Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 499 Private Plane

It has been two months since Lu Shaohua returned to Hong Kong. During these two months, Lu Shaohua ordered the establishment of Phoenix Petroleum and then cooperated with Royal Dutch Shell. After that, he began to recruit talents and started operating Phoenix Petroleum, thus starting his ultimate plan.

Two months later, Lu Shaohua finally had something that made him happy, something that satisfied his vanity. A private jet arrived in Hong Kong, yes, a private jet.

Two months ago, considering that four helicopters could not accommodate so many bodyguards around him, Lu Shaohua asked a secret company in Africa to build a private jet for his exclusive use. Now, it has finally been built and arrived in Hong Kong. How could Lu Shaohua not be happy?

In the city of Hong Kong, how many people have their own private jet? Lu Shaohua can say without hesitation that no one has a private jet, not to mention a private jet, not even a private helicopter. Lu Shaohua has everything from a private helicopter to a private jet. How can he not be vain?

Not to mention the city of Hong Kong, even in the entire world, there are only a handful of people who own private helicopters or private jets. No one in the top 50 companies in the world owns one. Those who own one are either heirs of ancient families or founders. As for other people, it is impossible for them to own one.

And Lu Shaohua already has one. It's not because the private jet is so expensive, but it symbolizes a status, an unparalleled position that can be compared with that old ancient family. How can Lu Shaohua not be vain? How can he not feel excited?

But then again, even though he has a private jet, Lu Shaohua tries his best to keep a low profile and not show off. After all, although he has a lot of wealth now, it is not comparable to those ancient families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. Therefore, Lu Shaohua can only keep a low profile as much as possible.

Lu Shaohua was very self-aware, and he knew his own weight was already there. At present, he could not compare with those ancient families. However, Lu Shaohua was not discouraged by this. On the contrary, it stimulated Lu Shaohua's inner fighting spirit and made him want to surpass those ancient families.

"Let's wait two more years. I only need two years. After two years..." Lu Shaohua muttered to himself.

Two years later, Lu Shaohua was confident that he could increase his wealth to a terrifying level in another two years. As for how to increase it, Lu Shaohua did not say it out loud. He hid the plan deep in his heart and would start when the time was right.

Come to think of it, many of Lu Shaohua's plans were not spoken out loud first, but kept in his heart. He would speak them out when he got close, start planning in advance, and then implement them in one go, and ultimately achieve what he expected.

But God did not let Lu Shaohua continue thinking. When Lu Shaohua was immersed in his inner thoughts, the phone in his villa suddenly rang, bringing Lu Shaohua back to reality. After answering the phone, he did not say anything, but listened carefully to the voice of the person calling.

……

……

"I'll be there right away." Lu Shaohua didn't say anything more after listening to the phone call. He just said it lightly, but his face was full of joyful smile, as if there was another happy event.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua stood up from the sofa and shouted, "Brother Li, get ready to take off. We're going to Shenzhen right away."

Lu Shaohua did not call the wrong person. He called him Brother Li, that is, Li Shangkui. After more than a month of recuperation, Li Shangkui and others had been discharged from the hospital and returned to Lu Shaohua to serve as bodyguards. Their lives returned to normal.

Li Shangkui received Lu Shaohua's instructions and without saying much, he immediately arranged for the special plane to take off and quickly gave orders to others.

The special plane had just arrived in Hong Kong not long ago, and it was about to start its first flight, oh no, it was its second flight. It was really a bit rushed, but this did not affect Lu Shaohua's mood. Lu Shaohua had seen the appearance of the special plane, but had never tried to sit in it. Lu Shaohua was eager to try it as soon as possible.

Now, the opportunity has come. Lu Shaohua can finally experience the feeling of flying in the sky on a private plane. Coupled with the news brought over by phone, it is a double happiness, making Lu Shaohua feel even more happy.

However, a private plane is not like a helicopter that can take off at any time. It needs a runway in the middle. It cannot fly without a runway. Fortunately, Lu Shaohua moved to a new residence. The villa occupies a large space, not to mention the yard outside, which is very long and large. The road in the middle can not only be used as a driveway, but also as a runway for the aircraft to take off. Both can be used for simultaneous use.

The new special plane has its own characteristics. Unlike the large passenger planes of civil aviation, it has been modified by technicians in Africa so that the special plane does not need to taxi on the runway for a long time before taking off. This allows the road outside Lu Shaohua's villa to be used normally.

Takeoff requires a runway, so what about landing? Landing also requires a runway, but there is also a long avenue over at the Phoenix Base, which is rectangular and can fully meet the taxiing needs of the special plane when it lands. Therefore, Lu Shaohua is not worried at all that the special plane cannot land.

