1150 1149. Suppression (3/5)
Chapter 1150 1149. Repression (35)
Before getting ready to board the plane, Sophie smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect to fulfill my promise so soon. You plan to take a global flight in the near future, right?"
Li Du spread his hands helplessly: "What can I do? Besides, isn't the theme this time taking parents on a trip?"
Back from New York, he was preparing for another long journey, this time flying to Australia.
Originally, Brother Wolf took Ivana to Australia for the second-stage surgery, so that Li Du had to deal with the purchase of the island, so they simply went together.
In addition, Li and Du's parents have never been to Australia. Although Sophie's parents have been there, it was nearly 30 years ago. Sophie hasn't been there since she was born, so they want to take them to play together.
It happened to be December, and the American University had a winter vacation. The elderly on both sides had time, and the itinerary was relatively smooth.
Li's father and Li's mother are very happy. This time they can go abroad not only to the United States, but also to Australia. They can go out and see more.
"It's not just the United States and Australia. Our itinerary plan is to fly to South Africa first, and then fly to Sydney after staying in South Africa for two or three days." Li Du said.
Father Li asked in surprise, "Are you going to Africa? Is it very hot there?"
"This season is not hot, but Australia is hot." Li Du laughed.
Mother Li wondered: "Why do we have to stay in Africa for those days? Aren't we going to Australia?"
Li Du said: "It's a transit in Africa. In addition, you should take a rest. Flying from the United States to Australia has almost crossed the entire earth. It's very tiring."
Mother Li shook her head and said, "Why are you tired? Just sleep with your eyes closed on the plane, you won't be tired at all."
Li Du said helplessly: "But Sophie's parents are tired. They are not like the two of you. They usually work at home when they have nothing to do. They are in good shape, but they are not in shape."
He didn't tell his parents the real reason for going to Africa, nor did he tell his parents the real reason for going to Australia. Of course, Sophie's parents didn't know either.
The four old people simply thought that Li Du and Sophie were going out for their honeymoon, so they took them along by the way.
There were a lot of people on this trip, and there were six people from Li Du's family, plus five pets, that's eleven, plus bodyguards, Godzilla, and Hans, it was a total of two people. ten people.
Hans went to Australia to stay for a while, he didn't go to play, he had to go fishing for black gold abalone.
With many people and pets, Li Du rented a large plane, a Gulfstream G250.
This is the choice provided to him by the government. The Gulfstream G250 is a medium-sized business jet, but it has a strong power comparable to a large business jet.
The aircraft is equipped with two Honeywell-HTF7250G turbofan engines and can climb to an initial cruising altitude of 41,000 feet in 20 minutes.
It has a larger fuel tank than aircraft of the same class, and its range has been extended to 6,300 kilometers, so it is very suitable for intercontinental journeys. In addition, its maximum cruising altitude can reach 13,716 meters, which is also safer and rarely encounters bad weather.
Li Du is particularly interested in the space of the Gulfstream G250, which is by far the aircraft with the largest cabin space among super midsize business jets.
Compared with other business jets of the same level, the interior space of the Gulfstream G250 cabin is 17%-35% larger. Li Du and the others have a large number of people and need a lot of space, and the small aircraft will be too depressing.
In fact, if you plan out five furry kids who don’t take up much space, there are more than a dozen of them. This plane can accommodate up to 18 people, so the space is quite generous.
The plane entered the stratosphere and flew up smoothly. The bright sunlight came in from 19 oval windows, illuminating the space inside the plane brightly.
Li's father and Li's mother felt very happy sitting in the plane. Li's mother said, "This is much better than the plane we made when we came to the United States. That plane is still so big."
Li Du said with a smile: "Of course, it's a commercial flight, we are considered a private jet, the space is different, and it will be different later."
"Is the price different?" Mother Li asked.
Li Du said vaguely: "It's okay, it's not very expensive, tens of thousands."
Mother Li nodded, feeling that the price is really not high, after all there are so many of them.
In fact, the cost of leasing this plane to fly to Australia is 120,000 U.S. dollars for a round trip, and Li Du has a **** palladium card to enjoy discounted services, otherwise it will be even higher!
Of course, the high price is exchanged for high-quality service. There are flight attendants on the plane to provide services. The flight attendants not only take care of their travel, but also prepare lunch, dinner, and drinks.
There is a small space at the front of the cabin with a wine cabinet where you can go for a drink. There is a large LCD TV hanging above your head, which can receive signals in real time.
Li Du beckoned Sophie to come over for a chat, but Sophie ignored him and stayed quietly on the seat with Ah Ao in her arms.
After flying to South Africa, Li Du asked his parents to rest here, and took three bodyguards of Brother Lang and Sophie to fly to the border between South Africa and Mozambique.
This time they still took the helicopter of the lion hunter. The lion hunter was very happy to see Li Du, laughed and gave him a warm hug, saying that it was great to see him again.
On the helicopter, the two chatted about Lei Moning's recent situation, and the lion hunter said enthusiastically: "Now I have to change my name to Commander Lei Moning. He holds the Southwest Military Region in his hand, and will become a big man who will affect the international situation in the future. It is the light of our black people!"
Li Du secretly snorted and asked, "As far as I know, Lei Moning is short of development funds. He should have approached you. Have you invested in him?"
The lion hunter stopped laughing, and said weakly, "I want to too, but I don't have that much money."
He really doesn't have that much money, but he doesn't want to do it either. The lion hunter stays in South Africa to make money, and his ultimate goal is to immigrate to Northern Europe.
If he goes to a place like Northern Europe, Lei Moning will not be able to help him no matter how powerful he is in the future. It would be safer to save the money and invest in Northern Europe.
He said happily again: "Even if I didn't invest in Commander Lei Moning, we will always be friends. When we met, he didn't have a few guns in his hands. I helped him a lot at that time."
Li Du heard what he meant to show off, so he smiled and said: "If Lei Moning knew that the diamond worth 50 million U.S. dollars was sold to me for 5 million U.S. dollars at your suggestion last time, I don't know if you will still be friend."
Upon hearing this, the lion hunter fell silent.
He rubbed his hands in embarrassment, looked at Li Du and said, "Mr. Li, I did this for your sake. You can't tell the truth to the general."
Although it was Li Du who made the money, Lei Moning agreed to Li Du's bid only after hearing what the lion hunter said, so if there was a problem with the price, he would hate the lion hunter even more.
It was Li Du's turn to laugh, and he patted the lion hunter's shoulder affectionately and said, "Look at what you said, of course I won't talk nonsense, don't worry, my mouth is very reliable."
