Chapter 2526: Rustling Down (21)

"Can you tell me how you earned 100 US dollars in one afternoon?" Shiler still cared about this matter.

It's not even the millennium yet, and earning 100 US dollars in one afternoon, earning 200 US dollars a day, and earning 6,000 US dollars a month, this can be considered a proper high salary even in the United States in the 21st century. The salary of ordinary people is about 3,000~4,000 US dollars, and those with a monthly family income of 10,000 US dollars belong to the middle class.

"We moved several houses," Raven said while cleaning the refrigerator. "At first, there were only two orders, but because we moved very fast, we moved the next day's orders to today."

"And also because the moving was very fast and the items were not damaged, every employer gave tips, adding up to almost 10 US dollars."

"Are you using telekinesis to move?"

"Of course, my telekinesis can almost lift a building. It's still very easy to move some furniture."

Raven was taking out the vegetables in the kitchen to re-classify them. Shiler also walked over and said, "Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet, I haven't been home for long. Can you cook? I bought frozen noodles in the supermarket. How to make them cooked?"

Shiler took out a pot from the cupboard below, took the noodles from Raven's hand, unpacked them, and said, "It seems your moving company has a lot of prospects."

"Yes, but Wei Lun feels that we can earn more money. It's a pity that our car is too small now, and we can only move ordinary families. We can't move slightly larger villas and companies."

"Is your money not enough to buy a car?"

"Wei Lun's money is only enough to rent a storefront. Only with a storefront can we open for business and accept orders, and establish a formal company. But if we rent a house, it's not enough to buy a car."

Shiler calculated in his heart. Wei Lun's storefront must be rented in the East District because the rent there is cheap and the flow of people is huge. It is a good place to do small business.

But no matter how cheap the rent is, the storefront only accepts annual rent. Even if the rent is only a few hundred US dollars a month, it must be paid at least a few thousand US dollars at one time, and maybe there is a deposit. This should be the limit of Killer Croc's savings.

If he wants to move big villas and companies, the car needed cannot be a small van, but must be a large van. Different from the semi-trailer trucks driven by Joker and the others, large vans are sold more expensively.

And this kind of car has low local production, and it is difficult to find a good second-hand one. It is easy to have problems if you piece it together, and maintenance is also a big problem at that time. It is better to buy a new car.

It's not that a semi-trailer can't move, but you still have to buy a fully enclosed carriage, and the carriage is not cheap either.

Shiler thought about it and decided to call Killer Croc. He felt that he could use the spare money in his hand to invest. Killer Croc's moving company had a lot of prospects.

Plus the 1,000-plus US dollars paid by Cobblepot before, Shiler had nearly 10,000 US dollars in savings. Taking out a few thousand to buy a car for Killer Croc could allow him to share the profits of the moving company, at least not sitting and eating the sky.

Killer Croc rushed in not long after Shiler finished the call, and even carried a lot of barbecue, making Shiler have to turn on the central ventilation system of the house to ensure that the smell wouldn't stay in the house for too long.

Killer Croc looked very excited. He didn't expect his wish to be realized so quickly. He put the rental contract and company application materials on the table and said to Shiler, "Don't worry, Professor, I bet this is your most successful investment."

"I heard from Raven that the Forgotten Bookstore near the turntable is actually opened by two mages. I have to say, what kind of bookstore is opened? It's tiring and doesn't make money. It's better to come to me to move. It's easy to earn a few thousand US dollars a month."

Shiler hesitated slightly, but still opened his mouth and said, "Is there any problem? At least I have more money than you."

"But I thought you were the kind who didn't need money... Well, I don't have much money, but it's always been like this, I'm used to it," Constantine sat on the sofa and said. "Wandering has the way of wandering, doesn't it?"

Obviously, Constantine is the kind of person whose art and thoughts can be eaten as a meal. As for the quality of life, he doesn't care at all. If he can live, he lives. If he can't live, it's okay to die.

After he quit all those bad habits, the cost of living he needed was low to the point of being outrageous. Having a house to live in and a bite to eat is enough. He is even very satisfied with the current status of opening a shop.

But it's a pity that Zatanna is a normal person. She is full of crises, feeling that this is definitely not going to work. There are fewer and fewer customers in the bookstore. Everyone is reading e-books on mobile phones. Sooner or later, the bookstore will not be able to sell a single book. She must prepare early.

Zatanna also has a belly of scriptures that are difficult to read. In the past, her family was a magic family. Not only was there no worry about food and drink, but the status was also noble. As the strongest successor of this family, if it weren't for her father's disappearance, her mission would be to lead the family to create brilliance again.

But it's a pity that after a wave of vampire events, the magic world was exhausted, and she was also betrayed by her family, almost dying in this event. Since then, she has had no family.

However, it's fortunate that for so many years, she has been traveling around the world looking for her father and has also done quite a few odd jobs. She is not the kind of eldest lady who can't suffer.

After determining the basic plan, several people performed their duties. Shiler took the rental contract and company agreement left by Killer Croc to find Harvey, asking him to help review the contract. Killer Croc took Raven to see the car, and Zatanna took Constantine to decorate the storefront of the newly opened company.

Shiler asked for a leave of absence for a morning. Fortunately, he only had one class this morning, and the progress missed was not much.

After finishing the general matters, several parties signed the contract and had a meal in the new storefront. By the time Shiler rushed to school in the afternoon, he heard that the new principal had arrived and was holding a meeting now.

