Chapter 849: Follow-up Invitation
After Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu boarded the helicopter, they took the headset from the pilot and put it on their heads. The engine is loud when the helicopter is flying, so it is easy to talk with a headset and listen to the pilot's introduction.
Soon, the pilot started the helicopter, and the propellers began to rotate slowly, and faster and faster, creating a huge air current. As the noise of the helicopter engine climbed, the plane slowly left the ground and flew into the air.
Zhang Jingchu always thought about the place of marriage, completely ignoring the discomfort caused by the helicopter taking off, and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. The first thing that catches Zhang's first eye is the Four Seasons Resort, followed by Hulop Beach and the turquoise sea. Looking out from the air at the various people swimming, entertaining, and basking in the sun on the beach is a different feeling. The helicopter flies over the resort, over Hulopoe Beach and slowly moves forward.
Since Zhang Ran was looking for a beautiful beach suitable for marriage, the helicopter flew along the coastline at an altitude of only more than 300 meters. While flying, the pilot introduced Zhang Ran and them from time to time.
In the midst of the introduction, picturesque beaches such as Hulopoe Beach, Polihua Beach, and Shipwreck Beach were quickly left behind by helicopters and headed towards unexplored areas.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ran was lying on the hatch looking at the scenery, Zhang Jingchu suddenly pointed to the northwest and said excitedly: "Zhang Ran, look at that beach is so beautiful, really beautiful!"
Zhang Ran turned his head to look over, and there was a white sand beach under a red cliff. From far to near, the sea water gradually changes from blue to light green, which is the kind of light green that can penetrate people's hearts, like a warm emerald, which is so beautiful that people are intoxicated. Zhang Ran asked the pilot: "What is the name of this beach?"
The pilot replied: "There is no name, this area is not developed, the cliffs are steep, and no one has come here at all." ”
Zhang Jingchu originally wanted to find a place that few people used as a place to get married, and if too many people had married in one place, it would be a bit boring in her opinion. That's why they came to Lanai and not to other islands. She touched Zhang Ran beside her with her elbow and said excitedly, "Let's go down and have a look!"
Zhang Ran looked at the beach, which seemed to be quite wide, and asked the pilot, "Can you land on the beach?"
The pilot said, "Yes!"
Zhang Ran said: "Please land on the beach, we want to go down and have a look!"
The pilot immediately steered the helicopter down and landed steadily on the beach, the powerful air currents created by the propellers blowing the calm sea.
Getting off the helicopter, Zhang Jingchu looked up at the beach in front of her, which was about 4.5 kilometers long, and the sand was pure white, which contrasted with the red cliffs behind her. Zhang Jingchu reached out and grabbed a handful, the sand was delicate and soft, shining dazzlingly in the sun. The sea water in this area is exceptionally clear, the sea water near the coast is light green, the distant part becomes sky blue, and the farther place is blue, the blue sea surface and the blue sky and white clouds echo each other, like a fairyland on earth, so beautiful that people are intoxicated.
Zhang Jingchu was extremely satisfied with the scenery in front of her, this was simply a beach that had appeared countless times in her dreams, she pulled Zhang Ran's arm, and said with a little excitement: "Zhang Ran, this beach is what I want, let's choose this place, okay?"
Zhang Ran also felt that this beach was very beautiful, and nodded: "I also think it's good here." ”
When Zhang Jing first heard Zhang Ran say this, she showed a bright smile and ran like a happy bird on the beach. She gestured and began to think about how to set up the wedding scene, with the ceremony area on the left, wrapped in pure white chairs in light blue tulle, and made a unique canopy with white veils. There is also an arch of flowers on the beach, and the faint flowers always exude an attractive fragrance. Behind the arch is to lay a passage sprinkled with rose petals, and a row of small sand sculptures is made on both sides of the passage, decorated with flowers.
Zhang Ran sat on the beach, smiling at Zhang Jingchu running around on the beach to design the wedding scene. He believes that in the next few months, all of Zhang Jingchu's thoughts will probably be on this matter.
At this moment, Zhang Ran's mobile phone rang suddenly, he glanced at the number, his expression was solemn, and he quickly connected: "Hello, I'm Zhang Ran!"
On the other end of the phone was a man's voice: "Comrade Zhang Ran, hello! I am a staff member of the Department of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Commerce. In this way, the country's leaders will visit the United States in the near future, and they will be accompanied by a business delegation composed of well-known domestic entrepreneurs. The leader specially named you and the peak of the century, hoping that you can accompany you to visit the United States. ”
Zhang Ran heard that a leader was going to visit the United States, and called his name, and asked curiously: "I don't know which leader it is?"
The other party smiled and said, "I don't know about this, because it involves the principle of confidentiality, and it can't be leaked casually." ”
Zhang Ran nodded, the itinerary of the central leader must not be revealed casually, since the leader named himself, he must not refuse, but he felt that he should ask the time clearly, so that it would be easy to make arrangements, so he said: "I don't know what time it is?"
The other party laughed again: "This involves the principle of confidentiality, and it cannot be disclosed for the time being." You will be notified when the itinerary comes out. ”
Zhang Ran knew that the leader's travel time also needed to be kept secret, he thought for a while and asked: "I don't know which companies will visit this time?
