Chapter 126

The pointer pointed to the mysterious heart, and Wang Bo touched it, and then the words "Box of Containing Heart" appeared, the drawer split, and a small light green box appeared.

The box was about ten centimeters long, ten centimeters wide, and five centimeters high. It was divided into ten grids. Each grid was about the size of an old king's fist, which could fit a territory heart.

Seeing this, the old king understood that this heart-holding box should be specially used to hold the hearts of the territory, and each grid can accommodate one. In this way, he does not have to use it on the spot when he draws the hearts of the territory in the future, but can store them.

At the beginning of April, with the autumn wind blowing to New Zealand, as the maple leaves on the Southern Alps turned fiery red, and as the green trees and green grass began to gradually turn yellow, the Highway 8 that Lao Wang had been looking forward to for half a year was finally opened to traffic.

The government's determination to build this road is also very firm. It hired the best group in road and bridge engineering in Oceania, and the design started from the two ends at the same time and moved to the middle, so half the man-hours were saved.

Wang Bo thought that if such an important highway was opened to traffic, the government would have to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony no matter what.

As a result, there was no fart, and he was not even notified. However, there were many reports on the news. Several major media in New Zealand reported the construction of Route 8.

Although the road has been built, it has not been completed. It can only be said that it can be opened to traffic now. Many sections of the road still need to be improved in the later stage. It will be the end of the year at the earliest before the completion of No. 8 Highway.

But for Lao Wang, it is enough if it can be opened to traffic, because the opening to traffic means the flow of people, and the popularity of the town will gradually accumulate.

The construction of the third-class road is almost the same. This road is much simpler than the No. 8 road, but Potter's construction company is not strong enough, and the construction time is longer.

In this way, the two roads are connected in a T shape, and there are two open spaces on both sides of the intersection, which is the golden location of the town in terms of commerce.

He has already built two building block houses in advance, one big and one small. The big one covers an area of ​​about 500 square meters, and the small one covers an area of ​​about 400 square meters.

According to his plan, the big house will be used as a supermarket, and the small house will be used as a fast food restaurant. After the popularity of the town rises in the future, it will definitely make money.

Since no one came to invest, Lao Wang simply played by himself. Anyway, he still has money in hand, so it is no problem to open a supermarket and a fast food restaurant.

With the money from selling "Psalm", about 17 million was needed to build a tertiary road, and about 5 million was needed to build a hydropower system, which happened to be used up.

However, only 75% of the cost of the road construction was paid, and the hydropower system had just started and only paid a deposit of one million yuan. Wang Bo still had more than eight million yuan in his hand.

Considering the current number of residents and traffic flow in the small town, opening a supermarket is not a good choice. Wang Bo decided to open a convenience store, which will expand as the number of people increases in the future.

Professional managers are needed in this area, and it happens that Barbara's husband, Anderson Cage, once worked as an executive at Carrefour in Oakland, can help.

Wang Bo happily hired Anderson. He gave a weekly salary of 1,500 yuan, and the year-end bonus was settled according to the turnover. Anderson was very satisfied with the salary and agreed to manage the convenience store.

This job is very important to Barbara's family. It is not easy to rely on female painters to make a living. She is only a well-known painter, and sometimes she can't sell one or two paintings a month. The family's expenses are a bit embarrassing.

After taking over the job at the convenience store, Anderson held a small barbecue party at home, and invited Wang Bo and his party to have a drink while talking about work.

Anderson handed Pharaoh a bottle of beer, and said, "Boss, if it's just a convenience store, then we don't need to decorate. The decoration of the house itself is fine. But I think your purpose is to open a supermarket, right? Then we'd better fix it first."

Wang Bo took a sip of beer and said, "I'll leave it to you, buddy. Since I hired you, I obviously trust you, so you can come here with confidence. If you need funds, just ask me for approval."

For this trust, Anderson was very moved. Because he knows that Wang Bo understands his past and what he did in the casino. If hiring him can be regarded as a timely help, then maintaining trust in him is a rebirth of kindness.

In addition to decoration, the convenience store also needs two clerks, because this kind of store needs to be open 24 hours a day. New Zealand implements a three-to-eight working system, and Anderson can handle one shift by himself, so he needs two shifts.

Anderson didn't bother him about this aspect. After all, he was an executive at Carrefour and had plenty of contacts in this aspect. He called and found two suitable resumes through the manager of Carrefour's personnel department. After negotiating the salary, he brought the applicants to the small town.

The two applicants belonged to the small town of Omarama. They were in their twenties, young and energetic, and able to stay up late. They were very suitable for the convenience store job.

In mid-April, after simple decoration, after recruiting employees and delivering to the shelves, the convenience store will be ready to purchase and open.

Anderson does have experience in supermarket management. Lao Wang didn't think it was necessary to renovate, because in his memory, except for the small yellow supermarket, which is all painted in yellow, other supermarkets are nothing, just an empty space with shelves and the like That's all.

But in Anderson's design, the convenience store is not so simple.

First of all, he divided the walls, and set up small areas such as vegetable and fruit sales areas, dried fruit sales areas, gift sales areas, and snacks sales areas according to the relationship between the volume, proportion and facade scale of the building.

After wandering around inside, Wang Bo was a little confused: "Xue Te, Anderson, why is your plan like a maze?"

Anderson smiled and said: "I did it on purpose, you know, boss, so that once people are in it, it is easy to lose their way. At this time, they tend to forget how far they have walked in the mall, and how far they have come. How long have you been shopping?"

After a pause, he pointed to a few corners and said: "At that time, we will put some discounted items in these places. Even if customers don't need them, when they visit these places, they will buy them under the mentality of taking advantage of the bargain." .”

Wang Bo thought for a while, and felt that what he said was really reasonable, so he gave him a thumbs up and said, "Good job, buddy, you are an expert!"

Anderson smiled modestly and said, "Actually, it's not my idea. Carrefour has been doing this all the time. If you walk into a Carrefour in Oakland, you will find that you can't find the exit except by following the signs on the ground. In this way , you will be led by the nose by the merchants invisibly, and you will browse the entire supermarket and buy more things that were not originally planned."
