Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 482 The Mysterious ‘Sun Never Sets’ House Type

Everyone became alive after listening to Zhu Xiaoce.

Yes, it would be too wasteful to miss this good chance by staying at home like a retard every day!

Director Zhu Xiaoce graduated from a proper related discipline. Moreover, he was the greatest contributor to Tomorrow is Beautiful other than Boss Pei. There was no reason they should let themselves off if even he was not inflated over this small success and was continuously trying to improve himself!

The rest in Fei Huang Workspace quickly understood this logic with the guidance of Zhu Xiaoce.

Generally, one should rest well and relax with paid leave. It would not be called paid leave if one thought of studying and improving oneself on leave. It should be called paid improvement.

However, that was also the crux of the problem.

People on paid leave were usually because they had been working very hard and had to take a break. However, the staff of Fei Huang Workspace was not short of rest!

The filming, editing, and publicity of Tomorrow is Beautiful was indeed rather tiring. However, everyone had enough rest half a month after the film was released!

They were happily monitoring Gou Yan every day at work without doing anything else. They might be in the office during this period, but they were playing games, watching dramas, eating rubbish food. Their exhaustion was long relieved.

At this point, more of them wanted to find something to do.

Boss Pei’s definition of ‘shock therapy’ only disallowed everyone from working, but he did not limit them from doing anything else!

They should use this company-given paid leave to gain more knowledge and improve oneself. That was an excellent chance that may not come again!

They would have to face the stress of living expenses if they were to quit and continue improving themselves. It would be very difficult to give it their all in their studies.

What about now? They had no such worry because they were still getting their wages!

Moreover, Zhu Xiaoce’s words reminded everyone of the dangerous mindset.

Tomorrow is Beautiful might have succeeded, but such a success had an element of chance and luck. That did not mean that this team was worthy of the 200 million yuan box office sales.

What if the next movie were to fail? Most of them did not want to fall into the valley after getting to the peak.

Therefore, they had to improve themselves!

They had to use this time to improve themselves so that they could reduce their reliance on Boss Pei. They had to make themselves more successful, so that they could live up to Boss Pei’s expectations.

The emotions in the group ran high.

“Where shall we go to improve ourselves?”

“I heard that some universities have Director Advancement classes which only accepted people with related experience. They condensed four years of study into a year course. They have outstanding professors and could really learn a lot from them!”

“That won’t work. This is a one year course while we only have a few months.”

“Uh, it might be useful for us, but it won’t be useful for Director Zhu, right? Even the professor might not have achieved such a high box office, let alone the students of the same level...”

Zhu Xiaoce replied, “Please do not harbor such an attitude. We did obtain some results, but these professors and teachers are world-class professionals. Please don’t become prideful because we managed to make two successful movies. We have to respect our elders.”

Huang Sibo agreed, “Yes, everyone can be a teacher. There are things we can learn from ordinary people as well, what more professional moviemakers?”

Zhu Xiaoce, “Considering the time, I would suggest for everyone to choose the postgraduate advanced training at Handong University. Classes are on Saturdays and Sundays, and it will be on for two years.

“This way, we can still go to class during weekends after the shock therapy for Fei Huang Workspace is over. “Of course, this so-called ‘training’ is not enough. Therefore, I’ll arrange for some related studies for everyone other than listening to class. Everyone should watch a movie and study the movie on days that had no classes. Write an analytical film review. Read a book on film and television every week, write reading notes and...

“I’ll ask my Professor for specific arrangements when I go back to school. I will let everyone know after I finalize the content.”

Everyone could rest assured with Zhu Xiaoce’s arrangements. He was a graduate in this major after all. He could always go back to Handong University and ask his tutors and professors if he was not clear.

Moreover, he had already made a movie like Tomorrow is Beautiful. His school had asked him a couple of times to go back and give lectures to his juniors. Such a request was nothing

Huang Sibo also had this requirement.

He switched over from the game industry. He had always felt that his foundation was weak in the process of making the movie. There were many things he did not understand. He had been busy helping Director Zhu Xiaoce out previously so he did not have the time to learn and be familiar.

He could finally make up for his shortcomings now! He was actually a little moved.

Huang Sibo received a message while he was feeling excited. “Eh? Payment has arrived!”

Pei Qian yawned in the office, ready to get off from work. Pei Qian felt that his pressure to lose money had lowered quite a bit after his arrangement for Rui Yuchen and Fish-Catching Take-Out.

He was about to leave his office when he received a message from Huang Sibo: “Boss Pei, the payment for the movie has arrived!”

