Upon returning home, Li Zhi immediately used the 'Factory World' ring to enter Fishery Port No. 5.
Fishery Port No. 5 remained unchanged, with clear skies, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of the sea, and unpredictable weather outside the port. Within the port, it was rare to encounter windy or rainy weather. Therefore, not only was the fishing industry prosperous here, but the tourism industry was also thriving.
The beach, the sea, the blue sky—lying comfortably on a beach chair was truly a great pleasure in life.
However, Li Zhi had no time to enjoy himself. A hundred billion in funds was no longer an astronomical figure for him.
Investing twenty billion in two super canning factories was just the initial investment. After the two factories stabilized, Li Zhi planned to invest in building three additional super canning factories, as the minimum target set by 'Star Cloud i9' was five factories.
A single super canning factory could produce fifty million cans of fish meat per day, requiring six thousand workers and a substantial management team.
Li Zhi couldn't transfer employees from the Super Fishball Company, so the new Super Canning Company had to be built from scratch. It would be beneficial if all five super canning factories could be operational within two months and the sales channels established. Complete integration and full operation of the company would take at least a year, if not more.
For the Super Canning Company, Li Zhi needed thirty thousand workers and at least fifteen hundred members of the management team.
The procurement department, sales department, marketing department, finance department, and all the talent Li Zhi needed were in short supply. Fortunately, Fishery Port No. 5 was large enough to accommodate over a billion people. As long as Li Zhi offered suitable salaries, he could find anyone he needed.
Money was not the issue; capability was. Li Zhi repeatedly visited various headhunting companies, brandishing his checkbook.
"Mad, I'm about to outsmart your grandpa!" Li Zhi had been so busy lately that he felt like he was being turned upside down. Therefore, he decided to directly recruit fifteen personal assistants and form a dedicated secretary team to serve him.
All of the personal assistants were tall, beautiful women with both looks and temperament, but most importantly, they were capable. Their qualifications, experience, and abilities were impeccable, and, of course, their prices were not inexpensive.
The annual salary for each personal assistant was over eight hundred thousand dollars. For the two chief personal assistants, their salary was as high as one and a half million dollars, almost reaching the level of a department manager within the company.
After spending the money, Li Zhi felt much more at ease. At least five personal assistants were constantly by his side, even during meals and sleep.
The assistant team was still in the process of getting to know each other. They were all elite talents, and it would take some time for them to fully integrate into the team and serve Li Zhi wholeheartedly.
"Boss, the items you requested for procurement have been purchased."
Assistant Secretary General Yana, with her long golden hair, stands at a height of 1.85 meters, and her high heels add another fifteen centimeters, showcasing her perfect figure and beautiful face. She had a pair of watery blue eyes that made her look like a proud peacock, captivating men and igniting a desire to win her over.
However, she was not easy to approach. She was fluent in all the languages of the top ten islands of the Star of the Sea, held a local law doctorate from Fishery Port No. 5, was a universal-level lawyer of the Star of the Sea, and had a bachelor's degree in business management. She had also served in a special forces unit for three years and was skilled in various combat techniques.
Li Zhi was not physically weak at the moment, but he would be no match for Yana in a fight.
Yana's background was also a mystery.
"I understand!"
Li Zhi invested billions to purchase a 380-story building in the northern area of Fishery Port No. 5. The 76th, 77th, and 78th floors are designated as the headquarters of the Super Canning Company. Each floor had an area of over three thousand square meters, which was more than sufficient for the current requirements.
Purchasing a building with multiple floors was a rare opportunity, so he followed Yana's suggestion and bought all three floors for personal use and potential appreciation.
In the northern area of Fishery Port No. 5, this building was a local landmark and well-known within the community. Companies headquartered in this building were not small in scale.
Li Zhi did not yet have the strength to build his own large headquarters, so these three floors were sufficient for expanding the Super Canning Company to several dozen super canning factories.
On the 78th floor, there was a large office space spanning over five hundred square meters, luxuriously decorated. Li Zhi enjoyed standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out toward the sea. Although it was not the top floor, he preferred the number of this floor—78, which had a positive significance in his hometown.
