The listing of Future Bank was progressing smoothly. It was expected to issue 30% of the shares at 11.9 billion US Dollar. Jiang Chen fully delegated the specific operation of the listing plan to Future Bank's CEO, David Smith. The former executive of Citibank was an expert in the financial field, and his ability to handle the company's listing was without a doubt. Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't need the help of B City Bank on this matter as he could handle it himself.
After the completion of the listing financing, Future Bank would use the 10 billion US Dollar to continue to acquire small and medium-sized banks, snowballing to the end, and strengthen the heart of the behemoth, Future Group!
On the other side, at the beginning of April, with the continued immigration of immigrants, Penglai City was gradually on the right track.
The economic structure of Penglai City was mainly based on tourism, followed by the office industry, and supplemented by small-scale manufacturing and light processing.
According to the statistics of the Xin Tourism Bureau, due to the opening of Penglai City, the number of tourists in Xin in March showed an explosive growth. Compared to the 189,000 visitors in February, the number had risen to 797,000. And according to the data of Xin Airlines, the number of air passengers in the month also exceeded one million, a historical peak!
Shocked by this high-tech city, many tourists expressed their feelings on the Internet after they went there, expressing their shock in their hearts.
"Incredible city! I didn't expect to see the legendary Atlantis in my lifetime! The entire city is completely built on the sea, but you don't feel any turbulence at all. "
"What impressed me the most is the security here. No matter where a robbery occurred, from the time the police received the report to the time the robber was caught on the ground, it would never take more than five minutes. I saw it with my own eyes, a bag robber didn't even run half a street before he was caught by a police drone. He tried to escape, but he was hit by a rubber bullet and peed his pants. Haha, compared to Detroit, this is heaven. Goodbye UA, I'm moving. "
"The streets are very clean, and the round cleaning robots are so cute. Where can I buy them?"
"The shopping experience is great, the water entertainment is also great, and the traffic is impeccable. I really can't think of a reason to give a bad review. Also, the air here is amazing! I plan to buy a level 1 house here and come here for vacation every winter. "
"…"
On the world's most authoritative travel review website, there were almost no negative comments at all.
The reason for the high praise was that people always maintained the greatest degree of tolerance for new things, but more importantly, of course, it was the charm of Penglai City itself.
The booming tourism industry led to a series of industrial chains related to consumption and services. With such a huge business opportunity, the capital tycoons naturally would not let it go. They waved their money and swarmed in. According to the statistics provided by the Penglai City Hall, as of the end of March, as many as 57,000 companies had settled in Penglai, providing a total of 517,000 jobs for Xin.
Xin's president, Zhang Yaping, couldn't stop smiling. With the help of Future Group, Pannu Islands' economy shot up like a rocket.
Currently, only one-third of the more than 500,000 jobs were filled. The huge labor demand attracted a large number of immigrants from East Asia and Southeast Asia. Affected by the buff of the Chinese cultural circle, there were many immigrants from Guangzhou and Fujian to Penglai City. As a result, the name Penglai City gained many good names such as "Land of Opportunity" and "Hawaii of the East" in Hua.
In addition, what surprised the world even more was the municipal structure of Penglai City.
Penglai City itself did not belong to the territory of any country. Although it was nominally a part of Xin, both the law and municipal management were handled by a department under Future Group – Penglai City Hall.
In other words, the island floating in the Pacific Ocean was a city completely ruled by private companies.
The mayor was elected. Every citizen with a Penglai City household registration could participate in the election through a personal terminal. The smart program would announce the election results and appoint the mayor. In addition to the mayor, Penglai City also had a citizen council. The council members were also elected by the citizens of each district to check and balance the power of the mayor.
Justice, security, and military were independent from the municipal system. The former had a separate system and was executed under the supervision of AI. The latter two were managed by Celestial Trade as Celestial Trade was directly loyal to Jiang Chen.
Rather than calling it a private kingdom, it would be better to call it a giant corporation. Every citizen on the island was an "employee". After being "employed", they would be supervised by the company's rules and regulations and enjoy the benefits brought by the company's technology under the legal framework …
In addition, the residents on the island had a special power.
That was to vote on whether to celebrate Christmas and Chinese New Year in the Southern Hemisphere or the Northern Hemisphere.
…
At the beginning of April, all the work at hand was done. Jiang Chen also gave himself a break. He took Ayesha, Xia Shiyu, and the uninvited Natasha to Penglai City for a relaxing vacation.
In the beginning, Xia Shiyu said she couldn't leave because of work, but Jiang Chen made the decision to give her a "forced" leave.
"Although work is important, you can't throw your life away. Just relax this week and don't think about work, "Jiang Chen said.
To be honest, seeing Xia Shiyu work 365 days a year, he was quite distressed as the boss. Of course, it was not because of the overtime pay, but because of her body. If she worked so hard every day, sooner or later, it would be over.
During the holidays, her authority would be temporarily lowered by two levels, and she wouldn't be able to enter the office.
Xia Shiyu, who was used to Jiang Chen's decision, could only sigh and accept his kindness.
But speaking of which, deep in her heart, she still wanted to go out with Jiang Chen. But in front of Ayesha, she always had an indescribable anxiety, as if she felt sorry for her.
After all, that night, she seemed to follow her heart and crossed the red line to do something with Jiang Chen. Even if she usually pretended nothing happened with Jiang Chen, when she was alone, she would still blush because of what she did that night.
However, what she didn't know was that Ayesha didn't care how many women Jiang Chen had, and she already knew what happened that night.
What else could escape the eyes of the Ghost Agents in this country?
Fortunately, Ayesha wasn't a jealous woman. She could accept the word "harem" in the traditional concept. If it were another woman who controlled the intelligence department, it would be a bloodbath in the harem …
