After a Boeing landed and left the runway, the Gulfstream G650 was allowed to enter the runway.
After taxiing into the runway at the end of the runway, the Gulfstream rapidly accelerated on the runway against the sun. The people on the plane suddenly felt a clear sense of being pushed back.
Then the nose of the plane lifted slightly, and the plane jumped into the sky lightly.
From Sanshan to Hong Kong, it only took about two hours. Because the Gulfstream G650 was equipped with two Rolls-Royce engines, its top speed was Mach 0.925, which was much faster than the average commercial plane. Therefore, the whole flight time was shorter.
About 20 minutes after takeoff, the plane climbed to a cruising altitude of 41000 feet. At this altitude, they could avoid most of the crowded routes and bad weather.
Therefore, the whole flight process was quite stable, as Captain Liu An said before takeoff.
The cruising time was less than an hour before the plane began to slowly descend again.
When the plane landed smoothly on the runway of Hong Kong International Airport, the sun in the west of the airport was still high above the sea. Sitting in the cabin, they could see the sparkling sea. In fact, it was just a bay, and Zhuhai was on the opposite side.
The Gulfstream G650 slowly entered the tarmac through the taxiway. It was far away from the busy parking space next to the terminal building, so it felt a little quiet. The only thing that matched the busy airport of Hong Kong was the almost continuous take-off and landing of various types of planes on the distant runway.
The sound of the plane's engine was rapidly decreasing. After the car was shut down, Captain Liu An walked out of the cockpit first. He handed the following work to Captain Zheng Daming, who was the co-pilot, to complete.
"Boss Xia!" Liu An went straight to Xia Ruofei and greeted him.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "The flight was good. It was very stable throughout the whole journey!"
"Thank you!" Liu An said, "I hope you have a good time in Hong Kong!"
At this time, the stewardess had opened the cabin door and lowered the gangway. Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Then we'll go first! Captain Liu, I hope you have a good time in the next few days! "
"We're at your service at any time!" Liu An said.
He led the flight crew to send Xia Ruofei and the others off the plane.
There were already three cars parked on the tarmac. One of them was a small refrigerated van, the other was a Mercedes-Benz Vitus luxury business car, and the third one made Pang Hao and the others' eyes light up. It was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and from the thick body of the car, it should be a custom-made bulletproof model.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows because he had already seen Ma Xiong standing beside the car. Ma Zhiming and his wife, as well as their daughter, Huanhuan, were beside Ma Xiong. In addition, Liu Qian was also in the line of welcome.
In fact, this Rolls-Royce Phantom was one of Ma Xiong's cars. It was also a limited edition. There were only two of them in Hong Kong and the cost was over 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Although the mass-produced Phantom on the market was also a luxury car among luxury cars, compared with Ma Xiong's limited-edition bulletproof Phantom, it paled in comparison.
"Uncle Xia!"
Huanhuan was the first to show an extremely joyful expression and rushed to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei also let go of the suitcase, squatted down and opened his arms. Huanhuan suddenly jumped into his arms.
"Huanhuan has grown taller!" Xia Ruofei smiled and scratched her nose.
Huanhuan's porcelain-like face showed an innocent smile and said proudly, "Yes! I'm already in primary school! "
Although she hadn't met Xia Ruofei many times, she didn't feel unfamiliar with him at all.
Before the age of four, Huanhuan lived in her own world. She had almost no reaction to external stimuli and was classified as a severe autism patient.
Xia Ruofei's appearance seemed to have opened a crack in that gloomy world. The light from the outside world seeped in, and Huanhuan walked out completely.
To her, this was like a rebirth in a sense. It was Xia Ruofei who brought her out of her lonely world. Xia Ruofei was also the first person she saw when she walked out of this world. Therefore, she had a natural closeness to Xia Ruofei from the beginning, and this closeness didn't drift away with the passage of time.
It could be said that Xia Ruofei's special position in Huanhuan's heart was, in a sense, incomparable to Ma Zhiming and his wife. Of course, these were two completely different feelings and couldn't be compared.
In fact, Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin were both happy and envious when they saw Huanhuan and Xia Ruofei being so close.
Ma Xiong also greeted him with a smile.
