I am farming in the real world

#191 - I am the circle

Cangqian Old Street, this was a once-thriving commercial district in the 1980s.

Benefiting from the era's dividends, every household along the street was engaged in small businesses.

Cangqian Old Street declined in the 1990s, and Hongqiao South Road, not far from here, began to rise.

This prosperity lasted for nearly 30 years until large shopping malls like Joy City and Wanda Plaza settled in Ruixian before and after the pandemic, which led to the gradual elimination of these traditional commercial districts.

Deep in the old street, several luxury cars with eye-catching license plates like 666 and 888 abruptly drove into an old community filled with the atmosphere of the times.

Leading the pack was Zheng Bocheng's flamboyant white Mercedes-Benz G-Class, followed by a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Bentley Bentayga, a Porsche Cayenne, an Aston Martin DBX, and other luxury car models.

In this narrow Cangqian Old Street, where only two cars can pass side by side, the appearance of these luxury cars was very conspicuous.

After all, parked along the way were old cars with residual values of only a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, and the convoy attracted the attention of many old men and women sitting in the doorways sunbathing.

"Is someone's daughter getting married?"

"I haven't heard anything about it!"

"Tsk tsk ~ All are luxury cars worth millions, so rich."

The convoy slowly parked next to an old shop called 'Zhu's Glutinous Rice Cake' in Cangqian Old Street, and a group of young people got out of the cars, chattering and laughing, and gathered around the large iron pot that was sizzling with oil.

The pot was frying 'Glutinous Rice Cake', a traditional Wenshi snack, which is made by shaping cooked glutinous rice into blocks, sandwiching dried tofu and shredded meat in the middle, and frying them in a pan with lard until both sides are golden brown. Before serving, a little dried shrimp and chopped green onions are sprinkled on top, and the tempting aroma can waft through the entire street.

Compared to glutinous rice, which is the favorite food of Wenshi people, this glutinous rice cake has a richer flavor.

"Brother Zheng, this glutinous rice cake tastes really good!"

"Delicious!"

"Didn't come to the wrong place."

Several second-generation rich kids who had ordered Magic Cube yachts took the glutinous rice cakes fried by the old lady and gathered around the convoy, chatting as they ate.

"The taste is not bad, right? Chen Jue and I used to come here often when we were in high school." Zheng Bocheng smiled happily.

As the initiator of this gathering, Zheng Bocheng was busy helping everyone pay the bill.

After all, these free-spending second-generation rich kids had contributed nearly 50 million in commissions to him, and treating each of them to a glutinous rice cake and a Yiming fresh milk only cost a few cents.

"Brother Zheng, is Brother Chen Jue sure he's coming?"

"He's such a busy boss, I saw the signing ceremony on Wenshi News last night."

"He signed more than 7 billion in a single deal, and I guess only Wang Han's parents' generation in our circle can compare to that."

"That's right! My family's assets are only a few billion at best, the level is different, it's too far apart!" A group of second-generation rich kids discussed.

As they were chatting, a domestic Hongqi business car HQ9 slowly drove over from the corner of the old street.

The door opened, and Chen Jue, dressed in casual sportswear, got out of the back seat.

"Everyone's here!"

"Bocheng is treating today, don't be polite."

Chen Jue greeted everyone with a hippie smile, took a glutinous rice cake from his buddy, and started eating it.

He had previously joined the customer group for those who ordered Magic Cube yachts, and occasionally chatted and bragged in the group.

He knew that these Wenshi rich second generations were eager to curry favor with him, hoping to get on the fast track of the Magic Cube Group to achieve some kind of business cooperation.

If it were anyone else, Chen Jue probably wouldn't even bother, but considering his buddy Zheng Bocheng and those large yacht orders, he showed his face slightly.

After all, his career has now taken shape, and his total assets have reached the tens of billions level.

Not to mention in Wenshi, even in the whole country, he is one of the top entrepreneurs of his age.

There is no need to lower his status to try to get into any circle, because he himself is the circle!

The reason why he wanted to come to this breakfast was also because he had been dealing with those leaders and older generation Wenshi businessmen too cautiously recently.

At the age of only 29, he needs to have more contact with young people to help him expand his social network.

Seeing that Chen Jue seemed easy to talk to and had no airs at all, everyone was very enthusiastic.

The younger ones called him 'Brother Jue', and those of about the same age called him by his name.

Of course, this group of second generations also has a clear core circle.

In addition to Zheng Bocheng, who initiated the gathering and was surrounded by a group of people, another bespectacled, refined young man was also surrounded by many people.

