The man who led this group of students into the cabin was a middle-aged Chinese in his forties. His accent sounded a bit like that of overseas Chinese, but his Chinese was not standard and had that ABC accent.
When Zhao Mingyang and the others were preparing for the next step, a group of people followed the middle-aged man into a passage, and then came to an employee lounge. Everyone immediately knew what they were going to do, and they were tricked again.
The middle-aged man looked at everyone and said: "This cruise ship does not allow individual passengers to let outsiders in casually. To put it simply, you are all stowaways, illegal intruders. There are only tourists and cruise staff here, from the captain to the cleaning staff. They are all staff or tourists.
Only these two types of people can stay on this ship, otherwise you will have to be kicked off the cruise ship, or we will take you to the port and send it to the local customs for processing.
Of course, if you give up now, Mr. Shen will replenish a boat ticket for you. If you don't want to give up, then put on work clothes. Let me tell you briefly, different types of work have different incomes.
For cleaning, we will give you 25 US dollars per hour, which is not a low income. However, waiters do not get any salary, but they can get 20% service commission, which is the commission on customer consumption.
I want to tell you that as long as the waiters serve, they can basically get service tips. However, some services are not available, such as the services that come with the ferry ticket, and there is no commission for that.
Also, if the service is good, the customer may charge more than 20% of the service fee, and may directly give you hundreds or thousands of dollars. This is possible. The customers here are relatively wealthy, so it depends on you. services.
Of course, if you have other skills, you can tell them. According to the division of labor according to your skills, if you can cook and are better than our chefs here, we will give you three hundred to five hundred dollars per hour."
Everyone was speechless for a while after hearing this. It was so annoying. I didn't expect this ending.
Damn it, you have no choice, you can either buy a boat ticket or beat the workers. If you don't do either, you will give up the game, or you will be sent to the port for illegal smuggling and sent to the customs.
As for the chef, it costs one hundred to three hundred US dollars an hour, which is quite a lot of money. After all, Shen Nanshan gives him Chinese coins. Even Zhao Mingyang earns back from cleaning for one hour, and the part-time income is US dollars.
As for the chefs, don't even think about it. The chefs here are probably all Michelin-level, and they are all top chefs in the industry. How can you compare with them? How can you compare?
Using your spare time to challenge other people’s majors? Isn’t this self-defeating?
Among the types of jobs here, I can only say that waiters and cleaning are the most suitable for them.
However, waiters have a hard requirement and must be bilingual. This leaves many bosses with no chance to do this, or they can only serve Chinese users.
And the crafts that most people know are not applicable here. For the first time, I feel helpless and can only be forced to choose things, and there are limitations.
Someone looked like a middle-aged man and asked: "How much does our air ticket go back to?"
Yes, this is the key. How much does the ticket cost?
"The air tickets are not expensive, five hundred dollars is enough. Of course, this is not enough for business class. I am talking about economy class." The middle-aged man said.
After everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief and accepted it. The destination should not be far from China, and the sailing speed was basically not very fast. It could not be sailed much in two days.
But the middle-aged man's next words made them uneasy and they felt like they had fallen into a trap again.
"First of all, let me tell you, no matter what type of work you choose, you will be graded. Customers will grade you, and we will grade you. Everyone will be graded. If it is less than five points, there will be no chance of working.
It means that you can only choose to buy a ferry ticket or be sent to the customs and treated as a stowaway.
One point is deducted, which is currently a fine of $100. Of course, starting from nine points below, the first penalty is $100, the second time is $200, and the third time is $500.
You can do the math yourself. Also, you have to pay our clothing usage fee, which is fifty dollars. Of course, you can get staff meals and staff accommodation for free.
If you still don't understand anything, you can ask me now. Your time is limited. This ship provides 24-hour service. Many venues are open 24 hours a day. You can choose to work overtime and earn more."
Zhao Mingyang and the others already felt bad at this time. Shen Nanshan gave them Huaxia coins, but paid them US dollars for part-time work. This seemed good, but what the hell was this service point? The deductions were also US dollars.
The first deducted penalty is $100. If you get less than five points, you will be eliminated.
Each customer can choose to score, and what items are not included in the ticket are free items. You must find other consumer items that need to be paid to get a higher commission, otherwise you will be busy.
There is also the type of work. With such a big ship, this is equivalent to a large mobile shopping mall. It is not a store in a shopping mall, but a store here. Everyone is a waiter, and the group of customers is too large.
If you are too big, if someone thinks you are unhappy or is lazy and deducts a point from you, it will be a huge loss.
