The sun was bright, and sitting in the car for too long made his eyes uncomfortable upon first contact with the sunlight. Gu Bai had to raise his hand to avoid the sun shining directly into his eyes.
Gu Yi immediately and sensibly drew out a black umbrella from the side, standing by Gu Bai's side and opened it.
Instantly, the dazzling sensation disappeared.
Subsequently, Principal Wang and Xu Beibei also slowly stepped out of the car.
Soon after, Gu Bai strode towards Eli Cox and others, with Gu Yi, the bodyguards, and accompanying personnel following a few steps behind Gu Bai.
"Dear Mr. Gu, welcome to the Hua Country headquarters of the Airbus Company. I am Eli Cox, the president of the Huaguo Region."
Eli Cox was dressed in a Versace suit with not the slightest hint of a wrinkle, and his gaze was filled with respect. It should be noted that this was his only custom-made high-end suit, costing over 100,000 Euros, which he was usually reluctant to wear. Today, he donned it just to meet with Gu Bai, proving Eli Cox's emphasis on Gu Bai.
In contrast, Gu Bai wore a gray casual outfit, impossible to discern the brand, appearing exceptionally laid-back.
But Eli Cox knew that even if Gu Bai appeared in pajamas, his value was definitely not insignificant.
Faced with Eli Cox's greeting, Gu Bai also politely smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Eli, sorry to keep you waiting."
For the scheduled time, Gu Bai was indeed more than ten minutes late, but Westerners wouldn't alleviate the awkwardness as the Hua people would with phrases like, "We just arrived too." However, what Eli Cox said made Gu Bai more comfortable.
"Mr. Gu Bai, you're joking. You are our most esteemed guest here at Airbus. Waiting for you is our duty."
Hearing Eli Cox's words, Gu Bai nodded in satisfaction.
Gu Bai was not surprised by Eli Cox's attitude. Perhaps the title of President of the Huaguo Region of the Airbus Company was significant, but in his eyes, it was just so-so. Even if it were the president of the Airbus headquarters here today, they would treat him with utmost respect.
It's a very simple reason; they are just a high-level employee, only here to serve the shareholders. If they affect the interests of the shareholders, they can be easily removed—that is capitalism.
At the gate, Gu Bai introduced Xu Beibei and Principal Wang to Eli Cox, and after a few polite exchanges, Eli Cox invited, "Mr. Gu, shall we go inside first? Our staff has prepared the grandest welcome ceremony."
Thinking of this, Gu Bai immediately refused, saying, "Mr. Eli, I came today just to check on the plane I've ordered. I don't like too many formalities affecting my mood. I hope you can understand?"
"Of course! Mr. Gu, I completely understand. Since you don't like it, we'll skip this part. Next, I'll personally introduce you to the plane we customized specifically for you at Airbus Company."
"Thank you very much."
After some polite exchanges, Eli Cox walked ahead to lead the way.
Under Eli Cox's guidance, they passed through numerous technologically advanced gates and finally arrived at the Airbus Company's tarmac.
In the vast tarmac, staff were coming and going. Upon seeing Eli Cox, they all greeted him respectfully, while Eli Cox casually returned a greeting with an expression of impatience.
A few minutes later, Eli Cox led Gu Bai and others to a plane covered by a huge curtain.
"Mr. Gu, this is the A380 you ordered from our company."
Eli Cox said with a face full of pride, smiling at Gu Bai.
"Could you remove the curtain?"
Gu Bai was somewhat speechless. Eli Cox seemed to have some sort of issue, covering such a large curtain over it. Apart from being able to vaguely see the outline of the plane, what could he see?
Upon hearing Gu Bai's request, Eli Cox couldn't help but blush, having basked in pride and made such a low-level mistake. He quickly apologized to Gu Bai and instructed all the staff on the tarmac, "Come over and help Mr. Gu remove the sunshade!"
All staff put down what they were doing and hurried over.
When the gigantic curtain was removed, this behemoth finally revealed its true appearance.
Looking at the A380 in front of him, Gu Bai showed a satisfied expression in his eyes.
Eli Cox also noticed Gu Bai's expression at the first moment and smiled as he explained to Gu Bai, "The A380, when put into production by our Airbus, was the largest passenger aircraft in capacity, with a total length of 73 meters, a height of 24 meters, and a wingspan of 79.8 meters. However, despite such a large size, its total empty weight is only 288,400 kilograms. It is precisely for this reason that the maximum range of the A380 can reach 15,000 kilometers, allowing it to reach any corner of the earth under normal circumstances."
Gu Bai didn't listen carefully to Eli Cox's words but pointed to the large italic character "Gu" on the fuselage and asked, "Does this 'Gu' character have any meaning?"
"It's like this, Mr. Gu. Every customer who orders a private jet from our Airbus Company is unique, especially you. You are the second person in history to order an A380 from us. The first was Prince Alwaleed, whose plane was named A380-Custom. Similarly, your aircraft has been named A380-Gu by our designers. Of course, if you are not satisfied, we will remove these at the first opportunity, and you can personally name it."
