Chapter 1045 First Voyage

Li Yifu then immediately asked: "Uncle Shi, do you have any other requirements for the configuration and interior of this aircraft? Gulfstream's account manager also came to Sanshan at random this time, and we can ask them to follow your requirements at any time. Changes are required.”

Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "I don't have high requirements for this, and I feel pretty good now!"

Then he looked at Ling Qingxue again and asked, "Qingxue, how about you? Feel free to ask if you have anything!"

Ling Qingxue giggled and said, "What can I ask for, this plane is all top-level configuration, and the interior feels pretty good, it's still troublesome to change it..."

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "That's it!"

Li Yifu hurriedly said: "Okay, Uncle Shi! Then I'll go through the formalities right away, it may take about a week! But during this period, if you need to use the plane, there is no problem!"

This plane is still under the name of Jiuzhou Group. It is necessary to change the ownership to Xia Ruofei's name, which involves cross-border transactions. There are still many links, including customs declaration, tax payment, etc. It can be processed in one week. It's pretty fast.

Li Yifu thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, Uncle Shi, I suggest that the ownership of this aircraft should be placed under the name of your Taoyuan Company, which is considered to be purchased in the name of the company, which can also benefit from tax benefits. Of course, If your company's shareholding structure..."

Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Then hang it under the company's name!"

Li Yifu just reminded Xia Ruofei that if this plane was bought by Taoyuan Company, then the money for purchasing the plane is equal to an expense for the company, and part of the tax can be refunded. Of course, the purchase of the plane needs to be done Certain operations, these Li Yifu will naturally handle.

This is a reasonable tax avoidance, not tax evasion, Xia Ruofei will naturally not refuse.

As for the shareholding structure, Xia Ruofei holds almost all the shares of Taoyuan Company, except that Feng Jing owns very few shares, and for Feng Jing, Xia Ruofei will naturally not begrudge such a little money.

Li Yifu immediately said: "Okay! Uncle Shi, leave the rest to the disciples!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "You have a heart."

Then he thought about it and asked again, "By the way, how did you arrange those crew members?"

Li Yifu replied, "Uncle Shi,

They are employees of our Kyushu Group Southeast Branch. The company provides them with long-term accommodation in Sanshan. This team is here to serve you and can be on call. "

Xia Ruofei frowned and said, "I rarely fly a few times a year, which is a bit of a waste..."

Two senior captains, plus three flight attendants, and they are still working in private business jets, the annual salary is not a small amount, plus they have to provide accommodation. The most important thing is that the waste of resources is too serious, which means that the team is idle most of the time, and there is nothing to do at all.

Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "Isn't there a special business jet company now? They can provide aircraft custody business, and when there is a need for use, the company will send pilots and flight attendants, and it's good to pay per-use..."

Li Yifu hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi, I don't feel relieved to use the pilots of these companies. Your safety is the first priority. It doesn't cost much to raise such a team, so just leave it alone!"

In fact, buying a plane is just the beginning of the cost. After the plane is delivered, the owner has a lot of expenses every day. Even if the plane is parked at the airport, the salary of the flight crew, the rent of the site, the maintenance cost, etc. Wait, it's something that ordinary people can't afford at all.

There is a very sad saying: Even if a local tyrant sends you a plane, you will never be able to afford it.

Of course, Xia Ruofei does not have this trouble. One is that he can definitely afford it, and in fact, he does not need to be raised. All the expenses are covered by Li Yifu.

Xia Ruofei thought to himself that since he had even accepted the plane, he didn't care about the extra millions of dollars in team expenses every year, so he no longer bothered about this issue, nodded and said, "Okay! Just listen to your arrangement!"

"Yes, Master Uncle!" Li Yifu said with great joy, and then he asked: "Master Uncle, do you want them to apply for a temporary flight route, and you and Master Master will try this plane together?"

Xia Ruofei turned his eyes to Ling Qingxue and asked, "Qingxue, what do you think?"

