Chapter 541 Foreign Customer Month of Mingyun Private Kitchen
Monday, June 6th.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Pei Qian woke up naturally after sleeping.
The gaming experience with Ruan Guangjian over 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 box of milk from the refrigerator, preparing for two mouthfuls, and then continued to finish the game he had not finished yesterday.
Because the room was in a minimalist style, which is commonly known as "house style", Pei Qian could only eat on the small coffee table next to the large balcony.
This small coffee table is one of the few remaining pieces of furniture in the entire living room. There are two small chairs next to it. It is mainly used to look at the scenery outside, drink tea, etc.
The two small cakes were quickly destroyed. 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 was stunned for a moment, then stood up and opened the door.
The housekeeper stood outside the door, holding a square box in his hand: "Mr. Pei, this is a courier from Yuanmeng Venture Capital. Do you need help moving it in?"
The housekeeper's name is Song Kai. He is 26 years old. He has previous experience as a house housekeeper in a rental company. He is also the candidate chosen by Assistant Xin. So far, he has done a good job.
Of course, there was no job originally.
Ever since he came to Sloth Apartment, Song Kai was often too idle to doubt his life.
Pei Qian thought about it. If Liang Qingfan was the only person in charge of Sloth Apartment, it would obviously be too busy. Even if the project never became popular, building management and cleaning staff would still have to be recruited for each building.
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, we can't let Liang Qingfan do these things, right?
After all, he is an architect and is responsible for both design work and on-site construction.
Therefore, Pei Qian decided to observe Song Kai for a few days. If he felt that this person was passable, he would let him serve as the person in charge of the Sloth Apartment and help Liang Qingfan.
"Unbox it, just give it to me." Pei Qian said.
Song Kai opened the box, took out the square black box inside, and handed it to Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian reached out and took it, and found that it was quite heavy, heavier than expected, but it was not too heavy to move.
This is an improved version of the fully automatic bar lifter. Zhang Wang directly arranged for someone to mail it to Pei Qian's residence.
Song Kai closed the door thoughtfully and took away the empty box.
Pei Qian was holding the fully automatic bar lifting machine and looking around blankly in the living room.
There's no place to put it!
This thing is neither big nor small. It cannot be placed as a decoration on a bookshelf, but it would be too small to be placed as a cabinet in the corner of a room or next to a TV cabinet, which would look strange.
In short, Pei Qian is very satisfied with this weird size.
After looking around, Pei Qian placed it on the small coffee table where he had breakfast.
Needless to say, it's quite suitable. I can reach it just right when I sit on the chair next to me, and the operation of "lifting the bar" is also very smooth.
"Very good, Zhang Wang, I will trust you again. If this project succeeds and makes me lose money, then I will invest in any of your projects from now on!"
The system obviously also has limitations on the backlog of goods. You cannot continue to produce without thinking when the goods are already obviously backlogged, and it will be endless. 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, it will be easy to burn millions if the fully automatic bar lifting machine cannot be sold and there is a backlog of 20,000 to 30,000 units.
Pei Qian began to carefully examine this fully automatic bar lifter that he had high hopes for.
Compared with the previous samples produced by Zhang Wang, the new fully automatic bar lifter is several times larger. The whole machine 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 made a wave of "provoking" operations.
Every time the bar is lifted, the fully automatic bar lifter will lift it back up again to restore the entire machine to its original state.
If the bar is lifted several times in a row, the fully automatic bar lifter will also restore the lifted metal stick in the corresponding order. Until it is fully restored, it will be considered a "continuous bar lift" state.
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 bar lifting" state ends, the numbers on the box will be cleared to zero and return to the state of a pure black box.
In addition, Pei Qian also noticed that the materials inside the box seemed to have been improved. The Y-shaped stick became golden, and the shape seemed to have been redesigned, giving it a finely crafted texture.
After all, the cost has doubled, from 200 yuan to 400 yuan, and all these costs are spent on these useless details.
Pei Qian lost interest in it after playing with it for two minutes.
Who wants to spend 488 on such a crappy thing? They are definitely out of their minds!
First of all, it has absolutely no practical meaning.
Secondly, it is a pure black box with gold edges. Even if it has a 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-looking than it.
Too many.
Pei Qian was very satisfied and immediately called He Desheng.
"I have received the fully automatic bar lifter. The effect is very good. I will pay for it immediately and mass-produce it immediately! Hmm... is it cheaper the more you make it? Then stock up on 20,000 units first!"
The first batch of 20,000 units will be produced initially. If they are all backlogged in the warehouse, 8 million units will be sold in an instant.
