Monday, June 6.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Pei Qian fell asleep and woke up naturally.
The game experience with Ruan Guangjian over the weekend made him not very interested in the past two days. He was a little autistic at home and didn't really want to go to work.
After getting up and taking a shower, Pei Qian took out two small cakes and a box of milk from the refrigerator, ready to deal with two bites, and then continued to clear the game that was not finished yesterday.
Because the room was in a minimalist style, commonly known as the "Family Disciple with Four Walls", so Pei Qian could only eat on the small coffee table next to the balcony.
This small coffee table is one of the few remaining pieces of furniture in the entire living room, and there are two small chairs next to it. The main purpose is to look at the scenery outside, drink tea and so on.
The two small cakes were quickly wiped out. Pei Qian threw the rubbish into the trash can and didn't care. Anyway, there was cleaning.
As soon as I sat down on the sofa and picked up the handle, the doorbell rang.
"Huh?" Pei Qian froze for a moment, then got up and opened the door.
The housekeeper stood outside the door, holding a boxy box in his hand: "Mr. Pei, this is a courier from Yuanmeng Ventures, do you need to help you move in?"
The housekeeper's name is Song Kai, 26 years old. He had experience as a house housekeeper in a rental company before, and he was also the candidate chosen by Assistant Xin. So far, the work has been done well.
Of course, there was no work at all.
Since coming to the sloth apartment, Song Kai has often been idle and doubtful about life.
Pei Qian thought about it. If only Liang Qingfan was the person in charge of the sloth apartment, it would be too busy. Even if the project never caught fire, the management and cleaning of each building would still have to be recruited.
As long as the building has one occupant, at least one cleaner must be hired.
When there are more and more houses in the future, Liang Qingfan can't be allowed to do these things, right
After all, he is an architect, and he is responsible for the design work as well as the on-site construction.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that he wanted to observe Song Kai for a few days. If he felt that this person was okay, let him also serve as the person in charge of the next sloth apartment to help Liang Qingfan.
"Unpack it, just give it to me." Pei Qian said.
Song Kai opened the box, took out the boxy black box inside, and handed it to President Pei.
Pei Qian reached out and took it, and found that this thing was still heavy, heavier than expected, but it couldn't be moved.
This is an improved version of the fully automatic bar lifter. Zhang Juan directly arranged for it to be mailed to Pei Qian's residence.
Song Kai closed the door thoughtfully, then took the empty box away.
Pei Qian looked around in the living room blankly while holding the fully automatic bar lifter.
No place to put it!
This thing is not too big or too small. It can't be placed on a bookshelf as an ornament, and it will be too small as a cabinet in the corner of the room or next to the TV cabinet, which is very strange.
In a word, Pei Qian is very satisfied with this strange size.
After looking around, Pei Qian still put it on the small coffee table where he had breakfast before.
Not to mention, it's quite suitable. Sitting on the chair next to it can be reached with just reaching out, and the operation of "lifting the bar" is also very smooth.
"Very good, Zhang Huan, I will trust you again. If this project succeeds in making me lose money, I will vote for any project you have in the future!"
Obviously, the system also has restrictions on the backlog of goods, and it can't be mindless and endless when the goods are obviously backlogged.
That is to say, as long as this project meets Pei Qian's expectations, the fully automatic bar lifter will not be sold, there will be a backlog of 20,000 to 30,000 units, and it will be easy to burn several million.
Pei Qian began to carefully examine the fully automatic bar lifter that he had given him high hopes for.
Compared with the samples made by Zhang Wang before, the new automatic bar lifter is several times larger. The whole is pure black and has a matte texture, but there are bright gold edges on some edges, which looks quite low-key and luxurious. Feel.
Pei Qian came first with a wave of "lifting the bar".
Every time the bar is lifted, the fully automatic bar lifter will lift it back up again to restore the entire machine to its original state.
If the bar is lifted several times in a row, the fully automatic bar lifter will restore the lifted metal stick in the corresponding order.
At this time, a reading will be displayed on the box in a purely mechanical way. Once all the small sticks are restored and the "continuous lifting of the sticks" state ends, the numbers on the box will be cleared and return to the state of a pure black box.
In addition, Pei Qian also noticed that the materials inside the box also seemed to be improved. The Y-shaped stick became golden, and the shape seemed to have been redesigned, full of meticulously crafted texture.
After all, the cost has doubled from 200 to 400 yuan, and these costs are all spent on these useless details.
Pei Qian lost interest in it after playing for two minutes.
It's just such a piece of shit, who wants to buy it for 488? Absolutely mind blowing!
First, it has absolutely no practical meaning.
Secondly, it is a pure black box with gold edges. Even if it has a frosted texture, not many people will use it as a decoration. After all, the decorations that can be bought at the same price are definitely better than it. Too much.
Pei Qian was very satisfied and immediately called He Desheng.