Therefore, the first thing that everyone thinks of is to find a job type that is not rated by others as much as possible. This rating is basically based on customer ratings, and staff members are rated. This has room for manipulation, but customers cannot.
"I know water and electricity, what can I do?" said an old man. He is engaged in real estate and was a plumber before. He is very proficient in water and electricity and he is confident.
The middle-aged Chinese man looked at him and asked: "Do you have the relevant documents? Especially for such a luxury cruise ship? If not, we can't hire you."
When the old man heard this, he was instantly discouraged. He really didn’t have any certificates and no experience working on a cruise ship.
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, and you probably understand that as long as it is a technical job, don't even think about it. The professionals here are definitely more professional than them. At most, they serve tea, water, and clean the house.
What to clean? Soon they knew, clean the toilets, clean the swimming pool, mop the floor.
Everyone was calculating, and an old man raised his hand and said, "How much does it cost to wash the dishes?"
“It’s also twenty-five dollars for one hour, but if you damage the dishes and chopsticks, you need to pay for them. As a friendly reminder, the tableware we have here are from big brands, and each tableware is valuable. A glass costs thirty-fifty dollars.
The price of the goblet is basically US$100. If you damage this, you will have to pay for it," the middle-aged man said.
Zhao Mingyang and the others want to curse again. Such exhausting work of washing dishes may not be enough to compensate for a cup, and being a waiter is also risky. They have no working experience here, are not familiar with the terrain, do not understand the operating procedures, and the time It's too short. It's best for everyone to study for three or four hours on the first day, otherwise they will break a goblet and their work will be in vain.
The risk for students who received 10,000 US dollars in the early stage seems to be small. They have about 1,500 US dollars in start-up capital, 500 US dollars can buy air tickets, and 1,000 US dollars can guarantee at least a two-point fine. After the fine, there are still US$500. This US$700 can also guarantee compensation for the broken glass.
However, if they have to earn 20% of the income to give to Shen Nanshan, and also earn 500 US dollars in air tickets, the risk is also great, because now they have to earn at least 1,000 US dollars. Guaranteed to win.
And people like Zhao Mingyang who got 100 Huaxia coins are also relatively miserable. They basically can't make too many mistakes. How long will it take for them to make a comeback?
Fortunately, they basically only need to earn US$500, which may not be enough for the air tickets. The remaining US$500 is enough for them to complete the task.
Even if they work part-time, cleaning costs $25 an hour, only takes 20 hours, and they can rest for the remaining 28 hours. The risk is low, but they are a little tired.
When it comes to cleaning, first of all, you don’t have to come into contact with anyone to avoid being judged, and secondly, it’s a life-and-death job, so the error rate is low.
But people who get 10,000 yuan are basically not allowed to do such low-wage jobs. What is left for them is commission, or high-risk occupations, such as cleaning, where they have to work 40 hours.
What is a high-risk occupation? Outdoor window cleaning costs $80 an hour, but if you don't do it well, you will fall directly, and it requires a lot of physical strength. This ship has six floors, mainly because moving in mid-air is too physically demanding. , and if it cannot be wiped clean and needs to be reworked, the rework may be in vain.
There are also porters, which are calculated on a piece-by-piece basis. A lot of wine is consumed here. The porter is pulling a cart of wine. A box of wine is worth US dollars. A cart can pull almost ten boxes of wine, but this needs to be transported from the warehouse. To carry, carry a box of wine to the car, and then pull the car to unload the wine and put it away.
It costs twenty dollars a trip, but this thing is also purely physical. A box of wine starts at about 25 kilograms. It mainly requires squatting and standing up, which is really strenuous for these people who have not exerted physical strength for a long time.
The porter job is more suitable for someone like Zhao Mingyang. After all, he is young and has little capital. Zhao Mingyang only invested one hundred yuan, but Zhao Mingyang has no chance. He cannot work as a waiter. The time is too short. Zhao Mingyang can't even get a job. If you can't bear the consequences of breaking the cup, you may lose.
The waiter's commission is high, but the risk is also high. You have no choice in a short time. If you get a big investment, you can only do something more profitable. If you get a small capital, you can only do something with a small income.
Only high-risk occupations are easy to reverse, such as cleaning windows at high altitudes, and Zhao Mingyang wants to do it.
While everyone was thinking about what to do, two people came out. The first one was a female student in her early forties. She raised her hand and asked: "How much does it cost to be a casino dealer? I know this better, and I can compare my skills in dealing cards with the professionals here.”
