The Concorde was once the only turbojet-powered supersonic airliner in the world that was truly put into commercial operation.Many young people might not know about this aircraft at all, but they would have to admit that this aircraft had left a very strong impression in the history of civil aviation.Based on the development of human science and technology over the past few decades, an interesting phenomenon could be discovered, and that was that people had been relatively conservative in the development of science and technology over the recent years.However, during the Cold War era from the 1960s to the 1980s, it was the golden age where science and technology seemed to thrive, and it had developed widely and rapidly.The people from that era had also shown unprecedented enthusiasm and radicalism in the field of science and technology. During the era when the computing powers of computers were not as great as a learning machine, the Soviet Union had sent astronauts to space,
The phone call was immediately connected after ringing twice.Jeremiah asked happily, “Charlie, why did you suddenly think of calling me today?”Charlie went straight to the topic as he said, “I need to ask you for a favor.”Jeremiah replied without any hesitation, “Oh! Why do you need to be so polite with your own grandfather? You can just tell me if there is anything you need. As long as it is within my abilities, I will certainly go all out to help you!”Charlie replied, “I have to go to Lebanon immediately to deal with an urgent matter. I heard that you own a Concorde. So, I would like to borrow it.”“Borrow the Concorde?” Jeremiah hesitated for a moment. After a short while, he smiled and said, “Charlie, if you want to borrow a private jet, I own a very, very luxurious Boeing business jet. I spent more than one hundred million US dollars just on the internal modification of the jet alone. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a palace in the sky. Should I lend tha
In Jeremiah’s eyes, Charlie was a person that he had to fight hard to win over.Leaving Charlie’s powerful and incredible strength aside, Jeremiah was already looking forward to Charlie’s official return to the Wade family simply because of the marriage contract between Charlie and Quinn, combined with the firm and willing attitude that the Golding family had to fulfill and abide by the marriage contract.The money that he had made by engaging in trade and businesses would have to be gathered and accumulated one after the other. However, a sum of money that Charlie could make for the Wade family simply by marrying a woman would be equivalent to adding tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars worth of property and assets overnight for the Wade family.Yule only had one daughter, and that was Quinn. Hence, everyone knew that as long as anyone were to marry Quinn, he would be able to inherit the entire Golding family.Jeremiah had already wanted to surpass the Schulz family since
Charlie felt very moved in his heart, and he said softly, “My dear wife, to be honest, I really do not want to leave right now either. However, the customer this time is a regular customer of mine, and I really cannot turn him down.”Having said that, Charlie paused slightly before he continued, “Wife, why don’t we do this instead? I promise you that I will not accept any new requests for the next month after I am done with the job this time!”The reason why Charlie promised that he would not accept any request for one month was because it would be the Tomb Sweeping Festival slightly after a month, and he would have to go to Eastcliff to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony then. When the time came, he would definitely have to use Feng Shui as an excuse to explain things to Claire, then.When Claire, who was on the other end of the line, heard Charlie saying that he would not be accepting any Feng Shui jobs for one month, her mood finally eased up a little. She also spoke in
As soon as Charlie said that he wanted to head to the airport, Isaac subconsciously asked, “Young Master, you want to go now?”Charlie blurted out, “What else are we waiting for if I am not going to set off now? I estimate that the plane has already taken off. It will arrive at the Aurous Airport in more than twenty minutes. If the helicopter is a little slower, the Concorde might even arrive before us.”At this time, Isaac finally came to his senses as he smiled awkwardly and said, “Yes, yes, that’s right. I forgot that the Concorde is extremely fast. Please wait a moment. I will arrange for the helicopter to prepare for takeoff, then.”After he was done speaking, Isaac picked up the walkie-talkie on the table before he blurted out, “The helicopter crew should prepare and get ready immediately. We will be taking off to head to the Aurous Airport in five minutes!”Very soon, Charlie could hear the sound of the helicopter engine starting coming from the rooftop.Isaac hurriedly sai
A few minutes later, the helicopter that Charlie was in arrived at the Aurous Airport.The Concorde was parked at the end of the airport runway.The pilot spoke up at this time as he said, “Young Master, Chairman Cameron, the people from the airport gave us feedback saying that the Concorde is already prepared to take off. We can land directly next to the Concorde before boarding and taking off immediately!”“Okay!” Charlie nodded. He became more aware of the reason behind the success of many big and influential families, and a large part of it was because of the support and guarantee behind the success.If ordinary people wanted to go to Syria according to the conventional route, it would take them at least twenty-four hours from the moment they boarded the plane.However, with such a complete support system, the time taken to arrive in Syria could be reduced to nearly six hours.The eighteen-hour difference might not seem like a big deal during any ordinary time, and it would b
Yolden would never have dreamt that Charlie was already prepared to head to Syria!His original intention in calling Charlie was not to ask for his help either. This was because he felt that Charlie would not be able to help him in any way either. After all, his daughter was currently in Syria, which was six to seven thousand kilometers away from him, and she was also in the hands of the opposition force who were heavily armed with military equipment.Under this kind of situation, even the Syrian government would not be able to help in any way. So, he never would have thought that Charlie would be able to help him.The reason why Yolden was making this call to Charlie was simply to give him an update about the latest situation. So, when he heard Charlie saying that he was already prepared to head to Syria, he was shocked and completely at a loss for words.After a short while, he subconsciously asked, “Charlie, you… how are you going to get to Syria? No civil aviation is connecte
Yolden did not know of Charlie’s plan.When he heard that Charlie was planning to use money to solve the problem, he was a little relieved.He had originally hoped that the United States Embassy would be willing to pay for the ransom. However, the United States Embassy seemed to have a very firm and determined attitude, and they did not give the opposition force room for any negotiations at all.Now that Charlie was willing to pay the ransom in their place, Yolden felt that as long as the opposition force’s core demands were met, they would naturally honor their promise.So, he was very grateful as he said to Charlie, “Charlie, I will have to leave everything to you, then!”Charlie smiled slightly as he said, “Uncle Hart, you don’t have to worry. The plane is about to takeoff, so I will not continue talking to you anymore.”Yolden quickly replied, “Okay, okay. I will wait for your safe return, then!”After hanging up the phone, Charlie was already seated in the Concorde. Both Ch
