Chapter 485 Buying a private jet is like buying vegetables



That night, the news that Boss Wei’s high-speed train was discovered and blocked became a hot topic on Weibo.

Some people also took videos. Amid the surging crowd, Wei Yang huddled in the corner of the carriage and "shivered". With the support of the high-speed rail staff, he signed autographs for all the passengers and satisfied the photo requests of some passengers.

Many passengers also posted photos directly online, attracting the attention of netizens who left envious comments.

How come I haven't encountered such a thing?

There is also a part that tells what happened. After Wei Yang was discovered, his fans were so excited that they exposed his identity all at once.

Many passengers were excited to learn that they would be sitting in the same carriage with a big star.

They may not like Wei Yang very much, but it is indeed a rare experience. It would be nice to get an autograph and take a photo with him so they can brag about it when they go back.

Fortunately, the high-speed rail staff responded promptly, and Wei Yang himself had some reputation and was able to gain support from some passengers. The two sides worked together to calm the passengers and kept the news confined to that carriage.

Except for a few fans, most of the passengers were of relatively good quality. They were happy to see the stars and even happier to take photos with them, but they were not so crazy as to lose their composure.

They communicated in a friendly manner, Wei Yang met everyone's requests for photos and autographs, and everyone cooperated with the staff to avoid creating chaos, and everyone got what they needed, achieving a win-win situation.

So, after being a "zoo gorilla" for a few hours and signing some autographs and taking some photos, Wei Yang escaped safely.

And under his protection, or perhaps because of other people's good luck, the other creative staff of "Detective Chinatown" crew were all safe and sound.

Wei Yang's experience has been hotly discussed among netizens.

The movie box office is booming now, and he is at the peak of his popularity. Whether a cup of soy milk is sweet or salty may become a hot topic on the Internet, not to mention the high-speed rail traffic jam.

There are two main reasons why it has sparked widespread discussion:

On the one hand, Wei Yang was in disguise, but was immediately recognized and forced to sign autographs and take photos, which created a strong comedic element.

Another reason is that Wei Yang is not an ordinary star after all, he is also a top billionaire.

At that time, high-speed rail was still a civilian means of transportation for everyone, and it was even somewhat unfamiliar. Many people did not know what high-speed rail was, and thought that there was not much difference between high-speed rail and ordinary trains.

In the past, everyone’s impression of rich people was luxury cars, yachts, and airplanes, but it was naturally fresh to see a rich person taking a high-speed train with ordinary people.

Besides, Wei Yang is not just an ordinary rich man, he is one of the most famous rich men, and neither the two Ma and one Wang dare to say that they are better than him in this respect.

Normally, no one would pay attention to a wealthy person building a train or something, but when it comes to famous wealthy people, there will be a lot of bored netizens discussing it.

However, Wei Yang did not take these to heart. It was not a scandal, not even a gossip, and it even created a positive image.

But Wei Fei was still under a lot of pressure, as it was equivalent to Wei Yang taking the blame for him.

Since then, Wei Fei has learned his lesson and usually wears a mask to cover himself in public.

And thanks to this hot search, he became even more famous and even had his own forum. His bodyguard Huo Jun even joked that if he really couldn't make it, he should ask his boss to change careers and become an artist.

Wei Fei gave him a middle finger in return! Wei Fei knew very well what he was capable of. With his lame appearance, he couldn't even speak clearly during filming, so he was a lousy artist.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with being with the boss. People respect you wherever you go, the income is not low, and there are some small benefits every now and then.

Wei Yang had discussed with Wei Fei before and asked him if he had any idea of ​​working in the company. After all, he was young and it was hard for him to feel unbalanced if he was always surrounded by people.

The most important thing for an assistant is loyalty. If he becomes resentful towards his boss, it will be troublesome. So even though Wei Yang likes Wei Fei very much, he still has to consider his future.

But Wei Fei refused to leave. He felt that it was good to be with Wei Yang and would not do that even if offered a senior executive position.

Since then, Wei Fei's treatment has been raised to a higher level, and his authority has also been expanded. He has actually become the head of Wei Yang's personal life team, but he prefers to do things himself and accompany his boss closely.

Bodyguard Huo Jun also has this habit.

He is the chief security team leader for Wei Yang's family and those close to them. Although he has many subordinates, he often acts as his boss's bodyguard or driver himself. He will never delegate tasks to others if he can do it himself.

This seemingly unprofessional behavior made Wei Fei and Huo Jun's status unbreakable. They have always been Wei Yang's most trusted confidants, and even Zhao and Liu have to give them some face.

At the roadshow, Boss Wei was teased by the audience who saw the trending search, who asked him about his train number and prepared to block him on the road.

Wei Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he just said, "I'll buy a private jet when I get back, and see how you guys can stop me."

Private jet!

