I Found A Planet Chapter 44

Chen Jin explained the situation . “It's like this . I've started a jewelry shop, and it's currently undergoing renovation . It isn't too far from here, just on Jin Ling West Road . I need to recruit quite a few people for the opening, which is predicted to happen next month . ”

Besides the discussions on the purchase channels, Chiu Wan-Tin was also recruiting staff . After all, it was a large-scale shop measuring 300 square meters . She needed to recruit more than 10 staff and around another two more as security guards . If business increased dramatically during peak season and the staff needed to work two shifts, he would also recruit more staff at that time .

To date, Chiu Wan-Ting had hired two staff as her personal assistants . They were also part of the staff at the previous shop where she worked as a store manager . Hearing what had happened to her recently, they clamored to join her in this new store . These old veteran buddies would continue to work hard together . Chiu Wan-Ting did not dare to take matters into her own hands and had called Chen Jin to ask about it . He said ok; employees who were older and more experienced were an asset too . They could even bring over their old clients, which would help the jewelry store on its path to success .

“A jewelry shop?” Guo Yan was not the only one who was shocked . The flatmates in the other rooms, Liu Xiao Xia, Xu Jiao Jiao, and Zhao Ya Jing were extremely shocked too .

Song Xue Jia, who was standing near the doorway, perked her ears up and muttered, “The landlord is so rich that he can open a jewelry shop?”

Guo Yan asked with a tiny voice, “Then… What's the amount of my salary if I work in your shop?” She was very grateful for the landlord's concern, but some practical questions still had to be asked . After all, she shouldered a heavy burden .

“Um…” Chen Jin considered it for a moment, then said, “$5,000 during the trial period . It will be a six-day work week with one day off . If your performance is good, you can become an official staff sooner . Your salary will be increased too . ”

“$5,000… . ” Guo Yan silently weighed this offer . Frankly speaking, a starting salary of this amount was not low . It was at least a level higher than those fresh graduates working their first job . Most of them only had a starting salary of $3,500 (of course, the statistics from the news showed an average starting salary as high as $5,380) . In addition, she had a rather inferior educational history . $5,000 was really very good!

But in this expensive city of Shang Hai, rent would cost $1,000 and meals $1,500 . Transport, mobile, clothing and other miscellaneous costs would bring the expenses up to $3,000! From a salary of $5,000, she could save at most $2,000 . This little bit of income was far from sufficient for Guo Yan . She could find a position doing sales and easily earn $6,000 to $7,000 a month with her diligence . However, that was extremely tiring! So…

Seeing her hesitation, Chen Jin added, “Lunch will be provided at work . I'll also give $100 for transportation expenses and $300 as a rental subsidy, which will be subtracted from your rent . ”

At this point, all her roommates began to persuade her . “Guo Yan, this salary is really good . Quickly agree!”

Xu Jiao Jiao wanted to cry, “I work as an office clerk for $4,500 . Landlord, do you still need people at the jewelry shop? I want to go too . ” However, it was just empty words . Her job as a clerk was extremely easy .

Zhao Ya Jing gave her a detailed analysis . “Guo Yan, Jin Ling West Road is not too far from here; it's only a distance of seven or eight kilometers . You can ride a shared bicycle to work, and you don't have to suffer the crowded train daily . With the added perks from the landlord, your total salary would be over $6,000 . Even I want to work there!”

Finally, Guo Yan was moved . She nodded her head . “Ok! Brother Chen, I'll go to work at your shop . I used to do sales in a jewelry shop so I have some definite experience, and I'll learn very quickly!” Brother Chen already took such great care of her, if she still did not agree, she would be very ungrateful . The salary was good too . If she lived frugally, she should be able to save $4,000 next month . It would be enough to pay off her credit card debt and provide an allowance for her younger brother . “Brother Chen, thank you so much for helping me!” She gave a deep bow to Chen Jin with an extremely thankful expression .

“It's ok, everyone has bad times . ” Chen Jin picked up his phone and called Chiu Wan-Ting . She agreed and would proceed with the arrangement .

