Traveling through the 60s, living a life of wealth and prosperity

Chapter 579 Private Helicopter

As for Western food, Wang Yuanchao naturally wouldn't eat it. The taste didn't suit his taste.

Xie Sha and Liu Meng were arranged to eat at a table next to them. Wang Yuanchao and Mi Xilu were eating lunch while sitting high up and talking in low voices.

"Miss Lu, the exterior glass curtain wall of the headquarters building built by my company in Tsim Sha Tsui has been completed, and we are now working overtime to renovate the interior of the headquarters building.

By then, I will need to cross the sea every day to commute to work, and it will not be as convenient as it is now."

Michelle didn't understand and said:
"My dear, what's the inconvenience?

Whether you take the ferry in Central or the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, it is very convenient. It just takes a little longer to commute.

Anyway, you are the boss, and there is no such thing as being late, so what's the big deal?"

Wang Yuanchao nodded without comment and asked:
"That's true, but the streets of Hong Kong are too chaotic. Now we go from Repulse Bay to Central to work. This is the rich area of ​​Hong Kong and the economic and administrative center of the white people. So there are basically no gangs and dwarf mules here.
The safety of travel is guaranteed, why smile?
Once our company moves to Tsim Sha Tsui, the commuting environment will no longer be as safe as it is now.
So I was thinking, what procedures would be required to get a helicopter to commute to Victoria Harbour every day? "

When Mi Xilu heard Wang Yuanchao's words, her eyes lit up, and then she fell into deep thought again. While eating the braised shark fin, she spoke after a while:
"Dear, as long as you have money, I can contact private jet companies in Europe and America and help you buy a helicopter. It won't be a problem.

Moreover, in Hong Kong, your pilot only needs to have a helicopter pilot license approved by the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department, undergo regular aviation medical examinations, obtain a valid medical certificate, and ensure that the physical condition meets the flight requirements.
In addition, you just need to apply for Hong Kong's flight permit and route application procedures.

When using a private helicopter in Hong Kong, a detailed flight plan must be submitted to the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department and relevant air traffic control departments before each flight, including take-off time, location, route, altitude, estimated flight duration, etc.

According to flight needs, apply to relevant departments for the use of specific routes and airspace.

If flying within a city, there is also the issue of permission to fly near special areas such as densely populated areas and no-fly zones.

If there are temporary special circumstances, such as emergency rescue, etc., you need to apply for a temporary flight permit, which is more troublesome to use. "

Wang Yuanchao heard this and interrupted:
"Miss, if I buy a private helicopter to go home, it will be convenient for me to commute to get off work.

Can I apply for a fixed route flight, or do I need to apply in advance for each flight?"

Michelle was interrupted but she was not angry. After all, their relationship had long transcended that of ordinary friends.

"Dear, private helicopters can apply for fixed routes, but if something happens and your private helicopter needs to fly beyond the fixed route, you need to apply for a temporary flight permit in advance.
Of course, these can be handled by your personal driver or personal secretary, so it is not a big problem for you.

The real problem is that I think your use of a private helicopter to commute to work is a bit too ostentatious and does not fit in with the current style of Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong.

There are many wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong now, but these people are usually very low-key and pay great attention to their reputation outside. They often attend charity banquets and package themselves. Everyone is afraid of being the first to stand out.

Once you buy a private helicopter to commute in Hong Kong, you and your company will surely be the focus of attention and discussion among the entire Hong Kong society. By then, you and your company will be completely exposed in Hong Kong and will become famous among the Hong Kong society and the people.
I know you Chinese people believe that people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat, are you sure you want to do this?"

Wang Yuanchao didn't expect that after spending so much time together, Michelle actually had some feelings for him.
According to Wang Yuanchao's understanding of Mi Xilu, with Mi Xilu's eagerness to make money, she would never miss any opportunity to make money.

Unexpectedly, Michelle was quite nice this time and actually considered the risks for herself.

So Wang Yuanchao smiled gently at Mi Xilu and said:
"Although Hong Kong is still under the colonial rule of the pirate country, the wealthy Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong are very low-key.
I'm afraid that the first bird to stick its head out will be shot, and the first one to stick out will rot first. I'm afraid of becoming the target of public criticism and becoming a target of others.

But I am different. Ever since I negotiated with the Hong Kong government and acquired the land in Central to build the world's tallest building,

It is bound to cause a huge stir in this small territory of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government will also take this opportunity to vigorously publicize their governance performance and political achievements in Hong Kong to the world and your island.
This time I can't be as low-key as those wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong and live in hiding.

So I must plan ahead and pay attention to the safety of my family in advance.

Given the current conditions in Hong Kong, if I use a private helicopter to commute to get off work, at least my personal safety in Hong Kong will be guaranteed."

Michelle frowned and nodded, then continued to try:

"My dear, actually, private helicopters are not expensive. They are nothing to the rich people in Hong Kong or to you.
Not every rich family in European and American countries has one, but it’s just a bigger toy and not uncommon.

But this thing is too rare in Hong Kong because everyone is cautious.

So once you purchase a private helicopter to commute home, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in Hong Kong, become the center of discussion, and will definitely be targeted by those with ulterior motives.
Aren't you Chinese people most particular about blending in with the world to avoid crises?
Do you really want to take such a big risk?"

Wang Yuanchao sighed and said:

"Miss Lu, things are not as dangerous as you think. It's not that exaggerated.
At that time, everyone will just watch the fun, and it won't pose much of a threat to me.
Can you help me with the purchase of a private helicopter and the application for a fixed route?"

Seeing that Wang Yuanchao had made up his mind, Mi Xilu stopped trying to persuade him and could only say with a complicated expression:
"Okay, dear, just wait for the money and leave it to me.

I will let you know when the time comes to arrange driver training."

"Okay, Missy, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Yuanchao knew that what Mi Xilu was worried about was not without reason.
