Chapter 264 Big Baby and Two Major Events of This Year

Beautiful country, inside a hangar
"Xixi, let's go!" Zhang Chen hurriedly pulled Liu Yifei to a place not far away, "Brother will take you to see a big treasure!"

It’s because Xiao Liu still can’t understand such harsh words.

Otherwise, Zhang Chen would probably get kicked again.

When Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei went deeper into the hangar, someone slowly pulled down the black and gray curtain on the giant object, revealing something Zhang Chen had been dreaming about for a long time - the Gulfstream G550.
Big Toys

This is Zhang Chen’s definition of the plane in front of him.

In front of him, the Gulfstream G550 was parked quietly in the giant hangar, making it look a little petite.

But judging by the group of uniformed workers inspecting and accepting the aircraft surrounding the aircraft, its body appears particularly large.

It is 7.9 meters high, has a wingspan of 28.5 meters and is 29.4 meters long.

Compared with large civilian airliners, these data are very small.

But for business jets, it is currently the largest in the world.

At the same time, its range of 11686 kilometers is the longest among business jets, and even among passenger planes, its range can be ranked among the best.

Of course, it is not just these hard numbers that make it a favorite of the wealthy in the future.

Beneath its low-key but not shabby appearance, there is the most luxurious decoration in the sky.

When Zhang Chen walked into the cabin, he clearly felt the efforts made to improve the comfort of the aircraft.

The cabin height of 1.88 meters makes Zhang Chen feel a little depressed when standing in it, but generally speaking, passengers will sit in those luxurious seats, and all matters will be helped by dedicated service staff.

So although the cabin altitude is a bit depressing, it is sufficient for a business jet.

Another thing is the customizable service.

At the end of the cabin of Zhang Chen's GG50 is a bedroom, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, an entertainment lounge and a dining area.

It also has a conference room that can accommodate ten people and extremely fast Internet access speed, which can meet the meeting needs in unexpected situations.

Despite this pleasant configuration, it also has a price that is daunting for many of the world's wealthy people - $4500 million.

This is just the price of the aircraft. If the maintenance, upkeep, and wages of the maintenance crew are all added to the price of the aircraft, the price will increase several times.

"Brother, is this the big baby you mentioned?"

Liu Yifei walked around the cabin curiously, touching here and there, appearing very curious.

For her, it was hard to understand Zhang Chen's feelings.

In her opinion, an airplane is just a means of transportation. It is enough to just take an airline flight. Why bother buying one yourself?

"Of course!" It was rare for Zhang Chen to be so interested in something.

Others play with and collect cars, but for Zhang Chen, all the cars in his garage are driven by his driver. He himself dares not drive because he is afraid of death, so his love for cars is suppressed to the lowest level.

Although he might have some paranoid complex, Zhang Chen knew that some important figures in the country occasionally died in accidents, so he was always very vigilant about his driving safety.

And as his wealth grew and his strength gradually emerged, he became more and more worried about his own safety.

It was for this reason that he booked a private jet.

Although if there is really a force that wants to kill you without regard for its dignity, both civil aircraft and private planes are equally vulnerable.

But at least private jets can minimize the threat of being hijacked.

At the same time, the G550's cruising altitude and cruising speed, which are higher than those of ordinary civil aircraft, can also avoid some potential threats.

It is precisely because of considerations such as safety, privacy, and freedom that Zhang Chen has such a strong interest in owning his own private jet.

Zhang Chen seemed to be gently stroking the brown leather seat, squinting his eyes and enjoying the comfort that the seat brought him.

"Hey - your expression is so obscene~"

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen's expression when he was trying out the seat, and a look of disgust appeared on her face. One of her little hands kept waving in front of her nose, as if she was trying to drive away something bad.

"What do you know, little brat? This is a man's romance."

Zhang Chen rolled his eyes. Although he had not yet reached the point of thinking that "a car is a man's second wife", the G550 did indeed touch upon his strong desire to consume.

At this moment, he had a desire to fly this plane to every corner of the world by himself.

But thinking that he didn't have this skill, he could only smack his lips regretfully: "What a pity."

"what?"

