The wind swept the clouds, the sky was crisp, and the sky seemed particularly clear today.

However, for the people waiting on the tarmac, such a sunny day is full of torment. The sun shone on the dark professional clothes, and the warm and hot sweat was very hot, but everyone was embarrassed to hide in the lounge because of their demeanor and demeanor, so they could only stand outside and suffer.

"Look!

A sudden exclamation drew the attention of the crowd from the ground to the air, and they looked up and let out exclamations.

A slender plane with a blue front and white back appeared in everyone's field of vision through the thin white clouds overhead. Driven by two Rolls-Royce B turbofan jet engines at the tail with a combined 14-tonne thrust, the 45-tonne aircraft is lighter and faster than the Seagull, at least one-seventh as fast as the former.

Under the gaze of everyone, the plane turned lightly and began to slide down to the runway, and landed smoothly on the runway, causing a burst of cheers.

Although the planes they usually take on are larger and more expensive, everyone can't help but cast their eyes of reverence and envy on them. This is a private jet, but a private jet worth 400 million, an airplane in hand, just go, how domineering, how cool, do you build it?

In the continuous sound of the shutter, a cute little yellow car drove up, lit up the FLLE light box overhead, and guided the blue plane to taxi off the runway and in the direction where everyone was.

When the plane came to a stop again and the gangway door was slowly lowered, the applause crackled out, conveying the welcome of everyone present to this distinguished guest. It's a pity that the waiting apron is empty, and no matter how hard you slap it, the sound is sparse and scattered, and it doesn't seem lively enough.

Roger Sparry, who was also dressed in a formal suit and combed with white hair, appeared at the door of the cabin, looked around, and soon found Atletico Madrid, who had just come out of the crowd, and hurriedly walked down and walked over to greet the other party warmly.

Atletico Madrid actually just arrived, and after completing the formalities, they caught the plane to land, but they didn't delay much time.

After a long wait and repeated communication, the plane finally flew in front of its owner. The handover ceremony had already been completed at the Gulfstream Savannah headquarters, and now only the subsequent procedures of applying for nationality registration, airworthiness certificate, and radio station license from the Civil Aviation Authority remained, and naturally the management company was busy.

For publicity reasons, Gulfstream approached Atletico with the hosting company of his choice and persuaded him to agree to another handover in China. Atletico Madrid is not one of those veteran rich men who are afraid of showing their heads, and they do not have scruples such as not revealing their wealth, and then they have today's scene.

Although this is not the first G650 in China, let alone the first large business jet, but after the invitation issued by the hosting company and the airport, there are still many reporters from inside and outside the province.

Standing in front of the backdrop, Atletico and Roger complimented each other's company a few words, and then Roger handed a model airplane to Atletico, and then grabbed Atletico's hand and smiled at the camera at the flash, and his task was over. And Atletico have to do it again, this time to hand over the model aircraft to the boss of the hosting company, meaning to hand over the plane and trust to the other party, and then there is another wave of shutter clicks.

After the ceremony, Roger, as the manufacturer's representative, invited Atletico to the plane for a spin. Then there was the welcome visit, where a group of reporters were invited to witness the rare and expensive toy, and of course they raised their cameras to point at someone posing on the sofa.

After taking the photo, Roger Sparry personally led everyone into the cockpit despite the fatigue of the long-distance flight across the ocean, and introduced the excellent performance of the aircraft in Chinese with a strange tone.

As for Atletico on the sofa, he didn't get up with the tea sent by the flight attendant, and drank it calmly and slowly. From the time of booking to delivery, there was too much time between the time between the order, the back and forth reports and acceptances, and the documents were repeated, and his initial freshness had long been exhausted, and the excitement at the beginning was gone.

"Boss, are you just sitting like this?" asked Zhu Lingling curiously.

Taking a sip of tea, Atletico said leisurely: "I have already looked down on all this, hundreds of millions or hundreds, isn't it the same sitting and drinking tea?"

The former snorted, "This sounds so familiar, why does it smell like chicken soup?"

