After completing the preliminary preparations for the two game departments and the gym, Pei Qian planned to enjoy this rare and leisurely weekend.
I found a seat by the window at Moyu Internet Cafe, drank coffee leisurely, looked at the street scene outside, and thought about what I still have to do next.
It seems that the movie's box office split is coming soon, and a lot of money will be accounted for by then.
Pei Qian has already thought about how to spend the money: on an apartment project.
Just like managed fitness, you can not only lose money, but also use it as employee benefits, double the happiness and kill two birds with one stone!
Of course, this money is a bit too much, so you have to plan and spend it later.
Pei Qian thought that he could sell a building and convert it into an apartment to try the water. If everything goes well, he could use the remaining money to rent a house for renovation.
The system prohibits real estate speculation, which means that the houses purchased must be engaged in production and business activities and cannot be left idle or hoarded to raise prices.
Whether you are opening a restaurant or building a hotel, they can all be counted as production and business activities.
But after Pei Qian bought the villa owned by Mingyun Private Kitchen, he never thought about buying a house again, mainly because the initial system funds in the previous cycles were too low.
Fixed assets must be converted into system funds at 10% of their value, which will affect settlement.
Suppose you spend 30 to 40 million to buy a building. After conversion, it is equivalent to 30 to 4 million. The initial system capital in the last cycle was only 10 million, and 30 to 40% was taken up in one go.
In this way, the difficulty of losing money will be too high and it will be easy to lose money.
In this cycle, the initial system funds have reached 20 million. If you spend 30 to 40 million to buy a property, the impact on the settlement will not be that big.
Of course, there are risks: house prices may rise.
After considering this factor, Pei Qian decided to continue buying a property, mainly for three reasons.
First, the world has changed a lot from what I remember, and house prices may not rise so fast; second, even if they rise rapidly, it certainly does not happen in the past two years; third, even if house prices rise,
The increase is definitely far less than the growth rate of the initial system funds.
According to the current situation, the initial system funds will increase by at least 10 million every six months, which means that it is very cost-effective for Pei Qian to spend about 30 million to 50 million to buy fixed assets every cycle.
This can be considered a fixed overhead per cycle.
In addition, Pei Qian also has to check out the situation at Yuanmeng Venture Capital and Zhang Yuan.
After arranging a job for Lao Ma last time, it seems that he has not found a new investment project.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this and did not intend to rush it.
But in order to prevent Ma Yang and He Desheng from working behind closed doors for a long time and accidentally causing too much noise, Pei Qian still has to be vigilant at all times.
Although Zhang Yuan said he wanted to set up an e-sports club, it seems that he himself is not very concerned about this matter and is still in the preparation stage.
Pei Qian also plans to take time to visit and give him "guidance."
In addition, there are some other trivia:
Pei Qian felt that the main problem with his repeated defeats was that he was not well-informed, and he planned to find a way to allow himself to monitor the movements of various departments at any time;
The task of "investing in yourself" given by the system is not clear yet;
Other industries that currently don’t seem to be a threat also need to be paid attention to at all times. You may not know which industry will suddenly pop up and stab you in the back...
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more melancholy he felt.
Life is as lonely as snow.
While feeling melancholy, Pei Qian saw a familiar figure pushing open the door and entering Moyu Internet Cafe.
"Eh? Mr. Pei?"
"Rare visitors, rare visitors."
Ruan Guangjian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Pei Qian sitting in the corner drinking coffee.
Pei Qian: "?"
Wait a minute, what does "rare guest" mean?
I've been busy with work recently, and it's true that I haven't been to this Moyu Internet Cafe for a while, but if I remember correctly, this Moyu Internet Cafe is my property, right?
Ruan Guangjian also instantly realized that there was something wrong with this statement, and smiled sheepishly: "Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Pei, I was thinking about something and my brain twitched."
"You originally opened this Internet cafe, hahahaha."
“I have to say, the coffee is pretty good.”
Currently, Ruan Guangjian is the number one person in Mr. Pei’s notebook.
Originally, Qiao Laoshi was also a strong competitor, but after all, Pei Qian had once let Qiao Laoshi suffer, so he was a lot more tolerant of Qiao Laoshi.
As for other people with small books, as long as they want a set of roller coasters, big pendulums, bungee jumping, and haunted houses, they will basically accept it.
Only Ruan Guangjian is a complete alien!
Play roller coaster and big pendulum, the more you play, the more excited you become;
He kept saying that he was afraid of ghosts, and screamed louder than anyone else when he arrived at the haunted house, but when he came out, he felt refreshed and his face was glowing!
This is simply an ultimate human shield with full physical and magic resistance. All of Mr. Pei's attack methods are worthless in front of him.
If you want to take revenge, I'm afraid you can only use real harm.
But Pei Qian currently does not have such means.
So I can only let Ruan Guangjian jump up and down on his face and show off his power.
Pei Qian drank coffee and said with a smile: "How are you doing after moving to Jingzhou? Are you uncomfortable? If not, I think it would be better to go to the magic city..."
Before Pei Qian finished speaking, Ruan Guangjian had already spoken: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, you're adaptable, you're so adaptable!"
"People in our studio even regretted moving late!"
"We should have moved to Jingzhou when the studio was first established!"
Pei Qian's hand holding the coffee stopped in mid-air: "?"
It was originally meant to be a bit sarcastic, but Ruan Guangjian seemed to hear it as care and greetings?
A waiter came over with two large paper bags in his hands, which seemed to contain seven or eight cups of coffee.
"Brother Ruan, your coffee is ready."
Ruan Guangjian reached out and took it: "Okay, thank you very much."
It seems that Ruan Guangjian should come here often, and the waiters are already familiar with him. These coffees should have been ordered by phone in advance, and they just come to pick them up.
