Chapter 419: First Voyage
After the two planes came back, Gao Yuan immediately organized some of the company's executives to take a test flight.
The destination was from Hangzhou to Gudu City.
The flight time was about two and a half hours.
After taking Air Force One, a group of executives gave high praise.
The business volume of Yuanfang Group is getting bigger and bigger. It is too troublesome to charter a plane. It is much more convenient to take the company's private plane. These two planes represent the face of Yuanfang Group.
Gao Yuan also hired several pilots and teams at a high price to apply for domestic and foreign routes.
Professional things should be left to professionals.
After arriving in Gudu, Gao Yuan did not notify anyone and kept a low profile throughout the trip.
He came to Gudu just to test drive the plane, stroll around Gudu, and then take the private plane back the next day.
It was around five o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived in Gudu.
Several people took a private car and ate some special food in an authentic small restaurant in Gudu City.
An executive suggested, "Mr. Gao, how about we go to the Night City of the Ancient Capital tonight? I always see the Night City of the Ancient Capital online, but I haven't been there yet."
The Night City of the Ancient Capital is known as one of the five largest pedestrian streets in China, and it is crowded with tourists.
The daily flow of people is about hundreds of thousands.
"Sure! Anyway, I have nothing to do tonight, so let's go for a walk." Gao Yuan nodded.
I will return to Hangzhou tomorrow. I will rest in the Ancient Capital for one night today. It's still early, so it's okay to go out for a walk.
So the speed of several executives eating was obviously accelerated.
After finishing the meal, several people drove to the Night City of the Ancient Capital.
Before they arrived within three kilometers of the Night City, several executives regretted it. There were too many cars here, and they were blocked before they got close.
"Don't worry, it's still early at this time. The activities of the Night City of the Ancient Capital usually start at around seven o'clock." Gao Yuan said.
Gao Yuan has seen the situation of the Night City of the Ancient Capital many times on the Internet.
It's all antique buildings, a pedestrian street, and the whole street is 2,100 meters long.
If you walk fast from beginning to end, you can finish it in about 20 minutes.
The only surprise is that there are many free performances inside, and the layout and environment of the entire Night City are particularly well built.
Those free performances have attracted many tourists, and many places can be opened to take photos and post on WeChat Moments, so it has also attracted many people.
This is already a landmark building in the ancient capital.
Gao Yuan walked on the streets of Night City with a group of executives, attracting the attention of people around.
"That seems to be Mr. Gao!"
"It should be just a resemblance. Mr. Gao is a figure at the level of the richest man. Don't other richest men travel with a large crowd of people and hundreds of bodyguards around them?"
"That's right, how can Mr. Gao be so low-key."
"..."
Many people just thought they looked alike and took a few photos from a distance.
But some people were brave enough to walk in front of Gao Yuan, "Excuse me, are you Chairman Gao Yuan of Yuanfang Group?"
They eagerly wanted an answer.
"Yes, it's me!"
Gao Yuan nodded.
"Damn, it's really Mr. Gao! You didn't bring a bodyguard this time?"
A tourist was excited, "Mr. Gao, we are from the same hometown! I am also from Xu City, can I take a photo with you?"
As the tourist's excited voice spread, everyone around heard it.
"Fuck, you guessed wrong, that person is either a lookalike or Mr. Gao!"
"Mr. Gao is too low-key, I want to take a photo too."
"Brothers, I came here first, let me take a photo with Mr. Gao first."
"..."
In just a moment, with Gao Yuan as the center of the circle, at least five or six hundred people gathered around him.
Some people didn't know what was happening here, but they saw a lot of people gathered here, so they also came over and kept asking people around them, "Brother, what happened here?"
"Auntie, why are you crowded here? Are you distributing rice and eggs in front?"
As he kept asking, someone finally got impatient and told him, "What rice and eggs? It's Mr. Gao who is here!"
"Mr. Gao? Which Mr. Gao? A star? If you ask me, you are really boring. You are so excited about just a small star."
"What star? Mr. Gao, the richest man! Mr. Gao of Yuanfang Group!"
"What? Mr. Gao of Yuanfang Group? Brother, you should have told me earlier, I'm so excited, I can finally see Mr. Gao alive..."
"..."
Looking at more and more people rushing around, these executives panicked.
