In this way, with tons of red ginseng, matsutake mushrooms, and a lot of handicrafts, plus the century-old wild ginseng king that can sell for at least 300,000 or 400,000 US dollars, Zhang Nan left this mysterious country.

did not enjoy any "superior, save the needy" treatment, the whole trip to see a thriving scene, just know it.

I live in a state guesthouse, and the service staff are carefully selected people, and in the context of rationing, the treatment of these people can definitely be guaranteed, including the reception etiquette staff who were asked by my sister to come.

Want to see the noodles from these people?

Impossible.

In the past few days, Zhang Nan has not asked about the living conditions of ordinary people at all, even if he does not cause trouble for himself or make others embarrassed.

The return journey was smooth, and unlike the route from which it came, it first flew north, from the northern route into the Japan-Honkai, then the plane entered the Russian territorial waters, then crossed Sakhalin and then entered the North Pacific, and then flew directly to San Francisco.

For Zhang Nan's plane, this is a very safe route, and the whole process is reported, and the Russian air traffic control in the Far East is quite polite when communicating.

This is the influence, he has invested in Russia a lot over the years, especially in the Far East, and Komsomolsk has celebrated for him all night!

Xiang Weirong, Jin Wenbo, and several others did not return to the United States on the same plane, but put Zhang Nan on the plane and took a special car to the Pyongyang railway station.

They will travel to China in a truck, and then visit Wenbo's hometown: Wenbo's family is in the United States, but there are still a handful of relatives in his hometown.

The old comrades-in-arms who happened to be on vacation followed the old squad leader to take a look, and then went back to their hometowns or Yan County, it was rare to be so close.

After a long flight, the plane arrived in San Francisco for refueling, and then flew over the vast American continent before arriving in New York.

There are three fresh food trucks waiting at Long Island's own airport, and a ton of top-quality fresh matsutake mushrooms have arrived, which must be delivered quickly.

Keep some on your own estate, some for customers and friends, and some for your own in-house restaurants in New York.

I don't agree with the attitude of Zhang Nan and others towards it, in the eyes of most Americans, this matsutake mushroom is a genuine delicacy.

Send people, do not waste, notify in advance by phone, let the personnel of the logistics department of the parent company get a charter, refrigerated air cargo box, and distribute it step by step.

Zhang Nan didn't care about this, and hurried back to the manor.

It's always unpleasant to sit on the plane for a long time, and it's not good to lie down, so you can say you're tired.

When getting off the plane, Zhang Nan made a joke with others: "If there is a passenger plane with twice the transpacific flight ability, and it is safe enough, I will definitely buy one."

It's such a waste of time every time, annoying the ball!"

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be.

The Concorde has short legs, as does the Tu-144, which does not seem to be very safe and is grounded for several years.

The supersonic airliner is now supported by a Concorde airliner, and the speed development of the world's civil aviation is getting back more and more in the next few years: everything will be considered for economic effects, and there is a lack of enterprising pursuit of the heart.

Zhang Nan was just joking, and Pavel, who didn't think about carrying a briefcase, said to him: "Boss, in fact, you can throw some money at will at the Tupolev Design Bureau and let them modify two or three Tu-144Ds for you."

A few days ago, I heard that NASA, as well as Rockwell Collins and Boeing, want to pull the Tupolev Design Bureau together to study the future supersonic passenger aircraft SST-2, and the Russian side needs to provide the Tu-144D as a research aircraft.

The Soviet Union is gone, and the high-end, supersonic airliners with red bayonets have no soil for competition, and they are doing this in vain, especially the Tupolev Design Bureau, which is completely making wedding clothes for others. ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said, "Have a car with me and talk about it carefully." ”

It turned out that in the new supersonic passenger aircraft project that Pavel said, three Tupolev supersonic airliners from the Tupolev Design Bureau have been grounded, but they are almost in a brand new state as test machines.

Among them, the Tu-144D numbered "CCCP-77114" has an official flight time of only 82 hours, and the other two have flown longer, and the flight hours are counted in "hundreds".

Since entering the jet age, the flight hour life of passenger aircraft has been measured in "10,000 hours", and it is close to 80,000 hours!

In this way, the three Tu-144D supersonic airliners are out-and-out new aircraft, and they are in very good condition.

According to Pavel's knowledge, the project cooperation is still in the early stage of negotiation and preparation, and the US space agency will give the Tupolev Design Bureau more than $30 million for the entire duration of the project.