Pei Qian was a little surprised: "The studio owner came personally to get coffee for the employees?"
Ruan Guangjian smiled: "I just wanted to come out and relax. Usually everyone takes turns to get coffee."
"Mr. Pei, do you have time? Why don't you come to our studio?"
Pei Qian instinctively wanted to refuse.
Why should I visit an arsenal that develops backstab weapons when I have nothing to do?
But then I thought again, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger.
Now that the enemy has marched straight into the hinterland of Jingzhou and the danger is around us, it is better to find out the enemy's situation and make preparations in advance.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian stood up and said, "Okay, let's go around."
Ruan Guangjian carried coffee and walked across the street with Pei Qian into the Halo Studio.
This is Pei Qian's first time coming to Halo Studio.
This was originally a two-story bookstore, but it could no longer be opened and had to be transferred. Ruan Guangjian took a fancy to this store, which was diagonally opposite Moyu Internet Cafe and very close to the Shenhua Grand View, so he happily rented it.
After entering the studio, Pei Qian's first feeling was that it was full of spring and full of artistic atmosphere.
The indoor temperature is suitable, and the warm sunlight enters through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving people a warm feeling.
The doorways, tables, and corners are filled with various green plants, as well as many decorative artworks, including sculptures, portraits, etc.
The desks, chairs and overall layout of the workstations are also quite casual, but not cluttered. It has obviously been carefully planned.
The entire environment gives people a relaxed and leisurely feeling, and is an environment that can fully stimulate imagination and creativity.
Some people have already noticed Pei Qian who came in with Ruan Guangjian and greeted him one after another.
"Eh? Mr. Pei!"
"Hello, Mr. Pei!"
"Welcome to come often, Mr. Pei!"
Everyone is very enthusiastic.
After all, in everyone's mind, Pei is always Ruan Guangjian's best friend, an important partner of Halo Studio, and a golden thigh that everyone can embrace in Jingzhou.
In Pei Qian's view, if Ruan Guangjian was the assassin who finally stabbed the knife into his back, then these people were the ones pushing him from behind so that the knife could penetrate deeper.
If you say something, write it all down in a small book!
However, Mr. Pei is a quality person after all. When faced with everyone's warm welcome, he responded with a smile and waved.
Ruan Guangjian handed the coffee to a buddy next to him: "Old Huang, share it with me. I'll show Mr. Pei around."
Pei Qian followed Ruan Guangjian upstairs and looked around the entire studio.
Ruan Guangjian was filled with emotion while introducing every detail of the studio.
“Coming to Jingzhou is really a very correct decision!”
"The prices in Jingzhou are much lower than those in Shanghai."
“Whether it’s renting a house or daily expenses, you can save a lot of money.”
"The studio is bigger and the working environment has become better. Everyone's work efficiency has been significantly improved, and their mental and physical conditions have also improved."
“Besides, life is very convenient!”
"Now we all order Moyu takeout for our work meals. It is nutritious, healthy, delicious, and not expensive."
"Moyu Internet cafes and headwind logistics have also greatly improved the happiness of life."
"The most important thing is that as long as Tengda Group is here, life in Jingzhou City will become more and more convenient, and the overall economic development will get better and better. Such prospects are not available in ordinary second-tier cities...
"
Listening to Ruan Guangjian's introduction, Pei Qian had only one feeling.
Just heartbroken.
Look, this is totally out of joy!
When I came to Jingzhou, I immediately abandoned the magical city completely.
Scumbag!
However, Pei Qian can indeed see his love for Jingzhou from Ruan Guangjian's excited expression.
Hey, it seems that it is impossible to drive away Halo Studios...
So melancholy.
Ruan Guangjian took Pei Qian around and returned to his workstation.
There is no separate office. On the one hand, people who engage in art need to learn from each other, make progress together, and find inspiration through communication. On the other hand, Ruan Guangjian is responsible for the acceptance of all projects and ensures the consistency of the painting style.
Pei Qian noticed that on Ruan Guangjian's computer screen was an extremely detailed portrait.
About a quarter of the lower left corner of the screen is a photo of a real person.
He is a white man, he looks to be in his forties, has a handsome appearance, and a kind expression. Other than that, there is not much that is impressive about him.
What surprised Pei Qian even more was that this portrait was not drawn exactly according to the photo. It not only enriched many details that were not originally there, but also modified the person's image in some aspects.
For example, there are some wrinkles on the model's face, but it does not give people the feeling of aging or vicissitudes of life at all, but instead enhances the charm;
The beard and hair style have been carefully trimmed, especially the beard, which obviously shows that only those who are very rich and have time to take care of it have the leisure to take care of it;
His demeanor has also changed. He was originally very kind, but now he looks ambitious, with a strong confidence in his eyes;
The originally slightly bald hairline has been completely compensated, and the lush hair seems to demonstrate his strong vitality.
If the photo is of "a middle-aged white man in pretty good condition", then the portrait is of "an elite white man who has reached his peak in all aspects".
Comparing photos and portraits, Pei Qian deeply understood what is called "artistic exaggeration and reprocessing".
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh: "The painting is so good! If this person's original appearance is 70 points, this portrait directly reaches 95 points."
"Not only does it retain the original appearance characteristics, but it also further highlights the characteristics of the appearance and comprehensively improves the temperament!"
"Is this some kind of daily practice for you artists?"
"Find a random photo, and then draw a vivid character based on this photo?"
"The road of art really never stops."
Pei Qian looked at the portrait with great interest and praised it.
Ruan Guangjian looked a little strange: "Uh...Mr. Pei."
"Our construction schedule is quite tight, and generally speaking we don't have that much time to do such detailed painting exercises."
"This is what we have been working on recently...can't you see? This is the latest art requirement from Tenda Games."
