Chapter 568 554. Encountering a Genius (55)

Under the guidance of Anderson, Wang Bo drove to the PAK'n-SAVE supermarket, which is Xiaohuang supermarket.

There is only one PAK’n-SAVE in Aocheng. Wang Bo once patronized it. It was here that he and Eva had their first intimate contact. Eva bought a lot of daily necessities with her.

He walked into the supermarket, told Anderson about the experience, and said with a smile: "Time flies, man, I just came to 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 subconsciously said: "I have to renovate the house, that is, to paint the exterior wall of the house, so I need some paint and related tools."

"Okay, then follow me, the groceries are here." The young man in overalls said politely.

Wang Bo followed and walked forward, turning around by chance, he saw Anderson looking at him strangely.

"What's wrong?"

Anderson whispered: "It's the first time I know that PAK'n-SAVE also provides shopping guide services."

Indeed, this supermarket does not have a shopping guide service. Its corporate culture is "to enable New Zealanders to save more money". In order to reduce costs, the supermarket saves money from various 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 inside, and there are no supermarket employees to serve customers at all.

The staff member heard what he said, turned back and smiled and said: "I'm not a shopping guide, I'm the duty manager here, I think I should help Mr. Wang find the goods he needs faster, because he always buys a lot of things, this He is our honored guest."

Anderson understood, and exclaimed, "God, how much did you buy in this supermarket last time?"

Wang Bo did not expect that this person still remembered that he had bought a lot of daily necessities in the supermarket, and he thought it was normal for someone to guide the shopping.

So he joked, "Then you miscalculated this time, buddy. I just came to buy a bucket of exterior wall paint, and I didn't intend to buy a lot of things."

"I've been to Sunset Town, it's a beautiful place," the manager on duty said with a smile, "You have built the town very successfully, I can see how busy you are, if it was just a bucket of paint, then you wouldn't come to us in person supermarket."

Wang Bo found it interesting. No wonder this young man became the duty manager of this supermarket at such a young age. His mind is very flexible.

Anderson poached the wall directly: "Hey, buddy, do you want to change the environment? We also have a good mall, and I think you can take on an important position."

The duty manager shrugged: "If this is not working time, I would be happy to discuss such a topic. But not now, sorry two, I am still at work and can't do things other than work."

As he spoke, he tapped the employee card on his chest, which stated his working hours and his name, which was Angie Robinson.

Wang Bo winked at Anderson, and then said: "Okay, let's continue the topic just now. I admit that I lied. I need not only a bucket of exterior wall paint, but a lot."

"How many? I'll arrange for employees to help you move out."

Wang Bo spread his hands and said, "This is hard for you, I forgot to calculate, anyway, there are about 160 houses, more than 100 are two-story buildings, and more than 40 are three-story buildings .”

The town has been building houses, but not all of them are his investment. The building block houses he invested in account for most of them. These houses have to be painted. He doesn't know how many, but it must be more than 150.

The duty manager said: "If this is the case, then you need to make an estimate of the area of ​​​​the outer wall of your house. It is very simple sir, multiply the length by the height to get the square meter, and then multiply by 120% on this basis... ..."

"Why 20% more?"

"Because you're not sure about the exact square footage right now, it's best to leave an extra 20 per cent, which is the best advice statistics can give for fuzzy numbers."

The duty manager's answer was very professional, and Anderson was quite surprised, and said: "I didn't expect Xiaohuang Supermarket to have a talent like you."

"Thank you for the compliment." The manager on duty bowed slightly, "One liter of water-soluble exterior wall paint can cover an area of ​​14-15 square meters according to the standard construction method, while corners, window frames, door frames and places closer to the ground need to be painted 10% more- 20% paint, that also counts into the surplus figure, so that's the way to go."

In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome. Wang Bo called Elizabeth and asked her to contact the building block house company to inquire about the area of ​​the outer walls of houses of different specifications, and then let her do the statistics.

This is not a very complicated matter, and soon the data came out, a total of 165 houses, including 101 two-story buildings and 65 three-story buildings, all together have an area of ​​50,000 square meters.

The manager on duty smiled and said after getting the number: "Look, what did I say? It's a big deal! You go to buy exterior wall paint applicators first, I'm going to the warehouse to check the inventory of the two kinds of paint you need. Enough."

The tools are also provided by Wang Bo. Each worker needs a set of tools, including a tray for holding paint, two paint rollers, one large and one small, and two to three brushes of different sizes—for external walls and edges The brushes used for corners, door frames and window frames are different.

In addition, he has to buy tape, which is used to stick some sensitive items that cannot touch the exterior wall paint, and a scraper, which has to be scraped off when some paint is stained with dust but not peeled off.

Anderson was looking for gloves and protective glasses. Fortunately, with the development of modern technology, the damage of exterior wall paint is not so great, so there is no need for protective clothing, otherwise it will cost a lot of money.

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, and this is organic solvent-based exterior wall paint. Different brands have different prices. You can see Look."

Wang Bo pointed to something marked as a primer and asked, "This, what do you mean?"

The manager on duty smiled and said: "You must need it. This is the primer, which is really used to protect the sailboards. The exterior wall paint is responsible for the appearance. Some sailboards have been damaged by the wind or birds. At this time, you A primer is needed to protect it."

Wang Bo looked at the price, and the manager on duty prepared a total of 100 liters for him, worth 4,500 yuan.

Anderson also leaned over to take a look, and then he whispered, "Boss, it's true, this thing is useful, and one hundred liters is a very reasonable amount."

Wang Bo looked at the smiling manager on duty, and when he left, he gritted his teeth and said to Anderson: "Listen, buddy, dig him under our hands, dig him to be your assistant!"

"Is he really a man?"

"No, the expression on this guy's face makes me feel uncomfortable, so I can teach him a lesson by digging him out!"
