Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 198 Beer wins the prize!

With that said, Wang Lu probably understood what was going on.

The racial discrimination turmoil of the past few days has not yet passed, and Nashville locals are thinking about how to quell this turmoil. Now Wang Lu has caused such a stir again.

A man who punched gangsters in Nashville and became a civilian hero praised by everyone on the Internet for maintaining social order, had just suffered unwarranted racial discrimination not long ago!

Those local bureaucrats know with their backsides that once these two things are reported together, what a devastating blow it will be to the local reputation!

However, granting Wang Lu the status of an honorary citizen can effectively reverse some of the negative effects previously caused, and may even reverse public opinion.

Even Wang Lu has to admit that there are still capable people among the American emperors!

Wang Lu didn't have too much resistance to the identity of this honorary citizen. After all, according to Anderson, the identity of an honorary citizen also comes with various conveniences. Isn't it a bastard to take advantage of this in vain?

"King! Mr. Governor also said that he will hold a conferment ceremony for you. I hope you can attend when the time comes!"

"no problem!"

Wang Lu also happily agreed, but then he had an idea and asked Anderson a question. After getting an accurate answer, Wang Lu immediately started making arrangements.

The awarding ceremony of the honorary citizen title happens to be on the closing day of the Beer World Cup, which is the day after tomorrow.

In the past two days, Wang Lu simply didn't go out much. He didn't want to run into any more trouble. He was really tired.

Except for Warren from the Air Tractor Company who paid a visit to Wang Lu and confirmed some details on the two aircraft he purchased, Wang Lu basically never met anyone else.

However, what surprised Wang Lu was that in just over a day, Air Tractor Company had already modified the AT-402B he purchased according to his requirements.

According to Warren, the AT-402B, as the main model sold by their air tractor company, is already in stock and can be simply pulled out for modification.

Moreover, Wang Lu's biggest modification requirement was to reserve a position for an airborne machine gun, which was nothing to the modification department of such a professional agricultural aircraft manufacturing company.

After seeing the photos sent from the modification factory that Warren showed, Wang Lu was also quite satisfied.

"King! In addition to reserving the position of the onboard machine gun for you, we have also added a small device for you. With this device, you can decide whether to fire or not in the cabin, similar to a simple fire control system, as long as you send me the machine gun model you installed later, we will have professional mechanical engineers to guide you in the installation!"

The fire control system is definitely a sophisticated thing on a real fighter jet, and the cost is not cheap, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is almost as much as the value of the complete agricultural aircraft purchased by Wang Lu.Therefore, Wang Lu had never considered this thing before. After all, the budget did not allow it, and only a fool would install a fire control system just for an airborne machine gun. That would really be a cannon to shoot mosquitoes!
The structure designed by Air Tractor Company for Wang Lu cannot even be called a fire control system. After all, propeller fighter jets were equipped with it during World War II, and it is not considered an advanced technology.Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a machine gun coordinator. It allows the pilot to control the airborne machine gun fire from the cockpit while also avoiding collisions between machine gun bullets and propellers.

But this was still an unexpected surprise for Wang Lu. In order to show its sincerity, Air Tractor Company did not charge Wang Lu any additional fees.

Because the transportation cost is too expensive, Wang Lu has no choice but to choose to take the sea route to transport the AT-402B and Chujiao-6 training aircraft he purchased to Dar es Salaam port, and then ship them to Dar es Salaam port. Transport back to the ranch.

Even so, due to the special nature of the aircraft, the containers required for these two aircraft need to be customized separately, which is more expensive than ordinary shipping containers, and all of this requires additional money.

In the end, Wang Lu had to pay five thousand US dollars for the freight of these two planes, which is equivalent to more than 3 yuan, and they would need to drift on the sea for half a month before they could reach Daressa. Lamu port.

However, Air Tractor Company has done many such cross-border sales cases. The time required for preliminary customs declaration and document review can be greatly shortened. In addition, the customs clearance time required after the aircraft arrives at the Dar es Salaam port by sea, It only takes about a month.

Fortunately, the maximum range of these two aircraft is enough to support them from flying directly back to the ranch from Dar es Salaam. Otherwise, another transportation fee would have to be spent in the middle, and given the worrying local logistics capabilities, Wang Lu was really worried about whether he could find vehicles large enough to transport the two planes back to the ranch.

After Wang Lu completely figured out the matter of the two planes, there was only one day left before the end of the Beer World Cup, and Wang Lu, who was lying bored in the hotel, also received an email.

After he clicked on the email and browsed the contents, he felt excited for a moment. The sender of this email was the official organizing committee of the Beer World Cup, and the content of the email was good news.

"Dear Wang! We are happy to inform you that the beer you submitted for competition won the gold medal in the traditional oak barrel aging category of this Beer World Cup!"

As the largest beer competition in the world, the Beer World Cup will award more than 200 awards. After all, beer is divided into many categories.

There are also some categories that Wang Lu has never heard of, such as pumpkin beer and chili beer. Wang Lu has no idea what these types of beer taste like.

This made him regret a little. He should have walked around the venue more and tried these weird beers.

Of course, there are also some traditional beer categories that are naturally indispensable. For example, the traditional oak barrel aging category won by Wang Lu is one of the more mainstream and most watched beer category awards.

The Gold Award is also the highest award in this award!

Although tomorrow is the last day of the Beer World Cup, most of the awards have already been selected, and this email is just an advance notice.

Wang Lu was relieved that his beer won the award. This was the main purpose of his trip. Now our beer can be regarded as somewhat famous.
