596: Chapter 596: Wealthy Tycoons Gather!
Worldview Completely Destroyed!
Whir!
With the squeal of the wheels against the runway, the fuselage trembled slightly.
The private jet, having traversed tens of thousands of kilometers, had finally landed at Bandara International Airport.
The airplane was still taxiing.
Wu Jie had just received a call from customer service.
The itinerary for boarding the cruise had been submitted initially, including contact information, itinerary reception, and many other details.
One had to say, the powers behind Super Cruise Ship Brune were indeed quite immense.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao’s plane had just landed, and they already knew about it.
And what was most unbelievable was…
The private jet slowly taxied to the designated parking spot.
The stairs were gradually lowered, and two Mercedes Benz cars, one leading and the other following, escorted a Rolls-Royce Phantom that slowly drove over.
The door of the Rolls-Royce opened right across from the stair exit.
From both Mercedes cars, burly men in identical attire alighted.
Each one was dressed in a suit, wearing sunglasses, looking quite stylish.
The coolest part was that they all held black briefcases in their left hands and had their right hands tucked inside their jackets, ready to draw a gun at any moment.
Their positioning also formed an inner and outer two-layered circular protection ring.
This way, they could adequately ensure they could handle any ambush from any direction with composure.
Of course.
Greeting them on board was a blonde, blue-eyed professional woman.
With one glance, Wu Jie quickly averted his eyes.
Back then, just a few glances at Chu Yunxuan had caused Tang Xiao no small amount of jealousy.
This time, he had to learn from his lesson.
One had to admit, the welcome service was indeed very thorough!
The foreign beauty arranged to pick them up could speak fluent Mandarin.
Under her guidance, Wu Jie and Tang Xiao left the private jet and boarded the Rolls-Royce Phantom they had prepared.
But they didn’t immediately head for the cruise ship; instead, they went to the VIP area inside the airport terminal to wait.
But the wait wasn’t for nothing, as it began with a thorough strip-search and isolation security check.
To ensure the safety of the wealthy individuals’ persons and property once aboard the cruise ship.
Any knives, guns, or similar weapons were not allowed to be brought on board.
Even to prevent poisoning, clothes and shoes were carefully inspected, and even cosmetics were not overlooked.
Knowing there would be a strict check, Wu Jie’s darts, silver needles, and military knife, of course, had no chance of getting through.
Thus, Wu Jie and Tang Xiao had traveled light, bringing only a change of clothes.
Electronic devices like phones and computers could only be sealed in password-protected boxes and checked onto the ship, and they were only to be used in case of emergencies.
The goal, naturally, was to prevent sneaky filming or recording.
Once the security check was over, they could enjoy some exquisite food and coffee while listening to the precautions for after boarding the cruise ship.
Of course, it was also a chance to pay any outstanding charges.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao had booked a three-day visit on the cruise and had paid eight million Gold Coins.
If they wanted to stay longer, that would be two million Gold Coins per day.
However, Wu Jie didn’t pay any extra, as three days should be enough to eliminate the drug lord Kun Qianxi.
Even if time was insufficient, he could always pay extra on the cruise ship.
As time passed.
Several private jets continued to land at the airport.
And the VIP area welcomed more and more wealthy individuals.
Just as Yu Hui and Fang Qingya had said, the Super Cruise Ship Brune was a joyous vessel for male tycoons and wealthy women.
The cost of boarding the ship was very high, at one million Gold Coins per person per day.
If safety was guaranteed, why then would they need bodyguards?
Look!
Wu Jie noticed that the arriving tycoons were all either young upstarts or middle-aged, greasy men.
There were a few women, but they were old and unattractive wealthy women at that!
Nowhere to be found was someone like Wu Jie, who brought a beautiful wife on board looking as fresh as a flower and as radiant as jade.
And it seemed they weren’t first-timers on the ship; after arriving, they formed groups and engaged in conversation.
Different skin colors, different races, different nationalities…
The VIP area had effectively become a gathering place for tycoons.
And as Tang Xiao had said.
The so-called Forbes wealth list was all for show.
There were many low-profile, invisible tycoons around the world, not willing to reveal how much wealth they possessed.
The ones who actually made it onto the list were mostly entrepreneurs, and they did so reluctantly.
After all, how many shares one holds and how much they’re worth can simply be calculated.
But even so.
How much one has privately invested in other companies, bought houses, shops, luxury cars…
These things can’t be tallied at all.
Not to mention, some families and consortia with long traditions.
Under various names, they hold vast amounts of minerals, stocks, securities, etc., which are impossible to account for.
Therefore, the wealth rankings show just the tip of the iceberg of global tycoons.
Even though social information is readily available nowadays, wealth is personal privacy, and no one would reveal it easily.
Just like in big cities, a plainly dressed middle-aged or elderly person is not necessarily poor; they might have been compensated with multiple properties due to demolition.
There are over seven billion people in the world.
No one knows just how many billionaires are out there, unnoticed.
But what can be certain is…
Birds of a feather flock together, people are sorted into groups!
Wealth, hobbies, educational background, family circumstances…
Different factors lead to different circles.
How could the owner of a small business possibly know what the CEO of a multinational corporation is busy with daily?
It’s just like the super cruise ship Brune.
Plenty of people know of it, and those who can afford to board for pleasure are surely not few.
But those who enjoy it and are also qualified to play on board are relatively fewer.
And if it weren’t for an introduction, Wu Jie, despite being rich, wouldn’t know of this ship and wouldn’t have the privilege to board for leisure.
So…
Poverty limits not just the imagination but also completely isolates one from many higher-level circles.
Just like now.
Who isn’t a multi-millionaire among those waiting here in this VIP area for departure?
Otherwise, who could afford the expense of a million Gold Coins a day?
Time slowly passes.
After waiting for almost an hour and a half.
Finally, it’s time to board the plane.
Everyone carried little luggage, with some people holding nothing more than a handbag.
We took a shuttle to the tarmac.
What came into view was a large amphibious aircraft.
Boat-shaped body design, low-wing with floats, powered by four large turboprop engines.
It could take off and land on both ground airports and bodies of water.
Once inside, it was extremely comfortable and spacious.
The catering and beverage service was provided by tall and elegant beautiful female flight attendants and handsome male stewards.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao found seats at the front because behind…
It was simply not a sight for sore eyes.
Cough, cough!
Tang Xiao coughed twice, and Wu Jie quickly averted his gaze.
He put on the noise-cancelling headphones provided at his seat and watched boring celebrity MVs.
Soon enough.
The airplane taxied and took off, soaring into the vast sky.
Since it is an amphibious aircraft, it naturally wouldn’t fly too high.
Following a low and medium altitude trajectory, we inevitably encountered turbulent air along the way.
And the wealthy passengers seemed to enjoy the feeling of being jostled around.
Two hours later.
The amphibious aircraft glided and landed on the sea surface.
Ooooh!
The foghorn sounded long and loud.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao simultaneously turned to look out the portholes.
Not far away, a pristine super yacht was sailing smoothly.
Vast and imposing.
It was like a floating city on the sea, where one could faintly make out the joy of many people in the open-air swimming pools sprawled across several levels.
As the plane gently approached the yacht, there were already numerous handsome men and beautiful women waving from the gangplank.
A wicked paradise of pleasure?
