Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 644 Private Jet

After chatting for a while, Li Weidong realized more and more that he seemed a bit redundant here. Everyone looked at him when he spoke, so cautiously, and when he spoke, everyone also laughed with him, as if they were afraid that he would be unhappy.

In this situation, if Li Weidong refused to leave and still chatted with them, it would mean that he was ignorant, so he found an excuse to leave the banquet and let everyone continue.

When everyone sent him out, Li Weidong could even hear several loud gasps behind him, which showed that he really made them feel depressed here.

Li Weidong sighed in his heart, what kind of world is this? Don't they say that rich people have distant relatives in the mountains? He is rich and lives in a noisy world and has few relatives?

Li Weidong walked along the corridor feeling a little disappointed. The nearby boxes were booked by Li Weibing, and they were all guests who came to have a wedding banquet. From time to time, bursts of laughter and drinks were heard from inside, which was normal and real.

The waiters standing at the door of the box, ready to take orders at any time, bowed their heads and said hello after seeing Li Weidong.

Li Weidong seemed to be seen in the private room next to him, and several people walked out quickly. Ding Yuan was among them. Although they were all relatives at this time, and the probability of Li Weidong being in danger was very low, he still did not dare to let down his guard.

Standing next to Ding Yuan were several bodyguards and a middle-aged man wearing a hotel uniform. Judging from the name tag on his clothes, he was the food and beverage manager of the Four Seasons Hotel.

At this time, the catering department manager was smiling all over his face. He was smiling so energetically that his face was squeezed together. He might have been a little nervous and his voice was trembling, but he still said in a formulaic manner: "Chairman, how can I serve you?

"

Li Weidong shook his head, and the manager smiled and said: "Okay, Chairman, you are busy first. If you have anything to do, please tell me at any time!"

Although the lobby manager did not see whether Li Weidong was in a bad mood, he felt a natural sense of hierarchical oppression facing Li Weidong. He probably would never have the opportunity to report to Li Weidong in his life.

At this time, the door of the room next to him also opened. Li Weidong instinctively turned his head and took a look. His grandfather Li Zongxun was walking out.

"Grandpa, why did you come out? There is a toilet inside!" Li Weidong walked by and wanted to help him. He thought he was going to the toilet.

His grandfather basically had no tasks on this occasion today. If Wu Wei's grandfather was here, he would have a drinking rival.

But now in the whole field, he is older and has a higher status, so he is naturally a little aloof. In this regard, he is somewhat similar to Li Weidong. Li Weidong has too high a status and no one talks to him on an equal footing.

Li Zongxun blocked Li Weidong's hand and said, "Don't go to the toilet. It's too noisy in there. I'll come out and get some fresh air!"

As he spoke, he took out a box of Chinese medicine from his pocket, took out one stick, and then motioned to Li Weidong to take one too.

Li Weidong took the cigarette case, took out one, put it directly into his pocket, and said with a smile: "Give it to me, I just ran out of cigarettes!"

The old man watched Li Weidong put the cigarette case in his pocket and said with a smile on his face: "You are so young, you should smoke less!"

"Well, I smoke less now. You see, I don't pack cigarettes anymore, so how much more can I still smoke!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

He didn't persuade his grandfather to quit smoking. He was almost 80 years old. After 60 years of smoking, cigarettes had become a part of his body. How could he just quit smoking? It would save him two cigarettes.

It would be nice to order something light.

"It's better not to smoke!" Li Zongxun said and lit one for himself. It was obvious that he didn't mean what he said. Most smokers have a history of quitting smoking, so they never advise others to quit smoking.

Li Weidong and Li Zongxun went to the box next to them. There were still a few leftover plates on the table. It was estimated that several of Ding Yuan's bodyguards had just been dining.

The two of them sat at the table, and soon the catering manager just brought over two glasses of water and an ashtray.

The grandfather and grandson were sitting at the table chatting. These two people were a little out of place in the crowd, but they had a great time chatting here.

"My father said that he wants you to stay in Qizhou, why do you and my grandma still want to go back?" Li Weidong asked.

"How can we feel at home in this noisy place? In the first half of the year, you asked Wei Min to take us to the county to live for a while. Your grandma almost fell ill. Good guy, when we went back, we lost a lot of weight.