The other party hesitated and said: "So far, Wanxiang Group, Lenovo Group, China Investment Company, Haier Group have been invited, and a large number of entrepreneurs will be invited in the future." ”
Zhang Ran was secretly surprised when he heard this, these companies are all the leading large groups in China, and with such a big battle, it seems that this visit to the United States should be a big leader! However, Zhang Ran didn't have the heart to guess which leader was going to visit the United States, he had never visited with the leader, and he didn't know the rules and procedures, so he hurriedly asked: "What preparations do I need to make, and do I need to go with the leader at that time?"
The other party explained: "The entrepreneur delegation is not included in the list of follow-up personnel, and the entrepreneur is to cooperate with the visit, not as an official entourage of the delegation. Entrepreneurs do not take special planes, but take flights to arrive in advance, and the expenses of entrepreneurs are also borne by themselves. ”
Zhang Ran was a little disappointed, he thought that he had the opportunity to take the leader's special plane, but he didn't expect that he would arrive early by plane, and asked: "Since it is a visit in the form of an economic and trade delegation, do we need to act in a unified manner, unify accommodation and so on?"
The other party replied: "There is no mandatory arrangement for this, everyone can act collectively or freely." ”
After a brief understanding of the follow-up rules, Zhang Ran hung up the phone. But at the same time as hanging up the phone, Zhang Jingchu screamed "ah", Zhang Ran was startled, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Jingchu ran to Zhang Ran in a panic, pointed to both ends of the beach, and said anxiously: "Zhang Ran, the road on this beach is impassable, there are cliffs on both sides, there is no way to get to this beach, what can I do!"
Zhang Ran was stunned, and hurriedly went to the left and right sides of the beach to take a look, and there were indeed cliffs on both sides of the beach, and there was no way to go. But it's not strange to think about it, if it weren't for the impassable road, how could such a beautiful beach not be developed! He pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly had an idea, looked at Zhang Jingchu's anxious face, and asked: "Jingchu, do you really like this beach and really want to hold a wedding here?"
When Zhang Jingchu heard Zhang Ran say this, she knew that he must have a way, so she hurriedly said, "I really like it, do you have a way?"
Zhang Ran patted Zhang Jingchu's head and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, isn't it okay to build a road on the cliff, and you can even build a glass plank road like Zhangjiajie!"
Zhang Jingchu looked up at the cliff and pouted, "How can people build a road for us?"
"I'm afraid it will cost tens of millions of dollars to build a road here, and Murdoch may naturally pay this money!" Zhang Ran looked up at the cliff and said with a faint smile, "We can, we can just buy this island, after we buy it, we will build the road ourselves, and after we buy it, this island will be ours, how do you want to get it!"
"Buy?" Zhang Jingchu was slightly stunned, and then her heartbeat began to accelerate, buy a private island?
Now that those who buy yachts and live in luxury homes have been eliminated by Hollywood stars who are at the forefront of fashion, and now owning a private island is the most fashionable way to enjoy, and more and more celebrities are willing to buy an island of their own. Stars such as Leonardo and Johnny Depp have bought private islands at high prices, and they regard them as their leisure places to enjoy a peaceful life and get close to nature.
Zhang Jingchu looked at the fantastic beach and sea in front of her, and thought that they would belong to her from now on, and she was extremely excited. However, she remembered that Lanai seemed to be hundreds of kilometers long, which was too large, and she couldn't help asking, "How much does that cost?"
Zhang Ran shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly: "About 5,600 million US dollars, money is not a problem, the important thing is whether you like it or not, if you really like it, then buy it!"
In fact, Zhang Ran didn't want to make the wedding too responsible, in his opinion, it was better to be simpler. However, Zhang Jingchu attaches great importance to the wedding, she feels that marriage means a lifetime, only once in a lifetime, and a grand ceremony must be used to commemorate this moment, she hopes that the wedding will be grand. Since Zhang Jingchu wants a grand wedding, then Zhang Ran has to fulfill her wishes no matter what, if Zhang Jingchu really likes this beach, then he really doesn't mind being extravagant.
When Zhang Jing first heard this, a warm current with a sweet taste melted in her heart, sweet and warm.
In the past few days on Lanai Island, Zhang Jingchu has had a very pleasant time, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, away from all kinds of people, bathed in the warm sunshine, enjoying the blue sky and the sea, it is like being in paradise. If you can buy this island, you can come and enjoy the sun and sea at any time.
However, when she thought that it would cost $560 million to buy Lanai, Zhang Jingchu felt that it was too extravagant, shook her head and said: "This is too expensive, so forget it!"
Zhang Ran pressed Zhang Jingchu's shoulder, stared into her eyes, and said seriously: "I said it all, money doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that you like it." You think, if you like it here, but you don't get married here, you will definitely regret it in the future, and when you think about it, you will say, "Oh, I wish I had done it at that beach." I don't want you to have any regrets, you know?"
Zhang Jing was a little undecided, she really likes it here, but she can spend 500 or 600 million to buy an island, is it necessary?
Zhang Ran saw Zhang Jingchu's reaction and knew that she liked it here, but she thought it was too expensive, so she said: "We won't lose money if we buy this island, Hawaii was originally a tourist resort, after we bought it, part of it will be used as a private area for our own use, for example, this beach can be used as a private beach, and part of it will be used to develop and develop the tourism industry, or to be used as a movie shooting base!" In fact, even if we don't develop it, if we throw this island here, it will not depreciate, and the land has appreciated significantly in recent years, and buying this island is also a profitable investment in the long run!"
Zhang Jingchu's worries were dispelled, and she said with a smile: "Then let's buy it!"
