Online Class Notes (Tibo)

These days so many things have been happening.

In September I got a new job and it was so busy and in October I changed to another job. I was just in charge of one project.
and when this project ended I got some rest days  -> it was a project based contract and the project ended so I got a rest for some time.

and this month I tried to get some orders by myself and tried to get some projects to do by myself  / this month I tried to get some project and deals on my own.

He promised the deal and asked me to prepare , they needed some workers to decorate the kitchen.

They build the biggest ships for trip -> they build cruise ship, it is almost finished but there are some details to add  / there is just some decoration work to complete.

So this work place is the kitchen in the cruise ship. / we were supposed to decorate the kitchen of the cruise ship.

I prepared all the things/equipments and I found 4 workers for this project and bought so many clothes and all the things on 12/12 on Taobao. / bought all the required equipments on 12/12 on taobao.

This manager asked us begin work tomorrow but until now this company hasn’t sent any order to me. . he originally asked us to start working tomorrow but nothing has been confirmed yet.

I book the hotels for the workers and bought everything but this afternoon this manager told me his company want to re-inquire  so I may have to wait for a long time.
I think I can’t pay for the hotels for 1 or 2 months. / I don’t want to pay for hotel rooms when nothing is confirmed.

I am trying to call the hotel to cancel my order for tomorrow.

I hope I turn return some of the things that don’t have the logo. / I hope I can return the standard equipment which wasn’t customized

They are an Italian company so I don’t know if it is how Italians do business but the manager is Chinese.
All the things he proposed are not happening. -> None of the things he mentioned are happening
I wrote an email to his boss and they say they know, but the point is the company has many bosses who need to agree. -> I wrote to his boss and he said he was aware of the issue.
I can understand if they need time but his boss asked me if I could start without any promise. / the boss wanted me to start the work without having any contract.

In this cruise ship I know the other companies did the same thing in November and some have already finished but they haven’t got paid yet.

I told them maybe you can go back to your hometown until CNY.

It took 3 years to build the ship and the company got paid but the company hasn’t paid their contractors
The company didn’t bring any worker they employ some Chinese workers or companies to finish the project.
They always want to reduce the price. / they always try to find reasons to complain and move the price down.

These days I try to do some things by myself without a company / I try to develop my own business.
I find it is difficult because you have to prepare many things. The risk is a big problem.

These 2 months I felt so busy for so many things. Some people got my number and called me and said they needed some goods and asked for a quotation.
I sent the quotation then no one came back to me.
The good thing is I can have more rest.
I think if I have more time I can watch more videos on how to take photos.

I got this camera for more than 1 month and only used it in auto mode.
