Chapter 379: Sky Palace

At this time, there was no direct flight from the Magic City to the Kolo capital of Loti, but fortunately Barron already had a private plane, which was convenient.

  The Loti Airport in Loti, the capital of Kolo, can meet the take-off and landing requirements of the Boeing 747. It takes about 10 hours to travel from the Magic City to Loti.

  Fan Bingbing was straightforward. While Barron's people were packing up, she went to the hotel to get some personal belongings and clothes, then went straight back to Cavendish Gardens to reunite with Barron and his group. She only had time to call her agent and ask him to find excuses to cancel her recent schedule.

  "This is my first time riding on a private jet, and it's such a luxurious one..."

  After arriving at the airport, Fan Bingbing's eyes widened as he watched the convoy carrying them drive directly into the Devonshire's lowest garage, and he exclaimed to Barron.

  "Let's go. We have more than ten hours to explore the place."

  Barron gave her a smile, took her hand and led her to the elevator door.

  Fan Bingbing's hand subconsciously shrank, then relaxed, allowing Barron to hold her hand in his palm.

  Just as Fan Bingbing said, she had never experienced a huge private jet like the Devonshire, which was like a palace in the sky. She found that there was actually an elevator inside the plane, which could go directly from the garage on the ground floor to the second and third floors.

  The first place Barron took Fan Bingbing to was the entertainment area on the second floor, where he showed her the entire second floor, including the kitchen, entertainment room, lounge and living room.

  Along the way, Fan Bingbing felt dazzled. This kind of life of a super rich person was indeed something she had never imagined before.

  You know, at that time, there were only a handful of wealthy people in mainland China who owned private jets. Even Boss Ma and Wang Jianlin, who later became the richest man, had not bought private jets. Even among the private jets they bought later, the Gulfstream series was already considered relatively good...

  The private jet in front of Fan Bingbing at this moment was converted from a Boeing 747 and is currently the largest private jet model in the world. Although Airbus launched their epoch-making A380 passenger aircraft in January of this year, the first test flight of this model of aircraft will have to wait until April or May. As for Prince Waleed using this model to convert it into a private jet... that will have to wait for a long time.

  Therefore, we can imagine how shocked Fan Bingbing, at the age of 23, feels when facing such a flying palace that is even larger than the villa of an ordinary rich man.

  This was only the second floor. On the third floor, most of it belonged to Barron's private space, including a large bedroom with a bathroom, a well-equipped office area, a SPA room and other facilities. This kind of luxurious enjoyment made Fan Bingbing stunned. She could never have imagined that she could enjoy such luxurious conditions on such an intercontinental plane...

  During the flight of the Devonshire, information about the situation on Colo's side would continue to be transmitted.

  Currently, 1,000 new recruits have been sent to Iraq by chartered flights of the Protector Military Company. After their arrival, the transport planes of the British and American coalition forces hired by them will immediately send the soldiers on duty to Lottie and set up defenses in the surrounding areas.

  At the same time, part of the bidding for Block 1 of the offshore oil field, which is being exploited by Kolo Oil Company, is also underway.

  The first part of the bidding includes the initial number of exploration wells and supporting services. Participants in this bidding include some oil service companies affiliated with large oil companies, some local joint ventures in Africa, and China's CNOOC Oilfield Services...

  Finally, after considering the strengths of these companies and their quotations, CNOOC Oilfield Services Ltd. became the contractor for the first phase of the bidding project for Block 1 of Kolo Petroleum.

  It is expected that COSL's personnel and platform will be in place as early as one month from now - of course, it would be too late to tow the drilling platform over from China, but COSL already has a project in Africa that is about to expire, so it can directly tow the drilling platform there to Area 1 for drilling operations.

  In this way, two drilling platforms belonging to COSL will come to Area 1 to carry out operations. Then, if the data collected after the completion of several exploration wells can determine the oil and gas storage situation nearby, then more offshore oil wells will be included in the drilling and production plan...

  At that time, Kolo Oil Company will proceed to the next bidding and start exploitation in this area.  

  "You weren't asleep?"

  Just as Barron finished dealing with some matters related to Chloe, he stretched himself and saw Fan Bingbing walking out of the bedroom wearing a coat...

  "I just woke up after taking a nap. I want to drink some water..."

  "Then you can just use the pager to ask the flight attendant to bring it over."

  Barron's Devonshire plane, its crew and two flight attendants, commonly known as stewardesses, were all hired directly by him.

  "I just wanted to come out and take a look. Are you done with your work?"

  "Almost..."

  Barron looked at his watch and said,

  "We have just taken off for more than three hours. We still have several hours to arrive. You can go back to sleep."

  "or..."

  Fan Bingbing blushed and looked at Barron and said:

  "Go and have a rest. Do you have anything else to deal with when you get there? Or, we can go and have a rest together. I mean, I think the bed is quite big..."

  In fact, when she agreed to accompany Barron on this journey, in a sense, it was equivalent to Fan Bingbing having already determined what would happen between her and the Duke of England...

  I believe this handsome young duke in front of me also understands this...

  However, what surprised Fan Bingbing was that after the plane took off, Barron was not in a hurry to be with her... Instead, he gave his luxurious bedroom to Fan Bingbing, saying that he needed to deal with some things immediately, and let her rest first.

  Originally, Fan Bingbing thought that he might come over soon, so after washing up, he went to the bed and waited.

  However, after taking a short nap, she found that she was still well in the bedroom, which was why she took the initiative to come out just now.

  It's not that water cannot be poured in the bedroom, but with some different emotions, Fan Bingbing wants to appear in front of Barron to confirm this matter.

  People's inner changes are often very wonderful. If Barron had gone directly into the bedroom and something happened to her at the beginning, even though Fan Bingbing thought that the young duke's appearance was indeed fascinating, she probably regarded their relationship more as some kind of exchange.

  But when the other party behaved very gentlemanly from beginning to end, well, until now, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

  And without realizing it, I developed other emotions towards the other person...