Wei Yang has always had this plan, but he invested a lot of money in PPTV last year, so he was a little short of funds, and he was not in a hurry, so he put it on hold.

In fact, if Wei Yang had any important plans before, there would be a better way than normal flights, that is chartering a plane.

To put it simply, it means renting a business jet.

Some people think this is more cost-effective than a private jet because there is no need for upkeep or anything like that, all you have to do is pay for it.

But renting is renting after all, and many aspects still need to be coordinated. The service level of this business in China has not yet improved. In addition, in the minds of Chinese people, pigs belong to other people, and buying them makes them feel at ease, so top billionaires all buy private jets.

Moreover, buying planes, like holding an annual meeting, is also a way for a company to demonstrate its strength to the outside world.

PPTV's investment this year is not that large, and there is a financing plan, so Wei Yang has a lot more money in his hands.

Not to mention anything else, just this "Detective Chinatown" alone, according to rough calculations, made a profit of at least 500 to 700 million yuan. Even after deducting the costs and commissions, the remaining money would be more than enough to buy a private jet.

After the roadshow, Wei Yang started searching for information about private jets on the road.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing next to him, took a quick glance and asked in surprise, "Are you really planning to buy it?"

Wei Yang said calmly: "It's just a few hundred million, it's not expensive."

Gao Yuanyuan, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang and others were choked by these words and closed their eyes to sleep. No, it was too uncomfortable and they were afraid that they would not be able to help but spit at someone.

Wei Yang ignored these people and searched until he saw a message. He opened WeChat and browsed for a while, then immediately took out his phone to make a call.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, I'm Wei Yang."

"Yes, yes, I saw in the group that you are planning to buy a plane recently. Do you have any recommendations for reference?"

"Gulfstream G650? I know this plane, it's pretty good. If you want to buy it, let's make an appointment and buy it together. We can get some discounts."

"Okay, it's settled. I'll wait for your call."

After Wei Yang hung up the phone, Gao Yuanyuan stopped pretending to be asleep and started to inquire about the situation and who was Mr. Liu on the phone.

"The chairman of JD.com is also going to buy a plane recently."

After taking over PPTV, Wei Yang is now not only a film and television boss, but with some other investments, he is also a well-known boss in the Internet.

Naturally, I had also met Dong Ge from JD.com and had dinner together. He even almost invested in this company. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the cooperation did not succeed in the end.

Because of this connection, and the fact that both of them were born in small cities, started from scratch, are not much different in age, and have similar wealth, they have a good relationship.

“The one from JD.”

Gao Yuanyuan was a little dazed. Dong Ge was quite famous, mainly because he had always challenged Jack Ma to make fraudulent claims, and then slowly became the second largest e-commerce company. Last year, his listing on JD.com created a wealth myth, and his net worth soared, making him one of the richest people in China.

It was natural for such a rich man to buy a plane. Gao Yuanyuan didn't expect that Wei Yang was quite familiar with the other party.

But then again, Dong Ge has only been on the rise in the past two years, while Wei Yang became famous much earlier than him and was ranked higher than him before that.

Although Dong Ge's net worth has skyrocketed, it is mainly due to JD.com's listing. It is hard to say how much his actual capital is compared to that of Boss Wei.

Gao Yuanyuan started gossiping about Brother Dong and his milk tea sister, and also asked about the group Wei Yang mentioned, which sounded high-end.

"Why, you want to come in?"

Wei Yang smiled, Gao Yuanyuan was not afraid either, she looked up and begged: "Boss, please take care of my sister."

The others also pricked up their ears quietly. Wei Yang and the boss of JD.com were both there, so there must be a lot of big shots in that group. If one could really get in, wouldn’t he be rich?

Most people don’t dare to ask for private social contact information easily, but for a group, the threshold is not that high, and it’s not uncommon for a few small fry to sneak in.

Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!

It’s just a pity that they encountered this group today. The threshold for joining is extremely high and not everyone can get in.

Wei Yang told them directly: "When your net worth exceeds 10 billion, come to me and I will add you to the group."

In one sentence, everyone was blocked from asking questions.

In this kind of high-end group, let alone the "small fry" like them, even if they bring their bosses over, they can only watch helplessly.

Wei Yang saw that everyone was quiet and closed their eyes to rest. The others had different thoughts. Gao Yuanyuan took out her phone and quietly searched the price of the [Gulfstream G650] that Wei Yang had just mentioned.

There is a lot of mixed information online, and there is no roughly uniform price. Gao Yuanyuan doesn't quite understand it, but what is certain is that this plane is extremely expensive.

It would cost about 400 to 500 million yuan to get it. Even if the stated price is not accurate, with various discounts, it would not be less than 300 million yuan.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't even imagine this price. She has been in the industry for so many years, and it is unlikely that she could earn that much money.

