Looking at the small twin-engine propeller plane in front of them, Chen Shouhua, Geng Shaojie and others were a little surprised, Geng Shaojie asked the comrades in the embassy in a low voice: "Secretary Liu, this plane ...... It's so small. ”

It is indeed small, not to mention compared with a large transcontinental aircraft like Boeing 707, even compared with those DC-8, DC-9, and Boeing 737 parked not far from the airport, it is also extraordinarily small and exquisite, just like a 1.4 meter girl standing next to Mu Tiezhu, but one thing must be admitted, that is, this small plane is really beautiful, like a beautiful little girl.

"Hehe......" Secretary Liu laughed twice, but there was not much ridicule: "This is a private plane, not a civil aircraft, do you think you can compare the bus serving the people with the car serving the leader?"

That's the truth!

Secretary Liu's explanation of the image made Geng Shaojie suddenly suddenly, this is indeed the truth, the car must be exquisite, and the bus, no matter how big it is, cannot be compared with the car.

But looking at the crowd and then at the plane in front of him, Chen Geng frowned slightly, and suddenly said to Statham, who had to be not only a bodyguard but also his own half assistant during this time: "Statham, do you think our plane is a little small?"

"Uh...... It's okay," Statham scratched his head, and said honestly, he actually agreed with his boss's words, the boss's King Air 200 can take up to seven passengers at the same time, and now in addition to himself and the boss, there are five guests, the plane is full, even if there is no place to sit for one more guest, it is indeed a bit small, from the perspective of business reception, it will seem that the host is a little embarrassed: "So, boss, are you going to change the plane?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then what size plane are you going to change?Do you have a target?Do you need me to contact you and the other party?" Statham immediately asked, he did a good job as an assistant.

"Let's find a suitable civil airliner," Chen Geng thought for a while: "Let's use a civil aircraft to modify." ”

In fact, Chen Geng still likes this King Air 200 very much, and he didn't feel that the space of this plane is not enough, but it was at this moment that Chen suddenly realized that the King Air 200, which has only seven passenger seats and a maximum range of 2000 kilometers, is actually more suitable as a "private plane" rather than a "business aircraft".

In contrast, the business jet modified with the Il-62M that I once owned is more suitable for business and business reception, although the Il-62M is indeed a little more fuel-efficient, but the space is really large, and it is really comfortable to sit.

“......”

Statham listened directly to the stupid: modified with a civil aircraft?!

He subconsciously felt that his boss was simply crazy, and who used the business jets converted from civil aircraft? It was only those world-class powers that used large civil aircraft to modify their own top leaders with special planes, such as the Boeing 707, the presidential plane of the United States, and the Tu-154M and Il-62M, which were the general secretary of the CPSU. For the giants of business jet demand, the Gulfstream II is the limit...... Well, except for Boeing, who let them produce the aircraft themselves.

But except for those companies that produce aircraft, I have never heard of a company that would convert a civil aircraft into a business jet.

"Is there a problem?" Looking at Statham's stupid appearance, Chen Geng felt a little funny.

"This ...... This ......"

Statham was hesitant and didn't know what to say for a while.

"The price of a 10 to 15-year-old DC-9 airliner is basically the same as that of a Gulfstream II of the same age, and the fuel consumption is not much worse than 20%, but the interior space of the DC-9 is several times that of the Gulfstream II. The range of the 9 is only half of that of the Gulfstream II, and in Chen Geng's view, this is not a problem, since it is used as a business jet, the huge belly luggage compartment is not needed, and several fuel tanks can be added to achieve a large range, which is what the BBJ business jet launched by Boeing based on the Boeing 737 does.

"Is that so?" Statham was a little confused.

Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and did not answer directly, but said: "You ask our aircraft disassembly company to help me inquire, and if there is a suitable DC-8, let me know." ”

Statham nodded confusedly: Listen to the meaning of the boss's words...... Is that a little too hasty?

The conversation between Chen Geng and Statham fell word for word in the ears of Secretary Liu, Chen Shouhua and others, knowing how rich Chen Geng was, Secretary Liu was okay, although he was also frightened by Chen Geng's decision, but considering that Chen Geng was just planning to buy a second-hand DC-9 for modification, it didn't sound like it would cost much...... Although Chen Geng's "can't spend" much money is relative to his own wealth...... After the initial surprise, they quickly accepted it, but several FAW comrades led by Chen Shouhua were all dumbfounded!

