Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 323 No Need to Buy a Plane, The Martian is Completed

"Why are there only two female stars in 'Hero'?!"

Two hundred million US dollars have been received.

Tang Wen picked up the glass and took a comfortable sip of tea, then put the glass down, finding it utterly displeasing.

That's how much I'm worth.

How can you drink tea from a glass?

If foreigners see this, they'll think I don't know anything about tea!

We need to replace the porcelain with custom-made pieces from China; they must be master-level pieces…

Private jet, now I can finally buy one!

Tang Wen has been frequenting the flying club lately and has learned a lot of relevant information.

There are only a few types of business jets that can cross the Pacific Ocean these days.

The Bombardier Global Express is the choice of many international superstars.

It can fly a total distance of about 1 kilometers, which is roughly enough to fly from Los Angeles to Beijing.

However, according to an expert instructor from the flying club, if the plane is full of eight people, it probably won't be able to fly.

Tang Wen was speechless after hearing this.

This flight distance is too far. What if we encounter special weather or something and have to take a detour? Wouldn't there be a risk of not being able to land and ending up in the sea?

Hmm, I guess I'll have to practice swimming and skydiving later.

The most reliable and mature business jet is made by Boeing, specifically a modified version of the Boeing 737.

By adding seven auxiliary fuel tanks, the range was increased from seven or eight thousand kilometers to over ten thousand kilometers.

Tang Wen was completely stunned after hearing this.

It sounds so much like the cooking philosophy of "add water if there's too much dough".

You call this kind of fuel tank technology mature and reliable?

It seems that Aramco's later decline in manufacturing was not without reason.

If this were in China, engineers could easily create a special model specifically designed for crossing the ocean.

Just as Tang Wen was considering whether to buy it two years later...

The other party mentioned the Gulfstream G550.

This heavy-duty luxury business jet completed its test flight last year and made its maiden voyage this year, easily flying from Los Angeles to Beijing.

Its maximum range is nearly 12,000 kilometers.

Mass production has begun, and private customization is also accepted.

A separate bedroom, shower room, and kitchen can all be arranged.

Considering that it would take a considerable amount of time from ordering to delivery, Tang Wen decided to place the order now.

"Book a plane?" Lin Zhiling's tone was unnatural.

"What's wrong?" Tang Wen's head was resting on her round thighs.

One hand was holding her toes encased in black stockings, while the other was inside her shirt.

I'm not sure why she's acting unnaturally.

"Can we postpone the purchase?"

"Hmm?" Tang Wen raised an eyebrow.

Sister Lin bent down and kissed him on the forehead, saying coquettishly, "Anyway, there will definitely be a plane for you to ride in this year."

"What do you mean? You bought it for me? Wait, how much do you earn in a year?"

In fact, Lin Chih-ling's annual salary and bonuses are no less than those of top-tier female stars in China.

But when it comes to buying a private jet, the difference is quite significant.

"Oh, brother, please don't ask anymore~"

Sister Lin blushed and called out the special nickname that was only used at night.

Her red lips parted slightly, and her warm breath brushed against her ear.

It makes your bones melt.

This goblin!
“Okay. But one isn’t enough. You’re thinking of buying one in the company’s name, since Sun Chao and his Facebook team will need one in the future.” Tang Wen guessed that Lin Zhiling and Naomi might be pooling their money to buy it for him.

We were worried that the planes they liked might not be suitable, so we took precautions.

"Why don't you buy one and rent it out to them? You can get the rental income and offset your taxes..."

"Okay, I'll ask the accountant."

The United States has a complex tax system, and tax avoidance through improper means is not an option.

The professional opinion given by accountants and lawyers is that Tang Wen bought the plane in his own name, leased it to the company, and designated it for his own use.

After all, Tang Wen is the chairman of the board, and he works tirelessly for the company's development every day. What's wrong with him enjoying a private jet?
The next day, the two of them visited Gulfstream together.

The G550 truly lives up to its reputation as a luxury business jet, with genuine leather seats, air circulation, pressure relief... a series of scientific features designed to enhance the passenger experience.

Furthermore, Tang Wen's concern about whether the captain might encounter problems during the flight is highly unlikely to occur.

