Who would have thought that the private jet that once made Zhao Benshan out of the limelight has now become a hot potato, and no one dares to take over even if it is 5% off.
A few days ago, Uncle Benshan's youngest daughter Qiuqiu couldn't help but sigh in the live broadcast that her father couldn't afford to raise that private jet anymore, and no one wanted to discount it.
In 2010, in order to facilitate performances all over the country, Zhao Benshan directly took out 200 million yuan to buy a private jet from Canada, and named the plane "Benshan", Zhao Benshan also became the first star in the mainland to own a private jet, which caused a sensation in the country that year.
Everyone knows that Zhao Benshan has always been very low-key, and he definitely didn't buy a plane to show off his wealth, he decided after some careful consideration. More than 10 years ago, Zhao Benshan was still active on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and his Benshan Media Company also performed all over the country, many times he needed to take his apprentices to run around by plane, and the flight needed to be booked in advance, and there would be delays in case of special circumstances, which would bring trouble to the established itinerary, so Zhao Benshan had the idea of buying a plane. After this idea was proposed, it was unanimously approved by the apprentices, and everyone agreed that with private jets, the trip could be more convenient in the future. So Zhao Benshan spent a huge amount of 200 million yuan to buy a plane from Canada.
After the plane was bought, it was remodeled, and after the renovation, the cabin has 17 seats, a bar, a meeting room, and even fitness equipment. The attendants on the plane are also carefully selected, all of them are tall and sweet-looking, with an annual salary of up to 200,000 yuan.
Since there is an airplane, it is indeed much more convenient for Zhao Benshan and his apprentices to perform in other places, but after the news of Zhao Benshan's purchase of a private jet was reported by **, it attracted some infamy for Uncle Benshan, some people said that he had money to show off his wealth, and some people said that his money did not come from the right way. Even Wang Sicong, the brother of Wanda's son, also posted a post mocking Zhao Benshan for not being able to change the image of farmers if he bought a plane. However, there are also netizens who support Zhao Benshan, they left a message saying that Zhao Benshan's money was earned by himself, not by the wind, and he had the money to buy a private jet, just to improve travel efficiency, which is like people buying a car to travel.
Zhao Benshan can have his current achievements, completely self-made, he is an orphan, since he was a child, he has lived with the "blind second uncle" who lives by pulling erhu for food, in order to have something to eat, he followed the second uncle and also learned the ability to pull erhu. In the past few years, he has performed everywhere with the small troupe and learned to turn the Northeast two-person turn, which has become a stepping stone for him to make a fortune and laid a solid foundation for his future acting career.
With his superb acting skills, Zhao Benshan starred in the sketches "Falling the Three Strings" and "The Blind Man Watching the Lantern", which made Zhao Benshan famous in one fell swoop and became a mess in the Northeast. Among them, he and Pan Changjiang co-starred in "The Blind Man Watching the Lantern", which was performed more than 500 times in Shenyang, and the venue was full. Later, Zhao Benshan met Jiang Kun, Jiang Kun admired Zhao Benshan's talent, so he recommended Zhao Benshan and boarded the 1990 Spring Festival Gala, and since then he has started the road of the Spring Festival Gala for 21 consecutive years. He used the black earth flavor sketch to bring us countless laughs, and gradually, the program that people were most looking forward to in the Spring Festival Gala became Zhao Benshan's sketch, it can be said that in those years, Zhao Benshan became the soul of the Spring Festival Gala.
After becoming famous, Zhao Benshan began to get involved in business, he founded Benshan Media Company, and also invested in the establishment of "Liu Laogen Stage" all over the country, and opened the door widely, recruiting a large number of outstanding actors to become his apprentices.
At its peak, Zhao Benshan's company could make a profit of hundreds of millions a year. In order to facilitate performances all over the country and avoid the fatigue of traveling with his apprentices, Zhao Benshan bought a plane, which really played a great role in the first few years after he bought it.
However, in recent years, with Uncle Benshan's withdrawal from the Spring Festival Gala stage and some special circumstances, the performance business of Benshan Media Company has been greatly reduced, and Uncle Benshan and his apprentices do not have to run around the country often, so the plane is basically useless.
However, although the aircraft is rarely used, its cost has not decreased, but has increased. The plane needs to be parked at the airport, it costs more than 10,000 a day, and it costs more than 3 million a year, plus the salaries of pilots and flight attendants, as well as the cost of repair and maintenance, it will take more than 5 million a year, which may not be able to save for a lifetime for us ordinary people.
Recently, Zhao Benshan's daughter Qiuqiu complained in the live broadcast room, saying that it was too expensive to maintain an airplane and wanted to sell it at a 5% discount, but no one wanted it, so she could only lease it to a local airline to collect some rental fees, but compared with the cost of the aircraft, the rental fee charged was simply a drizzle, which has become the thing that Zhao Benshan regrets the most so far.
But I think that Uncle Benshan's private jet has at least played its role, because it has really made Zhao Benshan infinitely beautiful.
