Chapter 137 Chapter 137 Spending Money Day 137
Liu Yue's original intention of playing with the 3D printer was just to choose the right sculpting pose for Lucas.
But the more she played, the more addicted she became, and her printing range has expanded from kitten models to all the new and interesting things on the website.
When Sang Yu came over, Liu Yue was fiddling with the abstract things she had just printed.
She downloaded the model from the website. The finished product looked like a crushed can, but it was actually a phone holder. Next to it was a small white pillow, also a phone holder. On the other side was an upright arm with five fingers stretched out, also a phone holder...
"You're here!" Liu Yue looked up at her. "I'm planning to set up a stall and sell all these things."
Sang Yu raised the corner of his mouth to smile: "That will definitely be popular."
——I'll arrange a few people to help me later. Do you want to create an atmosphere and make it look like there are many people scrambling for the goods?
As for pricing, it is definitely the thing that Liu Yue cares least about.
All the money she earned from these days' tasks was used to pay for the 3D models. Although there were many free items on the website, she bought whatever she liked and did not need to consider the cost-effectiveness when spending money.
Sang Yu came over to report to her, "We've already contacted the studio about the gold sculpture. We expect to receive their design and cost quote within a week. If we expedite the work, it can be completed and shipped to Shenzhen before Lucas' birthday."
As long as she can make it, Liu Yue had already planned to give Lucas a special birthday party. This is the kitten's first birthday!
Moreover... cats have a much shorter lifespan than humans. The longest-lived cat in the world only lived for 38 years. It can celebrate birthdays far fewer times than humans, so Liu Yue always celebrates it with great fanfare.
When Liu Yue asked about this, Sang Yu nodded and said, "I've been keeping an eye on the progress of the villa's renovations. It should be ready for handover in mid-December."
The villa she had bought previously had the design chosen in August. It was already furnished, and Liu Yue only modified the internal structure, so the construction period was not that long from scratch.
This time, the cat's birthday must be held in the cat villa. It just so happens that she wants to have a lively New Year's Eve.
How can you spend New Year’s Eve? You must invite some friends. It would be even more exciting if you can hold a small concert.
Liu Yue and Sang Yu said, "Go play some popular songs for Lucas later and see which one he gets the most excited about. Then you can contact that singer and invite him to sing."
Sang Yu nodded calmly, as if what he heard was not an invitation for a famous singer to sing at home, but an invitation for friends around to sing karaoke at a party.
——Although, there doesn’t seem to be much difference in difficulty between the two?
This isn't abstract; she can actually invite someone. And she doesn't invite just anyone; it depends on who the kitten likes to sing.
Sang Yu came here this time for another reason.
She came to confirm with Liu Yue: "Do you really want to go to the South Pole?"
"yes."
Liu Yue was polishing the newly printed mobile phone holder at this time. She was a little surprised when she heard Sang Yu ask this.
She traveled to many places this year, and for almost every trip she said she wanted to go, the team immediately carried it out. This was the first time that Sang Yu confirmed with her again.
Liu Yue asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with the weather this year or something else? We can't go to Antarctica?"
Sang Yu explained to her that going to Antarctica and going to the South Pole are two completely different concepts.
If she wants to see penguins, admire glaciers, seals and whales, see the world of ice and snow, and experience polar diving, then going to the Antarctic Circle is enough.
The above items can be enjoyed on a comfortable cruise ship, where she can stay in the most luxurious suite and enjoy the ice and snow outside the window in a warm room.
However, the South Pole can only be reached by plane, and the difficulty of reaching it is several times greater. However, the scenery Liu Yue can see is no different from that of the outer circle, and there are even fewer activities to play.
Moreover, if you want to go to the South Pole, you must stand on the glacier. The altitude near the South Pole is 2,835 meters.
Because Liu Yue had experienced altitude sickness in Dali, where the average altitude is 2,090 meters, Sang Yu was very worried about whether her body could adapt to the South Pole.
Although the entourage accompanying her to the South Pole would certainly include a doctor, it was too cold there. The cold wind would accelerate the body's demand for oxygen, which would be a great test for Liu Yue's cardiopulmonary function.
In short, going to the Antarctic Circle is tourism, while going to the South Pole is more like an adventure. Sang Yu suggested that Liu Yue think carefully before setting off.
Her health is the most important thing. As for booking air tickets, campsites, and customized itineraries with international travel agencies... anything that can be solved with money is a small matter.
Liu Yue scratched her head. "It's not that bad. I got altitude sickness when I went to Dali. It was just because I didn't exercise much before, so my cardiopulmonary function was weakened. But I've been exercising for the past six months and traveling all over the world, so my body has been trained for a long time."
She even got her diving certificate! The altitude sickness she experienced was purely accidental, and Liu Yue was confident that her physical fitness was absolutely fine.
The system reminded: "Host, as of now, no mission information related to the fragment has been received." "Yes, I know." Liu Yue replied in her mind, "This is just my intuition, and I want to go myself."