Of course, if the early sales are not good, Pei Qian will consider continuing to increase stocking, but how much the increase can be depends on the system.
But no matter what, Pei Qian has high hopes for the fully automatic bar lift machine developed by Zhang Wang after his strong return!

June 7th, dinner time.
Mingyun Private Chef.
The so-called "Mingyun Private Kitchen" is the internal name of Tenda. The official name outside is "Unknown Restaurant". It is talked about because its name cannot be found on the Internet.
Two tall blonde girls came to the main entrance of the villa.
"Elena, I didn't expect this place to be so remote... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come with you."
"Okay Jessica, this is a place that a very good local friend of mine made a reservation two months in advance. It's also my first time here. I think whether this restaurant deserves its local reputation or not,
You can complain after eating."
"Okay, but if the food here is not delicious, I won't feel good about it."
"You don't need to tell me, I do the same."
The two people communicated in English, their voices were low, and they walked inside while chatting.
A waiter in the lobby noticed this and immediately came up and said in fluent English: "Hello, welcome, are you 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 eat has to make a reservation one to two months in advance. If you want to have a meal, you have to wait for a long time.
But this also brings some advantages. For example, the number of dining guests is fixed every day. Mingyun Private Kitchen will never feel crowded, and the privacy of guests during dining can be guaranteed; at the same time, the waiter can
Make an appointment to roughly seat each guest and make some preparations in advance.
This time, Lin Canrong specially arranged for a waiter who was once a famous simultaneous interpreter in Jingzhou and changed his profession to receive him.
This guy’s name is Jano, and his English name is Lucas. He has worked as a simultaneous interpreter for several years and is very famous in Jingzhou. However, he is worried about the future of his job because although the salary of simultaneous interpreter is high, it is
I was too tired, so I considered changing careers.
Lin Canrong's salary for this young man is 40,000 per month. He is only required to receive foreign guests when they come to dine. The maximum number of receptions is 8 times per month. If the number exceeds 40,000 yuan, additional money will be added.
This price seems high, but compared to Jano's original simultaneous interpretation work, it is not high.
In the past, Jano's service targets were mainly foreign companies, and the quotation standard was 8,000/day, but this was calculated based on the hourly work system. If it was a meeting of about 4 hours, the quotation would generally be around 4,000 to 5,000.
After all, this was 2011, and if it had been a few years later, the price would have been even higher.
If some people who don't understand calculate it based on 22 working days per month, they will think that Jano's monthly salary should be 100,000, but this is obviously not the case.
Simultaneous interpretation is a very tiring job, and when you are responsible for a large-scale business meeting, you need to carry out a lot of preliminary preparations, even one or two weeks, which consumes a lot of time and energy. Continuous work is very harmful to your health.
Although Jano's hourly wage seems high, his actual annual income is only four to five hundred thousand.
Therefore, Jia Nuo accepted Lin Canrong's invitation. On the one hand, he had a stable monthly salary. If he happened to not have any guests this month, he could get 40,000 yuan just by lying at home. Even if he received more than 8 receptions this month, store manager Lin could still get 40,000 yuan.
We will pay extra according to the price standard for simultaneous interpretation, so we won’t lose anything.
For Lin Canrong, he believes that it is necessary to find such a professional.
Although it will be more disadvantageous when there are no foreign friends here, as a waiter at Mingyun Private Kitchen, Jia Nuo has to learn English vocabulary specifically about catering, memorize the recipes and details of various meals, and go through specialized training.
Service training, including manners, wording, expression management, etc.
For Lin Canrong, paying a basic salary of 40,000 yuan for this is a good deal.
What's more, the quality of translation is also very different.
Catering pays attention to the appearance, flavor and flavor, and the names of the dishes should be as poetic as possible. When explaining to foreign friends, simply conveying the meaning or translating it faithfully and elegantly are two completely different concepts.
When Jessica heard this fluent English and saw Jano's handsome appearance, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
All I can say is that this is a world where faces are judged...
Jano led the two people to the largest private room. The tableware, tables and chairs on the dining table had already been arranged for two people, and the decoration in the private room had also been changed.
The meals have all been reserved in advance, so there is no menu.
Because most of the meals at Mingyun Private Kitchen have special ingredients, and some dishes even have dozens of processes that need to be prepared in advance, so it is impossible to eat them to order.
Elena smiled and said: "Lucas, the friend who made the reservation for us said that he helped us order the two dishes you have with the most complicated process and the most unique taste, and they are new products this month. I hope this is not an exaggeration.
"
"In fact, my friend Jessica has always had some prejudices against Chinese food. I really hope that you can change it for her today."
