Chapter 0622 – Receiving (III)
“Bringing more funds?”
Zhuang Rui frowned at the words, it would have been fine if it was just a few days ago, who knew that Thor would suddenly have an extra airplane? After removing the purchase of the airplane and paying for the airport lease, Zhuang Rui didn’t have a few dollars left now.
“Brother Huangfu, why don’t you send the relevant information about this auction to my e-mail first! I’ll screen it.”
After thinking about it for a while, Zhuang Rui still decided to target some items and see what is being auctioned this time first.
After reporting his mailbox to Huangfu Yun, Zhuang Rui hung up the phone and sat on the bed to think.
Now he can use the funds, only about 60 million yuan, converted into euros only more than 6 million, with the price of European and American art, I’m afraid that it is only enough to buy a Picasso or Van Gogh works of one-tenth.
Although the Chinese cultural relics fever, only in recent years, because of the intervention of international speculators, the black hand behind the auction house to promote, the price rise is very large, to Zhuang Rui’s this money, he really did not have the certainty to say that must be able to shoot what objects.
“Hubby, is there not enough money? Or else I’ll let daddy turnover some to you first?”
Qin Xuan Bing pulled open the quilt and sat beside Zhuang Rui, she was aware that after Zhuang Rui purchased this private jet, the money left in his hand wasn’t a lot, of course, for ordinary people, it was still an astronomical sum.
“No need, Xuan Bing, I’m just going to take a look, I won’t necessarily go out and purchase it.”
Zhuang Rui shook his head, that old bitch from over a hundred years ago was not competitive, why should he go and buy it for her? And those international cultural relics speculators, can’t wait for a few more people like Zhuang Rui to participate in the auction, that way, the value of Chinese art will be fired up again.
Compared to the domestic, international prices of cultural relics, to be much higher, are these behind the scenes speculators.
As a result, some of the domestic cultural relics dealers, in order to profiteer, is also trying to smuggle a large number of cultural relics to foreign countries, such as Shaanxi, the Yu boss, is just one of these people, and his criminal gangs, although overthrown, but for the foreign receiver of cultural relics on the home, domestic law enforcement agencies are beyond the reach of the whip.
Want to understand this, Zhuang Rui heart clear, anyway, to go to Europe, as if to go to the international top auction to see it! As for buy or not buy, then look at the situation, if there can be foreigners did not recognize the treasure, Zhuang Rui also do not mind making a move.
“Zhuang Rui, dismantle borrow some money with, and not not return, why are you reluctant ah!”
Seeing that Zhuang Rui rejected his suggestion, Qin Xuan Bing puffed up her small mouth, which made her feel that Zhuang Rui didn’t take the Qin family as his own.
Zhuang Rui saw Qin Xuan Bing’s expression, couldn’t help but smile, stretched out his arm around Qin Xuan Bing, said: “Xuan Bing, you think too much, I just don’t want someone to go to the malicious speculation of the Chinese cultural relics, it’s like a robber robbed your home, but also want you to pay ten or even a hundred times the price of the ransom to come back, will you be happy?”
Qin Xuan Bing for China’s modern history is not very understanding, seem to understand nodded, as long as you know Zhuang Rui is not and their own raw, that’s enough.
A night without words, the next day Zhuang Rui, accompanied by Qin Haoran himself, first went to the hotel to pick up Peng Fei and his party, then drove directly to the Hong Kong airport, where there were people from Thor waiting.
The registration of this airplane is in Hong Kong, all the navigation procedures, have been handled, as long as Zhuang Rui signed, this business is completed, and can immediately drive back to Beijing.
“Wow, Zhuang Rui, that airplane is called …… called Xuan Rui number?!”
After the car drove into the airport, it stopped underneath a small to medium sized airplane, as soon as Qin Xuan Bing got out of the car, she was attracted by the three words on this silver shaped airplane.
“Yes, it’s called the Xuan Rui!”
Zhuang Rui had not told Qin Xuan Bing the name of this airplane, just to give her a surprise, looking at Qin Xuan Bing happily covering her mouth, her eyes were already filled with tears, Zhuang Rui gently wrapped his arm around Qin Xuan Bing’s shoulders.
“Zhuang Rui, thank you.”
Always in front of people show more traditional Qin Xuan Bing, at this moment suddenly raised his head, kissed to Zhuang Rui.
His own woman is not afraid, Zhuang Rui this big old man afraid of what ah! Instantly opened his mouth and kissed, this has not yet arrived in the romantic capital of Paris, the two have already shown a big public under the passionate kiss.
“Cough …… cough ……”
Qin Haoran on the side of the eye, grandmother, this brat has not married his daughter over the door, actually in the face of the old man on the wanton, but Qin Haoran is forgotten, just now but his daughter initiative ah!
“Uh, that what, see what we do ah! What to do what to do.”
Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuan Bing’s passionate kiss was interrupted by the old man, only to realize that their two people into the scenery line.
Not only was a line of crew members staring at themselves, it was a few foreigners from Raytheon next to them who were also looking at the two of them, they were suddenly furious and waved their hands for the crew to start receiving the airplane and checking the various data.
