"I probably don't need an aircraft like this, because the unit maintenance fee is just too expensive. Lin Yilong received a call from a private jet marketing and replied.

Previously, Lin Yilong had mentioned to Sister Yeon that his intention to let his children be born in Milican was not entirely a joke, but that he had really considered it. So I called the importers of Bombardier and Gulfstream, two companies for business jets, and got a lot of quotes. Then he found that business jets that met his needs, such as the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 8000, did not count routine maintenance expenses, and the average cost per flight was much higher than the cost of first class - since it had become an investment fund that was almost free of income tax, there was no tax exemption to offset the high official expenses, and naturally there was no excuse to spend the principal that could have expanded the investment income to pursue personal pleasure, and this idea was dispelled by him. If there is a real need for this, you can generously "burn" some money to rent a private jet, instead of spending nearly £2.5 million a year on the daily maintenance of the business jet.

"It's stingy. Katie, who accompanied Lin Yilong to London, commented on this.

Lin Yilong was invited, and after a few friends of the Farmers' Club decided to hold the club's annual meeting, a small circle of them should also get together, and each of them brought his wife or female companion. Among these four friends, only Lin Yilong is not yet married, and he also brought Katie with him.

At the champagne reception before the banquet began, everyone attending the party waited in a small hall.

"It's been a really boring time. Mr. Folenc-Howe complained, "When people are idle, they don't do anything." ”

"Why don't you go to the Christmas market?" asked Lin Yilong, "like Zurich or Bregenz." ”

"Those are places for older people, and we're still young. Mr. Merck said with a glass of champagne, correcting Lin Yilong's speech.

"If we are not busy before the beginning of spring, we can go to Namibia or Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) to hunt, and we can learn the Orion sport of the year, and it is not governed by the disgusting Hunting Act. Lin Yilong had watched an animal protection documentary the day before, and suddenly it occurred to him that perhaps it might be good to drive an off-road vehicle with a group of private security guards on the grasslands of southern Africa.

Several of the present were gentry living in the countryside, and they were disgusted by the restrictions imposed on their few pleasures by the "city people", and Lin Yilong's suggestion immediately attracted the interest of all the gentlemen.

"I've heard of some of them. "I'm going in my personal capacity, and it's not very good. ”

"Nothing is a problem. Lin Yilong replied, "I'll find an expert in this area, and he will arrange it perfectly." As long as Fred can squeeze out a week or so to go to a nearby elementary school to do research, it's not too much of a problem. ”

"What about firearms?" said Mr. Merck, "neither of us is licensed to hold or use such light weapons." ”

"That's something that those agents need to think about, and we'll have to wait until late January next year to get there and get a little hot, but when the climate is a little more pleasant. ”

While a few gentlemen were announcing their plans, their wives or girlfriends were very silent on the sidelines. Of course, these ladies are also very interested in the "men's pastime" - a country "girl" who is constantly in contact with sheep and cattle slaughter will never care about the death or life of some terrible wild animals, and they will not feel bloody—Katie was born in a prison guard's family, not a country peasant girl in the pure sense, she has not been exposed to anything too bloody, and she is a little eager to try.

"That's a good feeling, and it just happens to be able to reunite with your family without delaying Christmas. Mr. Fisk said, and then copied the phone number of the "Hunting Holiday" agent he had inquired about to Lin Yilong.

"Ladies and gentlemen. The waiter knocked on the door and signaled that the friends could enter the restaurant.

The problem of the lack of morality in England is not particularly obvious here, the seats have been selected before, and Mr. Merck and Mr. Hovey must have sat on one side of the table, and the other side is naturally reserved for Lin Yilong and Fisk.

At the dinner table, with the exception of art, only the Palace of Westminster can only talk about topics that everyone is interested in, and this is estimated to be common in all countries except for the Latin Americans who often date.

"In addition to wishing our friendship to last forever, I would like to take this glass of wine to congratulate our beautiful Miss Catherine Whitehouse on her election as the County Councillor of South Glamorganshire!" Mr. Fisk, the highest-ranking Mr. Fisk, gave a toast, "and I hope that in the days to come I will have the opportunity to be a fellow of Miss Whitehouse at the Palace of Westminster." ”

Mr. Howe and Mr. Merck were surprised - they had not received any information about Mr. Lin's girlfriend. Because several people don't see each other often, this is the first time they have met since the small gathering of Lin Yilong's family in April, and the friendship between the men is not too big with the family after all, which is understandable.

"To Miss Whitehouse!" the others, including Lin Yilong, raised their glasses and drank their first grape drink together.

After that, men and women began to talk about some of the most important topics, such as the chaos in the Middle East and the views of the new leaders of the great powers of the Far East. Others are just talking at the table, and the combined power of the gentlemen at this table can still set off a small storm - although they are really just talking about it now.

Very simple four-course British cuisine, and banquet time also passed quickly.

After dinner, men and women would move separately depending on their gender, with the women chatting in the salon and the men gathering elsewhere to blow water.

It seems that Lin's Namibian proposal has received everyone's support — Mr. Hovey has even begun to imagine himself wearing Henry Stanley's expedition suit and saying to Mr. Hovey next to him, "Are you Dr. Hovey?" — and several people began to formally plan the exact date of the trip. How to get to Namibia or Zimbabwe, how to stay healthy there, and most importantly, personal safety, are all handled by specific holiday specialists, and a few friends will not interfere.

The excitement of the discussion lasted until 10 p.m., when the gentlemen left the living room to find their wives and girlfriends. It's just that after Lin Yilong left, he received a text message from Mr. Merck asking for a meeting.
