People who have not experienced that era may feel that "whether a movie is allowed to be released" to judge the direction of certain foreign relations, and even decide whether to contact overseas relatives whom they once dare not contact is a bit incredible.

But Gu Ao, who is integrated into this environment, has become accustomed to this style of conduct.

From 1980 to 1982, the whole society had this tone. Everyone only dared to do it vigorously and did not speak out in a high-profile manner. Being pragmatic is much safer than being innocent.

If you have nothing to do, don’t write a few summaries, just make a fortune in silence.

After making all the preparations before departure, on Monday, Gu Ao and his five-member team finally set off.

The flight takes off directly from Beijing Airport, China Airlines is more grand than Gu Ao's departure from Xiangjiang last year, and there is no need to refuel in Anchorage, Alaska.

Because the model is Boeing 747, the first aircraft in China. This aircraft was just bought by the Civil Aviation Administration in February this year, and it has been debugged/trained/run-in for several months. It has just been put into use before the summer vacation.

When I bought it, it was a landmark show of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. It was specially used to fly between Beijing and New York, and it could go directly to the United States without refueling. Because it was expensive, it was naturally the only one, which was posing and operating at a loss.

The route is also very strange. You have to fly from Beijing to Hujiang, then transfer across the ocean to stop in Seattle, and finally stop in New York. This is to allow passengers from Beijing and Shanghai to take the flight and fill the plane a little.

...

"What a big plane, there are such a big plane in the world?!" Ma Feng was shocked when he was waiting in the terminal.

He had been on the plane with a letter of introduction from the provincial department, but before that, they were all small planes on domestic flights, and in comparison, he felt that the Boeing 747 was huge.

Wen Ying and Li Lianjie have never been on a plane. They may not be able to feel the contrast, but the heroic feeling of witnessing history is not inferior at all.

"Follow Brother Gu, you will gain insight!"

As the boarding time approached, the bridge at the boarding gate opened, and Ma Feng and others followed Gu Ao, walking forward like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.

Terminal 1 of Capital Airport is also the first terminal in China with a boarding bridge.

Before this, all airports in China had to board the plane by electric vehicles ferrying on the apron. At smaller airports, there was no shuttle bus, so you could only walk through the apron and board the gangway. (If you are a national leader, you can drive the Red Flag car directly to the gangway, and the minister has to walk through the apron)

The reason why Terminal 1 built a boarding bridge is to cooperate with the use of Boeing 747. Before that, there has never been a plane in China with such a high gate height, and all gangways are not suitable.

I was also afraid that the big guys would be afraid of heights and unsafe when walking on such a high gangway, so I specially provided such a terminal building.

I walked onto the plane along the bridge. As soon as I stood firm, two flight attendants were greeting each other, smiling.

The waiter's appearance was also one in a hundred, and his aesthetic taste was quite good at that time. And he was very respectful to his breath and concentration, his waist and chest.

"Chief, how much is your seat? I'll help you take the seat." The two waiters bowed to Gu Ao and Ma Feng respectively.

Gu Ao accepted it calmly, but Ma Feng was shocked.

"No, no, I'm not a leader! I'm following Brother Gu... the escort, to the escort." Ma Feng waved his hands and left them clear, pointing at Gu Ao at a loss.

Gu Ao couldn't help laughing and poked his elbow: "What are you anxious about? If you ask where you are, you can answer first."

However, the waiter had already recognized the situation and concentrated on serving Gu Ao: "Chief Gu, where are you sitting?"

"d04, a few of them are behind."

"d04...that's first class! Please come with me." The female flight attendant was slightly surprised and led Gu Ao to the seat even more diligently.

When Gu Ao bought tickets, he was not short of buying first-class cabins. The key is that the level is not allowed.

In principle, Air China's overseas flights are subject to economic class at the county and department level, and only the department level is allowed to take first class. Gu Ao relies on the introduction letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to buy first class for himself, but it is too arrogant and eye-catching.

Be low-key, be low-key.

Moreover, buying high-end cabins rashly is also a advantage for the country, and it is not nice to say it.

Nowadays, if you take an American Airlines flight at the same distance, you will need at least US$200 to US$300 for air tickets, so in fact, Air China has to charge more than 2,000 yuan to make a return based on the market exchange rate.

But at that time, the country had a very high official exchange rate of RMB. In order to show that "our money for flying to the United States is similar to that of flying to Xiangjiang in the United States", the civil aviation forced the price of the trans-ocean air ticket to RMB 700 according to the official exchange.

This means that every time you sell a piece, the actual net loss of 1,500 yuan is 1,500 yuan, and every trip is required to pay back the government, which is similar to bloodletting.

That's why I said that the only Boeing 747 in China is an image project that is crazy to lose money and gain publicity. It only takes two round trips a week, and anyway, it will be even more empty if there are more.