"The second one won't be delivered for another few months."

"Ah???" Liu Yifei opened her mouth unconsciously, "Nearly 5000 million US dollars, you actually bought two?"

"Brother, I'm not short of money."

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen's arrogant expression and was so angry that her teeth itched: "Yes, yes, you are rich, but you are alone, why did you buy two planes? Are you showing off your wealth?"

"It's my own money. I can spend it however I want. It's none of your business." Zhang Chen rolled his eyes at Liu Yifei who was also lying on the sofa.

He naturally had his own plans. Every time he traveled, he would have two planes take off at the same time, and he would decide which plane he would take on the spot only before arriving at the two planes, mostly randomly.

To sum it up - fear of death.

Well, in terms of fear of death, Zhang Chen feels that he is already a terminal patient.

"But!" Liu Yifei also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her mentality.

But she felt bad for Zhang Chen spending money so recklessly.

"But what but? Help me think of a name for this plane. I plan to call it Morning Light!" Zhang Chen looked at the little girl proudly, "Isn't it very domineering?"

Liu Yifei also suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, tilted her head and couldn't help complaining: "Why do you always use the word 'Morning Light' when naming?"

"Any questions? It's easy to remember!"

"How about calling me Xixi?" Liu Yifei was so excited that she felt like a little genius.

This way Zhang Chen can stay in her belly every day.
When Liu Yifei thought of this, her expression froze and she felt weird: "No, no, don't call me Xixi."

"But I feel pretty good?"

Zhang Chen touched his chin and thought seriously about this serious problem. The things he named were too homogeneous.

Therefore, as long as Liu Yifei's proposal did not contain the word "Morning Light" like his, Zhang Chen would be able to accept it.

"No, no!" Liu Yifei shook her head frantically, wanting to withdraw her proposal, "This name doesn't sound good!"

"You think your name is not nice?" Zhang Chen looked at the suddenly shy girl with a strange look on his face. "Didn't you forcefully take the naming rights of my custom microphone before? That thing was also called 'Sissi'. How about changing it too?"

"That won't work!"

This time, Liu Yifei felt that the name Xixi sounded nice again.

After all, the microphone was held at Zhang Chen's mouth.

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei's face turned even redder.

"How weird! It's decided. Xiao Xue, have someone spray the paint on." Zhang Chen ignored Xiao Liu who suddenly became hesitant and gave an order to Xue Yining who had been acting invisible.

Half an hour later, Zhang Chen looked at the three huge words "Sissi" on the plane and nodded with satisfaction.

The King of Pop and the Steel Giant, coupled with a cute name, this contrast is quite interesting.

"Okay, it's time to get down to business." Zhang Chen's residence in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, welcomed several distinguished guests today.

“Leon, don’t forget what you promised me last year.”

Will Smith's state at Zhang Chen's house was similar to his state at his own home. He was just lying on the sofa.

"The character prototype has been approved, and filming is expected to start next month. Please prepare well during this period."

"That's great!" Will jumped up. "Will you play a role?"

"No." Zhang Chen shook his head. "I have another project in China that needs to be filmed."

"director?"

"Well, I guess so." Zhang Chen nodded awkwardly.

"pretty good."

At this time, Madonna on the other side affirmed Zhang Chen's decision: "You are still young, it's right to try more new things."

"Don't you think I'm not doing my job properly?"

"How could that be? The talented Leon is the most charming. When you become a big director in the future, remember to give your sister a role." Madonna cast a coquettish glance at Zhang Chen.

"Come on, I don't know how long I will walk this road."

"Yes, yes, the boss is too busy."

From the corner, a slightly unhappy voice came.

Everyone turned around and saw Avril sulking there.

Zhang Chen asked doubtfully: "How do you talk to your boss?"

"Yes, yes, you are the boss, but you can't promise me something and then not do it, right?"

"What did I promise you?"

"Song!" Avril got angry when she talked about this. "You promised to write a song for me when the Grammy Awards ended last year, but you didn't do anything for a whole year. What's even worse is that you wrote songs for several newcomers on The Voice of America, but forgot to write one for me!"

