There is no rush when it comes to aircraft. The production of business aircraft and private aircraft follows orders. In other words, the aircraft manufacturer will organize production only after receiving the order.
Even if Sun Dahai places an order now, under normal circumstances it will take one to two years for the aircraft to be produced and rolled off the production line. After test flights and personalized decoration, it will still take two years to get it.
Sun Dahai will hand over the matter of ordering aircraft to Chen Xi's team. Citibank really has a great advantage in this regard.
Sun Dahai still took good care of Chen Xi's customer service team. The bank account of Jiahua Investment Company Americas was opened at the Citibank headquarters, and it was counted towards the deposit collection task completed by Chen Xi and others.
The Learjet-55LR executive aircraft, of which LR is a long-range type, has a maximum range of 5,000 kilometers and can basically provide direct flights between major airports in the United States.
The standard version of the Lear-55LR is priced at US$5.35 million. As a business aircraft provided to company executives in the United States, Sun Dahai has no special requirements for aircraft performance and interior decoration. It is estimated that the final price will not be higher than the standard price.
There will be a lot of changes.
Everyone was chatting energetically when Chen Feng and the others walked out of the conference room. The first meeting of Garrison Ranch management ended with this.
Because we are on vacation, many things cannot continue. We simply don’t care about it. We will spend the vacation comfortably first and let’s talk about other things after the vacation.
Tonight, the town will organize a buffet barbecue party in the central square. Everyone has finished talking about it, so we decided to go together.
American parties have become a cultural tradition. Starting from the formation of self-awareness, various parties will accompany Americans throughout their lives.
There is a fee for the evening party. $3.99 for ladies, $5.99 for gentlemen. Children under 12, and seniors over 60, admission is $1 per person.
You can eat all kinds of barbecued food at will, and there are volunteer chefs to help with the ingredients. Of course, if someone thinks they are good at cooking, they can also barbecue by themselves.
Everyone can get a glass of beer or drink after entering, but if you want to refill or want other drinks, you need to pay extra.
The prices of alcoholic beverages are not high, just the normal market prices, because the person who sponsors the alcoholic beverages is none other than Evan Turner, the owner of the only supermarket in Celias Town.
During the Independence Day event, all the ingredients, condiments and free beer drinks came from various sponsors. Especially the ingredients, which are all products from the surrounding ranches, are really not worth a few bucks.
Several ranches fought fiercely with each other. In the end, the respected Joseph stepped in to mediate and appease everyone.
Although the town of Celias is small and has a small population, the relationship between them is still very good. The admission fee for the barbecue party will be distributed to the school and clinic in proportion, becoming a benefit for the residents of the town.
When Sun Dahai and the others arrived in the town, the lights were already on. The central square was crowded with people, and there was smoke and smoke all around, making it very lively.
The workers in the ranch also drove with everyone. Now there are only Mr. and Mrs. Lockegier on the ranch, with a few workers staying behind.
Sun Dahai and others, led by Joseph, Ente and others, paid money and entered the central square.
There are estimated to be hundreds of people in the square now, and dozens of barbecue grills are lined up in several rows. BBQ is very popular in the United States, and every house has at least one or two sets of barbecue equipment.
The barbecue grills on the square now were all lent by people in the town to support this event. Most of them are charcoal-burning grills, and a small number are electric grills.
Montana is located in the Midwest of the United States, in the Rocky Mountains. It is deep inland, and seafood is almost extinct at barbecue parties, but there is a lot of meat to eat, including pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and whole rabbits and deer.
Pork jerky and even trout strips.
Didn’t it mean that Americans don’t eat freshwater fish?
Chen Feng did some homework before coming to the United States. He quietly asked Joseph and got an unexpected answer.
In the 1930s and 1940s, the United States vigorously developed industry and manufacturing, but neglected environmental protection. As a result, most rivers and lakes were polluted by industrial wastewater, and the chemical composition of underwater soil seriously exceeded standards.
Therefore, the American government has enacted laws prohibiting the consumption of freshwater aquatic products.
However, Joseph proudly said that our place is in the Rocky Mountains, next to Yellowstone National Park, and is basically free from industrial pollution, so the grilled trout here has been preserved.
Only then did Sun Dahai remember that trout is one of the few freshwater fishes acceptable to Europeans and Americans. French grilled trout with lemon juice is also a famous dish in French cuisine.
Sun Dahai has always believed that what Europeans and Americans say about nutrition or pollution is nonsense. The key is that they don't know how to cook fish at all.
Freshwater aquatic products have a strong fishy smell, and without proper cooking skills and methods, they will not be delicious even if they are cooked.
In addition, the knives and forks that Europeans and Americans are accustomed to using when dining cannot help them deal with the fine spines in fish. Therefore, when they eat fish, they basically eat fish with more meat and fewer spines, and they almost only eat fish strips and fish pieces.
, almost all the thorny parts are removed.
There was a table next to the grill with many ingredients placed on it. Sun Dahai also took an empty plate and picked from a wide variety of ingredients to find what he liked and prepare it for grilling.
Americans’ barbecue skills have been honed over time, which is related to their fanatical love for BBQ.
Almost every American man will find an opportunity to show off his hands at a barbecue party, as if if he doesn't do this, he won't attract the attention of the opposite sex.
However, their handling of the ingredients was really rough. Sun Dahai saw with his own eyes that a large piece of bloody venison was brushed with oil and placed on the rack for roasting. After a while, on the meat
Sprinkle a layer of salt and it's done.
Seeing him cutting the venison with a knife, there were still blood streaks inside. Sun Dahai just wanted to ask him, can venison and steak be the same? Don’t you think the fishy smell is too strong when you eat it like this? This is what it means to drink blood like a hair, right?
The ladies were not shy at the barbecue party either. They brought all kinds of vegetables and fruits and grilled them however they wanted. After grilling, they had to smear a layer of messy sauce on them. I really didn’t know what would happen in the end.
smell.
However, this is the American barbecue culture. Everyone does it themselves. What is eaten is not important. What is important is that everyone participates.
Chen Feng and Battelle found two empty grills and started grilling food for everyone. Both of them were very good at grilling.
It's just that there are no condiments they are familiar with on site, and some ingredients should have been processed in advance. Now there is no way but to make do.
