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

Chapter 57 New Division of Labor
"Mr. Shen reluctantly agreed last night after being persuaded by our Captain Yang, but he didn't mention the specific price. But if you offer less, you definitely won't be able to get it!"

After a moment's thought,

Pang Zhengyun replied.

"how to say?"

Pang Zhengyu frowned.

"I want to ask you how long the filming period of Dream of the Red Chamber is?"

"Since our goal this time is to create a classic, we strive for perfection in costumes, makeup, and props. In addition to the actors' running-in and observation, the filming will take at least one year."

Pang Zhengyu replied immediately.

This time is not a temporary guess, but is calculated after a meeting with a group of main creators.

"Okay, let's not talk about more than a year, let's just calculate it for one year! If Mr. Shen's Grand View Garden were operating normally, its normal annual revenue should be over 40 to 50 million. And you're going to use it for a full year, what about the depreciation of the Grand View Garden?"

Pang Zhengyun pointed the camera at the inside of the Grand View Garden again.

"How can a Grand View Garden in the Gobi Desert be worth 40 to 50 million?"

Hearing this,

There was a hint of doubt between Pang Zhengyu's brows.

"Brother, although Mr. Shen said that the room standards at Grand View Garden are not high for Brother Yang's sake, anyone can see that if such a room were placed in the city, the standard room would start at at least a thousand yuan a night!
You should be aware of the current accommodation market in our Xia country.

The more remote and unique the B&B, the higher the price. Therefore, a room in the Grand View Garden is definitely priced at around two thousand yuan a night.

Think again about how many houses there are in the Grand View Garden?"

Pang Zhengyun began to analyze the accommodation prices in Grand View Garden.

in fact,

As early as last night, the cycling team members had discussed it quietly and came to the conclusion that the standard room starts at NT$2,000 a night, and the single room should be around NT$2,500.

"But even if the price is right, it's the Gobi Desert over there after all. How many people can come there every day?"

Pang Zhengyu asked again.

"Brother, when Brother Yang posted the photo of Grand View Garden to the association last night, the group went wild! Many members even suggested that this first-level supply point be directly listed on the official website homepage and used as a benchmark for future promotion.

You know better what the cycling association members are like.
Ninety percent of them are rich and have free time, so they don't care about the price of two to three thousand per night. In addition, the geographical location of Daguanyuan is special. It is 400 kilometers to the west and more than 100 kilometers to the east to the county town. There are snow and deserts to the north and south.

Do you think they'd miss a supply point like this?"

Pang Zhengyun took a look at the Gobi Desert to the north.

Although the map shows that the northern end of Tama is the Great Snow Mountain, the naked eye can only see the vast Gobi Desert, and has no idea where the so-called Great Snow Mountain is.

"Forehead"

Pang Zhengyu fell into deep thought.

It wasn't until a long time later that I asked,

"Then how much do you think is appropriate to offer Mr. Shen?"

"I think it's at least 80 million! 50 million for normal expenses and 20 million for depreciation. Doesn't Mr. Shen have to make some extra money?"

Pang Zhengyun reported the number.

"Eighty million? Eighty million is enough to build a garden like this!"

Pang Zhengyu's eyes widened, unable to accept the number his brother reported.

"Build one yourself? Brother, do you know the market price of a blue brick? I estimate that with the current scale, Mr. Shen should have invested 50 to 60 million!"
of course,

The most important thing isn't money. If you could build a Grand View Garden like this for 80 million, why would you spend half a year looking for a filming location?

Pang Zhengyun immediately retorted.

"This"

Pang Zhengyu was suddenly speechless.

At this time, Pang Zhengyun spoke again, "Brother, sometimes I really can't understand the thinking of you producers. You pay those actors hundreds of millions of yuan in salary, and spend hundreds of millions of yuan on publicity and promotion, without blinking an eye! But then you think spending 80 million yuan on a unique real-life filming location is too expensive."

"How can it be the same? That money is used to buy traffic!"

Pang Zhengyu muttered.

"But your goal this time is to create a classic that will be passed down through the ages. Can a traffic star make a classic? And let's be frank, those traffic stars you paid a high price for might fall from grace one day, and then the movie will have to be pulled along with them."

Pang Zhengyun followed up with this.

This time, Pang Zhengyu was completely silent. It was not until a long time later that he looked at his brother Pang Zhengyun.

"Well, I'll talk to the other co-producers first and give you a reply within half an hour."

"it is good!"

at the same time,

Just as Pang Zhengyun was making the call, at the gas station, Sun Kang, the new intern Wu Juan, and the gas attendant Xiao Mingyu were sorting the shelves. The convenience store's goods were sold very quickly these days, so much so that the wholesale department had to deliver goods every two or three days.

"Manager Sun, I heard that you'll be in charge of the food stalls for a while?"

While tallying the goods,
Wu Juan asked.

Although Wu Juan only came yesterday, she has become much more familiar with Sun Kang today.

"Ok!"

Sun Kang nodded.

When Shen Chuan talked to him about the food stall plan yesterday, he didn't hesitate at all!

What is Bole?

What is the grace of recognition? This is it!

I didn't mind his talkativeness when he first came, and now he has given me my favorite position. I must follow such a boss to the end.

Moreover, Sun Kang has secretly vowed that he will do his best to repay this kindness after taking over the food stall.

"So I'm the only one left in the business office?"

"No, didn't Mr. Shen and your teacher Dong agree on this yesterday? I guess a few more students from your class will be here tomorrow!"

Sun Kang immediately waved his hand.

"But we are all interns and are not familiar with the business yet. What if..."

Wu Juan couldn't help but worry.

"It's okay! After I go to the food stall, Lao Xiao will take over the gas station and convenience store business. You will listen to Lao Xiao's specific arrangements then."

Sun Kang turned and looked at Xiao Mingyu.

Maybe it was because they were both the first employees of the gas station, or maybe one of them was a chatterbox and the other was a loner, but Sun Kang and Xiao Mingyu not only got along very well after being together, but also changed a lot.
One of them didn't talk as much as before, and the other one even started to speak slowly, which was a medical miracle.

After Shen Chuan found him yesterday afternoon, he found Xiao Mingyu and told him about taking over the gas station and convenience store. Xiao Mingyu took it without any hesitation.

"All right!"

When Wu Juan heard that Xiao Mingyu was taking over the gas station and convenience store, she subconsciously stuck out her tongue.

Ever since they learned yesterday that Xiao Mingyu was a graduate of Qinghua University's law program with a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree, several interns have been full of admiration for this taciturn gas station attendant. They even feel like they are not on the same level every time they greet him.

"Don't worry, Lao Xiao is very capable. He actually gives me advice on many things in the convenience store! If there's an emergency, you can gesture or type for him."

As if noticing that Wu Juan was a little unnatural, Sun Kang added again.

"Understood, Manager Sun!"

Wu Juan nodded hurriedly.

But just when Sun Kang wanted to say something else,
A faint voice came from the corner of the convenience store.

“I’m a quiet person, but I’m not deaf.”