Jin!" Li Zongxun said, shaking his head.

Li Weidong smiled awkwardly. This was because he had not thought carefully. In May and June, Li Weidong announced the affairs of Ruibos Holdings.

At that time, I was afraid that my family would be harassed by reporters, so I asked my parents to go on a trip. When my grandparents got older, I asked Li Weimin to pick them up. I didn't expect that this would happen.

Li Weidong's grandma is not tall and thin. As she gets older, her weight will basically not change. Now she has suddenly lost several kilograms, but it is not like she is sick!

Li Weidong said with a smile: "He is upstairs. The space is small and there is no place to move around. Look at my place. There is a home, a courtyard, and a river next to it. You and I will definitely not hold back!"

Li Zongxun shook his head and said: "Forget it, your grandma tossed and turned all night long and didn't even hear the rooster crow!"

"It's easy. I'll buy you some big roosters soon!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

Li Zongxun still shook his head with a smile and said: "Your father told me this morning that the roosters in the city can no longer crow, so don't worry about it. You and I are not going anywhere, and we don't have many years to live."

Damn it, it’s nice to be at home!”

"You and I are both in good health. We will definitely live a long life. When the time comes when this little guard guy gets married and has children, you will be living together for five generations!"

Seeing that his grandfather insisted, Li Weidong stopped talking about it.

If an old man who is almost eighty years old is asked to move away from his familiar environment, it is not good for him, it is life-threatening!

Li Weidong has seen this kind of thing a lot. As he got older, he was picked up by his son and changed to a strange environment. It was difficult to adapt. The wider the life gap, the harder it was to adapt.

Even if they live in the city, once they leave the original small group and have no one to talk to, they will feel uncomfortable all over. Some people may not have adapted yet, and they will never have to adapt again.

If Li Chengwen and his wife hadn't followed him out at a young age and had their own things to do and their own circle of friends, they would have probably gone back to their hometown long ago.

Li Zongxun smiled and said: "The relationship is good, but it's still early. I'll be satisfied if I can see Li Tai and Li Qian get married and have children!"

The old man has never raised Hai Yan at all. In the eyes of the old man, his great-grandson is still far far away. Even if he gets married, he cannot be considered his fifth generation living together.

"I'm sure everyone can see it. Then you will have to give the new wife some money as a kowtow gift!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

Li Zongxun smiled even happier and said: "Give it, you must give it, your mother is rich, she has saved all the money you gave her, and she won't even let me touch it!"

Li Weidong smiled after hearing this, and then asked curiously: "How much milk have I saved, why didn't you secretly take some?"

Li Zongxun said nonchalantly: "What are you doing with that thing? I don't lack the money!"

After saying this, he knew that Li Weidong was tricking him. Then the two looked at each other and laughed. Li Weidong didn't expect that his grandfather would leave some private money.

The weather began to get cooler at the end of September, and even the autumn tiger could only wreak havoc within two hours at noon. The environment in Li Weidong's office made the coolness even more comfortable.

Even at noon, you only need to open the windows in the office, and the wind cooled by the shade of the trees outside blows in, making the room very comfortable.

Li Weidong didn't have any special arrangements for this day. He just sat behind his desk, looking at the computer, clicking the mouse on his hand. Then he picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, humming a little tune in his mouth, which was very comfortable.

Chen Jun hurriedly knocked on the door from outside and came in. When he saw Li Weidong looking over, he immediately took a few deep breaths to calm down.

Although the boss won't care about this, being flustered in front of the boss will naturally show that one has poor concentration, and will inevitably leave the impression that one is impetuous and cannot be used effectively.

Li Weidong really didn't care about Chen Jun's image and continued to turn back to his computer screen.

Chen Jun walked calmly to Li Weidong, suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Chairman, the news just came that the registration procedure for the plane you ordered has been completed!"

"Hong Kong Island is applying for routes from the domestic aviation department. According to the normal time, the process will be completed in no more than two weeks. By then, you will be able to see the plane at Qizhou Airport!"

When Li Weidong heard Chen Jun's words, he felt a little excited. With a slight slip of his hand, the mouse clicked in the wrong position, and it happened to click on a mine. What was originally a very stable move was over.

