In mid-2007, in the title program of the tunnel duo, a so-called "pit people buy things" series that had started around 2000 was once again broadcast by Zhou Xiaoti.

Because this project was made many years in advance, so in the past seven years, many people have been on this show, buying watches, buying cars is the most common project of this show, and occasionally there will be actors because of the promotion of a new drama on this project, if it is such a publicity plan, usually the whole crew will be invited to eat very luxurious food and the like, for several years, this show has also been evaluated as the most tricky and most money-worshipping project in Japan.

However, although the reviews may not be too good, the ratings of this project have always been very good, for no other reason, ordinary people have a very normal feeling for the voyeurism of celebrities, and the hatred of the rich in the Japanese is not very strong, many artists in Japan, ordinary people will not feel that their money is blown by the wind, they can't spend money.

It can be said that in such a show, in addition to idols, which have the strictest requirements for personal image, other professions such as singers, actors, and funny artists have no problem to act.

However, this issue of "Pit Man Buying" in mid-2007 is not the same as before, in the past, the pit man bought things, and the two people of the tunnel duo forcibly dragged others to buy hundreds of thousands of millions of things, but this time, it was replaced by someone else to entertain them.

This person is Zhou Xiao.

The beginning of the show is still in the TV lounge, but this time it is the two of the tunnel duo waiting for Zhou Xiao's arrival in the lounge.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door outside the break room.

"It's coming!" The spirits of the tunnel duo were all lifted, they had long known that Zhou Xiao would come to them, otherwise the two would not stay in the same lounge, with the level of the two, there is definitely one person in the TV station.

"Please come in!" Kenwu Konashi shouted.

The door opened with a "click", and Zhou Xiao walked in from the outside.

"Oh!! It's really President Zhou Xiao! President! Ishibashi Guiming was still very frivolous, and when he came up, he exaggerated President Zhou Xiao, with his status. There is basically no one in the entertainment industry who will be treated with respect by him, but Zhou Xiao's current identity is relatively special, he is an artist and a company operator, and the two of the tunnel duo are their own entertainment companies, it stands to reason that the two are also the same identity, but the tunnel duo is basically a single company, and Zhou Xiao is a big thing office, and even a company that includes IT things is incomparable, so Shiqiao Guiming will exaggerate and call President Zhou Xiao.

"Don't call me that." Zhou Xiao was full of panic.

"What can't be called, how much money you make has spread all over Japan, and if you can't be called president. I can only call President Masayoshi Son. Takaaki Ishibashi said.

The difference between AZX and other billion-dollar super performing arts companies is that other performing arts companies basically have a director system with multiple shareholders, but AZX is almost a wholly-owned company owned by Zhou Xiao, even if this company even distributes very few shares to internal employees, there are not many shares in performing arts and entertainment companies, and even less in IT.

"But we're filming a TV show, let's follow the name of the entertainment industry on the show." Zhou Xiao said.

"That'...... But it depends on what you're here to do today. Takaaki Ishibashi said.

"Uh...... Hey. Zhou Xiao said a little shyly: "I wanted to buy something, so I came to find the two." ”

"And those who came to be cheated by us?" Kentake Konashi asked.

"Anyway, I'll know sooner or later, so it's better to just tell everyone directly." Zhou Xiao said.

"Oh? What do you want to buy? Takaaki Ishibashi asked.

"Well...... I'll find out if I take you there. That...... Two seniors, let's go, shall we? Zhou Xiao took a stack of things from the agents of the two behind him and handed them to them and said.

"It's ...... Passport? After the two took Zhou Xiao's things, they found that the agent had brought the passports of the two of them.

"Do I still need to go abroad to buy something? What can't you buy in Japan? Kenwu Kinashi asked strangely, Japan is also a developed country. Is there anything you can't buy in Japan?

"If you go, you'll know, if you go, you'll know." Zhou Xiao didn't say what to buy, but said vigorously that he would know.

Then there is the footage of several people getting on the plane, getting off the plane, and then getting in the car.

After the camera stops. What appeared on TV was the mouth of Takaaki Ishibashi and Kentake Konashi.

"Zhou ...... Zhou Xiao, this is what you want to buy? Kentake Kinashi asked.

"yes. It's usually inconvenient to go out or go out to play, so I made up my mind to buy it. Zhou Xiao said.

"Are we going to do the last episode of this show?" Takaaki Ishibashi asked.

"Why do you say that?" Konashi Ken said stupidly.

"After buying this, what else can surpass the price in the future!" Takaaki Ishibashi said.

What exactly does Zhou Xiao want to buy? The next turn gives the audience an answer.

The three of them stood in front of a huge glass building, and in front of the three of them was a large square, and there were more than a dozen ...... parked in the square Plane!