Needless to say, Secretary Liu's English ability can be sent to the United States by the state to serve as a staff member of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, his English ability is naturally extremely good, although Chen Shouhua and others learned Russian, but since the easing of Sino-US relations in 1972, many officials in China who are aware of the improvement or even normalization of relations between China and the United States have begun to learn English。

If you understand it, you will understand it, but this kind of small plane is already the limit that a group of people can accept, and a large civil aircraft like DC-9 can be converted into a private aircraft?

It's not a problem to brag, man, it's normal to brag, but the question is to work with such a person who likes to brag and brag without a score, is it appropriate?

..............................

But this doubt did not last long, when Chen Geng said that he would entertain a few friends from China at his home, and after the convoy drove into Chen Geng's manor, the turtles of FAW were dumbfounded!

From the gate, there are bodyguards wearing black suits, wearing sunglasses, and bulging waists, obviously carrying guns, entering the manor, from time to time you can see bodyguards patrolling with huge wolf dogs and workers mowing the lawn with lawnmowers......

How have a group of turtles who have just reformed and opened up ever seen such a scene?!

Thinking that such a big place was all owned by Chen Geng, Lu Lin, who was the youngest and "just" the deputy director of FAW, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and director of the Automotive Research Institute, couldn't help but murmured: "Old Chen, this is ...... It's too extravagant, and the landlords before liberation don't have such good conditions, right?"

"The old wealth of the landlords before liberation...... Lao Lu, what was the old wealth of the landlords before the liberation, and now they are young in their teens and twenties, don't we know yet? Do you think the life of those landlords and old wealth can be compared with Chen Geng?" Chen Shouhua said without self-deprecation.

As soon as Chen Shouhua's words came out, the group was speechless.

Indeed, before the liberation of the landlords and old wealth is not at all as many people imagine, wives and concubines, servants in groups, all day long in the wine pond meat forest to live a drunken life, except for those who own the land of a city or even half of the province of the super big landlords, the general small and medium-sized landlords are not at all good in life, the middle of the night chicken crow Zhou Papi is the true reflection of the small and medium-sized landlords in the context of that era, usually when eating dishes are reluctant to fry more, The oil is reluctant to put a little more, as for eating meat, less than the New Year's Day, meat is not to think about it, in the anti-Japanese drama, an ordinary small landlord has at least eight dishes for a meal, including at least six meat dishes, don't even think about it.

As for the wives and concubines...... There were concubines, but the concubines at that time were more of a maid, and they were concubines at night: facing the yellow-faced woman all day long, the landlord also needed to change his taste.

Lower than Chen Shouhua and other people who came from the old society, they know too well what the situation of the old society is, and the life of the landlord in the old society can be compared with Chen Geng's current enjoyment?

What an international joke.

"Director Chen, you are not very familiar with the situation in the United States, you may not have enough understanding of Mr. Chen's strength, and it is normal to have some misunderstandings about Mr. Chen's strength and energy," looking at Chen Shouhua and his party as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, Secretary Liu said meaningfully.

When he was on the plane just now, Chen Geng, who was discussing with Statham with great interest to buy a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 passenger plane to convert into a business jet, may not have noticed the reaction of Chen Shouhua and others, but Secretary Liu saw it, in order to avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings, he felt that he needed to remind this group of turtles who had never seen the world: "Mr. Chen's strength is unimaginably strong, if he says what he wants to do, you better believe that he can really do it, if it is not for Mr. Chen Geng's special feelings for the country...... You should have been in contact with other foreign automobile manufacturers, and you should know very well what the attitude of those companies is. ”

Knowing that Secretary Liu was kindly reminding himself to cherish this opportunity to cooperate with Chen Geng and AMC, Chen Shouhua said gratefully: "Secretary Liu, thank you for the reminder." ”

"You're welcome, Hongqi has been discontinued, and I think it's a pity. ”

“......”

The turtles of FAW had a fever on their faces.
