Chapter 30 Ways to Make Money
Ms. Lee's restaurant sits next to a large home building materials market in the affluent neighborhood of Long Island, which originally consisted only of McDonald's and KFC, as well as a Chinese takeaway restaurant, which is an entire independent building, nearly 4,000 square feet in size, and surrounded by about 30 parking spaces. The rent is quite expensive, 8,000 dollars a month.
Generally, unless it is a large chain store, no one really dares to rent, it seems to be a chain selling marble tabletops before, because of poor management and went out of business. Li Manrui also dared to take it with Mike's encouragement, after all, there is no solid backing for this kind of restaurant, and they all hope that the rent is as cheap as possible!
The restaurant business was unexpectedly very hot as soon as it started, perhaps because Li Manrui's restaurant was the largest Japanese restaurant in the local area at that time, so many people came to watch the excitement and taste the freshness.
Especially when the weather is getting colder, it is quite fresh for foreigners to have a reunion dinner around the iron plate, even in Manhattan because there is not enough space, there are few such large-scale RB iron plate shops, and Chinese investors also open this kind of restaurant to the more remote kind of out-of-state location, and even sign a contract to give three or five years of rent-free preferential location.
After the first busy weekend, Li Manrui quickly replenished the manpower and recruited and trained some local work-study students to be used temporarily during particularly busy times. Lin Zi had been eating and living in restaurants all his life, and he saw that the restaurant was still a little trolling, although he could earn a little tip in Li Manrui's restaurant, he didn't want to waste his time in these aspects.
Lin Zitan feels that constantly replenishing his knowledge reserve is what he needs to do at present, in addition to doubling the completion of the study task, Lin Zitan has begun to study financial information, when there is no money, there is knowledge first, and then to invest when there is money to grasp the real opportunity, and Li Manrui does not want his son to take over the restaurant in the future.
Time flies quickly, and Lin Zitan has been looking for opportunities to make money in addition to exercising, going to school, and constantly chewing on books that are useful for investing in stocks. He stumbled upon an MSN account number and an email address in the original owner's diary. After logging in, he found that many people contacted him and asked him to help translate things, and after he looked at all the people in the address book and all the call records, he finally found the way Lin Zitan made money before.
Two years ago or even earlier, Lin Zitan joined this translation group, which has various translation groups, some translate movies and TV series, and some translate RB animation to foreign countries, in short, there are people who can speak various languages.
Except for a small number of Chinese, most of them are translation enthusiasts and translation companies from various countries, and most of their translations are paid, and their salaries will be paid to their respective PayPal accounts. Lin Zi entered the PayPal account and found that there were thousands of dollars in this account!
Although this money is not of much use at present, he has understood the previous owner's method of earning money, the key is that he could only translate between Chinese and English in the past, and now he can freely translate into any language! After suffering enough of the language barrier, he can suddenly be proficient in various Chinese, this super skill makes him excited again.
Lin Zitan apologized to the contact person on MSN, saying that he was unable to communicate because he participated in a closed language training summer camp some time ago, and now he is finally better, and he silently quit MSN with a personalized signature that can accept translations in various languages of various countries, anyway, those who want to translate things will take the initiative to send the translation materials to his email, and they only need to complete it quickly and ask the other party to pay PayPal before sending them the finished product.
After a period of tutoring, Lin Zitan's original fear of science courses has slowly caught up, and after learning more easily, he began to strengthen the proportion of social, art and sports, striving to make his resume not look too mediocre. Although he doesn't think that he can go to any Ivy League at this level, he will not be too ashamed if he is admitted to a relatively good university.
The strange thing is that since everyone knew that his mother had opened a restaurant, many students in their school took the initiative to invite him to various parties, in addition to birthday parties, book clubs, Halloween parties, and all kinds of bright parties. Lin Zitan would try his best to participate depending on his schedule, but he would never stay until the last minute, but would stay for a few minutes after everyone had arrived and leave quietly.
