Chapter 876 What Petrov Saw

"Our house is allocated by the company. If we serve the company for 15 years, the house will belong to us." Petrov came to Alexander's home.

"Is everything here decorated before?" Petrov looked at the spacious living room, which had a huge floor-to-ceiling glass. You can see that there is heating and air conditioning in the room.

Alexander nodded: "As long as you pass the induction training, you can get a house. My family has many people, so the house is larger, so my service period is five years longer than others!"

Petrov looked at the oak wooden floor and each bathroom had a bathtub.

"People in some Eastern countries don't really like bathtubs. They prefer to take a bath in the bathroom outside. I'll take you there in winter. It's so cool."

"That's the school!"

"That's the bus stop!"

Petrov met Alexander's parents again. They were familiar with each other.

Petrov looked at the spacious bedroom and thought of the decoration of his own house. He should have renovated it, but he didn't have enough money.

For a pilot, long-distance travel is actually nothing, especially for an elite pilot like Petrov.

The next morning, Petrov went out with Alexander to have breakfast.

Right at the entrance of the community, there were all kinds of breakfasts, steamed buns, porridge, dumplings, soy milk, fried dough sticks, fried noodles, and tofu brain.

"It's strange that I'm allergic to peanuts in our country, but I'm not allergic to peanuts in some Eastern countries." Alexander asked for a bowl of peanut porridge and said while eating.

The porridge in this restaurant provides spoons and chopsticks. Alexander used chopsticks, while Petrov used spoons.

Petrov was not sure what he liked to eat, so he asked for a fried dough stick and a steamed bun.

Petrov's staple food used to be pasta, and he rarely ate rice because Westerners generally didn't know how to cook rice, and the rice they cooked was half-cooked rice.

Only two grown men came out for breakfast, and the others were still at home.

After breakfast, Alexander took Petrov to the nearby vegetable market.

I saw beef, mutton, seafood, fish, pork, and many unfamiliar vegetables in the vegetable market.

In addition, there were finished products in the vegetable market.

Petrov looked at the freshly cooked chicken feet, pig feet, and duck feet.

He looked at the place where meat was sold, selling all kinds of internal organs, and Alexander's words surprised Petrov a little. The price of some internal organs was more expensive than meat.

Then the two took the bus to Wanjiafu Supermarket.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods in the supermarket, and there were many people.

It completely overturned Petrov's impression of some countries in the East.

Because there are not so many goods in the supermarkets in his own country.

In the past, his country implemented a planned economy, and many things were planned.

And here, you can buy whatever you want, all kinds of wine, all kinds of cigarettes, and all kinds of cosmetics, a dazzling array of toys.

Seeing these cosmetics, Petrov felt a little guilty about his lover. If his lover came to this place, he would definitely be reluctant to leave.

There are also many children playing in the special children's playground, which makes Petrov very envious. If he works here, his children should be happy to come here.

At noon, he ate a plate of fried noodles in the supermarket. Petrov felt that this was one of the most delicious things he had ever eaten, with meat, eggs, and vegetables.

In the evening, Alexander invited Petrov to eat roast duck again.

At this time, he drank less wine. To be honest, Petrov still wanted to drink, but he thought that he would not be allowed to drink at work in the future, so he restrained himself.

On the third day, Alexander brought Petrov to his company.

The company's management was very happy. Of course, the technical level of these pilots of Fei Xiong was beyond words. The only thing was to limit the free use of these pilots' skills.

Because these pilots fly civil aircraft, they wish they were like fighter jets.

"Mr. Petrov, welcome to our company. First of all, we have to confirm that we provide better and higher-quality services to passengers. Therefore, when taking off and landing, our first priority is safety, and the second priority is stability. If the passenger complaint rate is too high, then the pilot will face points and salary deductions!" The company's supervisor first talked to Petrov about future work.

Petrov nodded: "I will do as the company requires."

"Very good, the second point is that drinking is strictly prohibited while working. We will conduct alcohol tests on crew members while working." The supervisor spoke again.

"I will abide by the company's rules."

"Before joining our company, you must first undergo training. During the training period, we sign a temporary employment contract. After completing all the training and passing the qualification, we can sign a formal employment contract."

"During the training period, we will pay wages according to the basic salary."

