Chapter 265: Chapter 271
Don’t be fooled by the 10 Gold Coins; when you start spending them, they don’t actually buy much.
For Shen Zhigui and the five big guys, if they really splurged, they’d run through them in a couple of days.
"Sure, cash on delivery."
There’s no way she’s going to offer credit; this is a small business, and she’s waiting to use the Gold Coins for tasks.
After Little Fox provided the safe passage route map, Chu Jiangyue first chose the farthest city, H Province, S City, with a total length of 1,740 kilometers, which is 1,740,000 meters.
At Jianglin Hotel, the safety passage construction material costs 1 Gold Coin per square meter.
According to the ideal plan of a two-way, six-lane design, the width needs to be at least 35 meters.
In other words, this safety passage will require a total of 60.9 million Gold Coins.
This price made Chu Jiangyue’s vision go black.
Tolls! Tolls are a must!
Tolls must be collected at both entrances and exits!
If she invests such a huge sum to build these safety passages, there’s no advantage at all, otherwise, she won’t be able to complete this task at all.
She always wondered where she had been spending Gold Coins; from the start of the apocalypse until now, she’d saved a big stash, but didn’t expect it to be needed here.
『Little Fox, are you sure this task wasn’t premeditated?』
Chu Jiangyue shook Little Fox, trying to discern any clue from its face.
"How could it be, Host, how could you think of me like this (´._.｀)"
Little Fox’s face was full of grievance.
Chu Jiangyue was just trying to tease it, regardless of whether it admits or not, she just wanted to observe Little Fox’s micro-expressions.
However, judging from the observations, Little Fox isn’t the mastermind.
『Alright, alright, I know it’s not you, don’t make that face.』
After all, the trouble she caused, Chu Jiangyue still had to comfort in the end.
However, to complete the task, Chu Jiangyue promptly released a recruitment announcement for the construction of the safe passage.
To quickly complete the safe passage construction task, Chu Jiangyue raised the salary to 50 silver coins a day, with a 7-hour workday, from 9 to 5, and a two-hour break at noon.
silver coins a day adds up to 1,500 silver coins a month, equivalent to 150,000 copper coins.
Based on the conversion of 1 copper coin to 1 yuan, you can earn 150,000 in a month, which is extremely high even before the apocalypse.
If you’re frugal at Jianglin Hotel, 50 silver coins are enough for a day’s expenses, with even some left over.
So as soon as Chu Jiangyue issued the recruitment announcement, many people came to the office hall to inquire about Chu Jiangyang’s requirements for safe passage construction jobs.
Chu Jiangyang wasn’t aware of Chu Jiangyue’s recruitment requirements, so he only replied to everyone with a notice to wait for further instructions.
After the crowd dispersed, Chu Jiangyang even sent a message to Chu Jiangyue, asking about the recruitment requirements for the construction workers she needed this time.
The Chujiang Band’s safety passage didn’t have any specific requirements, just one: the work efficiency must be fast, the faster the better.
The sooner the task is completed, the more confidently they can face the upcoming unknown challenges.
With the standards provided by Chu Jiangyue, Chu Jiangyang knew how to find the right people.
The next time someone inquired, Chu Jiangyang handed them an information form to fill out and told them to wait for further notice.
After collecting the information forms, Chu Jiangyang found a quiet moment to deliver them to Chu Jiangyue.
Ultimately, it was Chu Jiangyue who decided whom to hire; Chu Jiangyang’s role was merely to collect the application information.
After reviewing the application forms filled in by candidates, Chu Jiangyue carefully selected 10 people.
Then she sent the list to Chu Jiangyang, so he could send out the acceptance notifications to those selected.