The price that the Tupolev Design Bureau had to pay was a Tu-144D retrofit with the engine of the Tu-160 strategic bomber as a flight test platform, another Tu-144D ground test bench with the designation CCCP-77112, and a passenger aircraft with the designation CCCP-77115 as a hot standby at all times.

"30 million, at such a price, what about Tupolev selling cabbage!?"

Hearing Pavel's words, Zhang Nan felt a little incredulous.

Pavel sighed and said, "That's it, boss, cabbage price."

The advance preparation of the supersonic airliner project may require a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars, but the Tupolev Design Bureau can only participate in this 30 million share.

The money also includes the cost of testing, of which the three world's fastest supersonic airliners could be worth thousands of dollars, being used as waste, and carrying four NK-32 engines.

If you don't use supersonic cruise, the Tu-144 would have been able to cross the Pacific Ocean long ago since the S was upgraded to the D-shape, and its legs were much longer than the original 144S.

Even if you eat the whole cruise outside of take-off and landing, you use a fuel-efficient speed of Mach 2.2, and the range is more than 9,000 kilometers.

I have taken the Moscow-Khabarovsk flight operated by it, and the distance in a straight line on the ground is 8,350 kilometers, and the actual range in the air may be close to 9,000 kilometers.

The legs are not short, some subsonic, and the cruising range is much farther.

Boss, you don't have to worry too much about safety, you don't need to use the afterburner engine of the Tu-160 at all, just use the original RD-36-51, safety, the coefficient is still okay.

It is suitable for emergency routes, whether it is from New York to The Gambia, New York to Moscow, Gambia to Botswana, or even from Moscow to Central and Southern Africa.

It's fast and high, and the average fighter can only stare at it, and the maximum sustained cruise speed can reach Mach 2.35, which is very fast!

Of course, the plane also has shortcomings, the comfort is a little worse, the noise is a bit loud, and the inside and outside are big.

Boss, if you want to use it to take off and land in New York, you have to get an airworthiness permit here. ”

Speaking of this, Pavel paused, and his expression became slightly more exciting: "It's really exciting, boss, it's super cool for you to use it as a big toy!"

"Wouldn't it be safe enough?"

Zhang Nan remembers that it had two major accidents, and he is still a little worried about this.

"It's okay, two accidents in the 70s, the first time it can be said that it was purely an illegal operation, just to press the Concorde, and the airliner was used as a fighter, messing around!

This time it was still an old model, and the strength of the airframe was also defective, and after the modification, the weight of the airframe structure was increased by almost ten tons.

The second time is obviously that the maintenance is not effective, the oil plug is loose, and the maintenance personnel have insufficient sense of responsibility.

After the second accident in '78, all flights and maintenance were carried out according to flight standards, whether it was passenger or cargo, it never had any accidents, and it was grounded just because the cost of use was a little larger. ”

The cost of use, the whole world will not care about the cost of using private jets, Zhang Nan is definitely one.

Zhang Nan nodded, "Well, it's good to be a big toy." Do you estimate how much it will cost if I get three planes, including the cost of modification and maintenance?"

"Counting the price of the plane, according to the daily travel density of the boss, even if you use all the Figure 144, counting everything, it won't cost you $50 million in five years.

By the way, the hangar fee is an exception, but you don't have to pay that most of the time..."

Even if you buy a plane, it is unknown whether you can get close to New York, and the noise pollution problem;

If you can enter the airport on Long Island, the hangar fee does not exist, and the airport is your own home.

Of course, don't think about the depth of the North American continent, and directly refuse supersonic passenger planes, so as not to get chickens and dogs on the ground when you get them, and the people complain and fight lawsuits twice in three days.

New York has its own airport, and needless to say, in places like Botswana, Gambia, etc., airport fees are completely non-existent.

“... Boss, as long as the plane is bought, the Tupolev Design Bureau, as well as those pilots and maintenance personnel, will definitely do their best. ”

"It's not expensive. ”

Hearing Zhang Nan's words, Pavel laughed a little.

"$50 million, boss, and only you can afford to say that.

You wonder how much the various specialists, technicians and fighters from the Soviet Union in the company are grateful to you.

The treatment you gave made some of their family members live like big people on the territory of the Soviet Union, so our company will maintain such strong combat effectiveness and cohesion.

Don't talk about it in 91, the official inflation in Russia in 92 was 2000%, in fact, it was much more.

Last year, the ruble depreciated by 87 percent, and this year, even if the Kremlin guy says that he wants to save the economy and take some new measures, it is certain that he will continue to depreciate by 7 or 80 percent.