But Li Weidong no longer cares about these trivial matters. This is his private jet. It is definitely the first in the country in terms of price and size. He should be proud of it.

Chen Jun thought of something again, and quickly took out the documents in his hand and put them on Li Weidong's desk, and said: "This is the fax just sent from Hong Kong Island, and there are also some photos. I have already printed them out!"

Li Weidong happily picked up the photo on the table and looked at it. Although it was printed in color, the pixels were not very high, and he could only barely look at the appearance. As for the specific details, he couldn't see it at all.

However, this did not affect Li Weidong's brainstorming based on his memory. Anyway, he nodded with satisfaction at this time, and the smile on his face never stopped.

He felt that he should tell Liu Jinhui the news. He bought it as a gift for his wife, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Now that he had said it, he was not as surprised as when he saw the real thing.

Li Weidong put down the photo and picked up the fax on the table to read it. There was a lot of content on it, but Li Weidong understood the meaning of the fax.

There are very few private jets in the country now, especially long-distance business jets. Most of them are short-distance helicopters that don’t fly at high altitudes, don’t cover long distances, and don’t cover much airspace.

Domestic aviation management departments rarely encounter this kind of thing, and the airspace is relatively sensitive. It is estimated that they rarely consider whether it is convenient for the people.

The application procedures and time for many temporary routes are similar to those for fixed routes of ordinary civil aviation companies, and can often be calculated in weeks.

Moreover, applying for domestic routes is already very complicated, let alone such a cross-regional route, which is even more complicated.

Maybe in ten years' time, when there are more private jets in the country and the non-wartime jurisdiction of many airspaces is transferred to the Civil Aviation Administration, this situation will change.

But in his previous life, Li Weidong was just a poor fellow with a little money. How could he have the opportunity to come into contact with such wealthy people? Naturally, he knew nothing about these things.

Although he didn't know that the temporary route application would change in the future, at this time Li Weidong felt that he still didn't want to wait another two weeks to see his plane.

Of course, he can also book a flight to Hong Kong Island now and see him in a few hours.

But he didn't think so. An ordinary person who bought a high-end car was not willing to take the bus, even if driving would be very congested.

This is what Li Weidong was thinking at this time. He already has his own plane, so why would he still take a civil aviation plane?

Moreover, the person who sent this fax seemed to have guessed what Li Weidong meant, otherwise he would not have written the acceptance number of the applied route in the fax.

Li Weidong hesitated for a moment, but he was still a little more curious, so he pulled out a phone number from his mobile phone.

After calling, the call was quickly connected, and Li Weidong said politely: "Hello, Director Liu!"

Li Weidong has known this director for a long time. When he was at the Ministry of Electronic Industry, Li Weidong had dealt with him and had dinner with him several times.

Later, after he was transferred to the Aviation Administration, his business relationship with Li Weidong was less. However, he would chat a few words when they met in meetings. Now, when asking others to do things, Li Weidong must still be polite and enthusiastic.

But I didn't expect that Li Weidong had just mentioned this matter, and the other party didn't pretend to be confused, so he said directly: "I just heard about this matter, and I am quite puzzled. Which rich man came to our place!"

Private business jets have also come to China in recent years. For example, at the Global Wealth Forum held in Shanghai last year, many wealthy people came on their own private jets.

In addition, there were sporadic applications for routes from overseas aircraft. Except for the applications transferred from the foreign affairs department, they were all from wealthy people.

"So, I have to ask you to take more trouble!" Li Weidong said politely.

Director Liu smiled and said: "Why bother? There is no reason to let foreigners go through the normal approval process and let our own people wait. Besides, it is our first private jet in the country!"

"Hey, what's the first fight? I can't even be ranked in the top ten. I'm just trying to be fresh and save face to make you laugh!" Li Weidong said humbly.

"You see you are still humble. Just wait and see. It won't be long before she lands at our domestic airport!"

"Then thank you so much Director Liu. I will thank you in person when I go to the capital one day!" Li Weidong said enthusiastically.

"You're welcome. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If your company hadn't taken a stake, I don't know when the two airports in the west would have been completed!"

"Yes, yes, we should support national construction!" Li Weidong said a few more polite words.
