Chapter 2639
Concorde was once the only supersonic airliner in the world that was truly put into commercial operation.
For many young people, they may not know this aircraft at all, but they have to admit that this aircraft has written a strong fortune in the history of civil aviation.
Looking at the law of development of human science and technology over the past few decades, an interesting phenomenon will be discovered, that is, people have been relatively conservative in the development of science and technology in recent years.
However, during the Cold War from the 1960s to the 1980s, it was a golden age when human technology thrived and developed wildly and rapidly.
The people of that era showed unprecedented enthusiasm and radicalism in the field of science and technology.
In the era when the computing power of computers was not as good as the Cassidy Learning Machine, the Soviet Union sent astronauts to space and the United States sent astronauts to the moon.
Also in that era, people lost interest in ordinary subsonic civil aviation aircraft and began to step into the supersonic era with their heads high.
In 1975, the Concorde airliner that could reach twice the speed of sound was officially put into use. At that time, people had already enjoyed the supersonic airliner at 2,150 kilometers per hour.
Now, it takes nearly two hours to fly from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill, but if you take the Concorde, it only takes 25 minutes.
It is a pity that although this aircraft is extremely fast, its fuel economy is extremely poor, so with the arrival of the economic crisis and a serious flight accident, this aircraft withdrew from the civil aviation stage in 2003 and has since disappeared from the world.
Today, most people don’t even remember the existence of this aircraft, but several of these aircraft have been well preserved.
And, without exception, all became the exclusive cars of the top rich.
Charlie’s grandfather Zhongquan has one.
His Concorde airliner was bought and spent huge financial resources on transformation and maintenance. Up to now, it costs tens of millions of dollars in basic maintenance costs every year.
However, Zhongquan spent so much money on this plane, but it is difficult for him to fly once a year.
However, for the top big families, this kind of aircraft is equivalent to the nuclear weapons of a big country. It can be kept in storage at ordinary times and will not be used for several years or even decades, but once a major event requires it, it can be put into use immediately.
Therefore, Issac thought of this method. As long a Zhongquan is willing to lend this Concorde to Charlie, Charlie will be sent to Syria within four and a half hours, nothing to say!
However, Zhongquan valued this aircraft very much. He hadn’t used it for anyone except himself. Even his children did not have the opportunity to use it.
And Issac was just a spokesperson for the Wade family in Aurous Hill. He couldn’t even get in touch with Zhongquan directly, so Charlie could only talk to Zhongquan about this matter.
Charlie was instantly awakened by his words.
He couldn’t hide his excitement and blurted out: “It’s great! If there is a Concorde, you can save more than half of your time at once!”
As he said, he immediately took out his cell phone and said, “I will call him, and I will borrow this plane anyway!”
Issac said with some worry: “Master, it is said that your grandfather has very precious thoughts about this plane. He has never loaned it out or let anyone other than himself use it. I am now worried that he will not be willing to lend it to you.”
Charlie said solemnly, “No matter what, please give a call first and try!”
After speaking, he hit his grandfather Zhongquan.

The phone rang only twice and was immediately connected.
Zhongquan asked happily, “Charlie, why did you remember calling grandpa today?”
Charlie went straight to the topic and said, “I have something I want to ask you for help.”
Zhongquan said without hesitation: “Oh, what is there to be polite about you and grandpa? Just talk about anything, as long as grandpa can do it, it’s absolutely unambiguous!”
Charlie said: “I’m in a hurry. I have to go to Lebanon immediately. I heard that you have a Concorde airliner. I want to borrow it.”
“By Concord?” Zhongquan hesitated for a while. After a while, he smiled and said, “Charlie, in fact, if you want to borrow a private jet, grandpa has a very, very luxurious Boeing business jet. It only costs the internal modification. Hundreds of millions of dollars, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a palace in the sky, or should I lend you that plane?”
Charlie said firmly: “No, I only borrow what I named.”
Zhongquan sighed and said, “Oh, that airplane is really too old. It was manufactured in 1985. To be honest, it’s a lot older than you. You know, the older the airplane, the less it will be its safety.”
Charlie didn’t expect Zhongquan to play around the bush with himself here, so he couldn’t help it. He blurted out, “You don’t want to lend me the Concorde, but at least you have to lend me a plane that allows me to do this. The plane flew from Aurous Hill to Lebanon in less than half an hour.”
“This…” Zhongquan said embarrassingly, “The requirement of four and a half hours is too high, can you be a little more relaxed…”
Charlie asked him back: “If I can borrow it, I can give me a good word. If I can’t, then I won’t be overwhelmed.”
Speaking of this, Charlie said coldly: “However, I may have to reconsider the ancestor worship ceremony. Besides. I think since even borrowing a plane is so troublesome to do such a small thing, I will no longer bother the Wade family in the future.”
When Zhongquan heard this, he gritted his teeth and said without hesitation: “Oh, Charlie, don’t be impulsive! Isn’t it just borrowing a plane? Grandpa lends it to you! I will ask the crew to prepare and fly directly to Aurous Hill! I have two sets of the crew on standby at the airport in two shifts, ready to take off at any time! Are you satisfied now?”
Charlie’s voice eased, and he said, “In this case, I won’t break my promise regarding the ancestor worship ceremony.”
Zhongquan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: “Charlie, you often go home and have a look when you have time. I, your uncle, and your aunt miss you!”
Charlie agreed casually and said, “Okay, after the ancestor worship ceremony, I will visit you often.”
Zhongquan hurriedly said, “That’s good, that’s good!”
After speaking, he asked again: “Charlie, what are you going to do in Lebanon? Do you need help from grandpa?”
Charlie thought of the question he had just talked with Issac, and asked: “I wonder if you can help me to clear the relationship so that I can leave for Lebanon and go to Syria?”
“Are you going to Syria?” Zhongquan asked in surprise, “There is a war going on over there. What are you going to do there?”
Charlie said calmly: “I have some personal affairs that I need to deal with.”
Zhongquan thought for a while and said, “I have some contacts in Lebanon!”
“Well, I’ll clear it up for you, and promise to help you get this done before you arrive in Lebanon.”
“I guarantee that after you arrive in Lebanon, you can go directly to Syria.”
