Chapter 314: More than 300 million can be spent just like that?
The next morning, the crew packed up and rushed to Kennedy Airport.
"You really want to come with me?"
Gu Wei asked Nazha.
"Yes, I have already made an agreement with Sister Hong. I will let her go back to China to deal with work matters first, and Xiaotao can just stay with me.
Anyway, there is no urgent work in the country, so I will go back with you in a few days.
Is that okay?
Nazha hugged Gu Wei's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, if you want to, then stay.
I don't think I'll be here for too long. I'll finish what I want to do and then go back home."
Gu Wei had no objection to this. If Nazha wanted to follow, then let her follow.
I arrived at the airport with the main crew, but boarded a different flight.
Before leaving, Gu Wei gave Wang Baoqiang some more instructions.
"I still have some things to do in the United States. Please wait for me for a few days when you return to China. We can catch up on the remaining footage when I get back."
"Director, you don't have to be so polite to me. Just go ahead and do your work. I don't have any scenes to join recently. Just call me when you come back."
Wang Baoqiang said happily.
Gu Wei nodded and said nothing more.
"Sister Yifei, I'll go have dinner with you when I get back. Then you can recommend some books to me."
Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei, then glanced at Nazha behind him, and said with a chuckle:
"You owe me a lot of meals. I remember them all. I'll pay you back slowly later~"
"no problem"
After saying goodbye to the crew, Gu Wei took Nazha and his team and boarded a plane to Savannah, Georgia, USA.
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation's headquarters and aircraft manufacturing plant are located here.
New York to Savannah is about a thousand kilometers, and Gu Wei's flight took more than three hours to arrive.
America's aviation industry is very developed, with more than 20,000 airports of various sizes across the country.
What does this mean? For example, there are more than 3,000 county-level units in my country.
In other words, if the number of airports in the United States were placed in my country, there would be an average of seven airports in each county.
However, the developed air transportation is the result of a combination of factors including its unique geographical environment, economic development status and government policy support.
Although China's aviation industry is not as good as that of the United States, we have a large population and particularly developed railway transportation, especially the high-speed rail transportation that has developed in recent years, which the United States can never catch up with.
The development of air transportation means that his local aircraft manufacturing industry is also the most advanced in the world. Because of the large demand and market, manufacturers naturally invest a lot in this area.
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, where Gu Wei is going, is a world-renowned manufacturer of luxurious and large business jets.
Famous domestic entrepreneurs Wang Jianlin, Ma Yun, Liu Qiangdong, and the richest Chinese man Li Jiacheng all drive Gulfstream series business jets produced by Gulfstream Corporation.
This shows that the Gulfstream series of aircraft are superior in all aspects. The fact that so many wealthy people buy them is the best proof of this.
The flight landed. Outside the airport, in front of an ultra-luxurious extended Lincoln, a white man in his 40s and several entourages were waiting for the arrival of Gu Wei and his group.
"Hello, is this Mr. Gu? I'm Harris Fisher, the vice president of Gulfstream. You can just call me Harris."
Seeing Gu Wei and his group coming out, the middle-aged man who claimed to be the vice president immediately came forward and shook hands with Gu Wei with a smile on his face, with a very enthusiastic attitude.
"Hello, Harris."
Gu Wei was not surprised. Before coming, Yang Dan had already communicated everything with Gulfstream.
He also knew that although Harris in front of him was known as the vice president of Gulfstream, he was actually no different from a salesperson in an ordinary company.
After all, Gulfstream sells aircraft, often for hundreds of millions of dollars.
It is impossible to send a salesperson to talk to the customer for such a big deal, but if it is the vice president, there will be no problem, and the customer will feel that Gulfstream values him.
Gu Wei and his group got in the car and soon arrived at the headquarters of Gulfstream.
In the reception room, Gu Wei was looking through the information on various models of business jets provided to him by Harris.
Nazha was also there to help him watch.
For her, this was a very novel experience.
This is a private jet. She had only heard about it in the news before, that a certain wealthy man spent hundreds of millions to buy a private jet.
Whether it was the number of hundreds of millions or the purchase of a private jet, to her it seemed like something from another world.
"What do you think of this?"
Gu Wei took one of the introduction books, pointed at the promotional picture on it, and asked Nazha beside him.
"Uh, it's good."
After saying that, Naza quickly added:
"I don't understand anything. Just look at it yourself. No need to ask for my opinion."
She was afraid that her words would have an impact on Gu Wei. After all, she really didn't know anything, and this wasn't like going to the market to buy vegetables, so it didn't matter what she said.
Nazha doesn't dare to help Gu Wei make a decision for a big guy worth at least hundreds of millions.
Harris, who was sitting opposite, glanced at the information in Gu Wei's hand and introduced it with a smile:
"Sir, you are looking at our company's best-selling aircraft in the world - the Gulfstream 550.