"I'd like to lie down comfortably, and I'd better roll around and have some fun, but do you think I can do it now?"

Turning her head to look at the noisy cockpit, Zhu Lingling nodded and said, "So you can only hold it so elegantly and comfortably." ”

Atletico didn't answer, just continued to drink tea, or rather, the action was his answer.

After listening attentively for a while, the female assistant patted the flight manual on the royal blue skirt, "This old Luo is also very able to say, obviously the engine is from the British Rolls-Royce, the wing is from the United States, the tail and instruments are purchased from the Netherlands Fokker, the weather radar is from Honeywell, the control system is led by Dr. Qian Zhongyan of Rockwell Collins, the United States." He seems to have only mentioned the technical parameters and international rankings, but he didn't mention the supplier brand, the domestic production rate and the independent rate!"

"Coordinating and organizing so many suppliers to build this aircraft together, Gulfstream still did a lot of meaningful and valuable work. Besides, except for the principal of Beijing Post Fang, no one can block Lao Mei, and they naturally don't have to care about the domestic production rate and independent rate or anything. ”

After a pause, Atletico smiled again and said, "Obviously, Sparry's Chinese is not learned in vain. Knowing what songs are sung on the mountain, many of us are aware of the discriminatory mentality of "assembled goods", and naturally we will not emphasize those suppliers boringly. Moreover, these suppliers are not Inel, who loves advertising, and the distance from the general public is too far, so many brands and many people may only know Rolls-Royce, and may be mistaken for Rolls-Royce, so they simply don't mention it. ”

In 1906, Rawls and Royce co-founded the automobile company, using their surnames as their company names. In the 70s, the company was struggling, and the British government separated the car from the aircraft engine, and the English name did not change, but the translation was different from Rolls-Royce and Rolls-Royce (referred to as Rolls-Royce).

When the two of them talked, from time to time there would be the eloquent voice of the vice president of sales of Gulfstream, as well as the exclamations and exclamations of the crowd, obviously the former is very good at speaking skills, and can talk about the boring technical parameters in a tall and dazzling, mighty and domineering, so as to mobilize everyone's emotions well.

Pointing to the front, Atletico Ma smiled and quipped: "Take a look, what do you mean to do a line of love and love? Lingling, you also learn a little more! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Lingling didn't raise her head and said: "How much money to do as much as you want, promotion without salary increase is not in line with the Basic Law, boss, are you planning to give me a salary increase?"

Atletico stretched out his hand and pointed to the briefcase beside her, which contained a series of escrow documents just signed, and sighed quite painfully: "I don't have any money now! I have insurance premiums and value-added tax, parking fees and hangar fees, route fees and fuel fees for take-off, guidance fees and maintenance fees for landing, and pilots made of gold and flight attendants made of silver.

Hearing her boss's complaints, Zhu Lingling patted her briefcase with a smile, "I'm afraid of spending money, it's not easy?

Atletico laughed angrily at her words, tilted his head to look at the female assistant: "Depreciation expenses of more than 100,000 yuan a day, I have to pull it back to watch when I am full?"

"Isn't that over, tens of millions of dollars have been spent on the purchase of the plane, and you still care about these eight thousand? This plane will soon make money for you!"

Whether it is a private jet or a corporate business jet, it is impossible to use it every day, so the management company usually has an escrow rental business, and the aircraft is rented out to make money by the owner at a time when the owner determines that it will not be used, although the fee is expensive but very popular. Compared with spending tens of millions of dollars to buy a private jet, the cost of temporarily renting one is undoubtedly much smaller, and it is more low-key and practical.

Atletico Madrid had just signed a lease agreement in front of Zhu Lingling, and the plane would soon go to the air show to pose, so she said so.

"That's a few bucks!" said Atletico disapprovingly. He is the owner of a business jet, not a taxi owner, and the plane is mainly used for himself and the company's top management, so he naturally can't make much money.