"Very good, then you can go and give it a try. It costs sixty dollars an hour." said the middle-aged Chinese.
Others looked at the female student, and a short male student in his thirties or seventeen years old said: "I know this sea area, and after observing it for a while, I know where we are now.
I am familiar with the sea area and have been in this area often before. I can become a pilot. How much will it cost?"
The middle-aged Chinese man said with an incredulous look on his face: "Are you sure?"
"Sure!" said the short male student.
"OK, then you go and talk to the captain. I estimate that it will take less than 20,000 US dollars to start." The middle-aged man said these words. Everyone was shocked. This short male student won 100%. If he can do it
If you arrive.
Everyone looked at him. This short male student looked pleasant. But when Zhao Mingyang heard that this guy had been a pilot, one of the three most dangerous professions in the world, he was basically sure that he was a ruthless person. Absolutely.
He is a ruthless person, he is not a simple character.
It is not a dream to earn a million a year as a pilot, but the number of people employed in this profession in our country is very small. Pilots, also known as water pilots, are a very high-risk profession, but the accident rate is very high, so many people are unwilling to do this.
I didn’t expect that this group of people had worked in these professions before. I really couldn’t tell without mentioning it. The dealer and the pilot had their own skills that guaranteed their advantages.
But this pilot is also very risky. This guy is not short of money, and he can still take risks for a competition. It can be seen that this person is desperate for opportunities. He must want to meet Shen Nanshan to ask something, or want to
Received investment from Shen Nanshan.
The rest of the people also quickly wanted to highlight their own advantages, but they seemed to have nothing to do with this place. Some had been teachers before and were of little use here. Others had been gynecologists, but they were not needed here for the time being. Such luxury
There is no medical team on board.
Zhao Mingyang understood the specific environment and specific own advantages, but it was hard for Zhao Mingyang to tell others about his strengths. He could make a lot of money in forty-eight hours. He only had to put in some physical effort, but for a competition,
It's not good for people to know that they are Shanghai's old duck.
"Are there any jobs for salespersons, shopping guides or explainers?" Zhao Mingyang looked at the other person and said.
Zhao Mingyang's words instantly attracted the attention of other students present. Yes, they can be salesmen and shopping guides. If there is nothing that is beneficial to them, they can take the initiative to find something that is beneficial to them. They cannot just sit back and wait for death. These people all understand this.
a little.
"It's true. We have several brand promotion meetings here that need hosts, but can you guarantee that you can explain it better than the previous group of commentators? If you can, you can get five hundred to two thousand dollars.
Labor fee.”
"I can go." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Then you can go and give it a try." The middle-aged man smiled at Zhao Mingyang.
Zhao Mingyang did not rush to go, but looked at other people's job options. Zhao Mingyang suddenly understood something. Many of them relied on opportunities, and some relied on personal connections. But in this world, the most reliable person is himself.
Being strong enough is your greatest confidence.
Everyone left quickly. Except for the short man, there were several people who chose to work at heights to clean the windows. I have to say that these people were really ruthless. No one even cleaned the house.
There are not many people doing waiters. They are all avoiding one point, service rating. Also, the more unskilled the job, the easier it is to be challenged and embarrassed, and the rewards are also small.
It has to be said that Shen Nanshan's operation instantly made it impossible for a group to find any loopholes to break through. The key point is identity. Shen Nanshan gave them the identity of a staff member, which completely restricted what everyone could do.
Zhao Mingyang was still thinking about how to break the situation, but found that some things were restricted and it was really difficult to break the situation.
He could only follow people to a room first, hold a product introduction leaflet and start reading. This type of cruise ship will have some manufacturers doing activities on it, basically high-end products. In fact, it is to promote the new products of the season, and also There is a fashion show.
The product Zhao Mingyang got was a brand-name bicycle. The starting price of this bicycle is very high. The lowest price is only one thousand US dollars. This is only the basic model. The main model bicycles start at three thousand US dollars. of.
This brand merchant has a dedicated person to look at Zhao Mingyang's publicity effect and give it a score. Zhao Mingyang changed into a white shirt and blue suit. He was quickly carrying the brand's information. The advantage was that it only started in three hours and he could still eat. A work meal.
The disadvantage is that, including the half hour or three and a half hours of introduction, Zhao Mingyang has no income. If he cannot achieve the effect of others' publicity, Zhao Mingyang may be eliminated, because this profession can make money faster than others.
However, all ten points are scored by the manufacturer alone. The other party can directly give Zhao Mingyang a score of one to ten. If he directly scores five points, Zhao Mingyang will be eliminated directly.
