Chapter 513 Jin'er Has a Son
For the New Year’s Eve dinner, Wang Yuanchao’s living room was equipped with an extra-large table. The mansion has no other special features except that it is big enough.

My master's grandfather Ma Erqin was also invited. After all, we had celebrated together every year before. The old man was born in 1893. He is 86 years old now, but he is still in good spirits.

He is free in Hong Kong, and all his interests and hobbies have been fully realized. His medical skills can relieve people's worries. He can also teach students at Bao'an Hall and compile his own medical books. Maslow's five-level needs theory is met very well for the old man.

However, this time the main seats were taken by Wang Quan and Miao Cui. Wang Quan felt uncomfortable but could not refuse.

So the master sat next to Wang Quan, and the pregnant Liu Qijin was pulled by her mother-in-law Miao Cui to sit next to him.

The four siblings Wang Sheng, Wang Heping, Wang Yuanchao and Wang Li sat directly opposite them, which was considered as vice-chairman.

The two sisters-in-law, Huang Ting and Qin Jingru, sat at the three and nine o'clock positions. Lou Xiao'e, Wang Ling, Zheng Juan and Leti each surrounded the two sisters-in-law. Chen Xueru leaned against Ma Erqin. After all, she recognized Ma Erqin's granddaughter.

Then the children came in and out, and those who were too young were held in the arms of the adults.

Fortunately, this specially customized large round table rotates automatically, otherwise I would only be able to eat the food in front of me.

Except for a bigger table and more people, it is no different from previous New Year’s Eve dinners.

After dinner, the children played wildly while the adults either played cards or watched TV. Wang Yuanchao's family had many TVs. Except for ATV, which held a Spring Festival Gala according to Wang Yuanchao's wishes, other TV stations continued to broadcast their own programs, at most showing variety shows such as "Happy Tonight".

On the first day of the New Year, women put on new clothes again.

There is nothing to do but eat, drink and have fun.

In the afternoon, they had time to watch the second match of the Provincial-Hong Kong Cup.

The Guangdong Provincial Team visited Hong Kong and drew 2:2 with the Hong Kong Happy Valley Team.

In the end, the Guangdong provincial team won the first cup with a score of 3:2.

After watching the game, Lao Wang’s family took two helicopters directly to Yangcheng Airport.

This is the helicopter Wang Yuanchao had transferred from Sarawak for commuting in Hong Kong. And the pilot this time was a mainland pilot who had applied for it specially.

This is the most efficient way to return to the city. You can board a flight directly from Yangcheng Airport to the capital, have a good sleep on the plane, and wake up at your doorstep.

Wang Yuanchao felt it necessary to get a private jet.

They sold a lot of helicopters, Hueys and Chinooks, but transports,

141 Lockheed C12 transport aircraft, 4 sold;
130 C5 Hercules transport aircraft, 3 sold;
7 C17 Reindeer transport aircraft, 7 sold.

This means that less than half of them were sold, and some were bought by airlines to be converted into civil aircraft.

This thing, except for the United States, other countries are not luxurious enough to use it to transport a few soldiers or equipment and supplies.

What's more, now that they have "taken over" Sarawak, they might as well not sell it. Instead, they would modify it and set up Sarawak's own airline. It is still necessary to transport people and goods to and from Southeast Asia.

With so many planes, it’s a sure thing for a medium-sized airline.

It’s a pity that the C141 can’t be sold.

Using this thing for passenger transport probably won't make back the money spent on fuel and maintenance.

Wang Yuanchao was ready to find an opportunity to deal with these big guys.

Without C141, it would be a small airline relying only on C7 and C130.

No matter what, as a big boss, it is necessary for him to own a private jet.

The C141 is a strategic transport aircraft with a range of more than 1 kilometers. It can commute around the world and can fly to the United States without stopping.

The C130 is one of the most successfully designed, longest-used and most-served transport aircraft in the world. In short, it is a common aircraft.

The load capacity is 35 tons and the range is 3800 kilometers.

This can basically be done smoothly in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and you can even fly to Europe, but whether you are crossing the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean, you have to find various islands along the way as a place to stay.

Not to mention the C7 Caribou, a Canadian product with excellent take-off and landing performance. It can take off and land fully loaded on a poor-quality runway less than 400 meters in length, with the actual taxiing distance on the runway being only over 200 meters. It is particularly suitable for supporting anti-terrorism/anti-guerrilla warfare, and its operating costs are much lower than helicopters with the same payload.

But it has a load capacity of 3.5 tons and a maximum range of 1700 kilometers.

Therefore, reindeer are suitable for short distances and for commuting between Sarawak, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

For Wang Yuanchao who needs to travel everywhere, the best choice is definitely C141, which has the best performance and the largest space.

But it's not very appropriate for this thing to keep going to the United States, and he feels a little guilty about it.

Didn’t you see that the name contains the word “strategic”? So the only option was to modify the C130 Hercules.

Sarawak obviously does not have the ability to modify such an aircraft, so Wang Yuanchao made an appointment with a Japanese airline.

At the same time, he also asked people to look at companies that specialize in private jets.