Because of the transoceanic flight, two teams of maintenance personnel are required.

The likelihood of both pairs of pilots and co-pilots encountering problems is low. Tang Wen still intends to continue his studies to obtain his pilot's license.

Anyway, it doesn't take much effort.

During the day, he learned to fly with Olivia, which led to sexual arousal.

They then climbed into Olivia's Hummer together.

In the evening, I waited for Olivia to come home.

Full of energy, Tang Wen started his next sport – tennis.

Robert recommended another heiress from a wealthy business family to Don Wen—Sarah Getty—who, due to her family's immense wealth, did not live in Beverly Hills.

Sometimes she lives alone in a luxury apartment, sometimes she goes back to the estate to see her daughter, and sometimes she goes to her seaside villa...

Tang Wen waited for two days before he finally met her at the tennis court where she often appeared.

However, tennis matches are usually arranged with teammates or coaches beforehand.

The court was relatively enclosed, and although Tang Wen saw people, his good looks and skills also captured her attention.

But the two didn't exchange a single word.

He wasn't in a hurry; both fishing and fish farming require patience.

It's the weekend in a blink of an eye.

At the Los Angeles Gun Club, a shooting competition between the Coca-Cola Band and the Pepsi Band kicked off at 8 p.m.

Due to the large number of applicants, the competition had to be divided into several rounds.

Representatives from both Coca-Cola and Pepsi came and brought dozens of cases of cola to participate in the event.

The two sides fought each other head-on.

Whenever the Red Team wins, a Coca-Cola representative leads everyone in a Coca-Cola drink.

The same applies to the reverse.

The match was small-scale and not worth much publicity.

The main reason they sent people here was to see Tang Wen.

In the United States, Tang Wen has already gained considerable fame.

The relevant departments of both companies conducted investigations on music websites of all sizes across the United States and even the world.

Posts mentioning and commenting on Tang Wen Music are significantly more numerous than those for other singers, exceeding the number of posts for other artists.

You should know that those who post online every day are all young people.

The target audience for cola and carbonated drinks is primarily young people.

"Director Tang, I wonder if it would be convenient for me to visit your company tomorrow?" The representative from Coca-Cola spoke first.

Upon hearing this, PepsiCo immediately became anxious: "Director Tang, our PepsiCo vice president has invited you to dinner tomorrow!"

The two companies are at odds.

Tang Wen and Olivia exchanged a glance, and at his prompting, the latter spoke first: "No problem, you can contact your boss now and say Olivia Newsom Brown, invite them to dinner tomorrow."

Newsom, Brown?
Who introduces themselves by including their middle name?

If so, it might be something special.

The two elites from the big company weren't stupid either, and they reported back exactly what the two said.

The upper levels of the pyramid in California are not crowded.

Who Olivia is? You'll know if you ask around.

So they upgraded the contract they had prepared for Tang Wen.

Regardless of whether the contract allows for cooperation, sincerity must at least be demonstrated first.

The shooting competition continues:

The group of Americans participating in the competition are all experienced gun users.

Before the final, after seeing the "target paper" that Tang Wen had shot and learning about his record, they all expressed their dissatisfaction and wanted to have a drawing contest with him.

Tang Wen readily agreed and proceeded to crush the weaker opponents.

Whether it's a pistol or a rifle, when he gets serious, he can accurately fire a whole magazine of bullets at the same point.

The onlookers were amazed.

They won without a doubt.

However, a group of veteran shooters disagreed, saying that this kind of fixed target didn't require much skill, and challenged Tang Wen to shoot moving UFOs another day.

Tang Wen smiled and agreed.

The entire competition was documented by photographers, which can be used as promotional material later.

That evening, Director Tang drove the big car with great enthusiasm.

After several days of intense fighting, the trucks were starting to feel the strain.

Using the excuse that he had been skipping work for too long and had to go to work the next day, he called off the competition.

Tang Wen, full of energy, couldn't sleep.

I got up, poured myself a glass of wine, turned on my computer, proofread the manuscript of "The Martian" carefully, and after confirming that there were no errors, sent the first three chapters to the editor.
