sides of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen everywhere. If it is possible to replace the cruise ship with the airship, I believe many European and American dignitaries and capitalists are very willing.

More importantly, in addition to carrying people, airships are also good at carrying cargo.

With a maximum full load weight of 40 tons, the airship has become one of the best means of small-scale transportation, and the speed is very fast, even ahead of the train.

Moreover, the airship only needs an open space to take off and land.The train not only needs to build rails and railway stations, but also needs to maintain the rails frequently, otherwise the train will derail.

Compared with these two modes of transportation, everyone present only felt that the previous two modes of transportation, train and cruise ship, were simply weak.

Even some capitalists and dignitaries who have no plans to start an airline company can't help but have the idea of ​​buying a private airship.

After all, airships are such a time saver.With hundreds of people on board, it took only one month and eleven days to travel around the world with many detours.

If only dozens of people were traveling around the world at the fastest speed, it would probably take less than a month without detours.

Under the conversation of everyone, this should have been a celebration banquet of the Aviation Research Institute, but it suddenly turned into a discussion banquet between foreign capitalists and the Aviation Research Institute.

Director Teodor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing that many people were interested in the airship.

Because according to Arthur, at least half of all the profits from the sale of the airship will be invested in the aviation research laboratory for the development and manufacture of aircraft and airships.

What Director Theodor didn't expect was that the sale price of [-] pounds he was asking for was taken for granted by these foreign capitalists.

They didn't even intend to bargain, which made Director Theodor think that the pound had depreciated.

You know, if you look at the sale price of [-] pounds, an airship Australasia can make a profit of [-] 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 armament is just one word, cool!

Are 50 airships really that many?Director Theodor took a closer look at the people around him, and even had the illusion that as many airships as the aviation research was built, these people would monopolize as many airships as possible.

In fact, this is also normal. If the aviation industry can be completely monopolized, the profits earned will be much higher than simply opening an airline.

After monopolizing the aviation industry, at least the airship ticket price can be determined by itself, which is directly related to the airline's profit.

But this doesn't 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.

Using this period of time to earn enough profits for the royal consortium and the aviation laboratory is what Director Theodor is currently planning.

Well, Director Theodor is actually not greedy.If this opportunity can be used to create a budget of at least 300 million pounds for the Aeronautical Laboratory, it will have met Director Theodor's expectations.

At least 300 airships need to be sold for 75 million pounds to make such a profit.

But looking at the capitalists surrounding him in front of him, and thinking about the sensation caused by the news that Australasia intends to sell the airship to the outside world, Director Teodor thinks this The numbers are not exaggerated.

"Everyone, in theory, our Aeronautical Research Institute is fully capable of mass-producing airships. However, it should take some time for formal external cooperation, at least after we have made sufficient preparations. If you are willing, you can go to tomorrow The Aeronautical Research Office signed contracts related to the purchase of airships, watched the airship production line of the Aeronautical Research Office, etc." Director Teodor explained with a smile.

"If nothing else happens, we should be able to sell the first batch of airships after the Olympic Games. 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, after we have expanded the production line, the second batch of airships will enter intense production." Although Director Theodor wanted to take advantage of the popularity of traveling around the world, sell a large number 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.

Anyway, the purchase order needs to be signed in advance, but the production speed of the airship is so fast.This can not only increase the desire of these capitalists for airships, but also make them more generous when spending money.

　The second update, ask for support, ask for a monthly ticket!
