Chapter 485 Buying a Private Jet Is Like Buying Vegetables

That night, the incident of Wei Yang being discovered and surrounded on the high-speed train became a hot topic on Weibo.

Some people also took a video. In the surging crowd, Wei Yang huddled in the corner of the carriage and "shivered". Under the maintenance of the high-speed rail staff, he signed autographs for the passengers one by one and met the needs of some passengers for group photos.

Many passengers also posted photos directly on the Internet, which attracted the attention of netizens and left envious comments.

Why didn't they encounter such a thing?

Some people also told the story of what happened. After Wei Yang was discovered, his identity was exposed because his fans were too excited.

Many passengers were excited to learn that they were 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 is also good to take a group photo with an autograph and go back to brag about it.

Luckily, the high-speed rail staff responded promptly at the time, and Wei Yang himself had some reputation and was able to gain the support of some passengers. The two sides worked together to appease the passengers and directly control the news only in the carriage.

Except for individual fans, most of the passengers are of relatively high quality. They are happy to see the stars and are even happier to take a group photo, but they are not crazy and out of control.

Friendly communication, Wei Yang met everyone's request for group photos and autographs, and everyone cooperated with the staff to avoid creating chaos, get what they need, and achieve a win-win situation.

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

And under his cover, or because of others' good luck, the other main creative staff of the "Chinatown Detective" crew were calm.

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

Now the box office of the movie is booming, and he is at his most popular. Drinking a cup of soy milk may be sweet or salty, which may be a hot search, not to mention the high-speed rail being blocked.

There are two main reasons why it can cause widespread heated discussion-

On the one hand, Wei Yang was disguised, but was directly recognized by people and forced to sign autographs and take photos, which is full of comedy elements.

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

At this time, the high-speed rail is still a civilian means of transportation for everyone, and even a little unfamiliar. Many people don’t know what the high-speed rail is, and they think that the high-speed rail is not much different from ordinary trains.

In the past, everyone's impression of the rich was luxury cars, yachts, and airplanes. As a result, it was natural that a rich man took the high-speed rail with ordinary people. It was naturally fresh.

Besides, Wei Yang was not an ordinary rich man. He was one of the most famous rich men. The two Ma and one Wang did not dare to say that they were better than him in this respect.

No one paid attention to the ordinary rich man taking a train, but many bored netizens discussed the famous rich.

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

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

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

And thanks to this hot search, he became more famous and even had a personal forum. The bodyguard Huo Jun also joked that if he really couldn't do it, he should ask the boss to change his career and become an artist.

Wei Fei gave him a middle finger in return!

Wei Fei knew very well that he was a bad guy. He couldn't even speak properly when filming, so he was a shit artist.

Besides, being with the boss is not bad at all. People respect him wherever he goes, the income is not low, and there are some small benefits every now and then.

Wei Yang had communicated with Wei Fei before, asking him if he had any idea of ​​working in the company. After all, he was young, and it was hard to guarantee that he would feel unbalanced if he was always around him.

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

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

Since then, Wei Fei's treatment has been upgraded, and his authority has been expanded. He has actually become the head of Wei Yang's private life team, but he prefers to do it himself and accompany the boss closely.

Bodyguard Huo Jun also has this habit.

He is the general head of the security team for Wei Yang's family and those close to him. He has a lot of people under him, but he often acts as the boss's bodyguard or driver himself. He never asks others to do things that he can do 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 him some face.

At the road show, Boss Wei was teased by the audience who saw the hot search, asking him about his train number and preparing to block him on the road.

Wei Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply said: "I will buy a private plane when I go back, and see how you block me."

Private plane!

Wei Yang has always had this plan, but he invested a lot of money in PPTV last year, and the funds in his hands are a bit tight. In addition, he is not particularly anxious, so he pressed it.

In fact, if Wei Yang had any important schedule before, there was a better way than normal flights, that is, chartering.

To put it bluntly, it is to rent a business jet.

Some people think that this is more cost-effective than private jets, because there is no need for maintenance and maintenance, just pay the money.

But renting is renting after all, and many aspects still need to be coordinated. The service level of this business in China has not come up, and in the minds of Chinese people, pigs are other people's things, and buying them makes you feel at ease, so the top rich people 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 big, and there is a financing plan, so Wei Yang has a lot more money in his hands.

Let alone other things, just this "Detective Chinatown", roughly calculated, at least 500 to 700 million yuan in profit, even if the cost and share are deducted, the remaining money is more than enough to buy a private jet.

After the road show, Wei Yang searched for information about private jets on the road.

Gao Yuanyuan next to him glanced at him and asked in surprise: "You really plan to buy one."

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

Gao Yuanyuan, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang and others were choked by this sentence, and they all closed their eyes and went to sleep. No, it was too uncomfortable, and they were afraid that they couldn't help but spit on someone.

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

"Hello, Mr. Liu, this is 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 not bad. So, if you are sure to buy it, let's make an appointment to buy it together, and we can get some discounts."

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

After Wei Yang hung up the phone, Gao Yuanyuan didn't pretend to be asleep anymore, and asked about the situation, who is Mr. Liu on the phone.

"Chairman of JD.com, he is also going to buy a plane recently."

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

Of course, Dong Ge of JD.com has also met and had dinner together. He almost invested in this company at the beginning, but unfortunately, due to various reasons in the end, the cooperation did not succeed.