“Oh, dear Zhuang, you are more enthusiastic than us Americans …… uh, that debauchery ……”
Tom made this business and was also in the field this time, in order to show his good relationship with this young Asian tycoon, Tom’s mouth was full of incestuous idioms while he was ready to hug Zhuang Rui.
“Shit, if you can’t say it, don’t say it, go aside ……”
Zhuang Rui pushed Tom to the side without a good mood, looked at the several crew members and shouted, “What are you still standing there for! Go against the information they provided, get on the plane to check ah!”
Seeing Zhuang Rui getting serious, the crowd all held back their laughter, and the staff of Raytheon Company cooperated with Zhuang Rui’s crew members and started working, in fact, all of this had already been carried out a few days ago, and now it was just a routine matter.
Until now, Zhuang Rui had no time to observe this private plane that already belonged to him, holding Qin Xuan Bing’s hand, the two of them circled around the plane.
The fuselage of this silver gray Hawker 400 model, using the latest composite material, the fuselage is lighter, the unique 450 knots high speed cruise as well as the unique swept back wing design, making it faster in its class.
The three Chinese characters on the smooth fuselage were especially conspicuous, many travelers who walked from the side boarding corridor bridge were enviously looking at Zhuang Rui’s private jet, especially some Chinese tourists who started to speculate and conjecture after seeing those three characters clearly.
“Xuan Bing, go up and take a look!”
With the height of this airplane, naturally there was no need for a corridor bridge, there was an automatic rotary ladder at the cabin door, but three or five steps would be enough to enter the interior of the cabin.
Walking into the cabin, the aisle was not as spacious as a normal civilian airliner, but the interior decoration was extremely luxurious.
The entire cabin layout for the standard 8-seater, configured with double club-style leather executive seats, quite spacious, the back of the four seats can be put down so that they are connected together into beds for guests to rest, in the middle of the seat on a small platform, placed a variety of foreign wines.
Zhuang Rui visually measured, the length of the cabin should be in about 7 meters, about two meters wide, height is also in more than one meter eight, must have ordered this aircraft before the people, is also tall.
The reason why Zhuang Rui agreed to buy this airplane was to save time at a cheap price, and secondly, he was interested in the height of the cabin, at the very least, he didn’t need to grovel when he came in.
“Dear Zhuang, this is our American Massachusetts specialty red wine, which the company specially gave to our esteemed client.” Tom, who was following behind Zhuang Rui, introduced those foreign wines like Zhuang Rui.
“Tom, thank you for your company’s kindness, but we bought an airplane, didn’t we?”
Zhuang Rui skimmed his mouth, he had never heard of the American Massachusetts specialty red wine? Who knows if it’s China’s most famous “Erguotou” or something like that? Three dollars and two bottles, dozens of dollars to buy a box.
“Of course, our airplane is also the best, Zhuang, sitting in this kind of airplane for traveling, drinking red wine, this is what an intoxicating thing ah!”
Tom was blocked by Zhuang Rui, but his face didn’t have the slightest bit of impatience, and continued in introducing the airplane to Zhuang Rui.
In the rear of the cabin, there was a luxuriously decorated restroom and washbasin, the bright glass and carpeted floor made it feel less like being on an airplane.
After looking at the rear cabin, Zhuang Rui walked to the cockpit, this Hawker model, is made of two pilot seats, that is to say, it needs both a front and a deputy pilot, at this moment, the pilot He Shuang, who came out from the army, and Ding Hao, who was poached from the civil aviation industry, are being familiarized with the driving console under the guidance of the other pilot.
“Old He, how is it? Is it okay?”
Zhuang Rui looked at the four liquid crystal display screen, and the dense electronic switches, the head can not help but big up, these things are too complex, Zhuang Rui on the two pilots a little less confidence, compared to the previous one is to fly a fighter, and the other is to fly a large aircraft, I do not know if I can handle this one?
“Che, Brother Zhuang, do you know the idiot camera? This kind of operating system, it’s similar to a dummy camera, I can fly it when I come up.”
He Shuang has not yet replied, the side of Peng Fei skimmed his mouth, not to mention, he really can fly this plane, although the previous training received is not as good as Bond 007 and so on, but the simple aircraft driving, he can still fiddle a little.
Of course, it is estimated that if you let Peng Fei to drive, Zhuang Rui absolutely will not be killed on the plane, if the helicopter is more or less.
“Mr. Zhuang, there’s no problem, the operation of this plane is very simple, the manual and automatic navigation systems are very advanced, it’s much better to drive than fighter jets and transport planes.”
He Shuang knew a little bit about Peng Fei’s former identity, and didn’t mind Peng Fei’s words, and joked with Zhuang Rui, he was very satisfied with his current job, his wife and children were now living in a set of houses provided by Zhuang Rui in Beijing, and the schools were all arranged, so he didn’t have much to worry about.
Most importantly, He Shuang knew that the use of private airplanes in the country was not very high, and he had a lot of time to spend with his wife and daughter, to make up for the many years in the army could not take care of the family’s regrets.
“That’s good, that’s good ……”
Professionals have spoken, Zhuang Rui naturally can not show that he can not be trusted, turned around in the cockpit, and then returned to the cabin, the two stewardesses wearing flight attendant clothes, let Zhuang Rui look very pleasing to the eye.
