The home appliance store building in Kuller rises from the ground and stands out in the urban area.

For general home appliance stores, it takes at least half a year to apply for approval, more than 100 stamps, and the upfront capital should be at least 5 million. However, thanks to the support of the reservoir city government and some bank loans, the pressure on Huaxing has been relatively reduced.

Due to the establishment of the Tarim oil field, it attracted the flow of people from nearby surrounding cities. The population of Kuller has surged in a short period of time.

After the home appliance store was built, Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong discussed the operation strategy of the store together.

"Dongzi, how do you want to run this store?" Zhao Yuemin asked.

"It's very simple, one-stop service." Hu Dong naturally replied, "From importing electrical appliances from abroad, to logistics and transportation, all the way to shopping malls. ”

"Not only foreign electrical appliances, but also domestic electrical brands, but also included in our scope."

Zhao Yuemin looked at Hu Dong and said, "Dongzi, I think we still have to be cautious. At present, Huaxing Industry has diversified operations, which are too scattered, and funds are a little tight. At present, the price of home appliances in the retail industry has a downward trend, and the cost of raw materials is also rising, which also oppresses our profit margins. ”

"And what do you suggest?" Hu Dong asked.

"I suggest that we are mainly responsible for the retail of high-end imported home appliances. As for the other locations in the store, they are directly leased to various brand manufacturers and let them manage them themselves. On the one hand, this can increase the choice of customers, and there will be many brands to settle in. On the other hand, the operating pressure of our company is also much less. The shop of each home appliance brand is sure to make a profit, so there is no inventory pressure. ”

"That's a new idea, Yuemin, how did you come up with it?" Hu Dong exclaimed.

"Pressure breeds motivation." Zhao Yuemin responded, "Dongzi, Huaxing Industry has been gradually growing, but we should also avoid taking too fast steps, which makes the company fall into the risk of blind expansion." ”

According to Zhao Yuemin's suggestion, Hu Dong began to introduce electrical manufacturers across the country.

After the brand owners of the home appliance store settled in, Zhao Yuemin began to recruit salespeople in the store again.

Xiao Dekai asked to be in charge of the work.

The girls in Western Xinjiang are all big-eyed and high-nosed, tall and handsome, and Xiao Dekai's files are all gone.

"How old are you?"

“21。”

"Is there a target?"

"No ......"

"Good. You've passed, congratulations on becoming a home appliance store waiter. In the recruitment conference room, Xiao Dekai waved his pen.

Zhao Yuemin watched Xiao Dekai recruit like this, angry and funny.

"Dekai, wouldn't it be nice if I introduced one to you directly? Don't spoil our store. ”

"No, Yuemin, man, you have to understand that feeling...... Xiao Dekai said excitedly, "I haven't experienced office romance yet." That ambiguous, if you are about to leave, Yuemin, you say yes? ”

"You're a big-headed ......"

Zhao Yuemin didn't have the energy to take care of the business of the home appliance store, so he formulated the main operation strategy and handed it over to Hu Dong.

At present, the Tarim oilfield project of the Western Exploration Company is the focus of his work.

At the same time, the Tarim 3 well was officially drilled. Then the drilling department came with good news, saying that it was good news from Well 3 in Tazhong, and that 8 meters of oil-bearing core was taken out at a depth of 3,000 meters, and a major discovery was made.

The entire command was in a state of great excitement. Another large oil field has been discovered. The oil and gas bearing area of Well Ta 3 will be 40 square meters, and the reservoir is high-quality Donghe sandstone, and more than 120 meters of oil-rich core has been extracted. Based on such a thickness of the oil layer, the petroleum geological reserves of Well 3 in Tazhong should be 300 million ~ 500 million tons.

The Tarim base immediately reported the good news to Beijing.

The discovery of a large oil field is exciting news.

However, in the past few days, Zhao Yuemin has seen that Wu Xinliang has been frowning sadly for the past few days.

In the arid Tarim Basin, it rarely rains continuously, making the oasis lake near the base sparkling.

Wu Xinliang sat in the office with a solemn face.

"Secretary Wu, looking for me?" Zhao Yuemin poked his head out of the door.

"Yuemin, you sit."

"Secretary Wu, a big oil field was found in the tower, why are you still sad?" Zhao Yuemin asked, "Yesterday, I heard that the leaders of the Central Committee were here?" ”

"I came, I came to guide the work, and I went to inspect the well area and the staff dormitory area. We also need to care about the lives of employees, so that it is not cold in winter and hot in summer, and we are well fed and warmly dressed. ”

"Did the chiefs ask about the discovery of the big oil fields?"

"Of course." Wu Xinliang said, "At that time, I also happily reported to the chiefs that this oil field has an annual output of 500 million tons. ”

Zhao Yuemin found that when Wu Xinliang said this, his face was sad. He was puzzled: "Secretary Wu, you have met with the head of the Central Committee and reported the good news, isn't this something that you should be happy about?" ”

"Hey......" Wu Xinliang let out a long sigh, stood up, looked out the window and didn't speak.

"Secretary Wu, you're going to kill me in a hurry." Zhao Yuemin asked.

"Yuemin...... Herein lies the problem. As soon as I finished reporting to the chiefs, the geologists came to me and said that they had carried out core observation and fluorescence irradiation experiments block by block, and found that the cores in the middle and lower sections had different degrees of water seepage and dripping. Then, I analyzed the pressure profile and found a significant change in the fluid pressure gradient. Then, the geologists came to the conclusion that most of the oil layer, which was 130 meters thick, was actually a water layer. Only 21 meters are oil layers. ”

"That is to say, the actual production is only one-tenth of the original?" Zhao Yuemin was shocked.

"Yes, I also patted my chest with the head of the central government and assured that it is definitely a large oil field with an annual output value of 500 million tons." Wu Xinliang's eyes were gloomy and he said, "Isn't this a false report of political achievements?" This is not the time to ******......"

"Secretary Wu, you can't be blamed for this." Zhao Yuemin comforted, "There is always uncertainty in technical exploration. Let's go to the grassroots level to verify. ”

Zhao Yuemin followed Wu Xinliang to the drilling site and repeatedly checked whether the data was read incorrectly. However, to everyone's disappointment, the resistivity of conventional logging is indeed a water layer.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Geology tested the five sections of the underground mine, and all of them produced large water.

The water gushed out of the tubing, Wu Xinliang and Zhao Yuemin stretched out their tongues and tasted it, the water was particularly salty, astringent, and cold to the heart.

All the members of the geological department were puzzled, when the core was taken out, it was oil that could be seen with the naked eye, why was it all water all of a sudden?

There was silence.

A few days later, Zhao Yuemin got the bad news - Wu Xinliang fell ill......
