"I saw you smiling when they were talking just now," Anguo Makoto responded softly.
"Your observation is quite sharp," Songgang Dong praised.
Anguo Mako sighed: "Mr. Songgang, you are really generous."
"It's okay, as long as everyone is happy," Song Gangdong said with a smile.
In fact, the parents had originally bought economy class tickets. After all, it was just a trip, and air tickets are still quite expensive nowadays. Business car and first class tickets are completely unnecessary.
But later Song Gangdong secretly upgraded their cabin class. He told them this only after they arrived at the airport, so the parents didn't know about it at that time.
"I'm sorry for the expense," said Anguo Makoto to express his gratitude.
"You are too polite, man," Song Gangdong shook his head.
An Guo Zhenzi scratched his head embarrassedly, and then changed the subject to talk about the progress of the game. It was just that the current laptop was not very good, otherwise this guy would definitely continue to work now.
"By the way, why do we have business class and first class cabins on airplanes? The place is so big here that it would be more profitable if they were all changed to economy class, right?" Qian Huifu raised this question without knowing what the girl was talking about.
"It should be to attract rich people. They ride here more frequently than ordinary people," Saori thought for a moment and replied.
"I feel like if it wasn't profitable, they wouldn't set it up like this. You know, business class and first class tickets cost a lot more than economy class tickets," replied Shinomiya Mikoto.
At this time, Songgang Dong interrupted with a smile: "What Shigong said is more correct."
"That's not right. Is it possible that the ticket price will not exceed the limit even after the number of people is increased?" Qian Huifu frowned.
“Of course not, and you ignore the fact that the plane won’t always be full. In comparison, as long as there are a few people in the business class or first class, you won’t lose money,” Song Gangdong responded.
"That's right," Qian Huifu thought for a moment and nodded.
Song Gangdong went on to say: "In fact, only about one-third of airlines' revenue comes from economy class, and the rest comes from premium class."
"It's actually like this?" Qian Huifu was surprised.
The others also felt that they had learned something. After all, no one would pay special attention to such things. They felt that Song Gangdong knew a lot.
At this time, Ohkouchi was feeling very good as she looked at the sea of clouds outside the window. She had never expected that she would travel abroad during her vacation.
Although I went to Europe when I graduated from college, it has been a long time since then, so I am still a little excited to go abroad again, which also caused me to suffer from insomnia last night.
Plus, I was in a hurry when I got here, so I was very tired now, and then I fell asleep without realizing it.
The others were also a little tired after the excitement, so the entire first-class cabin became quite quiet after a while.
Because the performance of aircraft at that time was not as good as that of later generations, it took fifteen hours to fly from Neon to the Russian Bear. This was actually one of the reasons why Song Gangdong booked a first-class cabin.
Gradually it got dark outside the plane. Since the time zone difference was not that big, it was not daytime all the time. In the blink of an eye it was night.
Boom! ! !
The dazzling lightning outside illuminated the cabin and the entire plane shook, waking up everyone who was asleep.
"What happened!!!" Saori said in horror.
Song Gangdong also felt a little anxious at this time. After all, if a plane crash occurred, the chance of survival would be very small, but then he secretly cursed himself for raising the flag in vain.
At this time, the captain's voice sounded over the radio: "Dear passengers, please don't worry. We are just experiencing some turbulence. We will be fine after passing through it. But please fasten your seat belts."
At this time, lightning flashed outside the window from time to time, and the plane was shaking violently, which made everyone feel uneasy about the captain's words.
"Are we going to die?" Qian Huifu choked with sobs.
Ohkouchi said with a trembling voice: "No, it's just a small problem. We have to trust the captain."
She was obviously also very scared. After all, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. The others were similar, and they were all nervously holding on to the handrails.
Song Gangdong looked out the window at this time, and found that the plane was flying through dark clouds, and some snowflakes could be seen through the window.
"It's actually thunder and snow," Song Gangdong said in surprise.
This situation is very rare. The main reason for "thundersnow" is that the previous warm and humid air was strong. When the cold air came down, strong convective weather occurred, which triggered lightning activity.
Generally, there is only a very small probability of this happening, but they unexpectedly encounter it. They don’t know whether it is lucky or unlucky, but in their case it is the latter.
Just as he was complaining in his heart, he found that his hand was being held. He turned around and saw that it was An Guo Zhenzi who was closing his eyes. From his trembling hands, it was obvious that he was very scared.
"The touch is better than a girl's hand..." Songgang Dong was speechless.
However, he still hoped that there was a real girl next to him at this time. After all, he didn't have any strange hobbies. Maybe it was because of his wild thoughts that he calmed down.
Then the lights on the plane flickered and finally stopped shaking, and moonlight shone through the window, proving that we had passed through the dark cloud.
"Guests, we have passed through the thundercloud. We are sorry to have frightened you all. The rest of the journey will be safe, please rest assured."
After the captain's announcement, all the passengers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then the noise began to rise. After all, surviving a disaster always makes people excited.
"I was really scared," Saori said fearfully, patting her chest.
Shinomiya Mikoto also nodded with a bad look on her face: "Fortunately, we got through it safely."
"I don't think I want to take a plane anymore," Kanna Nagano complained.
"Me too," Qian Huifu echoed with tears on her face.