"Isn't there still advertising money!" poked the display screen with the bee logo next to her, Zhu Lingling said: "Bees have also earned a supplier status, so they won't suffer any losses." ”

Unlike the cockpit, which emphasizes functionality and safety, the layout of the rear crew compartment and the exterior paint scheme must fully respect the owner's wishes. When a customer orders a plane, the business jet company will come up with a thick stack of design plans for them to choose and solicit opinions, sometimes requiring several rounds of iteration before the final decision is finalized.

Atletico Madrid both have a knack for dirt buns, and they don't have a particular preference for artists and art styles, and their own appreciation is only average, but they just chose a set of exterior and interior solutions that look pleasing to the eye, and then specially added Chinese kitchen utensils, a larger children's room, and an on-board entertainment system.

The cutlery and children's room are naturally prepared for the four snacks, but the entertainment system is prepared for the bees, which is a little private goods.

"Advertising space worth 400 million, ask them if they are afraid?" asked the female assistant proudly, because her excited voice was not suppressed, and the person who had just come in heard a tail.

"What are you afraid of?" Roger, who was walking in front, asked curiously, "Ms. Zhu, is there anything that makes you uneasy?"

Zhu Lingling followed the other party's words and said: "We just talked about the parachute on the plane, and then we mentioned the parachute training, which made me a little worried. ”

None of the civil aircraft have parachutes because they are rarely used and not easy to use. However, the private jets of the rich are a different matter, and small aircraft manufacturers such as Cirrus have hyped up the parachute as a selling point, and it has indeed saved some lives. Large business jets are too heavy to fit an umbrella, so they can only think of other ways, such as the standard parachute in the cabin.

Of course, if you want to use them well, you have to learn how to skydive, otherwise it will be useless to leave them alone. When they first got their driver's license, Atletico completed their parachute training by the way, and the rest of them had to start from scratch.

"Haha, it's not a big deal!" the old man laughed heartily, "skydiving training is no different from other training, follow the rules and you'll soon fall in love with the sport!" The wind is whistling in your ears, the earth is changing from blurry to clear, getting closer, getting closer, the heart is beating faster and more excited, the feeling is wonderful and indescribable. ”

Pointing to himself, he said proudly: "I can learn to parachute as an old man, and I have to jump five or six times a year, and young people like you are even more fine!

Seeing that the female assistant was a little embarrassed, Atletico stood up and said, "By the way, we have a special ground training system, Roger, if you are not busy, you can go and see it later." ”

"No problem, gladly," the latter immediately agreed.

Gulfstream's annual output is only about 100 aircraft, and the orders are scheduled for the year after next, and one test flight is delivered to another, so he, the vice president in charge of sales, is naturally relatively idle. Besides, dealing with customers is also a serious part of my job.

Of course, he had another business to do before that, and although these journalist friends were unlikely to be able to afford his product, they had the opportunity to introduce it to possible buyers, so he still cherished this opportunity.

"But just wait, my priority now is to do a good job of explaining the plane and introducing it to all the ladies and gentlemen. ”

"Of course!" Atletico nodded, stepping aside.

Old Roger quickly switched states, pointed to the decoration of the bulkhead and the furniture, and talked about the material, origin, designer, maker, etc. of each door, every sofa, and every cup, enthusiastically selling the cultural meaning behind these decorative styles.

Even if this interior is just an ordinary modern home style, he can still say one, two, three, four or five in his mouth, and the reporters were stunned for a while. Originally, the furniture that looked ordinary and had good materials at most had such a tall background, and everyone couldn't help but be in awe. Looking around, it's obvious that I'm much more serious, trying to keep the scene in front of me in mind, whether it's as a show-off or a goal to work on in the future, it's always right to look at it more.

A good day must have a good reward, oh no, it is a good day and the beautiful scenery is fleeting, and soon everyone will complete the journey, leaving the plane with regret and reluctance, and going back to conceive the beautiful text.

Atletico and his entourage also left the airport and drove back to the bee farm off the island.

Then a transparent pillar several stories high appeared in front of him, and Roger pointed at it and said, "Ma Dong, this is your ground training system, which looks like an entertainment wind tunnel?"

"That's right," Atletico nodded.

"Or is there something different," the old man's eyes were good, "and its inner wall seems to be specially made?"