"Hello, Chen Jue, my name is Wang Han!" The bespectacled man stretched out his hand to Chen Jue politely.

As soon as Chen Jue heard this, he immediately perked up: "Wang Han? The successor of Junyao Group? You are a few years older than me, I should call you Brother Han."

The two exchanged greetings for a while, which made the surrounding small rich second generations look sideways.

After all, among this group of people, only Wang Han, who has already started to take over the family business, can talk to Chen Jue. The remaining small fries are still receiving monthly pocket money from their parents, and their ranks are not at the same level.

Even if they order Magic Cube yachts from Zheng Bocheng, they mostly order the entry-level model of 20 million yuan stingily.

It is rare for someone like Wang Han to take out 100 million yuan to buy domestic yachts at once.

Based on this trust and support, Chen Jue should give the other party some face.

"By the way, Chen Jue, I heard Bocheng say you want to buy a private jet? My family has some connections in the civil aviation field, do you want me to introduce you to the regional manager of Gulfstream Aerospace?" Wang Han asked with a smile.

His father, as a domestic 'daring' pioneer, the first person in the country to win a civil aviation route, is understating it when he says he 'has some connections' in the aircraft field.

After all, the current Juneyao Airlines is considered a first-tier player among domestic civil aviation enterprises, with annual revenue exceeding 20 billion yuan, and the number of aircraft under its umbrella is as high as 100, and the types of aircraft cover Boeing 787 and Airbus A320 series, and the routes opened cover most of the earth.

And Wang Han himself is one of the best among the rich second generations who play with airplanes!

As soon as he graduated, he led a team in Shanghai to independently develop the Airbus A320-Neo full-motion flight simulator, and successfully passed the D-level simulator certification of the European Aviation Safety Agency, which is definitely a super player in the field of civil passenger aircraft.

Asking such a person about private jet issues, Chen Jue felt that he had found the right person.

However, because Chen Jue used the MC system to modify the Magic Cube yacht, Jingwei engineering ship, and Yugong infrastructure vehicle, he also had his own ideas and visions for large aircraft.

So, after discussing the issue of private jets with Wang Han in depth, Chen Jue rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Han, your Juneyao Airlines should have Airbus or Boeing series aircraft that are about to be retired, right? The Gulfstream G series business jets are too small, I plan to buy a second-hand passenger plane and modify it myself!"

As soon as these words came out, all the second-generation young masters, including Wang Han, were almost choked by the glutinous rice cakes in their hands!

You must know that in the field of private jets, Gulfstream Aerospace's G550 and G650 are definitely the most mainstream models at present.

Including the past richest man of Wanda, Tencent and Alibaba's Jack Ma, etc., all the rich people on the Forbes rich list are customers of Gulfstream Aerospace business jets.

Whether buying or leasing, owning a Gulfstream G series in China is a sign of full prestige.

However, when it comes to luxury, Gulfstream G systems, these small and medium-sized aircraft, are far less luxurious than the large aircraft produced by Boeing and Airbus.

For example, the famous US presidential car 'Air Force One' is a VC-25A model modified from two Boeing 747s.

And those oil tycoons in the Middle East who 'wear a cloth on their heads and are the richest in the world' prefer Airbus A380.

In short, the larger the plane, the more things can be installed inside, and naturally, the enjoyment is several levels stronger than the Gulfstream G system, which has a cabin area of less than 50 square meters.

When Wang Han learned that Chen Jue was planning to get a second-hand passenger plane to play with, his mind was also a little shaken.

But then he thought that the other party's current net worth and strength have indeed jumped out of the level of ordinary rich second generations, so he pondered for a moment and said: "Our family does have two Airbus A320s that have been in service for 12 years that are about to be retired. They were originally planned to be sold to Shunfeng for cargo transportation business, but the price is not cheap!"

Chen Jue asked curiously: "How much does one cost?"

A bunch of second-generation rich kids were also listening with their ears perked up.

They were eating a 3-yuan glutinous rice cake, but they were talking about such a big business of buying a plane.

If a group of people didn't have luxury cars parked around them to support the scene, the passing old men and women would probably think that these young people were full and doing nothing, basking in the sun and daydreaming!

Seeing Chen Jue's determined look, Wang Han immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his family on WeChat, and soon received a reply: "The price of a single aircraft is 36 million US dollars, the condition of the aircraft is not bad, and it can still be stably in service for at least 10 years after buying it back."

When Chen Jue heard that it was so cheap, which was just more than a week's income from mining Bitcoin, he immediately gestured with two fingers in a Versailles-like manner: "I want both!"
