Chapter 594: Hopeless Greed

After hanging up Liu Xiangguo's phone, Jiang Chen saw that it was almost lunch time, so he put aside what he was doing, opened the door and walked towards the elevator. ? Hunting? ????? ??

The ground part of the Future Man Building has a total of 110 floors, of which 5 floors are dining spaces, where Chinese and Western food are available. Funded by China Future Group and contracted by an internationally renowned catering company, it provides catering services for more than 6,000 employees in the entire building.

Future Group is very rich, not only reflected in the account of the chairman, but also reflected in the work, life and accounts of each employee. Jiang Chen never treats his employees badly. Every year, the bonuses of the Future Group are outrageously generous.

The low cost of scientific research and unparalleled market competitiveness have brought broad profit margins to the Future Group. For the employees of the company, what Jiang Chen requires is that they have the comprehension 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 eats in the company, he usually goes to the restaurant on the 100th floor. He always felt that his appetite would be particularly good when he ate while overlooking the island that had changed because of him.

Eight mature Australian charcoal-grilled steaks, a pasta, mashed potatoes and poached eggs, and a bowl of fragrant chicken and mushroom soup.

The position next to the window on the left is his special seat. Because Jiang Chen always sat in this position, the employees in the company tacitly reserved it for the chairman. Respect will create a sense of distance. Although Jiang Chen's performance is close enough to the people, and it can even be said that he has no bureaucratic airs, the 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 warmly greet him, and is also happy to chat with Jiang Chen during the break time, but generally no one will sit opposite him when eating. If the restaurant wasn't crowded, no one would even be sitting near him. On the one hand, he was afraid of disturbing him, and on the other hand, he was not sure whether he needed it.

Of course, it may also be due to fear of heights, after all, this is the window of a 100-story building...

Jiang Chen jokingly referred to this phenomenon as "the air of bastards", but he himself didn't care about it, after all, he is a person who likes to be quiet.

"Today's steak was good. It's a pity that Aisha is not here." After cutting off a piece of steak and chewing it in his mouth, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Ayesha has a special liking for beef, but today she was dealing with ghost agents on Crescent Island, so she did not appear in the future building.

Just beside Jiang Chen, he never tires of admiring the scenery outside the window. While sending delicious food to his mouth, the sound of high heels gradually approached his ears,

Soon the man sat across from him with a plate.

Seeing that beautiful and cool face, Jiang Chen paused for two seconds with the fork next to his mouth, but soon returned to normal. Smile at her.

"Eat here today?"

"May I eat here all the time?" Xia Shiyu said casually after placing the plate on the table.

Fruit salad, corn soup, croissants... no meat.

Seeing Jiang Chen staring at her dinner plate, Xia Shiyu tilted her head in doubt.

"Any questions?"

"It's nothing...are you full?" Jiang Chen asked with some shame.

"Well, because..." Because of sitting for a long time, Xia Shiyu couldn't say the words that her thighs have grown fleshy, so she opened her mouth in embarrassment, swallowed the words again, and changed her mouth. . "I don't have a good appetite."

"Pay attention to your body, don't catch a cold." While chewing, Jiang Chen reminded.

I'm so thin, I don't eat more, I really worry about whether I will be blown away when the typhoon blows...

Not knowing what Jiang Chen was thinking at the moment, Xia Shiyu answered in a low voice after biting into pieces the little tomato.

"kindness."

Since the kiss at the last annual meeting, the two haven't eaten and chatted together like this for a long time. But at the New Year's dinner some time ago, although they didn't do anything, it miraculously shortened the distance between the two of them.

It will be discovered after in-depth contact. Xia Shiyu, who always has a cold face, is surprisingly easy to get along with. Sometimes Jiang Chen also felt that it would be good to maintain the current relationship. Whether it is work or life, the two can discuss everything.

Although he also knows. it's out of the question.

The two chatted and talked about work matters. Thinking of Liu Xiangguo's phone call just now, Jiang Chen told her what the two had talked on the phone.

"We have to let go of the 1.4 billion market first."

When saying these words, Jiang Chen smacked his lips. Although it was easy to say, he was still very reluctant in his heart.

According to statistics published at the end of 2016, the number of Huaguo netizens has exceeded 700 million. That's more than the entire population of the United States. Even if each user's Internet access fee is set at 10 yuan per month, there will still be a monthly income of 7 billion RMB, or at least 12.9 billion US dollars per year. Assuming that seven large quantum communication satellites are required 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 exceeding US$5 billion is more than enough.

After all, Xinghuan Trade does not need offline outlets, and can rely on online banking to recharge, and only needs an account and app to obtain services, which saves a lot of labor costs and rent alone. Regardless of the monopoly of telecommunications to make money, in 2015, the revenue was 100 million yuan, and the net profit was only 200.54 billion.

"I'm the CEO of Future People Group, did you find the wrong person to discuss with?" Xia Shiyu teased.

The satellite ifi project is a project of Star Ring Trading, and Star Ring Trading, a military company that does not pursue direct profits, although it serves the Future Group in its business listing, there is no difference between the two in terms of equity or management rights. are independent of each other.

"What's the matter? Anyway, the software maintenance service of the satellite iFi project is provided by Futureman Technology. And, I want to hear your opinion." Jiang Chen said.

"The domestic forces are complicated. My suggestion is to be cautious and try not to touch those interest chains." Xia Shiyu pondered for a moment, and cautiously suggested, "To avoid affecting other businesses of our group."

"Then you don't want to leave the tens of billions of dollars?" Jiang Chen sighed as he stuffed a small tomato into his mouth.

"Of course not." Xia Shiyu's red lips outlined a confident arc, "If the ifi of Xinghuan Trading covers the whole world and completely empties the Internet service provided by submarine cables, can they still refuse you?"

Hearing Xia Shiyu's words, Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled sarcasticly.

The two unexpectedly thought of going together.

reject? Then you have to leave!

After finishing the meal, Xia Shiyu picked up the napkin and delicately wiped the white salad dressing on her lips. Seeing Jiang Chen who was still dealing with the steak, she hesitated for a moment, then said.

"May I... ask you a personal question too?"

"Ask." Jiang Chen said generously.

"What do you think of Aisha?"

Jiang Chen's fork stopped, regretting that he had promised so readily.

"Is this a work problem?"

"It's lunch break."

Closing his eyes, Jiang Chen thought for a moment, and then whispered that Xia Shiyu would never want to hear the right words.

"Important person."

A look of sadness flashed in his eyes, Xia Shiyu lowered his eyes 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 crossed.

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 stomped on him hard.

Ignoring Jiang Chen's exaggerated acting screams, she walked away quickly.

After wiping the gray stains on the leather shoes with a napkin, Jiang Chen looked at the slender figure with a strange expression, and finally sighed.

Sometimes he himself feels that he is hopelessly greedy... (To be continued.)