In this case, if you buy first class cabin when you pre-order your ticket, it is only more than 200 yuan more expensive than economy class, and the total price is 900 yuan. If you get on the plane and then temporarily get the first class cabin because the first class is not full, you will have to pay an extra 800 yuan to upgrade.

The difference here is actually equivalent to "after the director minus the director, the difference between the official positions of the two is worth 600 yuan." At the same time, it secretly safeguards the dignity of the official exchange rate of the RMB.

Therefore, Gu Ao would rather pay more than leave a handle on taking advantage of it.

After sitting down, he casually ordered the attendant to take the seat: "Lesbian, if the first class is not full when the cabin is closed later, I will add more money to my secretary and bodyguard to upgrade the cabin, and you can help me. Of course, if it is full, forget it."

"Okay, I will help you implement it as soon as possible. I will definitely be dissatisfied with the first class." The waitress bowed deeply. She felt a warm and drunkenness.

Because this plane is unhappy every time, especially the first class cabin. After taking off, you add more money to upgrade the cabin, which means you are actively spending your own money (at least the money of your unit, but it is generally not reimbursed), reducing losses for the country.

What a great and selfless feat.

"This young leader is so kind, and he is so considerate of the country... and he is so young that he actually has a secretary and bodyguard." She was so moved in her heart.

Because the airplane does not turn on the air conditioner before starting, it is the hottest time at the end of July, and the cabin is almost like a steamer. When boarding the plane, everyone will be given a folding fan with the words "China Civil Aviation" printed on it. This is a tip and makes people cool down by themselves.

Gu Ao looked very stylish and handsome. After finishing the work, the waitress stood behind him as soon as she got out of the room and gently fanned him, just like an ancient palace maid who had fanned her.

After a while, the plane locked the cabin door and was officially ready to take off. The air conditioner also started. The waitress confirmed that no one else had upgraded the cabin and completed the procedures as soon as possible and invited Xiao Sui, Ma Feng and others to the first class.

As for Gu Ao who spent 3,000 yuan more, he certainly didn't take it seriously.

The first time I took the horse to go abroad to gain knowledge, I can’t be afraid of spending a small amount of money.

Gu Ao put away his deputy between the two seats, hugged Xiao Sui's waist openly, and then casually taught Ma Feng, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle:

"Fengzi, you should pay attention to the speech when you come out next time. You just said 'I am Brother Gu's escort', so you are not right. The escort' is also a first-level professional title for diplomats, including escort, three secrets, two secrets, one secrets, counselors, ministers... They are serious state cadres at the level of the department. What kind of escort are you? You are not from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Ma Feng couldn't help but blush with shame: "Brother Gu, I'm sorry! I've never seen the world. I was scared by someone who called me "Chief". I will definitely pay attention in the future! From now on, I will say it's your follower."

Gu Ao nodded kindly: "That's right. It's not that I'm picking you, it's because I'm afraid that you can't tell the difference between speaking and going outside to offend people..."

"Brother Gu, you don't need to explain! I know you are for my own good. I am your younger brother. Who will teach me if you don't teach me a lesson? You can't really make mistakes and let outsiders laugh at me." Ma Feng's posture was very upright.

Wen Ying and Li Lianjie naturally couldn't even speak the same word. They could only take out a small notebook to record these common sense while nodding frequently.

As the plane took off, Gu Ao pulled the blanket and started to rest. It took 18 hours to fly, so it would be better to keep your energy. (Because you have to go to Hujiang and dock for another 2 hours, so it's slow)

I don’t know how long it took, but the waitress pushed the cart and approached softly. She looked at Gu Ao with squinted eyes and did not dare to show her vigor. She could only shrank and asked Xiao Sui softly: “Madam, is the leader asleep?”

Xiao Sui smiled indifferently: "It's okay, he's just like that."

Then he touched Gu Ao with his elbow.

"What's up?"

"Chief, do you want Maotai? Drink a little bit to help you sleep." The waitress shook the bottle of wine in her hand and a mini high-legged glass.

"No, I have a good rest. I'm not used to drinking white wine in the middle of summer." Gu Ao declined warmly.

"Then give you Coke? Or Red Boy Orange Water?"

The waitress asked about pouring a glass of Coke, grabbed a handful of fruit candy and placed it on the board in front of Gu Ao's seat. Finally, she handed him a box of 5 packs of "White-Haired Girl" brand cigars.

The waitress of the cigarette didn't ask him if he wanted it. All the customers defaulted to send a box, including women, who could take it back without smoking. Even Moutai, if someone wanted to take it away, they could bring a bottle.

Ma Feng and Li Lianjie have never seen cigars produced in China. They are very curious. They are not addicted to smoking, so they are ready to order one.

"Don't dismantle it, remove my box, one by one, and then don't suck it anymore. Be careful, ma'am." Gu Ao didn't want to save everyone's pleasure, so he agreed to take one and let them take the whole pack back as a souvenir.

At the same time, the flight attendant had already pushed the car behind. A few passengers were very careful about the fruit candy plate and grabbed the Maotai with a lot of wine.
