Incheon – Guangzhou – Doha – Paris – Nice – Monte Carlo – Nice – London – Incheon.
“What is this?”
The beggar opened his eyes wide and asked.
“What is it? It is our travel route.”
When I answered with a shrug, Heeyeon also intervened.
“Are we coming within this year?”
“huh. come. hahahaha.”
“Isn’t it true that our itinerary is 7 nights and 8 days?”
Heeyeon said again as if to confirm.
“huh.”
“But you say you go here?”
“huh. that’s right.”
“If you stop here, is there 2 days and 1 night in Monte Carlo?”
the criminal asked.
“ah. Why are you so clumsy?”
“huh?”
“Aren’t you going to take first class?”
“Oh.”
“Riding first class is not as easy as I thought. We were supposed to use Qatar Airways.”
“It did? Because I said it was the world’s No. 1 airline this time.”
“huh.”
“There aren’t that many routes that Qatar Airways operates first class.”
“ah.”
“Unfortunately, Qatar Airways does not operate first class in Incheon. I looked for an airport that operates first class from a nearby country to Doha (Qatar capital/Qatar Airways base).”
“So that’s why Guangzhou came out?”
Heeyeon said while checking the paper on which the destinations were written.
“huh. Unusually, it operates from Guangzhou to Doha?”
“There is nothing special. It is close to Guangzhou and Hong Kong. Macau is also close. There are already a lot of rich people in China, but they are even more concentrated there.”
“hmm. But when I found out, they said that they were there and then they weren’t there. So we should go quickly while we are there.”
“What if I’m not there?”
Heeyeon asked.
“hmm. Then I might have to go to New York to catch first class and then depart for Qatar.”
I replied with a wry smile.
“Well, from my point of view, it’s not that it doesn’t fit our channel concept at all. If you say, ‘I purposely came to New York to take first class!’, it’s something no one does.”
“ha ha ha.”
Heeyeon laughed at my words.
“It’s not about money, it’s about time. We are college students who have to move during the midterm exam period.”
“I know. There are really few people who are rich in money and rich in time.”
The beggar smiled bitterly.
“okay. Besides, he has poor stamina. So be prepared for a 30-hour round-trip flight.”
“Cheuk. 30 hours.”
Heeyeon said in a calm voice.
“Don’t just think of 30 hours as flight time, think of it as work time. After all, every time you get on a plane, you get a video!”
“okay. If you look at it that way, there is nothing you can’t do.”
“anyway.”
I started explaining the course again.
“I’ll take business class to Guangzhou, and from there take first class to Doha.”
Then Beomsu cried.
“what. Why is it business class to Guangzhou?”
“ha. you said First class is not on all flights. There is only business class to get there.”
“Right. I’m sorry.”
When Beomsu said this, Heeyeon burst into laughter.
“Why is he so funny? Have you ever flown in business class?”
“Oh, no.”
“Then why are you crying because you’re flying in business class?”
“Quack. I’m going to ride first class, so if you look at it by that standard, it’s regrettable.”
Beomsu laughed as well, scratching his head.
“I live knowing that I am grateful. It’s the first time in my life that I’m very excited to be in business class, but I’m sorry.”
“okay. okay. You are right.”
The criminal surrendered.
“Anyway, I’ll go to Guangzhou in business class and go to Doha, Qatar, in first class. And again, residence-type first class from Doha to Paris.”
“Residence type first class? Are the two different?”
“huh. different. The residence type is literally like a room.”
“oh.”
Heeyeon exclaimed.
“Just think of it as a hotel room floating in the sky.”
“wow. So, are the three of us going in at once?”
“no. You can invite other passengers, but you’ll have to buy all the tickets separately anyway. It seems that one person can buy a residence ticket and the other two people can buy regular first class tickets.”
“hmm. After that, we all gather together at the residence to shoot a video and play?”
Heeyeon asked.
“That’s it.”
That was my answer.
“good. Are you going to Paris to ride that residence?”
“yes. So, I’m going to take a French domestic flight to Nice. Then rent a car in Nice and drive into Monte Carlo.”
“Phew. It goes around a lot.”
It is worth saying this Paris is farther north than Nice, which is adjacent to Monte Carlo.
It’s like going up a long way from Doha, Qatar, taking pictures of Paris, and then coming back down.
“This is all for first-class and business-class experiences.”
When I said it, Beomsu shook his head.
“This is it. It looks completely luxurious, but if you look at it differently, it’s salty. I don’t know what.”
“joy. If you look at the price, I don’t think you’ll be salty, right?”
Heeyeon snorted.
And, with a nervous face, he asked me a question.
“So, how much is the airfare?”
“hmm.”
I took out my phone with a sad face.
Then I opened the Calculator app.
“First of all, the business fare to Guangzhou is 1.5 million won. Multiply by 3.”
“4.5 million won. It’s amazing already.”
“Already amazing. And 12 million won first class from Guangzhou to Doha times 3. 36 million won.”
“Help.”
Heeyeon made a loud noise.
“It was 4.5 million won, but it quickly added up to 40.5 million won. It’s like magic.”
Beomsu was still calm.
