The Jaguar series can have more than 20 seats, and the price is as high as more than 10 million pounds, although it is very large and luxurious, and the price Li Han can afford, but he really doesn't need to buy such a big one. Agust 139, the maximum passenger capacity of 15 people, the size is appropriate, but the cost performance is not high, the price is close to 10 million pounds, to buy this, it is better to add some money to buy a jaguar.

Bell 212 is quite suitable in terms of price and passenger capacity, 15 seats, the price of more than five million pounds, that is, the age of this model is relatively old, Li Han does not understand high-tech, I don't know how to helicopters. However, from the perspective of electrical appliances and digital products, I always feel that high-tech is rapidly updated, and things that are old give people a very backward feeling.

Not to mention the rice series, although it is an old helicopter, it is really too old and expensive, at least it is very impractical for Li Han. The Mi-8 costs more than five million pounds and has 24 seats, but it was put into production in '64. The Mi-171 costs around seven million pounds, and the navigation system is very rudimentary. The Mi-26 was not bad, but it had 82 seats and cost £20 million, so he didn't need it at all.

Looking at it, Li Han finally turned his attention to the helicopter produced by Huangguo. With the same configuration and passenger capacity, the price of a domestic helicopter is at least a third cheaper than that produced in Europe and the United States. And in terms of safety performance, domestic helicopters are not worse than those in Europe and the United States.

In the end, Li Han took a fancy to two aircraft, one is EC175, which has 2+16 seats and a maximum range of 1120 kilometers, which is jointly developed by Huangguo and France. The price is about 50 million RMB, which is slightly higher than that of a domestic helicopter. But the technology and safety can be compared with those helicopters in Europe and the United States that cost tens of millions of pounds.

The other is AC313, priced at about 80 million RMB, but it has as many as 27 seats, the appearance is clumsy and cute, and the requirements for take-off and landing are not high, even in the mountains, you can come and go freely.

Li Han compared the pictures of the two models for a long time, and finally decided to order an EC175, and he found that the windows of the EC175 were much larger than those of the AC313, and the range was slightly longer. As for the seats, 16 seats are enough. 27 seats is a complete waste. Helicopters also fly over the UK. It doesn't take much space.

Although the helicopter does not require half a year, a year or even two years of waiting time like a cruise ship, it cannot be bought back directly, at least two or three months. Li Han himself made an appointment for helicopter pilot training. Although wait for the helicopter to buy it back. He will hire two drivers. But he hopes to be able to fly the helicopter himself when he needs to, which is convenient.

Helicopter pilot training takes at least three or four months, and maybe even longer. The training course is divided into two phases: ground theory and sky operation. 50 hours each. It is a one-on-one teaching, and the in-flight class is also to ensure that one student can correspond to a helicopter. Although the fee is a little expensive, there is no need to wait and wait, and a helicopter will definitely be vacated during this time period after making an appointment for the boarding time.

Theory classes are really not interesting, and you can only memorize them by rote. Fortunately, Li Han has a good memory since he was a child, probably because he memorized soup songs and memorized prescriptions as soon as he learned to speak.

Less than ten hours into class, Christmas arrived. This is Li Han's third Christmas in the UK, the first Christmas and New Year was spent at 76 Witfield Street, and his friends were afraid that he would be too lonely alone, so they came to accompany him. The following year, he was invited by Benedict to his parents' house, and also participated in their family trip, going to Bath for a hot spring.

And this year, Li Han doesn't need to worry about his friends not being able to go home for reunion, and he doesn't need to go to other people's homes for Christmas. He will be heading to Windermere this year to spend this long family reunion vacation with his fiancée and future father-in-law at Reims Manor.

The British love to travel with their families during this holiday season, and Benedict's parents, who were old enough to go to Bath last year, don't know what the Earl of Reims is going to do. He is a junior anyway, so he naturally listens to his father-in-law.

On December 23, Li Han drove to Oxford to pick up Lydia and then went straight back to Windermere. The Reims Manor has been lit up with lights, and a Christmas tree at least three meters high is placed on the left and right of the fountain in front of the door, with twinkling lights and colorful knick-knacks hanging from the tree.

Wood waited at the door as usual, helping them open the door and pick up their luggage. The car was parked in the garage by its own, and Li Han and Lydia were courteously accompanied into the house by Wood. They took off their coats and handed them to the men beside them, and met the Count of Reims, who was waiting in the hall.

In the past, although the Earl of Reims was not arrogant or cold to Li Han, he was also polite and detached, even if he had saved the Earl twice. And now that they were about to become a family, it was only then that the Count of Reims showed his fatherly side to him.

Not only did he greet him in the hall himself, but he also had a doting smile on his face—of course, to Lydia—who kept shushing and asking, "Have you had lunch?" It's so cold outside, do you need to turn up the heat? I've got two more Chinese chefs, so you can order whatever you want......"

The nagging and nagging drove away the estrangement in Li Han's heart. He has a cold relationship with his parents, and if he can have a good relationship with his father-in-law, he is still very willing. Don't say anything about feeling father's love, it's a bit too, it's for Lydia, and the two men who love Lydia the most should also get along well.

It's just that their plan to have a good Christmas still fell through, and that night, Li Han suddenly received a call from Tom, who brought a bad news: "Cold, Gavin has an accident!" ”

Li Han was playing a game, and as soon as he heard this, he stood up, subconsciously walked to the window and pushed it open, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tom's voice was painful: "Didn't you lend some jewelry to Gavin's crew?" After running out of jewelry yesterday, Gavin stayed as usual to do the work of counting and storing it in the safe. As a result, this morning, they found Gavin killed in front of the safe, and all the jewels were missing. ”

Li Han only felt a "boom" in his ears, his brain was blank, and he was completely confused: "Gavin is dead?" Is it because the jewels were killed? ”

"Cold, it's not your ...... to blame"

"Where is he now? What do the police in France say? I'm going to see him......"

"He's still in Metz, there hasn't been any progress on the case yet, his housekeeper has passed, I'm going to ...... tomorrow"

"I'm going to charter a private jet right now," Li Han said, "I'm going to see Gavin." (To be continued......)