Is the fragment definitely in Antarctica, or definitely at the South Pole? No one has ever guaranteed it to her.
Before Sang Yu came to ask her, Liu Yue had only considered it a special trip, but after she said that, she became very interested in this adventure. She just wanted to see what the southernmost part of the world looked like.
Based on her previous income, the cost of going to Antarctica was very high, and climbing to the South Pole was even more expensive. This was a million-dollar dream, perhaps only achievable in dreams.
But now, it is just an idea of Liu Yue.
She didn't have to wait for a draw of one million to customize a travel plan, nor did she care whether there were any debris near the pole... After making this decision, Liu Yue inexplicably felt her whole body light and her chest relaxed.
——Liu Yue would be happier if Ren Zhen didn’t assign her daily aerobic training.
But there was no other way. If she wanted to reach the South Pole, this was necessary preparation. If Ren Zhen wanted to use this to dissuade her, she was wrong!
Liu Yue followed her training obediently, with such a high degree of cooperation that even Sang Yu was a little shocked. It seemed that she really wanted to go to the South Pole.
Well, rich people always have such wild ideas... But no matter what, she is going to start applying for private jet routes.
Theoretically, no visa is required to go to Antarctica, but Liu Yue’s private plane cannot reach the Antarctic continent directly. It must first transfer in Chile or South Africa and take a special plane to land in Antarctica.
Sang Yu did not apply for a visa to Chile. There were many things to do in December, so she had to stay and oversee the decoration of the villa and pay attention to the progress of the golden sculpture.
Moreover, her physical fitness is not as good as Ren Zhen and Zhang Cheng. If Liu Yue is fine after going to the extreme point, but she gets sick and uncomfortable, it would be too embarrassing. It is better not to take the risk.
While doing aerobic exercise, Liu Yue is still obsessed with her 3D printer.
She gave up her plan to set up a stall and opened an online store instead.
Liu Yue thought about it carefully and realized that setting up a stall to sell her products one by one was too troublesome, and the location was limited to Shenzhen, which would prevent more people from appreciating her carefully crafted products.
While there are templates that can be purchased and downloaded directly, there are also some of her own creations! She even hired several professional modelers to realize her new ideas anytime, anywhere.
Moreover, she has posted her printed items online. In order to prevent her from being exposed offline, she should open an online store.
Liu Yue thinks this decision is wise - she couldn't make money from setting up a stall before because her costs were too high, but this time, opening an online store can be run at almost zero cost.
As for the price of the 3D printer, the cost of consumables, and the licensing fees for commercial models... well, these are just toys she's had enough of playing with and reusing, so how can they be counted as costs?
After Liu Yue made some calculations, she found that this thing had a huge profit margin and this business venture would definitely be successful!
Team perspective: I understand. This time we’re playing house in a new way.
Liu Yue set up her online store. When she recommended a product for the first time in a video, her fans thought that the blogger was finally going to take some advertising.
Those who disliked her before also wanted to catch this "weak point" of hers - bragging about being a rich girl. It turns out that all she did before was to create her persona, and now she is finally going to start cutting leeks?
Looking at her store, everything is 9.9 with free shipping, and everything she sells is made with her 3D printer.
After seeing the specific products, her fans and haters were silent.
Xiao Fang is a fan who has been following Xinyue for a long time. She was speechless for a moment, but still forwarded the link of this store to her roommate group.
She said to her roommate, "Aren't you thinking about buying one of those silk-textured 3D-printed phone cases? This store has them."
When my roommate opened it, he was a little bit unbelievable. Was this too cheap?
Moreover, why is this phone case only compatible with Apple 17pro max...Do other models need to privately chat with customer service for customization?
Xiao Fang knows Xinyue very well: "Because that's what she uses. These phone cases must have been made by her for her own fun."
"Ah, you're selling it second-hand?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely new." Xiao Fang explained helpfully, "I saw her previous post. She has a lot of things she wants to print and doesn't want to wait too long, so she bought twenty printers."
"She polishes each phone case herself. She treats it as a handmade toy, but she makes too many for her own use, so she puts the extra ones up on her online store."
Twenty printers? My roommate was scratching his head when he heard this. Rich people are really willing to spend money for their hobbies. They don’t hesitate to buy so many machines at once just to play with them earlier.
Fortunately, my roommate used this model of mobile phone. She placed an order and found that the product was sold out.
Tsk, they are indeed handmade toys made by a rich woman, each item is a unique limited edition.
My roommate had a brilliant idea: "You said, since she is playing with it as a toy, if I can provide the graphic design of the phone case, will she help me model it and make it into a real thing?"
"If she's interested, then it's very possible!"
My roommate sent a message to the store’s customer service. Although it showed as read, it was actually a reply from the AI.
Well... rich people open online stores for fun, and you can't expect them to respond with the same speed as professional customer service.
What her roommate didn’t expect was that the express delivery she ordered arrived before Xinyue’s reply.
The 9.9 free shipping product was actually sent by SF Express. The blogger is really playing the business game at his own expense.
