Chapter 541: Mingyun's Private Chef's Foreign Customers (Four More Requests for Monthly Tickets!) )
Monday, June 6.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Pei Qian slept until he woke up naturally.
The gaming experience with Ruan Guangjian on the weekend made him not very interested in the past two days, and he was a little autistic at home and didn't want to go to work.
After getting up and washing, Pei Qian took out two small cakes and a box of milk from the refrigerator, prepared to deal with the two mouthfuls, and then continued to clear the game that he didn't finish yesterday.
Because the room is in a minimalist style, which is commonly known as the "four-wall style of the family", Pei Qian can only go to the small coffee table next to the big balcony to eat.
This small coffee table is one of the few pieces of furniture left in the entire living room, and there are two small chairs next to it, mainly for looking at the scenery outside, drinking tea, etc.
The two small cakes were quickly eliminated, and Pei Qian threw the garbage into the trash can and left it alone, anyway, there was cleaning.
As soon as I sat down on the couch and picked up the handle, the doorbell rang.
"Huh?" Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, got up and opened the door.
The housekeeper stood outside the door, holding a boxy box in his hand: "Mr. Pei, this is the express sent to you by Dream Venture Capital, do you need to help you move in?" ”
The housekeeper's name is Song Kai, 26 years old, who has had the experience of being a house housekeeper in a rental company before, and is also a candidate for Assistant Xin's recruitment, and the work has been completed well so far.
Of course, there was no work.
Since coming to the sloth apartment, Song Kai has often been a little skeptical about life.
Pei Qian thought about it for a while, if there was only one person in charge of the sloth apartment, Liang Qingfan, he was obviously too busy, even if the project would never catch fire, the building management and cleaning of each building still had to be recruited.
As long as there is a resident in this building, you have to hire at least one cleaner.
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, who is responsible for the design work and the on-site construction.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that he was interested in observing Song Kai for a few days, and if he felt that this person was okay, he would let him serve as the person in charge of the sloth apartment and help Liang Qingfan.
"Unbox, just give me the stuff." Pei Qian said.
Song Kai opened the box, took out the boxy black box inside, and handed it to Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian stretched out his hand to take it, and found that this thing was still heavy, heavier than expected, but it was not so bad that it could not be moved.
This is an improved version of the automatic bar lifting machine, and Zhang Yu directly arranged for someone to mail it to Pei Qian's residence.
Song Kai closed the door intimately, and then took the empty box away.
Pei Qian was holding the automatic bar lifting machine and looked around in the living room blankly.
There's nowhere to put it!
This thing is not big or small, it is not small to say, it can't be placed as an ornament on the bookshelf, and it will be too small to be placed as a cabinet in the corner of the room or next to the TV cabinet, which looks very strange.
In short, this strange size simply made Pei Qian very satisfied.
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 you and reaching it just right, and the operation of "lifting the bar" is also very convenient.
"Very good, Zhang Yu, I will trust you again, if this project can succeed and make me lose, then I will vote for any project you have in the future!"
The system obviously has restrictions on the backlog of goods, and it can't be produced brainlessly and endlessly when the goods have been obviously backlogged, but the backlog of 20,000 or 30,000 units should not be a big problem.
That is to say, as long as this project meets Pei Qian's expectations, the automatic bar lifting machine will not be sold, and there will be a backlog of twenty or thirty thousand units, and it will be easy to burn millions.
Pei Qian began to carefully inspect this fully automatic bar lifting machine that he had high hopes for.
Compared with the previous samples made by Zhang Yu, the new automatic bar lifting machine is several times larger, and the whole is pure black, matte texture, but there are bright gold edges at some edges, which looks quite low-key and luxurious.
Pei Qian first came to a wave of "lifting the bar" operation.
Every time the bar is raised, the automatic bar lifter will be lifted back again, so that the whole machine will return to its original state.
If the bar is lifted many times in a row, the automatic bar lifting machine will also restore the metal stick that has been lifted in the corresponding order, and until it is completely restored, it is considered to be a state of "continuous bar lifting".
At this point, a reading will be displayed on the box in a purely mechanical way, and once all the sticks have been restored and the "continuous bar lifting" state is over, the number on the box will be cleared to zero, and it will return to the state of a pure black box.
In addition, Pei Qian also noticed that the materials inside the box also seemed to have been improved, the Y-shaped stick had become golden, and the shape seemed to have been redesigned, full of finely crafted texture.
After all, the cost has doubled, from 200 to 400, and all these costs are spent on these useless details.
Pei Qian played for two minutes before losing interest in it.
It's such a thing, who wants to buy it for 488? It's definitely a brain in the water!
First of all, it doesn't make any practical sense at all.
