In the whole month of May, Qin Li received a total of four orders and earned 1,200. Although it is a small order of three or five days, the money earned is far from enough to cover the cost of expenditure, but after all, it is open. We were very happy, went to the supermarket to buy fish, shrimp, pig and beef, and brushed a hot pot in the garden.
Thomas raised his glass and was uttering his congratulations at the top of his lungs when Mrs. Schroeder arrived with her two naughty children. Little tiger not seen for half a year, and grew a lot of height, now has been able to fly.
Smelling the fragrance, they both broke away their mother's hand at the same time and ran over. Little Tiger looked at the things purring in the pot, with a curious look on his face, and asked, "Li, what delicious food are you cooking?"
"This is hot pot. Put the raw ones in the soup and cook them. Then you can eat them with the sauce." In front of the two children, Thomas showed the calm of the old driver.
Little Tiger said, "I want to eat."
And he reached for the vegetables.
Fortunately, Yan Sen was quick to catch him by his fat hand, which did not lead to tragedy.
Mrs. Schroeder hurriedly picked up the little tiger, looked at them apologetically, and before she could say anything, the little tiger broke away.
Big tiger see Thomas a shrimp slippery, a fish ball, eat that sweet, also greedy is not good, swallow the saliva, can not help but ask, "delicious?"
Thomas nodded, "This is our family to make it, tender and fresh."
Big Tiger asked, "Is it better than Gijon?"
Thomas nodded, picked up a fish ball, put it in front of the big tiger's mouth, and said, "Don't believe you try."
Big tiger eyes staring at the fish balls are almost crossed eyes, for fear of Thomas to stop, quickly moved close to his face ah woo a bite, will swallow the fish balls.
As Tiger and Mrs. Schroeder watched him eat, they asked in unison, "How's it going? Is it good?"
Big tiger chewed a few times, then swallowed, nodded hard, said, "Delicious."
Then he looked at Thomas and said, "More."
Thomas shook his head. "No."
Big tiger face black looking at a table of dishes, "obviously there are."
Thomas deadpanned, "It's all ours, no you..."
Thomas this boy is really more live more back, and children can also make a ball, Qin Li slap in the back of Thomas's head, he has not exported the last three words patted back.
Qin Li stood up and said, "Have you had lunch? Would you like to join us?"
The foreigner was not pretending to be polite, and when she asked, Mrs. Schroeder said cheekily, "That's a problem."
The two children were even more excited.
Qin Li let Yan Sen go to the cellar to move a few chairs, three extra seats for mother and son, and then took three sets of tableware back.
Hot pot is a good thing, and like instant noodles, it's so easy to conquer foreign stomachs.
The hotpot recipe was so simple and predictable that Mrs. Schroeder could make it herself when she got home, and the two children cheered with joy.
When they were 90% full, they leaned back contentedly, touched their round bellies, and opened the chat mode.
At this time, Mrs. Schroeder patted her head, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Hot pot is so delicious that I almost forgot the purpose of coming here."
Thomas asked. "Yes, what's the matter with you?"
Mrs. Schroeder's voice was a little excited, and she looked like something good was coming, and she said over there, "Do you remember that cow ranch?"
Qin Li thought about it, but remembered that there was such a thing, the road, "Is it the Chinese company that said to buy milk?"
After a lapse of half a year, Yan Sen had long since put this matter behind him, and now, once reminded, it just came to mind.
Qin Li is very lamented, said this cow ranch or their own into the village of gold fingers. At the beginning, I eagerly hoped that the company would send someone to investigate, so that I could be a translator and get benefits. Unfortunately, it has been nothing. Later, a lot of things happened, and Qin Li gradually forgot this thing, and now Mrs. Schroeder mentioned the old thing again, it seems that good luck is coming.
"Are they going to come and investigate?"
Mrs. Schroeder nodded, "We got an E-mail the other day saying that they were going to Germany on June 3, with a tour of Frankfurt and a visit here on the fifth for a total of three days, head and tail."
Qin Li others do not care, just want to know, "Where do they live?"
"Not yet," said Mrs. Schroeder. "That's what I came to talk to you about today. Isn't your family having a farmhouse? Can you vacate the house and rent it to them in the meantime?"
