36. The power of money
It is not difficult to persuade Ye Haven to engage in design work, but the real difficulty lies in whether the other party can maintain self-discipline in the coming days after agreeing.
After all, this guy is too young now, and he is a game maniac, and he wants him to quit the game completely and calm down and work hard, Huang Shouzhen is not sure at all.
The most important thing is that he and Ye Haiwen are not in the same living area, and in the next time, he will probably be very busy, and he will definitely not be able to supervise the latter.
But this is a matter of the future after all, and Huang Shouzhen can only take one step and see one step at present.
Because it was still early, and it only took less than a day to completely purchase the furniture, Huang Shouzhen thought about it, and did not rush back to school with Ye Haiwen, but took the bus again and went to the Gray Bridge Digital Mall, which is not far from the current family.
If you want to work in design, the material cost is not high, just a computer and a printer, but the time cost is very high.
Because if you want to become a good designer, no matter how talented you are, it takes a long time to accumulate.
Huang Shouzhen's current design level is already very top-notch, but if he really wants to make progress, he still has unlimited room for improvement, after all, design is endless.
After Ye Haiwen followed Huang Shouzhen to the Gray Bridge Digital Mall, he was a little confused, "Ah Zhen, what are we doing here, do you want to buy a computer?"
Huang Shouzhen nodded and replied: "Yes, what else can you do if you don't buy a computer in the digital mall?"
"Uh...... Okay, but our college rules that you are not allowed to bring a computer in the first half of your freshman year. Ye Haiwen said with some frustration.
When Huang Shouzhen heard this, he turned his head and glanced at the latter, "Old Ye, when did you become so honest?
When Ye Haiwen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Without waiting for the other party to say anything, Huang Shouzhen said in a light tone: "Our college also stipulates that you can't bring a computer for the entire freshman year, but how can you work without a computer?"
"Uh...... But I don't have any money on me, I read the rules and regulations of the college that I am not allowed to bring a computer in the first half of my freshman year, so I didn't ask my parents to give me this money. ”
"Okay, then you can buy it later, anyway, I've already brought you here where computers are sold, and you can find them yourself in the future." ”
Huang Shouzhen waved his hand indifferently, then walked into the mall and began to buy a computer for himself.
Back in 2009, the current computer configuration is undoubtedly much worse than the future, so in order to be able to smoothly use 3DMax to provide his own 3D renderings, Huang Shouzhen must choose a desktop computer with a relatively high configuration.
As for the brand, he doesn't know much about digital products, so he doesn't have any special needs.
And after he chose the computer and withdrew the money to pay, Ye Haiwen was shocked by the price he chose.
"Ah Zhen, you actually spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy a computer? If your mother knew that you were such a big spender, she would have to scold you. ”
When Ye Haiwen was in middle school, he often went to Huang Shouzhen's house as a guest, so he naturally knew Ma Xiaoxia, and also knew that the latter was a very frugal person in life.
However, when Huang Shouzhen heard this, he didn't care, and said indifferently: "I spent my own money to buy a computer, why would she scold me?"
"What is it? your own money, where did you get so much ......" Ye Haiwen's face was full of surprise, and then he reacted suddenly, and exclaimed: "No...... Could it be that this is the money you earned during the summer vacation to help others do designs?"
"Or else?"
Huang Shouzhen glanced at the other party, then stuffed the box with the display screen into the other party's hand, and he hugged the main chassis and walked to the road outside.
"This ...... I'll go!"
Ye Haiwen was a little incoherent with excitement, and while catching up with Huang Shouzhen's footsteps, he couldn't help but ask: "Ah Zhen, how much money do you make, do you make so much money doing design?"
Didn't you only work for two months and earn more than 10,000?"
Huang Shouzhen didn't answer about the money, but said: "I'm an independent designer, my money is only related to the size of the project, not time, besides, I don't work for others, I receive a fixed amount of dead wages every month......
Ye Haiwen was confused, after all, he didn't know anything about the design industry now, and naturally he didn't know how to charge, so he stared at the most important point and continued to ask: "You just say, how much money did you make in total this summer?"
Huang Shouzhen saw that Ye Haiwen was so chattering about the amount of money, and glanced at the latter angrily.
This guy simply doesn't understand the rules, and even asks such a private question as the design fee.
But he thought about it for a while, and still replied: "Ten thousand!"
With his current design level, a 120-square-meter house only charges a design fee of 10,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly too low to be lower, but Zhou Wentao and his wife directly gave him 10,000 yuan at that time, and he also wanted to snatch the project from Zhou Xingmin, so he was embarrassed to raise the price again, so he could only sell it half and give it away.
"You're a ...... I made 10,000 yuan in one summer vacation? The net profit of my parents' two stores combined is probably not as high as yours. ”
Ye Haiwen couldn't help but swear again, and quickly recalled that Huang Shouzhen invited him to do design half an hour ago, so he hurriedly said in a flattering tone: "Ah Zhen, you take me to do the design, this thing comes too fast, if I can earn 5,000 a month, my mother will probably have to laugh out loud when she falls asleep." ”
Huang Shouzhen was speechless for an instant.
Sure enough, I said so many big truths, which is far less useful than talking about money.
It seems that Lao Ye, this guy, also likes money in his bones, but in his last life, he became a salted fish too early, so he wanted to make money later, but he couldn't get it.
But also, in this era, except for the person surnamed Ma, who wouldn't be interested in money?
......
It normally takes more than an hour to get back to Chashan University Town in the remote suburbs of Chashan Digital Plaza in the city center, but Huang Shouzhen and his wife unfortunately encountered rush hour after work, so when they returned to school, it was almost past six o'clock.
So, he invited Lao Ye to have a light meal at the fast food restaurant at the school gate first, and then the two of them carried a box and returned to the dormitory in Area A.
Xu Fan, who had already eaten dinner and was resting in the dormitory at the moment, saw that he had disappeared for a whole day, but finally came back with two boxes, and couldn't help but be curious: "Shouzhen, where did you go today, there was no one early in the morning." ”
When Huang Shouzhen heard this, he smiled and said truthfully: "I went to the city." ”
"You're going to play in the city, why don't you call us, it's not interesting?"
"Uh...... There's really nothing fun in the city, I used to buy a computer. Huang Shouzhen heard Zhou Min next to him scream, and casually found an excuse to be perfunctory.
However, Ye Haiwen, who was following him, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard him say this.
This guy is really liing!
