Chapter 146 Making Money
Jiang Ning waited at the highway entrance for about twenty minutes, and a BMW drove off the highway from the exit.

Then he turned his U-boat and drove over to park next to me.

The car window rolled down and Li Cunxi leaned out to take a look.

Jiang Ning got out of the car, looked inside, and got into the back seat.

There was no one sitting on the passenger seat. It is said that the back seats of cars like the BMW 7 Series are very comfortable.

Jiang Ning usually drives himself and rarely sits in the back seat.

Anyway, whether it is his Mercedes-Benz or Feng Yu's G-Class, sitting in the back seat is very uncomfortable.

Experience it today.

The driver quickly got on the highway.

Jiang Ning felt it and said, "This car is comfortable to sit in."

Li Cunxi said: "If you don't want to drive, take a car. It's ok for you to drive your car, but it's very uncomfortable to sit in the back."

Jiang Ning nodded. It was indeed uncomfortable to sit in the back of an SUV.

Li Cunxi opened a pack of cigarettes and gave one to him.

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No."

Li Cunxi lit one himself and said, "I have good news for you."

Jiang Ning asked: "What good news?"

Li Cunxi said: "Wang Wenkai is missing. He disappeared mysteriously a week ago. No one can find him alive or dead. His old man has also disappeared. Junsheng is probably going to disintegrate. You are out of trouble."

Jiang Ning asked, "Did he run away with the money?"

Li Cunxi said, "No, his mother, wife and children are all here. How could he escape without taking them with him? Besides, many other people also disappeared inexplicably. I never believed in ghosts before, but now I doubt it."

Jiang Ning retorted: "Ghosts are all in people's hearts, where do ghosts come from in the world?"

Li Cunxi blew out a smoke ring and said, "Then how do you explain why so many people suddenly disappeared inexplicably?"

Jiang Ning said: "Maybe he really ran away and didn't want his family anymore."

Li Cunxi said, "One or two people might be possible, but it is unscientific and unreasonable for so many people to abandon their families and run away. We have checked and none of them left the country, so they definitely did not run away."

Jiang Ning was not interested: "I don't care about these, I just want to know if the plane you found for me is reliable."

Li Cunxi said: "It shouldn't be a big problem."

It took four hours to reach the provincial capital and we found a hotel to stay in.

Li Cunxi did not stay in the hotel and went home.

We met at the airport the next day and flew to Jinling together.

The place landed at 2:30. Li Cunxi was very familiar with the area and contacted the pick-up station.

He was directly transferred to a flight base in the suburbs. The person in charge was about 40 years old and was an acquaintance of Li Cunxi.

After a few pleasantries, we went to see the planes.

A four-seat Thunderbird, a 20-year-old aircraft.

White, looks quite new.

The flight time is 326 hours, which can barely be considered a new aircraft.

Jiang Ning flew a circle and felt it was pretty good.

The configuration is quite high and it is equipped with air conditioning.

Li Cunxi also flew a circle.

When I asked about the price, it was not cheap, 430 million.

A new machine of this thing only costs three or four hundred yuan, but in recent years, more and more rich people have bought it, so the waiting time is long and the price has been rising rapidly. New machines with higher configurations are basically more than five hundred yuan, so 430 million is not bad.

Not too expensive.

After the test drive, I looked at the documentation.

All three certificates are complete and can be checked.

There is also a C-test report, which was conducted two months ago.

Jiang Ning asked, "Can we have a third-party organization conduct the test?"

The boss nodded: "Of course."

Jiang Ning contacted a third-party testing agency to conduct a physical examination of the aircraft.

The boss treated us to a meal of Jinling specialties in the evening.

The next day was free for Jiang Ning to visit some tourist attractions.

Jinling is such a great place, with scenic spots everywhere. The natural conditions here are so unique, with many rivers and lakes, and water everywhere. It is evergreen all year round, and the trees are green in winter too, unlike the Northwest, where everything withers as soon as winter comes.

It won't be too bad as long as there is water.

Such a beautiful scenery deserves to be accompanied by good poetry.

But after racking my brains for a long time, I couldn't think of a poem that was appropriate for the occasion.

I have very little knowledge and I have long since returned everything I learned in junior high and high school to my teachers.

Walking along the Qinhuai River, listening to the tour guide explaining the cultural history of the Qinhuai River to tourists.

Jiang Ning suddenly felt that he should find a tour guide.

