Coro Island, Future Building. It was the headquarters of Future Group.
If it weren't for the fact that tourists were prohibited from entering, it would definitely be the most scenic landmark on Coro Island, second only to the "Heart of the Sea".
Since the theme was the future, the design of the building was full of sci-fi. 437 meters tall, with 110 floors of upper space and 20 floors of underground space, it was a skyscraper that combined office, residential, and dining. The top floor had a panoramic view of Coro Island, the middle floor could meet all the needs of Future Group's employees, and the bottom floor could serve as a nuclear bunker that could accommodate ten thousand people … Of course, the last function was to prevent future disasters.
Since it was put into use at the beginning of the month, Future Biology, Mining, Tourism, and other subsidiaries on Ange Island, as well as Celestial Trade's office space, were all moved here. Future Headquarters currently had 6000 employees, accounting for nearly 20% of the total population of Xin.
Needless to say, this was a terrifying ratio.
At the moment, Xia Shiyu was sitting in front of Jiang Chen's desk reporting on the group's recent status.
Although she only took office for a month, Xia Shiyu immediately demonstrated her talent in management. She used the shortest amount of time to familiarize herself with Future Group's business and entered the role of CEO. Of course, part of the reason why she could enter the role in such a short amount of time was because before she became the group's CEO, Jiang Chen always gave her the work that should have been done by him …
Of course, Jiang Chen wasn't idle these days.
After taking care of the matters in Moro, he returned to Coro Island and lived a life between the modern world and the apocalypse. Fortunately, he had capable helpers on both sides to take care of the trivial matters for him. Otherwise, he wondered if he would suffer from schizophrenia.
"Takeda Pharmaceutical?" When he heard the unfamiliar name, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Xia Shiyu nodded and hugged the tablet to her chest. "Yesterday at noon, Takeda Pharmaceutical held a press conference in Yoto and announced a major breakthrough in the research of the T virus vaccine. It only needs to pass the final clinical trial stage before the vaccine can be put on the market. "
Jiang Chen thought for a moment, clicked on the EP, and connected to Lin Lin's communication terminal.
"Hello, big pervert, what's up?"
Lin Lin in a white coat appeared on the screen. She shook the conical bottle of unknown liquid while yawning.
Jiang Chen's eyebrows twitched. He pretended not to see Xia Shiyu's strange look and coughed.
"How's the development of the T-virus vaccine?"
"Hmph, since this beautiful young scientist has taken action, I will naturally succeed."
"Why didn't you tell me when you were done?" Jiang Chen glared at her.
Lin Lin stuck out her tongue and muttered, "You didn't ask me."
She put down the conical bottle in her hand, turned around, and walked to an instrument. She took out a thumb-sized USB drive from it, then returned to the communication terminal. She extended a few slender fingers and quickly tapped a few times on the touchscreen.
The Klein particle wave brought the information to the modern world.
Jiang Chen saw the signal light on the EP flicker and knew the data was transferred to his EP. The researchers here didn't need to do any research. They only needed to design the vaccine production plan based on Lin Lin's research results.
After he comforted Lin Lin who wanted mango pudding, Jiang Chen ended the communication and finally met Xia Shiyu's strange look.
"She is?"
"A researcher from Future Group's research department," Jiang Chen said sternly.
Research department, the mysterious department, had always been a legend in the group. No one knew where it was. They only used the low-level artificial intelligence program designed by Yaoyao to obtain data from "there" that Jiang Chen reviewed. Even Xia Shiyu, the CEO of the group, didn't know much about this special department.
"Her age … Is it really okay?" Xia Shiyu was speechless.
Because she was a digitalized human, even after 100 years, Lin Lin's appearance would remain 16 years old. Jiang Chen had been considering whether or not to let Xia Shiyu access the core secrets of Future Group. But judging from her surprised expression, perhaps the time would have to be postponed a little longer …
The data related to the vaccine was transferred from the EP to the USB. Xia Shiyu took the USB from Jiang Chen's hand and reported the preparation for Godly Land's online launch before she left the office.
Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and repeatedly thought about the information Xia Shiyu just reported to him.
One of the pieces of information caught his attention the most.
Takeda Pharmaceutical's T virus vaccine had entered the clinical trial stage. The rapid development of the vaccine made Jiang Chen feel something was unusual.
"Takeda Pharmaceutical?"
Jiang Chen looked at the ceiling and muttered to himself. He suddenly sat up and pressed on the computer on the desk.
Soon, the office door opened again.
This time it was Ayesha. Because it was working hours, she was wearing a suit similar to Xia Shiyu's.
Xin's National Security Bureau staff also worked in Future Group's headquarters, including her, the captain of Ghost Agents. But the missions of Ghost Agents were usually planned and assigned by the security bureau. Her job was only to approve the participation of Ghost Agents, so she was relatively free and didn't need to clock in every day. The reason why she was in this building was because Jiang Chen was here.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Mhmm. I need your people to keep an eye on something for me. "
Ayesha nodded and responded to Jiang Chen with her eyes. "Please instruct me."
"Takeda Pharmaceutical, Kurofune, only these two keywords. I need you to collect as much information as possible from these two keywords. "
"Keep an eye on them for me."
…
In the blink of an eye, it was January 24th. In a few days, it would be New Year's Eve.
In order to complete the launch of Godly Land before the end of the year, the entire Future Group was busy.
But no one complained about the busy schedule before the end of the year.
Because the end of the year was approaching, the day of bonus distribution was getting closer and closer!
The president said at the annual meeting that he would give every employee of Future Group a big bonus so that every employee who worked for Future Group until the end of the year could go home and have a happy New Year!
As to the amount of the bonus, it was obviously based on the performance of the subsidiary, the position of the employee, and the performance of the individual. But regardless, the average bonus was more than one hundred thousand. In addition, employee bonuses and executive bonuses were calculated separately, so there was no way to increase the average. For example, the CEO of a subsidiary, the bonus was at least ten million USD. And for a CEO like Xia Shiyu, 100 million was a must.
Since Future Group's profit this year, because of the 100 million shipments of Phantom helmets, the net profit easily broke the 40 billion USD mark. The financial reports of the other subsidiaries were also colorful and eye-catching.
Based on the decision of the board of directors with only two people, Future Group would take out more than 30 billion in total profit for dividends in 2016. As a result, Jiang Chen's private account officially broke the 30 billion USD mark.
There was nothing more joyous than making money. Although there was still some time before New Year, the company was already filled with a festive atmosphere.
At the annual meeting, Jiang Chen had a few drinks with the employees.
Jiang Chen was naturally happy with the enthusiasm of the employees. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he couldn't remember, but he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have lost a bet when he was drunk, and under the instigation of a group of young men and women, he kissed Xia Shiyu on the cheek.
The result was obvious.
Such a frivolous action caused this thin-skinned chick to ignore him for several days ….