Ling Qingxue was a little moved when she heard the words, and asked, "Will it be too much trouble? I heard that applying for a flight route is quite complicated..."

Li Yifu hurriedly said: "No, no! In fact, I have already reported in advance. As long as I apply, I will definitely be approved within half an hour!"

Li Yifu was very careful. Before he came, he had considered letting Xia Ruofei test the plane in person, so he asked the crew to apply for a temporary flight route, which was actually a local takeoff and landing. Of course, after takeoff, he would go around the East China Sea.

The flight route has been reported, and if necessary, apply directly. In addition, he has also cleared the relationship in advance, so he will be able to approve it soon.

Xia Ruofei thought about it, nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's fly!"

Li Yifu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately took out his mobile phone and called the crew waiting by the apron.

Soon, the crew boarded the plane, and Yang Wanxin, the vice president of the airport group, said goodbye and left first.

Li Yifu introduced with a smile: "Mr. Xia, this is Captain Liu An, and next to him is Captain Zheng Daming. Both of them used to work for Kester Business Jet in the United States, and they are their company's ace captains. Well, I specially dug it with a high salary."

The two captains quickly said a few words of humility.

Their technology is indeed very good, but in front of billionaires like Li Yifu, they naturally dare not be arrogant.

Xia Ruofei nodded gently towards the two of them.

Li Yifu said to the two again: "Captain Liu and Captain Zheng, you will serve Mr. Xia in the future. If Mr. Xia has any requirements for flying, you must do your best to meet them to ensure safe and efficient flight!"

The two captains nodded quickly and made a statement. In fact, before they came, they knew that this time they were going to work in Huaxia for a long time, and they did not reject it, because Li Yifu offered them twice the salary in the United States, as well as very good supporting benefits. Can't get through the money?

Besides, although the two of them are American, they are not American-born "banana people". They also went to the United States by themselves later. They also have many relatives and friends in China, and they are not uncomfortable at all in Chinese society.

Li Yifu added: "Mr. Xia, although the two captains work in the United States and are American nationals, they are both very fluent in Chinese and there will be no problems in communication."

Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile, and said, "You are very careful."

Then, he said to Liu An and Zheng Daming half-jokingly: "The two captains, the future flight safety will depend entirely on the two of you. You have my destiny in your hands!"

Liu An's qualifications are relatively older than Zheng Daming's, and he has spent more time flying Gulfstream aircraft than Zheng Daming, so in this dual-captain configuration, he plays the role of captain, and Zheng Daming serves as the co-pilot for him.

Therefore, after listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Liu An immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xia! The safety performance of Gulfstream aircraft is better than that of civil aviation aircraft, and the total flight time of the two of us on Gulfstream series aircraft has exceeded 10,000 hours. We will do our best to ensure flight safety.”

Zheng Daming on the side also smiled and said: "To be honest, the two of us are also familiar with the name of Mr. Xia! The epic emergency landing not long ago has been passed down by everyone in the aviation circle. Including us old flyers, we admire Mr. Xia very much!"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I was rushing ducks to the shelves. Professionally, I can't compare with the two of you! But if I have time, I can consider learning a private pilot's license."

"Mr. Xia's flying talent is beyond doubt. If he learns to fly, he will pass quickly." Zheng Daming flattered at the right time.

Li Yifu was very happy to see Xia Ruofei and the two captains chatting very harmoniously.

He asked, "Have you applied for an airline?"

"It has been reported!" Liu An said quickly, "It should be approved soon! Mr. Li, Mr. Xia, then we will prepare for the flight!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded and said, "You two have worked hard!"

"You're welcome, this is our job!" Liu An said quickly.

Then he and Zheng Daming nodded to Li Yifu and Xia Ruofei, and walked towards the cockpit.

Li Yifu was right. When the flight attendant closed the cabin door and the preparations on the cockpit were almost done, the route application had been approved, and the instruction to slide out was quickly obtained.

After being pushed back for a short while, the plane rolled smoothly onto the taxiway.

