Chapter 417: Did you pack a supersonic fighter?
"My God! What? Are you kidding? How much does it cost?"
How much could it cost?
It was not uncommon for large companies to charter business or charter flights. But that was based on the fact that there were too many people. At this time, chartering a flight was more expensive than buying a ticket directly per person.
Because not all airplanes of airlines could be full of passengers every time especially when it was not holidays, there would often be idle airplanes. If someone would charter a flight, the airline would be, of course, happy.
According to the normal procedure, this had to be booked one month in advance. In the case of Ye Qing, four people should charter an international flight, and it is very urgent. It was then an accelerated procedure. Just asking for the cost of the route will be a staggering number. The problem Ye Qing did not even have the idea to calculate this number. If he didn't want to be in a bumpy freighter, he would charter flight home. It was a simple question.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qing checked the route to the nearby country of Nigeria on the navigation. Benin was also a small country, but the country's security was good, and the economy was not too backward.
In Benin, there was the world-famous Pendjari National Nature Reserve. The low hills in the reserve were undulating and numerous rivers and canyons. There were not only many wild animals unique to Africa but also many backpackers and rafting enthusiasts' dreams.
Benin borders Nigeria, and you can enter Benin by heading 600 kilometers north. Count the distance to the airport of the capital of Benin is one thousand kilometers. With not surprisingly on the way, a Mercedes-Benz G 65 will be able to get there early tomorrow morning.
Out of the Abuja City, the road became bumpy. Wu Weiling had just finished the operation in the afternoon, and blood was already bleeding out of the gauze. Ye Qing asked the Master Metal Expert to drive slowly, but Wu Weiling waved her hand to indicate it was all right.
To paraphrase a line from the movie, it's not a big deal.
Wu Weiling flashed long eyelashes: "It's just...this is really too luxurious. How much does it cost to charter an international flight?"
"Then who knows, it's a few million and it's more expensive for urgent ones."
Ye Qing cautiously put a car pillow against her back. While supporting her, Ye Qing touched her arm, which was as cold as the Coke in his hand.
"Is it cold?"
He has almost asking nonsense, shouldn't he be like that if he was cold.
If we are following the plot of the movie, Ye Qing will have to hug her gently and domineeringly and warm her with a hot chest. But sitting in the Mercedes-Benz G 65, which was close to 5 million Yuan, could solve this problem by directly adjusting the temperature in the car to 28 degrees. After the temperature rose, Wu Weiling quickly fell into lethargy. Half an hour later, Ye Qing, who hadn't slept much, couldn't help being sleepy and fell asleep on the seat.
At three in the morning, the Mercedes-Benz G 65 rushed to the border crossing with Benin. A visa should be stamped to board a plane from the airport here. Ye Qing had no choice but to bear the pain, so he destroyed the heavy weapons including the Vulcan cannon and then discarding them in the forest. These very powerful heavy guns would be lost sooner or later anyway, and the pistol for self-defense was temporarily carried and tucked on the body.
Originally, border inspections were unallowed to let carry self-defense weapons, but seeing that Ye Qing was a foreigner, he was playing under the guise of investigating investment sites, plus Franklin gave him enough, border inspectors had no choice but to see nothing.
Entering Benin, the road conditions improved significantly. On the way to the airport, there was only a small section of dirt road.
When the sun has risen on the brown earth, countless animals woke up from dormancy, or posed in the sun, or showed malicious glances at other creatures. Ye Qing also woke up from sleep, ready to let the Master Metal Expert stop and to go down to stretch his stiff waist and let off the excess water. But he found out that Wu Weiling had fallen into his arms at some point. Seeing that her complexion was much better than yesterday, he gently put her down, get out of the car and stretch his stiff waist as if doing broadcast exercises.
Ye Qing and his party have reached the outskirts of the capital city of Benin. While Ye Qing was relaxing outside, two buses full of tourists passed by, they were all tourists going to the famous Pendjari National Reserve. On the second bus, he could also see many Chinese people sticking their heads out of the window; they were young adventurous men and women.
At nine o'clock in the morning local time, Ye Qing arrived at the airport, waiting for the charter flight to arrive.