The place where Zhou Xiao took the crew to was Gulfstream Aerospace in Georgia, USA, and what he wanted to buy turned out to be ...... Private Jets!

No wonder Ishibashi Takaaki said that in the future, no one may be able to buy more than Zhou Xiao this time.

What is the process of buying an airplane? In fact, before today, Zhou Xiao and AZX had full communication with Gulfstream about the purchase of aircraft, and today Zhou Xiao came here, basically just officially signed the contract, which is also the reason why the two of them are unprecedented, and it is impossible to really pull Zhou Xiao to buy a plane without notice at all.

followed by a series of moves similar to showing off wealth, and Gulfstream sent a staff member who understood Japanese to take Zhou Xiao and the tunnel duo to visit the plane.

Gulfstream is a world-famous private jet manufacturer, their aircraft can be said to be extremely luxurious, and Zhou Xiao took the two to watch the plane in addition to luxury is also unparalleled taste, this kind of aircraft is specially decorated for more literate buyers, if it is other more "superficial" local tyrants, there will be another ultra-luxury aircraft full of various gold and silver interiors for users to see.

The two of them were amazed by the luxuriously decorated interior of the plane, and the three of them even had lunch on the plane. After eating, a middle-aged man came out to greet the three of them.

"Who is this......?" Takaaki Ishibashi asked.

"The contemptible man is the chef of this plane, please take care of me." Said the middle-aged Japanese chef.

"Fly...... The plane also has a chef!? Did you come with the plane when you bought it? The tunnel duo almost squirted.

"No, everyone's tastes are different, and I hired this chef in Japan." Zhou Xiao said.

"Good...... All right. "After the previous events, the two of them have a lot more bearability.

After shopping for so long and having a meal, the three of them finally talked about the most important issues after the meal.

"That'...... Zhou Xiao, what is the price of this aircraft you fancie? Kentake Kinashi asked.

Zhou Xiao didn't speak, but turned his gaze to the staff of Gulfstream.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao has a fancy for this plane. The total price, including all ancillary equipment, is $37,498,000. "The staff did not hesitate to quote the price.

"Three thousand seven hundred...... That is, the price of this aircraft is ......"

"About 4 billion yen......!"

"Shhh The two were completely stunned.

In fact, it stands to reason that with the $1 billion that Zhou Xiao just sold, it seems a bit exaggerated to raise such a private jet, not to mention the $30 or 40 million for a Gulfstream plane, just for the daily maintenance of the plane, it will take more than $1 million a year, that is, more than 100 million yen, and there are many rich people who can afford to raise it.

The reason why Zhou Xiao has the confidence to buy a plane is that the plane is really used. Japan is very developed, and there will be many rich people in developed countries, and these rich people may not be able to reach the level of Zhou Xiao and cannot afford to buy a plane. It is normal to rent an aircraft a few times occasionally, and when Zhou Xiao does not use the aircraft in ordinary times, the income from the lease is not enough to afford the annual maintenance cost of the aircraft.

In addition, another reason why Zhou Xiao has confidence is that his current wealth is far more than it seems on the surface, his real investment. It is the shares of companies such as Facebook, which will eventually turn into billions of dollars in assets, which will become Zhou Xiao's biggest confidence. With these things, he didn't worry about running out of money in the future.

In the end, at the end of the show, witnessed by the tunnel duo, Zhou Xiao signed a contract with Gulfstream, which is considered to have completed the last step of purchasing the aircraft, and of course Zhou Xiao's own private jet cannot be delivered immediately, which is also a very depressed thing for the tunnel duo, at least on the surface, so the three agreed that after Zhou Xiao's plane arrived, he must ask the two to travel with their wives.

Zhou Xiao nodded as a matter of course, the plane was bought back to be used, but Zhou Xiao invited them to get on the plane that was Zhou Xiao's treat, if you still want to use it in addition to this, I'm sorry, then you need to pay some usage fees, people who can use Zhou Xiao's private jet for free are not absent in the whole of Japan, but even if there is, I'm afraid it won't be more than ten, others? Even if the prime minister comes, he will have to pay for it.

Of course, if it is the first and second in command in China or something, Zhou Xiao will never ask for money, he is not stupid, the first and second in command in China, the benefits you can get if you want money are obviously much less than if you don't want money.

Zhou Xiao's participation in this episode of the show caused an uproar again in Japan, the price of four billion private jets is too exaggerated, compared with Zhou Xiao's show, the so-called pit people buy things in the past, millions of watches and millions of luxury cars are like things like family wine.

