What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 55 Old Pilot
"American jeeps, and planes?!"

Lu Jun widened his eyes, wondering where this thing came from.

"In fact, I am an avid military enthusiast."

Tang Wen remained calm and explained seriously:

"I found a way to collect some leftover materials from the war, including some working vehicles and a few airplanes. For the green and sustainable development of Dawan Village, I am willing to make them all available for tourists to use."

Lu Jun: "I can understand a car, but a plane—what plane? What kind of plane!"

Tang Wen: "Some twin-engine small passenger planes that look like bombers and small sightseeing planes that look like fighter jets can still fly and are very safe.

These planes were just some propeller-powered, very old, and barely flyable small planes.

If allowed, they could also put up a banner and advertise in Goose City."

"really?"

"You can also go up and fly around when you have time."

Lu Jun retreated tactically and began to doubt his life.

Yang Tai pulled Chen Yonggui beside him and said in shock:

"You have planes, where did this thing come from?"

"Collection, collection."

Chen Yonggui gave a few vague explanations. Not to mention trucks and planes, he had even seen the real weapons of the US military, such as machine guns.

Not to mention acting, as long as the costumes are right, they are real American soldiers.

Ever since Tang San offered sacrifice to the heaven, Tang Wen started to appear and disappear unexpectedly from time to time, and he has gotten used to it.

On the other hand, Lu Jun was also constantly calculating in his mind.

Since Tang Wen and Chen Yonggui dared to say it, it must be true.

So...it seems like it really has potential.

"Although the facilities are available, the basic investment in building roads and houses..."

"Small things, we can handle them ourselves."

Tang Wenxin said that everything in Da Wan is ready and the workload has been reduced by at least two-thirds.

"We just need the town's support for publicity and policy encouragement. Once the resort is built and we can operate these entertainment projects, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Of course not."

Lu Jun decisively answered, "How could setting off a salute for show be illegal? As for the planes and jeeps... they were just props for the scenic area. What impact could they have?"
Tourism economy is a brand new concept in Goose City. No one expected to generate income from it in the past.

If this approach really works, wouldn’t it be a groundbreaking achievement?

Lu Jun asked to see Tang Wen's Mi-7 jeep, and then he saw the Willys surrounded by several people in the government compound.

After seeing the authentic "props" with his own eyes, Lu Jun's attitude immediately changed significantly.

He doesn't care how to get things done, he only cares about whether he can succeed and whether he is a liar.

He knew both Chen Yonggui and Yang Tai, and they were his guarantors...

“The tourism development project in Dawan Village does have certain feasibility, and the town encourages attempts at new development paths.

As long as the interests of local people can be guaranteed, there is nothing wrong with generating more income.

Mr. Tang's plan is very forward-looking. If the Dawan Village model is successful, it will be a contribution to the entire town."

Lu Jun's two sentences basically decided the establishment of the tourist resort, and it became easy to go through various procedures afterwards.

If it is more than ten years later, such a project involving the development of a village land will require a long plan, the opinions of villagers, the impact on the surrounding environment, etc.

But now... Huge efforts, rapid progress, and immediate results are the dominant theme of this era. In the rapidly changing late 90s, the goals of economic development and the vibrant grassroots visionaries are the driving force that propels history forward at a rapid pace.

Many projects often only go through formal approval procedures after they are implemented and produce results.

The same is true for the Dayuan Village Tourist Resort. Whether it is right or wrong can only be determined by its performance.

……

"Is there really a plane?"

Yang Tai stood in front of the jeep, still a little unconvinced as he looked at Tang Wen who was about to go to Echeng.

"Really? There's one in the shipyard warehouse, but no one can fly it yet."

Previously, Tang Wen tried to dismantle the weapon system of an F4F, and the aircraft was immediately judged to be damaged. The Hornet immediately made a new one in the hangar and added it to the deck.

The cost of replenishing this F4F is 800 silver coins, but due to the 40% fee reduction for Halsey's tenth-level captain, 480 silver coins were actually spent.

This is equivalent to more than 20,000 RMB per aircraft, which is too cheap considering its actual value.

Moreover, Tang Wen can temporarily not replace the "damaged" aircraft. There are nearly eighty aircraft available for use in the Hornet, which is more than enough to squander.

The only troublesome thing is that although the aircraft judged as "destroyed" have only had their weapons removed and can still fly normally, they cannot be commanded by the commander or captain.

In other words, it takes a professional pilot to make this thing move...

Of course, Tang Wen believed that he would be able to find it as long as he used the silver coin method. He didn't need a fighter pilot to fly the F4F, a civil aviation pilot would be enough.

Even a mere propeller plane made Tang Wen himself eager to try it.

Before he traveled through time, he was a senior DCS (data simulation flight) pilot. Not only did he have 80 hours of "flight time", he had also flown a variety of jet fighters such as Su-25, MiG-29, F18, etc.

He also bought a full set of analog peripherals at the time, and recalled a lot of those operating skills by combining them with practice.

He doesn't really need people to fight, even the local villagers might be able to fly if they practice.

However, after hearing Tang Wen's words, Yang Tai suddenly said:

"I can fly a plane."

Tang Wen blinked and looked at the fat, bald, and greasy-looking Yang Tai in front of him, with disbelief in his eyes.

Could this person be a retired pilot? His temperament is so inconsistent!
But he still tried:
"Have you ever flown a J-5, J-6, or J-7?"

Yang Tai shook his head.

"Is that a bomber? The H-6, that's pretty powerful too."

Yang Tai still shook his head: "I have never flown a military aircraft."

"I didn't realize you were a passenger plane pilot. How did you transfer to this job?"

"neither."

Yang Tai interrupted Tang Wen's random guesses, smoothed his few remaining hairs, and said proudly:
"When I was working in the countryside, I built a farm and learned how to fly a Type 4 primary trainer."

Tang Wen touched his head. What kind of aircraft is the Type 4 primary trainer? This doesn’t seem like the domestic naming method.
Why does it feel a bit like the plane in the book?

"That was a trainer plane captured from the old Northeast Aviation School. When they were reclaiming the Great Northern Wilderness, someone there brought it here and planned to repair it and use it for spreading pesticides.

At first, we young people were very eager to learn, and many of the women did. Unfortunately, the Type 4 primary trainer's engine broke down easily, and later on, it couldn't be repaired, and with no gasoline, no one cared. By the time I left, it was already broken, which was a shame.

"Your plane also has propellers. I think it should fly similarly."

Almost? It seems so.

The aircraft seized by the old Northeast Aviation School were basically original trainer aircraft from the 4s, and the F36F was only an aircraft from , so they were from the same era.

Maybe...it's really possible?
