(Thank you for the "Heartless", "Law", and "Coconut Shell" rewards, thank you for voting and collecting.) In order to avoid writing too hilarious, it was decided to modify the names of some real-life characters to avoid being ...... by river crabs If you are interested, you can guess who it is. ）

After finishing this ridiculous breakfast, Li Jie had to wash and change clothes again, and tidy up before coming to the tarmac behind the villa. Gus and the bodyguards are already waiting here, even Izquirkil? Christian and Kitt? Leslie had already driven here early and waited solemnly.

They came to report to Li Jie on the company's recent operations, because according to the latest news, Sheila? Clint lived up to the hype and had the last laugh, defeating former Maryland Governor Omali, former Virginia Governor Webb and former Rhode Island Governor Chaffee, and has confirmed that she will run as the Democratic Party to represent the next president of the United States, and she will face the Republican presidential candidate in the final quarter of 2016.

Although the names of the presidential and vice presidential candidates were supposed to be announced at the Sept. 11 Democratic National Convention, Mr. Lee knew that it seemed that the grand Democratic convention was not important, and that the so-called convention was nothing more than a political party to entertain the people. The results of the Democratic Party's nomination of the presidential candidate have been decided after voting in July and August.

Does that also mean Sheila? Clint will soon be in New York for a massive fundraiser, and Mr. Lee certainly can't miss a meeting with the presidential candidate. So Izie Kiel and Kit, who learned that he was leaving Los Angeles, had to hurry up and update him on the situation, as hard-pressed subordinates, who had been blowing the wind on the lawn outside for a long time, unaware that their boss had just enjoyed it again.

But even if they know, most of them don't care, with the incentive of high income, these two are models of dedication, almost giving full play to 12% of their work ability, Li Jie often observes from the side in this regard, and so far the two of them have made him very satisfied.

Parked on the lawn is a Bell-407 helicopter, this big guy with a length of more than ten meters has been painted in the black that Li Jie is most satisfied with, and the two sides of the fuselage are also painted with the black and gold corona logo of the Corona Group, which looks extremely deep and atmospheric under the reflection of the sun.

As one of the most successful models of Bell Helicopter, a subsidiary of Textron, the Bell 407 has a maximum range of 675 kilometers and a cruising speed of 250 kilometers per hour.

Usually this type of helicopter is 2 plus 5 seats, but Li Jie's advanced business configuration version has undergone special treatment, not only has comfortable full leather seats, but also has been comprehensively improved in terms of fuselage protection, noise reduction, riding space and comfort, especially the porthole area on both sides of the fuselage has increased by 35% compared with the prototype, and the seats have been changed to 2 plus 6, and special glass has been installed, increasing the lighting in the cabin, and expanding the field of vision of the driver and occupants. For Li Jie, who never has less than two people when he goes out, those ultralight helicopters weighing less than one ton are obviously not spacious enough.

This was fully felt when everyone sat in the cabin against the strong winds caused by the wing rotation, and the helicopter was very comfortable in terms of comfort. Generally speaking, all aircraft on the manufacturer's production line have already been ordered by customers or dealers. Especially in the United States, the supply of most business jets and helicopters has always been relatively tight, and a considerable number of models have been supplied for more than 2 to 3 years. Even though it is possible to purchase some models from dealers who have already placed orders, the shortest lead time is half a year.

Li Jie's Bell-407 greatly shortened the supply time through Citi's channels, and when the original orderer intentionally gave up, it fell into his hands as soon as possible, for which he paid an additional 10% of the public relations and expenses, which can be called a model of rich and capricious. In fact, he ordered three in one go, and two more Bell 427s, which are almost upgrades to the current helicopter, and one of them will be delivered directly to the roof of his mansion in New York.

In the treasurer Kit? At Leslie's suggestion, he bought the three expensive vehicles, which cost more than $15 million, in the name of Corona as an investment to reap tax benefits and preserve the value of his assets. Based on the straight-line depreciation method for 8 years, the book value of the aircraft will be zero after 8 years, but it will save the company more than $600,000 in income tax (income tax 33% * aircraft price / 8 years) per year, provided that the company is profitable, and this is undoubted. At present, the world's common residual value calculation of aircraft is generally 70% of the purchase price (after 8 years of use), and even the most conservative estimate is 50%, that is, after 8 years, the book value of the aircraft has been zero, but the sale price in the market is still at least half of the purchase price.

