Chapter 113 Chapter 113 Spending Money Day 113
Yan Xia was reluctant to take the job at first - it wasn't that she didn't want to help Liu Yue, but she didn't want to take money.
She felt that recommending snacks to others was a natural thing, and if her classmates or friends asked her about this, she would help; Sister Liu Yue had helped her family so much, how could she take her money?
Liu Yue originally wanted to say that if she didn't take money, she wouldn't ask her to do the work. Later, she thought that this honest sister would probably do the work herself and send the results to her, but she just wouldn't take money, so she still had to convince her.
She said, "You know there's a job called 'purchasing'? If all you do is help, why should the boss pay you?"
"You spend your time helping me choose, so I don't have to do it aimlessly on my own. It's like I'm buying your time. I can use the time I save to do more things I want to do."
Moreover, even if Liu Yue only asked her to choose snacks, it would still not be an easy task.
Delicious food comes in many flavors: sweet, sour, spicy, or something else entirely? What are its ingredients? Is the processing method healthy? Is the ingredient list clean? These are all questions a product selector needs to consider. Ren Zhen explained all of this to Yan Xia, making her realize that this was a serious job. She accepted it, not just Liu Yue's roundabout way of giving her money.
Anyway, Yan Qiu was the chef for Xiaofanzhuo's takeout and the one who bought the groceries. She just held up her phone to film and manage the account. Yan Xia was already teaching her mother how to do all this, and she would let her mother do it once school started.
Liu Yue had given her plenty of time to do this, so she could use her weekends. Ren Zhen also asked her to search for more global products, and she would reimburse the purchasing costs. Yan Xia knew they wanted her to be exposed to more English reading environments.
So, Liu Yue is still helping her... She is such a kind and good person.
Yan Xia silently kept this in mind. She would grow up as quickly as possible and strive to have the opportunity to repay her in the future.
**
On a new day, Liu Yue drew one million.
Good news, there are money-spending channels available right at your doorstep when you wake up;
Bad news, it's many times over today's budget.
Liu Yue liked buying jadeite for a while. There was also a jadeite boss in Ruili who said that if he found imperial green jadeite of excellent quality, he would contact her as soon as possible.
Good jade is hard to come by, so Liu Yue waited for a while, but nothing happened. After she had forgotten about it, the top-grade imperial green jade appeared.
This time it was not a bracelet, but a very thick piece of Wu Shi Pai.
After watching the actual video shots under various lighting conditions, Liu Yue could tell that this jadeite was bright and evenly colored, a very pure imperial green. The water quality was ridiculously good, almost transparent like ice crystal, flawless from any angle, and more than 20mm thick.
If a jade lover sees it, he will definitely slap his thigh and say, even if he buys a fake, he would not dare to buy one so thick!
Liu Yue was indeed moved by it. To be honest, if it was an imperial green bracelet or a string of beads, she might not like it so much. After all, this green is too strong and too bright. But it looks pretty good when made into a pendant and worn around the neck.
However, the price of this "Nothing Matter" plaque is 120 million. The boss said that it was originally going to be put up for auction, but she thought Liu Yue might like it, so she kept it.
Liu Yue smiled and just listened to it.
The economic downturn of recent years has stymied the jade market. In the past, jade fetched exorbitant prices, mostly for investment, betting on future buyers. However, the number of genuine collectors has dwindled, and even auctions often yield mixed results.
Liu Yue never considers the issue of appreciation. She is a pure collector.
But collectors only receive daily pocket money... Even if Ren Zhen and Sang Yu can bargain, it is absolutely impossible to reduce 150 million to 1 million.
She liked the Wu Shi card, but not so much that she was willing to spend her own 100 million yuan to buy it.
So Liu Yue told her boss directly that her pocket money was tight lately and she needed to think about it again. She planned to buy it when she could win 100 million, 1 billion, or execute the 10 billion plan.
If the boss found another buyer or sent it to an auction, Liu Yue wouldn't mind. There were many ways to spend money, and if she wanted to buy jade, Hetian jade was actually a good choice.
Liu Yue thought her boss would be disappointed, but she was still very enthusiastic and said there was no rush. She told him to contact her anytime when he had thought it over. She also hinted that the price could be discussed again, after all, she was an old customer.
…Well, customers who made the decision as readily as Liu Yue did before and bought immediately were actually rare. Most buyers of jadeite of this level would carefully compare prices and evaluate carefully.
