Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident
Chapter 104 Gulfstream Aircraft
Gulfstream Aircraft Company is located in Savannah, Georgia, USA.
After Henry signed the specific agreement to order the Boeing 747, his thoughts drifted to the future—to the business jet giant that rivaled Bombardier.
Even though he had never seen or experienced these luxurious aircraft in person, novels filled with protagonists who were extremely wealthy all revealed the importance of owning a Gulfstream or Bombardier private jet!
It's as if the lives of these main characters wouldn't be perfect without them.
As the protagonist, Henry naturally cannot allow his cool life to have any shortcomings!
So he had someone collect detailed information about the company.
As expected, the information provided by the data was largely the same as what Henry remembered.
This company was founded in 1973, six years ago, when an entrepreneur named Allen Paulson acquired the Gulfstream aircraft production line from Grumman for $200 million and established a new independent company.
The history of Grumman needs no further explanation.
Since World War II, this company has been a major supplier of fighter jets to the U.S. military.
In the 70s, Grumman launched the groundbreaking F-14 Tomcat fighter jet.
Although the movie Top Gun had not yet been released at that time, Grumman was already well-known for its outstanding technological strength.
Grumman was focused on the production of military aircraft at the time and did not pay enough attention to the business jet market, which is why it was willing to sell the Gulfstream production line.
This $200 million deal includes not only the production line, but also all related production plans, existing orders, and after-sales services.
For Grumman, the deal means they can focus on more important military contracts, while for Paulson, it means taking over a brand with great potential.
Since his rebirth, Henry has never ventured into the field of corporate investment.
Now, having just completed a series of milestones for the Dream Software project, he is looking forward to relaxing.
So he decided to go to Savannah in person to investigate the Gulfstream aircraft company.
If all goes well, he may become one of the company's investors, or even a strategic partner.
"This...is this Savannah?"
After traveling thousands of miles from San Francisco and enduring a long flight, Henry finally set foot on this completely unfamiliar land.
As soon as he stepped out of the airport, he was greeted not only by the humid air unique to the south, but also by a sense of tranquility and peace far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Savannah, a city steeped in history, is not only known for its elegant squares and well-preserved old buildings, but also as a shining jewel in the American aerospace industry.
Henry got into a waiting limousine and began his exploration of Savannah.
As you travel through the streets of Savannah, you'll see elegant old buildings lining both sides of the streets. These Victorian buildings have been carefully maintained and still exude their former glory.
Occasionally, you can see local residents or curious tourists dressed in traditional clothing leisurely cycling through the quaint streets and alleys.
As the car slowly drove along, Henry's gaze was drawn to the lush trees lining the roadside, especially the ancient oaks, whose thick branches were covered with slender Spanish moss, like flowing green ribbons, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the city.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a hotel located in the city center.
This hotel is not only stylish on the outside, but also extremely sophisticated in its interior design. The exquisite wrought iron balcony, elegant furniture, and dazzling chandeliers create a retro yet luxurious atmosphere.
After checking in, Henry rested for a while before going for a walk with Liam and the others who were with him.
The group of nine strolled leisurely through the streets of Savannah, enjoying the novelty and wonder of every scene around them.
Savannah in 1979, though not as bustling and vibrant as New York, possessed its own unique charm.
On the streets and alleys, people were dressed in the iconic clothing of the 1970s. Men wore wide ties and women wore flowing dresses, allowing Henry to truly feel the pulse of that era for the first time.
Savannah's street layout is also ingenious, with the city's main structure consisting of a grid of small squares, each with its own unique name and story.
Henry and his companions walked along the riverbank, where boats ply the Savannah, and various restaurants and bars line both sides of the river. Many people were enjoying their dinners while also indulging in the pleasant buzz that followed nightfall.
The setting sun casts its golden rays on the river, creating ripples that shimmer with golden light whenever a boat passes by.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the famous Reynolds Square.
The square has been given a unique style by the designer and is surrounded by a variety of cafes, art galleries and boutiques.
In the center there is a small and exquisite fountain, surrounded by flowers. Several local artists are intently painting watercolors in a corner of the square, attracting passersby to stop and admire them.
Children ran and played carefree in the square, while the elderly sat leisurely on benches enjoying the warm afternoon sun. Everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.
What?
Are you Henry?
Just as Henry and his group arrived at the front of a restaurant called "The Pink House" not far from the square;
A slightly surprised voice suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
Henry looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl standing there in an exquisite lace-trimmed dress, her eyes filled with curiosity and surprise.
Her hair was cleverly styled into an elegant updo, adorned with a few delicate little flowers, which complemented the pearl necklace around her neck.
Her attire exudes a noble yet understated elegance, as if she were a young lady from an aristocratic family.
"Diana?"
Henry asked, somewhat surprised, clearly recognizing the girl as well.
"It really is you, Henry!"
A girl named Diana walked quickly closer, her smile growing even brighter. "I never expected to meet you here."
What brings you to Savannah?
"Oh, I'm just here to handle some business matters."
Henry explained, smiling slightly, "What are you doing here?"
Diana shrugged gently and said, "My grandmother has an old house here, and I come here with her to stay for a while every year around this time."
Savannah is like a second home to me...