"I have already received the fully automatic bar lifter. The effect is very good. Immediately pay for it and mass-produce it immediately! Hmm... Is it cheaper to make the more you make? Let's stock up on 20,000 units first!"
The first batch produced 20,000 units first, and if all were backlogged in the warehouse, 8 million units would be killed in an instant.
Of course, if the sales are not good in the early stage, Pei Qian will consider continuing to increase the stock, but how much it can increase depends on the system's face.
But in any case, Pei Qian has high hopes for the fully automatic bar lifter developed by Zhang Zhang's strong return!
…
…
June 7, dinner time.
Mingyun Private Kitchen.
The so-called "Mingyun Private Kitchen" is Tengda's internal name, and the official name of the outside world is "unnamed restaurant".
Two tall blond girls came to the main entrance of the villa.
"Elena, I didn't expect this place to be so remote... If I had known, I wouldn't have come with you."
"Okay Jessica, this is a place reserved by a very good local friend of mine two months in advance, and it's my first time here. I think whether this restaurant deserves its local fame or not, Complain after eating."
"Okay, but if the food here is not delicious, I won't have a good face."
"You don't need to say it, so do I."
The two communicated in English, with a low voice, and walked inside while chatting.
A waiter in the hall noticed this and immediately walked up and said in fluent English, "Hello, welcome, Miss Elena and Miss Jessica, right?"
The reservation system has advantages and disadvantages for Mingyun Private Kitchen.
The disadvantage is that all people who want to come to eat have to make an appointment one to two months in advance. If they want to eat a meal, they have to wait for a long time.
But this also brings some advantages. For example, the number of guests dining is fixed every day, Mingyun Private Kitchen will never feel crowded, and the privacy of guests can be guaranteed when dining; at the same time, waiters can Make an appointment to roughly seat every visitor and make some preparations in advance.
This time, Lin Canrong specially arranged for a waiter who had been a famous simultaneous interpreter in Jingzhou to change careers to receive him.
This little brother is called Jia Nuo, whose English name is Lucas. He has done simultaneous interpreting work for several years and is very famous in Jingzhou, but he is worried about the prospect of the job, because the simultaneous interpreting job has high income, but Too tired, so consider changing careers.
Lin Canrong offered this little brother a monthly salary of 40,000 yuan. He only needed to receive foreign guests when they came to dine. He received a maximum of 8 times a month. If the salary exceeded, extra money would be added.
The price may seem high, but it is not high compared to Giano's original simultaneous interpretation work.
In the past, Jia Nuo’s service targets were mainly some foreign companies, and the quotation standard was 8,000 per day, but this was calculated according to the hourly work system. If the meeting was about 4 hours, the quotation was generally around 4,000 to 5,000.
This is 2011 after all, and if it's a few more years, the price should be even higher.
Some people who don't understand will think that Jia Nuo's monthly salary should be 100,000 if it is calculated based on 22 working days per month, but it is obviously not calculated like this.
Simultaneous interpreting is a very tiring job, and a large amount of preparatory work is required to prepare for a large-scale business meeting, even for a week or two, which consumes a lot of time and energy, and continuous work is very harmful to health.
Although Jia Nuo's hourly salary looks high, in fact, his annual income is only 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Therefore, Jia Nuo accepted Lin Canrong's invitation. On the one hand, he had a stable monthly salary. If he happened to have no customers this month, he could get 40,000 yuan while lying down at home; even if there were more than 8 receptions this month, Manager Lin would not Additional money will be added according to the price standard of simultaneous interpretation, so it is not a loss.
For Lin Canrong, he thinks it is necessary to find such a professional.
Although it will be a loss when no foreign friends come, but as the waiter of Mingyun Private Kitchen, Jia Nuo has to learn English vocabulary in catering, memorize the recipes and details of various meals, and go through special Service training, including manners, wording, expression management, etc.
For Lin Canrong, paying a basic salary of 40,000 yuan is also very cost-effective.
What's more, there is a world of difference in the quality of translation.
Catering pays attention to all colors and flavors, and the name of the food is as poetic as possible. When explaining to foreign friends, it is two completely different concepts to simply convey the meaning, or to translate it faithfully and elegantly.
When Jessica heard this fluent English and saw Jia Nuo's handsome appearance, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
It can only be said that this is a world that sees faces...
Jia Nuo led the two people to the largest private room. The tableware, table and chairs on the dining table had already been arranged for two people, and the decoration in the private room had also been changed.
Meals are also pre-ordered, so there is no menu.
Because most of Mingyun Private Kitchen's meals have special ingredients, and some dishes even have dozens of procedures, which must be prepared in advance, so it is impossible to order and eat.
Elena smiled and said, "Lucas, the friend who made the reservation for us said that he ordered two dishes with the most complicated process and the most unique taste on your side, and they are new products this month. I hope this is not an exaggeration. "
"Actually, this friend of mine, Jessica, has always had some prejudice against Chinese food, and I'm looking forward to seeing you guys turn it around for me today."
