Chapter 373: Chapter 318: The Focus of the Celebration Banquet



The selling price should be a eighty thousand pounds."

Doing business with capitalists, naturally, they would try to drive up the price as much as possible. Ev if the true cost of the Dawn Airship was only over forty thousand pounds, it did not stop Theodore from asking for such a high price.

But, to be honest, ev if the final selling price was a eighty thousand pounds, there is still plty of room for growth in the aviation industry.

The price of a single airship ticket for the Dawn Airship is as high as ts of thousands of US dollars, which equates to at least a starting price of two thousand pounds.

Ev without the selling point of the first global voyage, it shouldn\'t be too difficult to maintain a ticket price of over one thousand pounds.

At least for the next t or so years, airship travel a the world will ultimately be the standard for wealthy individuals and nobility.

As for ordinary people who want to travel globally, other than taking a considerably slow cruise, perhaps they can only realize this dream in their sleep.

If calculated by a ticket price of one thousand pounds per airship, an airship can sell up to 58 tickets, totaling 58,000 pounds.

With that in mind, just two global voyages would allow the airship company to recoup the tire cost of buying the airship and ev make a small profit.

Ev if the ticket price drops more severely, there should be at least a baseline of five hundred pounds. One voyage\'s ticket revue could make nearly thirty thousand pounds of profit, along with various fees from services offered on the airship, making it incredibly easy for an airline company to break ev.

"Director Theodore, may I ask wh your institute will be able to officially cooperate with external parties? Frankly, I have plans to establish an airline company. If your institute allows it, we can sign an order for at least t airships immediately." A man dressed as an English nobleman, upon hearing the official external quotation for the airship, eagerly spoke to Director Theodore.

Taking advantage of the heat from this global trip, airship ticket prices will likely remain above one thousand pounds for some time.

This also means that the sooner you can establish an airline company and launch flights, the sooner you can become the first person to split the cake.

Although the currt market for airship travel is limited to governmt officials and nobles from Europe, America, and a the world, as well as capitalists with tremdous wealth in hand.

However, the combined number of governmt officials, nobles, and capitalists from all a the world is quite terrifying, ough to sustain the aviation industry.

Especially with the developmt of the United States economy, the connections betwe the United States and Europe have become ev closer.

Fleets can be se back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean. If many European and American officials, nobles, and capitalists can switch from taking cruises to airships, they are likely to be willing.

More importantly, airships are not only great for carrying passgers but also very useful for cargo transportation.

With a maximum payload capacity of 40 tons, airships have become one of the best means of small-scale transportation, with a high speed that ev surpasses trains.

Furthermore, airships only require an op space for takeoff and landing, while trains not only need to build railways and train stations but also require regular maintance of the tracks; otherwise, trains run the risk of derailing.

Compared to these two transport methods, the people prest felt that trains and cruises had be blown out of the water.

Ev some capitalists and nobles who hadn\'t planned to start an airline company couldn\'t help but consider purchasing a private airship.

After all, airships were truly time-saving. Wh carrying over a hundred people, they only took one month and elev days to travel a the world, ev with many detours.

If only carrying a few doz people and traveling a the world at the fastest speed without detours, it probably would take less than a month.

Amidst everyone\'s conversation, what should have be a celebratory feast for the Aeronautical Research Institute suddly turned into a negotiation banquet betwe foreign capitalists and the institute.

Seeing the interest many people had in airships, Director Theodore breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Arthur, at least half of the profits made from selling airships this time would be invested in the Aeronautical Research Room for the developmt and manufacturing of airplanes and airships.

To Director Theodore\'s surprise, the eighty thousand pound asking price for the airships was accepted as reasonable by these foreign capitalists.

They did not ev plan to bargain, which led Director Theodore to wonder if the pound had depreciated.

It should be noted that at the eighty thousand pound selling price, an airship sale would make a profit of forty thousand pounds for Australasia.

For every fifty airships sold, Australasia could build a super dreadnought. This act of expanding one\'s military with other people\'s money is simply exhilarating!

Is 50 airships too much? Director Theodore carefully observed the people a him and ev had the illusion that however many airships the Aeronautical Research Institute produced, these people would monopolize them.

In fact, this was normal. If they could completely monopolize the aviation industry, the profits they would earn would be much higher than simply establishing an aviation company.

If they were to monopolize the aviation industry, they could control airship ticket pricing, which directly affected the aviation company\'s profits.

However, this did not matter much to Australasia at the momt. After all, at this time, only Australasia could build airships capable of traveling a the world.

With this technology, at least for a short time, Australasia held a monopoly in airship construction.

It was Director Theodore\'s plan to use this time to make ough profit for the royal financial group and aerospace laboratory.

Well, in fact, Director Theodore was not greedy. If he could use this opportunity to create at least 3 million pounds in budget for the aerospace laboratory, that would meet his expectations.

It would take the sale of airships to make such a profit from three million pounds.

But looking at the capitalists suring him and thinking about the worldwide ssation caused wh the news of Australasia\'s intt to sell airships became known, Director Theodore considered this number not exaggerated.

"Ladies and gtlem, in theory, our Aeronautical Research Institute has fully mastered the ability to mass-produce airships. However, it will be some time before we officially cooperate with foreign partners, and that will only be after we have made adequate preparations.

If you are all willing, you can visit the Aeronautical Research Institute tomorrow for contract negotiations, such as airship purchases, and to observe our airship production line, and so on," Director Theodore explained with a smile.

"If all goes well, we should be able to sell the first batch of airships after the Olympic Games. However, due to production limitations, the first batch of airships should not be too numerous, and there should be no more than 0 at most.

Rest assured that once we have expanded our production line, the second batch of airships will be in intse production," Although Director Theodore wanted to use the momtum of the worldwide trip to sell a large number of airships for a huge profit.

But a certain level of scarcity marketing was necessary. If too many airships were sold in one go, not only would the production line not keep up, but the effects would not be as good as scarcity marketing.

Anyway, purchase orders need to be signed ahead of time, but the production speed of airships is fast. This would not only increase these capitalists\' longing for airships but also make them more gerous with their money wh the time comes.
