Super Rich by Doing as You Please

’But this way,’ Xu Yun thought, ’maybe I’ll get to tag along and see what it’s like to take a helicopter to Xiangjiang!’

Back at the hotel, Lin Wanzhou had already returned from his workout.

Xu Yun told him about the tour guide situation. Not long after, he received a confirmation message from Yu Jiaming, along with an address: the rooftop of the Great China building.

So he said, "Let’s go. Pack your things. We’re getting ready to go to Xiangjiang."

"Okay."

「Half an hour later.」

Lin Wanzhou looked at the elevator leading to the building’s rooftop and asked doubtfully, "Aren’t we going to Xiangjiang? Why are we here?"

"You’ll see when we get there."

The two of them arrived on the top floor. Yu Jiaming was already there, waiting for them at the entrance.

Xu Yun introduced them, and then they all headed toward the helipad on the roof.

He was also looking forward to taking a helicopter to Hong Kong.

Fifty meters ahead, Yu Jiaming pushed open a safety door. There, on the massive helipad atop the building, a helicopter worth over 60 million yuan appeared before Xu Yun and Lin Wanzhou.

The flight crew stood outside, waiting for them quietly.

The scene left Xu Yun utterly stunned!

It was like a movie scene had come to life.

He had only ever seen something like this in movies; he never thought he’d get to experience it himself.

"President Xu."

Yu Jiaming said, "The entire crew is ready. We can board and depart."

"Hold on, what’s going on?"

Lin Wanzhou had seen plenty of helicopters and wasn’t surprised by the sight of one, but that was back in the military!

"We’re flying to Hong Kong."

Xu Yun said with a smile, "Come on, let’s go experience what it feels like to ’hail a chopper’."

Lin Wanzhou was speechless. "..."

’Shenzhen is so close to Xiangjiang, and you’re taking a helicopter?’

’We’ll have to get off before my seat even gets warm.’

’Just as I thought. He has more money than he knows what to do with, just throwing it around like a walking ATM!’

With the crew’s help, Xu Yun and Yu Jiaming climbed aboard, a bit cautiously. Lin Wanzhou’s movements, however, were practiced and skillful—he was clearly a veteran.

As the massive rotor blades began to spin, they instantly generated a powerful gust of wind and a deafening noise.

Slowly, the aircraft began to lift off the ground.

Xu Yun looked at Lin Wanzhou, who was sitting casually without his seatbelt fastened, and reminded him, "You’re not wearing your seatbelt."

"Doesn’t make much difference whether I wear it or not. This isn’t a car."

Lin Wanzhou said, "If we’re unlucky enough to have an accident in the air, it’s pretty much the same whether you’re buckled in or not. It’s hard to survive either way."

Xu Yun was aghast.

"And let me tell you another fact."

Lin Wanzhou chuckled. "The accident rate for helicopters is 700% higher than for commercial airliners. So, if you can help it, don’t ride in these things. It’s basically asking for trouble."

Xu Yun was silent. "..."

Yu Jiaming, who was sitting nearby, was also terrified.

’Holy shit, are helicopters really that dangerous?’

Hearing this, the co-pilot of the helicopter spoke up, slightly miffed. "Sir, our helicopters are very safe. They’re not as bad as you make them out to be."

"Besides, you’re not a professional. You don’t understand its operating principles, and you certainly can’t fly one, so you shouldn’t listen to such alarmist talk."

"I’m not a professional? I can’t fly one?"

Lin Wanzhou laughed, half in anger. "How about I kick you out right now and give it a try? When I was flying combat helicopters, you were still playing with simulators."

’I may not know how to pick up girls, but to say I can’t fly a helicopter? Who do you think you’re looking down on!’

"Uh..."

A combat helicopter?

The co-pilot was instantly shut down.

’Compared to him, it seems I’m the one who’s not professional enough.’

Xu Yun was also surprised that Old Lin actually knew how to fly.

He asked with a grin, "You’ve really flown one? You’re not bullshitting me?"

"What’s there to brag about?"

Lin Wanzhou said, "Flying these things was a required course for us back in the day."

"Then can you fly a commercial airliner?" Xu Yun asked.

He’d been thinking about buying a Gulfstream private jet. If Lin Wanzhou could fly one, he might try to poach him to be his captain.

A pilot from the military would definitely be more reliable than one from a civilian training school. Take the current Sichuan Airlines flight model for example.

Whether it’s rain, snow, or high winds, as long as it’s not raining knives, Shandong Airlines is never late!

On-time flights arrive early, and delayed flights arrive on time.

This just goes to show how "wild" military-trained pilots can be, but that "wildness" is built on absolute confidence in their skills.

"I can’t fly those."

Lin Wanzhou shook his head. "To fly a commercial airliner, you need a fighter pilot with even more experience and skill."

"Do you know anyone, then? Or have any connections?"

Xu Yun said, "Help me find a retired fighter pilot in the future."

"You have your own private jet?"

"Not yet."

Xu Yun grinned. "But once I find the right person, I can buy one anytime."

Lin Wanzhou was speechless. "..."

’Rich people really do talk with confidence.’

The flight crew and Yu Jiaming listened to their conversation with mixed feelings.

’Damn, who is this rich young master out for a joyride?’

’Not only did he hire a retired special forces soldier as a bodyguard, but he’s also talking about buying a private jet worth tens or even hundreds of millions like it’s nothing!’

’No wonder he didn’t even blink at the 300,000-plus fee. To him, it’s just pocket change.’

The helicopter took off from Futian Central Business District and flew toward Xiangjiang’s International Airport.

Because they were flying at a relatively low altitude, their view was excellent. They could clearly see the various scenic spots and famous buildings they passed along the way.

Knowing it was their first time and that they wouldn’t be familiar with the sights, Yu Jiaming began to enthusiastically point things out to them along the route.
