Chapter 910 Luxury Private Jet
The price of natural gas is actually rising.
As a clean energy, natural gas has great advantages.
The reason why natural gas is very cheap now and other major oil-producing countries have huge natural gas reserves but do not care about natural gas is not because they do not realize the value of natural gas, but because they are limited by the transportation of natural gas.
There are only two ways to transport natural gas, one is natural gas pipeline and the other is liquefied natural gas.
Natural gas pipeline is the fastest and most convenient way of transportation, and the transportation cost is the lowest.
However, this limitation is very large. For the Middle East, only natural gas can be transported to Europe, which has a long route, many countries passed through, and many uncontrolled factors.
In Europe, there are now four natural gas pipelines. The first is the Trans-European Pipeline, which runs from the gas fields in the Netherlands through western Germany and Switzerland to Italy. It is 653km long and has three diameters, 864 and 1974 respectively. It was put into operation. The second is the Trans-Austrian Pipeline, which starts from the first station on the Czech-Austrian border, runs through Austria and enters Italy. It is 774km long and the natural gas source is the natural gas of polar bears. It was put into operation in 1975. The third and fourth are the Central European Pipelines that run across western Germany. One of them enters from the German-Czech border, passes through Germany to the German-French border, connects with the French gas transmission system, and connects to Belgium in the north. The other enters from the German-Austrian border and connects to the Trans-European Pipeline in the south. The diameter is 800~1000mm. It was put into operation in 1983 and 1986 respectively. Both are connected to the Ruhr gas pipeline network in Germany.
There are four natural gas pipelines from the polar bear to Europe, namely the 'Brother' natural gas pipeline, the 'Northern Lights' natural gas pipeline, the 'Union Natural Gas Pipeline', the 'Yamal-Europe' natural gas pipeline, the 'Blue Stream' natural gas pipeline, the 'Nord Stream Natural Gas Pipeline' and the 'Blue Stream' natural gas pipeline.
In the European natural gas market share, the polar bear occupies most of the market share.
This is also a natural advantage of the polar bear's energy exports to Europe.
Of course, Europe's natural gas also includes North African natural gas imported from the south through submarine pipelines, and liquefied natural gas transported from North Africa and the Middle East by oil tankers received by ports in various countries.
For major European countries with large reserves of natural gas, the best choice for natural gas exports is not pipelines, but liquefied natural gas.
And here, Panshan Group's voice is getting bigger and bigger.
Because Panshan Group's voice in liquefied natural gas transportation is constantly increasing.
It is no secret in the world that Panshan Group has mastered LNG ship construction technology. Everyone has reason to believe that Panshan Group will greatly improve in liquefied natural gas transportation.
Of course, there is another aspect, that is, China's oil and natural gas imports are increasing at a terrifying speed.
This is a huge market that no one can ignore.
The Huaxia Petroleum Group Corporation of Panshan Group is responsible for the import of Huaxia energy. Although there are many oil fields and gas fields controlled by Panshan Group, you should know that these exports are subject to tax. Panshan Group's oil fields and gas fields in Kuwait all export oil and natural gas to tax.
It makes a big difference which country Panshan Group pays taxes to.
Why are the Middle Eastern countries getting closer to Huaxia?
In addition to the fact that Huaxia has always pursued cooperative supply and achieved a win-win effect through bilateral cooperation, there are no economic or political additional conditions for buying arms from Panshan Group. Another very important reason is that Huaxia is a huge market that can bring endless benefits to the Middle Eastern countries.
The next morning, Liu Tao brought Saad to the airport.
There is a Y-10 and a Y-13 parked here.
Liu Tao introduced: "This is the trunk and regional passenger aircraft independently developed by China, 100% made in China. We have modified these two aircraft into business aircraft, which are very suitable for business aircraft."
Saad couldn't help but exclaimed.
China's Yun-13 regional passenger aircraft has long been known throughout the world.
Who would have thought that China not only solved regional passenger aircraft, but also trunk passenger aircraft.
Civil aircraft, this is a high-tech manufacturing industry.
This model was previously monopolized by the United States and Europe.
"Liu, my good friend, have you successfully developed China's trunk passenger aircraft?" Saad couldn't help but said.
Liu Tao smiled lightly and said: "Of course, this is not a problem for us."
In fact, the Yun-10 has also matured, and what is lacking now is only a part of the test, but Liu Tao is very confident about it.
Liu Tao led Saad into the Yun-13 aircraft, and saw that the interior was decorated very luxuriously, which was ten or a hundred times more luxurious than Liu Tao's own private aircraft.
The decoration inside cost a total of 10 million RMB.
It can be said that they are all the best.
The carpet is the best artificial carpet, and the seats are also the best. The wood used is also high-quality wood, and there are even gold ornaments!
The decoration inside is specially designed for the rich in the Middle East.
If someone in China has such a luxurious private jet, he will definitely be criticized and embarrassed.
But for the rich in the Middle East, this is a routine operation.
Liu Tao noticed that Saad did not have an experienced look, and his eyes just meant "okay".
After visiting this Y-13, Liu Tao took Saad to another Y-10 next to it.
Unlike the Y-13, Saad's eyes lit up as soon as he entered the Y-10.
This is a luxurious "flying palace". In addition to 5 luxurious suites, there is also a concert hall, a prayer room and an operating room. Everything is top-notch.
The decoration cost alone reached 50 million RMB.
"Liu, I like your two private jets very much. I will buy both of them!" Saad was more and more satisfied as he looked at them.
Especially this Yun-10, which made Saad very satisfied. It was better than his current private jet.
Liu Tao was not surprised, after all, these local tyrants were so rich.
Saad's wealth is definitely among the top three in Kuwait, with a wealth of nearly 10 billion US dollars.
Buying two private jets is simply too easy.
Yun-13 private jet, 90 million RMB or 22.5 million US dollars.
Yun-10 private jet, 800 million RMB or 200 million US dollars.
Saad bought these two planes without blinking an eye.
As for the fact that the Y-10 has not obtained the airworthiness certificate in the Middle East, that is not a problem at all.
This is Saad's trust in the reputation of Panshan Group. He believes that Panshan Group will not destroy its reputation.
Over the years, facts have proved that Panshan Group's reputation is very good.
What they say is what they mean. In terms of integrity, they are far ahead of Europe and the United States.
The Internet and communication on these two aircraft are through China's Internet satellite and communication satellite. The security is very strong. There is no need to worry about Europe and the United States leaving any secret doors on the aircraft.
Liu Tao was not stingy with Saad's generosity and gave him three years of free maintenance.
