Chapter 279: No Wonder the Rich Say They Can

On the road.

Jiang Wen was driving, Cheng Long sat in the co‑driver seat, and Lin Mo was in the back.

The three of them chatted idly.

When Lin Mo suddenly said he wanted to buy a Private Jet, the other two were taken aback.

Jiang Wen reacted the fastest; while driving, he laughed and pointed at Cheng Long, saying, "A Private Jet, huh? Looks like you've found an expert. See, our Long Ge—doesn't he have one? And not just one; I heard he has three, right?"

"Oh?"

Originally, Lin Mo wasn't that surprised to hear Long Shu owned a Private Jet, but three of them was a bit shocking.

Cheng Long laughed, waving his hand: "I've already flipped two of them. Can't afford them, can't afford them!"

Good fellow!

Even Cheng Long big brother says he can't afford them; that must cost a fortune, huh?

Then Cheng Long continued: "If someone tells me they want to buy a plane, I'll definitely advise them—absolutely, absolutely don't buy. But if it's you who wants to buy, then there's no problem at all!"

"Why's that?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

"Maintenance, parking, crew salaries, insurance—a whole mess of stuff. Every year, just my plane alone costs nearly twenty million, almost the budget of shooting a movie."

"Sss—" Jiang Wen, hearing that, almost slammed the brakes.

Even Lin Mo was taken aback; he had assumed a plane's upkeep was only a few million, but was surprised by how high it actually was.

"No wonder so many rich tycoons say they can't afford a plane; that's insanely money‑burning!" Jiang Wen couldn't help but let a curse slip.

He thought for a moment; he himself had many friends who once bought Private Jets, but later resold them because the expenses were too high.

But theirs were lightweight small jets, only the tens‑of‑millions kind.

As for Cheng Long big brother's plane, that was a two‑hundred‑million‑yuan splurge!

At the time it caused a stir in the circle.

Lin Mo, after hearing Cheng Long's words, asked further: "Long Shu, exactly how much does your plane cost?"

Cheng Long replied: "Over two hundred million!"

Two hundred million.

About twenty million a year…

By Lin Mo's net worth, it's actually not a huge figure.

No wonder Cheng Long says that if anyone else wants to buy a plane he'll definitely try to dissuade them, but with Lin Mo there's no need, because the guy really is rich.

Take British Duel as an example.

One hundred billion box office!

Add all the global channels—CDs, online streaming, and so on.

Lin Mo casually pulls in tens of billions.

"If you want to buy it, I'll connect you later!" Cheng Long continued.

"Alright, Long Shu, you're the expert; help me check it out!"

Lin Mo said with a smile.

At that moment, Jiang Wen also spoke: "Little brother, you've already decided? Really buying?"

Lin Mo smiled and nodded: "Buy it. It'll be convenient later; besides, it's not a big deal."

Hearing that, Cheng Long and Jiang Wen couldn't help but roll their eyes.

That Versailles Vibe is way too strong!

"Awesome, you're awesome!" Jiang Wen laughed, giving Lin Mo a thumbs‑up.

Cheng Long also laughed, shaking his head: "With Mo's net worth, not even one plane—two, three planes—he could afford them all."

Hearing Long Shu say that, Lin Mo also laughed: "Not that exaggerated~!"

In Yanjing.

Cheng Long big brother also has plenty of houses.

Here, in the car, Cheng Long big brother even mentioned that he once bought an eight‑room courtyard house.

"Long Shu, that's what a real tycoon looks like—an eight‑room courtyard!" Lin Mo teased.

"Exactly!"

Jiang Wen Laoge also laughed heartily.

But Cheng Long big brother waved his hand: "Back when I was looking at houses in Yanjing, I remember it was 1990, a courtyard house cost less than 500,000 yuan, a slightly larger one maybe 600‑700 thousand, and I didn't like it then—bathroom was outside, no heating…"

"As for now, the courtyard houses I bought, you'd need ten billion and still couldn't get them!"

When he said that, you could see Long Shu's smug little expression.

"Yeah, back then if I had money I'd have bought another courtyard house!" Jiang Wen Laoge also sighed.

At this point, Lin Mo suddenly said: "Big brother, do you know what my biggest impression was when I went to Xiang Jiang?"

"Huh?"

Lin Mo smiled and said: "You don't know, right? When Long Shu drove me and Re Ba, he kept pointing at a skyscraper every few streets, saying, 'Look, that building's tall, right? Beautiful, right? Mine!' He was so proud I could never copy that."

Saying that, he even mimicked Long Shu's manner and tone, making both of them laugh.

"Haha!"

Today, Lin Mo no longer stays at Jiang Wen Laoge's place.

He's only there because Cheng Long big brother dragged him over to live.

Besides his courtyard houses in Yanjing, he also has plenty of mansions.

In Cheng Long big brother's words: "Anyway, I don't live here often, so just treat it like a hotel; I also treat it as a hotel!"

"Little brother, Chen Laoshi and Ge Daye, Lao Feng and the others know you're here; they're all shouting to organize a night gathering, plus Cao Laoban, Zhong Jun'er and the rest, the big guys are making money with you, they're all grateful for you!"

"By then, San Ye will also come!"

Jiang Wen looked at Lin Mo and said.

"I have no problem; I've been in Yanjing these past few days, I and Long Shu still need to find a song, and we can't just casually mess up this Spring Festival Gala program." Lin Mo nodded.

"Exactly, the program needs to be well prepared."

Cheng Long nodded, indicating agreement.

Afterward, Jiang Wen chatted with the two of them for a few more sentences before leaving.

However.

What Lin Mo didn't know was.

Jiang Wen was in the car, calling Chen Daoming, Feng Xiaogang, and the Wang Family Brothers one by one.

"Yes, yes, that's settled then!"

By then, I'll give my younger brother a surprise!