Next year may be better, but if you want to stabilize, you won't have any hope until at least 96.

In Russia, it is impossible for ordinary people to eat enough on a salary increase alone, in the eyes of all Russians who rely on the boss to eat and live a good life.

God is not counted, demigod is a certainty!

Now I don't know how many people want to serve our group, if you want to modify a few Tu-144s, I will find someone to handle it, as long as you hand over an olive branch, Tupolev will 100% immediately dump a few other companies. ”

Zhang Nan laughed when he heard this "hehe": he had already seen that NASA and Boeing were unhappy, and the previous one was very picky, and he was still careful.

The last time Guan Xingquan was in space, a group of experts from NASA and those in power all had a sour attitude.

"The space shuttle doesn't sell seats, so don't chirp!"

But people want to say something sour within the range of Zhang Nan's tolerance, which makes him very unhappy!

As for Boeing, in the past two years, it was quite generous and happy to cooperate in the delivery of its own private jets, but American Airlines, which has the largest stake in its own company, went to order planes, and there were five people and six people.

McDonnell Douglas is sluggish, the aircraft type is not suitable, and compared with European Airbus, Boeing has a natural advantage in the United States, and Airbus's production capacity will be slightly worse.

Although it has not yet reached the point of bullying customers, anyway, it has not reached the point where customers are gods, and in the past two years, they have bought a lot of Airbus planes.

can indirectly make those two deflated, this business is done!

"Then you can contact it, even if you disgust Boeing and the space agency, it's worth having fun!

I have given hundreds of millions of North Koreans, and it is only tens of millions to make a few practical toys that fly the fastest, which is cheap. ”

Tu-144 is known as the "angel with broken wings" in the civil aviation industry of the Red Empire, and Zhang Nan wants to reattach its wings.

There are many shortcomings, and after buying and modifying, I won't sit every time, how can there be so many dangers.

Even if it is used by the company, it is very good, a passenger plane with a cruising speed of Mach 2.2, take it to catch up on the African continent or something, absolutely powerful!

With that, the convoy arrived home.

As soon as I arrived in the living room, I saw Chen Zhanghua and Chen Zhengming's father and son all there.

Old Master Chen is seventy years old, and this trip was specially invited to bring back some good things.

None of the women were there, either in Manhattan, or in Flyba Paris or Los Angeles.

As for the children, except for an honest Lily who is in school, the sons have all been taken away by their mothers.

Coming back a few days earlier than expected would be a good experience.

A ton of North Korean red ginseng gave Zhang Nan a headache, and the invited Master Chen and his son couldn't cry or laugh after hearing it: This is not a radish, it is just a gift in a short time, and it can't be eaten!

Besides, although red ginseng is good, it is basically only popular in Chinese circles, and people like Thomas are not clear at all.

After seeing the sample, Chen Zhanghua said: "Mr. Zhang, you still find a way to transport most of this to Huaxia, they are all sealed and packaged in iron boxes, and things can be stored for a long time in cold storage."

However, it is generally better to take this ginseng as soon as possible, and after a long time, even if it is frozen, the medicinal properties will still slowly run away, which is a pity. ”

"I think so too, you also take some to see if there are any relatives and friends to send, and you can take as many as you need, all of them are high-quality goods. ”

Chen Zhanghua and his son have been serving as the personal doctors of Zhang Nan's family in traditional Chinese medicine for several years, and there is no need to be polite to this gift.

But again, this is ginseng, not radish, it's useless to take too much.

Zhang Nan said again: "They also gave me a ten-tael hundred-year-old Changbai Mountain Korean wild mountain ginseng king, which went down the mountain last year. ”

"Ten taels?!"

Chen Zhanghua's eyes lit up!

"Yes, it's ten taels, it's not false at all.

Master Chen, Zhengming, you can help me see, my family, there are my brother-in-law, Brother Guan, who needs, can eat, how to eat, and kill it as soon as possible.

It's a rare treasure in the world, and it would be a pity if it ran away for too long. ”

The big wooden box was delivered, and after Master Chen looked at it for a while, he said, "I have to check everyone's situation before making a plan."

This ginseng can last for 300 years, and it can't be eaten indiscriminately, and it is a big supplement. With all due respect, Mr. Zhang, you should eat some ginseng at most, otherwise you will have to replenish your breath and get nosebleeds. ”

"Three hundred years?"

"This has been in the same house for five generations, at least three hundred years!"

Ginseng, do not eat indiscriminately.
