Chapter 486 Buying a private jet is like buying groceries

That night, Boss Wei's discovery and blockage of the high-speed train became a hot search topic on Weibo.

Someone else took a video. In the huge crowd, Wei Yang shivered in the corner of the carriage. With the support of the high-speed rail staff, he signed autographs for the passengers one by one and met the needs of some passengers for photos.

Many passengers also directly posted photos online, attracting the attention of netizens and leaving envious messages.

Why hasn't this happened to me?

There is also a part that tells what happened. After Wei Yang was discovered, fans were too excited and suddenly exposed his identity.

Many passengers were a little excited when they learned that they were riding in the same carriage as a big star.

They may not necessarily like Wei Yang that much, but it is indeed a rare experience. It would be good to get an autograph, take a photo, and go back to brag about it.

Fortunately, the high-speed rail staff responded in a timely manner, and Wei Yang himself had some reputation and was able to gain the support of some passengers. The two parties worked together to appease the passengers and directly restricted the news to that car.

Except for a few fans, most of the passengers are of relatively high quality. They are happy to see celebrities and even more happy to take photos with them, but they are not too crazy or rude.

Friendly communication, Wei Yang met everyone's request for photos and signatures, and everyone cooperated with the staff to avoid creating confusion, each got what they needed, and achieved a win-win situation.

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

And under his cover, or maybe others were lucky, the rest of the crew of "Detective Chinatown" was fine.

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

Now that the movie box office is booming, he is at his most popular. Whether a cup of soy milk is sweet or salty may be a trending topic, not to mention the high-speed train is blocked.

The reason why it has aroused widespread heated discussion is mainly due to two points——

On the one hand, Wei Yang dressed up in disguise, but was directly recognized and forced to sign autographs and take photos, which has a strong comedy element.

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

At this time, high-speed rail is still a common means of transportation for everyone, and it is even somewhat unfamiliar. Many people do not know what high-speed rail is and think that there is not much difference between high-speed rail and ordinary trains.

In the past, everyone's impressions of rich people were all about luxury cars, yachts, and airplanes. But a rich man came out and took a high-speed train with ordinary people. It was naturally refreshing.

Moreover, Wei Yang is not an ordinary rich man, he is one of the most famous rich men. Even the two horses and the king dare not say that they can beat him in this aspect.

Generally, no one pays attention to whether a rich person makes a train or something, but a well-known rich person has a lot of boring netizens discussing it.

However, Wei Yang didn't take these to heart. It was not a scandal, not even a scandal, and it even had some positive image building.

But Wei Fei is still under great pressure, which is equivalent to Wei Yang taking the blame for him.

Since then, Wei Fei has learned his lesson and generally wears masks and other coverings in public places.

And thanks to this hot search, he has become even more famous. He even has a personal blog. His bodyguard Huo Jun even joked that if he really can't do it, he should ask his boss to change his career and become an artist.

Wei Fei gave him the middle finger!

Wei Fei is very clear about how many tricks he has. He is such a loser, he can't speak well when filming, and he is a piece of shit artist.

Besides, there is nothing worse than being with the boss. There are people who look up to me wherever I go, the income is not low, and there are some small benefits every now and then.

Wei Yang had communicated with Wei Fei before and asked him if he had any thoughts of working in the company. After all, he was young and had people around him all the time, so it was hard to keep his mind unbalanced.

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

But Wei Fei refused to leave, so he thought it would be better to stay by Wei Yang's side, rather than being a senior executive.

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

Bodyguard Huo Jun also has this habit.

He himself is the head of the security team for Wei Yang's family and those close to him. He has many people under his command, but he still often acts as the boss's bodyguard or driver. If he can do it himself, he will never rely on others.

This seemingly dishonest behavior made Wei Fei and Huo Jun's positions unbreakable, and they were always Wei Yang's most trusted confidants. Even Zhao and Liu had to sell a few points.

At the road show, Boss Wei was teased a few times by viewers who saw trending searches, asking 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 went to Versailles and said: "I will buy a private jet when I get 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 his funds were a little tight. Plus he wasn't in a particular hurry, so he couldn't press the button.

In fact, if Weiyang had any important itineraries before, there was a better way than normal flights, and that was chartered flights.

To put it bluntly, it is renting a business jet.

Some people think this is more cost-effective than a private jet, because there is no need for maintenance or anything, and you only have to pay for it.

But renting is renting after all, and many aspects still need to be coordinated. The service level of this aspect of domestic business has not improved. In the hearts of Chinese people, pigs are other people’s things. If you buy them, you will be safe. That’s why the top wealthy people buy private jets.

Moreover, buying an airplane is just like holding an annual meeting. It is also a way for companies to show their strength to the outside world.

This year, PPTV's investment is not that large, and there is a financing plan. Wei Yang's money is much richer.

Apart from other things, by rough calculation, this "Detective Chinatown" alone will make a profit of at least 5 million to 7 million. Even if the cost and share are excluded, the remaining amount is more than enough to buy a private jet.

After the road show ended, Wei Yang went straight to search for information on private jets on the road.

Gao Yuanyuan next to him glanced at it and asked in surprise: "Are you really planning to buy it?"

Wei Yang looked indifferent: "It's only a few hundred million, but it's not expensive."

Gao Yuanyuan, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang and others were so choked by these words that they closed their eyes and went to sleep. No, it was too uncomfortable. They were afraid that they could not help but spit on someone.

Wei Yang ignored these people, searched, and saw a message. Then he opened WeChat and browsed for a while, then immediately made a call on his mobile phone.

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

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

"Gulfstream G650? I know this aircraft. It's pretty good. If you decide to buy it, let's make an appointment to buy it together so we can get some discounts."

