Chapter 358(1/2)

On June 21, a flight heading to the United States set off from Shencheng.

There are no direct planes to the United States in Chengdu, and they need to transfer. They usually depart from the Imperial Capital or the T2 Airport in Shencheng, and the nearest one is in Shencheng.

The journey is long and the route is more than 9,000 kilometers, which means it directly to Los Angeles Chicken City, the west coast of the United States, and it takes a thirteen-hour flight.

Taking a long distance is much more painful than taking a long distance from a train.

When the airflow encounters, the airflow will bump, and the airplane will be very noisy, especially in the seat behind the wings, the ears will buzz constantly.

Due to space limitations, the cabin is generally smaller than the hard seat of a train. It will be uncomfortable to sit for a long time and cannot even stretch out your legs.

People with strong curiosity may sit by the window, but people with more planes may choose to build seats for walkways, which are easier to stretch their feet.

Moreover, after the plane arrived at the stratosphere, the windows saw layers of white clouds, and the scenery was basically the same thousands of times. If you saw too much, there would be no newness, but it would not be as easy as walking around like taking a train.

In addition to the air pressure problems inside and outside the plane, the ears are still quite uncomfortable.

If it is a distance of hundreds of kilometers, some people would rather drive five or six hours than take a plane, just because they are afraid of tossing.

This time, even if Chen Shi was booked in first class, it was very exhausting to sail for a long time.

The few people who accompanied Chen Shi were in business class and economy class, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

This time when he went abroad, Chen Shi strengthened his belief in buying a private plane.

Of course, having a private jet does not mean going abroad casually.

If you want to leave the country or enter another country, you still have to go abroad with the same procedures as ordinary people, which has little to do with whether there is a private jet.

It is not difficult to go abroad now. In fact, if you have a passport, visa, money and card, and air ticket, you can basically go abroad.

In recent years, I have been convenient to apply for a passport. I took a photo at the entrance and exit office of the Public An Bureau nearest where I registered my household registration and filled in my personal information. There is no complicated process and if no one queuing up, the procedures will be completed in a few minutes, and the cost is about 200 yuan.

Next is to wait for the notebook, which takes about ten working days.

If you are expedited, you will go to get the information in person without mailing it. Now most places do not need to have additional handling fees.

If there is any relationship and is a special situation, it may be faster, so there is no need to say more.

But getting a passport does not mean you can go to all countries immediately. Except for visa-free countries, Chinese people need visas to go to most countries.

It is simply understood that a passport is our ID card abroad, and our domestic ID card is only applicable to the country.

Visa is a license. We apply for a visa to get a license to go to another country. Therefore, with the identity certificate (passport), we have to apply for a visa (which country to apply for a visa to which country).

After all, visas are the entry restrictions for Chinese people by foreigners.

The visa information of different countries is different, and some have to interview and ask various questions. Some countries have submitted complete visa information and paid all the visa fees, but the visa results have not been approved.

It is more troublesome to apply for a visa for the United States, including business visas, tourist visas, visiting relatives visas, and some materials for different visas have changed.

Chen Shi applied for a business visa this time, that is, a B-1 visa, which is a visa issued by American units and institutions to foreigners who go to the United States to engage in short-term (usually 1-6 months) business activities.

Certified holders can engage in short-term business activities in the United States, such as business inspections, contract negotiations, ordering or selling products, participating in business exhibitions, etc.

Although business visas are relatively simple than others, the procedures to be done are still complicated, including invitation letters, personal information, various property certificates, English resumes, etc.

Chen Shi did not understand these complicated procedures and left them to the person who specialized in handling this matter to the company. He would go to the embassy if he needed to go to the embassy.

The business invitation letter was sent by the American Academic Press, a partner of Shenshi Group.

Chen Shi's Harry International English version, one is an agent of the American scholastic (academic) publisher, and the other is an agent of the European bloomsbury publisher.

The Academic Press was established in 1920 and has a long history.

It is also a world-renowned publisher and publisher of children's books and multimedia software. It is a listed company on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in the United States with nearly 10,000 employees.

Harry International's English version has accumulated sales of 50 million copies in the past few months (excluding China), with sales of nearly one billion US dollars. North America accounts for the most part and has been on the New York Times bestseller rankings for several weeks.

You know, Academic Press had revenue of $1.5 billion last year, and since acting as a proxy for Harry, it has easily reached $2 billion this year.

Therefore, Chen Shi is a VIP, and the entire company attaches great importance to it. The boss and senior management, and the staff of the top and bottom should be prepared to welcome Chen Shi, hoping to have more cooperation in the future.

Chen Shi is a big gold mine for them.

The academic publisher has an average status in the United States. Chen Shi also got an extra invitation letter when he went out this time, from Boeing.

There is no need to say more about Boeing's status in the United States.

This time Chen Shi went to the United States, buying a plane was the main thing, and he also visited the academic publishing house.

Because Shenshi Group has business dealings abroad and offices abroad, it has been accompanied by employees of the US branch of the United States.

So there are not many entourages who went abroad with Chen Shi this time, including two bodyguards, one translator, and Yang Hanwen, the general manager of the cultural company and the group deputy general manager.

