Chapter 163 The elderly in business class

"Flights from Los Angeles to Albuquerque are about to depart, so please get to the gate quickly if you haven't boarded the flight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFlights from Los Angeles to Albuquerque are about to depart......"

After all, it was already evening, and there were not many passengers who would take this flight at this time, but a small plane with a size of 100 people had just been filled. Because it is a small plane, there is no high-end first-class cabin, and Alice only chooses two business positions, which already account for half of the capacity of the position.

Four seats, two in pairs, one set on the left and right sides of the cabin, the match is good, but the scale is really too small, after all, it is a small plane.

As soon as Flynn took his seat, he couldn't help but ask, "When did you get my Social Security card?"

"Isn't it difficult? Didn't your dad give it to me himself?

Seeing Flynn's mouth open even more stunned, Alice smiled and said, "Ah, by the way, you were so surprised at the time, of course you don't remember this kind of detail." But that's okay, I'll keep your security card and leave it to me for safekeeping. ”

As she gets older and has more and more juniors, Alice's bad taste can be considered stimulated. It's a really nice feeling to see a little kid being played around by himself all day long, and it's both surprised and adored.

In the economy class behind him, there was the sound of boarding passengers walking and putting their luggage everywhere, and in the business class at the nose, it was not until ten minutes before the boarding deadline that a third person finally walked in.

It was an old man in his sixties, but he still had black hair, only some of which had turned gray, and he obviously took care of himself a lot.

It's just that the old man is dressed a little strangely, jeans and jackets are nothing unusual, but it is incomprehensible to wear a baseball cap in the cabin.

The old man took a seat next to Alice and immediately called, "Flight attendant." ”

A blonde flight attendant immediately stepped out from behind the front curtain: "Hello, sir, do you need any service?"

"Pour me a glass of lemonade at about 70 degrees and two pieces of rock sugar. ”

"Yes sir, I'll be ready for you right away. ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, the old man nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Alice and Flynn on the other side, and then immediately took out a copy of the Washington Post from his briefcase and read it. And even more strange is that he held the newspaper so high that he almost covered half of his face.

"Strange old man. ”

Muttering this, Alice didn't pay much attention to it, and began to close her eyes and recuperate.

After a while, the plane was ready to take off, and seeing the airport moving outside the window, Flynn stared straight out the window, for fear of missing a single detail. I want to know that this must be the first time in his life that he has taken a plane, and anyone who experiences any first time can not be like him?

Alice looked funny: "There will be a lot of pressure when you take off and accelerate, hurry up and sit honestly, don't think that you will be fine with a seat belt, you will be very uncomfortable." ”

Flynn calmed down a little and asked, "Alice, do you fly a lot?"

Alice thought for a while: "It's okay, among my peers, not counting those high-end rich second generations who take travel as their daily life, the frequency of my flights is quite high." No, it should be very high. ”

On the other side of the aisle, the pages of the Washington Post straightened.

In just two hours, Flynn's curiosity had already been raised to its peak, and he had no intention of asking just one question and then finishing.

Speaking of which, apart from knowing that Alice has superpowers, he really doesn't know anything about this big sister. It's just that they met in the basement of that warehouse, and then someone went into a big rage, and then they were all taken away by the police.

"Alice, you're still a middle school student, aren't you? Always flying, don't you have to go to school?"

Alice smiled lightly, she looked out the window, the plane had already taken off, and after a moment of calm, it was time to step on the brakes and hit the accelerator.

"Of course, I have to go to school, but I have a lot of work to do on weekdays. ”

"Work!?"

As soon as Flynn's words fell, suddenly, a strong oppressive force suddenly rose!

"Ahh

Through the window, you can clearly hear the raging wind blowing around the airliner as it sprints into the sky!

One of the biggest differences between a small plane and a large plane is that it counteracts the oppressive force during takeoff, and Flynn, who has never even done an airplane, is only eight or nine years old.

Fortunately, this force came and went quickly, and before Flynn could actually faint, the plane was already rushing into the sky.

"Oh my God, my God......"

Seeing the boy's face so ugly, constantly muttering and panting, Alice was a little puzzled: "The last time you came to Los Angeles, wasn't it on a plane?"

"Oh my God...... It's not an airplane, it's a train. ”

What do you do by train?

