After hanging up the phone from Liu Xiangguo, Jiang Chen saw that it was almost lunch time, so he put aside what he was doing, opened the door and walked toward the elevator.
The above-ground portion of the Future Man Building has a total of 110 floors, of which 5 floors are catering spaces, offering both Chinese and Western food. Funded by China Futures Group and contracted by an internationally renowned catering company, it provides catering services to more than 6,000 employees in the entire building.
Future Man Group is very rich, which is not only reflected in the chairman's account, but also in the work life and accounts of every employee. Jiang Chen never treats his employees badly, and every year Future People Group's bonuses are outrageously generous.
Low scientific research costs and unparalleled market competitiveness have brought broad profit margins to Futureman Group. For the company's employees, Jiang Chen only requires that they have the ability to accept new knowledge and the most critical sense of belonging and loyalty.
Jiang Chen's office is located in the upper office space, which is the top floor of the entire building. If he dines in the company, he usually goes to the restaurant on the 100th floor. While eating while overlooking the island that had been changed because of him, he always felt that his appetite would be particularly good.
Medium-rare Australian charcoal grilled steak, a pasta, mashed potatoes and poached eggs, and a bowl of fragrant chicken and mushroom soup.
The seat by the window on the left is his special seat. Because Jiang Chen always sat in this position, the employees in the company tacitly reserved space for the chairman. Respect creates a sense of distance. Although Jiang Chen's behavior is close to the people and can even be said to be without any bureaucracy, employees still habitually leave such a distance between work and life.
This is reflected in the fact that every employee who sees Jiang Chen will greet Jiang Chen warmly and is happy to chat with Jiang Chen during breaks, but generally no one will sit across from him during meals. If the restaurant wasn't crowded, no one would even sit near him. On the one hand, I was afraid of disturbing him presumptuously, and on the other hand, I was not sure whether he needed it.
Of course, it may also be because of fear of heights. After all, this is the window on the 100th floor...
Jiang Chen jokingly called this phenomenon "bastard spirit", but he didn't care about it himself. After all, he was a person who liked peace and quiet.
"Today's steak was good. It's a pity that Aisha is not here." Jiang Chen cut a piece of steak into his mouth and chewed it, and nodded with satisfaction.
Ayesha has a special liking for beef, but today she was dealing with matters related to ghost agents on Crescent Island, so she did not appear in the Future Man Building.
Jiang Chen was admiring the scenery outside the window endlessly. As he put delicious food into his mouth, the sound of high heels gradually came closer to his ears, and soon the man sat opposite him with a dinner plate.
Seeing that beautiful and cold face, Jiang Chen paused with his fork in his mouth for two seconds, but soon returned to normal. He smiled at her.
"Are you eating here today?"
"Can I eat here all the time?" Xia Shiyu said casually as he placed the plate on the table.
Fruit salad, corn soup, croissants...no meat.
Seeing Jiang Chen staring at his dinner plate, Xia Shiyu couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.
"Any questions?"
"Nothing... are you full?" Jiang Chen asked with some shame.
"Well, because..." Xia Shiyu couldn't say the words "My thighs have grown fleshy because of sitting for a long time," so she opened her mouth unspeakably, swallowed the words by force, and changed her words. "Not a very good appetite."
"Pay more attention to your health and don't catch a cold." Jiang Chen warned while chewing.
I'm so thin, and I still don't eat more. It really makes me worry that I will be blown away when there is a typhoon...
Not knowing what Jiang Chen was thinking at this moment, Xia Shiyu responded in a low voice after biting into pieces of the tomato.
"kindness."
Since the kiss at the last annual meeting, the two of them haven't eaten and chatted together like this for a long time. However, during the New Year's dinner some time ago, although they did nothing, it miraculously narrowed the distance between the two of them.
You will find out after getting in touch deeply. Xia Shiyu, who always has a cold face, is surprisingly an easy person to get along with. Sometimes Jiang Chen also feels that it would be good to just maintain the current relationship. Whether it's work or life, the two of them can discuss everything.
Although he also knows. it's out of the question.
The two of them chatted about work matters. Thinking of Liu Xiangguo's call just now, Jiang Chen told her about their conversation on the phone.
"We have to let go of the 1.4 billion market first."
When Jiang Chen said this, he smacked his lips. Although he said it easily, he was still very reluctant to give up.
According to statistics released at the end of 2016, the number of Internet users in China has exceeded 700 million. More than the entire population of the United States. Even if the Internet tariff for each user is set at 10 yuan per month, there will still be revenue of RM7 billion per month, or at least US$12.9 billion per year. Assuming that seven large quantum communication satellites are needed to provide ifi services to 700 million users, the annual maintenance cost is about 700 million. After deducting taxes and all other costs and expenses, the net income exceeds US$5 billion, which is more than enough.
After all, Xinghuan Trading does not require offline outlets. You can recharge through online banking. To obtain services, you only need an account number and A. This saves a lot of labor costs and rent alone. Don't look at the telecom monopoly to make money. In 2015, the revenue was 331.202 billion yuan, and the net profit was only 20.054 billion yuan.
"I am the CEO of Future Man Group. Have you chosen the wrong person to discuss with?" Xia Shiyu teased.
The Satellite iFi plan is a project of Star Ring Trading, and Star Ring Trading, a military company that does not pursue direct profits, although its business is listed to serve the Future People Group, there is no difference between the two in terms of equity or management rights. are independent of each other.
"What does it matter? Anyway, the software maintenance service of the satellite iFi plan is provided by Futureman Technology. And, I want to hear your opinion." Jiang Chen said.
"Domestic forces are complicated. My advice is to be cautious and avoid touching those interest chains." Xia Shiyu pondered for a moment and cautiously suggested, "To avoid any impact on other businesses of our group."
"Then why don't you just let the more than 10 billion US dollars go?" Jiang Chen stuffed a small tomato into his mouth and sighed.
"Of course not," Xia Shiyu's red lips outlined a confident arc, "If Xinghuan Trading's IFI covers the whole world and completely eliminates the Internet services provided by submarine cables, can they still refuse you?"
Hearing Xia Shiyu's words, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled sarcastically.
The two of them unexpectedly thought of going together.
reject? Then you have to leave!
After finishing the meal, Xia Shiyu picked up the napkin and daintily wiped the white salad dressing on her lips. Looking at Jiang Chen who was still dealing with the steak, she hesitated for a moment and said.
"Can I... ask you a personal question too?"
"Ask." Jiang Chen said generously.
"What do you think of Ayesha?"
Jiang Chen's fork stopped, and he regretted that he had agreed so readily.
"Is this a work problem?"
"It's lunch break now."
Closing his eyes, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and whispered the right words that Xia Shiyu would never want to hear.
"Important person."
A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and Xia Shiyu lowered her gaze slightly.
"Then what do you think of me?"
Looking at her face, Jiang Chen said seriously.
"Important person."
In those black pupils, two completely different colors of surprise and shame alternated.
Not knowing how to face such an answer, Xia Shiyu bit her lower lip, stood up, and silently picked up the finished plate.
When passing by Jiang Chen, she stepped on him hard.
Ignoring Jiang Chen's screams of exaggerated acting skills, she walked away quickly.
After wiping the dust stains on his leather shoes with a napkin, Jiang Chen looked at the slim figure with a strange expression, and finally sighed.
Sometimes he himself feels that he is hopelessly greedy... (.)
