Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Monday, 6 June.

At 9: 00 a.m., Pei Qian slept until he woke up naturally.

The weekend's gaming experience with Nguyen Guangjian didn't make him very excited these two days. He was a little self-contained at home and didn't really want to go to work.

After getting up and washing, Pei Qian took out two small pieces of cake and a box of milk from the refrigerator, prepared to take two bites, and then continued to clear the game that he had not finished yesterday.

Because the room is minimalist, commonly known as the "Four Walls of the House", Pei Qian can only eat on the small coffee table next to the large balcony.

This small coffee table is one of the only pieces of furniture left in the entire living room, with two small chairs next to it for the main purpose of seeing the scenery outside, drinking tea, etc.

Two small pieces of cake were soon eliminated. Pei Qian threw the garbage in the trash can and left it alone. They were all cleaned anyway.

Just sitting on the couch, picking up the handle, the doorbell rang.

“Hmm?” Pei Huan stood still and got up and opened the door.

The butler stood outside the door, holding a box from all directions: "President Pei, this is the courier sent to you by Yunmeng Venture Capital. Do you need help moving in? ”

The housekeeper is Song Kai, 26 years old. He has been a co-host for a rental company before, and is also a candidate for assistant Xin. So far, the job has been done well.

Of course, there wasn't much work.

Since coming to Lazy Apartment, Song Kai has often had some doubts about his life.

Pei Qian considered that only Liang Qingfan, the person in charge of the lazy apartment, was obviously too busy. Even if the project could never be set ablaze, the management and cleaning of each building would still have to be recruited.

As long as this building has one occupant, at least one cleaner will have to be hired.

When there are more and more houses in the future, these things can't be done by Liang Qingfan, right?

After all, he is an architect, responsible for the design work and the construction of the site.

Therefore, Pei Huan felt that he intended to observe Song Kai for a few days. If he felt that this person could still survive, let him also be in charge of the lazy apartment, and give Liang Qingfan a hand and help.

“Unpack it, just give me the stuff.” Pei Qian said.

Song Kai opened the box, took out the black box in all four quarters and handed it over to General Bae.

Pei Huan reached out and found this thing still heavier than he thought, but it was also impossible to move.

This is the improved version of the fully automatic leverage machine. Zhang Lu arranged for people to mail it directly to Pei Qian's residence.

Song Kai carefully closed the door and took away the empty box.

Pei Qian held the fully automatic lever and looked around in the living room.

There's nowhere to put it!

This thing is big, it's small, it's not small, it's placed on a bookshelf as a decoration item, and it's too small to be placed as a cabinet in the corner of the room or next to a TV cabinet, which makes it look strange.

All in all, this strange size is simply very satisfying to Pei Huan.

After a lap, Pei Qian put it on the small coffee table where he had his breakfast before.

Not to mention, it fits perfectly, just reachable by sitting in a chair next to it, and the "lever lift” operation is very smooth.

“Good, Zhang Lu, I will trust you again. If this project succeeds in making me lose, then I will invest in anything you do! ”

The system is also obviously limited by the backlog of goods, which cannot be brain free and endless when there is a clear backlog of goods, but the backlog of 20,000 or 30,000 units should not be a major problem.

That is, as long as the project meets Pei Qian's expectations, the fully automatic lever will not sell, backlog of 23,000 units, burning millions is easy.

Pei Qian began to scrutinize this fully automatic lever that he had given himself high hopes for.

Compared to previous samples made by Zhang Zhuang, the new fully automatic lever is several full turns, all in pure black with a brushed texture, but with bright gold edges at some edges, it looks quite understated and luxurious.

Pei Qian first came a wave of "lever lifting” operations.

Each time the lever is lifted, the fully automatic lever will be lifted back again to restore the entire machine to its original condition.

If the bar is lifted several times in a row, the fully automatic bar lifter will also restore the lifted metal bars in the corresponding order, all in a "continuous bar lift" state until fully recovered.

At this point, a reading will be displayed on the box in a purely mechanical manner. Once all the sticks have been restored and the "Continuous Raise Bar" state is over, the numbers on the box will be cleared and returned to the pure black box.

Beyond that, Pei Huan also noticed that the materials in the box seemed to improve, the Y-shaped stick turned golden, and the shape seemed to have been redesigned, full of finely carved texture.

After all, the cost doubled, from 200 to 400 dollars, and all of that cost was spent on these little egg-free details.

Pei Qian lost interest in it after playing for two minutes.

Who's gonna pay 488 for this crap? Absolutely out of your mind!

First of all, it has absolutely no practical significance.

Secondly, it is a pure black box with a gold edge. Even with a bit of abrasion, there will not be many people using it as a decoration. After all, the decorations that can be bought at the same price will definitely look much better than it.