Japanese netizens on the Internet began to question Zhou Xiao's extreme behavior of showing off his wealth is simply stupid, but just like Zhou Xiao estimated, there are not many such voices, most people feel that every penny of Zhou Xiao's money is taken for granted, and what Zhou Xiao has done, no one in the world can do it, in this way, what is wrong with him making so much money and spending money? If Zhou Xiao just sings and dances and then buys a private jet, then maybe people's belly slander is more reasonable, the key is that Zhou Xiao's real confidence to buy an airplane is in the IT industry, this industry is already a very profitable industry, if Zhou Xiao is not qualified to buy, those IT industry bosses, and even foreign Bill Gates and the like are not qualified to buy?

Mean people are only in the minority. More people's feelings for Zhou Xiao are envy and admiration, in their opinion, this is a perfect man, and he has no right to criticize him, and what is more convincing is that Zhou Xiao is usually not a person who spends money when he has money and shows off his wealth everywhere, in the past few years of his debut, even if he doesn't have the billion dollars, he has earned a lot. This can be seen from his annual tax payment, Zhou Xiao's tax payment is very complicated, the tax payment of being an artist and a film actor seems to be the tax payment of his main job, but this tax payment does not occupy the mainstream in Zhou Xiao's income every year, because this tax payment is only the tax of his entertainment work, including the rising tide, and now there is a 1 million "Flash Trip" title program starring fee, 1 million per issue. If there are 50 episodes of the suspension of broadcasting in a year, Zhou Xiao will be able to earn 50 million yuan for this one program alone, and then there is the price of the director who makes movies and TV series. Although the movie Zhou Xiao shoots all the things invested by his own company, the director's income must also be calculated separately and included in the film investment, as for the director fee of the TV series, it is not too much, because the majority of it has to be given to the screenwriter. Yes, that's right, screenwriter this...... Generally, Zhou Xiao does it himself.

Just these things, Zhou Xiao can earn at least 100 million yen a year. His corresponding tax payment amount will not be less.

In addition to these, in terms of music, although Zhou Xiao doesn't sing much now, he can still bring him a lot of income every year, Zhou Xiao has produced too many good songs in the past few years, and all kinds of songs have been loved by fans of almost all ages, and there is even a saying in the Japanese entertainment industry in recent years, another name for the so-called karaoke list is "Zhou Xiao list", because the common composition of the karaoke list in recent years is one or two popular songs of the season, plus one or two anime songs, plus one or two lovelorn songs that describe a woman's state of mind, and then the rest are basically Zhou Xiao's songs, such a huge amount of karaoke use of songs has brought Zhou Xiao a huge income that is almost equal to his annual income in the entertainment industry, and this income is still available for several years instead of just one year, the songwriter's influence in Japan can be seen.

In short, all kinds of miscellaneous incomes are added together, Zhou Xiao's average annual income in the entertainment industry is about 300 million yen, yes, that's right, don't look at him only has a fixed program, but in Japan, as long as you can make something popular enough, even if you don't work much, the money you make is very, very much.

With an annual income of 300 million yen, it can already have a very good position on the Japanese artist income list that year, but almost every year when the ranking is ranked to Zhou Xiao, there will be such a paragraph as a note: "Zhou Xiao's income only calculates his income as an artist, and AZX company can almost be regarded as completely belonging to him, but the income of this company that year is not included in Zhou Xiao's income."

The meaning is very simple, we only calculate Zhou Xiao's personal income, he also has a company that can make a lot of money every year, this money seems to be the company, but in fact it is Zhou Xiao's own, if this money is counted on Zhou Xiao, then no matter who is in front of or behind on this list, it is impossible to compare with it.

Zhou Xiao's plane arrived a month after the contract was signed, and the waiting time was not long, because the plane had been built a long time ago, and the two sides had been in contact for a long time.

When this private jet named AKB48 and painted with the huge AKB48 logo on the fuselage landed at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, it attracted a lot of multimedia and ordinary people's attention, which is exactly what Zhou Xiao wanted.

Thereupon...... Almost all of Japan, even including many Europeans and Americans, saw the AKB48 private jet in the airport together, and Zhou Xiao swiped the AKB48 once.

The AKB girls are in a complicated mood, on the one hand, this is another great help made by their boss for the team, and on the other hand, the boss is so rich, the girls also seem to have a false sense of pride, but on the other hand, although the plane is printed with a huge team logo, more than one girl in AKB can't help but think: "We're afraid ...... I will never be able to ride on this plane with my team's name on it for the rest of my life...... I really envy Zhou Xiao's brother's woman...... If I can travel on this plane once, if the other party is still Brother Zhou Xiao, I am willing to pay anything......"

If you want to say that there will be no one unhappy about turning the private jet into AKB, of course there will be, Zhou Xiao's women will definitely have a lot of unhappiness when they see Zhou Xiao naming the private jet as the name of their idol group, but Zhou Xiao is not without any indication to the three of them, on the contrary, after having enough money, Zhou Xiao's generosity is very different from his personal image of not caring much about spending money before, and each of the three women got the most suitable for them, and at the same time, it was also a valuable gift.