Traveling is not just about seeing the scenery. If you don’t understand the human history, many historical attractions will be like a dog looking at the stars, not knowing the density. It’s the same as not seeing them at all, and you won’t be able to feel any cultural atmosphere in your hometown.

This feeling is particularly obvious when I come to Jinling.

Jiang Ning also has a sense of cultural identity.

So I checked my phone and found a private tour guide.

One thousand per day including the person and the car, no time limit.

After three days of sightseeing with the tour guide, Jiang Ning felt that the money was well spent.

Much more professional than Didi drivers.

The cultural background and historical allusions are explained in great detail.

Didi drivers don’t have this level of professionalism.

After three days of play, the third-party testing agency also completed a physical examination of the aircraft.

No problem, you can buy it.

So I signed the contract and paid the deposit.

The seller arranges shipment.

Jiang Ning took the high-speed train to Suzhou.

When I was in elementary school, the textbooks said there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

I've been wanting to come and see it for a long time, but was delayed in one way or another.

I originally wanted to come during the May Day holiday, but ended up getting into some trouble.

This trip is just a chance to take a look around.

I didn't look for a tour guide, but instead hired a Didi driver and the car for two days.

None of those bad things.

but……

They can only show you the way and cannot provide any other services.

Not as professional as a tour guide.

I played in Suzhou for two days, and then went to Shanghai for two days.

Finally, I went to Hangzhou for three days, visited the West Lake, and went up to Leifeng Pagoda.

Bought a bunch of tea...

Back to Bei'an, the plane arrived three days ago.

I did an A check at the Tianxing General Aviation Base.

After being towed and bumped around by a car for thousands of kilometers, it must be checked.

Li Cunxi hasn't come back yet, he's still living a life of drunkenness and debauchery in Nanjing!

Jiang Ning asked Wang Qiang to go to Qi Ze and fly the plane back.

Wang Qiang drives the car.

He flew over in a plane.

All the formalities have been completed and the account is entrusted to Tianxingtongxing.

The airspace route has also been applied for, and you can fly freely within 300 meters.

Just don't fly into a no-fly zone.

Jiang Ning asked and found out that Bei'an did not have a clear no-fly zone.

Temporary no-fly zones are only designated during large-scale events.

Just don't fly over the stationed troops.

Everything is ready, except for a driver's license.

That thing will have to wait for a while.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Wang Qiang drove the car slowly.

Jiang Ning took off from Tianxing Base in his plane and arrived over the farm in ten minutes.

First, I flew around the farm and inspected the territory.

There were a few flocks of sheep scattered around, all of which were herdsmen from nearby villages.

The grass outside did not grow this year, and the herdsmen from far away came and left.

But nearby herdsmen would still come here from time to time to graze their sheep.

However, the farm wall has been built and the herders can only sigh in despair.

It is no longer possible to herd sheep onto the farm.

In the north, on the several plots of land enclosed by the Wenzhou people, people are busy digging wells and planting trees.

Viewing the farm from the high school by plane is a completely different experience than viewing the footage from a drone.

There was still a little green in the wilderness in April.

In May, there was no rain and the flowers turned yellow again.

Inside the farm and outside are two different worlds.

After flying around, I went to the office building.

The workers who were working saw another plane coming and they all looked up.

I can tell at a glance that it was the plane bought by the boss.

The news had already spread in the group that the boss had gone to the south to buy a plane.

Everyone is waiting to see what's going on.

When it flew over the office building, the employees ran down.

Stand downstairs and watch the wonder.

Fortunately, after submitting the explanation, no one rushed to the middle of the yard again.

All the cars in the yard were parked aside and no longer parked in a mess.

Jiang Ning circled in the sky before controlling the plane to land.

As the plane slowly landed, a huge strong wind blew in the face. Although it was more than 30 meters away and the employees standing downstairs were mentally prepared, they still felt that the wind was a bit strong. If they stood downstairs, they might not be able to stand steadily.

Before the rotor completely stopped, everyone rushed over and ran up to see the wonder.

Lao Yang followed behind and also found it interesting.

Jiang Ning opened the cabin door and came down.

Dealing with various issues faced by employees.

Lao Yang also went up and sat on it, but did not dare to touch the instrument control levers.

After getting off, he said: "This plane is too small, not even as big as a car!"

Jiang Ning said: "It's a small plane, it can only seat four people."

Kong Fangfei said, "It's much bigger than the one that Boss and Boss Li opened before. That one only had two seats."

