Under Anderson's guidance, Wang Bo drove to the supermarket, which was Xiaohuang Supermarket.
There is only one restaurant in Aocheng, and Wang Bo once visited it. It was here that he and Eva had their first close contact. Eva accompanied her and bought a lot of daily necessities.
He walked into the supermarket and told Anderson about that experience, smiling and saying: "Time flies, man, I had just arrived in the South Island at that time."
Anderson was about to answer when someone came up and asked, "Mr. Wang, what do you need?"
Wang Bo said subconsciously: "I have to decorate the house, which means applying exterior paint to the house, so I need some paint and related tools."
"Okay, then you come with me. The groceries are here." The young man in work clothes said politely.
Wang Bo followed and walked forward. When he accidentally turned around, he saw Anderson looking at him with a strange expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Anderson whispered: "This is the first time I know that they also provide shopping guide services."
Indeed, this supermarket does not have shopping guide services. Its corporate culture is to "allow New Zealanders to save more money." In order to reduce costs, the supermarket saves money in all aspects.
For example, the decoration style of this supermarket is very simple and even a bit crude. There are only cold giant shelves and concrete floors, and there are no supermarket employees to serve customers at all.
The staff member heard what he said and turned around with a smile: "I'm not a shopping guide. I'm the manager on duty here. I think I should help Mr. Wang find the products he needs faster, because he always buys a lot of things. This He is our distinguished guest.”
Anderson understood and exclaimed: "God, how many things did you buy last time you came to this supermarket?"
Wang Bo didn't expect that this person would still remember that he had bought a lot of daily necessities in the supermarket. He thought it was normal to have a shopping guide.
So he joked: "Then you miscalculated this time, man. I just came to buy a bucket of exterior paint. I didn't plan to buy many things."
"I've been to Sunset Town. It's a beautiful place," the duty manager smiled. "You have built the town very successfully. I can see how busy you are. If it was just a bucket of paint, you wouldn't come to us in person. supermarket."
Wang Bo found it interesting. No wonder this young man could become the duty manager of this supermarket at such a young age. His mind was very flexible.
Anderson directly poached: "Hey, man, do you want a change of environment? We also have a good shopping mall, and I think you can take up an important position."
The duty manager shrugged and said: "If this were not working hours, I would be happy to discuss such a topic. But not now. Sorry, I'm still at work and can't do anything other than work."
As he spoke, he tapped the employee badge on his chest, which had his working hours and his name written on it. His name was Angie Robinson.
Wang Bo winked at Anderson, and then said: "Okay, let's continue the topic. I admit that I lied. I need more than just a bucket of exterior paint, but a lot."
"How many? I'll arrange for staff to help you move out."
Wang Bo spread his hands and said: "This is difficult for me. I forgot to calculate. Anyway, there are about 160 houses. More than 100 are two-story houses and more than 40 are three-story houses. .”
The town has been under construction of houses, but not all of them are his investment. Most of the block houses he invested in have to be painted. He did not count the exact number of houses, but they must be more than 150.
The duty manager said: "If this is the case, then you need to make an estimate of the external wall area of your house. It's very simple, sir, multiply the length by the height to get the number of square meters, and then multiply this by 120%... "
"Why 20% more?"
“Because you’re not sure of the exact area now, it’s best to leave an extra 20 percent. That’s the best advice statistics can give you for fuzzy numbers.”
The duty manager's answer was very professional. Anderson was quite surprised and said, "I didn't expect that there are talents like you in Xiaohuang Supermarket."
"Thank you for the compliment." The manager on duty bowed slightly, "Each liter of water-soluble exterior wall paint can cover an area of square meters according to standard construction methods. However, around corners, window frames, door frames and places closer to the ground need to be coated with 10%-20% more. Paint, those can also be counted in the surplus number, so just do the math like that.”
In fact, there is no need to go to such trouble. Wang Bo called Elizabeth and asked her to contact the building block house company to inquire about the exterior wall area of houses of different specifications, and then let her calculate it.
This is not a very complicated matter. The data soon came out. There were 165 houses in total, including 101 two-story houses and 65 three-story houses. The total area was 50,000 square meters.
After getting this number, the manager on duty smiled and said: "Look, what did I say? A big deal! You go to buy the exterior wall paint application tools first. I will go to the warehouse to count the inventory of the two paints you need. It’s enough.”
Tools are also provided by Wang Bo. Each worker needs a set of tools, including a tray to hold paint, two paint rollers, one large and one small, and two to three brushes of different sizes - for painting the exterior walls and painting the corners. Different brushes are used for corners, door frames and window frames.
In addition, he had to buy tape, which is used to stick to sensitive items that cannot come into contact with exterior paint, and a scraper. Some paint had to be scraped off if it was stained with dust but did not fall off.
Anderson was picking out gloves and protective glasses. Fortunately, with the development of modern technology, exterior paint is no longer so harmful, so protective clothing is not needed, otherwise it would be a huge expense.
After they selected these tools and supplies, the young manager on duty came out and showed Wang Bo a list: "This is water-based exterior wall paint, this is organic solvent-based exterior wall paint, different brands have different prices, you can see Look."
Wang Bo pointed to something labeled as primer and asked, "What does this mean?"
The manager on duty smiled and said: "You must need it. This is primer, which is really used to protect the sailboards. The exterior paint is responsible for the appearance. Some sailboards have been damaged by wind or bird pecks. At this time, you A primer is needed to protect it.”
Wang Bo looked at the price. The manager on duty prepared a total of 100 liters for him, worth 4,500 yuan.
Anderson also came up to take a look, and then he whispered: "Boss, it's true. This thing is useful. One hundred liters is a very reasonable amount."
Wang Bo looked at the smiling duty manager. When he left, he gritted his teeth and said to Anderson: "Listen, man, dig him under our hands and dig him out to be your assistant!"
"He is indeed a talent, right?"
"No, the expression on this guy's face makes me unhappy, so I can dig him out so I can teach him a lesson!" ()). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Please come. )