When she said she was hesitant and wanted to consider it, the boss actually heard it as a sign of hope for the deal.
Let’s talk about the jade later. How should I spend the one million today?
Liu Yue had her own ideas. After hearing the entrepreneurial story of the Yan brothers and sisters yesterday, her enthusiasm for setting up stalls was rekindled.
Even though she didn’t make any money from selling hamburgers last time…it doesn’t matter, and no one calculated the profit for her, so the turnover is still pretty good!
So, she decided to go to the night market again. She wasn't going to sell burgers this time; the repetitive business was boring—especially because she was tired of playing burger Jenga. She was going to sell pasta this time!
Liu Yue also plans to upgrade her equipment. She wants to buy a food truck and some tables and chairs. After all, since they are selling pasta, in addition to designing beautiful takeout boxes, they also need to provide customers with the option of dine-in.
She bought a particularly eye-catching double-decker bus food truck and drove this big thing into the night market. She didn't even need to advertise because everyone around her could see her car.
Besides being eye-catching, this food truck is also in stock. Liu Yue likes both the color and the paint pattern of the truck, and all she needs to do is change the sign.
Double-decker cars are great because the bottom floor is the kitchen facing the customers, and you can turn on the air conditioner inside so you don't have to worry about it being too hot. The second floor is an open seating area with a windproof roof where tables and chairs can be placed.
This isn't just a mobile food truck; it can be called a mobile restaurant. Compared to the previous stall, it's a major upgrade.
When Liu Yue has an inspiration, a reliable team will execute it immediately.
Within one day, she spent one million on buying a car, designing billboards, purchasing tables, chairs, dishes and kitchen utensils, and purchasing raw materials. Several people were busy completing all the approval procedures, making additions and modifications to the ordering program designed last time, and adding a scan code ordering function.
Liu Yue described this as "entrepreneurship", while others tacitly understood that this was the expense of her playing the real version of the business simulation game.
But what does it matter? As long as she has fun.
Liu Yue felt that it was not as exaggerated as they said. After buying the food truck, she would do other businesses.
For example, she also wants to sell sushi, hot dogs, and sandwiches... There are so many types of simulation business games. As long as the game manufacturers keep innovating, she can have fun online and have a lot of new fun offline.
She was trying very hard to find ways to spend the money.
She was originally worried that the system would not recognize this as consumption and count it as "investment". She had made plans to spend her own money, but she didn't expect that this way of spending would actually be feasible.
She can’t sell the tomatoes she bought directly, but is it allowed to chop them up and add them to pasta, or make them into tomato sauce?
It seems that the system only restricts business activities such as speculation, and it tacitly allows them as long as they are processed.
There were so many ways to spend money... but she had never explored them before. In the system's words, she had never really read the hundreds of pages of densely packed fine print.
——Although, Liu Yue didn’t think this was her problem.
When He Zhiyuan heard about her "entrepreneurship plan," he was also very supportive. The night market was very close to his workplace, so he could go and help out and even bring his colleagues to support it.
Liu Yue: "Are you going to invite your colleagues to dinner?"
"No need for an appointment." He Zhiyuan said, "We'll stop by on our way home from get off work."
“But I don’t open until eight.”
"I might not get off work until nine."
...Well, thank you for your hard work, Lawyer He, who works 996.
Liu Yue decided to make him a super luxurious family pasta dish after he arrived.
Although she didn't mix the sauce or cut the ingredients, and was only responsible for removing the pasta from the pot according to the timer's prompt, this process was very important. In short, this pasta was made by her.
Yes, that's it.
Everything went as Liu Yue expected. The double-decker dining car attracted a large number of customers, many of whom took photos and checked in. Although Liu Yue prepared tables and chairs, the queues on site meant that takeaway was the main option.
Some people also asked Liu Yue if she could order takeout. Of course not. Liu Yue enjoys the feeling of being on-site. What's the point of doing takeout? She's not really doing it for the money.
At the same night market, Liu Yue also met a repeat customer.
At first, neither of them recognized each other, but as they looked at each other, a flash of inspiration came to them and they remembered.
The customer remembered Liu Yue as the wealthy burger vendor. Liu Yue also remembered that this was her first customer. Her good taste had attracted the first wave of diners.
What a coincidence, they meet again!
The customer actually remembered it based on the ordering system - this complicated menu page only cares about restoring the simulation business game and does not consider how customers place orders at all. It is really in line with her hamburger stall.
