"A total budget of 20 billion US Dollar … Are you planning to build an aircraft carrier?" Xia Shiyu pinched her temple and said with a headache.
Twenty billion USD, when converted to RMB, was more than 130 billion! Although Future Group was rich, they couldn't spend it like this. And based on Jiang Chen's explanation, this was only the first phase of the project.
"Why are you all thinking about aircraft carriers? Even if it's a Nimitz-class, it's only 4 billion? "Jiang Chen sighed and said in a joking tone.
Xia Shiyu's eyebrows twitched. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"… A budget of five aircraft carriers. Can I understand what you're planning to do?"
"Of course, it's not something worth keeping secret." Jiang Chen paused, then continued, "I plan to build a city."
"A city?" Xia Shiyu didn't understand what Jiang Chen was talking about.
What kind of city would require so much steel? And those foam aluminum, polyethylene materials …
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded seriously.
Xia Shiyu stared into his eyes for a long time before she let out a sigh.
"Okay, I'll arrange it in a bit. I'll talk to the finance department about the budget later. The approval documents can be on your table by the end of the day. Just sign it and give it to me."
Jiang Chen was surprised that Xia Shiyu nodded so quickly.
As if she saw the surprise in his eyes, Xia Shiyu's mouth curved up, but her serious expression didn't change.
"But as the CEO, I still need to remind you. Although Future Tourism is profitable, even in an ideal situation, it would take at least five years to recover the 10 billion USD investment. "
"I know." Jiang Chen nodded. "But this project isn't just a tourism project, and the significance isn't just in terms of profit. What I'm saying now may be a bit abstract, but once I send you the plan and the project concept, you should be able to understand what I'm saying. "
"You're the boss, you don't need to explain to me." Xia Shiyu pushed up the glasses on her nose and smiled. "And, I believe in you."
Because you always create miracles … Xia Shiyu hid the last half of the sentence in her heart.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Speaking of which, it's about time you found a secretary. "
"Aren't you my secretary?" Jiang Chen grinned cheekily.
Xia Shiyu pretended to be angry and glared at him. She raised her hand and coughed to calm herself down. "I'm not joking, I'm serious."
Jiang Chen sat up straight and waited for her to continue.
"With the current development speed of the group, my work on business decisions may increase, and I may not have as much time as before. It's better to leave the work of sorting out documents, making decisions, making coffee, and so on to the professionals. "
Then, Xia Shiyu added another sentence.
"It's more efficient this way."
"Thank you for your hard work," Jiang Chen said seriously.
The shadow on both sides of her bangs hid the faint blush on her cheeks. She looked at the document in her hand and whispered, "Nothing."
Hmph, at least you have a conscience.
After a pause, Xia Shiyu put the document she had been holding for a long time on his desk.
"I have a few resumes here. These talents are impeccable in terms of education and ability. Some are from Harvard, and some are from the Imperial University of Science and Technology. They are also very interested in working for you. Take a look at which one is suitable, and I can arrange an interview for you. "
"Okay, thank you." Jiang Chen picked up the document on the table and began to flip through it.
It felt like a eunuch helping the emperor choose a wife.
He shook his head and dispelled the inappropriate thoughts in his head as he carefully examined the resumes.
Just like Xia Shiyu said, these talents were impeccable in terms of education and ability. But looking at the resumes, Jiang Chen felt something was wrong.
It was only after a while that he realized what was wrong, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
These resumes … why are they all male?
When he thought about how the person sitting in the office every day, asking him questions, and making coffee was a man, Jiang Chen's mood instantly soured. Having ability was one thing, but as the president, he needed to have some passion for work.
Although he understood Xia Shiyu's thoughts, he still felt a little hurt when he realized this.
[Where did the trust between people go?] [Am I that kind of person?] [Even if it's a female secretary, even if she's attractive, I still won't do anything …]
[Probably.]
Jiang Chen also realized that his ability to resist temptation wasn't that strong. And Xia Shiyu, who discovered this, helped him cut off the "inducement". Since she was the CEO of the group, for the sake of the group's development, it was reasonable to appropriately control the president's desires …
Jiang Chen stuffed the resumes into the drawer and called the human resources department to ask them to prepare a few more resumes.
Of course, he still couldn't accept a man hanging around his office all day.
…
The choice of secretary was put aside for now. Compared to these insignificant interludes, Jiang Chen had more important things to take care of.
Just like he said to Xia Shiyu, he planned to build a city.
Not on land, but on the sea!
With the development of Xin's economy, a large number of foreign workers and tourists flooded into Xin. The small Pannu Islands instantly became crowded, and the previously spacious residential land began to become scarce. Although it wasn't to the extent that the indigenous people who enjoyed the benefits of economic development couldn't afford to buy a house, it undoubtedly increased their cost of living and raised the immigration threshold.
Even if Xin had the economic conditions for population growth, how many people could fit on an island that wasn't that large?
Xin's territory was vast, but it wasn't on land, but on the sea.
With its back facing the vast western Pacific Ocean, Xin didn't have any territorial disputes in the east!
With such a unique geographical advantage, it would be a waste if they didn't utilize it.
Future Group and Celestial Trade's next strategic focus was to expand into the sea!
As the prelude to the space age.
