My abandoned oil town became a new frontier

"Boss, Lao Liu is back!"

next moment,

Zhang Dapeng opened the door.

"Uncle Liu is back?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xing immediately put away the design drawings and walked out of the hut.

Although the supply convoy had returned early in the afternoon, the pickup truck was still carrying a full load of things. Most of this load was materials that Yousheng Media Company might need for team building.

"Sent so many building materials? Xiao Wang must have spent a lot of money!"

get off,

Looking at the neatly stacked gray bricks, gray tiles, wood and other cement in the original parking lot, Liu Ming sighed with emotion before coming to Xu Xing.

"Uncle Liu, thank you for your hard work!"

Xu Xing said hello.

"What's the hard work? By the way, Xiao Xu, is it true that the waterway and electrical circuits have been stabilized?"

Liu Ming rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited.

After signing the wind power contract, Xu Xing called Liu Ming and Liu Ming added some common electrical appliances to the purchase list.

"Yeah! The construction team will arrive early tomorrow morning, and the boss said that the convoy transporting fan blades and generator sets will have already set off in the afternoon!"

Xu Xing nodded.

"That's great. I've also signed a contract here. They'll start preparations tonight and they'll be here early tomorrow morning."

Liu Ming then detailed the leasing of equipment and personnel.

Finally, Liu Ming did not forget to add:

"By the way, Xiao Xu, how do we solve the problem of feeding these people? Originally, there were twelve of us here, plus the twenty people who rented the machinery and equipment, by the way! There are also the dozens of people who installed the wind power. There will be at least a hundred people coming down.”

"Have a meal?"

Xu Xing's expression changed.

"Yeah! Theoretically, they have to find their own way to feed themselves, but there are no restaurants here and the surrounding area is desolate, not even a village."

Liu Ming couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

When signing the contract for leasing equipment in the afternoon, the boss Feng Jun contacted several people who specialize in making fast food near the construction site.

result,

When people heard that it was in an abandoned oil town, they shook their heads like a rattle and immediately hung up the phone.

"That's true!"

Xu Xing touched his chin.

He promised to provide three meals a day for Zhang Dapeng and the ten people, but he did not promise the others. In theory, he could ignore it at all, but in the situation in Binghu Village, it was not very particular to watch them eat dry food every day.

Think for a moment,

Xu Xing looked at Liu Ming,

"Then how about we hire a cook directly? Then set up a stall on the roadside? Whoever likes to come over to eat can eat, and if they don't like to eat, they can handle it themselves?"

As Liu Ming said,

He still had a lot to do during the construction period and had no time to be a full-time chef responsible for the food and drink of this group of people.

"Roadside stall? That's okay too! And by the way, we can set up our canteen. This way, we can not only ensure the basic food and drink of the construction team members, but also ensure some other needs, such as beer, cigarettes, etc."

Liu Ming's eyes lit up.

Today, he restored all the shelves and cashier system of the canteen, and even made a sign similar to that of the Binghu Village Campground. By simply cleaning it up, it can be operated like a normal canteen.

"Okay, then we can use the color steel room at the end as a canteen!"

Xu Xing nodded.

"The colored steel house next to it? Zhang Dapeng and the others are not."

Liu Ming was a little surprised when he heard that a canteen was going to be opened in the color steel building next to it.

"When they saw that the weather was clearing up, they wanted to move out! There was no other way, so I called and ordered a few emergency relief tents. I think they can be delivered tonight."

Xu Xing glanced at Zhang Dapeng and others who were unloading the truck.

It can be seen that Zhang Dapeng and the others are still quite constrained living in the color steel house these two days, and living in a tent is indeed more spacious than the color steel house, so they simply agreed to Zhang Dapeng.

"Oh, that's okay! By the way, Xiao Xu, how should we price the items in our canteen? We are spending money everywhere now, so we definitely can't offer them at a fair price!"

Liu Ming nodded and asked again,

When he was purchasing the cashier system today, the staff member taught him in detail the process of loading, scanning, and selling goods. As long as he set the purchasing price and selling price, he could automatically record the daily turnover and profit.

The most important thing is that this is really not a charity. It can provide convenience, but it must be done as it should!

"Pricing? Just refer to the gross profit of ordinary convenience stores! You can just search online, they are all available."

Xu Xing nodded.

In fact, except for some daily necessities and fresh fruits and cooked food, the gross profit can reach more than 40%. The gross profit of other categories is basically 20% to 30%. Of course, cigarettes are even lower, only 10%. Seven to ten percent.

"Okay, I'll figure out how to fix the price tonight!"

Liu Ming said again.

When workers enter the site tomorrow, they will definitely clean up the rubble, dig foundations, and do other basic settings, such as waterway and circuit design, so they shouldn't be too busy these two days.

"Um!"

After confirming the canteen, when Xu Xing turned around to cook for Liu Ming, Liu Ming suddenly thought of something.

"Then where should we find cooking? The county town or Jiuge City?"

"Let's go to the county town! The requirements don't have to be too high, and it doesn't matter if your level is a little bit different, as long as you are willing to come to us! I can help guide you!"

Xu Xing said casually.

He is confident in this. After all, he has brought out many top chefs when he was on Earth. It is not easy to bring someone who cooks home-cooked meals.

"Okay! After that, I'll ask Zhang Dapeng and the others to see if they have a suitable one. Then I'll introduce one to us!"

"good"

When people are busy with work, they really don’t feel the time. If we turn around again, it’s already noon the next day.

Jiuge City,

Cars are coming and going on the street, and street vendors are hiding from the urban management from time to time. The world is full of fireworks.

At the entrance of a hotel,

Liu Ning and his five-person off-road vehicle slowly drove toward Asai County.

inside the car,

Except for Ma Chong who was driving, the other four people were chatting without a word.

"Can we get to Asai County at three o'clock in the afternoon?"

Liu Ning raised his hand to check the time and said.

Originally, they planned to set off early today, but when they got up, they lingered in bed. Finally, they finished their meal and only now are they officially setting off.

"The road from Jiuge City to the county seat of Asai County is easy. We can definitely get there at three o'clock! But I guess it will have to be after six o'clock in the afternoon to get to the oil town."

He Shan glanced at the street shops passing by outside the window and replied casually.

"Six o'clock in the afternoon? That's okay! I don't know what Xu Xing is doing now?"

Liu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Lang sent him another message this morning to ask about the situation, and he made up a random one, saying that Xu Xing was on the verge of collapse. From the telescope, he could still see Xu Xing sitting in front of the hut he built, quietly wiping tears

ps: Many thanks to brothers Miao Xiaofeng and Yunwu Piaoling for their rewards, as well as other brothers’ monthly tickets and recommendation support. The boss is very grateful! Thank you!

Brothers, I will try to do two more updates tonight, but the time may be a little later.