It is 29.4 meters long, has a wingspan of 28.5 meters, a height of 7.9 meters, a cabin height of 1.88 meters, a cabin length of 15.3 meters, and a cabin area of 47.3 square meters.
With a passenger capacity of 14-19 people, a cruising speed of 904 km/h, a maximum range of 11,686 km, and a maximum cruising altitude of 15,545 meters, it is the first ultra-long-range business jet in human aviation history to have a direct flight range from New York to Tokyo.
Gu Wei looked up at him.
"I am Chinese."
"Oh, sorry, sir, it's my fault. The Gulfstream G550 can fly directly from Beijing to any city in the United States."
Harris apologized dramatically, then introduced:
"As the world's most versatile jet, the Gulfstream G550 offers the most comprehensive hardware and software in every aspect.
Even the biggest enemies of traditional aircraft - high altitude, strong winds and other special weather conditions rarely have an impact on the G550. As a means of transportation, the G550 most faithfully performs its job, and can safely and quickly take passengers to any place they want to go at any time.
Our company also allows owners to personally participate in the layout of the cabin interior, decorating their own mansion in the sky just like decorating their own house, and even freely choose the location of the kitchen and bathroom.
Gu Wei held the Gulfstream G550 brochure, supporting his chin with one hand and thinking.
After Harris introduced himself, he waited eagerly for his reply.
Nazha, who was sitting next to him, didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him.
"Do you have a finished plane? I want to see it."
Gu Wei suddenly asked.
"No problem, honorable sir, please follow me."
Harris's face blossomed with a smile when he heard this, and his wrinkles piled up like a blooming chrysanthemum.
He felt that they were one step closer to a deal.
The group followed Harris to the Gulfstream aircraft manufacturing plant not far away.
In a huge factory building, a large white plane was parked quietly.
"This is the finished Gulfstream G550. It was ordered by an Arab customer. There are still some finishing touches on the interior decoration, but it will be delivered soon."
A group of people circled the big plane and then boarded and entered the cabin.
The interior decoration is very luxurious, with golden color as the main color, matched with various dark wooden utensils. A sense of luxury comes to you, worthy of being a plane ordered by Arab customers.
"The cabin of this aircraft can be designed by the customer into a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. It adopts top-notch interior decoration and a quiet atmosphere. It is equipped with leather seats, sofa chairs, filing cabinets and a dining and conference table.
The bedroom has wardrobes, storage space and an entertainment system with a DVD player and satellite communication equipment.
The aircraft is also equipped with optional High-Speed Data Transfer (HSD) Swift Broadband equipment and High-Fidelity (Hi-Fi) technology, allowing passengers to easily browse the Internet, send and receive emails, and transfer files during the flight, not only enjoying more entertainment functions but also saving time and improving work efficiency.
Harris introduced while guiding Gu Wei and others on the tour.
"How does it feel?"
Gu Wei asked Nanaza who was looking around nearby.
"Huh? It's quite nice, very beautiful, but the decoration style is a bit too... "
Not everyone can accept the aesthetic taste of the rich.
"If I order now, when can it be delivered?"
Gu Wei asked.
Harris lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Our company doesn't have many orders right now. The fastest turnaround time is more than six months, and no more than a year at most."
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows, not surprised. This is an airplane worth hundreds of millions, not an ordinary car. The manufacturer will not build it and wait for you to buy it. Each one is specially made, so the time is normal.
"Okay, I'm very satisfied with this model of aircraft. Now let's go back and decide on the interior layout and decoration of the cabin."
Back at Gulfstream's headquarters, Harris called in the company's interior designer.
Gu Wei briefly stated his idea and asked Nazha next to him for advice. Soon a preview picture was produced.
"Okay, let's do it this way."
Gu Wei made the final decision.
Then comes the step of signing a contract with Gulfstream and paying the money.
Yang Dan has already found a local professional lawyer to help him review the contract.
The Gulfstream G550, including the renovation, cost Gu Wei a total of US$45.65 million, or more than 300 million yuan.
Harris respectfully escorted Gu Wei and the others out of Gulfstream.
Nazha, sitting in the car, was still a little dazed. More than 300 million yuan was spent just on words, and her worldview was greatly impacted.
"Is it so easy to buy a plane worth over 300 million?"
She asked Gu Wei in a low voice.
"Of course, Gulfstream has been established for nearly 70 years and is the world's most professional manufacturer of business aircraft. They have an excellent reputation. We just need to select the model and interior, and leave the rest to them. It's very simple."
Gu Wei said it nonchalantly, as if he was spending not 300 million but 300 yuan.
“But, but”
Nazha talked for a long time but didn't say anything.
