Chapter 453 The Dead of Winter
The plane cruised at an altitude of 13,000 meters.
Sitting in a massage chair, Nangong Tian's excitement hadn't faded.
Next to her.
Jiang Yu added, "Yeah, it's flying so high, and it's so smooth. My ears feel much better, without all the buzzing."
Su Yehao was watching TV.
It was the first season of *Armed Reaction*, released last year. The scenes were similar to what he usually saw in Hong Kong, giving him a strong sense of immersion.
It was a small LCD TV.
The picture quality was much clearer than ordinary televisions. The technology wasn’t widely available yet, so he had paid to have it custom-made from a Japanese manufacturer.
This reminded him that he could try to get Meidi Group involved in the LCD TV business. Although it didn't have any advantages in this area, it could acquire an existing company and temporarily focus on procurement and assembly. The market potential was huge.
Hearing the two girls chattering, Su Yehao smiled and said:
"It cost more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, it would be strange if it wasn't comfortable. The cabin is pressurized, and the flight altitude is higher than ordinary commercial airliners. It can climb up to 16,000 meters. At that altitude, the influence of air currents is minimal."
Jiang Yu continued, "It's a shame there's no bed. It's always been my dream to lie down and sleep on a plane."
"…To be honest, I also wish there was a bed on the plane, but whether it would be used for sleeping is hard to say. I guess you'd need to buy a Boeing 747-sized plane for that. The price is a bit expensive, and the value for money isn't great, so I'm not considering it for now."
Su Yehao finished teasing them quietly.
Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu both gently scoffed, understanding what he meant.
Although not on this aircraft, named "/*
"What old alley? This is called a hutong. In ancient times, officials lived here. It was originally a wealthy area, and the prices are getting higher and higher."
Su Yehao's eyelids were drooping, and he just wanted to wash up and sleep.
After helping Jiang Yu settle in next door, letting her share a room with Linda Yun tonight, he went to greet the bodyguards and told them to turn on the air conditioning.
One of the bodyguards sounded surprised, seemingly just realizing that the air conditioner also had a heating function. This wasn't useful in Hong Kong, where most air conditioners were only for cooling.
The Sino-Western-style courtyard house not only had thick walls, but the windows were also triple-paned.
Turning on the air conditioning had some effect, at least. Before going to bed, he thought about staying in a hotel instead. After a long time, he finally felt a little warmth and drifted off to sleep...
The next morning.
He boiled water to brush his teeth and wash his face.
It was a sunny day, and the sun felt warm on his skin.
This disappointed Jiang Yu, who wanted to see snow. She could only wear her down jacket and play with some snow in the shady corners of the courtyard.
It was almost Chinese New Year, and children were playing with firecrackers in the hutong. Some people were also drying cured meat, and the smell could be detected from afar, creating a strong sense of everyday life.
The little girl, who had lived in the south since she was a child, had red cheeks from the cold.
Jiang Yu was the same, her hands were burning from playing with snow, but she was having a great time.
They left the house after seven in the morning, ate xiaolongbao (small steamed buns) and soy milk, and shortly after eight o'clock, Chu Jun and Leibusi arrived again.
They entered the house.
Chu Jun said in surprise, "Wow! There's no heating or kang (heated brick bed) in the house. How did you guys sleep last night?"
Su Yehao pointed to the air conditioner and said helplessly, "We're probably going back tomorrow, so it's not worth turning on the heating now. I slept pretty well last night. If it doesn't work out, we'll stay in a hotel tonight."
Chu Jun nodded and said, "Luckily, it hasn't been too cold these past few days. It was our oversight. I was dizzy last night and didn't even notice."
Su Yehao waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.
While eating breakfast, Su Yehao asked the little girl and Jiang Yu, and they agreed to spend today sightseeing in the city and go to the Great Wall tomorrow.
If they were interested, they could also find a place to soak in a hot spring. Anyway, the plane was parked at the airport, and they could leave whenever they wanted, making travel even more convenient than before.
The two girls were excited and went out with the bodyguards to explore the streets and alleys.
Su Yehao and the others sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and enjoying the sun. He felt like he was missing some melon seeds and peanuts.
Leibusi, trying to start a conversation, asked with a smile, "President Su, are you really planning to invest in Academician Ni Danan's research? It's going to be a bit difficult to compete with companies like Microsoft and Lianxiang..."
