He has invested his savings of more than 2.6 million yuan (S$518,000) into the project that began with a toy model of an Airbus 320 shrunken to one-eightieth its original size.
maybe he could have invested some of that money to flight lessons instead
Oh, come on.
To be honest I smiled at this after remembering how the news reporters got fooled into saying it, it was so obvious too.
Well, you know what they say - if you can't pursue your dreams, invest five hundred thousand dollars of your savings into a diner based around your hopes and dreams!
The homemade Airbus will not be flying any time soon. Mr Zhu has decided to turn it into a diner.
Okay, now I am less concerned after reading that "He used 60 tonnes of steel."
I guess he either never intended it to fly or quickly realized that actual airworthy materials are a lot more expensive and require a lot more care when constructing. But this is still impressive considering it started as a giant hobby project.
Sometimes you have to start something to realize how impractical and difficult it really is.
Five fellow aircraft enthusiasts-cum-labourers have helped speed the project along.
Reading the title I thought this guy was gonna be like that one Chinese farmer who built his own helicopter, but no. This motherfucker just said, "screw logic and reason" and build a replica of an Airbus. That's some next level of "no fucks given"
This means y'all should get in the garlic business
Theres a documentary on netflix about the American garlic business and the shady shit that goes down in the Chinese garlic places. Like slave labour etc
As mentioned by Fulcrum, the garlic business is shady asf.
