Opening new routes is crucial for an airline, second only to purchasing aircraft. How can it be done without money? What can you do without money these days?

"What I mean is, if you need money, don't use the airline's money for now. I'll pay for this part personally. To be honest, when I had a problem with the Japanese a while ago, my people raided a Japanese bank. There's a lot of yen in it, and now I don't know how to spend it."

Li Shaoyi thought of an excuse for himself, but Dong Yueyan laughed beside him. Li Shaoyi was capable of doing this. His wealth had grown so fast in recent years. Everyone could see the legitimate business, but it was definitely not enough for Li Shaoyi to support his family and army. This kind of private wealth might be the main source of finance.

"Then our airline is really taking advantage of this. You're the airline's major shareholder, but not the only one. The other shareholders will definitely be happy for you to use your personal money to support the company. I estimate the cost of opening these routes will be around eight million dollars, plus some deposits for other airports, which will leave us with a little over ten million."

Dong Yueyan made a rough estimate. Anyway, this money would be refunded in excess and supplemented in the shortfall. After investing this money, we can open routes to various parts of Southeast Asia, and we will definitely make the money back then. Of course, it is just a matter of time.

Li Shaoyi calculated the time and found that there were still several years before the full outbreak of the Pacific War. It was certain that he would make the money back. Of course, even if he couldn't make it back, he had to throw it in given his current situation.

"I'll have someone send you 12 million yen later, and the rest will be considered your personal bonus."

Dong Yueyan was a senior employee in the airline company and had no shares at all. According to Li Shaoyi's idea, such a person should have some technical management shares, but the other shareholders were unwilling to do so. In their opinion, a monthly salary of 2,200 yuan was enough.

"This, this, this..."

Dong Yueyan had always given Li Shaoyi the impression of being very calm, but after hearing what Li Shaoyi said, she began to stutter a little.

In fact, this is a very normal thing. Twelve million yen can basically be exchanged for dollars at a one-to-one ratio. In the end, there will be nearly one million left. Can you give it all to yourself?

"Can you be a little more sophisticated? It's such a large airline, and it's doing so well now. It's only natural to give you a bonus. Of course, I'm not trying to bribe you. You still work for the same people as before. Don't overthink it."

Li Shaoyi knew that Dong Yueyan had a lot of thoughts on her mind. She might think that he was trying to poach her by giving her so much money at once. Although Li Shaoyi really wanted to poach her, his connection with his wife prevented him from doing so. Li Shaoyi knew very well how powerful pillow talk was. If he poached his wife, he would be in so much trouble. Isn't his life good enough now?

"I've never seen a boss as generous as you. Although professional managers have emerged in the West, the salaries they receive are far less than your generosity."

Dong Yueyan pinched herself and finally believed that she was not dreaming.

"Just do your job well and be worthy of the bonus I give you."

Li Shaoyi looked mysterious, but he was actually very happy in his heart. They were all counterfeit money, which could win people's hearts and get things done for him. As for whether these counterfeit money would impact the Japanese market, it probably would not.

Li Shaoyi also talked to some economists. Of course, he didn't really ask about this, but asked indirectly that according to the size of Japan's economy, there would be absolutely no problem if they threw out a few million or tens of millions every week.

If we consider China's economic size, then this method of throwing money away would be problematic.

When they were almost at the office, Dong Yueyan got out of Li Shaoyi's car. With such a huge financial incentive, she had to hurry up and get things done. The money she would earn this time was more than she had ever earned in her entire life.

In the past, when working with the Madam, many people gave Dong Yueyan many valuable gifts in order to open up this connection. But even if all of them were added together, it was still a far cry from the reward Li Shaoyi gave this time.

"This little vixen really knows how to take advantage of loopholes."

Li Sibei stood at the door of the office and watched Dong Yueyan's car turn the corner. Because of official business, she did not go to the train station to pick up Li Shaoyi. Unexpectedly, Dong Yueyan took advantage of the opportunity.

"We're here to discuss serious matters, not the trivial matters you think."

Li Shaoyi didn't know what to say to his subordinate Li Sibei. He would have to have a good chat with her some other day, especially about the incident of him dancing in front of his wife. This kind of thing must not happen again.

"Go in and wash your face. We'll be leaving soon. Minister Chen of the Navy is available this morning and has already made an appointment for you."

After Li Sibei returned to Jinling, she was obviously scolded by her family, so her voice was cold when she spoke to Li Shaoyi.

Li Shaoyi didn't hear it and hurried in to change his clothes. In order to go south as soon as possible, there were some things he had to do personally.

Although Deng Jiugong is the commander of the Fifth Fleet, he does not have many connections in Nanjing. Li Shaoyi has to use his important connections to let Deng Jiugong handle some small matters. This way, the process can be faster and there is no need to make things difficult for his men to pave the way.

Compared with the navy's warships, the Navy Ministry building is much more imposing. When Li Shaoyi saw this building, he underestimated it a little bit. If you use the money for building the building to buy warships, you will not be without a decent warship. You focus on enjoyment so much in normal times, can this building be driven to the sea when a war breaks out?

"I know what you're thinking. Don't misunderstand me. This building belonged to a corrupt official a few years ago. Back then, the Navy's office in Nanjing was ridiculed by consuls from other countries, so it became the Navy's building. Do you think a frugal man like Commander Chen would allow such a large sum of money from the Navy's budget to be used to build a building?"

Li Sibei's voice floated over from behind. It must be said that Li Sibei knew Li Shaoyi very well. From the look in Li Shaoyi's eyes, she could tell what Li Shaoyi was thinking.

Although Li Sibei had revealed his true feelings, Li Shaoyi still had a smile on his face. This kind of Minister Chen was the one he was familiar with. It made him feel comfortable to work with such a person...