Alice was stunned for a moment, but she understood immediately.

Compared to any other country, the United States has an aviation industry that is second to none, and it is so developed that it has even produced many jokes. For example, the most typical is that students who do not learn well in geography class even think that Australia and the United States share a border and can be reached directly by car.

Yes, if you take a plane, no matter where you go from, you just look at the destination, no matter where you pass in between. Unlike Chinese trains, Spring Festival and student waves, passengers are familiar with which lines pass through those cities, and even take advantage of them to travel together, or constantly study route combinations to save time and fares.

Therefore, based on the developed aviation industry, the main function of passenger rail transportation in the United States is by no means passenger transportation, but tourism as the main project. The high-quality service to restaurants and bars, the slow speed, and the long journey from east to west are indeed very suitable for family sightseeing.

For a young boy who has just "escaped from the sea of suffering", it is not surprising that the police will arrange a scenic trip from New Mexico to California on the railroad.

In a few moments, the plane was already flying safely in the stratosphere, and it would take less than two hours to reach its destination. Alice stretched lazily as the flight attendant reappeared in the cabin and asked what they wanted for dinner.

"Set B, what about you, Flynn?"

"A package. ”

When asked what the old man was, the other party put down the newspaper: "I also want a B set." ”

With that, the Washington Post covered his face again, and before that, Alice glanced at the page the old man was looking at, a news story about the House of Representatives passing a certain law.

With nothing to do, Flynn began to ask again: "Alice, you just said that you have a lot of careers, what are they?"

Well, showing off in front of a little kid is quite fulfilling.

Alice grinned, "You mean me flying." Actually, it's nothing, if you want to talk about where I go the most, I have a large IT company in San Jose and need to fly in from time to time to take care of something. What about other places...... I've flown in Seattle five or six times in a year, which is much less frequent than going to San Jose. ”

As she spoke, she didn't forget to glance at the old man reading the newspaper again.

She didn't know who the old man was, but he certainly wasn't paying attention to the newspaper right now, and Alice was sure.

"You're thirteen or fourteen, aren't you?"

As expected, Flynn was surprised: "How did you become the boss of a big company?"

Alice glanced at the old man again, and he still seemed to be fascinated, as for the Washington Post, it happened to have news about then-President Ronald Reagan printed on its cover. Obviously, this issue of the newspaper is really worth buying.

"Well...... Ever heard of technology stakes?"

After saying this, Alice smiled lightly.

In fact, from the first sentence, her voice was very low, and she had a posture of whispering: "Okay, I know that you definitely don't understand." Technology shareholding means that you have a very key technology in your hands, and if this technology is important to a company, you can enjoy a certain stake in the company by virtue of it...... It's a certain status, understand?"

As the so-called elders love to preach to the juniors, seeing that Flynn nodded in understanding, Alice also aroused such an interest. She hunched slightly, leaned her head in front of Flynn, and whispered.

"I'll tell you, Flynn, I'm in charge of the router. You know, it's a great technology, and as long as I have the patent in hand, I can use it to join a related company. In other words, even if I don't have to pay a penny, I am a pure poor egg, but as long as the technology is advanced and valuable, I can even set up a company, as long as I use the technology to ask venture capitalists for money. ”

"So, naturally, I chose to start my own business, and the company is located in San Jose. Oh, busy, after all, the business is expanding very quickly......"

Despite Alice's rambling, Flynn just stared at her blankly.

At this point in the topic, where can he understand?

Don't say that Alice is speaking English now, professional vocabulary is professional vocabulary, and if you don't understand it, you can't understand it. Even if she is now in Chinese, saying this to a Chinese eight- or nine-year-old boy in the 21st century, what technology is invested, what venture capital, or even what router, who can understand?

Therefore, this pretended whispered conversation was not for Flynn at all.

Sure enough, before Alice finished speaking, the old man, who had been covering his face with a newspaper, finally spoke.

"Little girl, the things you just said are not something he can understand. ”

The old man put down the newspaper and looked at Alice with a smile. Although the brim of the baseball cap covers half of his face, it can also be seen that this is a man from the upper class. Although those eyes exuded kindness, Alice felt clearly, and he was constantly looking at himself.

"However, I don't know if you are interested, how about having a good chat with me, an old man?" (To be continued.) )