When Monster Heavy Industry reached out to the international airlines that provided charter flights last night, that didn't stop airlines that wanted to earn extra cash from surpassing the rigid rules they had to follow to get to their location scheduled at the appointed time.
The purpose of starting a company is to make money, but in just one day, there is no time to plan routes and arrange for free planes to come. Those airlines that were far away were just too late to satisfy Ye Qing's schedule.
The far ones were too late; the near ones were a lot. There were also many airlines in Africa and South America. They had geographical advantages and had made quotations for Monster Heavy Industry. Finally, Monster Heavy Industry had chosen, and this unexpected big order was won by Delta Air Lines.
Delta Air Lines was the third largest airline in the United States and one of the earliest airlines in the world. In theory, the distance from here to Atlanta is farther than from here to China. If you take off from an inland airport, the distance is even greater. Whether it is the largest voyage or time is too late.
Of course, this is only theoretical. After seeing Delta Air Lines charter prices twice the price of other airlines, Monster Heavy Industry immediately chose them.
Delta Air Lines had more than 700 aircraft for various purposes.
This time they were flying a new aircraft, originally purely for the pilot and flight attendants familiarized themselves with this aircraft, and by the way, carried some of the company's outstanding management to fly to Madagascar for free travel. Now they have postponed their travel plans and are busy coming to Benin to earn extra money from Monster Heavy Industry. They will get acquainted with a new generation of Gulfstream G 750 business jet, newly launched by Gulfstream.
It takes a long time for an aircraft to be produced, to finalize the flight test, and to the official sale. As early as three years ago, Gulfstream’s next-generation top flagship model, the G 750, had a successful flight test. However, it took three years for this flagship model to enter the commercial test flight. So, Ye Qing also coincidentally became the first ordinary customer to experience G 750.
Benin and Shanghai Airport were similar in scale, but the supporting facilities are obviously backward. When the Mercedes-Benz G 65 arrived outside the airport, there were many motorcycle tricycles waiting to carry passengers outside the airport.
After giving the weapon he carried to the black boy Reso, and letting him go home by himself on the bus, Ye Qing pushed Wu Weiling’s wheelchair to the waiting hall.
The airport has also received news a long time ago, not only respectfully welcoming Ye Qing to the VIP lounge, but also carefully sending two doctors over to help Wu Weiling check her condition.
"This lady's physical condition meets the registration requirements." The person who received Ye Qing was a black girl who knew Chinese, with two big eyes, turning around Ye Qing's body.
"Mr. Ye, are there other things you need help with?"
"Help me fly my car back to China, and arrange two doctors to act as flight attendants." Ye Qing put the car key on the coffee table and smiled: “Can these two requirements be met?"
The girl who had studied abroad at Southeast University said she would help him arrange. She was gone, and it was Wu Weiling's turn to take another look. With Ye Qing, she finally understood the exact meaning of the word "prodigal".
"I don't think I need to have a doctor. It's too wasteful. I am in good health, and I feel very good now. You are like this; I really don't know how to repay you. My salary plus subsidy is only tens of thousands... "
"I am in charge of this plane, what if the wound inside opens?" Ye Qing waved his hand: "The big money is spent, and I don't care about this little money."
"Delta Air Lines Flight 11 ready to take off. Would you like to contact China in advance and let them come to the airport to pick you up?"
"Delta?" Wu Weiling asked in confusion: "Isn't that the old American airline? All planes flying outside have tasks. Charter flights can only from their country, fly an idle plane?"
"Yes~ they had taken off from Atlanta Airport and land in Benin at about ten."
Wu Weiling almost got up from the wheelchair, staring at Ye Qing with absolutely impossible eyes. "Oh my God, you shouldn't be fooled."
"I've taken the plane too many times. It's about 12,000 kilometers from the old Atlanta Airport to here."
"This is a passenger plane; it was almost at the maximum range. The plane must have fuel in reserve to be able to be used if it cannot land in its destination. There is not enough time. Even if the plane takes off as soon as you call, it can't land at ten o’clock."
Wu Weiling grabbed her mouth: "You've had supersonic fighter jet packaged and piloted several air tankers here?"