Yang Hanwen has gone abroad a lot. Since Harry International's English version was launched in the United States, he has gone to the United States to handle business twice.

This time, Yang Hanwen was also in the first class cabin. The long journey was long and it was really boring. The two got together to chat and eat melon seeds and drink tea.

"Mr. Yang, this first-class cabin is not cheap either. You can buy a car worth more than 100,000 yuan when you go back and forth. It's such a luxury." Chen Shi started his business in less than two years and was really not used to the high prices.

The main reason is that I feel it is not worth it. One-way air tickets cost more than 70,000 yuan, which is only two days. If a wage earner goes to work, he must save at least half a year.

"Haha, boss, you think it's expensive, so it's not necessary to say that ordinary people are. Summer flights are the golden period at noon again, and air tickets are relatively expensive." Yang Hanwen knew that the boss was sighing, and also knew that the boss was not stingy.

The boss earns tens of millions a day and tens of thousands a minute, of course he doesn't care about tens of thousands of dollars.

The boss may earn more than 100,000 yuan if he drinks a cup of tea.

When he bought the air ticket, Yang Hanwen just wanted to take business class. He had been in first class, but it was all short-distance. He really never took the long-distance first class. The boss asked him to buy first class for him.

The boss planned to buy a private plane, but Yang Hanwen was not surprised. With the company's money-making ability, buying more than a dozen Boeing 777s they were riding in a year is not a problem.

When the boss’s private plane is ready and then on a business trip with the boss, he will have a chance to enjoy it. I am looking forward to it.

"Well, there are still very few domestic flights using Boeing 777."

"It's very rare. This plane is too expensive. Domestic flights take into account the operating costs and range conditions, and there is no need to board this type of aircraft. Otherwise, boss, you can consider this plane, which is much more stable than a320, harbor, etc."

Chen Shi was silent for a while and then felt the flight seriously: "You can consider it, but you should see it first."

The two of them went from disliked the expensive air tickets to buying a Boeing 777 that cost more than 10 billion yuan, and the leap was too big.

If the flight attendant who was standing not far away knew Chen Shi's identity, even if he was in the first class, he would have thought he was bragging.

The flight belongs to a Chinese company, and the crew and flight attendant are both Chinese personnel. They are indeed familiar with Chen Shi, a famous celebrity.

The young and beautiful flight attendant standing near Chen Shi always wanted to hook up with Chen Shi, but he didn't have the chance to stare at him and chatted with another middle-aged man, and he was having a lot of fun.

The only opportunity to get in touch is to come up and pour tea.

What she didn't understand was that this kind of rich man didn't like drinking red wine. You should know that red wine can be provided in the first class.

Judging from the behavior, words and deeds of these two people, she complained in her heart.

"Hey, the idea of ​​the rich is really strange. Maybe red wine is not as good as boiled water for them."

"You can talk about anything. You are so rich and you still think that air tickets are expensive, but you want to buy a private plane again. Wouldn't that be even more luxurious? It costs tens of millions of dollars to store and maintain a year."

"Hey, the air ticket is too expensive, it's more cost-effective to buy a plane. I'm convinced of this idea."

"Hey, the house price is too expensive, so it's better to start a real estate company. It's more cost-effective to develop it yourself."

The flight attendant on international flights does not mean that it is definitely more beautiful than the flight attendant on domestic flights, but most of the flight attendants serving first-class cabins are young and beautiful.

But it is also possible that it is the older flight attendant.

Zhang Ziyin is in her early twenties this year and claims to be more beautiful than ordinary female stars. In fact, she does have this capital.

She is 1.7 meters tall, slim, with a concave and convex posture, with delicate and white skin. She wears a slim work clothes and looks elegant and upright after pulling her hair. She walks gracefully and is also a beauty at the school level at school.

If an ordinary man looks at the elegant curves, his nose will be wide open and he can't help but peep, and even want to go up and touch it.

In the past two years of running international flights, I have met many high-end business people, and there are even rich second generations. However, she doesn't like ordinary men.

What's more, the men who chatted with her were young and were mostly married and wanted old cows to eat young grass.

The income of the flight attendant is not low, and most of them are not bad in appearance. Generally, beautiful flight attendants will not marry ordinary working class.

Most of them marry insiders, i.e. crew members or company management.

The ones they prefer are the rich ones of the generation, or the tall, rich and handsome ones among the super rich second generation.

Of course, ordinary rich people don’t lack beauties around them, and they really don’t look down on flight attendants with average background and generally have low education.

When Zhang Ziyin saw Chen Shi, his eyes lit up.

The more you look at Chen Shi, the more you appreciate it. The more you look at Chen Shi, the more handsome you look at him. He needs money, appearance, talent and talent. Anyway, he has whatever he wants, and no matter how he looks, he is the most handsome.

At the same time, she had various conflicts of conflicts with her mind, and she was unstable, and she didn't know how to get up and chat with her.

Such an excellent man, but she was timid.

"Will such an excellent man fall in love with me? He will most likely reject me."

"It seems like he already has a fiancée. What should I choose?"

"If I ask for it, I shouldn't hesitate?"

Just as he was thinking, the man named Mr. Yang was calling her.

"Madam, please give me another pot of tea, thank you."

"OK!"