It was too late to attend the meeting now, so Shiler could only wait for the result in the office. Not long after, the new trend of school management came out, mainly including the following points.

It is necessary to ensure the virtuous cycle of the sports college, that is, training to win invitation games to earn ticket money. No matter how much money is spent on invitation, the invitation game must be played.

Then there is the matter of salary cuts. The new principal rejected the previous decision to cut salary by 30%. The new salary cut plan is to cut salary by 10%. If the project team where it is located still fails to achieve self-profit after three months, it will be changed to a 30% cut.

When Shiler heard this, he knew that the new principal intended to let the professors feed themselves. However, it was also very normal. The new campus had moved, and there were brand-new laboratories around waiting to cooperate with the high-precision talents of Cat Getan University. If you don't hurry up to find a way to earn funds at this time, when will you wait?

Due to the special nature of literature and social science disciplines, the new principal stipulated that the personal income of professors and students in such project teams is also counted in the scope of profit. For example, publishing articles, novels, and even psychological counseling are all counted as profit.

Once these regulations were issued, most professors breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, the school moved here because many professors had signed contracts with the laboratories here and were continuously producing, so they moved closer. It was completely no problem to have profits within three months, and finally, they didn't have to be cut in salary.

It can be seen that this new principal's management level is not bad. He knows that the most important work at this stage is to appease the faculty and staff. Otherwise, everyone will use their minds outside the school to make up for the deducted salary, and the teaching level will only drop again and again. By then, it will be a complete vicious cycle.

Out of curiosity, Shiler intended to meet this new principal. As a result, before he could call, the new principal came to find him first.

After knocking on the door, the one who pushed open the office door was a tall and thin bald man in a suit, with a somewhat pale complexion, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses, which was the image of a common management talent.

He walked up and shook hands with Shiler enthusiastically and said, "Thaddeus Sivana, Ph. D. in Economics and Business Management, Finance, and Statistics. I studied for a master's degree at Columbia University and can be considered an alumnus of yours."

Shiler paused, shook hands with him, and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Principal Sivana. Please sit down." ===== CHAPTER 2527 =====

But it was a pity that Zatanna was a normal person. She was full of anxiety, feeling that things definitely couldn't go on like this. There were fewer and fewer customers in the bookstore, and everyone was reading e-books on their phones. Sooner or later, the bookstore wouldn't be able to sell a single book, so she had to prepare early.

Zatanna also had her own share of troubles. Her family used to be a family of magic; not only did they have no worries about food and drink, but they also held a noble status. As the most capable heir of this family, if it weren't for her father's disappearance, her mission would have been to lead the family to create new brilliance.

But unfortunately, during the previous wave of vampire incidents, the magical world was exhausted, and she was betrayed by her family, nearly dying in that event. Since then, she had no family left.

However, fortunately, she had been traveling around the world for many years looking for her father and had also done quite a few odd jobs; she was not the kind of young lady who couldn't endure hardship.

After confirming the basic plan, the few of them each performed their own duties. Schiller took the rental contract and company agreement left behind by Killer Croc to find Harvey, asking him to help review the contracts. Killer Croc took Raven to look at cars, while Zatanna took Constantine to decorate the storefront of the newly opened company.

Schiller asked for a morning off. Fortunately, he only had one class that morning, so he didn't fall behind much in progress.

After finishing the general matters, the various parties signed the contracts and had a meal in the new storefront. By the time Schiller rushed to the school in the afternoon, he heard that the new principal had already arrived and was currently holding a meeting.

It was definitely too late to attend the meeting now. Schiller could only wait for the results in his office. Not long after, the new management trend for the school came out, mainly covering the following points.

It was necessary to ensure the virtuous cycle of the sports department, which meant training to win invitational tournaments to earn ticket revenue. No matter how much money was spent on invitations, the invitational tournaments had to be played.

Next was the matter of salary cuts. The new principal rejected the previous decision to cut salaries by 30%. The newly proposed salary cut plan was a 10% reduction. If the project team they belonged to still failed to achieve self-sufficiency in three months, it would then be changed to a 30% reduction.

When Schiller heard this, he knew that the new principal intended to let each professor fend for themselves. However, it was also normal. The new campus had moved, and the surroundings were full of major factories and industrial bases. Various brand-new laboratories were just waiting to cooperate with the high-end talent of Cat Getan University. If they didn't hurry to find ways to earn funding now, when would they wait for?

Due to the special nature of literature and social science disciplines, the new principal stipulated that the personal income of professors and students in such project teams would also count toward the profit range. For example, publishing articles, novels, and even psychological counseling all counted as profit.

Once these regulations came out, most professors breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, in order to make up for the deducted salaries, everyone would put their minds into things outside the school, and the teaching level would only drop lower and lower. By then, it would be a complete vicious cycle.

Out of curiosity, Schiller intended to go see this new principal. As it turned out, before he could even make a call, the new principal came to find him first.

After a knock on the door, the person who pushed open the office door was a tall, thin, bald man in a suit. His skin was somewhat pale, and he wore round-framed gold-rimmed glasses. It was the very common image of a management talent.

He stepped forward and shook hands with Schiller enthusiastically, saying: "Thaddeus Sivana, Ph. D. in Economics and Business Management, Finance, and Statistics. I studied for my master's degree at Columbia University, so we can be considered alumni."

Schiller paused for a moment, shook his hand, and said: "It is an honor to meet you, Principal Sivana. Please, have a seat."
