Chapter 305: Shanghai Market (3/5)
The company is not busy, except for the Penguin roadshow, everything else can be handed over to the company's executives.
Spend money to hire these professional managers, and they are not here to provide for the elderly, the problems of daily operations can be dealt with, Blake will temporarily help at the beginning of the roadshow, Lily's mother and Su Mu's parents will take care of Lily, Su Mu embarked on a journey to China, riding on Mr. Ellison's Boeing 747-400 passenger plane converted into a private jet.
After seeing it up and down, I clearly realized that the plane that cost nearly $300 million is different from my own Gulfstream IV, which is simply one day and one place, both spacious and luxurious, and there is no need to store luggage like an ordinary passenger plane underneath, it has been transformed into a bedroom and garage, and a door is specially made in the tail, which can park three or four cars, and the second floor has a small bar, a movie theater, a pool table, etc.
The smaller one on the top is Ellison's private bedroom, which can be visited, but he can't sleep on that bed, Su Mu still remembers when he said this, looking at his disgusted expression, maybe because he didn't expect Su Muzhen to come and borrow a plane from him, Ellison would rather lend his lover to Su Mu than this new plane to be "defiled" by outsiders.
It's a five-star presidential suite flying in the air, when Su Mu saw a cabinet full of all kinds of famous wine, as well as four luxury cars of different styles in the bottom warehouse, he couldn't help but think that it was really a penny for a penny, this is the real enjoyment, and his own can only be called a transportation plane, probably like the difference between Ferrari and Toyota AE86, people are more popular than people.
Ordinary people want to go from the United States to China, or from China to the United States, they can only go to Xiangjiang first, wasting too much time in vain, the relations between the two countries have improved a whole few years ago, with the decline of the Soviet Union, the United States again regards this big country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean as a competitor, cunning rabbits to death, lackeys cooking, this sentence is the current situation, the US fleet dares to trespass into the coastal waters to demonstrate.
Su Mu has a private jet, and the distance of a Boeing 747 from California's Silicon Valley to China's Shanghai is enough, and he has asked the ambassador to the United States to help, and the relevant departments have already arranged the route.
The Su family has been leaving the land of Huaxia for nearly a hundred years, and they have not come back once during the period, in order to avoid the war, they really can't live before leaving, when they left, it was the Qing Dynasty, and now it is New China, and at this moment he saw the horizon outside the window, and he smiled brightly.
I am about to come to a country with the same skin color and cultural background as myself, and I can still remember that in 1979, when the ice of Sino-US relations was broken, the short old man surnamed Deng visited the United States, which was like injecting a boost to the Chinese people in the United States, making them understand that the motherland may not be rich or strong enough, but they are always concerned about the safety of all Chinese people in the world.
The sentence after that: "There is a view that China is very weak and poor, and the equipment is backward, so China is insignificant and a country that does not deserve attention." But we have the advantage of being big, and we don't believe in evil. Those who misjudge China's position in world politics will not have a correct international strategy at least. It was published in Time magazine, which greatly changed many people's impression of China.
It is indeed a very bold old man, not big, but very imposing.
There are too many negative reports about this country in the United States, so that Su Mu has a bad impression, but when he really saw the red flag flying on the roof of the airport building, he was eager to see it with his own eyes and understand the country.
Before the plane landed, Su Mu learned one thing - this metropolis of external development does not have the appearance of a metropolis at all, and there are not even a few tall buildings.
It is hard to imagine that in the future, the country will develop into the world's second largest economy in just three decades......
******************
The bodyguards and Allen's assistant followed, in addition to them, there was also Li Ping'an, who came with a dead face, what made Su Mu embarrassed was that he did not have an entry visa, fortunately an official came, just registered the passport information, and turned a blind eye to the four luxury cars that came out of the plane, did not say that they wanted to change the license plate or something, and also registered a license plate.
A car with an American license plate entered the airport in this way, and a fiery red Ferrari made many airport staff stare intently, and when they looked at it, they found that they did not know the car logo, which was just expensive! It was similar to those cars printed on the calendar.
The matter of the plane still needs to be dealt with, Su Mudang interpreter asked the captain to communicate with the airport, need to carry out a routine maintenance, refueling is also particular, this Boeing 747-400 is larger than other ordinary planes around, and an old mechanic couldn't help but ask: "Which airline's plane is this? I see that there is no company name on the fuselage, how can I still install a car?"
Su Mu didn't care, and replied with a smile: "My friend's private jet, he bought it for his own use, and asked the company to help modify it, and other planes don't have this cabin door." ”
As soon as he heard this, the mechanic was so frightened that he couldn't speak, now domestic airlines don't even have 737, most of them are short-haul planes, and the ticket price is scary, compared to the low salary, the ticket price of hundreds of yuan is indeed a bit high, and it is difficult to buy.
Some time ago, there was a 747, and the old mechanic had heard of the price, which was two or three billion yuan! When he learned that it was someone's private jet, he gasped again and again, and then felt that Su Mu was talking big, how much money does it take to afford it?
……
Su Mu has an understanding of the economic situation in China today, now it is not even a market economy, the previous decades of development behind closed doors on its own, its own set of economic system, fragile to face external shocks, not to mention the rich California, even the relatively ordinary GDP of Texas, is more than the GDP of all private enterprises here combined, in recent years, the state-owned industry has been opened up, but it is far from enough.
Because of the knowledge of the wealth of the United States, there has been a huge wave of studying in the United States in recent years, and the long-closed country has opened again, and countless young people have turned their curious eyes to the outside world.
There are too many people going to the United States, resulting in a lot of higher rents in Chinatown, the first international students to go abroad are selected, and what really stirs up the society and people's hearts is that after the opening of self-funded study abroad, there are dreams broken in front of the American embassy every day, and some people describe the "fever of going abroad" as a "victorious escape".
The income of working on a construction site in the United States for a day, converted by exchange rate, is higher than the income of a month in China, and it is normal for there to be a boom in going to the United States.
In order to go abroad, some people borrow money from relatives and friends, and some people use all the overseas connections they can use, and many people think that only by going abroad can they have a bright future.
At first glance, it was strange that someone would use two or three billion yuan to buy an airplane, just to sit for himself, and the old technical union believed that it was strange, with his "high salary" of more than 600 yuan a month, he couldn't imagine what kind of life it was......
