Before the British Jewish family in Hong Kong Island, the Kadoli family, significantly transformed and expanded the Peninsula Hotel in the mid-1990s, the Peninsula Hotel was always under the influence of the Cultural Oriental in the ranking of Hong Kong Island and international excellent hotels.

However, compared to Mandarin Oriental's slightly Western-style restaurant style, the Cantonese cuisine at Peninsula Hotel is a Hong Kong specialty.

For John Spreville, since he is in Hong Kong, it is wise to taste authentic Chinese food.

Qilianshan and John Spreville sat opposite each other at a half-high low table. The cups and plates that were originally filled with various dishes had already been removed, leaving only a dark brown purple clay pot with an appearance of an old tree stump in the middle of the two.

Spreville picked up the white tea cup and skillfully applied the lid to the surface of the tea, and more than one-third of it was stuffed in one mouthful.

"Huh..." Spreville let out a long breath and said to Qilianshan: "The tea ceremony in China is indeed very different from the afternoon tea popular in Europe and the United States. It does not add milk, sugar, and the original taste of tea is a endless aftertaste."

"Spury, Chinese tea ceremony emphasizes the environment, the word "utensil". Although the tea sets and tea leaves provided by the Peninsula Hotel are also top-notch, this environment is really inappropriate." Qilianshan pointed to the floor-to-ceiling window on the left of the two, and was surrounded by a sea of ​​lights and full of modern Victoria Bay.

Due to the insistence of the old fox John Spreville, Qilianshan replaced the more formal Mr. John with Spreville among friends.

"Old well, fallen snow, guzheng, wood door, bamboo forest, green pine, and sea of ​​clouds. Only in this environment can the original flavor of tea taste natural. In a concrete building..." Qilianshan shook his head.

"If Spliy has time this winter, you can come to Shengjing. I will invite you to drink real Chinese tea." Qilianshan said with a smile.

"Oh, dear Qi, in winter, if I have the opportunity to go on a business trip to China, I will definitely go to Shengjing to go to Qi's date." Spreville said happily.

"Spury, I can provide you with an opportunity to travel to China in the next winter." Qilian Mountain said meaningfully.

"Qi's suggestions are always so tempting, I can't wait to know." Spreville's eyes lit up and he leaned forward.

"A few days ago, I have asked friends from mainland China to inquire about what Spli said. Out of protection of the ace pilot and military pressure from the north, the Air Force has strong opposition to General Ning's overseas exchanges, and is still in a quarrel." Qilianshan said suddenly, silent here.

As a partner who has cooperated many times, there has been a tacit understanding between John Spreville and Qilian Mountains. Seeing Qilian Mountains suddenly silent, Spreville spoke: "Qi. In Grumman's business manual, safeguarding the interests of partners is preferred over protecting Grumman's own interests."

"Grumman has always believed that growing together with partners and winning the whole country is the driving force for Grumman's company to move forward." Spreville said sincerely.

"Grumman's business philosophy has always been my role model for business." Qilianshan returned Sprevier's words intact.

"Spury, there are some things I cannot explain too much in detail, but one thing is very important. For those within the Republic Air Force who support General Ning's exchanges in the United States, there is still a decisive reason to support the correctness of their own judgment."

"I wonder if Spliy can provide such a decisive opportunity?" Qilianshan asked.

"For example..." Spliville stared and then looked at Qilian Mountain's eyes.

"For example, the most important function of the f14 fighter is to take off and land on the flight deck." Qilianshan said with a smile.

"Oh, dear Qi, this is a bad suggestion."

"Since World War II era, the US Navy has never provided systematic training on carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing to allies. Qi, your requirement has exceeded Grumman's ability." John Spreville shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, Spray, who stipulates that the flight deck must exist in the ocean? As far as I know, just at the Long Island flight training base in Grumman, there is a simulated runway of the Soviet ski jump flight deck..." Qilian Mountain looked at Sprayville meaningfully.

After hearing what Qilianshan said, Sprevier immediately understood the meaning of Qilianshan. When the two sides negotiated to buy the F14 fighter, Qilianshan threatened Grumman with the F16 manufactured by General Motors, which almost publicly stated that the feelings of the pilots had nothing to do with him, and what he wanted was nothing more than reputation and the benefits brought by reputation.

Qilian Mountain this time is nothing more than an old trick.

"No problem, Grumman can guarantee that General Ning will receive aircraft carrier take-off and landing courses in the United States that are exactly the same as the U.S. Navy, including simulators and field training at the U.S. Navy's Navy Base in Lemore, Southern California." John Spreville said confidently.

The US Navy Naval Base in Southern California is the largest carrier-based pilot training center for the U.S. Navy. At the Lemore Base, there is an airport runway that is 3,000 meters long and 500 meters wide to simulate the flight deck of the U.S. aircraft carrier, and is used for the primary training of U.S. Navy carrier-based pilots.

The primary training runway at Lemore Naval Base is nothing more than a unified layout on the runway sign and the painted deck of the US military's active aircraft carrier.

There is also a lighting signal system for commanding carrier-based aircraft landing during landing, indicating the correct descent curve and speed for trained pilots. Apart from these two points, this runway is no different from the ordinary air force base runway.

Since the Lemore Naval Base is just a primary training center for US Navy carrier-based aircraft pilots, there is no core device similar to the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft - ejection and blocking devices.

Compared with the flight deck of the Nimitz class, which is more than 200 meters long and more than 70 meters wide, the simplicity of the extremely wide simulated runway at the Lemore Naval Base is really outrageous.

Almost the moment he heard Qilian Mountain mention the simulated runway of the Soviet ski jump flight deck, Sprevier remembered the Navy's Naval Training Base in Southern California, and fully understood the unfinished meaning in Qilian Mountain's words.

As long as you return to China, in the name of the US Navy carrier-based aircraft training center, the Lemore Naval Base, send Ning Lei an invitation letter and attach an explanation to complete the remaining courses of the F14 fighter. In the case of internal ghosts like Qilian Mountains, the chance of getting things done is greatly increased.

Spreville, who had straightened up his thinking, was a little curious about the interests that Qilian Mountains had not yet revealed. He really didn't know what the cunning Chinese in front of him was interested in.

Chinese, American, or Grumman, Spreville was shocked and guessed silently. (To be continued...)