"After successfully joining the company, if your children and lover are willing to come to our country, we will start to solve it."

Petrov heard this and hesitated and said: "I also need to ask for leave from the base!"

"Of course."

Petrov asked for leave through a long-distance call, but he didn't expect the leader to approve it directly without asking why.

Because the leaders of the base are thinking about what else can be sold.

To put it bluntly, there are only a few pitiful bullets in the guard guns in these bases. If something big happens, they will not work at all.

There are other fuels in the oil depot, and all that can be sold has been sold. Anyway, the relationship with the West is good now, and these planes will not take off.

As for the accounts reported to the higher authorities, it is unknown whether these planes have taken off. After all, a lot of expenses will be incurred after the plane takes off.

When Petrov was training, he found that there were pilots from the Fat Goose family here, and after a conversation, he found that they knew each other.

Petrov was a little absent-minded: there are still Fat Goose in his country, and these elite pilots have left, so who will fly the remaining fighters in the future? Will it be those rookies?

First of all, you have to learn Chinese, at least you have to understand the orders from the tower, and then the flight process.

All preparations before the C101 aircraft takes off must be carried out according to the operating manual.

Petrov devoted himself to the training.

After half a month, they started to use the simulator, and the performance of these elite pilots was excellent.

What made Petrov feel uncomfortable was quitting smoking and drinking.

Smoking and drinking were not allowed during work, so Petrov fell in love with a kind of lemon lollipop!

This is also the experience summarized by many pilots. There are not only lemon flavors, but also Coca-Cola flavors, mint flavors, black tea flavors, green tea flavors, sweet orange flavors, and mango flavors.

And Petrov found that he was allergic to some things in his own country, but he was not allergic here.

A month later, Petrov began to train on the plane.

"Wow!" When Petrov used the fly-by-wire control for the first time, he couldn't help but exclaimed because it was too easy.

You know, the previous fighter jets not only had hinges, but also hydraulics, both of which require a lot of strength, so the physical fitness of the pilots is very high.

So in the past, the pilots were exhausted after flying once.

The advantages of the fly-by-wire control system are so obvious that it greatly increases the combat time of the pilots.

This is like driving a car and driving a tractor without power assistance. Driving a car can be driven for five or six hours, while driving a tractor without power assistance for two hours can make people tired to death.

After Liu Hai came back from Hainan, he also saw a number, that is, Fat Goose and Lao Er's family, this year a total of more than 60 elite pilots joined various airlines in our country.

In addition, there are some ground staff, most of these ground staff were sent to other countries after training.

At the same time, Liu Hai learned another piece of news, that is, Lao Er asked us again whether we want to buy their various types of aircraft, from transport aircraft to fighters to bombers.

These include An-22, An-124, and even An-225, Il-76, and Il-78.

In addition, there are White Swan and Backfire.

Because Lao Er's family can't afford so many things, let alone maintenance, even the staff salaries can't be taken out.

It is said that the pilots have not been paid for two months.

Lao Er tried to sell these to Europe, but was unanimously opposed by Bald Eagle and Fat Goose.

In addition, Gallic Chicken and Niu Niu are not interested in some of Lao Er's things, because the two sides are not originally the same system of things.

The most important thing is, like An-22 and An-124, where can I go for after-sales service? Do you want the second son to provide after-sales service for you?

The industrial system of the second son's family is completely ruined, and there is no after-sales service for these things after they are bought.

So the second son thought of the only country that needs these now, that is, some countries in the East. After all, the territory of some countries in the East is much larger than that of the Bull and the Gallic Rooster.

The higher authorities are actually a bit overwhelmed by these things, because how to provide after-sales service for these things after they are bought!

Do you want to buy related after-sales parts from the fat goose again?

So some countries in the East replied that they would not consider it for the time being because it is not convenient for after-sales service.

The fat goose took the opportunity to lower the price to the second son. The fat goose planned to buy 160 at a price of 50 million US dollars per plane, and buy ten of them.

Of course, the second son was unwilling. The original price was 160 million pounds per plane, and 10 planes would be 1.6 billion pounds, more than 2 billion US dollars.

You give me 500 million US dollars now, which is 3/4 less.

The second son replied directly and toughly, if you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't buy it, I will tear it into pieces and recycle it and sell it as scrap.

