"Can you tell me how you made $100 in one afternoon?" Schiller was still more concerned about this matter.
It’s not yet the millennium. If you earn 100 US dollars in an afternoon, you can earn 200 US dollars in a day, and you can earn 6,000 US dollars in a month. Even in the United States in the 21st century, this can be regarded as a properly high salary for ordinary people.
The salary is only about 3,000 to 4,000 US dollars, and those with a monthly family income of 10,000 US dollars are considered middle class.
"We moved several houses." Raven said while cleaning the refrigerator: "At first, there were only two houses on the list, but because we moved so quickly, we moved the list for the next day to today."
"And because the move was very fast and the items were not damaged, every employer gave me a tip, which added up to almost 10 US dollars."
"Did you move with telekinesis?"
"Of course, my telekinesis can almost lift a building, and it's easy to move some furniture."
Raven was taking out the vegetables in the kitchen and re-sorting them, and Schiller walked over and said, "Have you had dinner?"
"Not yet. I just got home not long ago. Can you cook? I bought frozen noodles from the supermarket. How do I cook them?"
Schiller took the pot from the cupboard below, took the noodles from Raven's hand, unpacked them, and said, "It looks like your moving company has a lot of potential."
"Yes, but Waylon thinks we can still make more money. Unfortunately, our current car is too small and can only move ordinary families. It cannot move larger villas or companies."
"Don't you have enough money to buy a car?"
"Waylon only has enough money to rent a storefront. Only with a storefront can he open a business to accept orders and establish a formal company. But if he rents a house, it won't be enough to buy a car."
Schiller calculated in his mind that Waylon's store must be rented in the East District, because the rent there is cheap and the flow of people is huge, making it a good place to do a small business.
But no matter how cheap the rent is, the store will only accept annual rent. Even if the rent is only a few hundred dollars a month, you will have to pay at least several thousand dollars at a time, and maybe a deposit. This should be the limit of Killer Crocodile's savings.
If he wants to move a large villa and company, the vehicle he needs cannot be a small van, but must be a large van. Different from the semi-trailers driven by the clowns, large vans are more expensive.
Moreover, the local production of this type of car is not high, and it is difficult to find good second-hand ones. It is easy to have problems when you piece together one car, and then maintenance will be a big problem. It is better to buy a new car.
It is not impossible to move a semi-trailer, but you still need to buy a fully enclosed carriage, which is not cheap.
Schiller thought for a while and decided to call Killer Croc. He felt that he could use the spare money he had to invest. Killer Croc's moving company had great prospects.
In addition to the more than 1,000 US dollars that Cobot paid before, Schiller still had more than 10,000 US dollars in savings. He used a few thousand to buy a car for Killer Croc, so that he could share the profits of the moving company, at least not
Sit back and eat nothing.
Not long after Schiller finished the call, Killer Croc rushed in, carrying a lot of barbecues, so Schiller had to turn on the central exhaust system of the house to ensure that the smell would not stay in the house for too long.
.
Killer Crocodile was very excited. He did not expect that his wish would come true so quickly. He put the rental contract and company application materials on the table and said to Schiller: "Don't worry, Professor, I bet.
This is your most successful investment."
"I heard from the raven that the Forgotten Bookstore near the carousel is actually opened by two magicians. You want me to tell you what kind of bookstore to open. It's tiring and not profitable. Why don't you come and move with me? It'll be easy in a month.
Earn thousands of dollars."
Schiller hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The vast majority of magicians can't use magic like this. Their magic comes with a price, and it's completely unreasonable to use it to make money... Wait, irony magic doesn't seem to have a price."
Schiller thought that Zatanna's creditor was still locked outside the wall. She was one of the few magicians who didn't have to pay, and she was very short of money now. Killer Croc's plan might actually work.
After all, the way Miss Magic used to make money was by performing magic tricks on the streets. Being a street performer doesn't mean you're pretentious and look down on moving companies.
Schiller told Killer Croc this, and Killer Croc ran out to find Zatanna in a rage without even finishing the barbecue.
Sure enough, Zatanna and Constantine appeared at the door of Schiller's house the next morning. Zatanna waved her hand and walked in. Constantine chased her and shouted.
"Xiao Zha! Xiao Zha! Listen to me, the moving company is very hardworking. Even if you don't have to do anything, it will still be exposed to the elements..."
"You damn hypocritical British guy!!" Zatanna turned around and cursed: "Don't you need to be exposed to the weather when opening a breakfast shop? Don't you need to do magic tricks on the street? I don't have as low a living requirement as you.
, I want to make more money and move out to live by myself!"
Constantine sighed helplessly, it was better now, he had become a hypocritical young man who did not eat the fireworks of the world.
Zatanna has a stubborn energy in her body. She almost never feels sad about spring and autumn. Instead, she immediately does whatever comes to her mind. She doesn't care whether it's humiliating or not, whether it's hard work or not, or even whether she can succeed.
On the contrary, Constantine's whole person is a sad Spring and Autumn. Now he is completely immersed in the atmosphere of unfortunate historians and poets. He laments the various changes of the times during the Great Depression. He has written many essays and novels, and also
Preparing to write a memoir about Gotham during the Great Depression.
In this way, if two people don't covet each other's lust, they will definitely not be able to live together. But now they have to live together even if they are not together. The worse the situation is, the more support a stable emotional relationship can provide.
Obviously, at least if two people live together, one person can take care of the inside and the other can take care of the outside, which saves the other party a lot of energy.