Bae Qian was very satisfied and immediately called He Wing Sheng.

“I have received the fully automatic lever lift and it works very well, call for money now and mass produce it now! Hmm... the more you do, the cheaper? Then prepare 20,000 units first! ”

The first batch produced 20,000 units, and if they were all backlogged in the warehouse, they would have killed eight million instantly.

Of course, if the previous sale is not good, Pei Qian will also consider continuing to increase the spare parts, but it depends on the face of the system.

But anyway, Bae Qian can say that he has high hopes for Zhang Zhu Zhuo's return to develop this fully automatic lever!

……

June 7th, dinner time.

Mingyun Private Chef.

The so-called "Ming Yun Private Chef” is called inside Tengda, officially known as "Nobody's Restaurant”, because its name is not searched on the internet at all.

Two tall blondes came to the front door of the villa.

“Elena, I had no idea this place would be so remote... I wouldn't have come with you if I'd known. ”

“Well, Jessica, this is a very good local friend of mine who booked a place two months in advance, and it's my first time here, and I think whether or not this restaurant is worthy of its local reputation, eat it before complaining. ”

“Well, I wouldn't look good if it didn't taste good. ”

“You don't have to say that, so do I. ”

The two people communicated in English, with a low voice, chatting and walking inside.

One of the waiters in the lobby noticed this and immediately came up and said in fluent English: "Hello, welcome, Miss Elena and Miss Jessica, right? ”

The booking system has advantages and disadvantages for Ming Yun private chefs.

The downside is that everyone who wants to come to dinner has to make an appointment a month or two in advance, and if they want to eat a meal, they have to wait a long time.

But this also brings some advantages, such as a fixed number of guests eating each day, never feeling crowded in a Mingyun private chef, and ensuring the privacy of the Guests when eating; at the same time, the waiter can roughly seat each guest on an appointment and be prepared in advance.

This time, Lin Chan Rong arranged for a waiter who had been transferred from Jingzhou's more famous simultaneous interpreter.

This little brother is called Jano and his English name is Lucas. He has been working in simultaneous interpretation for several years and is famous locally in Jingzhou, but is worried about the prospects for work, because the simultaneous interpretation work, though expensive, is too tiring, so consider moving.

Lin Chan Rong pays this little brother 40,000 a month. He only needs to be received when guests come to dine abroad. He can host up to 8 times a month, which will add extra money if exceeded.

The price seems high, but not high compared to Jano's original simultaneous translation work.

In the past, Jano's service target was mainly foreign companies, with a quotation rate of 8,000 days, but this was calculated on an eight-hour work basis, and in the case of meetings of around four hours, it was generally quoted at around 4,000 to 5,000.

After all, this is 2011, and in a few more years, the offer should be even higher.

Some people who do not understand would feel that Jano's monthly salary should be 100,000 if calculated on the basis of 22 working days per month, but obviously not so.

Simultaneous interpretation is a very tiring task, and it takes a lot of prep work, even a week or two, to prepare for a major business meeting, and it takes a lot of time and energy, and continuous work takes a heavy toll on health.

Jano's hourly wage, while apparently high, is actually just 450,000 a year.

Therefore, Jano accepted Lin Chan Rong's invitation. On the one hand, he has a stable monthly salary. If he happens to have no guests this month, he can get 40,000 yuan if he lies at home. Even if he receives more than 8 receptions this month, Lin Store Manager will add extra money according to the same price standard, how can he not lose?

And for Lin Chan Rong, he thinks it is necessary to find such a professional.

Although it can be difficult when no foreign friends arrive, Jano, as a private chef in Ming Yun, has to specialize in English vocabulary for dining, familiarize himself with recipes and details of various dishes, and undergo specialized service training, including rituals, language, facial expressions management, etc.

For Lin Chan Rong, it is also very cost-effective to pay a floor salary of 40,000.

Besides, there is a difference between good and bad translations.

The food and beverage is perfectly fragrant and the name given to the food is as poetic as possible. When explaining to foreign friends, simply conveying the meaning, or translating it with confidence, are two completely different concepts.

When Jessica heard this fluent English and saw Jano Junluang's face, she immediately smiled.

Let's just say this is a face-watching world...

Jano led the two people to the largest bakery, where the tableware, tables and chairs had already been arranged for two, and the decorations had been changed.

Dining items were booked before, so there is no menu.

Because most of Ming Yun's private cooks have special ingredients, and some dishes even have dozens of processes to prepare in advance, it is impossible to eat them on-site.

Elena smiled and said, "Lucas, I hope it's not too much to say for our reserved friends that we ordered the two most complex dishes on your side, the most unique, and the new one of the month. ”

“In fact, my friend Jessica has been biased against Chinese food, and I look forward to seeing you guys turn it around for me today. ”
