Chapter 550 The First Private Plane
Chapter 550 The First Private Jet
On December 1969, 12, Yang Wendong, Su Yiyi and several senior executives of Changxing Finance chartered a plane to the United States.
On the way, Su Yiyi asked excitedly, "Is our plane about to be completed?"
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Yes, it was a finished product when we bought it before. It has been sent over for decoration during this period of time, and it is almost done. When we come back, we can take our own plane back."
Because of the Middle East crisis, the relationship between the United States and many Middle Eastern countries has become bad, which naturally affects Boeing, and some newly produced aircraft have been added; although these are also in high demand, Yang Wendong only needs one, which is not difficult;
After more than half a year of interior decoration, the plane is almost ready, and I will have the most expensive luxury item since I came to this world;
Su Yiyi added: "When we fly back to Hong Kong, I don't know what the Hong Kong media will say about it."
"Let them do whatever they want. The media is free, as long as the comments are legal." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "As a celebrity, you have to be aware of this. You can't keep a low profile anymore."
Not to mention the current media, even in ancient times, famous people were the same in the neighborhood, so many wealthy people in ancient times built bridges and roads and did good deeds to seek a good reputation;
The same goes for Yang Wendong. Over the years, the Changxing Charity Foundation has spent a lot of money in Hong Kong to help the poor, the sick, children, etc. One reason is for a good reputation, and the other is to do some genuine good deeds. After all, they make too much money and they can't spend it all in a lifetime. If they put it all in the bank, it will just be a bunch of numbers and it will be meaningless.
"Yeah," Su Yiyi nodded: "Then it will be much more convenient for us to travel in the future."
Yang Wendong smiled and said, "It's not just convenient, it's also much more comfortable. This rented plane is far inferior to a professional private jet;"
After all, the leased aircraft would have other uses, so even if Yang Wendong leased it, Cathay Pacific would only specially tidy up a few areas to make the people headed by Yang Wendong more comfortable;
But that's all. It's impossible to make major changes to the cabin interior just for a single rental.
Another point is that old-style aircraft are far inferior to the Boeing 737. This aircraft will have almost no rivals in the next half century, and its quality and comfort are naturally beyond reproach.
The first stop for them was New York, and their private jet also flew over from the decoration company in Washington State, waiting for inspection by future financiers.
"Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, let me introduce you to the interior of the plane, please." A young and beautiful blonde brought a few people into the cabin and introduced them one by one.
There are 36 airline seats on the entire plane. Each seat is much more luxurious than the first-class seats. Each one can be completely reclined to become a small bed for people to rest. At the same time, there is a small speaker near the head of the seat. You can install a tape behind the chair to listen to the corresponding music.
There are two rooms inside the plane, one is a conference room that can accommodate 10 people for meetings, so as not to waste air travel time. As long as it is used more often, the cost can be recovered. For large company bosses, CEOs, major shareholders, etc., their time is measured in tens of thousands of dollars. This is why many large companies will equip their senior executives with private jets in the future.
The other room is a private bedroom with a 1.8*2 meter bed. There is also a fixed color TV in front of the bed. However, it is relatively crowded. After all, it is only a 737 and it is impossible to make a very spacious bedroom.
At the front of the aircraft, behind the cockpit, there is a kitchen of more than ten square meters, which can provide a variety of drinks and food.
After listening to the introduction, Su Yiyi asked, "Can't they cook Chinese food here?"
The blonde introducer said, "Mrs. Yang, we have also studied this internally. It is not very safe to cook Chinese food on an airplane. High-temperature, oily dishes can easily burn people around them, and may even cause a fire, if the plane suddenly shakes." "It's okay. You can prepare it in advance and then heat it in the oven." Yang Wendong didn't care much.
In fact, all the dishes on the plane are pre-prepared. It is not possible to get fresh ingredients on the plane even on a private plane, but it is possible on a luxury cruise ship.
When flying in the air, safety is much more important.
After the introduction, Yang Wendong and Su Yiyi also got some understanding of the plane, and then the plane was ready to take off. This had been arranged before Yang Wendong came here, and he went straight to the test flight.
Naturally, one had to queue up at the New York International Airport. An hour later, the plane took off successfully. Standing by the window, Yang Wendong and Su Yiyi could directly see New York City not far away. The various skyscrapers gradually became smaller in their field of vision.
Seven or eight minutes later, the plane reached the stratosphere and a "beep" sound was heard, indicating that people in the cabin could unbuckle their seat belts and move freely.
After they walked around the plane, Su Yiyi smiled and said, "It feels really good, just like being at home, except that I'm a little shaky."
"This is the purpose of buying a private jet, so that we can have the same experience as at home." Yang Wendong said with a smile: "In the future, we may have to go to Europe and the United States frequently, so this is very important."
In a dozen days, it will be the 70s, and his own capital will soon be invested on a large scale in the United States. There will also be some in Europe. Coupled with the explosion of electronic products, he will inevitably have to travel to Europe and the United States frequently.
Even if you travel seven or eight times a year, including the time for round trip, you will spend at least half a month on the plane, which accounts for about 5% of the whole year. With such a large proportion of time, you naturally have to specially create better living conditions.
"Yeah," Su Yiyi nodded.
At this moment, there was a sudden jolt, and the orange juice in Yang Wendong's hand suddenly splashed out, making Yang Wendong's clothes quite dirty.
A Chinese flight attendant immediately stepped forward with a cloth to wipe it, and Su Yiyi also stepped forward to help.
"It's okay, this will be the norm in the future." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
The flight attendant said, "Mr. Yang, how about we switch to sealed beverages on the plane from now on?"
"That's fine, but the probability is small, so there's no need to completely reject it." Yang Wendong didn't care much.
He then changed his clothes. The best thing about the private jet was that it could store a lot of his personal belongings, such as clothes, tools, materials, books, etc. Even his private car could be carried on the plane to all parts of the world.
In this way, security will be greatly increased.