"Mr. Gao, the situation is a bit bad." An executive said, "With so many people, it's easy to have a stampede."
"Oh!"
Gao Yuan regretted it a little. He almost forgot his influence.
Gao Yuan is now a well-known figure in the country. Most Chinese people know his face.
Especially when he appears in a place with a large flow of people, it is easy to cause some commotion.
As for the bodyguards following Gao Yuan, they have formed a circle and blocked Gao Yuan. Although they are powerful, they are still a little powerless when facing such a crowd.
They are all ordinary people in the country and have not broken the law. They can't attack these people.
They can only use all their strength to stop them.
But surrounded by thousands of people, they seem insignificant.
"Don't squeeze, if you want to take a photo, let's take it slowly." Gao Yuan shouted loudly.
But the surroundings were too noisy and his words could not be heard at all.
At this time, Gao Yuan understood a sentence, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Sometimes being famous is not necessarily a good thing, it means there is no privacy.
Even if you go out to play, many people will take pictures, which may even cause a sensation and disturb your interest in playing.
Being too enthusiastic can also cause certain problems.
In the end, it was the staff of Night City who came forward and brought Gao Yuan and a group of executives out of the crowd.
"Hello, Mr. Gao, I am the general manager of the ancient city of Night City."
A middle-aged man walked in and greeted Gao Yuan enthusiastically, "Mr. Gao, you should say hello to us before you come to Night City."
When a distinguished guest of this level arrives, Yecheng must treat him well.
It is unlikely to block scenic spots, but they can provide sufficient security.
"I didn't want to bother you, but I didn't expect the fans to be so enthusiastic." Gao Yuan said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if there are dozens or hundreds of fans, but I didn't expect that Night City is too popular and there are too many tourists."
After knowing Gao Yuan's identity, hundreds of people came over in an instant.
After that, thousands more people arrived, making the surrounding area suffocating.
"To show our neglect, I wonder if Mr. Gao is free, let's have a meal together?"
The person in charge of Night City asked.
"Is there a leader?" Gao Yuan asked specifically.
"Well..."
The general manager of Night City didn't know how to answer.
He didn't show up just now, so he called the leader.
Today's Gao Yuan is not only an entrepreneur, but also the God of Wealth.
Wherever the God of Wealth goes, local leaders welcome him. If Gao Yuan can invest, it can create local employment.
"It's okay if you have a leader. To be honest, I'm only visiting the ancient capital for half a day and will leave early tomorrow morning." Gao Yuan said.
He came to the ancient city just to test the performance of the aircraft.
I don’t plan to stay in the ancient city for too long.
"Hahaha, Mr. Gao, it's just a meal, so I won't run out of time."
Just then, a man in his fifties walked in.
This is the boss of the ancient city.
They came to invite Gao Yuan in person. If Gao Yuan were not sensible, it would be a bit unkind.
"Hahaha, of course."
Gao Yuan smiled.
Half an hour later, Gao Yuan was invited to one of the most luxurious hotels in the ancient city.
This hotel is not open to the public and only entertains some prominent figures with status and influence.
During the dinner, cups were exchanged, glasses were exchanged, and inevitably at the end of the conversation, the boss of the ancient city and Gao Yuan talked about investment matters.
"The outstanding people in our ancient city have obvious advantages." He said, "First of all, it is the scientific research strength. The universities in the ancient city are second only to the capital and the Magic City, ranking among the top five in the country. This kind of talent advantage is unmatched by many places. of."
"In addition, the ancient city is still the face of the northwest. In terms of commodity prices and land prices, our ancient city is much lower than Hangzhou..."
He talked about the advantages of a bunch of ancient cities.
It is undeniable that these advantages are indeed very good, and Gao Yuan is also a little envious.
However, the industries that Gaoyuan should build now have almost been built, so we can't move Xudu City's Yuanfang City to the ancient capital, right?
With so much invested in Yuanfang, relocation is not easy and will cost a lot of money.
Furthermore, Lin Yuanchang would not agree with Gao Yuan doing this.
All in all, Gao Yuan has no such idea for the time being.
"The ancient capital city is indeed good." Gao Yuan praised it, "But Yuanfang Group's current investment layout has been perfected, and there should be no further investment in the short term."