Qin Li did not speak, Thomas grabbed the way, "Pay? If you don't pay, no. We're businessmen. We don't do business at a loss."
This said to Qin Li's heart, it is not what it used to be, there was no income at that time, and he felt that a commission of one or two thousand would be good. But now she opened the farmhouse, and regard it as a career in doing, if let her contribute to the house in vain, affect her to open the business, but also absolutely unwilling.
So, she quietly praised Thomas, so it is sometimes good to have low emotional intelligence, to say things that normal people are too embarrassed to say.
Smell speech, Mrs. Schroeder busy waving, "not free, is paid." They are willing to pay the same price as online reservations."
After hearing this, Qin Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that he was a little bit of the heart of a gentleman. These companies sent delegations, generally have a budget, should not save a few money, the way, "That line, I give you a business card, let them according to the business card website to book rooms." I will arrange a house for them according to their reservation."
Mrs. Schroeder, "That's what I came here to say."
With that, she asked, "Is the deal still up?"
What had been said before, Qin Li had forgotten to go to Java, and there was not even a shadow in his head.
Seeing her confused look, Mrs. Schroeder reminded her, "If you serve them for me, we'll give you 1 percent a year when the contract is signed."
Qin Li immediately reacted and corrected, "No, we clearly agreed on 5%."
Mrs. Schroeder tried to press her, but seeing that she didn't have amnesia, she allowed her to say, "Yes, it was five percent. I was wrong."
Qin Li said, "Words are not valid, let's sign a contract."
"No," Mrs. Schroeder said. "It's another expense. It's a hassle."
Qin Li had suffered losses before, and now she trusted no one but herself, so she firmly shook her head, "Black characters on a white background, clearly written, there will be no disputes in the future."
"She and my brother both signed prenuptial agreements."
Mrs. Schroeder, "..."
"All right, all right, that's it." Mrs. Schroeder can't help it. Why should they want anything from her? She secretly clenched her fist, now everyone is hot China this big market, who does not want to share a piece of the soup, understand Chinese is really too advantageous, later she will let her son also to learn Chinese.
Qin Li said, "Do you want to find a lawyer or should I?"
"Don't you have a friend who works at a law firm? You better find it."
Qin Li nodded. She is now also a network celebrity, often there are German company brands to find her endorsement advertising, although the income is only three to four figures, but still have to sign the contract. Discretion is the best thing to do, so she asked Patrick to set her up with a fairly priced lawyer who would be her gatekeeper.
After Mrs. Schroeder left, Qin Li asked, "How much milk can all the cows in your village produce in a year? Do you have the number?"
Yan Sen said, "If the harvest is good, it can be 100 tons."
Smell, Thomas immediately calculated an account for her, "according to what she said, 3 euros a kilogram, one hundred tons is three hundred thousand euros, if you take 5% of the commission, that is 15,000 euros." Wow, Li, you're going to be rich."
Qin Li looked calm. He earned fifteen thousand a year and only one thousand a month. Not much, to be honest.
When Mrs. Schroeder came to talk to them about it last year, Thomas wasn't there, so this is the first time we're hearing about it. Milk in Germany has been unable to sell prices, they have been worried, and now have such a good business opportunity, suddenly happy. I pick up a beer, and I'm toast.
In contrast, Yan Sen is still relatively stable, on the side of the two people poured cold water, "Chinese businessmen just come to visit, have not signed a contract, don't laugh too early."
Thomas was already beaming and confident, "We are the milk of the Alps, who else is more authentic than us?"
Qin Li is also optimistic, "Let's wait for a win-win situation."
* * *
June, gradually into the early summer, which can be said to be the most beautiful season in Germany. It's also the busiest season for those of you who work in the travel industry.
On June 3, the Chinese delegation arrived as scheduled, and the villagers paid to rent an Iveco and specially went to the railway station to pull them back. A total of 15 people came. It was supposed to be ten people, but now it's five more than planned.
Shenniu Ranch used to be a state-owned enterprise, but later, according to the reform of the national system, state-owned enterprises were privatized, and now it is a private enterprise with state control.
