Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 549 - 362, A Bountiful Harvest, Return Home in Glory, Weather Tree Anomaly_3
Yang Fan’s mouth twitched: "I think it’s really boring."
He was the renowned Great Xia Spirit Crow, also the Great Xia Ghost whose reputation echoed across Canglan Star, and it really wasn’t worth his time to fuss over something long past with two ordinary people.
Seeing her boyfriend uninterested, Ling Shuiling didn’t insist, got up, and walked over there on her own.
The beautiful lady’s presence immediately drew everyone’s attention.
With his sharp hearing, Yang Fan listened clearly to the conversation between his girlfriend and the high school classmates.
"Excuse me, do you know Chairman Yang Fan? I’m Chairman Yang’s secretary."
"Chairman Yang?"
"Chairman Yang is the new chairman of Celestial Star Agricultural Company, a new agriculture enterprise with a market value of over 50 billion, ranked among the top five new agriculture enterprises in Hedong Province. Chairman Yang personally controls 30% of the shares, which information is available on the website of Great Xia Agricultural Bureau."
"Huh?"
"I’ve heard that you had a small grudge with Chairman Yang in high school, but Chairman Yang doesn’t mind. Chairman Yang wants to invite you two for dinner soon."
"Uh, no need!"
"Yang Fan... Chairman Yang’s kind offer, I accept it in spirit!"
These two guys again used "going to the bathroom" as an excuse and hurriedly left the departure hall.
It’s reasonable to expect they wouldn’t show up again before the flight starts boarding.
Ling Shuiling smiled sweetly and looked over, gesturing a ’V’ sign to her boyfriend.
Yang Fan was amused yet helpless.
He also noticed that many passengers had started secretly observing him.
After all, with a company valued at 50 billion, 30% shares equate to 15 billion Xia Yuan, truly a billionaire, how could ordinary people resist taking a few extra glances?
By the way.
After negotiations by the female secretary, including her father, three shareholders each transferred part of their shares, and Yang Fan suddenly became the largest shareholder.
Not only that but the state-owned asset holding enterprise in Hedong Province also held a large number of shares in Celestial Star Agriculture and added a massive 6 billion Xia Yuan investment.
Of course, these weren’t unconditional; Yang Fan signed a gambling agreement, stipulating that he must increase the market value to 100 billion Xia Yuan within 3 years, or the transfer agreement would be void.
Ling Shuiling’s parents initially required their daughter to get a marriage certificate with Yang Fan for the agreement, but the female secretary turned a deaf ear, infuriating them to curse her as an unfilial daughter.
Soon enough.
Ling Shuiling walked back gracefully and tenderly said, "Chairman Yang, would you like something to drink? I’ll get it for you."
Her current appearance was nothing like the intellectual beauty earlier, more like a typical girl with a sugar daddy.
Yang Fan was even more speechless.
But his girlfriend was enjoying herself, leaving him helpless, so he could only cooperate by saying: "Water will do!"
Ling Shuiling replied "Alright," and threw a flirtatious glance before twisting her waist like a water snake to leave.
Quarter of an hour later.
The broadcast began: "Dear passengers, your flight DX9969 is now boarding."
Since the Age of Calamity began, several major airlines in Great Xia were consolidated into Great Xia National Airlines.
With travel demand drastically reduced, more than sixty percent of passenger planes were converted to cargo planes, flying across Great Xia’s skies delivering goods all day.
To save as much energy as possible, the remaining passenger planes were also modified; first class and business class were canceled, all turned into economy class.
Almost every flight was fully booked before taking off; scenes of empty seats were now a thing of the past.
Because an empty seat meant a significant waste of aviation kerosene.
Yang Fan promptly stood up and walked to the boarding gate with Ling Shuiling.
The broadcast continued: "Dear passengers, flight DX9969 uses the D959 aircraft, developed and produced by Great Xia, the world’s most advanced passenger plane."
"D959 is equipped with a revolutionary Airflow Diversion System, a system possessing supernatural power that can save 36% of fuel consumption, greatly reducing flight costs..."
Ling Shuiling tugged her boyfriend’s sleeve, speaking with anticipation: "Finally, we can experience the new aircraft."
The new aircraft introduced by the broadcast was one of the numerous black technologies unveiled on New Year’s Eve.
This "Airflow Diversion System" made Great Xia’s civil aviation industry instantly outshine the world.
The core manufacturing material for this system was a second level Exotic Material from Celestial Mountain.
The New Year’s Eve special program had shown footage of the plane activating the Airflow Diversion System.
Even to the naked eye, a faint blue glow appeared in the air around the aircraft, with beautiful blue streaks trailing behind the turbofan engines.
The moment D959 debuted, stocks of the two major passenger plane manufacturers in Carmenia Federation and Southern Cross Alliance, originally giants in the global civil aviation industry, plummeted by more than half within three days.
For airlines, fuel costs are the largest portion of operating costs, typically exceeding one-third.
Reducing fuel consumption by 36% was enough to make the aircraft produced by the two giants lose competitiveness.
If it hadn’t been for the production capacity shortage of Great Xia National Aerospace Manufacturing Group, the two giants might have already gone bankrupt.
Listening to the broadcast, Yang Fan was slightly distracted.
The Celestial Mountain he brought to Great Xia had profoundly changed Great Xia, leaving the Western Hemisphere far behind.
Ling Shuiling tugged his sleeve again, showing a playful smile: "Your two high school classmates came back after hiding outside for more than ten minutes; they’re standing in line, not daring to lift their heads."
The apparently cordial yet actually humiliating words from the secretary earlier clearly left a significant psychological impact on them.
