Beating the New First-tier: Starting from Abandoned Gas Stations

Chapter 13 The Strength of the Cycling Circle
"Continue running the gas station?"

Shen Chuan paused.

Not to mention,
He had actually thought of this on the way to the Gobi Desert, but yesterday he took out a loan of 50 million from the system, and he was already tied to this Gobi Desert!
If you don't have any ideas about making quick money, opening a gas station seems to be a good choice.

The gas station was abandoned because no one took care of it.

Now that we have people, even if there are not many cars on National Highway 215, we will definitely not lose money.

“If conditions permit, it will reopen.”

Pull back your thoughts,

Shen Chuan replied truthfully.

"Then if the gas station reopens, would you be interested in having it become the official refueling point along the way for our Xia Country Outdoor Cycling Association?"

Hearing Shen Chuan's answer, Yang Xing instantly became interested and immediately stood up and came to Shen Chuan.

"Captain Yang, what are the official supply points along the way?"

Shen Chuan was a little confused.

"Xiao Shen, don't call me Captain Yang! I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Yang."

After smiling and changing Shen Chuan's address, Yang Xing explained again,

"That's right! In order to ensure the safety of its members' outdoor cycling, the Xia Country Outdoor Cycling Association has reached a cooperative supply agreement with some gas stations on our Xia Country's national highways!
The association will give different amounts of fixed fees every year according to the rating of the gas station.

The lowest level is 100,000 yuan per year, and the best level is 2 million yuan per year!
As for the gas station, what needs to be done is:

As long as an association member encounters a problem within 50 kilometers of the supply point,

Gas stations need to provide unconditional rescue and at the same time provide the association members with the most basic food supplies to ensure their safety.

of course,

Association members must also pay for rescue and supply costs as stipulated in the relevant agreements, which are not included in the fixed-point fees."

"So that's how it is, though."

Although Yang Xing only gave a brief introduction, Shen Chuan knew that this was definitely a rare cooperation for ordinary gas stations. In some areas, it even required strong connections to obtain it.

"Don't want to?"

Yang Xing was a little surprised.

“Not mainly.”

Shen Chuan looked around, and the meaning was very clear.

"You've seen the conditions here, and they probably can't meet your needs."

"Xiao Shen, let me be honest! Many large gas stations have been unable to become our supply point partners despite using all their connections. Their conditions are exceptional! But your gas station, while its conditions are average, has a truly advantageous location!"
Four hundred kilometers west of here is uninhabited area, and there is no other gas station on the national highway!

If we want to resupply, we have to take a detour to the highway service area. How can we cyclists get on the highway?
Therefore, this section of road is called "The Road of the Brave" by our cycling circle. It is the most difficult section of road in our country. In the past few years, many cycling enthusiasts have died because of it.

Speaking of which,

Yang Xing paused for a moment before looking at Shen Chuan again.

"To be more specific, you saw what happened today. So, it's us, the Cycling Association, who need you as a designated service provider, not you, who need us."

"So, to become a designated rescue and supply point, do we need to apply to the Xia Country Cycling Association?"

Shen Chuan was somewhat tempted.

If what Yang Xing said is true, then we can definitely give it a try.

Once the gas station starts operating later, this will bring in a lot of revenue. "Xiao Shen, all you need is a nod of approval. Captain Yang will do the rest!"

At this time, another man who had already lit the fire said with a smile.

"So simple?"

Shen Chuan couldn't help but look at Yang Xing.

"You don't know that Captain Yang is not only the president of our Su Province Outdoor Cycling Association and the president of the Su Province Motorcycle Association, but he is also one of the vice presidents of the Xia Country Outdoor Cycling Association, so all we need is your consent.

And you don’t have to worry about whether the relevant fees can be paid in time, the Outdoor Cycling Association has plenty of money.”

The man explained.

However, although the man looked very humble, his words vaguely revealed another kind of pride, especially when he mentioned the three words "not short of money".

"So it's Vice President Yang. How disrespectful!"

Shen Chuan suddenly understood.

No wonder Yang Xing was so confident just now, it turns out he really has the confidence.

Yang Xing turned his head and glanced at the man traveling with him in a bad mood before looking at Shen Chuan again.

"Xiao Shen, what are you doing? I just told you to just call me Brother Yang! How about this? Let's make this gas station a supply point for our cycling association."

"Since Brother Yang has no problems, I'm sure there will be no problems on my side! But we have to wait until my gas station reopens."

Shen Chuan is not the kind of person who has to pretend before doing anything.
Now that things have come to this, and it is also beneficial to me, I would be a fool not to agree.

"Great, Xiao Shen, what's your phone number? Let's add each other in contact."

Hearing Shen Chuan's agreement,

Yang Xing was overjoyed and quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"Brother Yang, my cell phone number is 150*...&..."

Shen Chuan also took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"By the way, Xiao Shen, when can your gas station reopen? If there is a specific time, I will send a notice to the branches in each province and let all members pay special attention to it."

Added contact information.
Yang Xing couldn't help but ask again.

Judging from his expression, he wished the gas station could immediately become an off-site supply point for the cycling association.

But if you think about it, you can understand.

If this supply point had been there earlier, their cycling team would not have been in such a mess as they are today even if they encountered rare extreme weather.

"Hey, Brother Yang, I'm just being honest. Although the foundation of this gas station is still there, including the business license, we don't need to apply for a new one, but we need to buy new gas pumps and other things. In addition, the underground oil storage tanks are probably reaching the scrap age.
Therefore,
I need to communicate with the Northwest Branch of Xiaguo Petroleum to find out the specific reopening date and see what the situation is there."

After thinking for a while, Shen Chuan replied.

In Xiaguo, there are not many official channels for gas stations to purchase finished oil. The mainstream ones are Xiaguo Petroleum and Xiaguo Petrochemical.

In memory,
The wholesale and sales of refined oil products in the five northwestern provinces are all managed by Xiaguo Petroleum Northwest Branch.

"Xiao Shen, you mean that as long as we update the equipment and oil storage tanks, and then let the Northwest Branch of Xiaguo Petroleum supply oil here, we can open it?"

Yang Xing's expression changed.

"Well, but I heard that the people at the Northwest Branch of Xiaguo Petroleum are very arrogant. They don't even take some local departments seriously. They only deal with provincial-level units. So, even if we go through the normal approval process, it will probably take some time."

Shen Chuan nodded.