Guo Yan asked for the jewelry store's address, saying that she wanted to officially start work tomorrow .

As he was about to leave, Song Xue Jia pulled him aside . Batting her lashes, she said in a very pitiful manner, “Brother Landlord, I've used my salary to pay off my credit card this month, and I have no money for rent . Can I pay the rent for the past two months, as well as this month, all together in the next month? I beg you, please be understanding!” Song Xue Jia had not paid rent for the past two months and planned to drag it until the next month before paying it all .

Chen Jin had no more words for this woman . “All right, next month . ”

“Thank you, Brother Landlord!”Song Xue Jia abruptly hugged his neck . Leaning pink tender lips over, she almost kissed him on his face . With a full smile, she said, “Brother Landlord, can I work at your jewelry store? If it's okay, how about I go to work at your shop?”

Chen Jin struggled to free himself from her clinging arms . “No need, thanks for your good intentions . I've something I need to take care of; I need to leave . ” He quickly left Room 902 with Song Xue Jia's laughter trailing behind him .

Song Xue Jia was anticipating the silent criticisms from others, “You're a fake whore! How shameless!”

At night, in the camping ground in the huge crater, the AI named Alice reported good news . “Master, I've completed the simulation for the industrial manufacturing process of the wind turbine that you've tasked me with . ”

“You did a good job, Alice . ”

She showed a sweet smile . “Thank you, Master, for your praise . ”

Chen Jin let her open a design blueprint of a particular industrial manufacturing process . It played a video as it made an introductory explanation for him .

“Master, according to your requirements, the power output of the wind turbine should be around 30 kilowatts . So, the length of the blades should be roughly 12 meters, and each turbine should be installed with three blades . Strong plastic material can be used to make the blade . It can be printed in the capsule factory, and the modules can be assembled together . The shell of the main body, axel bearings, and the parts of the support body can also be printed in the capsule factory . As for the induction coils in the generator unit, there are ready-made nanocrystalline copper wires that we can use . However, due to the destructive war on this world, the magnetic property of most magnets are either greatly weakened or damaged . We need to use a permanent magnet in order to make a wind turbine that can generate a high amount of power . The permanent magnet's use is in energy conversion . Currently, we lack this type of magnet . ”

The highly powerful magnetic field created at the moment a nuclear bomb exploded was very destructive to magnets . It directly damaged the magnetic performance of the magnets . Haierfa was just a wasteland . Undoubtedly, it was extremely difficult to find a permanent magnet in good physical and functional condition . He could only import it from Earth .

Chen Jin did some research on the internet . He found that the high-performance neodymium magnet, with its tetragonal cell structure, had strong magnetism and a special advantage of high heat resistance . One set of such magnets was made up of 16 individual pieces and each wind turbine required about 10 sets inside its body . As for the price, it was $25 per piece . The price of the magnets that he had to purchase for one wind turbine was around $4,000 .

Of course, this money was peanuts . By chance, there was a manufacturer in the city that produced neodymium for use in wind turbines . Chen Jin directly called the manufacturer and made an order for 100 sets of neodymium magnets . He spent a total of $40,000 . The manufacturer even offered free shipping to his doorstep .

“A complete ready-made 30 kilowatts wind turbine plus its purchase fee, shipping fee, and installation fee… The whole thing would cost me at least $200,000 . And 10 sets would equate to $2,000,000! I've only spent $40,000 . I just need to some buy engine oil, lubricant, and what not… The total expenses would at most be $100,000! It's really true that's it better to make one than to buy one . ”

Chen Jin sighed with feeling . It was two days ago that hundreds of robots transported a general production capsule factory back to the campground . With Rover No . 1 pulling at the front, and the robots collective efforts, they managed to transport the factory . And after a round of cleaning and servicing, it could be used normally . A big batch of various raw materials to be printed was brought back as well . When the neodymium magnets arrived tomorrow, he could begin the production of the wind turbines!
