A project bid, and the share that went to others
He asked if he would win a project bid. I said yes, but a large share of the fee would go to others. He came back with the result.

Got it. I'll keep what you said in mind, Zongyuan.
好的，谨记道长叮嘱。

About the mortgage loan we talked about last time — it got stuck because of my credit record. The bank said my wife could take over as the actual controller of the company, and we could apply for the loan under the company name. But my wife is worried about the risk and doesn't want to go along with it. I want to ask: can this matter be resolved in the end? And how? Also, there's a project in the pitch stage right now. It's going fairly smoothly so far, and the decision will be made around the end of the month. Will I be able to win this project? If I get it, the loan won't be so urgent.
上次说做抵押贷款的事，因为我的征信有问题，卡住了，银行说可以让我老婆转做公司实控人，以公司为贷款主题，但是老婆担心她风险太大，并不愿意配合，想问一下，这个事最终能不能解决？要如何才能解决？另外，有个项目目前在比稿阶段，目前为止进展还算顺利，这事在月底前后要定标的，是否能顺利拿下这个项目？这个项目能拿下的话，贷款我可能就没那么急了。

Let's talk about the second one first. The pitch — it looks like you will get money from it. But the process won't be the smoothest. I see a lot of things where you'll need to compromise. Or the profit margin will be squeezed.
先讲第二个啊，这个比稿的这个事情就看着也能拿到钱。但是呢，这个拿到钱的这个过程它不是最顺利。看见你有很多事，嗯，需要妥协的地方。或者说压缩的这个利润空间。
This [redacted] metal is being drained. [redacted] — on one hand it represents skill, on the other hand it represents your wealth. When wealth is drained, it means you give up a portion of the benefit. Or you ask for less.
这个[redacted]节金被泄了，嗯，[redacted]，它一方面主技能嘛，二二方面他也主你的财，这个财被卸了，就是你割让了一部分这个利益出去。或者说你要求的少了。
Why do I say there will be twists and turns? Because the mutual hexagram is [redacted]. What does [redacted] mean? It means 'stopping movement' — staying still. There will be a phase like that. It will be hard to push things forward, or both sides might be stuck. But in the end, you still get it. Let me check the amount.
那为啥说它当中曲折呢？就是这个互卦，它是一个[redacted][redacted]是啥意思？叫止动，就是呆着不动了，那当时会有这么一个阶段。你相当于不太好推进，也有可能两面僵持，但是呢，最后还是能拿到。我看一下这个金额是多少。

Second, the meaning of [redacted] — since you [redacted] is full possession. [redacted] also means subcontracting. Most of the money earned has to be split with outsiders — either agency fees, or kickbacks, or hiring other people to do the work. But you can still make money. The numbers are 2 and 5, with 5 as the main [redacted].
第二个，这个[redacted]的意思，因为您
[redacted]是全部占有嘛。[redacted]还有这个
分包的意思啊，赚了大头的钱要给外
人往外分，要么是给中介费呀，要么
给好处费。或者是招个其他人在干这
个事儿都有可能，但是他是能挣到钱
的。他的这个数字，一个是2，一个是
5，5为主[redacted]。
For a small amount, it could be 50,000. But I don't think 50,000 is worth doing for you, so take the larger number — around 500,000, 500,000 to 520,000. That's probably the limit. It's hard to get a higher number than that.
嗯，金额小的话啊，能是5万，但我觉
得这个5万你干他意义不大，你就往大
了取，50万左右，50万，52万左右，
估计也就只能。到这个程度了再数字
再大比较难实现。
I do the design for this project, but all the execution is outsourced. Outsourcing takes up half the cost.
这个项目我做的设计，但是执行是全
部外包，外包占一半的成本
Zongyuan, I'm here with feedback. Last time you said I would get a project, but half of it would be split away. Today the client told me that out of the 1.6 million project, 1 million is going to a foreign artist team. It's a team of 4 artists, and I'm on my own. Three of them are flying in from abroad to work on it — that matches what you said about the sign of traveling far. It's not me traveling far, it's them. You were so accurate! 🌹🌹🌹
道长，我来反馈了。上次你说我有个
项目能接下来，但是要分走一半。今
天客户通知我那个160万的项目有
100万分给一个外籍艺术家团队了。
他们是4个艺术家组建的一个团队，
我这边是一个人。其中有三个人是从
境外飞过来创作，也应了你说要出远
门的象。不是我出远门，是他们出远
门。道长神准！🌹🌹🌹
Zongyuan
Mm-hmm. What's the final amount that stays with you?
嗯呢，最后留在你手里的金额有多少？
Client
The quoted price including tax is 640,000, and costs can be controlled at around 140,000.
报价含税64万，成本可以控制在14
万左右

Zongyuan
That's about right.
那差不离
Around 400,000 to 500,000.
四五十万上下
Client
You said there was a number 5 😀
你说有5之数😀
Zongyuan
Mm-hmm.
嗯呐
After netting it out, it's around 50 😀
轧差下来是50上下😀
Client
I'm very satisfied with a 500,000 profit. At least it will ease things for the first half of the year.
利润有50万我就很满足了，至少上半
年的缓一下了