Xia Ruofei easily carried Huanhuan with one hand and dragged the suitcase with the other.
"Mr. Ma, why did you come to the airport in person? As a junior, I can't afford to! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Ma Xiong laughed heartily and said, "Xia Sheng is our Ma Family's benefactor. Of course, I have to welcome him personally!"
Then, Ma Xiong pointed at the plane behind Xia Ruofei and asked with a smile, "This plane is not bad, right? Xia Sheng, you should have bought a private jet a long time ago. That's what suits your status! "
Ma Xiong's private plane was also a Gulfstream G650. In fact, many rich people in the world preferred the Gulfstream series of business jets. When he saw the Taoyuan Company's logo on the plane, he naturally thought that Xia Ruofei had bought it recently.
Xia Ruofei didn't explain much and said, "It's indeed very good! Mr. Ma, let me introduce you to our company's elites! "
Ma Xiong said with a smile, "President Feng, we're old acquaintances!"
"Hello, Chairman Ma! We meet again! "Feng Jing said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei introduced Dong Yun and Pang Hao one by one. Ma Xiong naturally welcomed the two with a warm attitude.
Then, Xia Ruofei asked again, "Oh right, Mr. Ma, all the auction items have been transported. Are you ready to receive them?"
Ma Xiong said, "Everything is ready!"
Ma Zhiming waved his hand and the refrigerated van immediately reversed. A few staff members got out of the van and walked up quickly.
Xia Ruofei signaled Liu An to bring a few people to the back cabin to get the items. Ma Zhiming also boarded the plane and supervised from the side.
Although the auction items brought by Xia Ruofei were priceless, they weren't very big. A few big boxes were moved in a short time and were all placed in the refrigerated van.
Ma Xiong said, "Xia Sheng, we also invited the best security company in Hong Kong. They sent five cars and dozens of elites to wait outside the airport. They are responsible for escorting this batch of auction items!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Thank you for your efforts! Mr. Ma, these auction items are also sent to the hotel, right? Then let's go with the motorcade! "
This auction was arranged at the Hengfeng Jiahua Flagship Hotel in Hong Kong. Xia Ruofei and the others were also arranged to stay there, so the cars should be going the same way.
Xia Ruofei also wanted to be as close to these auction items as possible. It wasn't that he didn't trust the guards hired by Ma Xiong, but there was always a 'what if'. With Xia Ruofei's current cultivation, as long as he was in the motorcade, then this' what if 'would definitely not exist.
"Okay! Let's talk in the car! " Ma Xiong said, "The hotel has been arranged. After you arrive, you can rest for a while. I will be the host tonight. I also invited a few old friends in Hong Kong to accompany me. Xia Sheng, Manager Feng, and the two directors, you must honor me with your presence!"
"We definitely wouldn't dare to refuse Mr. Ma's hospitality!" Xia Ruofei joked.
"Come, Xia Sheng, please get in the car!" Ma Xiong said with a laugh.
Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong sat in the extended version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Little Huanhuan naturally wanted to stay with Xia Ruofei, and Ma Xiong also doted on this granddaughter very much, so she also got in the extended Phantom.
Ma Zhiming personally sat in the refrigerated van to escort the car, while Tian Huixin took Feng Jing, Dong Yun, Pang Hao, and Liu Qian, who came to pick them up, and sat in the Mercedes-Benz Vitus commercial car.
The three cars drove out of the restricted area of the airport in a single file. Outside, five bulletproof cars lined up in a row. Sitting in the cars were burly men in black suits and sunglasses, with cold expressions.
When the motorcade drove out, the five cars immediately started. One of them opened the road in front, two of them protected the flanks, and two of them covered the back, forming a larger motorcade. They drove out of the airport and headed in the direction of Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel.
The accident that Xia Ruofei was worried about didn't happen. The motorcade arrived at Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel smoothly. The auction items were immediately taken out of the car and sent upstairs by the elevator.
In the magnificent hotel lobby, promotional materials for tomorrow's auction could be seen everywhere, including brochures that could be taken away and read at will. There were also signs and posters in eye-catching places. From time to time, there would be well-dressed guests stopping in front of these posters. There were also people constantly taking away brochures from the shelves. They seemed to be the guests who would be participating in tomorrow's auction.