Lu Shaohua had already thought about the take-off and landing issues of the special plane. Only after he had thought about it and was sure that it could be used normally did Lu Shaohua dare to let Li Shangkui prepare for take-off and set off for Shenzhen.

Everyone around Lu Shaohua has their own characteristics. They can all fly a helicopter, a passenger plane or a special plane. This also includes the thirty bodyguards who have just come from Africa not long ago. They also have the ability to fly planes. Li Shangkui's status is still the same as before. He is the captain of the entire team of bodyguards and a leader. He has also already determined who will drive the plane.

So, when Lu Shaohua gave the order to prepare for takeoff, not long after, all the bodyguards were ready. Two pilots got on the special plane, started the engine, and prepared for takeoff, while the others quickly cordoned off the passage from the villa entrance to the place where the special plane was parked to protect Lu Shaohua's safety.

Lu Shaohua's current identity is different from before. He is no longer the chairman of Phoenix Group hidden behind the scenes, but is public. Since it is public, it means that Lu Shaohua is in certain potential danger. No matter when, Lu Shaohua's personal safety may be threatened. Therefore, when Lu Shaohua is about to go out, the bodyguards dare not be negligent and stand in position to prevent blind spots.

Lu Shaohua walked out of the villa. He had long been accustomed to the situation outside. It had happened more than once or twice, so he didn't care. He walked straight to the gate of the special plane, boarded it, and then turned around and nodded.

Lu Shaohua nodded, indicating the departure. The bodyguards did not stop. Eight of them followed Lu Shaohua onto the special plane. The others ran towards the four helicopters, boarded them, and took off quickly. Two were in the front and two followed behind.

There are certain differences between helicopters and special planes. For example, the flying altitude of a helicopter is limited, while the flying altitude of a special plane is basically the same as that of a civil aircraft, reaching 30,000 feet.

This has to be said to be a loophole of Lu Shaohua, a loophole that Lu Shaohua had never thought of. Lu Shaohua originally planned to use a helicopter to escort the special plane, but from the current situation, the helicopter cannot provide escort.

After all, the difference in altitude means that if the special plane encounters a situation, the helicopter cannot rise to a shoulder-to-shoulder altitude to escort it.

After getting on the special plane, Lu Shaohua observed the layout inside the plane, looked around, and took everything in. Then he sat down in the cabin that was no different from the room, waiting for the special plane to take off.

Soon, the special plane successfully rose into the sky and entered the upper deck. On one side of the cabin, there was a nearly 30-inch display screen hanging. The display screen can be used as a TV and can also be connected to the situation in the special plane's control cabin.

At this time, the display screen was connected to the control cabin, and the picture transmitted was the image in front of the special plane, but Lu Shaohua did not find the shadow of the helicopter. After thinking about it, he reacted and realized the problem.

"Ah!" Lu Shaohua sighed, thinking that he had miscalculated. "It looks like the helicopter can't be used anymore."

The helicopter cannot provide escort and is completely useless. Lu Shaohua certainly doesn't want that. What if something happens to the special plane? If something happens like the 9/11 incident in the United States, where someone hijacks the special plane and it collides with it, his personal safety will be threatened.

"No, this problem must be solved." Lu Shaohua vowed secretly.

Yes, this problem is a fatal loophole. If it is not filled, Lu Shaohua will never be able to feel at ease sitting in the special plane.

If there are loopholes, they must be filled, but how?

The problem is how to make up for it. Lu Shaohua wants to make up for it, but he also has to think of a way to do it!

"How can I make up for it?" Lu Shaohua asked himself secretly.

Helicopters cannot fly high, so they are ruled out. However, Lu Shaohua cannot get another plane like a special plane over, which makes Lu Shaohua feel embarrassed.

……

"Ah!" Lu Shaohua sighed, his brain still spinning. As he was thinking, a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind, and a piece of information appeared in Lu Shaohua's mind. Lu Shaohua naturally patted his thigh and muttered to himself. "Why didn't I think of this?"

Lu Shaohua suddenly thought of a suitable target - fighter jets. Fighter jets can fly at high altitudes, and not only that, they also have powerful strike capabilities. They can be said to be the best choice for escort. However, another problem arises. Fighter jets have strike capabilities, but which country is willing to see private fighter jets flying in their airspace?

Therefore, solving this problem is the top priority at present. Only when the country allows Lu Shaohua's private fighter to fly in the sky can Lu Shaohua's goal be achieved.
