Saturday, April 9th.
Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store.
After finishing the preparatory work for the two game departments and the gym, Pei Qian planned to enjoy this rare and leisurely weekend.
In Moyu Internet Cafe, I found a place by the window, sipping coffee leisurely, watching the street scene outside, thinking about what to do next.
The movie's box office split seems to be coming, and it will be a huge sum of money.
Pei Qian has already thought about how to spend the money: make an apartment project.
Just like managed fitness, you can not only lose money, but also use it as employee benefits, double the happiness, and kill two birds with one stone!
Of course, this amount of money is a little bit more, and it has to be planned before spending.
Pei Qian pondered that he could sell a building properly and try it out after transforming it into an apartment. If everything went well, he would use the remaining money to rent an apartment for renovation.
The system prohibits real estate speculation, that is to say, the purchased house must be engaged in production and business activities, and cannot be idle, nor can it be hoarded to raise prices.
Whether it is opening a restaurant or a hotel, it can be counted as a production and business activity.
But before Pei Qian bought the villa of Mingyun Private Kitchen, he never thought of buying a house, mainly because the initial system funds in the previous cycles were too low.
Fixed assets should be converted into system funds according to 10% of the value, which will affect settlement.
Assuming that buying a building cost 30 to 40 million yuan, it is equivalent to 30 million to 4 million yuan after conversion. The initial system capital in the last cycle was only 10 million yuan, and it took 30 to 40% of it all at once.
In this way, the difficulty of losing is too high, and it is easy to play off.
In this cycle, the initial system capital has reached 20 million, and spending 30 to 40 million to buy a building will not have such a big impact on settlement.
Of course, there is a risk in doing so: house prices could rise.
After considering this factor, Pei Qian decided to continue buying properties, mainly for three reasons.
First, the world has changed a lot from the situation in my memory, and housing prices may not necessarily rise so fast; The increase is certainly far less than the growth rate of the initial system funds.
According to the current situation, the initial system capital will increase by at least 10 million yuan every six months, which means that it is very cost-effective for Pei Qian to spend about 30 million to 50 million yuan to buy fixed assets in each cycle.
This can be thought of as a fixed overhead per cycle.
In addition, Pei Qian had to go to see the situation of Yuanmeng Ventures and Zhang Yuan.
Since the last time he arranged a job for Lao Ma, it seems that he has not found a new investment project.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this and did not intend to rush it.
But in order to prevent Ma Yang and He Desheng from working behind closed doors for a long time and accidentally making too much noise, Pei Qian still has to be vigilant at all times.
On Zhang Yuan's side, although he said he wanted to set up an e-sports club, it seems that he himself is not very concerned about this matter, and it is still in the preparatory stage.
Pei Qian also planned to take time to visit and give him "guidance".
In addition to this, there are some other trivia:
Pei Qian felt that the main problem of his repeated defeats was that he was not well informed, and planned to find a way to allow him to monitor the movements of various departments at any time;
The task of "investing in yourself" given by the system is not yet in sight;
Other industries that don't seem to be threatening at present also need to be paid attention to at all times. Maybe which industry suddenly pops up and gives itself a backstab...
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more melancholy he felt.
Life is lonely as snow.
While feeling melancholy, Pei Qian saw a familiar figure push the door and enter Moyu Internet Cafe.
"Huh? President Pei?"
"Rare customer, rare customer."
Ruan Guangjian was surprised when he saw Pei Qian sitting in the corner drinking coffee.
Pei Qian: "?"
Wait a minute, what does "rare guest" mean
I've been busy with work recently, and it's true that I haven't been to this Moyu Internet Cafe for a while, but if I remember correctly, this Moyu Internet Cafe is my business, right
Ruan Guangjian also instantly realized that there was something wrong with this statement, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Ah, sorry Mr. Pei, I was thinking about something, and my brain twitched."
"This Internet cafe was originally opened by you, hahahaha."
“I have to say, the coffee is pretty good.”
At present, Ruan Guangjian is the number one person in President Pei's notebook.
Originally, Qiao Laoshi was also a strong competitor, but Pei Qian had also made Qiao Laoshi shriveled after all, so he was tolerant of Qiao Laoshi.
And other people in small books, as long as they come to a set of roller coaster, big pendulum, bungee jumping, and haunted house, they will basically obey.
Only Ruan Guangjian was a complete outlier!
Play the roller coaster and the big pendulum, the more you play, the more exciting;
He kept saying that he was afraid of ghosts, and when he arrived at the haunted house, he shouted louder than anyone else, but when he came out, he was refreshed and flushed!
This is simply an ultimate meat shield with full physical resistance and magic resistance. All of President Pei's attack methods are not worth mentioning in front of him.
If you want revenge, you can only use real damage.
But Pei Qian does not currently have such means.
So he could only let Ruan Guangjian jump around on his face and show off his might.
Pei Qian drank coffee, smiled and said, "How are things going after moving to Jingzhou? Are you uncomfortable? If you don't, I think it would be better to go to the Devil's Capital..."
Before Pei Qian's words were finished, Ruan Guangjian had already said, "Don't worry, President Pei, adapt, it's too adaptable!"
"People in our studio even regretted moving late!"
"Should have moved to Jingzhou when the studio was first established!"
Pei Qian stopped in the air with his coffee raised: "?"
Originally wanted to be angry, but Ruan Guangjian seemed to be caring and greeting
A waiter came over next to him with two large paper bags in his hands, which seemed to contain seven or eight cups of coffee.
"Brother Ruan, your coffee is ready."
Ruan Guangjian reached out and took it: "Okay, thank you."
It seems that Ruan Guangjian should come here often, and the waiters are already familiar with him. These coffees should also be ordered by calling in advance, just come and pick them up.
