After Xiao Ning finished speaking, he raised his hand to invite her. Xia Yu didn't say much, but walked onto the red carpet with empty hands and onto the Boeing 787-BBJ, known as the Dream Business Jet.
Xia Yu had taken a Boeing 787 more than once, but they were all ordinary Boeing 787s with only a few hundred seats. Even the first-class cabin would not arrive at the destination half a minute earlier than the economy class cabin.
The business version of the Boeing 787-BBJ in front of him is different. Xia Yu can order it to turn around even when it is halfway through the flight.
"Good morning, Mr. Xia, welcome aboard x4!"
Oh my god, hearing these cries, Xia Yu almost thought he was in a club.
"Mr. Xia, can I change into your slippers first?"
The flight attendant in the far corner was looking at himself with slippers in his hand.
This, why is the process so similar, the only thing missing is changing shoes and then giving him a hand card.
Xia Yu sat down obediently and changed into slippers with the help of the young lady.
"Mr. Xia, please follow me."
Another flight steward waved her hand to the right aisle, and Xia Yu followed her through the aisle that was eight or nine portholes long and came to a golden round hall, which looked like a miniature version of a hotel lobby.
"Good morning, Mr. Xia, welcome to your dream flight x2"
After walking through the hall and coming to a screen wall, two more girls greeted Xia Yu.
Damn, how many girls did he hire this time?
Xia Yu nodded, but he kept complaining in his heart.
The charter price of an ordinary Gulfstream 450 is about RMB 100,000 per hour, while the price of a Boeing 787-BBJ is RMB 500,000 per hour.
This means that Xia Yu would have to spend 6 million yuan on the twelve-hour flight from Shanghai to Vancouver, which is almost the price of a low-end Audi.
Of course, as a Centurion Black Gold Card customer, Xia Yu still enjoys certain benefits. He joined the "Frequent Flyer" program and deposited 10 million yuan, which allows him to enjoy a 10% discount on every purchase made on the phone.
A 10% discount! That saved Xia Yu 600,000 yuan.
Doesn’t it seem cheap?
In short, for a flight that costs more than 5 million one way, what's wrong with hiring a few more flight attendants? No matter how much the salary is, it is not as much as the one or two saved by the discount, and it can also provide better service to customers.
"Hello, Mr. Xia. I'm Pan Meishan, the flight attendant. I'll be leading eight flight stewards to serve you wholeheartedly on this trip."
Walking around the screen wall, a beautiful woman who was probably in her thirties walked towards Xia Yu.
I have to say that the crew members on his flight are all very good-looking. Even the oldest flight attendant looks mature and charming. However, the focus this time is not on the flight attendants.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Flight Attendant Pan, Xia Yu turned his attention to the reception room and lounge behind her, which was large enough to accommodate more than ten people for a party.
He spent so much money to buy this Boeing 787-BBJ not only to make some extravagant money from the cryptocurrency circle, but also to explore private business jets.
Try out several different aircraft models and find the one that suits you best. If you can't find one that's right, then weigh the pros and cons of the business jets you've flown on, then eliminate the dross and retain the good, and deeply customize your own DreamPlane.
"Mr. Xia, our plane is about to take off. Please take a seat first. Once the plane is running smoothly, you can move around freely."
Flight attendant Pan pressed the microphone on her headset, probably because the captain in front was communicating with her.
"Okay, can I sit on this sofa?"
Xia Yu asked, pointing at the love seat in front of him.
"Okay, I'll help you put on your seatbelt."
After Xia Yu sat down, the flight attendant deftly took out the seat belt from the gap in the sofa, tied it around his waist, and adjusted the tightness.
The service is very thoughtful. Xia Yu feels like coming home here.
In fact, this place is really about the same size as his home. The Boeing 787-BBJ has a spacious space of 220 square meters inside. Although Xia Yu’s large flat in the Arc de Triomphe in Binjiang is more than 300 square meters, it is only about 200 square meters after the public area is included.
In addition to buying villas and manors, the rich cannot avoid the reality of shared property.
Just as Xia Yu was thinking this, the 787-BBJ under him slid out of the parking space and taxied towards the runway not far away.
His right hand touched a remote control, he took a quick look at it and pressed the power button, and the 75-inch TV embedded behind the screen wall lit up instantly.
A solo flight is so relaxing, Xia Yu doesn't have to worry about other passengers at all.
What kind of headphones are you wearing? I don’t know if headphones hurt your ears. It’s most comfortable to play with speakers out loud.
Education allows humans to regulate their words and deeds, but money frees people from this "restraint". I can only say that money is really a good thing.
As the plane climbed, apart from the force pressing on his body, Xia Yu felt that the roar of the plane was much quieter.
This was not his illusion. The BBJ version of the 787 used a large amount of sound insulation materials to ensure the passengers' flying experience, reducing the average noise level of 72 decibels to 48 decibels, which is roughly the level of normal human conversation.
Well, it’s not even as loud as the volume of his TV’s external speaker.
After the plane entered a stable flight state, the flight stewards who had just disappeared reappeared one by one.
"Mr. Xia, this is a hot towel. Would you like something to drink?"
After unbuckling his seat belt, Xia Yu took the towel and wiped his hands.
"Is there any champagne?"
Since he didn't need to rent a car after getting off the plane, he planned to have a good drink on the plane. After all, the long twelve-hour journey was very boring.
"Yes, we have Dom Perrier, Krug, Laurent-Perrier, and Perrier-Jouët..."
The flight attendant listed a long list of champagne names, but Xia Yu could tell they were all from the Faguo brand, because only the Faguo brand existed in the champagne bar.
"Then have a glass of Krug Aged!"
Xia Yu didn't think much about it and directly picked a drink he had never tried before to try.
"Please wait a moment!"
Back in the lounge, the flight attendant took out a half bottle (375ml) of Cook Aged from the refrigerator, opened the cork with a "pop", and poured a glass for Xia Yu.
Krug Vintage is a non-vintage champagne and also the most representative champagne of Krug. Xia Yu took a sip, and the bubbles hit his taste buds, bringing the aroma of fresh lemon and ripe fruit to every corner of his mouth.
Well, it tastes pretty good.
Xia Yu took another sip and tasted a more complex flavor.
"Mr. Xia, do you have any preferences for lunch?"
Even though Xia Yu was the only one on this flight, the airline still provided him with a rich selection of meals, all of which were from the Four Seasons Hotel.
Speaking of which, Xia Yu has never experienced this hotel!
“I don’t have any preference, as long as it’s Chinese food.”
Because the next week will be spent in the Maple Leaf Country, Xia Yu wants to reminisce about Chinese food before landing.
"Then I'll prepare it right away. The meal will be in about an hour, but you can also postpone or advance it."
"No need to go in advance, just eat normally."
As long as there is no delay, Xia Yu is used to eating on time.
