Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group-Chapter 281 - 278 The Big Boss Flying a Helicopter (Part 1)
Chapter 281: Chapter 278 The Big Boss Flying a Helicopter (Part 1)
President Ma is also a lover of wine and has always wanted to taste the 1981 Romanée-Conti.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t find it at any winery.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen just gifted him a bottle.
"Mr. Ye, this is too kind of you." Although President Ma liked the wine, he was too shy to accept it.
"Brother Ma, let’s not stand on ceremony." Ye Chen smiled.
Brother Ma nodded, "Alright, I owe you one."
Just then, a roaring sound filled the air.
A helicopter approached from afar.
Ye Chen glanced at the helicopter in the sky and smiled, "My helicopter has finally arrived."
Brother Ma: "..."
The homeowners: "..."
Everyone’s eyes turned to the sky.
Wow, this helicopter seems extraordinary.
"A Bell Company’s helicopter?"
"This helicopter is worth around 15 million USD, right?"
"Impressive!"
Everyone present was wealthy.
However, most of them just traveled by car.
Although buying a helicopter is feasible, the maintenance cost is too high.
The fact that Ye Chen actually owns a helicopter is remarkable.
The helicopter hovered in the air before slowly landing.
The strong airflow prompted everyone to shield themselves with their arms.
After the helicopter landed, a burly man disembarked.
"Mr. Ye, your Bell 525 helicopter has been delivered, please inspect it."
Ye Chen nodded and approached the helicopter.
The burly man introduced the helicopter’s features to Ye Chen.
The Bell 525 accommodates 1 or 2 pilots and can carry 16 or 20 passengers.
Its payload is 7,400 pounds.
The main rotor’s diameter is 54 feet 6 inches with a continuous flight range of 575 miles; the maximum ceiling is 20,000 feet.
Through the introduction, Ye Chen gained a preliminary understanding of the helicopter’s capabilities.
This helicopter is the world’s first fly-by-wire civilian helicopter, reducing pilot workload while ensuring safe and reliable operation under demanding conditions.
The burly man continued, "We offer a three-year warranty and maintenance service for this helicopter, feel free to contact us if needed."
Ye Chen nodded.
"Mr. Ye, do you have any concerns?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "No more concerns."
"Mr. Ye, since you have no further questions, I will be leaving now."
Ye Chen nodded.
As the burly man left, Brother Ma curiously asked, "Ye Chen, now that you have a helicopter, don’t you need a pilot?"
Brother Ma also had a helicopter, but it was always parked at the company.
His helicopter required a dedicated pilot.
Ye Chen shook his head, "My helicopter doesn’t need a pilot."
Nearby, the property manager Zhou Yu was anxious.
"Mr. Ye, your helicopter is parked on our road; please have the pilot return and park it on the rooftop helipad."
The helicopter was parked in front of Ye Chen’s door, blocking the only exit route for other residents.
Ye Chen chuckled, "No need. I can manage it myself."
"You?" Everyone was stunned.
Ye Chen smiled faintly, "I have a pilot’s license."
To dispel any doubts, Ye Chen took out a little red booklet.
"Of course, this document was also arranged by the system; it’s a helicopter pilot’s license."
Ye Chen possessed divine-level helicopter flying skills.
Currently, Ye Chen’s flying ability is equivalent to that of a helicopter pilot with over twenty years of experience.
The homeowners were once again amazed by Ye Chen.
After all, flying a helicopter is not something the average person can do.
It requires professional training.
Moreover, this type of training is not available to everyone.
It requires national certification.
Ye Chen walked over to the helicopter.
Minutes earlier, the pilot had shown him the helicopter’s controls.
So, with a glance, Ye Chen understood how to operate the helicopter.
Accompanied by a roaring sound, the helicopter soared into the sky.
Everyone was practically dumbfounded.
"Incredible, he can really fly a helicopter."
"Wow, who exactly is Mr. Ye, that he can even pilot a helicopter?"
"Gosh, I used to think driving a luxury car and wearing a luxury watch was impressive; now I feel flying a helicopter is the ultimate display of prestige."
The helicopter’s engine roar was deafening, and the gust of wind forced everyone back several steps.
The helicopter hovered in the air for a minute before landing again.
This was Ye Chen’s first time operating a helicopter; despite his divine-level piloting skills, he felt both nervous and excited.
Flying high in the sky with a helicopter felt simply amazing.
After circling in the air, Ye Chen finally parked the helicopter on the helipad of Building One.
By this time, the bigwigs all had their eyes wide open, enviously watching the helicopter gently land.
The previously proud Rolls-Royce, Cadillac, BMW, and Mercedes seemed insignificant in front of the helicopter.
Brother Ma was even more shocked.
Ye Chen continually shattered his understanding.
He knew very well what it meant for Ye Chen to be able to fly a helicopter.
Flying a helicopter is not something anyone can learn.
Ye Chen’s ability to expertly fly a helicopter indicated he had undergone professional training.
In Hua Country, piloting a helicopter requires strict approval procedures.
Even for someone like Brother Ma, flying a helicopter was impossible.
Could Ye Chen be a scion of a prestigious family from Kyoto?
Given Ye Chen’s current status and background, it was very likely.
He must establish a good relationship with Ye Chen.
This thought became increasingly strong in Brother Ma’s heart.
...
Ye Chen knew quite a few owners and noticed that in just over an hour, Lin Shiyin would return.
He rode a shared bike and left Rose Manor.
At the entrance, Ye Chen happened to see his classmate Wang Meng.
Wang Meng had now changed into his security captain’s uniform.
"Mr. Ye, have a safe journey."
Ye Chen stopped and said to Wang Meng, "Why are you being so formal with me?"
Wang Meng scratched his head, embarrassed.
He already knew Ye Chen’s identity.
The property manager even distributed Ye Chen’s photo to every staff member of the neighborhood. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
And he told everyone to treat Ye Chen with more respect than the boss.
Wang Meng knew that Ye Chen was now on a completely different level, hence his politeness.
In his heart, Wang Meng was truly grateful to Ye Chen.
He clearly knew that being promoted to security captain was due to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen laughed, "We’re old classmates; just call me Ye Chen in the future, no need for formalities."
Warmth filled Wang Meng’s heart at these words.
Despite his current impressive status, Ye Chen had no pretenses and was still the same as before.
"Alright."
Ye Chen looked at Wang Meng’s uniform and laughed, "By the way, since you’ve been promoted, you owe me a meal."
Wang Meng nodded, "Definitely, definitely. How about a barbecue tonight?"
"Not today, I need to pick up a beauty at the airport; let’s meet up another day for barbecue and drinks to catch up."
With that, Ye Chen rode the shared bike and left.
Watching Ye Chen’s departing figure, other security personnel looked on enviously.