Ohkouchi comforted him, "Don't worry, this is just a low-probability event. In fact, the safety factor of the aircraft is still very high."
Songgang Dong was also frightened at this time, but he still agreed, "The teacher is right, and if we don't take a plane, we can only take a boat, but it takes too long to get from Mao Xiong to Neon, so we have to take a plane when we go back."
"Okay," Kanna Nagano nodded helplessly.
She was also very unlucky. She encountered this situation on her first flight. It would probably take a long time for the psychological trauma to dissipate.
"And An Guo, how long are you going to hold my hand..." Song Gangdong reminded silently.
"Oh, sorry." An Guo Zhenzi let go quickly in shame.
Then he felt numb at the looks from several girls. Fortunately, the flight attendant came over at this time and diverted their attention, making him feel better.
The flight attendant came over and brought everyone milk, which really helped to calm the nerves, and after drinking it, we did feel much better mentally.
After such a thrilling experience, everyone was of course no longer sleepy, so they started chatting again, and the topic was what had just happened.
"Brother Songgang, the phenomenon we just saw is called thunder and snow?" Saori asked curiously.
Song Gangdong nodded: "Yes, there will be thunder when it snows, but it is relatively rare."
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of manifestation," Shinomiya Mikoto exclaimed.
The others also nodded, and after Song Gangdong gave a brief explanation, everyone understood. After all, there are no really stupid people here.
After this episode, the rest of the journey went very smoothly. We could already see the city in the distance, but it was not very clear because it was night.
"Dear passengers, you have arrived at Sheremetyevo Alexander Pushkin International Airport. I wish you a pleasant journey."
The passengers all sneered when they heard the captain's voice. This trip was not going to be a pleasant one. Some of them were so scared that they wet their pants. Now they just wanted to get off this unfortunate plane as soon as possible.
Song Gangdong and his group were no exception. Since they were first-class passengers, they were the first to get off the plane. However, the cold air made everyone shiver as soon as they got out of the plane.
"It's really cold," Saori said, shrinking her neck.
"Hurry up and go inside the airport," Song Gangdong responded.
The cold made everyone walk much faster than usual, but the distance still made them frozen. After entering the building, their faces were frozen red.
He paused for a while before walking towards the exit. As soon as he went out, Songgang Dong saw two familiar figures. They were the butler Fujiwara and the already more mature Sengoku Tomoyo.
When Chiyoko Sengoku saw the group of girls behind him, she felt jealous and indignant, but then she felt helpless. After all, the relationship between them was destined to be shady.
Chapter 157: The growth of wealth makes people happy
Butler Fujiwara smiled and said, "Everyone must be very tired. The accommodation has been prepared."
"Thank you for your hard work," Song Gangdong nodded.
Chiyo Sengoku looked at him with affection in her eyes and said, "I didn't expect so many people would come."
"This was an accident," Song Gangdong replied helplessly.
"Brother Songgang, who is this?" Saori felt that this girl seemed familiar.
"You should have seen what she said," Songgang Dong responded.
At this time, Chiyo Sengoku stood up and said generously: "My name is Chiyo Sengoku. I have offended many people on the train and in the alleys on the way to Akihabara before."
When Saori heard this, she suddenly remembered and pointed at her and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Matsuoka Dong quickly explained: "Tomoyo is now my subordinate and currently serves as the assistant to Butler Fujiwara."
"Huh?" Saori had a question mark on her face.
"We'll talk about the details later. It's very late now," Song Gangdong responded.
Chiyo Sengoku said with a smile: "Please follow me, the car is ready."
Since everyone was indeed exhausted, they all agreed and followed Fujiwara and Tomoyo outside. When they went out, they saw a super-long Rolls-Royce.
"This kind of car has appeared in movies. I didn't expect to have the chance to sit in one," Qian Huifu said happily.
"Me too" Yoshikawa Yumi's eyes lit up.
Including Song Gangdong, it was the first time for everyone to ride in this kind of car, so they looked around with great curiosity when they got on. The space inside the car was very spacious and could accommodate so many people.
"Is this car rented?" Song Gangdong asked curiously.
Chiyo Sengoku smiled and said, "This was bought by our company. It belongs to you."
This surprised Song Gangdong: "How much did this cost?"
"About 5000 million yen," Tomoyo Sengoku replied.
"What? How is this possible?" Song Gangdong was very surprised.
It's not too much but too little. Even if he doesn't know the price of the car, this customized luxury car will cost at least one million US dollars, and 5000 million yen is simply a bargain.
"Actually, this is half-sold and half-given away, so it's so cheap. It's public property," said Chiyoro Sengoku meaningfully.
"So that's how it is." Songgang Dong almost understood.
It seems that Hanazawa Xiang is doing better business here than he imagined, which makes him look forward to it and want to know how many times his investment has increased.
He hasn't paid much attention to this side since he completely gave up power. After all, Fujiwara and Tomoyo are still watching over it, so he feels very relieved. When communicating, he just wants to understand the general direction, so he doesn't know much about the details.
This trip was also to inspect the business and check the accounts, and to give some suggestions based on future memories, and I also wanted to be intimate with Chihiro.
However, he had to be more careful with the girls following him. He didn't give up completely. After all, he had been holding it in for a long time. When he saw Chiyoko, he felt the fire in his body suddenly burning.
