Chapter 1910 Flying over the Capital
"How many minutes do you have time to see me?" he asked.
Although there have been a lot of things recently, and they are all major events, just like before the war, the coach was actually very relaxed. He has nothing major now, otherwise, he would not have promised to take his son out to play this morning.
I can definitely squeeze out a few minutes to see Pan Xiaomin.
"Please," Feng Yiping stood up and walked towards the door.
If the other party is a lady, he has to greet her.
"Mr. Feng, thank you for taking the time to meet me despite your busy schedule." He has short curly hair and wears a long blue suit with a gray stand-up collar and plaid cuffs. He is capable but mature, refreshing and charming. The last time they met, Pan Shimin, who had changed a lot, stretched out his hand to Feng Yiping as soon as he entered the door.
"Please sit down," Feng Yiping smiled, "You were not such a polite person the last time we met."
"Haha," Pan Shimin laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly, quite silly, or rather cute, "Yeah, I don't know what's going on,"
"Let's put it this way, standing in front of you like this now, I feel a lot of pressure,"
She was telling the truth.
The last time I met Feng Yiping, I could treat him as an equal. This time I met Feng Yiping, and I unconsciously felt a sense of oppression and tension.
Maybe it's because the last time was at the beach in Hawaii, and this time, it was in his office?
Or maybe he was dressed casually last time and he was also dressed coolly?
"It's totally unnecessary. I'm still me, right?"
You are still you, but you are indeed a different kind of firework now.
"Besides, it's a sin to put pressure on beautiful women,"
"Haha, thank you, Mr. Feng." Pan Shimin looked more relaxed. Her eyes swept across Feng Yiping's office and paused on the wall. "Your office is really big."
"The only advantage is that it's big,"
He noticed Pan Shimin's gaze and stayed for a while on the paintings on the wall, but those paintings were all handicrafts, not even works of art, let alone works by famous artists.
It can be said that his office has no valuable decorations.
But the style can be said to be varied. This end is a serious reception area, and the other end, where the bookshelf and the reception sofa area are separated, is very casual.
There were a few beanbags beside the window, and some toys scattered around - mainly robots, as well as a large TV connected to a game console. There was an exercise ball in the corner, and even a tent, very Silicon Valley style.
"Just being bigger is enough," Pan Shimin said.
"But do you think this will work? While the weather is still nice today, how about we go for a walk and talk while walking?"
I knew it wasn't that simple, Feng Yiping said heartily.
"Everything else is easy to talk about. I have an important trip in forty minutes," he looked at his watch.
"That's enough." Pan Shimin stood up immediately, "Then please, leave everything to me."
Her car was a Mercedes-Benz with a military license plate. Feng Yiping didn't study the military license plate and didn't know which department it represented. He only knew that it should be from the headquarters agency, which was already very impressive.
But she sat in Feng Yiping's Maybach without hesitation. "Did you know that after the "Opinions" were released, applications to establish airlines sprung up from all over the country like mushrooms after a rain?"
"Compared with European and American countries, in the field of civil aviation, we have a huge gap, so we have great development potential," Feng Yiping said.
"It's not easy. I've come to see you so many times. This is the first time I've heard your affirmation in this field,"
"I am just stating a fact," let alone now, even ten years from now, in the field of civil aviation, the gap between us and developed countries, whether it is in terms of software, hardware, or related regulations, is still a huge gap. inside.
At that time, some small middle-class people in Europe and the United States could spend money to buy a small plane to enjoy themselves, but for the average wealthy people in China, airplanes were still a luxury product.
He looked at the direction of Pan Shimin's car and had a rough guess in his mind, "Where are we going?"
"Yes, Nanyuan Airport," Pan Shimin nodded.
"Any arrangements?"
"Yes, there are arrangements,"
Feng Yiping didn't ask any more questions. He just wanted to take a look.
"Nanyuan is our country's first airport. Our country's first flying squadron, the squadron that flew at the founding ceremony, was established in Nanyuan. Until now, Nanyuan is still the take-off place for all National Day military parade aircraft. , and it is also the airport of choice for leaders’ special flights.”