Let her see: there's long pasta, penne pasta, butterfly pasta, spiral pasta, macaroni, colorful alphabet pasta, even lasagna and ravioli... Although there were pictures, it was meant to dissuade her from choosing. Knowing she was rich and willful, the customer didn't even bother complaining this time and simply opted for the classic long pasta.
Liu Yue’s cooking method is very simple. First, cook the noodles, then pour various sauces on them and add various ingredients. They are all mixed noodles.
The guests ordered a lot of seafood, and as soon as the food was served on the table, she knew that she had made a profit again.
The seafood on Liu Yue's stall couldn't be frozen. It was most likely freshly caught today. When she was queuing on the first floor just now, she even saw the seafood pool on the car, and the crabs in the tank were still moving.
She quickly took a photo and sent it to the group - this stall owner came to the night market to do charity again. She set up a stall here and sold a plate of seafood pasta for thirty-nine yuan. The same dish was served in a Michelin restaurant, and the discounted price of three hundred and ninety yuan was the same.
My friend said that he was on a date and was going to the movies with Crush, so he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to make it in time.
She replied directly: "Men can be dated at any time. If you miss the stall owner's charity, you will regret it so much that you won't be able to sleep for several nights." The noodles here are not only cost-effective, but also super delicious!
Come quickly, really come quickly, business is so good right now that the stall owner seems to be short of stock. If you come too late, you won’t be able to eat anything!
When He Zhiyuan brought his colleagues here, the business here was still booming.
Seeing how crowded the place was, his colleagues decided not to eat in and instead decided to take food home. He Zhiyuan also rolled up his shirt sleeves, put down his briefcase, and went into the kitchen to help.
He asked Liu Yue: "What can I do for you?"
Liu Yue looked around and it seemed like there was no work for him here.
She hired a temporary waiter and brought two chefs over. She also served as the cashier, but everyone was more accustomed to scanning the QR code on their phones and ordering their meals by themselves.
"Help me pack it up," Liu Yue said. "Your colleagues' orders are coming in. I'll take out the pasta, and the chef will add the sauce. Once it's done, you can put the lid on."
He Zhiyuan: "I can just pour the sauce on it."
"No, you can't do it." Liu Yue rejected the suggestion. "You can't control the amount. If there is too little sauce, it won't be mixed evenly. If there is too much sauce, the taste will be too strong. The chef still needs to arrange the dish."
Why is it so particular? He Zhiyuan began to understand why there were so many people queuing here.
As expected of Liu Yue, even when she is doing a part-time job, she is still very dedicated.
I can only say that under He Zhiyuan's filter, no matter what Liu Yue wants to do, it is beautiful and smart.
Several of He Zhiyuan's colleagues have already placed their orders and will be queuing outside the food truck to pick up their meals.
The windows of the dining car were rolled down, and they could clearly see that He Par, the elite lawyer during the day, was busy in the dining car wearing a kitchen hat, mask and gloves, but his eyes were often fixed on the girl who was cooking pasta.
Judging from the way she was directing others...she should be the owner of this dining car and the one in He Zhiyuan's heart.
Looking at the way he stared at someone, the love in his eyes was about to melt.
The male colleague sighed, "I thought Hardy had high standards, which is why he has been single all these years. I didn't expect he likes this type."
He said "this type", but everyone around him understood what he meant.
In fact, what he wanted to say was that He Zhiyuan didn't have a good vision, so he just found someone who set up a stall at the night market.
The female colleague next to her couldn't help but sneer: "Do you know what watch that girl is wearing?"
At this point, it was hard for everyone not to look at Liu Yue's wrist.
Given their income level and the clients they usually interact with, they are somewhat familiar with luxury watches. The male colleague who just spoke was wearing a Rolex worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But the watch on Liu Yue’s wrist is Lange.
Judging from the brand alone, it seems that Rolex is better; but this is just a perpetual calendar with a three-question enamel dial and a large calendar window, limited to 50 pieces worldwide, and worth 6.5 million.
The male colleague shut his mouth awkwardly and dared not say anything.
...It turns out that setting up stalls is just a hobby for people. Rich people like to find something to do and experience the lives of ordinary people.
He felt extremely jealous. How could he have become so powerful as to cling to He Zhiyuan?
The social atmosphere is getting worse and worse nowadays. Men with a little bit of good looks don’t like to follow the right path anymore!
