Surviving the Long Night: Starting from the Gas Station and Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 72 Profits, Personnel Authority, and the Primary Warehouse

Lu Sheng wasn't in a hurry about bedding.

There was still some time before the temperature dropped, and he didn't believe that guests would step on the gas and drive into the night when they found that there were no blankets or sheets at the campsite.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

Jiang Shutong seemed to suddenly remember something, tapped her bracelet, and Lu Sheng received a chart shortly afterward.

It is the balance of an account and daily income.

"This is the cost of overnight stays for the guests over the past few days. Most people choose to stay in their own cars, and only a few stay in container hotels."

So, as we agreed, 90% of the credits are yours.

Lu Sheng looked closely and found that quite a few people had come to the camp at night recently, and the number had been increasing in the last two days.

The account has a total of 53,500 credit points, of which more than 48,000 are his own, according to Jiang Shutong's report.

"Making money in this business is too fast."

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, just spending one night in the camp to avoid the ferocious beasts costs 500 credits, which is the same price as many brand chain hotels in the city."

Jiang Shutong said smugly:

"But this is a remote wilderness, full of ferocious beasts. People are willing to pay for safety. I was hesitant to lower the price, but it turns out that no one thought it was expensive."

Seeing her like this, Lu Sheng asked curiously:

"But most of these people don't stay in hotels. If they don't stay in hotels, you won't make money. Aren't you worried?"

"I'm not worried at all. The traffic here will definitely get higher and higher in the future. By winter, there probably won't be enough space for the hotel."

Jiang Shutong was full of hope for the future and even gave Lu Sheng a suggestion:

"Lu Sheng, you said that as the number of staff at the camp increases, could we set up a talent registration center?"

People arriving first fill out their information, then submit it to this registration center. When job openings appear at the camp, they can directly go to the registration center to select suitable candidates.

"Conversely, job openings that need to be filled can also be posted at the registration center, allowing people looking for work to actively seek out recruiters?"

Seeing that Lu Sheng fully understood her meaning, Jiang Shutong nodded:

"That's right, it's much more convenient than having to arrange everything for everyone yourself. It's fine when there are few people, but when there are many people, you'll be too busy."

"Good idea. We can first make a bulletin board to list the positions needed in the camp, and then build a separate talent registration center, or talent transfer station."

Lu Sheng was currently racking his brains about how to settle the fifteen family members, but Jiang Shutong's idea gave him a new perspective:

"The job information is compiled by a dedicated person, who will also temporarily serve as the interviewer for the position. I have a very good candidate."

"I can roughly guess who you'll choose."

The two looked at Cheng Qiushui not far away, who was chatting with Ye Jinghong and other family members.

Currently, Lu Sheng is the station chief in the camp, Jiang Shutong is in charge of business, and Lin Ran is positioned as Lu Sheng's assistant, with her duties depending on Lu Sheng's needs.

Su Caiwei is a doctor, and Meng Lingshi will be in charge of the construction project, but Cheng Qiushui has never had a clear position.

"Autumn Water!"

Lu Sheng called out to Cheng Qiushui, who then spoke briefly with the people around her before hurrying over.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"I have an honorable position to offer you."

Lu Sheng explained his and Jiang Shutong's plan, then placed his hand on Cheng Qiushui's shoulder with great anticipation:

"From now on, you will be the camp's personnel manager."

"This is an important position, boss. I didn't expect you to trust me so much."

Cheng Qiushui knew he was already doing something similar, but he didn't expect Lu Sheng to explicitly hand over this position to him.

This means that in the future development of the camp, I will have the power over personnel matters and only need to be responsible to the mainland students. This is the ultimate trust.

"This is also a tough job, you know, all sorts of weirdos will be coming to the camp in the future."

"I will do my best. I have a lot of experience in overcoming difficulties and setbacks."

In response to Lu Sheng's words, Cheng Qiushui placed her hand on her chest and made a promise:

"I will make the best use of everyone's talents and ensure that the camp is in good working order."

Seeing Cheng Qiushui's confident demeanor, Lu Sheng and Jiang Shutong knew they had found the right person. After accepting the appointment, Cheng Qiushui returned to the family members.

He knew very well that his first task after taking office was to get all these family members involved in the operation of the camp.

After completing their appointments, Lu Sheng and Jiang Shutong returned to their busy lives.

Jiang Shutong is in charge of the camp's commercial operations and also responsible for purchasing various supplies. Lu Sheng hopes she can find a relatively inexpensive timber supplier.

While Jiang Shutong was busy looking for channels, Lu Sheng arrived at the north side of the camp, where two shipping containers were placed side by side and used as a warehouse.

On the outer shell of the container, he could still see the marks left by Meng Lingshi. Even without deformation, the steel that made up the container was no harder than cotton in her hands.

Cheng Qiushui misunderstood her as a knife, but Lu Sheng felt that Meng Lingshi, who could be transformed into engineering machinery, would be much more helpful to him in the future than a weapon.

Meng Lingshi, having nothing to do at the moment, was quietly observing the busy activities of everyone in the camp when Lu Sheng waved to her:

"Ling Shi, do me a favor and move the steel coils and timber from that truck over there."

Okay.

Upon receiving the order, she ran and, after several trips, moved the timber and steel coils that had been piled on the truck to the side of the container.

"Mission accomplished."

Thanks.

Lu Sheng reached out and pressed his hand on the container, and at the same time, on the text that appeared.

"Container, which will soon consume one unit of steel and one unit of wood to upgrade to a multi-purpose container, please select the enhancement attribute:"

1. Prefabricated house: Add doors and windows to convert it into a container house that can be used as a residence.

2. Warehouse: Thickened container body and added door locks to improve security.

3. Special Equipment Room: Can be used as a temporary equipment room for laying water and electricity pipelines.

This was the second time he had looked at these entries, and he already had a plan on how to upgrade them. Meng Lingshi watched as the materials turned into streams of light that enveloped the two containers, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

She is an architect herself, but Lu Sheng's methods and presentation are completely different from hers.

"The container is being upgraded to a warehouse. According to your wishes, adjacent containers will be merged, and it will eventually be upgraded to a basic warehouse."

As the light faded, the two shipping containers disappeared, replaced by a warehouse that was taller and wider than the two containers.

Lu Sheng stepped forward, took the key hanging on the warehouse door handle, and inserted it into the lock.
