Two professional treasure hunters in New Mexico were killed by police gunshots, and the UCLA graduation ceremony was completely disrupted.
Naturally, Xiao Ran no longer had to give a speech on stage, but the honor of being an outstanding graduate remained.
As Philip said, right after graduation, UCla listed Xiao Ran as an outstanding alumni, fearing that he would run away.
After the school shooting, Xiao Ran was interviewed by the police again, and naturally there was nothing suspicious.
Not only that, the police also want to thank them.
Thanks to them for discovering the two gunmen in time and calling the police quickly, which prevented further casualties.
After this incident, the relationship between Xiao Ran and the professional treasure hunter in New Mexico has become deeper and deeper, and it has become a dead knot that cannot be untied.
In fact, he didn't care at all.
Of the New Mexico professional treasure hunters who went to Las Vegas last time, only two or three people died.
Moreover, these two or three people were seriously injured and were lying in the hospital in Las Vegas. What big waves could they cause?
If they were still unwilling to give up and wanted to take revenge after recovering, Xiao Ran would not mind sending them to hell to meet their friends.
It was already evening when we returned to the villa.
It wasn't until they walked into the house that the two beauties, who had been on tenterhooks, really felt relieved.
Then, they threw themselves on the sofa.
"I can't believe I just graduated."
"I never imagined that my student career would end in a school shooting."
Elaine said with emotion.
"Yeah, who would have thought of this situation today?"
"It's my turn to graduate next week. I hope everything goes well."
Fang Yufei continued with lingering fear.
Xiao Ran, who was sitting aside, said jokingly:
"No way, this is free America, shootings happen every day!"
"It's just that this time it's our turn to encounter a school shooting. Fortunately, everyone is safe."
"Hahaha"
Both beauties laughed.
After joking for a while, everyone was ready to go upstairs to take a shower, change clothes, etc.
After a day of hard work, the three of them were all sweaty and felt very uncomfortable.
At this moment, Elaine and Fang Yufei's cell phones rang one after another.
It was a call from Pierre and Aunt Lin, obviously coming to inquire about the situation.
As early as when the school shooting had just subsided, two parents had received the news and called to inquire.
The two parents felt relieved knowing that their daughter was safe and sound.
As a result, when Xiao Ran and the others returned home, they called again, obviously still a little worried.
Helpless, Elaine and Fang Yufei could only answer the phone and introduce the situation to their parents again.
Just as they were answering the phone, Xiao Ran also received a call from his mother.
When I heard that they had returned home safely, my mother felt relieved.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran went upstairs to take a shower.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour has passed.
Elaine and Fang Yufei had finished washing and went downstairs to the living room.
When they entered the living room, Xiao Ran was looking up something on the computer.
Seeing the two beauties coming in, he immediately waved.
"Elaine, Yufei, come here for a moment."
"I plan to buy a private jet and a medium-sized helicopter as means of air transportation."
"But I haven't decided what brand and model of aircraft to buy yet. I want to hear your opinions."
"ah!"
The two beauties exclaimed in surprise, both of them startled.
Immediately afterwards, they were beaming with excitement.
"You want to buy a private jet? And two of them at once. Isn't it too extravagant?"
"That's the top luxury product. A private jet costs tens of millions of dollars. Are you really willing to do it?"
As he said that, the two beauties came over, their steps were extremely brisk, and the fragrance was blowing.
They sat down next to Xiao Ran and looked at the laptop placed on the coffee table.
What appears on the computer screen is a Gulfstream G700 ultra-long-range business jet.
Looking at this blue and white private jet with smooth lines, the two beauties were instantly attracted.
"Wow! This private jet is so beautiful, much prettier than those huge commercial airliners."
"Indeed, this is like a handsome man in the sky, while those commercial airliners look very bloated."
The two beauties praised one after another.
Xiao Ran smiled softly and then continued:
"I saw several private jets, including Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault Falcon, etc., all of which are top-notch models."
"As for which model of private jet to buy, I haven't decided yet. I would like to ask your opinion."
The two beauties who woke up answered the question incorrectly.
"Why did you suddenly think of buying a private jet? This thing is too expensive."
"Nowadays, many countries are suspending flights. Even if you buy a private jet, it doesn't seem to be of much use, right?"
Fang Yufei asked curiously.
"Yes, Yu Fei is right. If you buy a private jet now, there is a high probability that it will just sit in the hangar and collect dust."
