Chapter 541 Foreign Customers of Mingyun Private Kitchen
Monday, June 6.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Pei Qian woke up naturally after falling asleep.
The game experience with Ruan Guangjian on the weekend 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 to deal with the two, and then continued to clear the game that he hadn't finished yesterday.
Because the room is in a minimalist style, which is also commonly known as "the style of a house with bare walls", so 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 remaining pieces of furniture in the entire living room, and there are two small chairs next to it. It is mainly used for looking at the scenery outside, drinking tea and so on.
The two small cakes were quickly wiped out, 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 froze for a moment, got up and opened the door.
The butler stood outside the door, holding a boxy box in his hand: "Mr. Pei, this is a courier from Yuanmeng Venture Capital. Do you need to help you move it in?"
The housekeeper is Song Kai, 26 years old. He had the experience of being a house housekeeper in a rental company before, and he was also the candidate recruited by Assistant Xin. So far, the work has been done well.
Of course, there was no work at all.
Ever since he came to the sloth apartment, Song Kai often had some doubts about life.
Pei Qian thought about it. If Liang Qingfan was the only person in charge of the sloth apartment, it would obviously be too busy. Even if this project never catches fire, the building management and cleaning staff of each building would still have 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, Liang Qingfan can't let Liang Qingfan do these things, right?
After all, he is an architect, and he is responsible for the design work and the on-site construction.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that he wanted to observe Song Kai for a few days, and if he felt that this person was passable, let him serve as the person in charge of the sloth apartment to help Liang Qingfan.
"Unbox 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 Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian reached out to take it, and found that it was still heavy, heavier than expected, but it was not too heavy to move.
This is an improved version of the automatic bar lifter, and Zhang Huang directly arranged for someone to mail it to Pei Qian's residence.
Song Kai closed the door intimately, and took the empty box away.
Pei Qian was holding the fully automatic bar lifter, looking around in the living room blankly.
There is no place to put it!
This gadget is neither big nor small, it can’t fit on the bookshelf as an ornament, and it’s too small to be placed as a cabinet in the corner of the room or next to the TV cabinet, which looks very strange.
All in all, Pei Qian was very satisfied with this weird size.
After looking around, Pei Qian put it on the small coffee table where he had breakfast before.
Needless to say, it's quite suitable. Sitting on the chair next to it, you can just reach it with your hand, and the operation of "lifting the bar" is also very smooth.
"Very good, Zhang Huang, I will trust you again. If this project succeeds and makes me lose money, then I will vote for any project you have in the future!"
The system obviously has restrictions on the backlog of goods. It cannot be produced without thinking and endlessly when the backlog of goods is already obvious, but 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 will not be sold, and there will be a backlog of 20,000 to 30,000 units, and it will be easy to burn a few million.
Pei Qian began to carefully examine this fully automatic bar lifter that he had given high hopes for.
Compared with the previous samples made by Zhang Huang, the new 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 looks quite low-key and luxurious. Feel.
Pei Qian first came to a wave of "raise the bar" operation.
Every time the bar is lifted, the automatic bar lifter will lift it back again to restore the whole machine to its original state.
If the bar is lifted multiple times in a row, the fully automatic bar lifter will restore the lifted metal sticks in the corresponding order. Before the complete recovery, it is regarded as the state of "continuous bar lifting".
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 is over, the number on the box will be reset 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 seemed to have improved, the Y-shaped sticks became golden, and the shape seemed to have been redesigned, full of finely 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 crap, who wants to buy it for 488? Absolutely brain flooded!
First of all, it doesn't make any practical sense at all.
Secondly, it is a pure black box with a gold edge. Even if it has a bit of 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, and the effect is very good. Immediately deposit money and start mass production! Hmm...does it mean that the more you make, the cheaper it will be? Then stock up on 20,000 units first!"
The first batch of 20,000 units will be produced first, and if all of them are backlogged in the warehouse, 8 million units will be killed in an instant.