With this origin, plus the fact that both of them were born in small cities, started from scratch, and their ages are not much different, and their wealth is similar, so the relationship is not bad.

At least compared to the older generation of entrepreneurs like Ma and Wang, Wei Yang and Liu Qiangdong have more private contacts.

"The one from JD."

Gao Yuanyuan was a little surprised. Brother Dong is still quite famous. He has always challenged Jack Ma to make a fuss, and then gradually became the second e-commerce company. Last year, JD went public, which created a wealth myth. His net worth soared, and he became one of the top richest people in China.

It is natural for such a rich man to buy a plane. Gao Yuanyuan didn't expect Wei Yang to be quite familiar with him.

But then again, Brother Dong has only been popular for the past two years. Wei Yang became famous much earlier than him, and his ranking was higher than his before that.

Although Brother Dong's net worth has soared, it is mainly because of JD's listing. It is hard to say how much capital he actually has compared to Boss Wei.

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

"Why, do you want to join?"

Wei Yang smiled, Gao Yuanyuan was not afraid, and begged: "Big brother, please take care of my sister."

Others also pricked up their ears quietly. Wei Yang and the boss of JD.com were both there, so there must be many big brothers in that group. If they could really get in, wouldn't they be rich?

Private social contact information is not something most people dare to ask for easily, but for a group, the threshold is not that high, and it is not uncommon for two small fish to get in.

It's just a pity that they encountered this group today. The threshold is extremely high, and not ordinary fish can get in.

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

In one sentence, everyone stopped asking.

For such a high-end group, let alone "small minions" like them, even if their boss was brought here, they could only watch helplessly.

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

The information on the Internet was complicated, and there was no roughly unified price. Gao Yuanyuan didn't understand it very well, but what was certain was that this plane was extremely expensive.

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

Gao Yuanyuan didn't dare to think about this price. She had been in the industry for so many years, and it was hard to earn so much money.

In Wei Yang's mouth, spending so much money on a private jet was as easy as buying vegetables at home tomorrow. The two of them decided it with a few words. It was so simple and fast that it was incredible.

Gao Yuanyuan, who had not slept enough these days and should have been exhausted, had insomnia...

...

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

On the contrary, as the box office continued to rise, everyone was excited and motivated.

Boss Wei wanted to make more money to buy a private jet. They couldn't afford it, but the higher the box office of the movie, the better their career would be. If they couldn't afford a plane, they still had the ability to buy a good car.

For the plane/luxury car, just go for it!

After six days of the Spring Festival, the overall film 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.

And when it came to the weekend, it ushered in a small explosion, with the 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 that, even the nearly 2 billion "Transformers 4" did not have this momentum.

On March 5, "Detective Chinatown" 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, online media, and various media have reported countless reports on "Detective Chinatown", and the news about this movie is overwhelming.

"Wei Yang's new box office has exceeded 1.5 billion, breaking the record of Chinese-language movies"

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

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

"Market value soars, Blue Whale's valuation has risen by nearly 40%, worth billions"

"Overseas film companies are snapping up, and Chinese comedies are about to go overseas"

"Behind the hot box office, small and medium-sized cities have entered the cinema era, and small town youth have become the main force of ticket warehouses"

"Thailand has set off a tourism boom again, and the leaders expressed their gratitude to "Detective Chinatown"

"..."

Wei Yang received more calls, and even he did not expect that when the box office of a movie reaches a certain level, it is no longer just a movie, and the economic effects and cultural influence derived from it are the most concerned.

The box office of the movie itself may be at most 2 billion, but the market it has leveraged is more than dozens of times, and there are countless articles that can be made.

Wei Yang finished the road show 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 by "Detective Chinatown"!

Wei Yang, who was in a good mood, was intercepted by Fatty Yu before he returned to the Magic City.

"Detective Chinatown" was a big hit, and Fatty Yu was sour, sad and happy.

The sourness was naturally envy. He had made so many movies, but he had never encountered such a profitable project. Not to mention him, who in the entire film and television industry would not be jealous of Wei Yang.

The most important thing is that "Detective Chinatown" is not a one-time deal. The easter eggs revealed that there are plans to shoot a sequel.

Wow, the first part is expected to make 2 billion, and how much money the second part will make, just thinking about it makes my heart tremble.

It's easy to worry about it. "Detective Chinatown" has been reaping box office revenue like crazy, and the movies in the same period have been affected badly.

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

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

As mentioned earlier, the producer of "The Man from Macau 2" is Bona, and Fatty Yu is naturally unhappy about the movie being affected.

"The Man from Macau 2" at least has good data on the surface, and it must make money.

Another movie "Dad's Holiday", which was shot by the original cast of the guests of the first season of "Where Are We Going, Dad", is estimated to have a box office of only 50 million yuan. You have to know that the salary of the guests and their sons is not low, and this box office is almost a loss.

And the one who is happy is naturally Wei Yang. "Detective Chinatown" is a big hit, Wei Yang is in the limelight, and his box office appeal is infinitely enhanced.

Bona holds Wei Yang's next film "Operation Mekong", so it seems that Fatty Yu has taken advantage of Wei Yang.

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

However, he was still a little awkward in his heart, and attacked Wei Yang at the wine table, wanting 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 his anger was not vented. In the end, Wei Yang ordered the driver to drag him back home like a dead pig, and even made Peacock Princess serve him for most of the night...