"Boss, the headhunting company has recommended a sales department manager who will come for an interview this afternoon." "Do you need to meet with him personally?" Yana looked at her schedule and said expressionlessly. Out of all the personal assistants, she was the only one who maintained this cold demeanor. It's not that she couldn't smile, but when she did, it was quite terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, Li Zhi had been in Fishery Port No. 5 for almost a week. Fortunately, in the Factory World, many seemingly complicated things became simple. For example, the decoration— as long as Li Zhi was willing to pay— only took a few minutes to complete.
"I don't have time this afternoon." You can represent me, and if you find him suitable, keep him. If not, check to see if there is a suitable position available for him. "If he is willing to accept it, then keep him." Li Zhi shook his head. He had a reservation at the Falling Star Tower in the evening and needed to pick up some ingredients. He also planned to meet the woman who was willing to spend 2.88 million on a meal.
Yana furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Understood." It was not that she wanted to say this, but she had to. It was already stipulated in the contract that any of Li Zhi's orders in the workplace had to be executed without opposition.
In other words, Li Zhi had hired people to work for him and share his worries, not to argue with him. Capability was important, but obedience was also crucial. In this team of personal assistants, Li Zhi's words were law, which was exactly what he wanted.
"In three days, two super canning factories will be fully completed and operational." Before that, all workers, management, and sales department personnel must be in place, and the framework of other departments must also be fully established. Half a month later, I will invest in constructing three additional super canning factories, so the current number of personnel in our company is insufficient. Let the headhunting company continue to recruit as many people as we need. "By the way, how is the establishment of the HR department going?" Li Zhi did not turn around.
The Super Canning Company needed to establish its own personnel files. At the moment, they were rushing to complete tasks quickly. After making some initial adjustments, they would determine who was best suited for each position.
"It has already been established, and several HR department managers are already in place!" Yana nodded in response.
Li Zhi turned around, circled Yana, and played with her long hair, smiling as he asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
During this time, Li Zhi had teased and flirted with her more than once. Most of the time, Yana would not leave Li Zhi, but if he crossed a line, she would take action and confront him.
Li Zhi, who was already quite tall at 1.78 meters, had to look up at the assistant secretary-general when standing in front of her. Yana was at least a head taller than him, and Li Zhi didn't quite like that feeling. If possible, he would prefer her to kneel down and talk to him.
Heh heh, purely a fantasy, not to be taken seriously.
Before she would even consider submitting to him, let alone serving him, she wouldn't bow her head unless it was work-related.
Yana stood there expressionless and said, "Yes, I think you should establish a monitoring department, not only for the factories but also to place your people in various departments within the company, especially in the sales and procurement departments, to prevent any actions that could harm the company's interests."
"A monitoring department?" Li Zhi thought for a moment and nodded, "You're right." It's imperative to establish a monitoring department as the company continues to grow! After a brief pause, he smiled and said, "Secretly establish the monitoring department, and from now on, you will be fully responsible for it." You will report directly to me. If you need manpower, please contact the HR department. If you require separate funds, please submit a request to the finance department. If you want to recruit personnel individually, you can do so!
Yana's eyes flickered, and she nodded, saying, "Thank you for your trust, boss." I will do my best!
Satisfied, Li Zhi nodded and leaned in to Yana's hair, taking a gentle sniff. It had a pleasant fragrance, whether it was from her body or from some perfume; it smelled good.
"I will be away for two days." I hope that integrating the personal assistant department will yield prompt results. Similarly, I understand that each of you is an expert with your own sense of pride, but I do not want your personal conflicts to impact my company. I hired you to work, not to create conflicts. Of course, if any of you are willing to exert a little more effort and assume additional responsibility, you can acquire some authority from me. Do you understand? Li Zhi smiled enticingly.
"Okay, I will convey your words to everyone," Yana replied with a calm expression.
Li Zhi had tested this more than once. It was not easy to win her over. He would only tease her when he had nothing else to do. He had hired them to work, and whether they did anything else in private was not a big deal.
"Alright, you may go!" Li Zhi waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.
