Chapter 227 King Size?

After communicating with Hermes Group, Chen William injected the shares of Hermes Group held by Meta Investment Company into HC Fashion Company, so that he himself will hold 92.42% of the shares of HC Fashion Company.

In the Hermes Group, William Chen also signed a contract with them, that is, Hermes will design and decorate the interior of the Airbus A380 that William Chen will order.

After William Chen bought the Hermes Group, his Troupe-Chen Business Management Company has taken the lead in cooperating with the Hermes Group. In all Troup hotels under its umbrella, Hermes suites have been launched that are not inferior to the presidential suites.

The size of this suite is similar to the hotel's presidential suite. The interior decoration is designed by Hermes designers, and almost all the supplies are Hermes brand. The color is matched with Hermes orange and Hermes gray, which is very luxurious and elegant.

After the success of the Troupe-Chen Oriental Mansion's Hermès suite, all Troup hotels under the joint venture will continue this cooperation.

Therefore, William Chen deliberately handed over the interior design of his largest private jet to Hermès this time. The decoration design cost of nearly [-] million US dollars also made Hermès attach great importance to it.

As William Chen, who is currently ranked fourth in the world and is destined to rank higher and higher, his private jet will attract much attention. If the Hermès Group can undertake such a project and achieve satisfactory results, then the image of the brand's top luxury goods will be greatly improved. It is very beneficial, so Hermes Group will send a professional designer team to accompany William Chen to the Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France, to collect the internal data of the A380 on site, and then listen to William Chen's opinions for design and construction.

Airbus Group attaches great importance to Chen William's arrival. After all, he is the fourth richest man in the world at this time, and this order purchased by Chen William will also become Airbus Group's first custom-made A380 order. Through Chen William This order can promote the A380 model to the field of private business jets.

Therefore, they sent relatively high specifications to welcome the arrival of William Chen and his party. After introduction, they also included technicians from Airbus's private jet customization business.

The Hilton sisters and Miranda were also curious, and accompanied Chen William to the Airbus headquarters, wanting to first see how big the big baby that Chen William newly ordered was.

After looking at it, the three women couldn't help covering their mouths in surprise, it's so big!

Uh, talking about airplanes.

They saw the final assembly process in the Airbus assembly workshop, the A380 ordered by William Chen. At this time, they couldn't see anything else except the big one, because the airframe and equipment had just been installed. After the commissioning, the whole aircraft looks very rough. The cables and frame inside are all exposed, which is not very aesthetically pleasing.

"Our aircraft has been tested and actually flown, and it is very safe. It has surpassed the Boeing 747 model and has become the largest civil aviation airliner in the world."

"The A380 cabin is divided into three floors, the upper two floors can be used for passengers, and the bottom floor is used as a cargo warehouse. If it is transformed into a private jet, the lower floor can be used as a garage, which can randomly carry any model, or even a whole fleet. In this way, after the plane arrives at the airport, the entourage can directly drive the convoy out of the garage, which is very convenient.”

"Our cabin part is as big as three tennis courts, which can provide customers with the largest matching space. It is completely possible to regard the A380 as a palace in the sky. If necessary, we can even set up a swimming pool in it."

The consultant of Airbus introduced Chen William in this way.

Well, this is very convenient. In the future, you can carry your own vehicle with the plane, so it will be more convenient no matter where you go.However, there is a little trouble, because the A380 is too big, so the conditions for take-off and landing are also more stringent, and it needs the highest level 4F airport to be able to take off and land.

Taking Huaguo as an example, there are currently only five 4F-level airports in Huaguo, which are located in Yanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, Rongcheng and HK. Therefore, if you use the A5, your destination will be greatly restricted.

Generally, the level indicators of airports are divided into two categories. According to the reference flight field length of the largest aircraft used in the airport flight area, it is divided into four levels: 1, 2, 3, and 4; The distance between the outer wheels of the landing gear is divided into six grades: A, B, C, D, E, and F from small to large.

因此4F级机场就是目前最高标准的机场，是可用跑道长度大于等于3600米，可用最大飞机的翼展在65m-80m区间，主起落架外轮外侧间距在14-16米区间的机场。

However, this is not a big problem. After all, William Chen still has the Gulfstream G550. This medium-sized aircraft has much lower requirements for takeoff and landing, and he is going to Huaguo. These five cities with 4F airports are enough. If you go to the world For other cities without 4F airports, just transfer to Gulfstream G550.

Next, according to their cabin capacity data provided by Airbus and the recommended plan of their private customization department, designers from Hermès Group and Airbus's private customization professional consultants listened to William Chen's comments on the interior of this private jet Renovation requirements.

The first thing, of course, is to need a bedroom as large as possible, and the bed must be large and comfortable.

Well, the designers of both sides thought of the Hilton sisters and Miranda who came with him, and nodded in understanding.

So the bed needs to be king size?

King size?That is only 203cmX193cm, dare to call it King Size?I really can't stand you European guys who have never seen the world, at least 220cmX200cm!
In addition, all the utensils need to be top-notch. As a customized decoration of Hermès, guests don’t need to see the Hermès logo at a glance, what they need is low-key luxury. When they see those sofas and furniture, they can feel the same People are different, and when they feel the comfort and elegance, they will inadvertently see the humble Hermès logo in the details that are easily overlooked, which can give people the greatest shock.

What's more, the inside of the plane must be highly technological, and the operations that can be completed with controls must never be done manually. It is necessary for all people who take this plane to experience the intelligence in it. There is a deep self-doubt that he is a country bumpkin.

Finally, it is security. The air anti-missile system is a must, and other security defense systems can be added. Anyway, William Chen's life is the most important.

The accompanying Paris and the others also helped give a lot of advice on the decoration of the aircraft, especially Paris, who may have been influenced by some art after going to the Hermès headquarters, and did not suggest adding Some pink interiors, uh, that's a good sign, William Chen can't thank her enough.

After completing the formation at the Airbus headquarters, William Chen and the others did not leave France, but came to the headquarters of Ubisoft, a famous game company in Montreuil.

Here, William Chen met Guillermo, CEO of Ubisoft. The reason for this visit was that William Chen’s Meta Entertainment Media Company wanted to fill in the gaps in the game business in the three major entertainment businesses, film and television, games, and sports. , It has been confirmed that it has acquired 2% of the shares held by them from EA at a price of 20 million US dollars.

In 2004, EA had the idea of ​​acquiring Ubisoft. They wanted to expand the company's influence in the global game industry through the acquisition of Ubisoft.

At that time, they quietly acquired 14% of each other's shares, and then gradually increased their holdings to 20%.

However, EA's acquisition was resisted by Ubisoft. Over the years, Ubisoft tried every means to resist EA's commercial invasion. Finally, under the pressure of various parties, EA finally gave up the idea of ​​acquiring Ubisoft, so their shares in Ubisoft were also lost. too much meaning.

Coinciding with the economic crisis at this time, EA's own business has also been affected a lot, and the company's financial situation has begun to deteriorate. Therefore, after Meta Entertainment and Media Company actively contacted them, the other party paid 2 million US dollars, which is more than the original purchase of these shares. The price was nearly 1 million U.S. dollars, and the Ubisoft shares were happily sold to Meta Entertainment Media.

After learning that William Chen acquired 20% of his company's shares, Ubisoft was very nervous. After all, William Chen's financial resources are not comparable to EA. If he really wants to acquire Ubisoft, Ubisoft will face Greater threat.

This time William Chen came to Ubisoft headquarters to discuss these matters with the other party.
