"Is it complicated to install and debug the system?" Chen Zhao asked.
"The company is responsible for installing the system, but the customer has to find someone from another company for debugging and inspection."
"Why? That's too inconsiderate. That company installed and debugged the system last time. "
"This company wants to ensure that their engineers don't install backdoors, and also to ensure the privacy of their customers. That's why they completely exclude themselves when it comes to debugging," Andrews said.
"Chen Zhao, if you need it," Li Qiong said. "I can take this job."
"How much do you charge?" Chen Zhao asked.
Li Qiong was about to say no, but Andrews said, "Usually, the debugging fee is around 5% of the system's value."
"Sure." Chen Zhao and Li Qiong weren't familiar with each other. If Li Qiong wanted to debug for him for free, he would feel awkward. But if she had to pay, he would feel better. "Andrews, reserve a system for me. You can help me negotiate the price."
After hearing that the trial fee was so high, it was difficult for Li Qiong to say no to the reward.
According to Andrews, the system was worth ten million dollars. Even if the final price was one or two million less, it would still be a few hundred thousand dollars.
To Li Qiong, a few hundred thousand dollars was an astronomical figure.
It was almost impossible for her to find a job with an annual salary of a hundred thousand dollars.
But if she could complete the debugging, she could earn a few hundred thousand dollars.
How many hundred thousand dollars could a person earn in their lifetime?
"But the construction of the house has just started. It'll be at least a few months later. I'll contact you after it's done."
"Okay." Li Qiong nodded.
To be honest, it was an eye-opener for her today.
In the past, she'd only seen multimillion-dollar deals in movies and TV shows.
But in reality, Chen Zhao only needed to think about it for a while before deciding to buy it.
"Chen, I feel like I'm the one who gave you this butler system," Eveleigh said teasingly. "I only paid you ten million."
"That doesn't count. I took ten days. Plus, I think you'll earn more."
Li Qiong already had a certain understanding of Chen Zhao's wealth.
But when she heard that Chen Zhao had earned ten million in ten days, she still found it unbelievable.
He probably wouldn't be able to earn that much money in his entire life, but Chen Zhao seemed to be able to earn it easily.
It was truly infuriating to compare oneself to others.
Andrews had the same idea.
He had worked so hard to negotiate and help Chen Zhao lower the price. Then, he would take a cut, but it wasn't even ten days of Chen Zhao's income.
"Mr. Chen, are you interested in buying an island now?" Amira asked.
"I don't even have 20 million USD in my bank account. I can't afford it."
"If you want, I can transfer a loan under one billion USD to your account as long as you say it."
"One billion dollars? I'd be crazy to buy it. "Chen Zhao rolled his eyes.
"Actually, you can choose from cheap islands that only cost a few million USD or even a few hundred thousand USD. Of course, there are also expensive ones that cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions of USD."
"If I want to buy, I will buy the best. When I have a few hundred million USD, I will buy an island. An island that is worth a few million USD is not even two square kilometers. If I build a house on such an island, I will occupy the entire land."
"Oh, Mr. Chen," Amira said. "I have a business that I need your help with. Are you interested?"
"What's it about?" Chen Zhao could hear that Amira's tone was a bit repressed. He couldn't help but look up at her.
"Guys, can you give Mr. Chen and me some private space?"
The people around her left tactfully. Li Qiong glanced at them a few more times.
She was curious about what business Amira wanted to discuss with Chen Zhao.
To her, it was most likely a huge deal.
There was no one else around, but Amira still lowered his voice and said, "My father bought a piece of land in Abilene, Kansas. It's going to be used to build a factory, but the construction stopped because of an accident."
"What accident?"
"A hole was dug in the construction site, and on the first night, four workers mysteriously disappeared. Other workers said that a monster came out of the hole and dragged the workers into the hole. Then, two similar incidents happened."
"What kind of monster? Are there any pictures? "
"No, but according to the two workers, the monster looked like a dog, but it was really big. It was six to seven meters long," Amira said seriously. Amira said solemnly, "So far, six workers have gone missing, and my father has paid at least twenty million USD as compensation."
"Then there must be a local search team, right? Didn't they enter the hole to search? "
"A search and rescue team of eight people went into the cave, but they never came out."
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes. "So you want me to help you solve this problem?"
"Not me," Amira said. "It's my father."
"What about the payment?"
"I can pay you ten million in advance. If you can solve the problem, I'll pay you another twenty million."
Chen Zhao had to admit that he was tempted.
Just as Chen Zhao was hesitating, Amira said, "It's after-tax income."
Amira thought that Chen Zhao was worried about taxes.
After all, such income had to be taxed at 45%.
Chen Zhao thought about it and nodded. "Is it urgent?"
"Currently, my father's land project has stopped. He loses millions of dollars every day. He's worried too."
"Okay, I accept," Chen Zhao said. "When do we leave?"
"It's best if we can leave in one or two days."
"Sure," Chen Zhao said. "I'll arrange it and leave the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, it's settled. Also, do you need me to prepare anything?"
"Don't let anyone else near the construction site. I don't like people disturbing me when I'm working."
"Of course, I'll tell my father."
This was actually Amira's personal decision. She felt that Chen Zhao was the person who could solve this problem.
She still needed to talk to her father.
"Oh, I'll go with you."
"If you want to go into the hole with me, then forget it. I don't want to protect you in an unknown situation."
