Chapter 233 Leveraging the Military-Industrial Complex(2/3)

Among the five large aircraft, Jessica Alba immediately recognized one of them, a Gulfstream G400 with green, white and red paint and a rich Mexican style.

Because of this Gulfstream G400, from the painting to the name of the aircraft itself, as well as the interior decoration of the aircraft.

Jessica Alba herself selected them all from the customized picture album provided by Gulfstream.

"Pretty?"

Abel smiled and approached Jessica from behind, feeling her curvy, slim and material figure.

"The Jessica is your private jet. With your livery, it will make people misunderstand that it is a business jet from Mexico."

Jessica Alba is half-Mexican, her mother is Mexican.

Maybe for this reason, she prefers green, white and red.

When I was choosing the paint for the aircraft, I chose this color.

As a result, now that the painting is out, people who don’t know it would think it’s a business jet from Mexico.

Uh." Jessica herself actually regretted it at this time.

This look does look a lot like a Mexican business jet.

Abel saw her hesitation and regret, he smiled and said:

"If you are not satisfied, then postpone it for another half month or a month. Send it back and repaint it, and change it to a color you like."

"Is this possible?" Jessica turned back in surprise, her face only a few centimeters away from Abel.

"Of course. As long as it doesn't affect flight safety, you can play whatever you want?" Abel said to the girl with a smile.

"mua~"

Jessica kissed Abel hard on the mouth, and she hugged Abel tightly: "My dear, you are so kind!"

Jessica knew how to change the paint of such a large aircraft.

That cost is not cheap.

Let a large aircraft like the Gulfstream G400 change its livery again.

The cost of materials, labor and hours costs almost a million dollars at a time.

If the painting color or shape is complicated, you will have to pay extra.

It cost millions of dollars to change the color of the aircraft itself to this color.

If it were to be changed again, it would be another million dollars.

Jessica thought for a while and said, "Let's keep it this way for now. If it doesn't work, change the color again!"

She had waited too long for this private plane.

It was sent back for painting again, which would take another month or two.

Jessica Alba can't wait.

She eagerly hopes to be featured in Hollywood or other American media in the next few days.

Reports like this can appear——

[The Hollywood Private Flight Club has added another member—the eye-catching Jessica!]

Jessica felt happy when she thought of this.

As soon as the extended Lincoln City stopped, she couldn't wait to open the door and get out of the car.

Abel then got out of the car with a smile.

He motioned for his bodyguards and Gulfstream employees to take Jessica to see her Gulfstream G400, the "Jessica".

On the way to the Gulfstream G400 "Jessica".

Jessica Alba also noticed that there was a Gulfstream G400 with original factory painting parked next to the "Jessica".

This Gulfstream G400 with its original factory paint also has its name on it.

Its name is "Annie".

Seeing this name, Jessica gritted her teeth slightly and quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

She pretended not to see the plane or the name.

Compared to Anne Hathaway, she may not be as smart or as high in IQ as Anne.

But Jessica is also easier to compromise, more realistic, and knows better what she wants and what she can do.

This is nothing like Anne.

Anne also hesitated several times and struggled for several months.

This has something to do with their family background, tutoring, and the environment in which they grew up.

Abel, for his part, was in no rush to visit his palace in the sky, the Boeing 747.

He was shaking hands with two other people.

Of these two people, one is Gulfstream CEO Jim Momo.

Gulfstream was acquired by General Dynamics in 1999.

General Electric was once a subsidiary of General Electric, but is now fully independent.

Today, General Dynamics is one of the largest military ordering contractors in the United States.

Gulfstream is essentially a small company within the military-industrial complex.

This is also the reason why Gulfstream, which is located in the United States, will not be defeated and acquired by Boeing.

Another person who shook hands with Abel was Boeing CEO and Chairman Phil Condit.

The identities of these two parties are responsible for the delivery and handover.

You can see how much importance Boeing and Gulfstream Aerospace attach to Abel.

Such a rich man who can buy so many planes at one time and dares to buy so many planes.

Even if we look around the world, we are considered to be a super big customer.

Coupled with Abel's status on Wall Street and in the media, the boards of directors of both companies felt that they could not take him too seriously.

So they also sent their own leaders-Mojieming and Phil Condit.

Phil Condit has a bald head, and Mojamin looks to be of Italian descent.

Both of them are dressed like typical elite managers, wearing suits and leather shoes and looking energetic.

After the handshakes and pleasantries were over, Abel suddenly said to Mo Jieming a little abruptly:

“Is General Dynamics interested in selling Gulfstream Aerospace?”

Hearing Abel's words, the CEO of Gulfstream Aerospace was stunned.

It took Mojieming a few seconds to determine what Abel was talking about.

Mojieming forced a smile and said: "Mr. Smith, are you kidding? Gulfstream Aerospace is not a big company, so why are you interested?"

Gulfstream Aerospace's annual revenue in the past two years has been approximately US$3-3.5 billion.

As for the profit, since it is not listed, outsiders don’t know it.

Based on annual revenue of about US$3 billion, it can indeed only be considered a medium-sized company in the United States.

By comparison, Boeing, owned by Phil Condit, who is standing next to him, often has revenue of up to 20 to 30 billion U.S. dollars in a quarter.

That is the real industry giant.

But because of this, Abel didn't ask Phil Condit at all.

Because Abel knew that it would be difficult for him to get Boeing.

That is the giant in the military-industrial complex, if it can really control Boeing.

Abel himself has long been a giant in the military-industrial complex.

In fact, compared to Gulfstream Aerospace, Abel wanted to get the Hughes aircraft from the Texas consortium.

Hughes Aircraft does not build its own aircraft.

But it is one of the largest privately owned aircraft parts and accessories manufacturers in the United States.

The main core components of Gulfstream Aerospace and Boeing aircraft are made by it.

The famous F22 Empress engine is said to be produced and designed by Lockheed Martin, but more than 60% of its accessories come from Hughes Aircraft.

If you can master the Hughes aircraft, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to holding a pill in the U.S. aviation industry.

In that case, the military-industrial complex would have no choice but to welcome him.

It's a pity that I can only think about this kind of thing.

Hughes Aircraft is the core industry of the Texas Consortium, and now the Texas Consortium no longer even has access to Abel.

Not to mention giving Abel control of the Hughes aircraft.