Bao was always one of the shareholders, in his fifties, and spoke with more authority. In and out are surrounded by people, very big leadership style, but everyone is overseas, in front of foreigners on the shelf also does not mean much, after all, the culture is different, people do not understand you this spectrum ah! Therefore, the bag is still very approachable, see who is smiling. It's just that his entourage is annoying, he's the head of the procurement section, and he takes every chance he gets.
Qin Li took them back to the farmhouse, Qin Li spent 780,000 decoration, still very confident in their own house. Who knew, the purchasing section chief Lu looked at it, and immediately cried out in a strange way, "Such a shabby house can also live in people?"
When Qin Li heard this, his face suddenly darkened. The house was built early, and it was renovated in the 1970s and 1980s. It has been many years since then. But the outside looks old, and that means the inside is broken. Paint the walls, but it is a matter of minutes, the key is to internal equipment, such as heat insulation, cold insulation, sound insulation, these are invisible luxuries.
Going out is always a guest, Bao always a little embarrassed, dry cough voice, "Which house I live in, Miss Qin can take me to see."
Qin Li picked up the glass heart, braced himself, and took them upstairs.
Chief Lu said, "Mr. Bao, your legs are not good, and it is not convenient to climb up and down here." I say we book three nights at a five-star hotel nearby..."
Before the words were finished, I heard Qin Li Liang whizzing over there, "There is no five-star hotel here."
Chief Lu, "What about the hotel? There must be."
Qin Li sneered, "You can book next year, there may be one or two rooms available."
Chief Lu, "I don't believe rich people can't live in houses."
Qin Li, "Then you have a try."
General Bao frowns, "Well, I think it's good here, you don't have to do much, just stay here."
See boss impatient, Lu section chief immediately shut up dare not say more.
Qin Li showed them the house, and when the door opened, there was an immediate feeling of a new look.
Someone can't help but wow, "the scenery here is beautiful."
Qin Li secretly thought, of course, even if the five-star hotel may not have the direction of my mountain bordering the water.
The room is nice, but it's not enough for 15 people.
In this way, the package always carry forward the style, and take the initiative to share a room with his employees. However, the boss is just polite, who really dare to treat polite as a blessing. Therefore, one of the four suites with the best orientation will give the package to live in, the remaining three suites, to live fourteen people, even if three people squeeze a set, four houses are not enough to live.
Some people suggest a floor shop, Qin Li does not agree, not that she must make money, but the house rental law has clearly stipulated that a person must have at least 24 square meters of living space. If one of the pinkeye patients turns her in, she's gonna be stuck
Not having a house to live in is also very troublesome, although there are three vacant rooms on the second floor, but they are not renovated, and they are full of groceries, and certainly can not live in them, and can not let them camp like Germans...
Qin Li had an idea, suddenly remembered the old Muller's hotel, the ground floor is the hotel, there are four sets of rooms above empty. The old Mill house was built late, new both externally and internally, and could be lived in with a little tidied up.
Unfortunately, it's not decorated. The furniture and equipment are old. Qin Li was a kind man, embarrassed to charge them 100 euros a day, so he gave them a 50% discount.
As soon as the first foot had settled them in, Mrs. Schroeder rushed in excitedly with the other dairy farmers, came through the door and asked, "We're all set. When are we going to the field trip?"
Bao Zong waved a big hand, look calm way, "this is not urgent."
Mrs. Schroeder looked at each other. How could she not be anxious? They had flown ten thousand miles to investigate. They this pedestrian here a total of three days, see the pasture to see cows taste milk, one day is not necessarily enough time, do not hurry, how can it be in time?
The Germans may not be clear, but Qin Li, a genuine Chinese, is still very clear in his heart, and most of these people come here to eat, drink and have fun under the name of investigation. As for whether we can sign a contract, it is not to see whether the milk here is good, but whether we can serve them comfortably.
So Qin Li asked tentatively, "How about tomorrow I take you to the scenic spot of King Lake for a tour?"
Sure enough, the response was overwhelming.
Mrs. Schroeder couldn't understand Chinese, and she blinked and worried.
Qin Li turned to everyone and said, "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for people, this matter is on me."
At this point, she paused and said, "You have not wronged this 5%, I will be tired into a dog in these three days."
Mrs. Thomas, with a half-understanding of what she had said to her, was still struggling with the question of why not go straight to the pasture tomorrow when she was free.
