Chapter 16 Redemption Successful (Please Recommend and Collect)

After the plane entered the top of the clouds, it was inevitable that the control was handed over to the co-pilot, and the captain who was free asked questions, Li Changheng said sorry,

Standing up, he smiled and said, "I have to ask later if there are any free seats to sleep, lest I get exhausted when I arrive in Rio and then transfer to El Salvador.

Not only I am irresponsible to myself and my colleagues, but also to the passengers, if the captain who is still waiting for me thinks there is something wrong with my notification attitude, then I will be finished."

"That's true," the captain agreed, and smiled with the co-pilot and the mechanic knowingly.

The captain is the head of the crew members. He has the right to ask for the co-pilot to be replaced, and he is also responsible for scoring the co-pilot.

The captain, who understood this in his heart, turned his head and said to Li Changheng, "You go to Marcie, there is really no space, so you take the flight attendant's seat, anyway, the flight attendant can't sit all the time.

You'll come back and take the folding chair when you're almost in Rio."

"Thank you", after greeting the co-pilot and the mechanic, Li Changheng walked out of the cab.

He closed the door of the driver's cab casually, and suddenly found that the door could be opened from the outside.

Hell, security awareness is too weak these days!

If someone had a bad idea, wouldn't he be able to easily control the entire unit?

Thinking of this, Li Changheng couldn't help thinking of observing whether the passengers were suspicious, but within a few seconds, he thought of the air police again.

If he behaves too abnormally, he will definitely be noticed by the American air police.

When the time comes to investigate, or invite him to the office area of ​​the airport, and then call Pan Am to ask, it will be troublesome.

"Mr. Howard, is there anything I can do for you?"

Hearing the sound, Li Changheng looked up and saw Marcie, who was preparing drinks and snacks with a smile on her face.

"Is there any space on the plane, I have to go to sleep, lest I have no energy to go to El Salvador after getting off the plane."

"Wait a moment," Marcie picked up a form, then looked at Li Changheng with some embarrassment and said, "Yes, there is a vacancy, but,,".

"Just what?" Li Changheng looked at Marcie who looked puzzled, and suddenly asked, "The only seat is next to the air police who is following the plane?"

Marcy breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "I heard that there are only 50 professional air police officers in the entire United States, and these people have a greater workload than us.

If you sit next to him and sleep soundly, not only will it affect his mental state, you may even be targeted by him.

If you are not tired now, I suggest you to be our seat."

"OK", Li Changheng nodded obediently, after all he still had a fake beard on his lips.

If the air police officer who is in a bad mood sees something, it will be a big trouble.

Sitting in the small seat dedicated to flight attendants, Li Changheng suddenly asked, "Marcie, it's rare for me to come to Brazil. If I want to buy some special products, what suggestions do you have?"

"specialty?"

Marcy immediately opened up a conversation box, muttering a lot, and finally summed up three points, coffee, fur, and gems.

Thinking that there is no security check on the plane, maybe after I get the money in Rio, I can buy some diamonds and bring them back to New York.

During the period, he asked Marcie about the hotel where the crew stayed, and he closed his eyes to rest.

Ten hours later, the plane landed in Rio on time, and the crew began to disembark after all the passengers had left.

Li Changheng said goodbye to the crew members in the internal passage, and after watching them leave, he waited for another half an hour before leaving the airport and took a taxi directly to a four-star hotel.

When I was doing odd jobs before, I received six checks back and forth, and when Frank and he hid in the apartment they rented for the second time,

When he had nothing to do, Frank told Li Changheng a lot about checks, either to show off or to lure him into the gang.

Although all he knew was how to deceive bank tellers, it did let Li Changheng understand how to write checks without arousing suspicion.

At the counter in the hotel lobby, take out the check book you got yesterday at the city bank and write Frank McCall,

The account bank is Deutsche Bank, and the denomination is 100 US dollars.

With what he had seen and heard at Deutsche Bank before, he was confident that even if the bankers didn't check with Berlin, they would never see anything wrong with this account.

But the waiter of the hotel carefully checked the authenticity of the check. He was worried that it was not an account problem, but worried about whether the check would bounce. In the end, he had to find the lobby manager.

In her heart, Li Changheng is the captain of Pan Am in the United States, but his nationality and accent are German, and their hotel is in Rio, Brazil.

If their hotel accepts the check, send it to the bank in Rio, and then the bank will connect with Deutsche's branch in Rio, and the branch will check with the head office in Berlin.

After this lap, half a month is considered fast.

But when the lobby manager of the hotel saw the captain's uniform on Li Changheng and looked at the check, he ordered ten ten-dollar cash bills for him without much hesitation.

Although he couldn't see any flaws in the check, and he was also worried that the check might bounce, but this reason could not make him refuse Li Changheng to pay the check.

The meaning of bouncing tickets is also very simple to explain.

Assuming that Li Changheng really has an account with Deutsche Bank, but the money in the account is not enough to $100, this is a bouncing ticket.

In the era without the Internet, after Deutsche Bank received this check, because Li Changheng’s account had insufficient funds, and listed him as a customer with credit problems, the check would be returned to the bank where the hotel opened the account.

The bank where the hotel opened the account will also list Li Changheng as a customer with poor credit, and then return the check to the hotel.

In other words, at least two weeks later, the hotel knew that it had been cheated out of $100.

But no matter how worried you are that the check will bounce, do you not accept the check if there is no problem with the check?

If that's the case, their main customers are hotels of foreigners, so don't do business with foreigners at all.

But if you don't do business with foreigners, how can you afford such a big hotel with only Brazilians?

Looking at a small stack of banknotes on the counter, Li Changheng breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in German with a smile, "Your hotel should be able to exchange a Pan Am paycheck for US$300?"

"Yes, Mr. McCall," suggested the lobby manager in his thirties with a smile, "but paychecks can only be exchanged during the daytime when the bank is open.

I suggest you go to the airport and Pan Am will exchange it for their employees."

"Thanks, I know".

Li Changheng understood the lobby manager as soon as he heard it, probably because he saw that he was alone, not the same as other crew members,

The captain, co-pilot, and mechanic checked into the hotel together with four to six flight attendants. When they had doubts in their hearts and could not prove it, they deliberately said this to reduce the risk.

And this also made him understand that the profession of captain is not admired by people in all countries.

At least in a country like Brazil that has no spaceflight at all, the Rio people will not be like the current American people, because of their admiration for astronauts, they will also love civil aviation captains.

In this case, try to leave Rio within two days.
