Chapter Ninety-Seven: Buying a Helicopter

After Yu You's mood was adjusted, he thought that the You Long still had a period of time to be delivered, and the deck was deliberately designed to be much wider in this ship, mainly to park the helicopter! There are many unexpected situations on the sea, and there is no doubt that helicopters can play an extremely important role.

If it is an ordinary helicopter of hundreds of thousands, not only the endurance is poor, the ability to withstand the influence of weather such as air currents is weak, and it is easy to crash if you want to fly in the vast sea, so this kind of helicopter driven by hundreds of thousands of novice pilots is not suitable for the changeable ocean flight, and the requirements of the weather are more dependent.

Generally speaking, cheap is not good, good goods are not cheap, especially in this kind of high-end luxury, you get what you pay for, and the so-called cost-effective is only relative.

I decided to buy a Bell 210 helicopter with a cruising speed of up to 196 kilometers per hour, a range of 416 kilometers, a lifting capacity of up to 5,084 kilograms, and an 8-seater helicopter that can carry more people and goods.

The price is still relatively high, reaching 55.64 million, which makes Yu You hesitate.

Of course, to buy such an expensive helicopter, Yu You still has to consult Li Amao, who currently has a pilot license in Yu You's company, and he has piloted military helicopters.

Yu You called Li Amao and asked, "Amao, what type of helicopter have you flown before?" ”

"The Z-5 and Z-8 have been driven, and now the Z-5 has been retired." Li Amao replied.

Seeing that he was so calm, Yu You couldn't help but say: "If you drive a Bell 210, will you be able to adapt to it?" ”

"There shouldn't be much of a problem, it's a big deal to master it after a few weeks of training with Bell, this type of helicopter is a deleted version of the Yankee military, and the range of application is quite wide, and the load and people are very large." Li Amao apparently also knew about the Bell 210.

"Okay, let's go to the United States and try the Bell 210 when the time comes." Yu You thought that if he bought a helicopter in the future, in addition to Li Amao being able to fly, he would also have to train a few licensed pilots as backups, of course, Yu You also wanted to learn to fly a helicopter, and when the time came, he might even have to buy a big guy like a private jet.

After chatting with Li Amao about some performance issues of the Bell 210, Yu You began to think about what to do if he bought it? Although it is assigned to the Youlong as a carrier-based helicopter, it can't always be left like this in normal times, right? And docking on the deck is susceptible to corrosion by seawater, which is not a long-term solution!

Who will pay for maintenance and aviation kerosene? It's been consuming and raising like this.,It's not quite in line with Yu You's personality.。

"I bought the helicopter back, and it was also a problem that I didn't have a place to fly." Although Yu You can fly at low altitude at sea, but most of the time if you want to fly on the coast or domestically, the restrictions are still quite large, if you don't have connections in this area, the Bell-210 bought by Yu You is a decoration!

Yu You thought of Song Jiankai, I heard that he seems to have several helicopters, all kinds of models, he is an expert in this regard.

"Brother Song? Yes, I'm less than, there's one thing you can ask me for, well, then I'll drive to you. Song Jiankai's exclusive office on the top floor of the Binhai Hotel, this building seems to belong to him.

Yu You called Li Bai and drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom to the Binhai Hotel, the top floor is 88 floors, Song Jiankai's office, this floor is exclusive to Song Jiankai, there is a huge indoor golf course on it, and Song Jiankai, who is idle, will play a few shots.

"Less, isn't it a bar to find me? I've learned how much you drink. As soon as Song Jiankai swung his club, the golf ball drew a graceful arc and scored a hole-in-one skillfully.

"Brother Song is very good!" Yu You sincerely admired that Song Jiankai was also on the rise, and it was quite rare for him to get a hole-in-one.

With this as a foreshadowing, what Yu You was going to say next came naturally.

"Brother Song, I came to you today, I do have something to ask for, I know how many helicopters you have, so I want to ask, approve the take-off route or something, is it troublesome?" Yu You is more concerned about this, if you have to report every time the helicopter takes off, and wait for a few months, then it is useful to buy a helicopter, and it is better to spend this money elsewhere.

Song Jiankai heard that Yu You came to buy a helicopter this time to listen to the restrictive provisions in China in this regard, without saying a word, he took Yu You to the helicopter take-off and landing point on the top floor, pointed to a helicopter with millions of dollars and said: "Less, this is a helicopter that I often use, model Rotway A600, that is, millions of helicopters." ”

"Oh, Brother Song definitely doesn't use helicopters often, so buy this model." Yu You doesn't dare to say that he bought a Bell 210 now, even a tycoon like Song Jiankai just buys a helicopter of millions of dollars, isn't it a slap in the face to get a 50 million Bell 210 by himself?

Thinking about whether to reduce the amount of money for the purchase of helicopters? 50 million is still too extravagant, and this matter needs to be discussed in the United States on the spot.