Now Zatanna is running the external affairs of the bookstore and breakfast shop, but there are no customers in the bookstore, and the breakfast shop is only busy for a while in the morning, and the income can only be said to be barely living. Zatanna feels that she can use this time in the afternoon to make a living.
Go get a job.
Originally, she thought she could perform magic on the street, but the expected income was very low. After all, everyone was having a hard time, so who had the time to watch magic?
Now Killer Croc has provided a new idea. Zatanna can completely use her afternoon time to help them move. She doesn't even need her telekinesis. She can move all the furniture to the car just by saying one sentence. The whole moving process only takes a few seconds.
It takes five seconds - raise your hands, recite the incantation, get in the car and leave.
Even if Waylon comes to take orders, they can get a car and just open the coffee shop in the morning. Constantine will drive in the afternoon, and Zatanna will be responsible for moving. Why can't they go to more than a dozen stores in one afternoon?
Isn’t it easy to get $200?
Killer Crocodile also thought about it this way. Now that he has Schiller's funds, he can buy a big car with his help. However, this small car was bought not long ago and is in good condition. If he just sells it or rents it to others,
It's too wasteful. It's better to hire two employees to open it, and he can still collect commissions.
It can be said that the two parties hit it off, only Constantine complained slightly, but soon his surprise that Schiller also invested in this business outweighed his sadness.
"What? You have no money?!" Constantine looked at Schiller in disbelief and said, "Are you serious? You want to invest in a moving company."
"What's the problem? At least I have more money than you."
"But I thought you were the kind who don't need money... Well, I don't have much money, but it's always been like this, and I'm used to it." Constantine sat on the sofa and said, "There are also ways to live a homeless life.
Isn't it?"
It is obvious that Constantine is the kind of person whose art and ideas are his bread. As for the quality of life, he doesn't care at all. He can live if he can, or die if he can't.
After he gave up all those bad habits, the cost of living he needed was ridiculously low, just a house to live in and food to eat, and he was even satisfied with the current situation of opening a store.
But unfortunately Zatanna is a normal person. She is full of crises. It is definitely not okay to feel like this. There are fewer and fewer customers in the bookstore. Everyone is reading e-books on their mobile phones. Sooner or later, the bookstore will not be able to sell a single book.
She had to prepare early.
Zatanna also has a hard time remembering. In the past, her family was a magical family. Not only did they have enough food and drink, but they also had a distinguished status. As the most capable heir of the family, if her father hadn't disappeared, her mission would have been to lead the family to greater glory.
.
But unfortunately, the previous wave of vampire incidents depleted the magic world, and she was betrayed by her family and almost died in this incident. Since then, she has no family.
But fortunately, she has been traveling around the world looking for her father for so many years, and has also worked a lot of part-time jobs. She is not the kind of young lady who cannot endure hardship.
After determining the basic plan, several people performed their duties. Schiller took the rental contract and company contract left by Killer Croc to find Harvey and asked him to help review the contract. Killer Croc took Raven to look at the car.
Tanna took Constantine to decorate the facade of the newly opened company.
Schiller took the whole morning off. Fortunately, he only had one class that morning, so he didn't make much progress.
After finishing all the general matters, several parties signed the contract, and had a meal in the new store. When Schiller arrived at the school in the afternoon, he heard that the new principal had arrived and was currently in a meeting.
It was definitely too late to go to the meeting now. Schiller could only wait for the results in the office. Not long after, new trends in school management came out, mainly including the following points.
We must ensure a virtuous cycle in the sports academy, that is, train to win invitational tournaments and earn tickets. No matter how much money is spent on invitations, invitational tournaments must be played.
Then there is the matter of salary reduction. The new principal rejected the previous decision to reduce salary by 30%. The newly proposed salary reduction plan is to reduce salary by 10%. If his project team still fails to achieve independent profitability after three months, it will be changed again.
For a 30% reduction.
When Schiller heard this, he knew that the new principal planned to let each professor fend for himself, but that was normal. The new campus had been moved, and it was surrounded by major factories and industrial bases, and various brand-new laboratories were waiting to be built.
Gotham University's top talents are collaborating. If we don't quickly find a way to make money at this time, how long will it take?
Due to the special nature of literature and social science disciplines, the new president stipulated that the personal income of professors and students in such project teams should also be considered within the scope of profit. For example, publishing articles, novels, and even psychological consultations are all considered profits.
As soon as these regulations came out, most professors breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, the school moved here because many professors had signed contracts with the laboratories here and were continuing to produce, so they moved closer. Three
It is no problem to make a profit within a month, and I finally don’t have to have my salary cut.
It can be seen that the management level of this new principal is not bad. We know that the most important job at this stage is to appease the teaching staff. Otherwise, in order to make up for the deduction of salary, everyone will work outside the school, and the teaching level will only drop again and again.
It's a complete vicious cycle.
Out of curiosity, Schiller planned to meet the new principal, but before he could make a call, the new principal came to see him first.
After a knock on the door, the person who opened the office door was a tall, thin, bald man in a suit, with a pale complexion and round-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses. He was a very common image of a management talent.
He stepped forward and shook hands with Schiller enthusiastically and said: "Thaddeus Sivana, Ph.D. in Economics and Business Management, Finance, and Statistics. He studied for a Master's degree at Columbia University and is considered an alumnus of yours."
Schiller paused, shook hands with him and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Principal Sivana. Please sit down."