Of course, if the sales in the early stage are not good, Pei Qian will consider continuing to increase the stock, but how much it can increase depends on the face of the system.
But no matter what, Pei Qian has high hopes for Zhang Huang's strong return to develop this fully automatic bar lifter!

June 7, dinner time.
Mingyun's private chef.
The so-called "Mingyun Private Kitchen" is the internal name of Tenda, and the official name of the outside world is "Unnamed Restaurant". Because its name can't be found on the Internet, it is talked about by people.
Two tall blonde girls came to the main entrance of the villa.
"Eileen, I didn't expect this place to be so remote at all... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here with you."
"Okay, Jessica, this is a place that a good local friend of mine reserved two months in advance. 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, I do the same."
The two communicated in English, their voices were not high, and they walked inside while chatting.
A certain waiter in the hall noticed this, and immediately walked up and said in fluent English: "Hi, welcome, are Miss Elena and Miss Jessica, right?"
The reservation system has advantages and disadvantages for Mingyun Private Kitchen.
The disadvantage is that everyone who wants to come to eat has 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 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, waiters can Make an appointment to roughly seat each visitor and make some preparations in advance.
This time, Lin Canrong specially arranged for a waiter who was once a well-known simultaneous interpreter in Jingzhou to receive him.
This little brother is named Jia Nuo, and his English name is Lucas. He has worked as a simultaneous interpreter for several years and is well-known in Jingzhou. Too tired, so consider changing careers.
Lin Canrong's salary for this little brother is 40,000 yuan per month, and he only needs to receive foreign guests when they come to dine. He can receive up to 8 times a month, and additional money will be added if it exceeds.
The price may seem high, but compared to Jano's original simultaneous interpreting job, it is not too high.
In the past, Jano’s service targets were mainly some foreign companies, and the quotation standard was 8,000 per day, but this was calculated according to the 8-hour working system. If it was a meeting of about 4 hours, the general quotation would be around 4,000 to 5,000.
After all, this is 2011, if a few years later, the offer should be even higher.
Some people who don’t understand will think that Jia Nuo’s monthly salary should be 100,000 if calculated based on 22 working days per month, but obviously this is not the calculation.
Simultaneous interpretation is a very tiring job, and when you are in charge of a large-scale business meeting, you need to do a lot of preparatory work, even a week or two of preparation, which consumes a lot of time and energy, and continuous work is very detrimental to health.
Although Jano's hourly salary looks high, in fact, his annual income is only four to 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 customers this month, he can get 40,000 yuan by lying at home; Additional money will be added according to the price standard for simultaneous interpretation, so there is no loss.
As for Lin Canrong, he thought it was necessary to find such a professional.
Although it will be a disadvantage when there are no foreign friends, but as a 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 training courses. Service training, including manners, wording, expression management, etc.
For Lin Canrong, paying a basic salary of 40,000 yuan for this is also very cost-effective.
What's more, there is a world of difference between good and bad translations.
Catering pays attention to complete color, fragrance and taste, and the name of the food is as poetic as possible. When explaining to foreign friends, simply conveying the meaning or translating convincingly and elegantly are two completely different concepts.
When Jessica heard this fluent English and saw Jano's handsome appearance, a smile immediately appeared on Jessica's face.
It can only be said that this is a world of faces...
Jano led the two of them to the largest private room. The tableware, tables and chairs on the dining table had already been arranged for two people, and the decorations in the private room had also been replaced.
Meals are also pre-ordered, so there is no menu.
Because most of the dishes in Mingyun Private Kitchen have special ingredients, and some dishes even have dozens of procedures, which need to be prepared in advance, so it is impossible to eat them on the spot.
Elena smiled and said: "Lucas, the friend who made the reservation for us said that he helped us order the 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, my friend Jessica has always had some prejudices against Chinese food. I look forward to seeing you guys help her reverse it for me today."
So far this month, I have written 115,000 words. Let me smooth out the outline and plot a little bit, and continue tomorrow