Secondly, it is a pure black box with gold edges, even if it has a bit of frosted texture, not too many people will use it as an ornament, after all, the decorations that can be bought at the same price are definitely much better than it.
Pei Qian was very satisfied and immediately called He Desheng.
"I have received the automatic bar lifting machine, the effect is very good, immediately pay for it, and mass production immediately! Well...... Is it cheaper to do more? Let's stock 20,000 units first! ”
The first batch of 20,000 units was produced, and if all of them were stored in the warehouse, 8 million would be wiped out in an instant.
Of course, if it doesn't sell well in the early stage, Pei Qian will also consider continuing to increase stocking, but how much it can be increased depends on the face of the system.
But in any case, Pei Qian has high hopes for the fully automatic bar lifting machine developed by Zhang Yu's strong return!

……
June 7th, 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 "Nameless Restaurant", which is talked about because its name cannot be searched on the Internet at all.
Two tall blondes 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 spot that a very good local friend of mine booked two months in advance, and I'm here for the first time, so I think whether or not this restaurant deserves its local fame, let's complain after eating."
"Okay, but if the stuff here doesn't taste good, I won't look good."
"You don't need to say it, so do I."
The two of them were communicating in English, and their voices were not high, and they walked inside while chatting.
One of the waiters in the hall noticed this, and immediately walked up and said in fluent English, "Hello, welcome, it's Miss Elena and Miss Jessica, right?" ”
The reservation system has both advantages and disadvantages for Mingyun's private chefs.
The disadvantage is that everyone who wants to come to eat has to make an appointment one to two months in advance, and if you want to eat a meal, you have to wait a long time.
But this also brings some advantages, such as the number of guests dining every day is fixed, Mingyun Private Kitchen will never feel crowded, and the privacy of guests during the meal can be guaranteed; At the same time, the waiter can roughly seat each visitor according to the reservation and make some preparations in advance.
This time, Lin Canrong specially arranged a waiter who was once a well-known simultaneous interpreter in Jingzhou to receive him.
This young brother's name is Jia Nuo, English name is Lucas, he has been working as a simultaneous interpreter for several years, and he is very famous in Jingzhou, but he is worried about the prospect of the job, because although the salary of simultaneous interpreting is high, it is too tiring, so he considered changing careers.
Lin Canrong's salary for this little brother is 40,000 yuan per month, and he only needs to come to receive foreign guests when they come to eat, up to 8 times a month, and if it is exceeded, additional money will be added.
This may seem like a high price, but it's not too high compared to Jano's original simultaneous interpreting job.
In the past, Jianuo's service target was mainly some foreign companies, and the quotation standard was 8000/day, but this was calculated according to the hourly work system, if it was a meeting of about 4 hours, it would generally be quoted about 4000 to 5000.
After all, this is 2011, and if it is a few years later, the offer should be even higher.
Some people who don't understand will think that Giano's monthly salary should be 100,000 if calculated based on 22 working days per month, but obviously this is not the case.
Simultaneous interpreting is a very tiring job, and when you are in charge of a large business meeting, you have to do a lot of preparatory work, even a week or two to prepare, which consumes a lot of time and energy, and continuous work is very depleting to your health.
Although Jano's hourly salary seems to be very high, his annual income is actually four or five hundred thousand.
Therefore, Jia Nuo accepted Lin Canrong'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 while lying at home; Even if there are more than 8 receptions this month, Store Manager Lin will add extra money according to the price standard of simultaneous interpretation, and there will be no loss.
For Lin Canrong, he thinks it is necessary to find such a professional.
Although it will be a loss when there are no foreign friends, Jia Nuo, as a waiter in Mingyun's private kitchen, has to learn English vocabulary in catering, memorize the recipes and details of various meals, and undergo special service training, including manners, wording, expression management, etc.
For Lin Canrong, it is also very cost-effective to pay a basic salary of 40,000 yuan for this.
What's more, there is a world of difference between the quality of the translation.
The food is full of color, flavor and flavor, and the name of the meal is as poetic as possible. When explaining to foreign friends, simply conveying the meaning or translating it as Xindaya are two completely different concepts.
Jessica immediately had a smile on her face when she heard this fluent English and saw Jano's handsome appearance.
It can only be said that this is a world of faces......
Jano led the two of them to the largest private room, where the tableware, tables and chairs had already been arranged for two people, and the decorations in the private room had been replaced.
The meals were all pre-booked, so there was no menu.
Because most of the dishes in Mingyun's private kitchen, the ingredients are special, and some dishes even have dozens of processes, which must be prepared in advance, so it is impossible to eat them on demand.
Elena smiled and said, "Lucas, the friend who booked for us said that he ordered two of the most complex and unique dishes on your side, and they are new 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 you being able to turn it around for her for me today."