Song Jiankai took out his mobile phone, made a call, and after saying a few words, he got directly into the helicopter and said, "Less, come up, I'll take you to the coastal sky for a ride." ”

"Huh? Brother Song, flying so casually, won't you be fined? Yu You still has some scruples, after all, this is domestic, not foreign, and helicopters can't fly casually.

"Haha, don't worry, I've already registered, and I have a pilot's license." Song Jiankai said proudly, as if he was interested in flying.

"Isn't it, just a phone call?" Yu You secretly pondered for a while, maybe Song Jiankai had an acquaintance in reporting for the flight? Or is the reporting procedure not as complicated as you imagined?

"Indeed, now there are more and more wealthy people in China, and there are no longer a few people who own private jets and helicopters. Yu You thought of this, and was sure that if the low-altitude flight restriction is not too big, it is still very useful to buy a helicopter, and many times in the sea, it is much more convenient to use a helicopter to rescue and deal with some emergencies.

"So what do you think?" Song Jiankai said with interest, pulled Yu You to the co-pilot's seat, the two put on headphones, Song Jiankai skillfully operated, with the high-speed rotation of the propeller, Rotway A600 took off! Inside the aircraft, communication is carried out through headsets, which is good for protecting the ears, after all, the propeller is very noisy in the air.

"How does it feel?" Song Jiankai looked at Yu You, who had not yet come back to his senses, Rotway A600 took off to a height of 100 meters, Yu You looked at Binhai City from this direction for the first time, the skyscrapers in the forest have become smaller at the moment, the modern city built of steel is full of modern beauty, and the traffic of different colors is like a river, flowing from different streets to another street, and the crowd is basically the size of a grain of rice.

"It's very exciting, it seems that I will also learn to fly a plane in the future......" Yu You thought that in the future, not only will he have to build a helicopter, but also a business private jet, and if he does go abroad more in the future, buying a private jet will be on the agenda.

"Usually when the mood is depressed, I will always fly around the coast, and the mood will be very happy, by the way, in the future, when you buy a helicopter, the matter of approval will be handed over to me, in a word, now that the low-altitude flight is released, the approval is still quite simple." This is for Song Jiankai, and the ordinary people in Pingtou really can't report for the flight smoothly.

"Thank you, Brother Song." With Song Jiankai's help in handling the approval review and some formalities for low-altitude flights, Yu You's plan to buy a helicopter would not die halfway.

After flying into the sky for about half an hour, Song Jiankai planned to return to the air, and the alarm sounded.

"What's the situation?" Yu You thought that there was some flight failure in the Rotway A600, and he was very nervous and said, people are very helpless at high altitude, no matter who it is! Once the consequences of the crash are unimaginable, although there is a parachute in the helicopter, Yu You will not use it, and it is a low-altitude flight, leaving Song Jiankai and Yu You very little reaction time, and they collided with the plane before they could parachute.

Song Jiankai hurriedly comforted Yu You and said, "It's not a big problem, I was just happy just now, and I didn't look at the amount of oil......

"Wouldn't it? Brother Song, is the amount of fuel enough to return to the take-off and landing platform? Yu You couldn't help but look at the location he was in now, it seemed to be far away from the Binhai Hotel in the city.

Song Jiankai's eyes were sharp, he saw a gas station, pointed to the huge red steel roof and said, "Let's refuel here!" ”

"Huh?" Yu You was puzzled and a little confused, isn't this the place to refuel the car? No. 0 diesel and No. 97 gasoline?

Now the top priority is to park the helicopter, Song Jiankai slowly circled at the gas station, and after the staff knew his intention, they consciously reserved an open space for the Rotway A600 to land.

After arriving at the gas station safely, Song Jiankai took out a gas card, skillfully entered the password and picked up the gun to refuel, ignoring the onlookers and photos of the surrounding crowd.

Helicopter gasoline? This makes Yu You speechless, isn't it aviation kerosene? In fact, the Rotway A600 can be added with 97 gasoline, which is also one of the main cost-effectiveness of the Rotway A600.

Compared with the Rolls-Royce Phantom worth 10 million to refuel and a Rotway A600 worth 1 million, the sensational effect caused by it is of course the latter, after all, few people have helicopters in China, which is also due to the fact that the low-altitude flight development civilian policy is not long ago, many people do not understand this policy, and are more or less delayed, the approval is delayed, so the low-altitude flight civilian, has not been completely popularized, are a few rich people play.

It is precisely in this way that driving a helicopter to refuel gasoline will indeed become a hot topic.

Song Jiankai is not surprised by this, and the purchase of Rotway A600 is also based on the fact that he adds the commonly used No. 97 gasoline, not aviation kerosene.

You must know that aviation kerosene is controlled by the state, and if you want to buy this kind of oil, you can only go to the airline, and it doesn't matter that you can't buy it.
