Boss Zhang was by Ye Hao's side, and seeing that Ye Hao had been chatting with fans with a smile and grinning, and he had no intention of paying immediately, his heart was worried again.

He didn't know Ye Hao, if it weren't for Zhang Qingshan as a guarantor in the middle, he wouldn't have received Ye Hao so warmly, let alone sold such a large aircraft carrier to Ye Hao.

He even doubted whether Ye Hao could really come up with more than 5 billion yuan in funds.

"Ahem, Ye Dong, otherwise, I will accompany you to visit this aircraft carrier first, and then talk about signing and payment?"

Boss Zhang asked tentatively.

"This aircraft carrier is so big, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time to visit it completely, so there is no hurry. Let's sign the agreement first, and when I pay you, it's not too late to go and take a closer look!"

Ye Hao said casually.

"Great! I'm just waiting for Ye Dong's words!"

Boss Zhang suddenly smiled.

He quickly pulled out his phone and made a call.

Immediately afterwards, from the direction of the towering aircraft carrier control tower in the distance, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums.

Ye Hao and his group, after hearing the sound of drums, looked curiously in the direction of the command tower.

At this time, from a hatch at the bottom of the conning tower, two groups of drummers dressed in costumes, more than 30 people, holding various musical instruments, walked out. In addition, there were more than a dozen people dressed in seafarers' costumes, carrying some tables and chairs, and holding some flowers, following the band.

"Hey, Boss Zhang, is there such a big band on your aircraft carrier?"

Ye Hao smiled happily.

"Yes, the aircraft carrier has been converted into a nautical-themed park, and of course the band performers are indispensable. The members of this band are of a very high level, and I specially recruited them from a national orchestra with a high salary!"

Boss Zhang introduced with a smile.

"In addition to these orchestra members, there are quite a few crew members on this aircraft carrier, right?"

Ye Hao asked.

"You're right, such a large aircraft carrier, which is used to run a theme park, naturally needs a lot of staff. There are more than 500 crew members responsible for piloting, operating, and maintaining the aircraft carrier! In addition, there are doctors, cooks, bands, reception and service personnel, entertainment equipment operators, and other staff such as administration, logistics, cleaning, security, and so on. The crew on this aircraft carrier, all counted, a total of 1,086 people!"

When Boss Zhang said this, he seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped.

After a few seconds, he smiled awkwardly and said,

"By the way, Ye Dong, I forgot to remind you before, the cost of hiring these staff members is not included in the amount of our transaction this time!"

"It doesn't matter, don't you just hire more people, it won't cost much! Don't worry, I'll bear this cost myself!"

Ye Hao said indifferently.

"Ahem, Ye Dong, I still have to remind you, because there are a large number of staff on the aircraft carrier, the salary that needs to be paid to them every year is a large amount! Of course, if you buy this aircraft carrier, it will not be used to open a theme park in the future, and you may not need to hire so many people. However, to maintain the normal operation of such a large aircraft carrier, at least eight or nine hundred people are needed!"

Boss Zhang kindly reminded.

"If I were to keep all of the 1,086 staff, how much would I need to pay them a year?"

Ye Hao asked.

"It depends on how much you're prepared to pay them. As far as the current situation is concerned, except for some important positions, such as captain, first mate, chief engineer, maintenance technician, doctor, chef and band member, etc., I pay other ordinary positions at a relatively low salary level. In one year, the salaries of all the staff are added together, almost more than 90 million yuan!"

Boss Zhang said truthfully.

"Employing so many people, the annual salary is less than 100 million? Boss Zhang, you are enough to pick the door!"

Ye Hao said with a smile.

"Ahem, there's no way, raising so many people, the expenses for a year are too great! My aircraft carrier theme park has not yet been officially opened to the public, who knows how much money can be earned a year after the opening?

Boss Zhang smiled awkwardly.

"That's good, when we sign the agreement, you tell all the employees that as long as they are willing to stay and continue to serve me, their salaries can be doubled!"

Ye Hao waved his hand and said.

"Oh my God! Ye Dong, is it too extravagant for you to do this?"

Boss Zhang said in shock.

"It's only 200 million a year, not much money!"

Ye Hao said nonchalantly.

"200 million yuan in staff salaries is still less?! Ye Dong, I have another very important matter, I haven't had time to discuss it with you in detail. The annual maintenance and maintenance costs of this aircraft carrier will cost at least 200 million yuan! This is only the minimum maintenance cost for a long-term dock on the shore! If this aircraft carrier wants to go out to sea for a circle, it will cost 5 million yuan a day just for fuel!

Boss Zhang said.

"You're not right, aren't you? How can such a large aircraft carrier need two or three hundred million yuan a year for maintenance? I remember that it was reported in the media that the annual maintenance and use cost of an aircraft carrier is often several billion yuan!"

Ye Hao asked puzzled.

"Ahem, Ye Dong, what you are talking about is the kind of aircraft carrier maintenance costs used for military purposes! In our aircraft carrier, military equipment such as cannons, missile launchers, and fighter planes have been dismantled, so the maintenance cost has been reduced by a large amount. If it is a normal military aircraft carrier, the maintenance cost for a year is of course surprisingly high, and it will require at least three or five billion yuan!"

Boss Zhang patiently explained.

"Hahaha, I said, why do you always think that your aircraft carrier is very cheap! Not only is it sold cheaply, but the annual maintenance cost is also very cheap!"

Ye Hao said with a smile.

"The selling price of more than 5 billion yuan is still cheap?! Personnel expenses and maintenance costs are added together, and another four or five billion yuan will be spent every year, so high maintenance costs are still cheap?"

A row of black lines appeared on Boss Zhang's forehead, and he didn't know how to answer Ye Hao's words.

"Cheap! Cheap! Very cheap! This aircraft carrier is worth buying! By the way, Boss Zhang, let's stop talking about these trivial issues, let's sign the contract quickly!"

Ye Hao said with a smile.

"Uh...... , Ye Dong is really wealthy, and he is really arrogant!"

Boss Zhang has nothing to say.

At this time, the performances of those bands had ended, and the crew had also set up tables and flowers on the deck for signing contracts, waiting for Ye Hao and them to come over and sign.

Ye Hao followed Boss Zhang and walked to the signing table.

Ye Hao didn't sit down, he stood directly in front of the table, and with a stroke of his pen, he signed his name on the agreement.

"Boss Zhang, give me an account number, and I'll transfer the full amount to you!"

Ye Hao said.

"Ahem, thank you Ye Dong!"

Boss Zhang hurriedly asked the financial staff to tell Ye Hao the account number.

Just a minute or two later, Boss Zhang's mobile phone received a text message from the bank notifying him of the receipt of the payment.

He picked up his mobile phone and saw that a huge amount of cash of 5.1 billion yuan had been remitted to his account.

Ye Hao's payment was too fast, and after signing the contract, he immediately paid the full amount to Boss Zhang.

Boss Zhang was still a little relieved, took his mobile phone and looked at the bank notice for a long time, and asked the financial staff to verify it, which finally confirmed that the big transaction with an amount of 5.1 billion yuan had indeed been completed.