In the car behind, Yang Chaoyue and Yang Dan sat together.
Since the boss was not around, her lively personality came out again and she started chattering along with Yang Dan who was sitting next to her.
"Sister Dan, are we going to buy a large private jet today?"
“The boss bought it.”
Yang Dan emphasized on the side.
"Wow, this is too much. He just bought a plane worth over 300 million. The boss is so rich.
Do you think we can take a private jet from now on?"
As she spoke, she cupped her hands together, her little face slightly raised with a look of longing.
"I haven't taken many normal flights yet, but I never thought I'd be able to fly on a legendary private jet again. Since becoming my boss's assistant, life has been magical."
"The Gulfstream manager said it would take at least six months to build the plane."
Yang Dan looked at Yang Chaoyue with some amusement, but she could also understand. The little girl came from the countryside, and Gu Wei's living standard was completely beyond the reach of ordinary people. The two of them were from two completely different worlds.
"Huh? We have to wait another half a year! That foreigner is talking to the boss all the time, but I can't understand a word he's saying."
"You, besides working, you should also study and read more, and learn a little English. That way you won't be a life assistant for the rest of your life and you'll have room for advancement in the future."
Yang Dan said earnestly.
She had a good impression of Yang Chaoyue, the young girl who took over her original job. She was cute, cheerful and very likable.
"Study? I'm not cut out for that!"
When Yang Chaoyue heard the word "study", he quickly shook his head.
In addition to family reasons, her lack of interest in studying was also a major reason why she graduated from junior high school.
"Being a life assistant is pretty good. Life is so good now. If I could do this for the rest of my life, I would be so happy!"
She is content with what she has. When Yang Chaoyue first started working, she thought it was very good to have a job that pays 2,000 yuan with food and accommodation included. Now she works as an assistant to Gu Wei. Although she has no personal time and has to be on call 24 hours a day, the money she earns is more than she could have imagined before.
What's more, she can follow her boss around to see scenery she had never seen before and experience things that she would never have been able to experience in her life.
She felt that her current life was beyond her wildest dreams and she couldn't be more satisfied.
In the afternoon, Gu Wei and his party flew to Los Angeles, a famous city in the southwest.
Los Angeles is located in southwestern California, USA. It is the second largest city in the United States and the largest city in the western United States. It is often called the "City of Angels".
The world-famous film center Hollywood is located here, and of course there is also the San Fernando Valley, which is very famous in the minds of some people.
After getting off the plane, the group successfully checked into the local Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
In the luxurious presidential suite, Nazha threw herself onto the bed without any image.
"I've been traveling all day. I'm exhausted."
Gu Wei looked at her with a smile and changed his clothes slowly.
"I've made an appointment with the hotel's technician for a spa treatment. Do you want to join me?"
"Okay, okay~"
Upon hearing Gu Wei's invitation, Nazha immediately jumped up from the bed again.
"Hehe~"
Gu Wei just took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.
Nazha reached out and touched it with a silly smile on her face.
"Don't be weird!"
"Every time I see your body under your clothes, I sigh, how can these muscles be so perfect? It's as if they were sculpted by the most amazing artist."
Nazha reluctantly withdrew her dirty hands and exclaimed in admiration.
"What's perfect or imperfect? I've always been like this. Aren't you tired of seeing it?"
"I won't get tired of it. I'll never get tired of it in my entire life!"
Gu Wei smiled and said nothing.
After changing their clothes, the two of them relaxed completely under the guidance of the hotel's professional technicians.
At night, after a satisfying workout, Nazha fell into a deep sleep with a flushed face.
Gu Wei put on a silk pajamas, got out of bed and walked to the small balcony of the presidential suite.
This day's itinerary was nothing for his physique, and the activities he had just done with Nazha were just warm-up exercises. It was only because of Nazha's physical condition that he could only go so far.
The night is beautiful tonight, with a full moon hanging high in the sky.
The room they stayed in was on the top floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Looking down from the balcony, they could see half of the city.
Los Angeles is brightly lit at night, but its style is completely different from New York.
There are many skyscrapers in New York, which is more prosperous and commercial.
Los Angeles has a relatively softer temperament and feels like a tourist city.
Since becoming an actor, as he filmed more and more movies, Gu Wei has become more and more identified with his profession.
With his foresight and ability, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the top in China, but when he will be able to break out of the domestic entertainment industry and sweep the world with his "Chinese Wave" is completely unknown.
No one could do this in the original time and space until his rebirth.
However, a routine life will become boring sooner or later, and only challenging days can make people full of passion.
Gu Wei felt that sooner or later, he would bring his own works to North America and establish his own name in Hollywood, the world's film center.
Of course, we can't be impatient about this. Let's set a small goal first and become the number one in the domestic entertainment industry.
