553. The town's big costumes (4/5)

Under Anderson's guidance, Wang Bo drove to the pak’n-save supermarket, which is Xiaohuang supermarket.

There is only one pak’n-save in Ao City. Wang Bo has visited him. The first time he and Eva had a close contact was here. Eva accompanied him to buy a lot of daily necessities.

He walked into the supermarket, told Anderson about the experience, and said with a smile: "Time is like water, 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 decorate the house, just apply exterior paint to the house, so I need some paint and related tools."

"Okay, then follow me, the groceries are in this position." The young man in work clothes said politely.

Wang Bo followed him forward, 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 know, it turns out that pak’n-save also provides shopping guides."

Indeed, this supermarket does not have shopping guide services. Its corporate culture is to "make New Zealanders save more money". In order to reduce costs, supermarkets save money from all aspects.

For example, the decoration style of this supermarket is very simple and even a bit simple, with only cold giant shelves and concrete floors inside, and there are no supermarket employees serving customers at all.

The staff member heard his words and turned around and smiled, "I am not a shopping guide, I am 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, and this is our distinguished customer."

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 still remembered that he had bought 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."

"I've been to Sunset Town, which is a beautiful place," said the duty manager. "You have successfully built the town. I can see your busyness. If it's just a bucket of paint, you won't come to our supermarket in person."

Wang Bo found it interesting. No wonder this young man was able to become the duty manager of this supermarket at a young age. His brain is very flexible.

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

The duty manager shrugged and said, "If this is not working hours, I would be happy to discuss such a topic. But it doesn't work now. Sorry, I'm still in work and can't do anything other than work."

As he said that, he knocked on the employee card on his chest, which read his working hours and his name, Angie Robinson.

Wang Bo gave Anderson a wink and said, "Okay, then let's continue with the topic just now. I admit that I'm lying. I don't just need a bucket of exterior paint, but a lot."

"How many are there? I'll arrange for the employees to move out for you."

Wang Bo spread his hands and said, "You're stumping me. I forgot to calculate it. There are about 160 houses, more than 100 are two-story buildings, and more than 40 are three-story buildings."

The town has been under construction of houses, but not all of them are his investments. The building block houses he invests in are just the majority. These houses have to be painted. He has not counted the specific number of buildings, but there must be more than 150.

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

“Why is there an extra 20%?”

"Because you are not sure about the specific area now, it is best to leave an extra 20% surplus, which is the best advice that statistics can provide for fuzzy numbers."

The manager on duty answer was very professional, and Anderson was quite surprised and said, "I didn't expect that Xiaohuang Supermarket would have talents like you."

"Thank you for your compliment." The duty manager bowed slightly, "Each liter of water-soluble exterior wall paint can cover an area of ​​14-15 square meters according to the standard construction method. However, the corners of the bush, window frames, door frames and places closer to the ground need to be applied 10%-20% of the paint. These can also be calculated in the surplus numbers, so just calculate it like this."

Actually, 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 exterior wall area of ​​houses of different specifications, and then asked her to count it.

This is not a very complicated matter. The data soon came out. There were 165 houses in total, including 101 second-story buildings and 65 three-story buildings, all of which were 50,000 square meters in total.

After getting the number, the manager on duty smiled and said, "Look, what am I talking about? A big business! You can buy exterior paint smear tools first. I want to go to the warehouse to count the two paint stocks you need, which may not be 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, two to three brushes of different sizes brush the exterior wall and the edges and corners. The brushes used for door frames and window frames are different.

In addition, he also had to buy tape, which was used to stick to sensitive items that could not touch the exterior wall paint, and also needed a scraper. Some paint was contaminated with dust but did not fall off, so it had to be scraped off.

Anderson is picking up gloves and protective glasses. Fortunately, due to the development of modern technology, exterior paint is not so harmful. No protective clothing is needed, otherwise it will be a big expense.

They selected these tools and supplies, and the youth duty manager 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 and different prices, you can take a look."

Wang Bo pointed to something that stated it was primer and asked, "What does this mean?"

The duty manager smiled and said, "You must have it. This is the primer, the thing that really is used to protect the windsurfing. The exterior paint is responsible for the beauty. Some windsurfings are damaged by wind or bird pecking. At this time, you need a primer to protect it."

Wang Bo looked at the price and the duty manager 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 number."

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

"Is he really a talent?"
