Chapter 1225: The President's Pomp
When you order a 747, you are not booking to rent one, but ordering a special private luxury version from Boeing.
Chariz Theron nodded at Zhang Nan's proposal, obviously in favor: 747 is a lot bigger than this 767, who doesn't want to be in a larger space.
Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan didn't say anything, they suddenly heard this, and they felt that Anan's buying a 747 was like buying an ordinary car, and Henri Debosen, who was flattening his chair, was flustered.
"Boss, the 747's million-hour accident rate is almost three times that of the 767!"
During this time, there were many aircraft accidents in American society, and the safety factor of the 767 was revealed to rank third among all passenger aircraft.
As for the Boeing 747, it should be around the tenth place, which is already very safe, but it is still not comparable to the double-engine 767.
The four-engine 747 is not as safe as the double-engine 767, which is beyond the expectations of many people, and many people thought that the aircraft with more engines is safer.
Henry said it casually, and the absolute self would be like this: this guy is in a 767 plane flying over the North Atlantic, and if it is an ordinary subordinate relationship, a fool will say this.
Sure enough, Zhang Nan didn't care about Henry's mouth, but said: "The presidents of the United States are using 747, and the accidents of human factors are not counted, 747 is still quite safe."
You said that if a 747 were hit by a flock of birds, there would still be a chance that one or two engines would survive, at least not outright gliders. ”
Henry Deborsen shrugged his shoulders, and the boss did whatever he wanted.
I thought of it, and asked the flight attendant to say hello to the cockpit, estimating that Nicole at home in New York should not have slept yet, so I called and said the idea of buying a big plane.
"Then buy it, let American Airlines order it to get the lowest discount, and the safety standard is based on Air Force One. Actually, I'm also annoyed with the Gulfstream, it's too small, it's depressing to sit inside, and it's more convenient to have two big planes at home. ”
Since the housekeeper's wife has no opinion, then order, but I can't remember, I will never get it within half a year.
Now the Boeing 747 is the absolute king of the international large aircraft market, and the demand is also large, not as less and less than 20 years later.
After this order, you have to queue up, and Zhang Nan wants a specially customized luxury private jet, not only the manufacturing cycle will be particularly long, but also to meet the special requirements of customers, and it can be delivered by the end of this year.
......
After a long flight and a layover at Lisbon Airport, the plane finally arrived at Mumbai International Airport at 4pm on March 2.
Instead of boarding the plane, they disembarked on a tarmac a little far from the terminal, where security personnel who had arrived early and security personnel from the Indian Foreign Affairs Office were already waiting.
I saw three acquaintances, the police officer Singh, who had provided security services for him, led a team of policemen, as well as Mittal and Cataria of the foreign affairs department.
Of course, the landlord Manu Jia Yin and Davenlar Varma of the Tuwang family are both old friends.
There were two rows of vehicles to pick up people, some of which were arranged by the Indian side, as well as seven bulletproof SUVs that Zhang Nan was used to and his bulletproof Rollsoles.
The bulletproof SUV is also a new model launched by Cadillage last year, and the reputation is "President No. 1" is big enough and stable enough.
Nicole once set a request, in addition to returning to Huaxia, Zhang Nan had to use the bulletproof car prepared by his own family or the company to travel.
There is an office of "United Forces" in Mumbai, but there are not so many vehicles here that meet the boss's travel requirements, where do these bulletproof cars come from?
The answer is next door to Zhang Nan's 767: a huge An-124 giant transport plane was parked side by side on the tarmac, it transported ten cars in advance, and several tons of gifts that the boss took to give friends, and dozens of security and service personnel also arrived a day in advance on this giant transport plane.
Proper travel arrangements for heads of state are still American-style pomp.
Where did the other two cars go?
It was two bulletproof versions of the second-generation Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn, one of which was a wedding gift from Zhang Nan to Manu Jia Yin's eldest daughter, and it cost millions of dollars each, more than three times the price of the ordinary model in the American market.
In two days, the car will be the wedding car of the newlyweds, and Jia Yin's in-laws are also happy to accept such an arrangement - Manu Jia Yin and his in-laws are eligible to go to the UK with money to order this car, but it will take time, and the gifts given by the super-crocodiles of Wall Street in the United States are obviously more face-saving than those bought by themselves.
Yes, it's face, Indian weddings are about face!
As for tariffs and other things, Zhang Nan doesn't have to worry about it, Manu Jia Yin will naturally deal with it, and such a problem is not a big deal for their family.
There is also a silver thorn of the same model is a gift from Zhang Nan to Davenral-Walmart's father, His Excellency Old Wal-Mar: their family seems to like to use a Rolls-Royce, and the last time they sat was an antique Rolls-Royce that has been decades old, and the maintenance condition is first-class!
As soon as they got off the plane, Manu Jain and Davenlar Varma hugged Zhang Nan one after another, and the old friends had not seen each other for a long time, so they had to use the most enthusiastic etiquette.
Here, Manu Jia Yin said very happily: "Mr. Allen, on behalf of the family, I would like to extend my most sincere welcome to you!
A few days ago, I was still worried that you wouldn't be able to spare time, knowing that you are a father again, and the family must be busy. ”
"Alan, it's called Alan. I said Manu, I'm not polite to you, and you don't have to be so formal, right?"
The two laughed at this, the politeness between old friends and the need for the scene, this is just right.
Davenral Varma is an old friend of the Jia Yin family, of course he has to attend the wedding of his friend's daughter this time, Zhang Nan came from the United States, and as a friend, he also took the initiative to pick up the plane.
Manu's family is a steel tycoon in India, so this trip is extremely important to Manu's family - the stone seller is really not as rich as the iron in India, and he does not have a deep background.
The wedding of the top rich people of India is not done at one time, just like this time Jia Yin's family married their daughter, and the wedding ceremony was held at the Taj Mahal Hotel, which is the number one hotel in India, because the guests are not only from India, but also from all over the world, and everyone can't rush to the village of Babalumpur in Gujarat.
It's not that the huge luxury estate of the Jain family in Babalumpur village can't accommodate these guests, but it's the transportation problem, and it's best to go to the Taj Mahal Hotel for the wedding ceremony.
The wedding has to eat, and Jia Yin's family and his in-laws not only hold a banquet, but also hold a banquet all over India, and even go to Antwerp, which is called a thank you banquet.
Therefore, if the whole wedding wants to end, for a family like Jia Yin's family, it will take at least 3 months to complete.