Soon, a telegram came from the United States:

湾流II公务机——于1966年10月2日首飞，1967年12月开始服役。

The Gulfstream II is a high-performance business jet with a wingspan of 21 meters, a length of 24.4 meters and a height of 7.5 meters. The standard passenger capacity of this model is 10 to 19 people, and the maximum commercial load capacity reaches 2.5 tons. The empty weight is about 16.6 tons, and the maximum take-off gross weight can reach 29.4 tons. The Gulfstream II is equipped with two Rolls-Royce Spey MK511-8 turbofan engines, each with a maximum thrust of 11400 pounds. In addition, it also has an impressive cruising speed of 851 kilometers per hour, a cruising altitude of 13716 meters, and a maximum fuel range of up to 4800 kilometers, making it an ideal choice for long-distance flights.

Gulfstream business jet was launched so early???
After having this thing, Wang Yuanchao immediately looked down on the C130 - what a big and stupid guy.

In fact, there is another private jet that is very popular among celebrities, businessmen, and Hollywood, the Learjet, but that small guy can only accommodate a few people, and one plane does not exceed US$50, which is not suitable for Boss Wang. So the United States did not report it. In fact, they think that with the wealth of the big boss, he should have a private jet long ago.

In particular, last spring, Gulfstream acquired Grumman and immediately announced the development of the improved Gulfstream II and Gulfstream III, which would increase the fuselage length and fuel capacity and improve fuel efficiency.

So there happened to be inventory - because some wealthy people cannot tolerate their new aircraft having outdated performance right after they bought it.

Wang Yuanchao didn't care.

Even if it is C130, it will take a long time to modify it. Just use it first!
He immediately asked the company in the United States to help him purchase the plane. As for the new one, he would order it first.

As for pilots, there were many at Blackwater, including some from Vietnam, who could fly even the C141, not to mention the Gulfstream II.

They are timid and afraid of death, have families, and have good Oriental morals. Mixed with Americans, they will make the crew.

Suddenly, a bolt from the blue struck: the Pahlavi dynasty in the Middle East, Iran, and the Pahlavi dynasty collapsed.

Wang Yuanchao didn’t know the exact time in history, but it was around these two years, because the Iran-Iraq War was about to break out.

He was sharpening his knife for the Iran-Iraq War - preparing to sell arms.

The gambling king and his partners are in a miserable situation. The casino they invested 5000 million US dollars in Tehran in the second half of last year was opened not long ago, but they have not yet made back their investment, but they have already lost all their money!

Given the situation over there, they still dare to go back? They are desperate, aren't they?

Before one crisis was over, another one arose. On February 2, the daily newspaper published a commentary article titled "This is Tolerable and What is Not Tolerable", and the defense war officially began.

Only half a month later, the mainland announced that it had achieved its goal and began to withdraw its troops. However, before withdrawing, the mainland chose to take away and dismantle all the equipment that had been used to support Hanoi.

On April 4, Liu Qijin finally gave birth to a son and cried with joy.

Wang Yuanchao named his child Wang Zhibai, which means he is as strong and upright as pine and cypress.

Wang Yuanchao's other women all breathed a sigh of relief. The first wife had no son, and everyone had been very cautious over the years, fearing that they would accidentally offend him.

Because Wang Yuanchao maintained the status of the first wife very well, no woman wanted to shake Liu Qijin's position. The charter king has four daughters, but they don't seem to have any conflicts with each other, right?
The Liu family also breathed a sigh of relief. In ancient times, even if the queen had no son, all the other concubines had a son. As the largest in-law, the Liu family, were they nervous? Wang Yuanchao really wanted to inherit the throne!
Even in these years, Wang Yuanchao's other women had not given birth to children, and the Liu family could notice it.

The son-in-law has controlled another woman to have a baby!
If this baby was still a girl, Liu Heqing and Wang Danfeng would even be prepared to turn a blind eye to their younger daughter Liu Qiuyu who was eager to try and come to them.

People change in different environments.

So when the eldest sister gave birth to a son, Liu Qiyu was the most disappointed...

She has persisted for so many years!!
But she, who was no longer a child, knew that she couldn't tell anyone about this. Even her parents' tacit consent was based on the premise that her eldest sister gave birth to a girl.

After all, she was the one who was willing to wait and spend time like that, so she couldn't blame anyone.

On the contrary, she was happy to visit her little nephew.

Wang Yuanchao did not make a big deal about the birth of his son. He treated his son the same way he treated his daughter. Regardless of whether Liu Qijin would continue to have children, if the child was useless or not suitable for business, he would not hand over the Wang Empire to this child.

But as long as Wang Zhibai is not bad, even if he is just mediocre, the probability of him inheriting Wang Yuanchao's great cause will be much higher.

For Wang Yuanchao, Wang Zhibai has a big advantage, but it is not the only one.

It is even possible for him to divide his property and give it to his children.

Let’s not talk about his own businesses in Hong Kong.
The Hutchison Whampoa he acquired included Hutchison Telecommunications, foreign companies, oil, banks, and dairy products. The largest was Hutchison Whampoa, which owned companies in many fields including shipping, ports, and real estate.

Among them, Hutchison Telecommunications was directly dismantled by him. Since he had acquired Hutchison Petroleum, he naturally had to manage it well. He took over Sarawak because he had his eyes on the rich oil and gas resources in the waters north of Sarawak.

The shares of the lurking Hutchison Whampoa have been increasing and decreasing, but currently it still holds more than 30%. Wang Yuanchao is ready to wait for the next stock market crash and then take it down.

Wheelock has more than 200 subsidiaries and associated companies with businesses spanning real estate, shipping, retail, manufacturing and trade, with investments extending from the Far East to Southeast Asia and Australia.

With so many companies, why aren’t there enough shares?
