The pointer pointed to the Mysterious Heart. Wang Bo touched it, and then the words 'Box of Heart' appeared. The tray split, and a small light green box appeared.
This box is about ten centimeters long, ten centimeters wide, and five centimeters high. It is divided into ten grids. Each grid is the size of Lao Wang's fist, which can fit into a territorial heart.
Seeing this, Old Wang understood that this heart-containing box should be specially used to hold territorial hearts. Each grid can accommodate one heart. In this way, he does not have to use it on the spot when he draws a territorial heart in the future, but can store it.
In early April, as the autumn wind blew over New Zealand, as the maple leaves on the Southern Alps turned fiery red, and as the green trees and green grass began to turn yellow, Highway 8, which Lao Wang had been looking forward to for half a year, was finally opened to traffic.
The government is also very determined to build this highway. It has hired the best group in road and bridge engineering in Oceania, and the design is to start construction from the two end points at the same time to the middle, thus saving half of the man-hours.
Wang Bo thought that if such an important highway was opened to traffic, the government would have to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony no matter what.
As a result, there was nothing, and he was not even informed. However, there were many reports on the news. Several major media in New Zealand reported the news of the completion of Highway 8.
Although the highway has been completed, it has not been completed. It can only be said that it is now open to traffic. Many road sections still need to be improved later. Highway 8 will not be fully completed until the end of the year at the earliest.
But for Lao Wang, it is enough if it can be opened to traffic, because being open to traffic means the flow of people, and the popularity of the town will gradually accumulate.
The construction of the third-class highway is almost complete. This road is much simpler than Highway 8, but Porter's construction company is average and the construction time is longer.
In this way, the two roads are connected in a T shape, and there are two open spaces on both sides of the intersection. This is the prime location of the town in terms of business.
He has built two block houses in advance, one large and one small. The larger house covers an area of about 500 square meters, and the smaller one covers an area of about 400 square meters.
According to his plan, the big house will be used as a supermarket, and the small house will be used as a fast food restaurant. When the popularity of the town increases in the future, it will definitely make money.
Since no one came to invest, Lao Wang simply played by himself. Anyway, he still had money in hand, so it was no problem to open a supermarket and a fast food restaurant.
The money from selling "Psalm" was about 17 million needed to build a third-level highway and about 5 million needed to build a water and electricity system, which happened to be used up.
However, only 75% of the cost for road construction was paid, and the water and electricity system had just started construction and only a deposit of one million was paid. Wang Bo still had more than eight million in hand.
For the current number of residents and traffic volume in the town, opening a supermarket is not a good option. Wang Bo decided to open a convenience store and expand it in the future as the number of people increases.
Professional managers are needed in this area, and Barbara's husband, Anderson Cage, once worked as an executive at Carrefour in Auckland, and he can help.
Wang Bo happily hired Anderson. He gave him a weekly salary of 1,500 yuan and a year-end bonus based on sales. Anderson was very satisfied with the treatment and agreed to manage the convenience store.
This job is very important to Barbara's family. It is not easy to make a living by relying only on female painters. She is only a painter with an average reputation. Sometimes she cannot sell one or two paintings a month, and the family expenses are a bit embarrassing.
After taking over the job at the convenience store, Anderson set up a barbecue restaurant at home and invited Wang Bo and his group to have a drink and talk about work.
Anderson handed Lao Wang a bottle of beer and said: "Boss, if we just open a convenience store, then we don't need decoration. The decoration of the house itself is enough. But I think your purpose is to open a supermarket, right?" Then we’d better do the renovations first.”
Wang Bo took a sip of beer and said: "I'll leave this to you, man. Since I hired you, I obviously trust you, so you can come with confidence. If you need funds, just ask me for approval."
Anderson was very touched by this trust. Because he knew that Wang Bo knew about his past and his actions in the casino. If hiring him could be seen as giving timely help, then maintaining trust in him would be a sign of kindness.
In addition to decoration, the convenience store also needs two clerks, because this kind of store needs to be open 24 hours a day. New Zealand implements a 3-8 work system. Anderson can handle one shift, but two more shifts are needed.
Anderson didn't let him bother with this aspect. After all, he had been a Carrefour executive and had plenty of contacts in this area. He called and found two suitable resumes through the manager of Carrefour's human resources department. After negotiating the salary, he brought the candidates to the town.
Both applicants belong to the small town of Omarama. They are around 20 years old. They are young and energetic, can stay up late, and are very suitable for convenience store jobs.
In mid-April, after simple decoration, recruiting employees and delivering goods to the shelves, the convenience store was ready to open.
Anderson did have experience in supermarket management. Lao Wang originally thought there was no need to renovate, because in his memory, except for Xiaohuang Supermarket, which was all painted yellow, there was nothing else in other supermarkets, just an empty space with shelves and the like. That’s all.
But in Anderson's design, convenience stores are not that simple.
First, he divided the walls and set up small areas such as fruit and vegetable sales areas, dried fruit sales areas, gift sales areas, and snack sales areas based on the building's volume, proportion and facade scale.
Wang Bo was a little confused after walking around inside: "Snow, Anderson, why is your plan like a maze?"
Anderson smiled and said: "I did this on purpose, you know, boss, so that once people are in it, they will easily lose their way. At this time, they will easily forget how far they have walked in the mall, and what will happen to them?" How long have you been shopping?"
After a pause, he pointed to a few corners and said: "At that time, we will place some discounted items in these places. Even if customers don't need them, when they visit these places, they will buy them because of the mentality of taking advantage of them. .”
Wang Bo thought for a while and felt that what he said really made sense. He gave him a thumbs up and said: "Well done, man, you are an expert!"
Anderson smiled modestly and said: "Actually, this was not my idea. Carrefour has been doing this all the time. If you walk into Carrefour in Auckland, you will find that you can't find the exit except following the signs on the ground. In this way , you will be invisibly led by the merchants, and you will browse the entire supermarket and buy more things that were not originally planned.”