Xu Wenjing was curious: "Brother-in-law, I just saw you coming down from the right side. Is the pilot's seat on the right side?"

Jiang Ning said: "Not necessarily. Some are on the left, some are on the right. Most European and American helicopters have reversed rotors, and the fuselage will tilt slightly to the right due to the anti-torque effect. The pilot is on the right to balance the anti-torque."

Xu Wenjing said "oh" twice, but didn't understand what he said.

Everyone asked a lot of questions at once.

He climbed up swiftly and sat inside to feel it.

But he was soon pushed down by the people queuing behind him.

Take turns to experience it.

Xu Wenjing sat in the co-pilot seat and asked, "Brother-in-law, can you take us flying first?!"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Three people at a time, no overloading, who will go first?"

Although everyone was a little excited, they still remembered to be humble.

Let Lao Yang go first.

But the old man didn't dare to go up, thinking that this thing was not safe.

This time everyone was not polite.

Xu Wenjing sat in the co-pilot seat, Kong Fangfei and the buyer sat in the back seat.

Jiang Ning was a little worried, and told Xu Wenjing: "Don't touch anything."

Xu Wenjing nodded quickly: "I know."

Jiang Ning checked the plane. This thing is different from a car.

When the car is on the road, it may just break down if it has a minor problem.

Flying in the sky, you can imagine what would happen if the plane malfunctioned.

Put on gloves and check the checklist one by one.

By the way, ask the three of them to fasten their seat belts and wear noise-proof helmets.

Xu Wenjing pointed to the joystick in the middle and asked, "Brother-in-law, what is this for?"

Jiang Ning said: "You are the one controlling the plane, don't move."

Xu Wenjing said: "Why are there these things on the passenger seat? It's too much of a hindrance."

Jiang Ning said unhappily, "Plane is different from car. The co-pilot is supposed to assist the pilot in flight operations and take over the plane in an emergency. Take your feet away and don't step on that pedal, or the plane will crash."

Xu Wenjing was startled and quickly took her foot away.

I don't want to sit in the passenger seat anymore. Kong Fangfei and the buyer were also worried and told Xu Wenjing not to move.

What flies in the sky is different from what runs on the ground.

This stuff is no joke.

When you get to heaven, you have to leave your life to God.

It would be a lot of fun if there was a flight accident.

Jiang Ning took two minutes to complete the inspection and asked the onlookers to move away.

Then press the start button.

Amidst the huge noise, the rotor began to rotate slowly.

The total torque rod is pulled only after the rotor reaches the specified speed.

The fuselage shook slightly and slowly rose from the ground.

Xu Wenjing looked at the ground curiously.

Kong Fangfei and the buyer were also looking at the ground.

It was my first time riding a helicopter. It was fresh and exciting.

After the plane climbed to an altitude of 50 meters, it began to circle. After one circle, it continued to rise into the air while slowly flying south. Xu Wenjing was a little nervous at first, but when she found that the plane was flying very steadily, she relaxed.

Can't wait to share my experience: "It feels pretty good, but the noise is a bit loud."

Kong Fangfei said: "The speed is also a bit slow."

Jiang Ning pushed the control stick and the nose of the plane immediately tilted downward.

You can clearly feel the speed starting to increase.

After flying to the south gate, it turned around and flew north again.

Looking at the farm from the air, you will see a completely different scenery.

Especially when I saw the huge contrast between inside and outside the farm, I instantly felt that the farm was so great. The feeling was so intuitive that it could not be compared with the pictures taken from a drone.

After flying around, the plane landed in the yard.

The three of them got off the plane, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

Three people went up and flew around and came back.

Continuing to change, after listening to Kong Fangfei and Xu Wenjing sharing their experiences, Lao Yang finally couldn't resist his curiosity and bravely prepared to experience a different kind of flying fun. The old man didn't dare to sit in the co-pilot seat and sat in the back.

I was a little nervous when I took off.

I relaxed only when I found that the plane was flying very steadily.

While curiously looking at the farm below, he said, "Plane is more convenient. You can fly wherever you want in the sky. You don't have to worry about driving off the road or taking a detour. The feeling of flying in the sky is different. No wonder rich people buy planes."

Jiang Ning said, "In big cities, people fly helicopters to get off work. There are retired men in their 60s who are ambitious enough to learn a driver's license and buy a helicopter. You are only in your 50s, so it's not too late for you to learn a driver's license."

The old man shook his head again and again: "I can't even drive a car, how can I fly a plane?"

