Chapter 1444: Good day

The magic city at the beginning of June already has the smell of summer. Because of a light rain last night, the air at Hongqiao Airport was moist and fresh. Tan Zhenhua took a deep breath greedily, then exhaled comfortably, feeling the breeze The wild flowers entrained mixed with the fragrance of the earth.
Today is a good day.
He raised his head, and on the runway not far away in his sight, a group of people were busy like hardworking worker ants, clustered beside a white plane.
It was a beautiful airplane with a round and slender figure, and the whole body was white, with only a blue waistline dotted from the nose to the tail. The towering tail was sprayed with a big red logo to show its identity C919.
And Tan Zhenhua’s first impression when he saw it was-like, so alike, the C919 in front of him is almost a replica of the
Yun 10
of the year, with only a small circle and two fewer engines.
The crowd started to evacuate in an orderly manner. After a while, only the plane was left on the scene. After a while, the two engines started one after another and made a huge roar, and the huge fuselage slowly It slid faster and faster, and then raised the nose of the machine, leaping into the blue sky!
The sun shines on its body, reflecting a colorful halo. It is like a white swan, spreading its wings against the sun, showing off its beautiful figure, gracefully, proud, confident and calmly unfolding it. Walk in the clouds for the first time.
So beautiful!
Tan Zhenhua's gaze is chasing the figure in the clouds, and his eyes are full of obsessive light, because he knows that it is not just an airplane that soars freely, but also the dream and hope, struggle and glory of generations of China Airlines!
...
Since it was the first test flight, the C919 only hovered in the sky a few times before returning to land. When it stopped steadily at the end of the runway, countless people cheered and rushed towards it. Tan Zhenhua was surprised to see that the first one rushed out. The person is actually Ma Fengshan.
This old man, who is over 60 years old, is like a child, laughing and jumping while running, his head full of white hair ups and downs with his running, like a group of white elves dancing in the wind.
Some young people passed by Ma Fengshan's side, one, two, three, more... Ma Fengshan suddenly stopped, shook his head gently, and reached out to wipe the corner of his eye. Tears, smiling at the corners of his mouth, stood in place, quietly looking at the youthful figures running towards the plane.
"Old horse." Someone called him. He looked back and saw that it was an older man who was nearly 70 years old, Lu Guangjie, the chairman of China Commercial Aircraft Corporation.
"I can't run," he said.
"Yes, we can't run anymore." Lu Guangjie stepped up and put one hand on Ma Fengshan's shoulder, and walked slowly towards the cheering crowd and the beautiful plane among the crowd, and said with emotion: "Look. Come on, leave it to the young man to run!"
...
"Eric, I don't understand it very well." Another old man said: "It's just the first test flight. Although the test flight was a success as expected, this aircraft is still a long way from real commercial use. The way is going, is it too early to celebrate victory now?"
"No, Mr. Douglas, they are not celebrating victory, they are just venting a long-suppressed relationship. As for the long road you said, everyone knows it clearly in their hearts. Don't worry, they and I will go on firmly."
Donald Jr. Douglas nodded thoughtfully, thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "But Eric, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't go on with you anymore. I'm too old. Before I come to China Mr. Mellon asked me to retire and leave the company decently. I agreed. I think this is the best result for me, for him, and for the Luodao company."
"Are you going to retire?" Tan Zhenhua was a little surprised, and immediately nodded in understanding: "Then congratulations to you Mr. Douglas. It seems that you can really rest this time. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my plane, Mr. Douglas. Without your help, the C919 project could not have progressed so smoothly. You know what I said was sincere, um, let me think about it, that’s it." He took the checkbook out of his arms and wrote it down. He wrote a check and handed it to Douglas: "Please accept this little thought from me, and treat it as my retirement gift for you."
Donald Jr. Douglas took the check, glanced at the numbers on it, and immediately said in surprise: "Eric, half a million dollars, this is too much, no, I can't accept it..."
"Mr. Douglas." Tan Zhenhua said, blocking his hand that wanted to hand over the check. "You and I know that in the cooperation between Luodao Company and China Commercial Aircraft Corporation, Luodao Company is only a sub-system contractor. It is enough to perform this part of the duties, but you also use your experience and contacts to help us carefully adjust the aircraft. We even revised the original design parameters of the entire aircraft according to your suggestions. Help, we can’t let the C919 fly into the sky in just 5 years, so you deserve it all. Please don’t reject the return of someone you helped."
"Those are actually rewards for helping me." Donald Jr. Douglas shook his head slightly and said: "I still remember that I received a strange call that year, and then you knocked on my door, and you said you could help me get back what I lost. I will be suspicious. I agreed to give it a try, and you really succeeded. I became the CEO of Luodao Company. Did you know Eric? The first time I got the news, I went to see my father, and I told him that I did it. His last wish in his lifetime, his soul can finally rest in peace."
"You see, what we are arguing about is such a boring question as to whom we can help more to whom." Tan Zhenhua shrugged and said, "But in our Huaxia people's opinion, there is no need to consider these among friends. When we need it, we do our best to reach out to help. Mr. Douglas, you are going to retire and your income will decline. And you are my friend, I have money, and I hope my friend will be there. I can be more calm for the rest of my life, so let’s just do it.

Donald Jr. Douglas did not refuse this time. He carefully collected the check, and smiled at Tan Zhenhua: "Eric, since you are my friend, then I accept this gift from friends, and also wish you and your C919 Good luck."
"In addition," he said after a pause, "please remember that there is a house on Santa Monica Beach that will open its doors for you at any time. You know the address of that house, right?"
Tan Zhenhua smiled and nodded: "Yes, I know, I think, I will visit the host there when I have time, and I want to drink another cup of coffee he makes."
