Monday, June 6th.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Pei Qian woke up naturally after sleeping.
The weekend gaming experience with Ruan Guangjian made him not very interested in the past two days. He was a little autistic at home and didn't want to go to work.
After getting up and washing up, Pei Qian took out two small cakes and a carton of milk from the refrigerator, preparing for two mouthfuls, and then continued to finish the game he had not finished yesterday.
Because the room is in a minimalist style, which is commonly known as "house style", Pei Qian can only eat on the small coffee table next to the large balcony.
This small coffee table is one of the few remaining pieces of furniture in the entire living room. There are two small chairs next to it. It is mainly used to look at the scenery outside and drink tea.
The two small cakes were quickly destroyed. Pei Qian threw the garbage into the trash can and ignored it. There was cleaning anyway.
As soon as I sat down on the sofa and picked up the handle, the doorbell rang.
"Huh?" Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, then stood up and opened the door.
The housekeeper stood outside the door, holding a square box in his hand: "Mr. Pei, this is a courier sent to you by Dream Venture Capital. Do you need help moving it in? ”
The housekeeper’s name is Song Kai, 26 years old. He has previous experience as a house housekeeper in a rental company. He is also the candidate chosen by Assistant Xin. So far, he has done a good job.
Of course, there was no job.
Since arriving at Sloth Apartment, Song Kai has often been so idle that he has doubts about life.
Pei Qian thought about it. If there is only one person in charge of Sloth Apartment, Liang Qingfan, it will obviously be too busy. Even if this project never becomes popular, the building management and cleaning staff of each building will still be there. To be recruited.
As long as there is one resident in this building, at least one cleaner must be hired.
When there are more and more houses in the future, we can’t let Liang Qingfan do these things, right?
After all, he is an architect and is responsible for both design work and on-site construction.
So, Pei Qian decided to observe Song Kai for a few days. If he felt that this person was passable, he would let him serve as the person in charge of the Sloth Apartment to help Liang Qingfan.
"Unpack it and just give it to me." Pei Qian said.
Song Kai opened the box, took out the square black box inside, and handed it to President Pei.
Pei Qian reached out and took it, and found that it was quite heavy. It was heavier than expected, but it was not too heavy to move.
This is an improved version of the fully automatic bar lifter. Zhang Wang directly arranged for someone to mail it to Pei Qian's residence.
Song Kai closed the door thoughtfully and took away the empty box.
Pei Qian was holding the fully automatic bar lift machine and looking around blankly in the living room.
There is no place to put it!
This thing is neither big nor small. It can be placed on a bookshelf as a decoration but cannot be placed as a cabinet.If placed in the corner of the room or next to the TV cabinet, it would be too small and look strange.
In short, this weird size makes Pei Qian very satisfied.
After looking around, Pei Qian placed it on the small coffee table where he had breakfast.
Not to mention, it’s quite suitable. You can reach it just right when you sit on the chair next to you, and the operation of “lifting the bar” is also very smooth.
"Very good, Zhang Wang, I will trust you again. If this project can succeed and make me lose money, then I will invest in any of your projects from now on!"
System There are obviously restrictions on the backlog of goods. We cannot continue production without thinking when there is already a clear backlog of goods. However, a backlog of 20,000 to 30,000 units should not be a big problem.
In other words, as long as this project meets Pei Qian's expectations, the fully automatic bar lifter cannot be sold. If there is a backlog of 20,000 to 30,000 units, it will be easy to burn millions.
Pei Qian began to carefully examine this fully automatic bar lifter that he had high hopes for.
Compared with the previous samples produced by Zhang Wang, the new fully automatic bar lifter is several times larger. The whole is pure black with a matte texture, but there are bright gold edges on some edges, which makes it look quite large. It has a low-key yet luxurious feel.
Pei Qian first made a wave of "provoking" operations.
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 also restore the lifted metal stick in the corresponding order. Until it is fully restored, it is considered a "continuous bar lift" state.
At this time, a reading will be displayed on the box in a purely mechanical way. Once all the sticks are restored and the "continuous lifting of bars" state ends, the numbers on the box will be cleared and the box will return to a pure black box. status.
In addition, Pei Qian also noticed that the materials inside the box seemed to have been improved. The Y-shaped stick became golden, and the shape seemed to have been redesigned, full of exquisite carvings. Finely crafted texture.
After all, the cost has doubled, from 200 yuan to 400 yuan. All these costs are spent on these useless details.
Pei Qian lost interest in it after playing for two minutes.
Who wants to spend 488 on such a crappy thing? I'm definitely out of my mind!
First of all, 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, it can be bought at the same price. The decorations are definitely much prettier than that.
Pei Qian was very satisfied and immediately called He Desheng.
"I have received the fully automatic bar lifter. The effect is very good. I will spend money immediately and mass-produce it immediately! Hmm... Is it cheaper to make more of them? Then stock up on 20,000 units first! ”
The first batch of 20,000 units will be produced first. If they are all backlogged,In the warehouse, eight million people were killed in an instant.