The reason why Lin Zitan participated in these gatherings was mainly to find out the two foreigner teenagers mentioned by Zhang Jing at the beginning, he is now appearing in the public eye in such a high-profile manner, in addition to the necessity of studying, the most important thing is to lure the snake out of the hole, so Zhang Jing will be dragged by him to participate together every time, but I didn't expect Zhang Jing, who originally had a negative attitude, to slowly play like a fish in water in the party!
Those students knew from the dress of the two people and Lin Zitan's family background that they were both rich people, and they had long wanted to win them over, but they were difficult to get close to before, but now the two teenagers have obviously become the focus of every party, and some people are proud to invite them.
"X, Lin Zitan, you sincerely sabotage my plan to pick up girls, right?" Zhang Jing scolded angrily when he was pulled out of the party by Lin Zitan again.
"Do you really think those girls are going to like you! they just like the money in your suit pocket!" Lin Zitan said sharply.
"Can't you like the soul under my suit pants?" Zhang Jing shook his lower half obscenely.
"I'll go, you have a hairy soul! Don't underestimate these student girls, you can play with half your life if you're crazy, take it easy!" Lin Zitan sneered.
"What I'm playing is heartbeat, it's just exciting, okay?" Although Zhang Jing knew that Lin Zitan was for his good, but the blonde and blue-eyed beauty just now was fascinated by him, and Lin Zitan had to let him leave at this time, which was really disappointing!
"Why haven't you seen that Michelle recently, it's divided?" Lin Zitan was too lazy to appease Zhang Jing, who was in Jing's brain, this guy was quite arrogant in front of his own people, but when he left Lin Zitan, he was always worried about being deceived in language, so he didn't dare to stay and play alone, so Lin Zitan said that he was so unhappy and awkward!
"Don't mention it, I've been chasing it for more than half a year, I've been fooling me, I'm annoyed, I'll talk about her for a while!" Referring to the person he didn't want to mention, Zhang Jing took a sip of old phlegm, and reached out to find a box of Marlboro from his suit pants, which he just started playing as a pastime recently, and he didn't suck much, but when he was irritable, he felt that he could really calm down the loneliness and emptiness.
"It's you, what have you been busy with lately! Every time you go to your restaurant for dinner, haven't you been there?" Zhang Jing said, lit a cigarette, took a puff in style, and turned his head to ask Lin Zitan, who was walking next to him.
"Zhang Jing, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Lin Zitan was silent for a while, then suddenly stopped and said seriously.
"Uh, I'll go, I really haven't thought about it, why do you suddenly ask this?What do you want to do?" Zhang Jing looked at Lin Zitan on the side inexplicably.
"I want to make money, make a lot of money!" When Lin Zitan said, his two eyes seemed to have a streamer, almost flashing Zhang Jing's dog eyes, but he only used one sentence to knock Zhang Jing down! He said indifferently: "X, why do you want so much money? Our family already has a lot of money, but I don't think it's useful!"
"You TM did it on purpose!" Lin Zitan heard that he had been hurt by thousands of points, and his eyes instantly dimmed!
Originally, Lin Zitan wanted to persuade Zhang Jing to do stocks with him in the future, but after hearing the voice of the rich man, he didn't bother to open his mouth again, and went to Li Manrui's restaurant in silence all the way, ready to pick up his strong female mother who was pregnant with Liujia from work.
"I said you better persuade your mother! Earning money is important, and her body is also important! You see that her belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and she is always running to the store. Zhang Jing said as he parked his car.
"Did I move her? Every time I talk about her, she says that everyone is old and beautiful to do it until the last moment before giving birth!" Lin Zitan said helplessly.
"But Auntie is not an old beauty, and besides, it is risky at her age!" Zhang Jing got out of the car and shouted loudly at Lin Zitan, who was walking briskly.
"I think you're more like her own son than me, or you can persuade him again!" Lin Zitan glanced back at him and said with a smile.
