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

Chapter 43: Gobi Earns Money and Spends Money

"Okay, Mr. Shen, I'll arrange it!"

Seeing Shen Chuan's determination,

Bao Gongtou nodded immediately. He now had only one thought: Shen Chuan was the real expert. Since he made such arrangements, there must be reasons for it. He just needed to carry out the arrangements unconditionally.

"Engineer Wang, please arrange the bed and bathroom. Once you've finished cleaning tomorrow, you can go and collect the payment for the Xiaoxiang Pavilion project."

I carefully checked the project details again to make sure everything was done according to my design.

Only then did Shen Chuan turn around and look at the contractor.

Because the core part of Xiaoxiang Pavilion was designed by themselves, and all the building materials were also their own, after discussion, Xiaoxiang Pavilion was sold as a whole package at a price of 400,000 yuan.

It sounds like 400,000 may not be much.

But in fact, the profit received by the contractor was no less than that of previous projects, and it was in cash.

"Mr. Shen, when will our next phase of the project begin?"

The contractor rubbed his hands happily and couldn't help but ask again in a low voice.

That's right,

This is the first time in all his years of work that he has taken on such a satisfying project. If possible, he really wants to continue to contract here.

"The lake, the wall, and the gate?"

While chatting, the two had already arrived at the back door of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Standing here and looking south,

There is a large puddle two hundred meters away from the back door, which is where the oil company helped drill two wells.

"Ok!"

The contractor nodded hurriedly.

"You will go survey the site tonight, and the necessary construction materials will be delivered by noon tomorrow."

After a little thought,

Shen Chuan said.

The building materials that we spent 1.04 million on that day have been used up by 60% in the past few days. If we want to continue with the next project, we have to continue to replenish the building materials.

"Understood, Mr. Shen!"

The contractor breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's it for now. I'll go to the business hall. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Shen Chuan said.

"You're busy!"

A few minutes later,

Shen Chuan came to the business hall of the gas station.

"Mr. Shen, you're here?"

Seeing Shen Chuan, Sun Kanghe, who was tidying up the shelves, hurriedly greeted him.

In just a few days,
Sun Kang seemed like a different person. Besides being a little tired and a little exhausted, his face also looked much more haggard.

Surprisingly,

The gas station attendant Xiao Mingyu actually smiled and nodded at Shen Chuan, and also asked, "Mr. Shen, hello!"

"How much money do we have in our public account now?"

Shen Chuan patted Xiao Mingyu on the shoulder, then nodded to Sun Kang.

These past two days, neither the gas station staff nor Liang Xun were idle, especially Sun Kang. It was not known whether it was because of Xiao Mingyu's leadership or because he was too busy, but he spoke at least half as little as when he first arrived.

"Mr. Shen, we now have over 713,400 in our public account!"

Without any hesitation, Sun Kang accurately blurted out a number.

"Huh? So many?"

Shen Chuan couldn't believe his ears.

The reason why I asked how much money was in the public account was because the construction fee for Xiaoxiang Pavilion had to be paid soon, and the remaining two pavilions would probably be completed the day after tomorrow!

According to the previously reached agreement,
The balance in the third-party account was still quite a bit, so I thought of transferring some of it from the gas station’s public account first.

I'd thought the gas station, which had only been open for five or six days at most, would have made a couple hundred thousand or even a half-billion dollars, which would have been impressive. But it actually made over seven hundred thousand. How could I not be astonished? This revenue was already comparable to some large gas stations in other cities.

"Ok!"

“How could that be?”

"Mr. Shen, you don't know that due to the unique geographical location of our gas station, it takes more than 300 kilometers to reach the next gas station after passing Xinsheng! After the map navigation is updated, most heavy truck drivers will follow the navigation and fill up their gas here.

Some people even spend a little money, buying instant noodles and cigarettes.”

Sun Kang explained.

Just now, they sent away two semi-trailers.

"That's not that much!"

Shen Chuan went over the refueling situation of heavy trucks in the past few days in his mind.

"Boss Shen, the rest is contributed by the engineering team to the gas station!"

Sun Kang smiled with his teeth bared.

The gas station attendant next to him actually smiled and said "yes".

Before Shen Chuan could speak, Sun Kang continued to explain,
"Those construction dump trucks have nowhere to refuel, so they have no choice but to choose our gas station! And the private cars that the workers drive back and forth these days also refuel here! In addition, another big source of fuel is our convenience store!
The 500-plus workers can earn us several thousand dollars a day just from cigarettes, beer, and other snacks."

"Making money in the Gobi Desert and spending it there? An internal economic cycle?"

For a time,

Shen Chuan didn't know what to say.

It turns out that after all the money I paid, I got back half of it, or even more.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, there will be no need to worry about the subsequent project payments!

"Mr. Shen, I'm really curious about how our gas station closed down before. Theoretically, there's no shortage of business. Drivers passing by said they've been waiting for this gas station to reopen for years."

Sun Kang sighed again.

“Maybe I didn’t manage it carefully before!”

After a little thought,

Shen Chuan looked at Sun Kang,

"Xiao Sun, keep the money for refueling and restocking, and transfer the rest to the account I gave you earlier. I need to prepare some extra funds for the project!"

"Okay, I'll do some calculations tonight to see how much money is left!"

"Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go check on Uncle Liang! We'll try to finish building our accommodation area as soon as possible."

I glanced at the clock on the wall.

Shen Chuan said again.

Although Xiaoxiang Pavilion has been completed, the progress of the accommodation area is much slower than expected.

"Mr. Shen, you are busy!"

"Mr. Shen, goodbye!"

Xiao Mingyu once again waved to Shen Chuan.

"goodbye!"

The sun sets,

Mid-March in Jiangsu Province is the most beautiful time of the year. At sunset, the park is full of couples and elderly people taking a walk.

On the third floor of a family compound of a government unit in Suzhou City,

A man was packing books and some personal belongings in the study, and next to him was a middle-aged woman with outstanding temperament.

"What's wrong? Your transfer to Fu City is a formal promotion. You're going to be in charge of Fu City. Why do you look so worried? You don't have to worry about me. If there is an opportunity in the future, I can find a way to transfer to Fu City."

moment,

The middle-aged woman came to the man and asked with concern.

"Oh, I just thought of Xiaoyu! The driver came back and said that Xiaoyu lived in a tent over there. Think about it, living in a tent, how good can the food be? It's almost been a week, and I don't know how he is doing now!"

The man turned and looked at the middle-aged woman.
There was nothing but worry on his face!
