Chapter 1337: Chapter 1068: Thirty Thousand Feet_2
"Yes, our company has indeed acquired several office buildings, including the Central Center and the World Trade Plaza. These buildings are mainly for our own use and it is highly unlikely that they would be resold in the short term..."
...
After finalizing the purchase contract for Golden Center Phase II, Zhang Xiaoxi’s property buying trip in Xiangjiang finally came to an end.
Firstly, there wasn’t enough capital on hand; even with loans, the banks wouldn’t lend indefinitely without a limit.
Secondly, other landmark buildings were truly out of reach; even with a premium offer, no one was willing to sell, so there was no point in forcing others. After all, Wang Ye hadn’t planned on sweeping up all of the top office buildings in Xiangjiang.
In the end, with twenty billion CNY squeezed from domestic sources and another two billion USD transferred from Wang Ye, and an additional six hundred and fifty billion Hong Kong Dollars borrowed from the Bank of China’s Xiangjiang branch, Zhang Xiaoxi acquired five buildings in total. This included the Golden Center Phase II, Central Center, and International Trade Plaza, securing a "corner" in Xiangjiang’s Central district.
These towering skyscrapers standing there would bring Wang Ye an annual income of ten to twenty billion CNY just from rent in the future!
This is what true real estate investment is all about!
Hence, Wang Ye didn’t intend to sell these buildings for cash in the future, but rather keep them and pass them on to his descendants.
After all, it could already be anticipated that he would have many children, and there might not be enough inheritance to go around if the assets were too meager...
But that would be an issue decades from now, so there was no need to worry about it at present.
...
Wang Ye was already preparing to depart for the United States to attend Apple’s new product launch.
He would fly directly from Moscow to San Francisco, where Apple headquarters is located, covering a distance of nearly ten thousand kilometers, requiring about ten hours of flight time.
It was only because Wang Ye’s private jet was a Gulfstream G550, which could fly twelve thousand kilometers on a full tank without needing to land, that he didn’t need to stop for refueling along the way, saving quite a bit of time.
As this trip to the United States was in a private capacity, simply to attend the new product launch by Apple, Wang Ye didn’t bring many attendants.
Apart from a few security personnel, he only brought his assistant Nova, and Nalan Yaqi, who was like a "fifth wheel"...
Nalan Yaqi had been busy with her own work lately; after all, she was now a boss of a company, although it was just a subsidiary of the Xiao Ying Group; its strength was not to be underestimated!
The Xiao Ying shopping center in Moscow almost monopolized the top luxury brands and was doing very well, with healthy profits.
Thus, buoyed by enthusiasm, Nalan Yaqi made plans to open several more branches in cities like Petersburg, Yalta, Kiev, and even considered entering the Mainland market, eyeing land in several major first-tier cities for new outlets.
Opening so many new stores naturally meant a lot of work. Even with numerous professional managers handling tasks, she, as the boss, couldn’t afford to be idle.
This had left her quite worn out. Lately, whenever she saw Wang Ye, she would clamor about "resigning" and "retiring," no longer wanting to deal with business and instead hoping Wang Ye would just "support" her.
Of course, this was just her playfully joking around; she probably wouldn’t bear to quit for real.
The Xiao Ying shopping center might not be very large, but it was still something that Nalan Yaqi had built up from nothing.
Honestly, whenever she visited the Xiao Ying shopping center, she felt a sense of pride that she had accomplished something significant and wasn’t just idling her life away...
A couple of days ago, during a dinner together, Wang Ye mentioned that he would be going to the United States for a few days to attend the new product launch of Apple, a company he had invested in.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yaqi eagerly insisted on joining him. It was a good opportunity for her to take a break, and the chance to go on a trip alone with Wang Ye was not something she wanted to miss.
Especially since chances like this were very rare ever since she got together with Wang Ye.
After some thought, Wang Ye figured that since there was no pressing business on this trip and taking Nalan Yaqi along wouldn’t affect anything, and seeing how hard she had been working lately, he didn’t have the heart to refuse her and decided to take her with him...
...
The silver Gulfstream G550 soared high in the sky, its flight smooth and steady, and the cabin space quite spacious.
Originally capable of accommodating nearly twenty people, the space was now scattered with just a few individuals.
Nova sat in a large, comfortable seat, holding a sleek laptop in her hands that seemed to be for work, but in truth, her mind had wandered elsewhere.
Every now and then, she would steal a glance at the closed door of the nearby bedroom, straining her ears to listen for any sound coming from inside, before lowering her head and muttering something to herself.
This private plane does indeed have a bedroom, providing a comfortable place to sleep during long-haul flights.
Of course, the only one privileged enough to sleep there was Wang Ye.
But today, it wasn’t just Wang Ye entering; there was also a girl, which is why Nova grumbled for quite a while.
Nova, having followed her boss for several years, was well aware of his "philandering" ways. The girl called Nalan Yaqi, who followed the boss into the bedroom today, was also known to Nova, though they weren’t very familiar.
Normally, knowing about these things didn’t affect her, especially since her own sister had said nothing about it, let alone Nova, the lowly assistant, judging the boss.
However, today was a bit awkward; the boss was fooling around with another girl inside, and she could only miserably guard the bedroom door, occasionally hearing sounds that made one blush and the heart race...
After all, she was still a "pure" girl!
Reflecting on her age, Nova felt a bit sad that she still hadn’t had a boyfriend.
She was about the same age as Wang Ye, just a few months younger, approaching 25 this year, and yet she had never been in a relationship.
It couldn’t be helped; during high school, her parents were quite strict, and she herself was a good girl, always buried in her studies, striving to win a scholarship to one of Moscow’s prestigious universities.
After coming to Moscow for university, she had started working for her "brother-in-law," extremely busy, and having seen the world, naturally, her standards rose, somewhat disdainful of the "immature" male classmates at school.
As a result, to this day, she still hadn’t encountered a boy who could make her heart flutter.
Oh, if she really had to say, there was one, but his status was so special, she didn’t dare to think about it...
........
After the tenderness passed and things quieted down, Nalan Yaqi said with a giggly smile:
"This feeling...
is pretty thrilling!
I suddenly thought of a song, how does it go?
The plane is resisting the earth, I’m resisting you
Far from the ground, approaching an altitude of thirty thousand feet
...
Climbing, the speed propels me towards the summit,
I hide in the clouds at thirty thousand feet,
Every time I pass through the turbulence,
I hold you tight..."
Wang Ye listened with a mix of laughter and exasperation; he had heard the song, Dick Cowboy’s "Thirty Thousand Feet," but Nalan Yaqi changed a few words in the lyrics, intentionally or not.
Hearing these somewhat suggestive lyrics and seeing the flirty eyes and blushing face of Nalan Yaqi, Wang Ye couldn’t help himself and went for a "counterattack"...
He completely routed her, leaving no armor behind!
Outside the bedroom, as Nova heard the increasingly intense noise from inside, she lowered her head and blushed, muttering to herself in contempt, these shameless lovers!
........
After about ten hours of long-distance flying, the Gulfstream G550 arrived at San Francisco Airport.
Here, Apple’s staff, as well as personnel from the Diplomatic Security Bureau sent to protect Wang Ye, had already been waiting for some time.
Because the press conference was to be held the next day, and Boss Qiao and his team were quite busy, Wang Ye didn’t have them come to pick him up. After exiting the airport, he went straight to the hotel to rest.
Without any further incidents, the next morning he got up refreshed, finished his morning routine, enjoyed breakfast, changed his clothes, and decided to first take a tour of Apple headquarters.