But in Wei Yang's words, spending so much money to buy a private jet was as easy as buying groceries for the family tomorrow. It was done in just a few words between the two of them. It was incredibly simple and quick.

Gao Yuanyuan, who should have been exhausted from not getting enough sleep these days, suffered from insomnia...

Gao Yuanyuan's loneliness did not affect the combat effectiveness of the entire crew of "Detective Chinatown".

On the contrary, as the box office continues to rise, everyone is excited and motivated.

Boss Wei wants to make more money to buy a private jet. They can't afford it, but the higher the box office of the movie, the better their career will be. Even if they can't afford a plane, they still have the ability to buy a good car.

For the sake of airplanes/luxury cars, just go for it! Six days after the Spring Festival, the overall movie market fell, but even so, "Detective Chinatown" still maintained an average daily box office of more than 50 million during the post-holiday working period.

By the weekend, it saw a small explosion, with the daily box office exceeding 100 million for two consecutive days, which attracted the attention of the entire film industry.

This performance can no longer be described as exaggerated. Before this, even "Transformers 4", which grossed nearly 2 billion, did not have this momentum.

On March 5, "Detective Chinatown 3" was released for half a month, with a cumulative box office of 1.67 billion yuan.

The whole country was in an uproar! Online and offline, print media, and online media, there were countless reports on "Detective Chinatown", and the news about this movie was overwhelming.

"Wei Yang's new film box office exceeds 1.5 billion, breaking the record of Chinese-language films"

"Breaking the 2 billion box office mark, Detective Chinatown aims to be the best in film history"

"Box office darlings, Wei Yang and Wang Baoqiang both become 3 billion box office men"

"Market value surges, Blue Whale's valuation rises by nearly 40%, worth billions"

Overseas film producers rush to buy, Chinese comedy is about to go abroad

"Behind the hot box office, small and medium-sized cities have entered the cinema era, and young people from small towns have become the main force of ticket sales"

"Thailand is experiencing a new tourism boom, and leaders express gratitude for Detective Chinatown"

《……》

Wei Yang received more calls. Even he did not expect that when the box office of a movie reached a certain level, it would no longer be just a movie. The economic effects and cultural influence derived from it would be what attracted the most attention.

The box office of the movie itself may be only a few billion at most, but the market it leverages is dozens of times larger, and the opportunities it can create are countless.

Wei Yang finished his roadshow and reported to Beijing overnight. When he came out of several units, his eyes were bright and scary.

This trip to Beijing was worth it, more worth it than the hundreds of millions earned from "Detective Chinatown"! Wei Yang was in a good mood, but before he could return to the Magic City, he was intercepted by Fatty Yu.

"Detective Chinatown" was a huge hit, and Fatty Yu felt sad, worried and happy at the same time.

Of course, they are jealous. He has made so many movies, but has never encountered such a profitable project. Not to mention him, everyone in the entire film and television industry is jealous of Wei Yang.

The most important thing is that "Detective Chinatown" is not a one-off deal. The easter eggs reveal that there are plans to make a sequel.

Wow, the first film is expected to make 2 billion, how much money will the second film make? It makes me shudder just thinking about it.

It’s easy to be worried. “Detective Chinatown 3” has reaped crazy box office revenue, and the movies released during the same period have been badly affected.

In the previous life, "The Man from Macau 2" had a box office of over 900 million, and judging from the current momentum, it would be a blessing if it could reach 800 million.

This is because "The Man from Macau 2" is also a comedy. Other movies are even worse, with each movie making an average of more than 200 million less than the previous life.

As mentioned before, the producer of "From Vegas to Macau 2" is Bona, and Fatty Yu is naturally unhappy that the movie was implicated.

"The Man from Macau 2" at least has good data on the surface and is definitely making money.

Another movie called "Dad's Vacation", which was made by the original crew of the first season of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", has an estimated box office of only 50 million. You have to know that the pay of those guests, fathers and sons, is not low, so the box office revenue is basically a loss.

The one who is happy is naturally Wei Yang. "Detective Chinatown" was a huge hit, and Wei Yang became extremely successful, and his box office appeal was infinitely enhanced.

Bona has Wei Yang's next film "Operation Mekong" in its hands. From this perspective, Fatty Yu has gotten a great bargain.

Therefore, when Fatty Yu, who was in a complicated mood, intercepted Wei Yang, he did not dare to show any displeasure and treated him well with good food and drinks.

However, he still felt a little awkward in his heart, so he attacked Wei Yang at the table, hoping to get him drunk to vent his anger. He knew that Wei Yang had a good alcohol tolerance, so he specially invited two people who could drink to sit with him.

Unfortunately, he still underestimated Wei Yang's alcohol tolerance, and he was unable to vent his anger. In the end, Wei Yang ordered the driver to drag him back home like a dead pig, and even made the Peacock Princess wait on him for most of the night...