After a walk, it’s almost time to get off work.

After dropping the person off, Jiang Ning drove the plane to the villa again.

Feng Xue was cooking. When she heard the noise, she ran out to see what was going on.

I watched the helicopter slowly land on the lawn, watching it curiously.

Jiang Ning called her over and asked, "Do you want me to take you flying?"

Feng Xue quickly shook her head and gestured in sign language: Cooking!

Jiang Ning had no choice but to give up and turned off the engine.

Seeing Feng Xue looking inside curiously, he asked her to come in and take a look.

Feng Xue didn't go up, but took a few glances from outside.

I hurried back to cook.

Jiang Ning was not in a hurry to go in, as it was a rare opportunity to buy such a big thing.

He hasn’t gotten over the novelty yet!

After studying the airplane for a while, Feng Yu came back.

It was no surprise to see the plane parked on the lawn.

I knew he was going to buy a plane.

I got off the car and took a look: "This plane is so small."

Jiang Ning said: "It's just a small plane. A large helicopter would cost tens of millions!"

Feng Yu asked: "Is such a small plane safe?"

Jiang Ning said: "You are asking the wrong question. If it is not safe, who would spend money to buy this thing?"

Feng Yu was very excited: "I'll sit down for a while after dinner."

Jiang Ning nodded and looked at it a few more times.

Then Feng Yu and I went back to the house to eat.

After lunch, wait for Feng Xue to finish cleaning up.

The three of them came to the lawn and got on the plane.

Feng Yu sat in the passenger seat and was told not to touch anything.

I didn't want to sit there anymore, so I sat in the back row with Feng Xue.

After a long delay, it finally took off smoothly.

Feng Yu and Feng Xueru were also quite nervous at first, but they relaxed after taking off. Feng Yu commented, "It's too troublesome. It takes seven or eight minutes to take off. In this time, I can drive from school to the farm."

Feng Xue also nodded, it was indeed quite troublesome.

Jiang Ning said, "It has different uses. It only takes me ten minutes to fly from Qi Ze, but it takes me fifty minutes to drive. This thing is actually quite easy to drive. If you want to drive it, you can get a license after you have the baby."

Feng Yu asked, "Can I learn it?"

Jiang Ning said: "You can learn it. There are many female pilots now."

Feng Yu was quite interested: "Let's see after the baby is born. I think your operation is quite complicated."

Jiang Ning said, "It's not complicated at all. It's very simple to operate the plane. It's just that the inspection before takeoff is a bit troublesome, but it's not a big problem. Just follow the checklist and it's done. It's all procedural stuff. You'll get used to it after doing it a few times."

Feng Yu nodded, looked at the farm below, and said, "The farm is really beautiful when viewed from the air. It's all yellow outside, but it's all green inside the farm. The contrast is huge."

Feng Xue also leaned against the window and looked out, nodding repeatedly as he listened.

The noise from the helicopter was too loud. The rabbits in the forest had never heard such a terrifying sound.

When the plane flew overhead, the rabbits jumped around in panic.

Others ran onto the road like headless flies.

When it flew over the ranch, the cows, sheep and pigs on the ranch were frightened and jumped around in panic.

Li Fumin looked at the plane in the sky and was speechless.

Feng Yu laughed out loud: "You scared the cattle and sheep and made trouble."

Jiang Ning laughed, turned around and flew away.

When we returned to the villa, we saw a Prado parked in the yard.

Dad Jiang and Uncle Zhang Yuedong stood beside the car, smoking and talking.

Hearing the noise, everyone looked up at the plane.

Then they watched the plane land on the lawn and Feng Yu and Feng Xue got off the plane.

Feng Yu greeted them, and Jiang's father and Zhang Yuedong smiled and nodded.

The plane was still running and Jiang Ning hadn't gotten off the plane yet.

He opened the cabin door and asked loudly, "Are you here to take a flight?"

The two of them leaned over to take a look, and found that they didn't come here specially to take the plane.

Just came here to see something new.

Jiang Youxin asked, "Can I sit down?"

Jiang Ning said, "You can sit on it. Come on up. I'll take you for a flight."

Dad Jiang went to the passenger seat and Zhang Yuedong got in the back.

Jiang Ning gave some instructions, fastened his seat belt, put on his helmet, and then took off.

After the plane took off, Zhang Yuedong sighed: "It's great to be rich."

Jiang Ning said, "Uncle, buy one too."