Gallic rooster, bull, and bald eagle. So he took the opportunity to propose to help Lao Er destroy these weapons and equipment, and give a certain amount of compensation.

Lao Er thought he was a hot commodity, but in fact, Fat Goose, Europe and Bald Eagle didn't want this guy in the middle to be too strong, which was not good for both parties.

Of course, Lao Er couldn't bear to destroy it, after all, it was worth several hundred million dollars.

Liu Hai knew that the time was not ripe yet, and he had to wait until Gallic rooster, bull, and bald eagle broke out in South America. It would be much easier to talk at that time.

Bald Eagle and Europe are competing for various markets in South America.

Obviously Europe is better because Europe has cheap goods from some Eastern countries.

In addition, dealers began to layout South America more than 20 years ago.

The development of various resources, wood, iron ore, gold, copper, lithium!

Some countries in the East have also quietly reached out and established one farm after another.

The Bald Eagle and Europe expressed tacit approval of the actions of certain countries in the East.

Because some countries in the East only enclose land to open farms and have no influence in the financial or political fields.

Fat Goose's economy has deteriorated again this year as crude oil prices hit another record low.

On the one hand, there is the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Babylon, which are frantically producing oil in order to repay their debts.

On the other hand, many large oil fields have been discovered in some eastern countries.

Fat Goose continues to want to continue building oil and gas pipelines with certain countries in the East. However, the last time oil prices rose, Fat Goose stopped the construction, so some countries in the East turned directly to Central Asia.

Even in Central Asia, some countries in the East are not in a hurry, because it will take several years for the Kingdom of Babylon and the Kingdom of Persia to repay their debts.

Even the income of camels and other oil-producing countries is affected. The oil-producing countries of camels, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, want to reduce production, but the Kingdom of Babylon and the Kingdom of Persia do not reduce production at all.

These two countries have said that if anyone proposes to cut production again, each of them will support us with tens of billions and spend it first. Our two countries owe so much debt.

In September 1993, San Dangjia and Fat Goose reached an aircraft carrier construction contract, with the total contract value reaching US$600 million.

And the third boss readily paid the money in advance and delivered the MiG-29 carrier-based aircraft including the aircraft carrier within four years.

Liu Hai smiled when he saw the news. In his previous life, the third master bought the aircraft carrier for one yuan, but it took many years to get it done.

In this time and space, I am afraid that the aircraft carrier will take longer.

Because Fat Goose's family is really short of money. Historically, Fat Goose only sold Su-27 fighter jets for tens of billions, but this time not only is it missing a potential buyer, but it is also missing an excellent fighter jet.

Besides, I want to buy an aircraft carrier and all the carrier-based aircraft on it for a mere US$600 million. Isn’t this a pipe dream?

However, the Third Master thought he had gotten a big bargain.

However, for these elites in Fat Goose’s family, a mere few hundred million dollars would be gone after everyone plucks them away.

Liu Hai just smiled at the news. What Liu Hai is more concerned about is this year's Olympic bid, which will be announced in a while.

Europe has accelerated the pace of integration, and the finance ministers of various countries have held closed-door meetings one after another.

This makes the bald eagle feel very tricky, but the bald eagle has no good way. Although the bald eagle can counter Europe, Europe can also counter the bald eagle.

The Bald Eagle Consortium has invested heavily in Europe, mainly in the Internet.

Europe is recognized as the center of the global Internet. Bald Eagle's move back then successfully made it independent from the global Internet. The total number of users of Bald Eagle's Internet now is only over 10 million. The main reason is that Bald Eagle is a vast country with few people and only the east and west. The coast is more densely populated, and Internet operating companies in the central and western regions simply do not have such a large cost to lay out networks.

On the contrary, it is the Internet center of Europe. According to expert predictions, the number of users will be close to 500 million by the end of this year. Just compare the volumes between the two.

Therefore, any countermeasures against Europe by Bald Eagle in other countries will be vetoed, because these consortiums are afraid that Europe will in turn impose sanctions on European consortiums in the Internet area.

This is like saying that Europe punched the bald eagle and wanted to fight back, but was stopped by his own family, saying that he couldn't fight, he couldn't fight, and he would have to pay for it.