Of course, if the early sales are not good, Pei Qian will consider continuing to increase stocking, but how much can be increased depends on the system.
But in any case, Pei Qian has high hopes for the fully automatic bar lift machine developed by Zhang Wang after his strong return!

……
June 7, dinner time.
Mingyun Private Kitchen.
The so-called "Mingyun Private Kitchen" is the internal name of Tenda. The official name outside is "Unknown Restaurant". It is talked about because its name cannot be found on the Internet.
Two tall blonde girls came to the main entrance of the villa.
"Elena, I didn't expect this place to be so remote... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come with you."
"Alright Jessica , this is a place that a very good local friend of mine made a reservation two months in advance. It is also my first time here. I think that regardless of whether this restaurant deserves its local reputation, I should finish the meal before complaining. "
"Okay, but if the food here is not delicious, I won't feel good about it."
"You don't need to tell me, I don't have it either. ”
The two people communicated in English, their voices were not high, and they walked inside while chatting.
A waiter in the lobby noticed this and immediately came up and said in fluent English: "Hello, welcome. Are they Miss Elena and Miss Jessica?"< /p>
The reservation system has advantages and disadvantages for Mingyun Private Kitchen.
The disadvantage is that everyone who wants to eat has to make a reservation one to two months in advance. If you want to have a meal, you have to wait for a long time.
But this also brings some advantages. For example, the number of guests dining every day is fixed, and Mingyun Private Kitchen will never feel crowded, and the privacy of guests can be guaranteed when dining. ; At the same time, the waiter can roughly seat each guest according to the reservation and make some preparations in advance.
This time Lin Canrong specially arranged for a waiter who was once a famous simultaneous interpreter in Jingzhou and changed his career to receive him.
This guy’s name is Jiano, his English name is Lucas. He has worked as a simultaneous interpreter for several years and is very famous in Jingzhou. However, he is worried about the future of his job because simultaneous interpreters Although my job paid well, it was too tiring, so I considered changing careers.
The salary offered by Lin Canrong to this young man is 40,000 yuan per month. He is only required to receive foreign guests when they come to dine. The maximum number of receptions is 8 times per month. If the number exceeds 40,000 yuan, additional money will be added.
The price seems high, but compared to Jano’s original simultaneous interpretation work, it is not high.
In the past, Jiano’s service targets were mainly foreign companies, and the quotation standard was 8,000/day, but this was calculated based on the hourly work system.For a meeting of about 4 hours, the price is generally quoted at about 4,000 to 5,000.
This is 2011 after all. If it were a few years later, the price would be even higher.
If some people who don’t understand calculate it based on 22 working days per month, they will think that Jano’s monthly salary should be 100,000, but this is obviously not the case.
Simultaneous interpretation is a very tiring job, and when you are responsible for a large-scale business meeting, you need to carry out a lot of preliminary preparation work, even one or two weeks of preparation, which consumes a lot of time and energy, and continuous work is necessary to The loss of health is great.
Although Jano’s hourly wage seems high, his actual annual income is only four to five million.
So, Jia Nuo accepted Lin Canrong’s invitation. On the one hand, he had a stable monthly salary. If there happened to be no guests this month, he could get 40,000 yuan just by lying at home; even if the reception this month exceeded Eight times, store manager Lin would also add extra money according to the price standard for simultaneous interpretation, and he would not lose money no matter what.
As for Lin Canrong, he believes that it is necessary to find such a professional.
Although it will be more disadvantageous when there are no foreign friends here, as a waiter at Mingyun Private Kitchen, Jia Nuo has to learn English vocabulary specifically about catering and memorize the recipes and recipes of various meals. Details require special service training, including manners, wording, expression management, etc.
For Lin Canrong, paying a basic salary of 40,000 yuan for this is also a good deal.
What's more, the quality of translation is also very different.
Catering pays attention to the color, flavor and taste, and the names of the meals are as poetic as possible. When explaining to foreign friends, whether to simply convey the meaning or to translate it faithfully and elegantly are two completely different concepts.
When Jessica heard this fluent English and saw Jano's handsome appearance, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
It can only be said that this is a world where faces are judged...
Jiano led the two people to the largest private room. The tableware, tables and chairs on the dining table had already been arranged. For two people, the decoration in the private room has also been changed.
The meals have all been reserved in advance, so there is no menu.
Because most of the meals at Mingyun Private Kitchen have special ingredients, and some dishes even require dozens of processes and need to be prepared in advance, so it is impossible to eat them freshly.
Elena smiled and said: "Lucas, the friend who made the reservation for us said that he would help us order two of your dishes with the most complicated process and the most unique taste, and they are new products this month. , I hope this is not an exaggeration."
"In fact, my friend Jessica has always had some prejudices against Chinese food, and I hope you can change it for her today."