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

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

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

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

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

Because of this connection, and the fact that both of them were from small cities and started from scratch, they are about the same age and have similar net worth, they have a good relationship. At least compared to the older generation of entrepreneurs like Two Horses and One King, Wei Yang and Liu Qiangdong have more private interactions.

"The one from Jingdong."

Gao Yuanyuan was a little surprised. Brother Dong is quite famous, mainly because he has been challenging Jack Ma Pengci, and then he gradually became the second e-commerce company. Last year, JD.com went public and staged a wealth myth. His worth soared. Become the top rich man in the country.

It was no problem for such a rich man to buy a plane. Gao Yuanyuan did not expect that Wei Yang was quite familiar with him.

But having said that, Brother Dong has only started to become popular in the past two years. Wei Yang became famous much earlier than him, and his ranking was higher than him before that.

Although Dong Ge's net worth has soared, it is mainly due to the listing of JD.com. It is difficult to say that the actual capital is compared to Boss Wei.

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

"What, you want to come in?"

Wei Yang seemed to be smiling, but Gao Yuanyuan was not afraid. He raised his face and begged: "Boss, please take care of my sister."

Others also quietly pricked up their ears. Wei Yang and the boss of Jingdong were both there. There must be a lot of big shots in that group. If they could really get in, wouldn't they be prosperous?

Most people don't dare to ask for private social contact information, but in a group, the threshold is not that high, and it's not unusual to have two little miscellaneous fish in the mix.

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

Wei Yang told them directly: "Whenever your net worth exceeds tens of billions, come to me and I will recruit you into the group."

One sentence stopped everyone's inquiries.

This high-end group, let alone "little minions" like them, can only watch helplessly when their boss is brought here.

Wei Yang saw that everyone was calm, closing their eyes and concentrating. Others had different thoughts. Gao Yuanyuan took his mobile phone and quietly searched for the price of the [Gulfstream G650] that Wei Yang mentioned just now.

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

It would cost about 4 million to 5 million yuan to win. Even if the price is not accurate and various discounts are included, it will not be less than 3 million yuan.

The price is so high that Yuanyuan can't even imagine it. She has been in the industry for so many years and has made so much money.

According to Wei Yang, spending so much money to buy a private jet is as easy as buying groceries at home tomorrow. The two of them decided in just a few words. It was incredibly simple and fast.

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

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

For airplanes/luxury cars, just rush!

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 5000 million during the post-holiday working period.

And when the weekend came, it ushered in a small explosion, with the box office exceeding 100 million in a single day for two consecutive days, which made the entire film industry look at it.

This performance can no longer be described as an exaggeration. Before this, even the nearly 20 billion "Transformers 4" did not have this momentum.

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

The whole country was in an uproar!

Online and offline, print media and online media, various media have countless reports on "Detective Chinatown", and the news about this movie is overwhelming.

"The box office of Wei Yang's new film exceeds 15 billion, setting a new record for Chinese-language films"

"Smashing the 20 billion box office mark, "Detective Chinatown" aims to become the champion in film history"

"Box office darlings, Wei Yang and Wang Baoqiang both became Mr. 30 billion box office"

"Market value soared, Blue Whale's valuation increased by nearly 40%, worth billions"

"Overseas film producers are rushing to buy, Chinese comedies are about to go overseas"

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

"Thailand is experiencing a tourism boom again, and leaders express their gratitude to "Detective Chinatown""

"..."

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

The movie itself may only have a box office of over 20 billion at most, but the market it leverages is dozens of times larger, and there are countless articles that can be done.

Wei Yang finished the road show and went to the capital overnight to report. When he came out of several units, his eyes were frighteningly bright.

This trip to the capital is so worth it, even more than earning hundreds of millions from "Detective Chinatown"!

Wei Yang, who was in a happy mood, was intercepted by Fatty Yu before he could return to the Magic City.

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

Suan is naturally envious. He has made so many movies, but has never encountered such a profitable project. Let alone him, who in the entire film and television industry is not jealous of Wei Yang.

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

Darling, the first part is expected to earn 20 billion. Thinking about how much money the second part will make makes my heart tremble.

It's easy to say that "Detective Chinatown" has been collecting box office like crazy, and the movies in the same period have been badly affected.

In the previous life, "Macau Storm 2" had a box office of 9 million+, but judging from the current momentum, it will be very popular if it reaches 8 million.

This is because "Macau 2" is also a comedy. Other movies are even worse. The average revenue of each movie is more than 2 million less than in the previous life.

As mentioned before, "Macau 2" was produced by Bona, so Fatty Yu was naturally unhappy that the movie was implicated.

"Macau Storm 2" at least has good data on the outside, and it will definitely make money.

Another movie, "Daddy's Holiday", made by the original guest cast of the first season of "Where Are We Going, Dad", has a box office estimate of only 5000 million. You must know that the salaries of the guest father and son are not low. The box office is almost as much as grandma's money. Home.

Naturally, Wei Yang is the one who is happy. "Detective Chinatown" is a huge hit. Wei Yang has unlimited fame and unlimited box office appeal.

And Bona is holding Wei Yang's next movie "Operation Mekong" in his hands. Looking at it this way, Fatty Yu is simply taking advantage of it.

Therefore, Fatty Yu, who was in a complicated mood, did not dare to show mercy when he came to Wei Yang, who wanted to eat, drink and entertain him.

However, he still felt a little awkward in his heart, so he attacked Wei Yang at the wine table, trying to make him drink away his bad breath. He knew that Wei Yang had a good drinker, so he specially invited two drinkers to sit with him.

Unfortunately, he still underestimated Wei Yang's drinking capacity and did not get angry. In the end, Wei Yang ordered the driver to drag him home like a pig to death, and even made the Peacock Princess wait on him for most of the night...
