Interstellar Live: Work hard and you will have a fortune of trillions!

Chapter 188 Assigning a task to Zhang Pingyuan

Bai Xi was indeed very worried.

First of all, the Boeing 787 is not a small toy. It is a medium-sized long-distance aircraft that needs a place to park. It has to rent a space at the airport and pay parking fees.

The bigger the plane, the more expensive it is.

Secondly, this thing is not cheap to use. You have to pay landing fees to the airport for takeoff and landing, and passenger bridge fees for using the passenger bridge. There are also passenger service fees, baggage fees, cargo fees, and maintenance fees.

To go to the sky, you have to pay the route fee.

Third, it consumes a lot of fuel. A flight of 2,000 kilometers can consume hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel.

Fourth, if you want to maintain an airplane, you need to maintain crew members, at least a captain, a co-pilot, and two flight attendants, right?

Even if it doesn't fly for a year, the parking fee and maintenance fee are not low, at least tens of millions.

But these are not the key points. Although Bai Xi spends a lot of money, he is not short of money and can afford it.

The most important thing is that if a private plane wants to take off, it must apply for a route at least two days in advance. In other words, if you have an urgent matter and need to leave immediately, I'm sorry, you can't leave.

So, what is the point of owning a private jet? Is it to park it at the airport and go in for a party? Or is it to go home three or four times a year and spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions on it?

With so much money, you can charter a private jet to travel around the world.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is full of disadvantages.

She sighed, not feeling the joy of being able to act cool at all.

Because it is really inconvenient!

Bai Xi had a headache. Forget it. He would put the file back into the system space first. Never mind. He would deal with it after school starts.

She calmed herself down, washed her hands, then took out a piece of newly bought rice paper and began to copy Zhang Daqian's flower sketches.

But the good times didn't last long. Just when she finished half of a painting, her phone rang. Bai Xi picked it up and saw that it was Han Chengxin?

Bai Xi was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he was the chairman of Kyushu Airlines.

I almost forgot about the fact that I didn't have to run this company myself.

She picked up the phone, "Boss Han, is there anything you need from me?"

"Oh, I'm here to apologize to you. Didn't we say we would welcome you at the board meeting? But at that time, the transportation department asked us to hold a meeting to ensure the Spring Festival transportation, and we were busy with this. We didn't do what we said, so I'm here to take a break from my busy schedule and bow to Mr. Bai to apologize."

"No, no, no." Bai Xi said no three times in a row. Han Chengxin was in his fifties, older than his father. Bowing? It would really shorten his life.

"No need to apologize. You guys are busy with your work. As long as Director Han doesn't deduct my money when the dividends are distributed, it doesn't matter if we don't hold this welcome party."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Bai. If you have time, you are welcome to come and guide our work."

"Mr. Han, you're joking. You all are experienced. How can you deserve the guidance of an amateur like me..." He was very polite.

How can the four words "come and guide" be applied to myself?

"Mr. Bai is too modest! Okay, Mr. Bai, go ahead and get busy. We'll see you next year."

"See you next year."

We definitely won’t see it this year as the Spring Festival travel season has entered its busiest phase.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't like dealing with people like Han Chengxin. He was full of clichés and rarely said a word. One phone call could kill a lot of brain cells.

She decided to find another assistant to help her deal with the airline. Bai Xi called Zhang Li and said, "Help me hire an assistant who understands airline management."

As soon as she listed all her requirements, Zhang Li's computer immediately went offline.

Bai Xi was in a good mood. He hung up the phone, tore up the painting that had suddenly flown out due to the ringing of the phone, washed his hands again, and picked up another piece of paper.

Life is still beautiful.

If it's not beautiful, then go and bully people.

That must be... wonderful.

……

Six days before the Chinese New Year, Bai Xi went to Joy Shopping Plaza.

Zhang Pingyuan took her to the top floor and walked into a new-looking room. "Mr. Bai, here's your newly renovated office. What do you think of it?"

Bai Xi took a quick look around and saw that the colors were mainly wood color, linen and light brown, which looked very business-like.

She nodded to Zhang Pingyuan and walked across the soft carpet. "Not bad."

As long as it’s not the meat-colored sauce that the older generation likes, it’s fine.

She doesn't come here often anyway.

Bai Xi looked around, sat in the main seat, motioned Zhang Pingyuan to sit down, and asked, "Do you have any plans for next year's work?"

Zhang Pingyuan was stunned. "What kind of plan did Mr. Bai ask about?"

Bai Xi looked at him and said slowly: "Expansion plan."

Zhang Pingyuan was stunned.

Bai Xi held the coffee in his hand and drank it while waiting for Zhang Pingyuan's answer.

After about half a minute, Zhang Pingyuan thought about it for a long time before speaking, "I have thought about it... but our company doesn't have enough money. It's not that we don't have enough money. If we rent commercial real estate to operate, we need 30-40 billion yuan in starting capital. If we buy..."

He paused and shook his head sincerely, "The company can't afford it."

Bai Xi naturally knew that the company could not afford it, as the company's account currently only had this year's earnings.

She looked up. "What if I have money?"

“???” Zhang Pingyuan was stunned again.

He suddenly realized that he didn't know his boss well enough.

"how many?"

"How much do you need?" Bai Xi asked back.

Zhang Pingyuan swallowed and said the number with some difficulty, "10 billion."

"Ten billion? Not a lot." For a luxury goods mall, Bai Xi felt that it was not much.

She thought about it for a while, and then said to Zhang Pingyuan: "Start investigating super first-tier cities and first-tier cities after the beginning of the year and select a few markets that are not yet saturated."

Spread them out one by one.

There is an upper limit to the sales of luxury goods. If there are 2-3 such shopping malls in a big city, the investment will be risky.

Of course, this is just her visual estimation, and the details still need to be based on data research.

After thinking about it, Bai Xi asked another question, "Do you want to continue to guard here, or go out to explore?" Although he could assign tasks directly, what if the other person's family situation did not allow it?

Zhang Pingyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "I choose to explore."

"Very good. But before you leave, make some adjustments to the company. We may have two, three, five... ten... shopping malls like this in the future. The company structure can no longer be based on this mall. Now, we need a headquarters, and we need to set up the headquarters first."

"In addition to the headquarters, we can set up as many project departments as there are shopping malls, or in the name of subsidiaries."

The mall is managed by an internal manager, who then reports to the head office.

As he spoke, Bai Xi raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Pingyuan.

Zhang Pingyuan was slightly excited. He nodded and said, "I think it's OK. You can try it first. If you encounter any problems, you can ask Mr. Bai for advice."

Bai Xi quickly waved her hands, "Don't do that."

She was just a freshman in the management department. She was only responsible for coming up with ideas and leaving the implementation to Zhang Pingyuan.

Despite this, she still discussed with Zhang Pingyuan how to split the company, which departments the head office should retain, and which departments the project department would need.

After half an hour, the two of them worked out a general idea.