"Uh-huh." Zhang Chen's face, which was originally stern when he was scolding employees, could no longer remain calm. He was a little embarrassed.

It seems that this is indeed the case?

As for Avril's attitude towards him, he was used to it. After all, she had deceived her way into the company, and she hadn't cared about anything after that. He still felt a little sorry for her.

“So, when will I get my song?”

"Does the audience have a role?" Will Smith interrupted.

Even Michael Jackson and Celine Dion, who had remained silent nearby, cast interested glances.

Since the end of "The Voice of China", no one doubts the quality of the songs written by Zhang Chen.

In terms of sales, the songs Zhang Chen wrote for several "The Voice of China" students have all topped the Billboard charts.

As for "artistic quality", the four songs written by Zhang Chen for four students received a total of 18 nominations, which is the most powerful evidence.

"Emmm" Zhang Chen was a little embarrassed, "What do you say next?"

"Sure enough, Leon only likes beautiful women." Will Smith joked.

"I don't like beautiful women, so how can I like you?"

"Sure enough, Leon only likes pretty girls." Madonna sighed, especially emphasizing the last three words.

“You guys are really…”

Zhang Chen was speechless. God knew why he made friends with these people who had no idea what a "sense of boundaries" was.

When he was thinking about retorting, he saw Michael Jackson who had remained silent: "Michael, how are you doing recently?"

Zhang Chen originally wanted to ask directly, but he didn't feel it was a good idea, so he changed to a more tactful way of asking.

"Thank you."

"It's okay, it should be done."

When Zhang Chen heard Michael's answer, he nodded in understanding.

Things should be resolved, then the problem won't be a big deal.

He was worried that this incident would bring some unnecessary trouble to Michael.

After all, in the United States, this problem is quite serious, especially for a world-renowned superstar. Everyone wants you to be perfect.

And when you have flaws, everyone will look at you differently.

This is also the price that people like them who live in the spotlight must and should bear while enjoying the benefits of this attention.

In fact, the situation had already shown signs of happening in November last year.

However, Zhang Chen has always been wary of the mentors he invited to "The Voice of China" failing to perform, especially Zhang Guorong and Michael Jackson, two superstars who died young.

So when something started to happen, Zhang Chen immediately sent someone to deal with it.

I won’t go into the specifics of the process, but generally it involves threats + giving money, and most importantly, publishing positive reports to characterize the situation before it happens.

After all these operations, Michael Jackson's incident was successfully characterized as simply being loved by children.

Zhang Chen has fewer and fewer people in this circle with whom he can have equal conversations. He also doesn't want Michael Jackson to be caught up in this vortex of negative public opinion, which would make him feel depressed and lead to his untimely death.

Moreover, Zhang Chen had a more selfish thought in his mind.

Only the living Zhang Guorong and Michael Jackson are the best competitors for Zhang Chen.

And those who died were invincible.

Zhang Chen shook his head, suppressed the dark side of his heart, and asked another question: "Jenny..."

"Oh, I'm worried about this, too."

Michael Jackson felt that their family might have offended God recently, with bad things happening one after another.

Last year, he encountered a public opinion crisis, which was just resolved by Zhang Chen, but then his sister got into trouble at this year's Super Bowl.

The dress was in good condition, how could it be torn off by Justin Timberlake?

The most important thing is that the clothes were torn off at the chest!
More importantly, it was a live broadcast!
The whole United States is watching the live broadcast!

"Forget it, let's not think about it." Michael Jackson sighed heavily, "Tomorrow is the Grammy Awards, let's think about Leon."

"What's wrong with me?" Zhang Chen looked puzzled.

"You don't know yet?!" The other people looked at Zhang Chen in surprise with a puzzled look on his face.

　I've been in a really bad state recently, but I don't think it's okay to keep delaying updates with other reasons.

　　Let me explain it to you all. Mainly because I moved back to my hometown at the end of last month, so there are a lot of trivial things to do.

　　My mother is an expert at manipulating one's mentality, so she's been a little off lately.

　　I talked to her today, it should help.

　　Finally, I shamelessly ask for some monthly tickets and rewards to give my wounded little heart a little comfort~