Zhang Yuedong said: "I am a vegetable grower, why should I buy this? I can't afford it."

Jiang Ning said: "It's not expensive, only a few million. Can't uncle afford a few million?"

Zhang Yuedong said: "I do have several million, but I can't spend all of it on this thing. I can't afford to maintain it even if I buy it."

Jiang Ning said, "There are hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can buy a cheaper one to play with."

Zhang Yuedong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm already in my forties, what's there to play with?"

Jiang Ning said: "Someone in his sixties is still taking the pilot's license exam and preparing to buy a plane to play with."

Zhang Yuedong said: "They have plenty of money, they can play however they want, how can I compete with them?"

Jiang Ning said: "What's the difference? You're not short of money now, so it's okay to buy something worth hundreds of thousands for fun."

Zhang Yuedong shook his head: "Zhang Yulong hasn't started a family yet. He can't even support himself with the salary he earns. I have to support him. How can I have the right to play? I still have to save money for retirement. I can just sit in your house."

Jiang Youxin watched his son fly the plane and asked, "Is the plane easy to fly?"

Jiang Ning said: "It's easy to drive, even easier than a car."

Jiang Youxin didn't quite believe it: "Is it true?"

Jiang Ning said, "Really? Aren't you watching? There are only two joysticks, one for controlling the height of the lift, and one for controlling forward, backward, left and right flight. The foot controls the direction of the turn. It's very simple."

Jiang Youxin looked at it for a while and asked, "How much does it cost to get a pilot's license?"

Jiang Ning said: "Three hundred thousand."

"His!"

Jiang Youxin took a breath: "It's so expensive."

Jiang Ning said: "What do you think? If it's a few thousand dollars, everyone will go to learn it."

Zhang Yuedong urged, "Brother-in-law, learn one. Jiang Ning has already bought a plane, so it would be useful for you to learn a license as well."

Jiang Youxin was still hesitant. He has always been interested in driving.

The driver’s license is B2, which allows them to drive a dump truck.

I never dared to think about flying a plane before.

I never dreamed of it.

But now that my son has bought a plane, I can now dream of things I never dared to think of before.

Just a little hesitant.

After all, the tuition is too expensive. It costs three hundred thousand to get a license, which is a bit beyond my expectation.

Seeing that he wanted to learn, Jiang Ning let him try it.

In fact, it is safer than a car, and there are obstacles in the sky, so there is no possibility of rushing off the road or hitting people. Besides, he is in the driver's seat, so there is no problem. Jiang Youxin tried it with trepidation and immediately believed it.

This thing is really easy to drive.

Grab the joystick and push it forward to fly forward.

Pull back and you will fly backwards.

Fly left, left. Fly right, right.

Pull the total torque rod up to make it fly upwards, and push it down to make it fly downwards.

Not only is it easy to operate, but the sky is vast and you don't have to worry about hitting people like driving a car.

It feels really great.

On the way back to the villa.

Jiang Youxin said excitedly: "Sign me up and I will also study for a license."

Jiang Ning said: "Transfer money."

Jiang Youxin: “…”

Fly back to the farm and land on the lawn.

Jiang Youxin and Zhang Yuedong did not enter the house, but drove away.

Feng Yu had already fallen asleep and was dozing off when he was woken up again.

Look at the time, it's already one o'clock.

Turned over and continued to sleep.

I can still sleep for an hour.

Amid the roar of the engine, the plane seemed to fly away.

There is a large open space behind the office building.

It was originally kept as a spare.

When Jiang Ning decided to buy a plane, he had a hangar built at the back.

A helipad was also built.

The hangar is not big, only about 200 square meters.

The apron is even simpler, just harden it and you're done.

After parking the plane, Jiang Ning went to the front yard and drove away.

As soon as I started the car, my cell phone rang.

I took it out and looked at it, it was an unfamiliar number.

I thought it was another sales call and was about to hang up.

After thinking about it, it's a local number, so it's unlikely to be a sales call.

I just picked up the phone casually: "Who is it?"

It was my old classmate Li An: "Boss Jiang, I'm Li An."

"..."

Jiang Ning looked at the number and said, "I saved your phone number, why is your name not displayed?"

Li An chuckled: "Are you free? Yang Qiuyan and I would like to treat you to a meal."

Jiang Ning said: "No matter how busy you are, you still have time to eat. Find a good place and send it to me."

　Today my brother-in-law came to see me in his sports car and spent half a day with me. That’s all. I will continue to work hard tomorrow.
