Before boarding the plane, Sophie smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect to fulfill my promise so soon. Are you going to fly around the world in the near future?"
Li Du spread his hands helplessly. "What can I do? Besides, isn't the theme to take parents on a trip? "
After returning from New York, he was ready for another long journey, this time to Australia.
Originally, Brother Wolf had taken Ivana to Australia for the second stage of the operation, but Li Du had to deal with the purchase of the island, so they went together.
In addition, Li Du's parents had never been to Australia. Although Sophie's parents had been there, that was nearly thirty years ago. Sophie had not been there since she was born, so he wanted to take her along.
It was December, and American universities had winter holidays. Both parents had time, so the itinerary was arranged smoothly.
Li Du's parents were quite happy. This time, they could not only go to the United States, but also to Australia. They could go out and see more, which was a pleasant surprise. They did not expect to go to the southern hemisphere.
"Not just the United States and Australia. Our itinerary is to fly to South Africa first, stay there for two or three days, and then fly to Sydney," Li Du said.
Li Du's father asked in surprise, "You're going to Africa? Isn't it hot there? "
"This season is not hot. Australia is hot," Li Du laughed.
Li Du's mother wondered, "Why do we have to stay in Africa for those days? Aren't we going to Australia? "
Li Du said, "Africa is a transit stop. Besides, you guys take a break. Flying from the United States to Australia is almost across the world. It's very tiring."
Li Du's mother shook her head. "Tiring? Just close your eyes and sleep on the plane. It's not tiring at all. "
Li Du said helplessly, "But Sophie's parents are tired. They are not like you two, who usually work at home when they have nothing to do. They have good physiques, but they are not."
He did not tell his parents the real reason for going to Africa or Australia. Of course, Sophie's parents did not know either.
The four elders simply thought that Li Du and Sophie were going on a honeymoon and were taking them with them.
There were a lot of people on this trip. Li Du had brought along his family of six, plus five pets, which made a total of 11 people. In addition to the bodyguards, Godzilla, and Hans, there were about 20 people in total.
Hans was going to Australia for a while. He wasn't going to play. He had to start harvesting black gold abalone.
Since there were many people with pets, Li Du rented a large plane, a Gulfstream G250.
This was the choice provided to him by * * * *. The Gulfstream G250 was a medium-sized commercial aircraft, but it had strong power comparable to a large commercial aircraft.
The plane was equipped with two Honeywell-HTF7250G turbofan engines that could climb to an initial cruising altitude of 41000 feet in 20 minutes.
It had a larger fuel tank than other planes of the same class, and its range was extended to 6,300 kilometers, so it was very suitable for intercontinental travel. In addition, its maximum cruising altitude could reach 13716 meters, which was also safer and rarely encountered bad weather.
Li Du was particularly interested in the space of the Gulfstream G250, which was by far the largest cabin space among the super-medium-sized business jets.
Compared with other business jets of the same class, the cabin space of the Gulfstream G250 was 17% to 35% larger. Li Du and the others had a lot of people and needed more space. A small plane would be too stifling.
In fact, if five children were excluded, there would be more than a dozen of them. The plane could accommodate up to 18 people, so the space was still quite spacious.
The plane entered the stratosphere and flew steadily. Bright sunlight shone in through the 19 oval windows, illuminating the interior of the plane.
Li Du's parents were sitting in the plane, and Li Du's mother said, "This is much better than the plane we took when we came to the United States. That plane was so big."
Li Du laughed. "Of course, that was a commercial flight. Ours is a private plane. The space is different, and the wait is different."
"Is the price different?" asked Li Du.
Li Du said vaguely, "It's okay. It's not very expensive, tens of thousands of dollars."
Li Du's mother nodded and felt that the price was not high. After all, there were so many of them.
In fact, renting the plane to Australia cost 120,000 dollars for a round trip, and Li Du had a * * * * * * palladium card, which gave him a discount.
Of course, the high price came in exchange for high-quality service. The plane had flight attendants to provide service. The flight attendants not only took care of their travel, but also prepared lunch, dinner, and drinks.
There was a small space in the front of the cabin with a wine cabinet. They could go there to drink. There was a large LCD TV hanging overhead, which could receive signals in real time.
Li Du waved for Sophie to come over for a chat. Sophie ignored him and stayed quietly in the seat with Ah Ow in her arms.
After flying to South Africa, Li Du let his parents rest there. He took Brother Wolf, three bodyguards, and Sophie to the border of South Africa and Mozambique.
This time, they were still riding in Lion Hunter's helicopter. Lion Hunter was very happy to see Li Du. He laughed and gave him a warm hug, saying it was great to see him again.
In the helicopter, the two talked about Remonin's recent situation. Lion Hunter said excitedly, "Now he has to change his name. He is called Commander Remonin. He controls the Southwest Military Region. In the future, he will become a big man who can influence the international situation. He is the light of our black people!"
Li Du secretly snorted and asked, "As far as I know, Remonin is now short of funds for development. He should have looked for you. Have you invested in him?"
Lion Hunter suddenly could not laugh. He said weakly, "I want to, but I don't have that much money."
He really did not have that much money, but he did not want to do so. Lion Hunter stayed in South Africa to make money. His ultimate goal was to emigrate to Northern Europe.
If he went to a place like Northern Europe, Remonin would not be able to help him no matter how powerful he became. It was better to save the money and invest in Northern Europe, which was safer.
He said happily, "Even if I did not invest in Commander Remonin, we will always be good friends. When we met, he did not have many guns in his hands. I helped him a lot at that time."
Li Du could tell that he was showing off, so he laughed and said, "If Remonin knew that you suggested to sell me a diamond worth 50 million dollars for five million dollars, I wonder if you would still be good friends."
Hearing this, Lion Hunter was silent.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly, looked at Li Du and said, "Mr. Li, I did this for your sake. You can't tell the truth to the general."
Although Li Du was the one who made the money, Remonin agreed to Li Du's offer after listening to Lion Hunter. So if there was a problem with the price, he would hate Lion Hunter even more.
It was Li Du's turn to laugh. He patted Lion Hunter on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Of course I won't talk nonsense. Don't worry, my mouth is very reliable."
