Just a few words of casual persuasion, Long Yun didn't take this kind of thing to heart.

Subconsciously, he felt that the entertainment news was just rumors and would not have much impact on their lives. As for what kind of Cheng dù will ferment in the future, of course, he still doesn't know anything about it.

The next morning, Shangguan Ling was sent to the company as usual, and Long Yun received a call from Liu Wei, and the two of them went to the "Sonic Speed" team to talk about leasing fighters.

On the phone, Liu Wei told him that he had looked at some of the team's situation on the Internet last night; Although he is not an official team member, he has no access to the detailed information of equipment and equipment, but from the existing information, it is speculated that there are a lot of planes in this team, and the purchase of fighters has been more frequent in recent years, so there are many old planes that have been returned and replaced for lease.

So, their first goal today is here, hoping to achieve something; Not to mention how advanced the model is, at least you can ask about the market.

"Oh, Brother Long, look," on the rather crowded subway, Liu Wei held the computer in his hand, pointing and introducing the situation he analyzed: "'Sonic 'has bought a lot of new planes in the past two years, and the models that have been replaced are relatively new, and we can't afford to rent them." At present, it seems that those that can be rented are those that are relatively cheap and outdated; Although the performance is really not very good, I have to make do with it first. ”

Long Yun looked at the pictures on the homepage, and responded with a few "En'en".

The start-up capital of 2 million, in addition to the expenses such as registration, venues, and the salaries of the necessary ground crews, also has to set aside a part of the purchase of fuel, spare parts, and missiles for competition, which is indeed very tight. According to the cheapest FC-1 "Thunder" among the third-generation fighters, the monthly rent is nearly one million yuan, which is still a quotation for strictly controlling the number of flight hours; If you open the flight, the price will increase significantly after the number of hours.

If they are used to compete like this, they may not be able to compete in the group stage, and they will become destitute.

"So, what models are available for rent now?"

"It looks like a lot,......," Liu Wei scrolled up and down the screen to browse, "but some of them can only be provided to enthusiasts for experience flights; If you want to talk about long-term rental, then you have to go to the team and ask for clarification. ”

came to the "Sonic Speed" team, after Liu Wei got out of the car, he pulled Long Yun to the office area, but turned around a few times but did not find anyone; Liu Wei knew that the captain of this team was generally not there, and it was usually the deputy Liu team they had met before who was taking care of him, and the two of them asked to know that he was in the training ground, responsible for coordinating the pre-game preparations of the players.

Unlike many teams, the vice-captain of "Sonic Speed" is also a competitive player, but his level is obviously not enough to participate in the IFT qualifiers; When they came to the track of the training ground in the blazing sun, under the parasol, they saw Team Deputy Liu, who was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, holding a fan and shaking constantly.

took a few steps forward to greet him respectfully, and Liu Wei briefly explained to him their intentions.

"Huh? Do you want to form a team too? It can be seen that the words from the mouth of the person who cleaned before made Deputy Liu quite surprised; He tugged at the brim of his visor, as if to take another look at the two young men in front of him.

"There are fighters in the team that can be rented. But...... Do you really want to team up and go to the competition? ”

"It's all about participation, hehe!" Liu Wei's expression was as hearty as ever, "If you don't try, how do you know if it works, just ask Team Deputy Liu!" ”

"But I can't get out of it now, or you go to Song Cheng. Just say that you want to rent a fighter plane and let him take you to see it. ”

Simply sent them away, and Team Deputy Liu was immersed in the analysis form in his hand again, and no longer bothered with them.

With these words, Liu Wei took Long Yun back to the team office and found Song Cheng, who was in charge of team affairs. On the way, Liu Wei didn't say much, just told Long Yun Song Cheng that he didn't talk much, and his temper was a little weird; A nervous person like Long Yun didn't care much, but was thinking about what model to rent.

When the group of three came to the hangar, Long Yun felt that this humble building behind the official hangar was quite hot now.

Unlike the official hangar where the fighter planes are parked, the air-conditioning, dehumidification, and other facilities here are not complete, and it is difficult to provide good maintenance conditions for the fire control and control systems of the fighters in the hot weather of Beijing in August. However, as Liu Wei said, these fighters are mainly leased by intermediary companies to experience the fun of flying, and naturally there is no need for a fire control system.

"That's about it, you can take a look." Coming from the cool air-conditioned room to this somewhat messy hangar, Song Cheng obviously didn't have a good temper, he hid in the closest place to the air-conditioner, and waved his hand to let them see for themselves.

Seeing his attitude, Liu Wei pursed his lips slightly with some dissatisfaction; Long Yun didn't pay much attention, but was attracted by the warplanes parked in the hangar.

After a few glances, he felt that "Sonic Speed" was indeed a fairly large team.

Not to mention anything else, there are more than a dozen idle fighters parked in the huge hangar of this factory alone. Walking between these metal bodies that once galloped in the blue sky, he also saw relatively advanced models such as the Mirage 2000 and J-8II; These aircraft may even be used for small teams in competitions, but here they have completed their mission and spent their old age in such a lonely place.

took a turn with Liu Wei, although they saw a lot of models, but both of them were a little hesitant. Long Yun knew that Liu Wei's thoughts were the same as his, there were all kinds of planes in it, but there were really no very cheap ones, and they might not be able to afford to rent them with their current financial resources.

"That, Brother Song Cheng, do you have any other fighters in our team?"

When he checked on the Internet before, Liu Wei felt that there should be more than these idle fighters in the "speed of sound", so he asked with a smiling face, but was blocked back quite indifferently.

"Probably, but that's all for now, the rest is locked up in the back storeroom and sold in rags. ――You're not going to do it yourself now, why do you still say 'our team'? Whether there is a suitable one, if not, forget it. ”

How does this person talk yin and yang? Long Yun also heard it quite well from a distance, but after a little speculation, he knew that this person named Song Cheng was quite impatient; From his consciousness activities, it seems that he is not interested in aviation competition, but just treats this job as an errand to make ends meet.

At this time, Liu Wei didn't get angry because of these words, just approached Long Yun, and the two of them talked a few words in a whisper.

"Brother Long, I'm so embarrassed...... I also don't think we can afford to rent fighter planes here. ”

"It doesn't matter," Long Yun said to Song Cheng Nunu over there, meaning how can such a person be easy to deal with? Even if there is a suitable model, they may not rent it, "I'll go say hello to him, let's go first." ”