“Then from Doha to Paris, 23 million won for a residence seat multiplied by 13 million won for a regular first class seat 2. Then how much is it…”
I said this and tapped the calculator.
“It’s 49 million won.”
“Then, if we put it together…”
“joy. 100 million won missing 500,000 won? But now I have to take a domestic flight from Paris to Nice, right? If you add all of these together, it’s easily over 100 million. Whoa.”
I tried to talk calmly, but in the end I had to take a deep breath too.
Even just a few months ago, I was worried about the tuition for the next semester.
No matter how much property you have right now, if you go abroad once and it costs 100 million one way, you will have to breathe hard.
“Whoa. 100 million to go to Monte Carlo… Then does it cost that much to come?”
“no. When I come, business class from Nice to London is 1.5 million won multiplied by 3, and London to Incheon first class is 11 million won multiplied by 3.
“oh? Why is it so cheap when you come?”
“Because there is only one first class. And there are fewer transfers.”
“Hmm. Is it also Qatar Airways from London to Incheon?”
“no. Then, from the time I left, I went like that. Korean Air first class.”
“ah. Korean Air?”
“Anyway, isn’t Korean Air’s first class the standard for Koreans? I have to set this reference point so that I know whether it is good or bad when I take first class in another country.”
“okay. Content comes out well only when comparisons are made.”
Heeyeon nodded.
“hmm. Once you’ve been to Monte Carlo, the three first-class comparisons are automatic (Qatar is two)? Good?”
“By itself, what by itself! It costs 150 million.”
Heeyeon raised her voice after hearing Beomsu’s words.
“ha ha ha. Don’t mind the money.”
“why? Even if your property is 150 billion, is it bankruptcy if you do this 1,000 times?”
Heeyeon said.
However, seeing her smiling eyes, I wasn’t seriously worried.
“hey. How do you do this 1,000 times? On the contrary, hearing those words makes me think that I can do more.”
The criminal sighed and said.
“hahahaha. It’s not that reason, because if we film this and keep growing the channel, it will eventually bring us more than 100 million won.”
I said with a smile.
“wow. Will that day ever come?”
“I know. It’s 2.5 million, but if you shoot a video, you make between 3 and 5 million won. If you want to pay off the 40 million won first class ticket… .”
Heeyeon said.
“Is it easy to calculate like that? Didn’t you say that if you get 20 million subscribers, you’ll get paid first class?”
I asked.
“Ugh. It’s like this positive demon king.”
Heeyeon let out a sigh.
“Do it. A few months ago, I wouldn’t have believed it if we told you that since we were going to be 2 million, you could order at least 1 million won worth of wine.”
Beomsu sighed and said.
“okay. okay. to think positively. Aren’t you a decent 2.5 million YouTuber now?”
I read my colleagues and asked:
“Now, are you going to make it like this?”
“That’s right, what. You seem to have prepared well.”
Heeyeon said with a smile.
“no. But is there anything else I should think about?”
“Ew? What are you thinking?”
“Currently, Qatar Airways ranks first in the airline rankings, but if you look only at first class, there is another ranking.”
“okay? Where is it?”
“Etihad Airways. It’s there too.”
“That, is it?”
“And Singapore Airlines is also strong in the first class competition. So we have other options besides Qatar Airways.”
“Ah-oh. Why are you talking about such a thing?”
Heeyeon cried.
“ruler. ruler. Let’s see.”
Having said that, I spent about 10 minutes comparing the pros and cons of the three airlines.
“…so, overall, Qatar Airways is probably better.”
I said with a smile.
“Yes. That’s right.”
The beggar nodded.
“that’s right. however!”
Heeyeon raised her voice.
“huh.”
“Why did you ask this when you knew the conclusion would come out like this anyway? You just came to have a choice disorder!”
“I know. I quickly became a body that wants to fly first class on Etihad Airways!”
Beomsu also screamed at Heeyeon.
“Why what why? I was going to make a video.”
“Yes?”
My colleagues widened their eyes.
I calmly pressed the camera shutdown button.
“First of all, edit anything about our property… .”
I mumbled.
“Sigh. Are you creating content now?”
Heeyeon said.
“then? Even just planning a first-class air travel is pretty fun, isn’t it?”
“Is that why you gave us one more thing to think about?”
It was the criminal’s words.
“huh. It’s kind of like a vlog. But when I just finished explaining, the video is too dull. It’s also short.”
“It was.”
“Anyway, the only money we spent on this video was to recharge the cell phone battery, but it’s not going to get another 500,000 views. how is it? Can’t you just hear the sound of the money being drawn in real time?”
I smiled and asked my colleagues.
“That’s right. A lot of subscribers are really gangsters. How can you earn hundreds of thousands of won just by looking for flights?”
the criminal said
“It’s not just looking for flights, it’s looking for 150 million flights, though.”
Heeyeon smiled bitterly.
“okay. Something like that. criminal. Please edit.”
I smiled and held out the camera to Bum-soo.
“Could it be that you are going to vlog your Monte Carlo travel plans like this?”
“no. Because it will use a lot of personal connections.”
“A personal connection?”
“huh. That’s a bit open, right?”
Saying this, I made an international call.
Goh Goh-hyeok.
