Prince Assoud's Airbus A380 is known as the "Flying Palace", and the name suggests how huge and extravagant the plane was, with a price of more than $500 million and an interior that is more luxurious than the US President's Air Force One.

"Hello, Mr. Anthony, Mr. Bowen, ladies and gentlemen. Prince Asoud greeted them first, and then introduced to them: "This is Mr. Tang Mingtang, the owner of the Australian Alpine Ranch, and this is Mrs. Tang." ”

"Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang, hello, my name is Anthony, I am the Executive Vice President of Airbus Model Projects, and I would like to welcome you to visit us at Airbus. ”

"Hello, Mr. Anthony, thank you for your greeting. ”

"Hello, Mr. Anthony. ”

"Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang, my name is Bowen, I am the Executive Vice President of Asset Management at Airbus, Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang, it is a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Hello, Mr. Bowen, I'm glad to meet you. ”

"Hello, Mr. Bowen. ”

Tang Ming and Cornelia shook hands with them respectively and exchanged a few more pleasantries.

They had all heard of Tang Ming's name during this time, and they were very enthusiastic about him, apparently treating him as a potential customer of Airbus.

Prince Assoud said: "Mr. Anthony, Mr. Bowen, Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang have never been to Airbus, let's take Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang to visit the Airbus headquarters first, and then go to see the plane." ”

Anthony said, "Okay, no problem, please come with me." ”

"I'm sorry everyone. Tang Ming said politely, took Cornelia's hand and followed behind them, and toured the Airbus factory.

They first looked at the SAS headquarters, then the training center and the R&D center, then went to the assembly shop, first to the assembly hall of the A320 and A350, and finally to the assembly hall of the A380.

Compared to the A320 and A350 assembly workshop, the A380 assembly workshop is larger and more spacious, and can completely fit the huge A380, where there are many huge aircraft parts, and in the center of the assembly workshop there is a painted A380, and they walked towards the plane.

Coming under the plane, Prince Asoud said, "Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang, let's go in and have a look." ”

Tang Ming felt very surprised, this is the headquarters of Airbus, Anthony and Bowen are the landlords, they haven't spoken yet, but Prince Asoud spoke first, which makes people feel a little weird, but after thinking about it, he already has a guess in his heart, and asked: "Your Royal Highness, is this your plane?"

"This isn't my plane. Prince Asoud smiled and shook his head, "However, this plane was bought by my uncle and will be delivered soon, so he entrusted me to come and have a look." ”

There are very many members of the Saudi royal family, there are tens of thousands of people, and there are five or six thousand princes, and Prince Asoud naturally has many uncles, but Prince Asoud is the top figure in the Saudi royal family, and there are not many people who are qualified to entrust him with things, so Tang Ming thought about it, thought of Saudi King Salman, and asked: "This is the plane that His Majesty the King bought?"

"Yes, this is the plane that Uncle Salman bought. Prince Asoud nodded, "Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang, let's go inside and have a look." ”

"Good. Tang Ming nodded.

At this time, he was already interested in this plane, since Prince Asoud could buy a flying palace, then Salman, who was the king of Saudi Arabia, would naturally buy a plane no worse than Prince Asoud.

The result did not disappoint Tang Ming, as soon as he got on the plane, he was dazzled by a burst of golden light, and when he looked up, the cabin was full of golden brilliance, very Middle Eastern style.

"The decoration of this plane is very extravagant, hundreds of kilograms of gold are used, and gold leaf is pasted in many places inside the aircraft, such as spiral staircase handrails, toilet seats and so on," Anthony said. ”

Hearing this, Tang Ming had to be convinced, this is called a real local tyrant!

Asoud said, "Anthony, you can show us around. ”

"Okay, let's go to the lower level first. Anthony and Bowen showed them around.

Spread over three floors and the size of three tennis courts, the aircraft boasts four luxury suites, a meeting room, a cinema, a recreation room, a steam room, a garage and a stable.

The aircraft is also equipped with an elevator that provides direct access to the ground floor apron, which can be used to traverse the aircraft's three floors via an elevator or a golden spiral staircase.

Despite the Superyacht Queen Cornelia, the plane was still very shocking, and his Gulfstream G650 was like a toy plane compared to this plane.

According to Anthony, the plane cost more than $700 million, which is enough to buy two Queen Cornelia superyachts.

After visiting the plane, they were sitting in the bar, drinking and chatting, and Asoud suddenly said: "Mr. Tang, in fact, Uncle Salman also entrusted me with something related to Mr. Tang. ”

"It's coming. Tang Ming thought to himself, he had been waiting for Asud to bring up this topic, and he already had a way to deal with it in his heart, and asked calmly: "Oh, what is it?"

"Uncle Salman wanted to give this plane to Mr. Tang," Assoud said. ”

After listening to his words, Tang Ming was so surprised that he almost squirted out the wine in his mouth.

What Asoud said was completely different from what he expected, he originally thought that Asoud would propose that Saudi Arabia would buy Po Ding grass, but he didn't expect to say that he would give him this plane, which is simply unrelated.

Tang Ming hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't hear it clearly just now, can you say it again?"

Cornelia, Anthony, and Bowen were also very surprised, suspecting that they had misheard.

Asoud said: "Mr. Tang, Uncle Salman wants to give you this plane, and our Kingdom wants to make a friend with Mr. Tang, and I hope Mr. Tang will not refuse." ”

"No, it's too expensive for me to accept. Tang Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and refused.

Although he liked the plane very much, he would not accept such a valuable thing easily.

Asoud said: "Don't misunderstand Mr. Tang, we in Saudi Arabia have no other meaning, we really want to make friends with Mr. Tang." ”

"I'm sorry, I really can't accept it, I know what His Majesty means, I will seriously consider whether to add Saudi Arabia to the second supply list, but I can't accept such a valuable gift. Tang Ming refused again. (To be continued.) )
