Next time you're hungry out on the golf course, just have your helicopter deliver you some wontons. That's what a Beijing CEO did last Sunday.

According to Xiaoshan Huang, a noted Chinese environmentalist who was playing golf at a course outside Beijing, "a helicopter landed in front of me on the golf course to deliver food to a boss who had gotten hungry."

Chinese netizens have apparently identified the "boss" as the director of the Hongfu Group,a conglomerate that includes building materials and real-estate development companies. Also identified with him was a party secretary of a nearby village.

"Boss, the wontons you ordered are here!"

Weibo users Compare Village "Schoolbus" with Helicopter Transport

-Weibo User Shi Pu

"On one side you have Beijing Hongfu Group Director, Wendu Water City Manager, and the Village Party Secretary playing golf together, when they are hungry they ordered a helicopter to send them wontons.--On the other is a school in Henan Province's Guandu Town without a schoolbus, one 3-wheeled motorbike carrying 31 kids. This is the result of influential officials opposing constitutionalism, and this is the reason I continue to support a constitutional government!"

-- Weibo user Shi Pu

Actually, Helicopter Delivery was a "Routine" Sales Pitch

After the story spread across Weibo, Mr. Guo, a product spokesman from the helicopter company, a part of the Hongfu group, tried to dispel the rumors.

"Indeed the so-called 'helicopter-wonton delivery incident' was not really a food delivery, but rather a product demonstration for clients who might be interested in buying a helicopter."

That might make sense, given that golfers at several other courses in the area reported seeing a similar phenomenon. The helicopter was making the rounds of the local golf courses showing off to potential clients, and had absolute legal clearance to land on the courses, according to Mr. Guo.

The helicopter model in question costs about 15 million yuan, or about 2.4 million dollars.

Helicopter wonton-deliveries could become a popular alternative to street carts, given the current attempts by Chinese cities to crack down on illegal street vendors.