Li Jie ignored the more complicated algorithm, he only knew that he didn't spend much money in the end at Kitt's suggestion, but he was able to get three helicopters, which seemed to be a bit of a trouble that he couldn't spend his money. At the same time, after paying, he didn't need to bother with other trivial things, from pilot training to all the formalities were handled by Bell Company, and then delivered to the door.

Of course, there is also the pilot's salary, annual insurance premiums, etc., which he will arrange for the Bell company to coordinate with the agency, who will be responsible for the daily maintenance, repair and scheduling management of the aircraft; completion of service circulars and airworthiness directives; The cost of three helicopters is about $80 to $1.5 million a year, which is the bulk of the work.

The helicopter quickly and smoothly lifted off in the direction of Cobist 1 Laboratory, and in order to facilitate the inspection of Li Jie, the big boss, all the laboratories were converted into more than two helipads, including the Inside Laboratory in Bakersfield in the Central Valley, even if it was a little more than an hour to fly directly from his house in Beverly Hills.

Izquirkil? Christian and Kitt? After marveling at the interior of the helicopter and the comfort, Leslie reports to Li Jie about the work at hand, and Kit tells Li Jie the bad news: he is running out of money.

Yes, under the aggressive investment in R&D by Corona and the profligacy of Li Jie himself, he only has less than 10 million funds left in his bank account.

But this is not a big problem, if it weren't for the fact that Corona would have been able to make a splash, results such as Splenier Labs' anti-cancer treatments could actually have been gradually translated into economic gains. Reeves was eager.

"What's your suggestion?" Li Jie casually flipped through the report handed over by Kitt, and put it aside after a general understanding of the situation.

"According to the feedback from Pfizer, the first quarter profit of 'Vilida' will not be paid to us until the end of January. If you don't want to open up the work of the labs right now, Boss, then my suggestion is to take out a loan. Kitt calmly pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose. In fact, this is a very normal thing, and the benefits of borrowing appropriately outweigh the disadvantages for the healthy development of enterprises. He knew that it was difficult for him to guess what the boss was thinking, so he just made honest suggestions and didn't say much else.

"Then it's good to take out a loan, with the profits of 'Willida' as a guarantee, and Citi will be happy to lend us money." In fact, as long as Li Jie speaks, Pfizer will be happy to pay in advance for his part of the revenue from this quarter's new drugs, but he doesn't want this to be an excuse for the other party when dealing with Pfizer in the future. "Kit went back to New York with me this time, and by the way, I thought the loan of $1 billion would be more appropriate, and I believe that I will be able to earn it back soon."

The helicopter landed on the roof of the Cobist 1 laboratory, and Li Jie smiled and patted Kit on the shoulder as he walked into the building. The latter also has access to some of the laboratory's research projects and progress, and there is no doubt about this. He and Izikil have already embraced the Corona Company with iron hearts, no, they are hugging Li Jie's big thick legs, believing that their road to becoming rich will not be too far.

"One last thing, Izzy." Li Jie's footsteps did not slow down in the slightest, and Izikil, who heard the greeting, hurriedly followed. "You need to find me two people, the life secretary and the work secretary, and I don't want to spend countless hours a day looking at papers. No, it's good to be a working secretary, and you don't have to worry about life secretary. "After all, the identity can't be exposed, and private things still need to be cautious, so Li Jie changed to recruit someone again.

"No problem, Boss, do you have any specific requirements for your working secretary?" Itzikil knows that according to Li Jie's character, this position is far more important than that of a secretary in the ordinary sense, and even sometimes he can act as his spokesperson, so he must pay attention to it and have to ask a few more questions.

"Beautiful, obedient, capable."

Itzikiel was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, what kind of request is this, and the third one is good to say, why are the first two a little weird, and they really deserve to be the boss.

"By the way, there's one more thing that has nothing to do with you." Li Jie glanced at Itzikil meaningfully, confirming that he felt what he meant.

The latter immediately nodded violently, putting away the little caution he had been hiding.