Pei Qian’s heart nearly dropped.

So fast?!

He might have given Fei Huang Workspace Shock Therapy, but the payment for the movie box office was not resolved!

Another 70 million yuan were added to the company’s account in that instant.

Pei Qian felt the burden on his shoulders becoming heavy once again.

This Fei Huang Workspace only knew how to make trouble for me!

Pei Qian felt pissed off even though he knew this amount of funds would arrive in his account. It was three days early. He pretended not to see it and put his cell phone back into his pocket.

“D*mn Huang Sibo. Nothing good comes out of him coming for me! I’m going to ignore him. Hmph, fortunately, I’ve already made arrangements for this amount of money.

“Otherwise, I’ll really suffer.”

Pei Qian decided to head out tomorrow to settle the money at the speed of light. He would not be bothered if he could not see it!

Huang Sibo looked at his cell phone after half an hour. Boss Pei had yet to reply.

“Sigh, Boss Pei seems to be busy again.”

Huang Sibo was a little disappointed. He wanted to give Boss Pei a simple report on the arrangements for study when Boss Pei replied. However, Huang Sibo kept these words in his heart seeing how Boss Pei did not reply to him.

Huang Sibo changed his mind again after thinking about it calmly for half an hour.

He felt that he should not report such a matter.

An ordinary boss would only react in two ways if he knew that his employees were taking lessons and improving themselves. First, he must not have enough to do since he had so much free time; second, he wanted to jump to other companies.

There would only be a crueler and more inhumane squeeze on the employee.

Of course, Huang Sibo knew very well that Boss Pei was not such a boss.

Boss Pei was a good boss who attached great importance to employees’ rest time and personal space. That was why none of the Tengda employees would want to change jobs.

That being the case, every employee improving themselves in their spare time would only be able to better complete the tasks assigned by Boss Pei and also to realize their own potential.

However, even so, there was still no need to report it upwards.

That was because Huang Sibo felt that such matters should be taken for granted in Tengda, why should he report it to Boss Pei?

It would only reflect badly upon himself as though he was asking for credit.

Boss Pei hated employees asking for credit.

Huang Sibo, therefore, dismissed this idea decisively and began to discuss the next training plan with the others in the Fei Huang Workspace chat group.

April 12th, Tuesday... Pei Qian sat on the car with the map showing where he was going: Jingzhou Dawn of Prosperous City. This was a mid-high end real estate in Jingzhou.

Pei Qian liked it mainly for two reasons. First, it was relatively close to the company. He could reach it within 20 minutes of walking. Second, there was a building that Pei Qian felt matched his requirements.

Of course, it had to be confirmed at the scene itself.

Pei Qian decided what to do with the money Tomorrow is Beautiful made.

Buy real estate!

Of course, it was not real estate in general.

The system did not allow Pei Qian to be engaged in the business of real estate, but it did not disallow Pei Qian from using the system funds to buy buildings. The difference was whether the building was bought for production and business activities or not.

Just like the semi-commercial villa of Ming Yun Private Kitchen. He could not buy it and leave it there. It was alright to open a restaurant within it.

This time, Pei Qian decided to build a brand to rent houses. He even had a name ready, ‘Sloth Apartment’.

There were three advantages to this new industry:

Buying a building could quickly consume a large amount of system funds. At present, Pei Qian’s starting sum was 20 million yuan. Fixed assets were converted to 10%, which meant that it was acceptable for Pei Qian to spend 60 to 70 million to buy a building.This apartment could be used for employee welfare at the same time. Pei Qian could move in and use the system funds to pay for it.

Decoration, purchase of furniture, daily cleaning, maintenance, utilities, etc... everything could cause more losses.

Of course, there were risks with it. The risk was that it would make profits if this brand became popular and everything rushed to rent it. Of course, Pei Qian thought of this issue earlier on and thought of a way to not make any profits.

First was room type, second was the price.

It could be seen from the floor plan on the mobile phone that the house in Jingzhou’s ‘Dawn of Prosperous City’ was a very rare ‘high-end floor plan.

“The sun never sets’ house type with 360 degrees daylight without any blind spots from east to west! The whole building had a cylindrical shape with sunlight during the day and moonlight at night. Combining the essence of heaven and earth-shining with sun and moon, it could be known as a fighter plane.[a]

Pei Qian wanted to complain when he saw the plan. This house was very suitable for sunflowers. One could go around the enclosure to bask in the sun every day and never miss a minute of sunshine. However, such a house type was very in-line with Boss Pei’s requirements!

[a]Is this an idiom? Please explain how this relates to the room.
