Chapter 971 Abu's Gift Ten
"You said that you want to investigate and experience the feeling of flying by yourself." Abu replied to Guo Tailai with a proud face: "So, this trip to and from St. Petersburg, you will experience the comfort of Il-96."
Guo Tailai remembered that he just mentioned it casually at that time, and Pu Dadi also said it casually, who knew that he gave himself such a big surprise today.
This is by no means an ordinary airport, but a military airport. There was only this one plane alone on the runway, but there were soldiers with guns standing guard in several directions.
Some of the security guards following Guo Tailai came from the special forces, and two of them, including captain Zhang Zhenhai, came from the Central Security Bureau. Others didn't know who the plane belonged to, but Zhang Zhenhai and the others recognized it at a glance.
Reminiscent of the heavily guarded place yesterday on the special plane of the Russian President, Zhang Zhenhai could vaguely guess who the boss was facing from yesterday afternoon to night.
Emperor Pu is actually willing to lend his own presidential plane for the boss to take? In other words, it is not appropriate to use lending, and it is more appropriate to use entertainment. This is really too unbelievable, right?
However, having the opportunity to board the special plane of the Russian President, known as the "flying Kremlin", seems to be an opportunity and honor that others can't imagine, right? Following the boss, I really saw the world.
"We won't affect Mr. President's travel, right?" Guo Tailai also wanted to enjoy the feeling of the presidential plane, but he asked a question out of politeness.
"This is just one of the four presidential planes." Abu smiled and made an inviting gesture: "It will not affect at all."
Walking up the gangway, a lieutenant colonel officer appeared at the cabin door, the one who was beside Emperor Pu last night. After saluting Guo Tailai and Abu, he personally led them into the cabin.
As soon as you enter, there is a large living room and dining room, and the layout looks very luxurious. Of course, after all, it is the cabin, and the width is still limited. The lieutenant colonel knew that Guo Tailai was going to inspect the Il-96 in order to buy a private jet, and he also knew Guo Tailai's status in the eyes of Pu Dadi, so he introduced the furnishings of the plane to the two of them seriously while walking.
It seems that it is not the first time for Abu to take this plane, but he still listens to his introduction with the lieutenant colonel.
Going to the back is a conference room that can accommodate twelve people for a meeting. Further back are two bedrooms with a bathroom in between. In addition, there is a medical room on the plane. On one side of the plane is an aisle where people can walk, and there are sofas in the aisle for people to rest. In addition, Pu Dadi likes to exercise, and on the other side is a small runway, which can be used by the president to move his hands and feet.
That's all for the introduction of the basic facilities, and there is no detailed introduction to other things about flight control and flight parameters. There is a very beautiful brochure for these materials, which is on the bedside of the bedroom, and Guo Tailai can read it at any time if he wants.
There should have been ten service staff on the plane, but today there are only four waitresses. Moscow is too close to St. Petersburg, the flight is an hour at most, and there are so many security personnel, not many people are needed to serve.
The security personnel of the two were scattered and sat in various seats on the plane. Under the captain's reminder, everyone fastened their seat belts, and the plane took off straight away.
It is very quiet, and the sound insulation material is very high-grade. Although there is still some flying noise after takeoff, it is much lighter than some civil airlines that Guo Tailai has taken.
"Try the bedroom?" Abu suggested with a smile.
Guo Tailai didn't refuse, he wanted to feel it, of course he wanted to try the feeling of lying on the bed in the air. Although I rented a Boeing 777 last time, it was only first-class, and at best the seats can be folded flat, which is completely different from a double bed.
Lying on the bed is indeed very comfortable, more comfortable than any first-class cabin. When the resources of the entire aircraft are only for one person to enjoy, it is indeed the most extreme service that can make people feel.
The whole flight was very smooth, of course, the weather was good, there was no turbulence or anything. The service outside is also very thoughtful, the space is large, everyone can move around at will, and food and beverages can also be taken at any time, which is very convenient.
The plane landed at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport. When it landed, Guo Tailai also noticed that there were at least two civil aviation planes circling in the surrounding airspace, probably giving way to the presidential plane.
The special gangway car approached, and there was a neat convoy after getting off the plane. It's a pity that there is no big red flag this time, but there is a Rolls Royce, and the others are black SUVs. Guo Tailai didn't care, and got into the car with Abu, and went straight to a restaurant near the sea that had been reserved. Guo Tailai doesn't need to ask, the restaurant is definitely the top.
Guo Tailai was very satisfied with the fresh seafood feast. After lunch, the team went straight to the Winter Palace.
This afternoon, the Winter Palace is closed directly, and only Guo Tailai and Abu and his party are accepted. Seeing the almost obsequious expression of the person in charge of the Winter Palace all the way, Guo Tailai knew that even if Emperor Pu didn't call himself, the people around him must have said hello, otherwise he would never have such an attitude.
Looking at the disappointed expressions of many people who were blocked outside the entrance of the Winter Palace, Guo Tailai also had to admit that this feeling of privilege is really intoxicating. A layman! There is no noble sentiment at all.
Da Vinci's original paintings are completely fine, and they are definitely not fakes put on display. Guo Tailai admired them one by one, and the new batch of nano-robots did so quietly without disturbing anyone. into Guo Tailai's body. The Winter Palace specially arranged for a Chinese foreign student working here to explain Guo Tailai's Chinese all the way, so that Guo Tailai and he could understand it in detail.
It was still a top-notch meal in the evening, and then continued to fly back to Moscow on the presidential plane.
"How does this plane feel?" Abu and Guo Tailai sat on the big sofa in the cabin and asked while drinking.
"Very good." Guo Tailai couldn't deny this point. No matter how stupid the other Russian planes are, this one is indeed very comfortable. Of course, it must be related to the owner of the plane: "Such a plane How much does the plane cost?"
"300 million dollars." Abu replied very disapprovingly.
"Good price!" Guo Tailai sighed, didn't say whether it was too expensive or cheap, just looked around, patted the leather sofa he was sitting on, and then continued to sigh: "I still can't fly at supersonic speed!"
"Tell me, Abu!" Guo Tailai seemed to ask casually: "If the Tu-160 is converted into a private airliner, will it be able to go supersonic? Is it possible?"
"Changing the strategic bomber into a private airliner?" Abu was stunned: "I don't know, but we will never sell the 'White Swan'."