After a short wait at the runway, a Boeing 747 landed and left the runway before the Gulfstream G650 was cleared to enter the runway and take off.

Xia Ruofei, Ling Qingxue and others all fastened their seat belts, including the three flight attendants who also stopped serving, returned to the seats in the front cabin, sat down, and fastened their seat belts.

The plane turned into the runway lightly, and then did not stop, and immediately began to accelerate after the nose was straightened.

With a strong feeling of pushing back, the plane jumped lightly and took off steadily.

The plane then began to climb rapidly to altitude.

The cruising altitude of Gulfstream aircraft is higher than that of ordinary civil aircraft, and the flight will be more stable at that altitude.

It's just that today is a local take-off and landing, so the plane did not climb to the cruising altitude, it was leveled before entering the cloud, and then turned in the air and flew towards the sea.

This is also designed in advance. If you fly into the clouds, you will not be able to enjoy the scenery at all except the sea of ​​clouds or the sea of ​​clouds.

Ling Qingxue was naturally not the first time to fly, but it was the first time she had experienced such a luxurious private business jet. She looked at the scenery outside the porthole with some excitement.

Sanshan Airport was originally by the sea, so the plane soon came to the sea.

The weather is not bad today. From this height, the ships on the sea are only the size of matchboxes. You can clearly see the ships dragging a white track, and there are some small sailboats in the distance, which are even smaller. , almost only a white dot can be seen.

The entire dark blue background is dotted with boats of various sizes, which also look very spectacular.

After the plane took off level, the flight attendants also began to perform their duties, serving exquisite cakes and mellow red wine.

Xia Ruofei sat on the soft leather seat, brought a wine glass to Li Yifu, and said with a smile: "Yifu, this plane is really good! I thought that such a small plane might be a little bumpy when flying, but I didn't expect it to be even bigger than civil aviation. The plane is even more stable. And the noise is very well controlled, much smaller than civil aircraft!"

Li Yifu quickly picked up the glass and said, "Mr. Xia likes it!"

This is not the first flight of this plane, but it is the first flight in the true sense after Xia Ruofei took over the plane.

After flying in the sky for about 20 minutes, the plane began to descend slowly, drawing a beautiful arc over the sea and flying towards the airport.

Ten minutes later, the Gulfstream G650 landed lightly on the runway of Sanshan Airport. The landing process was also very smooth, and the red wine on the table hardly vibrated. It seems that the performance of this aircraft is indeed quite good. May become the first choice of so many rich people.

Of course, this is inseparable from the superb skills of the two pilots.

The aircraft left the runway and returned to the parking lot along the taxiway, and the test flight was successfully completed.

Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue both felt a little unfinished, but today I just took a test ride. In the future, I can use this plane at any time if needed, so Xia Ruofei is also quite satisfied with this maiden flight.

He personally went to the cockpit to thank the two pilots, and then stepped off the plane with Ling Qingxue and Li Yifu.

As for the crew, they still have to stay to do some post-flight finishing work, and their food and daily life are naturally arranged by the staff of the Southeast Branch of the Kyushu Group, so there is no need for Xia Ruofei to worry about it.

The group took the shuttle bus and left the tarmac.

Xia Ruofei said to Li Yifu: "Yifu, please send us back to the farm first! In addition, you can ask any questions about cultivation, and I will try my best to answer them."

Li Yifu said excitedly, "Thank you, Master Uncle!"

Now as long as there are no outsiders around, Li Yifu must respectfully call Xia Ruofei "Master Uncle".

Li Yifu came all the way to China, and Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't let him run away in vain. It was also a little effort to give him a few pointers in practice.

Of course, Xia Ruofei will definitely not let Li Yifu live in Taoyuan Farm - even if Ling Qingxue wants to go back first today, he will come to the farm soon, and he has to practice with Ling Qingxue! What is it like to join a bad old man in the two-person world of the two?

Therefore, it is enough to give some pointers, and then let Li Yifu go back to the hotel in the city.