"The costs of leasing hangars, maintenance, parking spaces, and pilot wages add up to a lot of money!"
Elaine continued, also very surprised.
Xiao Ran smiled softly and then gave an explanation.
"Yes, private jets are indeed very expensive, and the cost of ownership is also high. They are far less cost-effective than flying on commercial airliners."
"However, I really have a reason to buy a private jet."
"Ah! What's the reason why I have to buy it?"
Elaine asked in surprise.
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued to explain:
"I had this idea when I was evacuating from Las Vegas, and I couldn't control it."
"We were lucky enough to rent three medium-sized helicopters in Las Vegas, so we were able to evacuate in time."
"What if I can't rent a helicopter? Then I'll be trapped in the Venetian Casino Hotel. It will undoubtedly be very dangerous."
"If we had our own helicopter at this time and could be on call, this problem wouldn't exist."
"If we encounter a similar situation again, we can evacuate faster."
Hearing this, the two beauties nodded.
"It's true. Under the circumstances, it was indeed safer to have our own helicopter."
What happened in Las Vegas is still fresh in their memories.
In such a critical moment, the sooner you evacuate, the better.
Compared with life safety, the money spent on purchasing a helicopter is nothing at all.
Anyway, Xiao Ran had plenty of money. He just bought two private jets, so how much money could he spend?
Next, Xiao Ran continued to introduce his thoughts.
"As for private business jets like the Gulfstream G700, they are actually more useful, especially under today's circumstances."
"With such a private business jet, we no longer need to take commercial airliners when we travel. It will undoubtedly be much safer."
"The current situation of total flight suspension is unsustainable. When flights resume, we can take a private jet back to China or to France."
"Even in the United States, when we go hunting for treasures in various places, such as New York and other places, we can also take a private jet, which is safer."
With his introduction, the eyes of the two beauties became brighter and brighter, and they became more and more excited.
"Indeed, even if navigation is restored, the current special situation may not end."
"Until then, owning a private jet will indeed be much safer."
"When traveling within the United States, there is no need to take the risk of taking a commercial airliner with many passengers."
Xiao Ran nodded and then continued:
"Since it's my own private jet, is it okay to bring some cargo with me on the flight?"
"After buying a private jet, I will find a way to obtain a flight permit to transport various treasures from the United States back to China, or transport treasures found from various places to Los Angeles."
"This will undoubtedly be much more convenient and faster. You can take off at any time, and you don't have to worry about whether you can get a cargo plane space."
"Another very important point is that buying a private jet can be tax deductible. I don't want to be robbed by the US tax bureau in vain."
"Hahaha"
Both beauties laughed.
"You are so cunning, but this is indeed a good way to avoid taxes."
“It’s convenient for you and you can pay a lot less tax, so why not do it!”
Xiao Ran nodded proudly.
"That's what I meant!"
In fact, he had another reason for buying a private jet, but he just didn't say it.
With long-distance private jets, it may be able to help those international students stranded in the United States and let some of them go home early.
Of the many Chinese students I met today, almost everyone was filled with fear and helplessness.
This touched him greatly and made him a little intolerable.
If he didn't have special powers that could change his destiny, he would definitely be in the same dilemma as them.
Among those Chinese students studying abroad, many are still friends. We have had drinks together and have a good relationship.
When conditions permit, it is appropriate to lend a hand to help them.
In view of this, Xiao Ran became more determined to buy a private jet sooner rather than later.
Next, he started discussing with the two beauties which model of private jet and helicopter to buy.
After some discussions, combined with the current special circumstances, they finally finalized the brands and models of the two private jets.
For a private long-range business jet, Xiao Ran chose the Gulfstream G700.
This private jet was just released and is currently the most advanced private jet with a maximum range of more than 13,000 kilometers, which is enough for use.
As for medium-sized helicopters, he chose the Bell 525 helicopter.
After confirming the model, Xiao Ran immediately called David and talked about purchasing a private jet.
Like Elaine and the others, David was also taken aback.
When he woke up, he was very excited again.
What man wouldn’t like a top luxury product like a private jet?
Even though these two private jets do not belong to him, David knows that he will be able to use them frequently in the future.
What's more, there are generous commissions to be earned, how can you not be happy?
After learning about the model of private jet Xiao Ran wanted to buy, David immediately got busy and started contacting relevant aircraft sellers.
