Chapter: 1278
Hong Wu also immediately knelt down, paying utmost respect: "Young Master, even before you rescued me from the Wu family's henchmen, my life had already become yours!"
The public service aircraft of the Ye family rose into the air in the darkness, moving at an extremely fast speed towards Changbai Mountain!
This aircraft's speed was indeed much faster than that of general planes, and even Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement - it was no wonder why the Ye family could remain at the pinnacle of Chinese aristocracy. From this detail alone, one can tell.
In major cities across the country, they had arranged for such aircraft to ensure that a family member could reach a crisis situation before others, as long as they could get there first and seize the initiative - which would give them the possibility of winning.
Ye Zekai told Ye Chen: "Young Master, the Ye family actually has another plane that's even faster. However, this plane is one-of-a-kind and was stored by Old Master at Yanjing Airport."
"Oh?" Ye Chen asked curiously: "Is there a plane that's even faster than this?"
"Yes!" Ye Zekai nodded: "You may or may not have heard of the Concord aircraft? Many years ago, the French developed a supersonic passenger plane. This type of plane can reach speeds of twice the speed of sound, with a cruising speed of 2150 km per hour."
Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise: "I've heard of the Concord aircraft, but isn't it an old model that's already been retired?"
Ye Zekai said: "It retired from the public eye, but that was because this plane is too fast, too expensive to fly, and too noisy when breaking through the sound barrier. Ordinary people just couldn't afford it. However, after retirement, four of the best-conditioned aircraft were bought by the world's top aristocratic families. After being bought, these planes have been receiving top-notch maintenance and upkeep ever since."
Ye Chen was astonished.
He had never thought that his grandfather would have such a huge influence, specifically buying one Concord aircraft for himself.
However, this also shows the extraordinary vigor of older entrepreneurs.
No matter how expensive one Concord aircraft may be, it has its presence, and my grandfather can outdo others by two to three times at critical moments.
Ordinary public service planes can only fly at a speed of around 800-900 kilometers per hour, but a Concord-style aircraft can reach 2.5 times that!
If there's a $10 billion order waiting to be signed in the United States, whoever gets it first will get this order, and Ye family would definitely be the only choice.
Others' planes need to fly for eleven or twelve hours, while this plane only needs about five hours, which means they haven't arrived yet when I've already signed a contract.
Two hours later, Ye Chen's plane had landed at Changbai Mountain Airport.
At this time, on one side of the runway, a helicopter was already waiting here.
After getting off the plane, Ye Chen asked Chen Zekai: "Help me ask the airport if Wu family's private aircraft has arrived here."
Chen Zekai quickly made a phone call and, after a brief moment, he looked at Ye Chen with admiration: "Young master, you're indeed prophetic, the air traffic control just received an application from a private aircraft, which will arrive here in about an hour."
Satisfied, Ye Chen nodded slightly: "An hour's time advantage is already sufficient, let's go see the scenery at Changbai Mountain's foot!"
Then, he stepped into the helicopter that had been waiting for a long time.
Chen Zekai, Hong Wu, and Wei Liang also boarded the aircraft in turn.
The helicopter took off immediately, heading towards Changbai Mountain's foot and flying quickly away.
At this time, it was around 4 am, since it was winter, there were no signs of dawn yet. JrNovels.com