"Now it has been opened for civilian use. It is the base airport of China United Airlines. China United Airlines is an airline established with the original special pilots as its team."
Pan Shimin gave a brief introduction to Feng Yiping.
"So, it belongs to the military?" Feng Yiping asked.
"The original United Airlines was indeed independent of civil aviation. It was grounded in 2003 and reorganized last year. It is estimated that it will resume flying this year."
"Now you know why I came to you before," Pan Shimin said.
It turns out that she still had the idea of participating in the reorganization of United Airlines?
As for United Airlines, which was founded with a team of dedicated pilots, these business skills must be first-rate. However, when I think about the military involved and the reorganization, it must be a state-owned airline. In addition, generally speaking, the establishment of an airline company , all had to get at least the support of a local government, and Feng Yiping immediately lost interest.
It's too complicated, and he hates complexity.
"Here we are." They drove into the airport, and soon were guided by another car, driving directly onto the apron, passing several unmarked aircraft and those with the August 1st logo, and finally stopped in front of a blue helicopter. stop.
"You know, if you don't come, all my preparations today will be in vain," Pan Shimin said enthusiastically.
Feng Yiping knew her preparations well. Applying for a helicopter flight was even more difficult.
"How about Mr. Feng, come up for a walk?" The uniformed pilot jumped down from the cockpit and helped open the door.
"Are you going to take me to overlook the big capital?" Feng Yiping did not sit on it, but stood there and looked at it.
"Eurocopter's EC135," Owen said in Feng Yiping's ear, "Colin," he shouted.
His team member with black hair and a hooked nose ran over immediately, "Boss, this is a twin-engine light helicopter purchased by police departments in many European countries. It has flown for nearly 1 million hours in total. I have flown it,"
If you bloom, the breeze will come.
Because Feng Yiping's worth is getting higher and higher, although there are not many people under Owen, none of them are simple.
This Colin seems to be an expert in helicopters.
He introduced Feng Yiping in a few words, focusing on safety, because they all knew that the boss didn't seem to trust helicopters very much.
He chatted with the uniformed pilot for a few words, looked around the plane back and forth, and even walked around the cab. "Yes, but if you board the plane, I ask to sit in the co-pilot's seat,"
"Mr. Pan, what are your plans? Go for a walk around Tiananmen Square?" Feng Yiping asked.
It's only about ten kilometers away from Tiananmen. Even a helicopter can get there in the blink of an eye.
"This request really doesn't satisfy you," over Tiananmen Square? Helicopters will only be allowed to pass during military parades.
"We can wander around the outer areas, and then fly out, over the Great Wall, and I will take you to see another place."
"Would it be too ostentatious?" Feng Yiping asked.
"As long as you don't want to fly towards Tiananmen, you won't. How about, please,"
The aircraft is very luxuriously decorated. Behind the cockpit, there are only two rows of seats, each with only two seats. The white leather seats look much more spacious and comfortable than the economy class seats on civil aviation.
The helicopter took off smoothly amidst the roar. It just wandered around the Fourth Ring Road for a while, overlooking Tiananmen Square in the distance, turned west and left the city, and then went north. Soon, Juyong Pass appeared below.
Further ahead, Badaling Forest Park appears ahead.
I have to say that it was indeed a good experience to overlook the familiar landscapes at an altitude of one to two hundred meters. Feng Yiping felt that if he had known about this, he should have brought Ma Ling and Vincent with him.
"How about it, hurry up?" Pan Shimin's voice sounded in the headset, "As the traffic conditions in the capital become more and more congested in the future, it will take more and more time to get in and out of the city. How many people do you think will be willing to do this? Pay for convenient and fast transportation?”
"Yes, it only takes more than ten minutes to get into or out of the city, and then the flight plan approval takes three months,"
Pan Shimin couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said the truth, "I can solve this problem,"
Feng Yiping didn't care about her answer. At this time, he was completely attracted by the scenery below.
Flying over the Great Wall at such a height and watching it winding into the distance is truly a shock that cannot be compared to what it is like on the ground.
"That's our destination," Pan Shimin pointed to the northwest.
