554.Chance Encounter with a Genius (5/5)
Under Anderson's guidance, Wang Bo drove to Pak'n-Save Supermarket, also known as Little Yellow Supermarket. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There is only one pak'n-save in Aocheng, which Wang Bo once visited, and his first intimate contact with Eva was here, and Eva accompanied her to buy a lot of daily necessities.
He walked into the supermarket, told Anderson about the experience, and said with a smile, "Time flies, man, I was just in the South Island." β
Anderson was about to answer, when someone walked up and asked, "Mr. Wang, what do you need?" β
Wang Bo subconsciously said: "I have to decorate the house, that is, to paint the exterior wall of the house, so I need some paint and related tools." β
"Okay, then you come with me, the groceries are in this location." The young man in his work clothes said politely.
Wang Bo followed, and when he turned around, he saw Anderson looking at him with a strange face.
"What's wrong?"
Anderson whispered, "For the first time, I learned that Pak'n-Save also offers a shopping guide service. β
It's true that the supermarket doesn't have a shopping guide service, and its corporate culture is "so that New Zealanders can save more money", and in order to reduce costs, the supermarket saves money in various ways.
For example, the decoration style of this supermarket is very simple or even a little simple, with only cold giant shelves and concrete floors, and there are no supermarket employees to serve customers.
The staff member heard his words, turned around and smiled: "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 is our valued customer." β
Anderson understood and exclaimed, "God, how much did you buy last time you came to this supermarket?" β
Wang Bo didn't expect this person to remember that he used to buy a lot of daily necessities in the supermarket, and he thought it was normal for someone to guide shopping.
So he joked: "Then you miscalculated this time, man, I just came to buy a bucket of exterior paint, and I didn't plan to buy a lot of things." β
"I've been to Sunset Town, it's a beautiful place," smiled the manager on duty, "You've built the town successfully, I can see you're busy, if it's just a bucket of paint, you wouldn't be in our supermarket in person." β
Wang Bo thought it was interesting, no wonder this young man could become the duty manager of this supermarket at a young age, his brain was very flexible.
Anderson dug directly into the wall: "Hey, man, do you want to change the environment?" We also have a good mall, and I think you can go and take on an important position. β
The duty manager shrugged and said, "If it's not work time, I'd be happy to discuss such a topic." But not right now, sorry two, I'm still at work, and I can't do anything other than work. β
As he spoke, he tapped on the staff sign on his chest, which said his working hours and his name, which was Angie Robinson.
Wang Bo gave Anderson a look, and then said: "Okay, then let's continue the topic just now, I admit that I lied, I don't just need a bucket of exterior paint, but a lot." β
"How many? I'll arrange for someone to help you move out. β
Wang Bo spread his hands and said: "You are stumped on me, I forgot to calculate, anyway, there are about one hundred and sixty houses, more than one hundred are two-story buildings, and more than forty are three-story buildings." β
The town has been building houses, but not all of them are his investments, most of the building block houses he has invested in, and these houses have to be painted, and he doesn't count the number of them, but there must be more than one hundred and fifty.
"If that's the case, then you need to make an estimate of the area of the faΓ§ade of your house, very simply, sir, multiply the length by the height to get the square meter, and then multiply by 120% on that basis......"
"Why 20% more?"
"Because you're not sure about the exact area right now, it's better to leave an extra 20 percent surplus, which is the best statistical advice can be given for fuzzy numbers."
The answer of the manager on duty was very professional, and Anderson was quite surprised, and said, "I didn't expect Xiaohuang Supermarket to have a talent like you." β
"Thanks for the compliment." The manager on duty bowed slightly, "Each liter of water-soluble exterior wall paint can cover an area of 14-15 square meters according to standard construction methods, while around the corners, window frames, door frames and places closer to the ground need to be coated with 10%-20% more paint, these can also be counted in the surplus number, so this is the only way to calculate." β
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 ask about the area of the exterior wall of the house of different specifications, and then let her count it.
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 of which add up to an area of 50,000 square meters.
The manager on duty smiled when he got the number and said, "Look, what am I talking about?" It's a big deal! You should go and buy exterior paint painting tools first, I will go to the warehouse to count the two kinds of paint you need, it may not be enough. β
Each worker needs a set of tools, including a tray for paint, two paint rollers, one large and one small, and two or three brushes of different sizes - the brushes used to paint exterior walls and edges, corners, door frames and window frames are different.
In addition, he had to buy duct tape, which was used to stick to sensitive items that could not touch the exterior paint, and he also needed a scraper, and some of the paint had to be scraped off if it was stained with dust but did not come off.
Anderson is picking gloves and protective glasses, but fortunately, with the development of modern technology, the damage of exterior wall paint is not so great, and there is no need for protective clothing, otherwise it will be a big expense.
After they selected these tools and supplies, the young duty manager walked 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 take a look." β
Wang Bo pointed to something that was clearly written as a primer and asked, "What does this mean?" β
The duty manager smiled: "You must be able to use it, this is the primer, the thing that is really used to protect the windsurf, the exterior paint is responsible for the aesthetics, some of the windsurf boards have been injured by the wind or bird pecks, then you need the primer to protect it." β
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 in to take a look, and then he whispered, "Chief, it's true, this thing works, and a hundred liters is a very reasonable amount." β
Wang Bo looked at the smiling manager on duty, and when he left, he gritted his teeth and said to Anderson: "Listen, man, dig him under our hands and dig him up to be your assistant!" β
"He's really a human being, right?"
"No, the look on this guy's face makes me unhappy, dig him up so I can teach him a lesson!" (To be continued.) )