Ma Xiong said with a smile, "Xia Sheng, I have already told the hotel in advance to stop accepting reservations for conferences and large-scale events three days ago, so as not to affect tomorrow's auction."
For a high-end hotel like Hengfeng Jiahua, there were several large and small conference halls and banquet halls. Usually, there were almost no interruptions in the orders for various conferences and events. In order to avoid a situation where many events would be held at the same time, Ma Xiong directly cleared the venue in advance.
Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. Ma, in this way, your hotel's loss is not small!"
"Haha! A little bit of money is not enough! " Ma Xiong said. "There are a lot of guests from all over the world these days, and the hotel's occupancy rate has increased a lot compared to the same period last year. This is all because of the auction! Therefore, there is no such thing as a loss or a loss! "
Although Ma Xiong said that, Xia Ruofei still said, "You are very considerate!"
He knew that even in the off-season, Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel's occupancy rate wouldn't be low. For the hotel, missing a few events was a real loss.
"Let's not talk about this …" Ma Xiong waved his hand and said, "Xia Sheng, I have an afternoon tea appointment with Director Guo, so I will leave first! Zhiming and the others will arrange everything. Let's meet at dinner tonight! "
"Okay, you go ahead!" Xia Ruofei said immediately.
Ma Xiong's schedule was usually very full. He specially went to the airport to greet him, which made Xia Ruofei feel that it was troublesome.
After Ma Xiong left, Ma Zhiming and his wife took Xia Ruofei and the others to the presidential suite on the top floor in the private elevator.
This was also the standard for the Ma Family to receive Xia Ruofei. As long as Xia Ruofei stayed in any hotel under Hengfeng, the best room would be reserved for him. Hengfeng Jiahua was a high-end sub-brand under Hengfeng Hotel Group, so the best room was naturally the presidential suite on the top floor.
Pang Hao had a feeling of dizziness since the flight on Sanshan Mountain.
A private jet worth hundreds of millions, a super rich person from Hong Kong personally picking him up at the tarmac, a luxurious presidential suite …
Pang Hao was also a company executive. In the past two years, he had seen a lot of things with Xia Ruofei, but he still felt like Granny Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
The large boxes of auction items brought by Xia Ruofei had been sent to the presidential suite in advance.
Ma Zhiming arranged for people to renovate an attendant's bedroom in the presidential suite in advance, emptying everything inside, and then placing two huge freezers to store these precious auction items.
"Xia Sheng, everything is here. You can check it!" Ma Zhiming took Xia Ruofei directly to the room where the auction items were placed.
Xia Ruofei scanned with his mental strength and knew that the items had not been touched. He used his mental strength to leave a faint imprint on each box. If the box had been opened by someone, he would have sensed it.
And this mental strength imprint, not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators might not be able to detect it. Therefore, it was basically impossible to say that someone could avoid the mental strength imprint and secretly open the box to steal things.
If someone really had this ability, they wouldn't be interested in the things in the box.
In the eyes of ordinary people, things like the best truffles and the best abalones were simply priceless, but in the eyes of cultivators, perhaps only a few old ginseng had some value. It could barely play a role in concocting spiritual medicine, but this value was relative. In fact, its value was very limited. After all, it wasn't spiritual grass or spiritual medicine.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "No need to check it! How can I not trust you? "
"Thank you for your trust, Xia Sheng!" Ma Zhiming said.
He had been keeping an eye on this batch of boxes the whole time, so he was naturally confident that there wouldn't be any problems such as being swapped. However, his confidence was his own business. This was something worth more than 100 million yuan. He was very touched and happy that Xia Ruofei trusted him so much.
Ma Zhiming and his wife knew that Xia Ruofei and his team must have something else to do, so after leaving Pang Hao and the others' room cards, they left with Huanhuan first.
Huanhuan was naturally very reluctant, but she was much more sensible than before. Tian Huixin told her that Uncle Xia Ruofei still had something to do, and that she would be able to see him again at dinner. She didn't act coquettishly anymore and obediently waved goodbye to Xia Ruofei with her parents.
After Ma Zhiming and his family left, Xia Ruofei took Feng Jing and the others to the small conference room of the presidential suite. They wanted to take advantage of this time to have a short meeting.