Pei Qian was a little surprised: "The boss of the studio came to get coffee for the employees in person?"
Ruan Guangjian smiled: "I just wanted to come out to relax. Usually, everyone takes turns to get coffee."
"Do you have time, Mr. Pei, why don't you come to our studio for a walk?"
Pei Qian instinctively wanted to refuse.
I have nothing to do, why should I go to see the arsenal that develops backstab weapons
But then I thought about it again, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, one hundred battles will not be lost.
Now that the enemy has driven straight in, deep into the hinterland of Jingzhou, and the danger is around, it is better to investigate the enemy's situation and prepare in advance.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian stood up: "Alright, turn around."
Ruan Guangjian carried the coffee, walked across the street with Pei Qian, and entered the Halo Studio.
This is Pei Qian's first visit to Halo Studio.
This was originally a second-floor bookstore, but it could no longer be opened and was forced to sell. Ruan Guangjian took a fancy to this store, which is diagonally opposite to Moyu Internet Cafe, and is also very close to Shenhua Luxury View, so he happily rented it.
After entering the studio, Pei Qian's first feeling was that spring was full of joy and artistic atmosphere.
The indoor temperature is suitable, and the warm sunlight enters through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving people a warm feeling.
Doors, tables, and corners are filled with all kinds of green plants, and there are many works of art used for decoration, including sculptures, portraits, and more.
The tables and chairs and overall layout of the workstations are also quite casual, but not cluttered, apparently carefully planned.
The whole environment gives a relaxed and laid-back feeling, an environment that can fully stimulate imagination and creativity.
Some people have noticed Pei Qian who came in with Ruan Guangjian and greeted them one after another.
"Huh? President Pei!"
"Hello, Mr. Pei!"
"Welcome to come often, Mr. Pei!"
One by one, they are very enthusiastic.
After all, in everyone's mind, Pei is always Ruan Guangjian's confidant and friend, an important partner of Halo Studio, and a golden thigh that everyone can hug in Jingzhou.
In Pei Qian's view, if Ruan Guangjian was the assassin who finally stabbed the knife into his back, then these people were the ones who pushed him behind so that the knife could be inserted deeper.
One thing to say, one must remember in the small book!
However, Mr. Pei is a quality person after all. Facing everyone's warm welcome, he also smiled and waved in response.
Ruan Guangjian handed the coffee to a buddy next to him: "Old Huang, you can share it, and I will show President Pei around."
Pei Qian followed Ruan Guangjian upstairs and walked around the entire studio.
Ruan Guangjian sighed while introducing the details of the studio.
"It was a very correct decision to come to Jingzhou!"
"The price of goods in Jingzhou itself is a lot lower than that of the magic capital."
"Whether it is renting a house or daily expenses, it can save a lot of money."
"The studio is bigger, the working environment has improved, everyone's work efficiency has been significantly improved, and their mental and physical conditions have also improved."
"Also, life is very convenient!"
"Now all our work meals are ordered from Moyu, which is nutritious, healthy and delicious, and the price is not expensive."
"Moyu Internet Cafe and Headwind Logistics have also greatly improved the happiness of life."
"The most important thing is that as long as there is Tengda Group, life in Jingzhou will become more and more convenient, and the overall economic development will become better and better. Such prospects are not available in general second-tier cities... "
After listening to Ruan Guangjian's introduction, Pei Qian had only one feeling.
Just heartbroken.
Look, this is totally unrepentant!
When I came to Jingzhou, I immediately abandoned the magic capital.
Scumbag!
However, Pei Qian could indeed see his love for Jingzhou from Ruan Guangjian's excited expression.
Hey, it looks like it's impossible to drive Halo Studios away...
Sad.
Ruan Guangjian walked around with Pei Qian and returned to his workstation.
There is no separate office, on the one hand, because of the need to learn from each other, make progress together, and find inspiration in exchanges; on the other hand, because Ruan Guangjian is responsible for the acceptance of all projects to ensure the consistency of the painting style.
Pei Qian noticed that Ruan Guangjian's computer screen was an extremely detailed portrait.
About a quarter of the lower left corner of the screen is a photo of a real person.
Caucasian, looking in his forties, handsome, with a kind expression, not much else to impress.
What surprised Pei Qian even more was that this portrait was not drawn exactly according to the photo. It not only enriched many details that were not originally there, but also modified the image of this person in some respects.
For example, there are some wrinkles on the face of the model, but it does not give people the feeling of aging and vicissitudes, but enhances the charm;
The beard and hairstyle have been carefully trimmed, especially the beard, which is obviously the appearance of very rich and free people who have leisure time to take care of them;
His demeanor has also changed. He used to be very kind, but now he looks ambitious, with a strong self-confidence in his eyes;
The originally slightly bald hairline was completely made up, and the lush hair seemed to show his strong vitality.
If the photo is "a middle-aged white man in decent shape," then the portrait is "an elite white man at his peak in every way."
Comparing photos and portraits, Pei Qian deeply understands what is called "artistic exaggeration and reprocessing".
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The painting is really good! If this person's original appearance is 70 points, this portrait will directly reach 95 points."
"Not only the original appearance features are retained, but also the appearance characteristics are further highlighted, and the temperament has been comprehensively improved!"
"Is this some kind of daily practice for your artists?"
"Find a random photo, and then draw a vivid character on the basis of this photo?"
"The road of art really never stops."
Pei Qian looked at this portrait with great interest and praised it.
Ruan Guangjian's expression was a little strange: "Uh... President Pei."
"We have a tight schedule. Generally speaking, we don't have so much time to do such fine painting exercises."
"This is our recent work content... Can't you see it? This is the latest art demand from Tenda Games."
"The rich protagonist in "Struggle"."
Pei Qian: "..."
Accidents always come so unexpectedly.