The word investment is easy to say, but it requires a large amount of capital injection.
However, it is not good to refute others in person and not give them face.
Gao Yuan continued, "I can build a branch in Gudu City and plan to move Yuanfang Group's customer service and review center here. Is that okay?"
Douyin placed its domestic customer service and review center in Gudu City, which saved their company a lot of money.
Gao Yuan planned to follow suit and do the same.
There are many universities in ancient cities, many famous ones, as well as ordinary universities and some junior colleges.
Moving the customer service of Yuanfang Group and the review center of Youyou APP here can also solve many things.
The cost in Hangzhou is high, but the cost in the ancient capital can be reduced by at least about double.
The customer service and review center can provide employment to at least 10,000 people.
"Then thank you, Mr. Gao!" The boss of Ancient City nodded. Although it did not achieve the expected goal, it at least attracted investment.
Attracting 10,000 jobs is already a lot.
"On my side, I hope to contact you to open up the recruitment channels for colleges and universities in Gudu City." Gao Yuan also put forward his own request, "There are several 985 and 211 colleges in Gudu City. These colleges graduate a large number of students every year. Top students, our Yuanfang Group is currently short of talents.”
It would not be bad if we could attract some talents from the ancient city.
"no problem!"
The boss of Ancient City nodded, and at the same time changed his voice, "There are so many colleges and universities and graduates in Ancient City, I think Yuanfang Group might as well establish a scientific research institute in Ancient City."
"Large companies such as Warwick have established scientific research institutes here and cooperated with major universities in research and development. Why not Yuanfang Group also set up one?"
This is okay!
Gao Yuan nodded, "No problem!"
The most important thing for a company is R\u0026D and innovation.
Cooperating with universities can speed up research and development and transform the results of research and development as soon as possible.
Neither Xudu nor Hangzhou has such unique conditions as ancient cities.
"Okay, then Mr. Gao can stay in the ancient capital for one more day. Tomorrow, I will take you to visit the major universities in the ancient capital..."
…
The plan was disrupted again.
Gao Yuan could only postpone his return to Hangzhou for the third day.
The next day, under the leadership of the boss of Ancient City, he visited a number of universities in Ancient City.
We were even given special privileges to visit some very important showrooms.
The only requirement is that after entering the showroom, turn off your phone and do not take photos at will.
Under the leadership of a group of leaders, Gao Yuan broadened his horizons.
But the results are remarkable. Gao Yuan has signed cooperation agreements with several famous universities such as Gudu Jiaotong University and Gudu University of Technology, not only promising to recruit graduates from these universities, but also cooperating to establish the largest scientific research institute in Gudu.
After signing the contract, Gao Yuan doesn't have to worry about the rest.
Yuanfang Group has so many senior executives. When the scientific research institute is listed, any vice president can just come and attend the listing ceremony.
During this trip to the ancient capital, Gao Yuan only felt that he had made a small profit.
After answering Hang Cheng, Li Mengqing and others had their opinions.
"We agreed that we would go there on the same day and come back the next day. Last night, I was asked to stay alone in the empty room."
Li Mengqing said aggrievedly.
Gao Yuanjian went to Australia for several days, and shortly after returning home, he went to the ancient capital again.
They haven't slept with Gao Yuan in almost a week.
"Hahaha, I will definitely accompany you tonight."
Gao Yuan hugged Li Mengqing into his arms, turned on his phone and checked the hot searches.
When he appeared in the ancient capital of Night City, many people took photos and recorded it.
The video has hundreds of thousands or millions of likes.
Many netizens even outrageously called Dad Gao.
This was the treatment Ma's father used to receive, but now this name has fallen on Gao Yuan's head.
However, Gao Yuan didn't like this title very much. He posted a video of visiting the ancient city on the Internet that day, and included a copy below the video - I suddenly had many sons overnight. I'm really scared. What can I do? I'm afraid of the New Year. If I can’t afford red envelopes, everyone should just call me Mr. Gao.
After this video was posted, the comments section was abuzz again.
"What? Asking dad to give out red envelopes during the Chinese New Year? Dad Gao, you didn't give them to me last year. You must make up for it this year."
"My request is not too high. One thousand yuan per person in the comment section is not too much, right?"
"If I bark a few more times, can you give me more?"
