Chapter 756 Private Jets

……

Although Liu Dong does not have a single plane in his hands now, Del. Roosevelt's words gave him a wake-up call.

Although collecting more artworks and rebuilding the Old Summer Palace is his ultimate goal, he must not forget to enjoy life while achieving this goal.

And now the Civil Aviation Administration of China has allowed private jets to appear in 96 years, and although there are not many people in China who have private jets, there are hundreds of passenger planes and helicopters, so as long as Liu Dong is willing, it is not difficult to own an aircraft with his current financial resources.

In addition, after experiencing the 9/11 hijacking, although Liu Dong was safe and sound in the end, and also discovered the holy city of Aztec civilization 'Aztlan', and obtained a large number of precious artworks, which can be described as a blessing in disguise, but this kind of life is not led by himself Liu Dong definitely does not want to have a next time.

Thinking of this, Liu Dong had an idea in his heart!

"Liu, as far as I know, you rich people in China who own private jets are not nothing, with your current net worth, you can buy one, even if you Chinese believe in the birth philosophy of 'moderation', but traveling with your own plane, it is undoubtedly much safer, unless you still want to experience 9.11, although the probability is very low!" Bender. Roosevelt said.

After nodding, Liu Dong said: "Del, what you said is very right, maybe I should have a plane of my own!" ”

"Hehe, that's right, and now the aviation industry in the United States, and even the whole world, is in a significant depression because of 9.11, so whether it's Boeing. Or Airbus is facing layoffs. At this time, the price of our order is definitely the lowest in history! And you can also enjoy the most thoughtful service! ”

"I know. But I'm not familiar with the U.S., so I'm going to need your help with this! Liu Dongdao.

"Don't worry, this matter is on me, and it just so happens that I am also going to order a private jet, and the two of us will be together at that time!"

Saying, Del. Roosevelt had already taken Liu Dong and Ivanka into the helicopter, and let the man in black, who was both a bodyguard and a helicopter pilot, drive it towards the suburbs of New York City.

Like most rich Americans. Bender. Although Roosevelt had an apartment in the New York City area, it was only an investment and an occasional depository, and he lived mainly on his estate on Long Island, New York!

The manor is not too big, plus the front and back gardens, and the three-story villa building in the middle, the total area is about 2,000 square meters.

Compared with the high-rise New York City, almost all of them are villas and estates, with a quiet environment and fresh air. Very much for Liu Dong's appetite.

noticed that after Liu Dong got off the plane, he kept looking at his small villa. Bender. Roosevelt couldn't help but laugh and said, "Liu, if you like it, why don't you buy a villa on Long Island, anyway, you don't have your own house in New York." Moreover, the villas in the Long Island District have a beautiful environment, which has become more and more popular with the wealthy class in New York, and has the potential to appreciate. It's a good investment! ”

Liu Dong has this idea to buy a house in New York, after all, this is the economic and financial center of the United States, and it is a matter of time before his enterprises develop and enter the United States. And Ivanka. Trump's family is also in New York, and he will definitely come here more often in the future.

However, Liu Dong did not plan to buy a house in the Long Island District, although the environment is good, but it is still a little far from the city center.

Therefore, the vicinity of Central Park is the most ideal choice, although the environment there is not as good as that of Long Island District, but Liu Dong is not a permanent resident, as a temporary residence, the vicinity of Central Park is enough, and the transportation is also convenient, and it is close to the offices of various world-class companies!

"I'm not in a hurry to buy a house in advance, I'd better see how much money is left after buying the plane, after all, I have to participate in the auction next, and I can't play with less money!" Liu Dongdao.

Bender. Roosevelt was a good person in politics for a long time, so he naturally understood Liu Dong's prevarication, so he smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Let's go, Liu! My family is out to greet you! ”

Follow Del. Roosevelt's eyes, Liu Dong also noticed a few men and women of all ages who came out of the back door at this moment.

After a few people walked over, Del. Roosevelt was already smiling and said, "Come, let me introduce you, this is my lover Kana!" ”

Looking at the old lady in front of him who was wearing a red plaid dress, although her face was old, but her temperament was noble, Liu Dong hurriedly stretched out her right hand, "Hello! ”

"Kana, this is the Liu Dong I told you before, he was the one who saved me on the plane!" Bender. Roosevelt said.

"Mr. Liu Dong, thank you for being able to save my husband!" The old lady said gratefully.

"Ma'am, you're so gracious! In the circumstances, those were what I should have done! ”

Liu Dong's humility undoubtedly won the favor of Roosevelt's family even more.

Subsequently, Del. Roosevelt introduced Liu Dong to his two sons and a daughter. In addition, he has two other daughters, but because they are not in New York, only these three can let Liu Dong know today.

Perhaps to thank Liu Dong for saving his life, the Roosevelts prepared a sumptuous lunch to entertain Liu Dong and Ivanka!

After lunch, Ivanka chatted with Roosevelt's family, and then Liu Dong walked into Del. Roosevelt's study.

"Liu, what type of private jet do you want?"

"I don't know much about this, but you know that I live in China, and if I fly to and from the United States, I will definitely need a long-range plane!"

After nodding, Del. Roosevelt took down a stack of materials from the bookshelf next to him and handed it to Liu Dongdao: "This is some of the information I have collected on private jets during this time, can you see which one you like?" ”

But from Del. After Roosevelt took the information in his hand and read it again, Liu Dong's brows furrowed.

Although the planes above were good, he was a little dissatisfied.

The Dassault Falcon 900 looks good, but not only is it slow, but the range is too short!

Other Embraer Legacy 650, as well as the most popular private jet Gulfstream G650, although the speed is not slow, the range is as high as 7,000 kilometers, but in Liu Dong's view, it is still insufficient, after all, it is more than 10,000 kilometers from Beijing to Los Angeles, which means that Liu Dong will come to the United States to refuel in Hawaii, which will undoubtedly delay an hour or two, and as a medium-sized aircraft, there are too few passengers on board.

As for the Boeing 747, the range is enough, but the speed is too slow, and the plane that Liu Dong took in an accident last time was the Boeing 747, although Liu Dong is not so feudal, but he is not willing to let him buy a plane that has fallen down.

"What? Nothing satisfying? After noticing the expression on Liu Dong's face, Del. Roosevelt asked.

"Well, the main reason is that the range is not enough, from the capital of China across the Pacific Ocean to Los Angeles, if you don't stop in between, at least a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, the only aircraft that can meet this requirement are Boeing 747 and Airbus A319 business jets! But it's still too slow! ”

After a pause, Liu Dong raised his head and continued: "Del, is there a supersonic passenger plane?" ”

"Yes, both the Concorde and the Tu-144 of the former Soviet Union are supersonic passenger aircraft, but Liu, neither aircraft has a range of more than 6,000 kilometers, and it is very noisy, and many airports refuse to take and land supersonic passenger aircraft! So if you want to buy a supersonic private jet, I'm afraid it won't be possible in a decade or two! "Del. Roosevelt said.

Hearing this, Liu Dong could only give up his extravagant hopes after nodding!

"Then I'd better order an Airbus A319 business jet!"

Although the Airbus A319 business jet is only a medium-sized passenger aircraft, it has additional fuel tanks between the cargo compartments, so that it can reach a range of 6,500 nautical miles (12,000 kilometers) with 25 people, and there are also luxury suites, sofa seats, bars and other facilities inside.

In addition, the A319CJ can fly at a maximum altitude of 12,500 and reach a cruise speed of Mach 0.82. And the cost is only $36 million. In addition to the speed handicap, the others can fully meet Liu Dong's requirements.
