Chapter 698
To show how wealthy he was, Feng Yu had to take care of many details . For instance, a super tycoon would never take the plane together with others .

Many tycoons in the US have their own private jets . But this was not possible in China . The Fu Family and Li family also have their private jets . But their planes were not suitable to fly long distances .
So, Feng Yu decided to charter a flight!
……
“What the hell are you thinking? Even if you are going to the US, is there a need to charter a flight? You have too much money until you don’t know how to spend it?” Hou Haitao grumbled .
“Just tell me if you can help me or not . This is very important . I am going to meet an important client . In the US, public image is vital . This is also to show them our financial strength . ” Feng Yu replied .
“Then just go and charter a flight . Why are you looking for me? Are you trying to ask me to help you get a discount?” Hou Haitao looked at Feng Yu speechless . How many people are you bringing to the US? Are you really going to charter a flight?
“How do you know? I want a plane with the biggest first-class section . Also, I need to meet with all the crew first . I need to pass some instructions to them . ”
Hou Haitao looked at Feng Yu warily . “Are you thinking of doing bad things? What instructions are you going to give them? You also do not know how to fly a plane!”
“It is business-related . I cannot tell you everything . Those foreigners are all very arrogant . They might find fault over the smallest detail and demand harsh conditions . Or maybe our conversations on the plane are a leak by the crew?” Feng Yu starts to talk nonsenses . He only wants to ask the crew to help him put on a show .
“You always have all sort of reasons . I will help you ask around . ”

“Don’t just ask . You must make sure this matter is settled . This is very important to me! It is about my ‘face . ’ ”
Hou Haitao stared at Feng Yu angrily . “I knew it . What you just said is all rubbish! You only want to look good in front of others!”
“Just hurry up . I am waiting . It would be best if the flight is scheduled tomorrow morning . ”
Hou Haitao contacted a leader of Beijing Capital Airlines and told him about Feng Yu’s request . Feng Yu wants to charter a plane with a lot of first-class seats, from Beijing to New York . Preferably departing tomorrow morning .
Huh? Charter a flight?
The leader of Beijing Capital Airlines was stunned . China’s top officials did have personal planes when they were on official duties . Some travel agencies do book out all the economy seats for their clients . But he has never heard of anyone chartering the whole flight for a business trip! And he still requests for a plane with the most first-class seats!
“Old Hou, if the whole flight is chartered, we have to include the ticket prices for every seat on the plane . This will be an insane amount . ”
Hou Haitao glanced at Feng Yu and then said: “Stop bullshitting me . Is your tickets from Beijing to New York selling well? Give me a discount . I will tell him to use your airlines when his company’s staff goes on business trips . ”
The airline companies were now operating as private companies . The tickets were already discounted as the planes were always not full . Although Hou Haitao kept saying Feng Yu was wasting his money, he still tries to help him get a discount .

“Ok, then . I will give you a 15% discount . Which company is this? How come he needs to charter a flight?”
“Feng Yu’s company . ”
“Feng Yu? Which Feng Yu?”
“Who did you buy your Soviet Union planes from?” Hou Haitao reminded him .
“That Feng Yu from Tai Hua Trading?”
“What do you think? Other than this, Feng Yu, who else can make me call you? Ok . I will leave everything to you . Let’s meet up in the afternoon . I have something else to discuss with you . ”
……
“Mr . Feng, what did you say? You have chartered a flight to New York?” Victor was shocked . How rich was Feng Yu? Was there a need to charter a flight when going overseas?
“Our aviation security is quite strict here . I had wanted to buy a private plane as I do not like to travel with strangers . This is why I charter a flight every time I travel . Anyway, it does not cost much . ” Feng Yu casually replied .
Chartering a plane does not cost much? Even if the living expenses in China was much lower than the US, but the air tickets were much more expensive compared to the US . The was an extravagant behavior, and it was still a long-distance flight!

“Mr . Feng, please use the special entrance over here . ” A stewardess leads them over to a special entrance at the airport .
The row of bodyguards walked over and went up the plane to make a security check, before letting Feng Yu and Victor enter the plane . Another group of people boarded the plane and were seated at the back .
“Mr . Victor, there is coffee, cigar, wine, cigarettes on board . If you need anything, just let the stewardess know . ”
“Oh, ok . I will . ” Victor nodded .
“Mr . Feng, everyone is on board, and we can leave anytime . ” A man in pilot uniform walked over and reported .
“Let’s go . ” Feng Yu nodded . He pretended to be familiar with all these operations .
The plane took off, and the stewardess walked over: “Mr . Feng, is it as usual?”
Feng Yu nodded . The stewardess poured a cup of tea for Feng Yu and then turn to Victor . “Sir, what would you like?”
“Coffee . ”
This was an eye-opener for Victor . This was a real tycoon . Feng Yu must have been chartering flights when he travels . Even the stewardess does not need to ask and knows what he wants . Also, Feng Yu was able to get the passports for so many people within a short time . This shows how influential Feng Yu was .
For many years, Victor felt proud in China because he was American . His country was powerful, and he was rich . But after today, he dare not to be arrogant and proud in China . China was a mysterious country . Who knew that there was someone so rich and influential in China .
“Mr . Victor . It is boring . Shall we play poker?” Feng Yu asked .
“Poker? Our rules should be different from China . ” Victor hesitated . But the flight was more than 10 hours, and he got nothing to do .
“How about BlackJack? The rules should be the same . ” Feng Yu laughed and waved his hand . A man wearing a dealer uniform walked over . The feature of a dealer’s uniform was no pockets .
Victor frowned . Who brings a dealer along when traveling? This Feng Yu likes to gamble?
“Mr . Victor, it would be boring if we are playing Blackjack without any bets . ” Feng Yu smiled and looked at Victor .
Victor had been to Las Vegas a few times and likes to gamble . But he knew his bet was nothing compared to Feng Yu .
“Mr . Feng, I do not have much money with me . ”
“It’s fine . We are just playing for fun . How about 400 USD per bet? I will be the banker . If your men are interested, they can also join in . ” Feng Yu said . He suggested 400 USD per bet was because Blackjack’s payout has 1 . 25 times, 1 . 5 times and double . It will be easier to calculate if it was 400 USD .
400 USD? This was not consider a large amount and Victor could afford it . He nodded, but he did not ask his assistant to join . He felt Feng Yu was only being courteous and did not really mean it when he said to ask his assistant to join .
“Ok . Let’s play a few games for fun . ”
