Chapter 315: Amazing Profits
What is most lacking in the 'apocalyptic world'?
Food?
That's right, food is scarce!
Water?
Water is also lacking.
But what is most lacking is not food, nor water, but 'spiritual' enjoyment, whether it is steamed bread, Snickers chocolate, or candy.
The price is so expensive that a high-grade evolution stone is exchanged for a steamed bun, and the things exchanged for it will definitely not fall into the hands of ordinary people.
Anything, steamed buns, Snickers bars, chocolates, canned food, luncheon meat, everything, in terms of hunger, there is not necessarily a piece of ordinary mutant beast meat to satisfy hunger.
But why do the evolutionaries in the apocalyptic world flock to these ordinary things?
To put it bluntly, it's 'spiritual' enjoyment. Enjoy the taste, enjoy the freshness, enjoy the nostalgic taste, to put it bluntly, the food is delicious, it has a taste, it has nothing to do with energy, it has nothing to do with hunger, it is just about enjoying that taste feeling.
In one case, scarcity is expensive!
In a large supermarket in the community, Li Zhi walked directly to the front of the tobacco and alcohol counter.
"Hello, what do I need to buy?" the supermarket waiter asked with a smile as he looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi looked down at the cigarettes in the cabinet, thought about it and asked, "The cheapest cigarettes you have here, how much more is a pack?"
"The cheapest?" The supermarket waiter couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Li Zhi's words, she had heard people say, 'The most expensive cigarette is the kind', and she hadn't seen anyone come over to find the cheapest.
"Yes, the cheapest, don't be afraid of cheap, the cheaper the better!" Li Zhi looked up and smiled at her.
"Oh, this kind, two dollars a pack!" the supermarket waiter pulled out a box of cigarettes from the counter.
"How much is a piece?" asked Li Zhi.
"If you buy it in strips, nineteen yuan!"
"Oh, it's okay, then bring me a hundred first!" Li Zhi nodded, ten boxes of one piece, one hundred and one thousand boxes, the price of 'spiritual food' shouldn't be cheap.
He sells cigarettes, as long as he can smoke, there is 'nicotine', it's good, it's the end of the world, and he's picky about what to rely on, some smoke it's good.
"One hundred?" The supermarket waiter was stunned, looked at Li Zhi and frowned and asked, "This gentleman, are you sure you want a hundred?"
Even if it's nineteen yuan a piece, the price of a hundred pieces is not cheap.
Li Zhi nodded: "Are you sure, aren't there so many?"
really let Li Zhi guess correctly, there are really not so many. The supermarket attendant asked about your warehouse, and there were only fifty pieces in total, and the inventory of one piece was less than 100.
"It's okay to have a similar price, anyway, you can get me a hundred!" Li Zhi said with a smile.
In fact, a box of cigarettes for two yuan is not worth mentioning compared to the profits of tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions.
But the feeling of refreshment in my heart is different.
"By the way, you have that kind of small bottle of Erguotou here, right?" Li Zhi turned his gaze to the wine again.
The supermarket waiter took a bottle, put it on the counter and said, "Is it this kind of 100ML bottle?"
"yes, an extra bottle?"
"Two dollars!"
Li Zhi's eyes rolled and asked with a smile: "If you buy it in large quantities, will the price be cheaper?"
"How much do you want to buy?" asked the supermarket waiter with a wry smile.
"A thousand bottles!"
The supermarket waiter shook his head and said, "No, if you buy 10,000 bottles, I'll ask the manager, maybe it's cheaper!"
In fact, she just said that, and she didn't believe that Li Zhi would really buy 10,000 bottles of this small-capacity two-pot head, what is the use of buying it back, retail? 20,000 bottles, it is estimated that it may not be sold out in 50 years.
"Okay, then you can ask your manager for instructions and see how much cheaper it can be for 10,000 bottles!" Li Zhi smiled and nodded in agreement.
In the end, Li Zhi bought a full 20,000 bottles of 61 bottles.
But the supermarket is responsible for transporting things to Li Zhi to the warehouse.
More than 2,000 bottles, the wholesale price of the distillery is about 8 cents to a piece, so the supermarket must have made a profit, and it is normal to give it away.
In addition to these cheap cigarettes and alcohol, Li Zhi also bought two boxes of Zhonghua, a few boxes of Moutai, and Wuliangye, which are not taken out, but kept for himself and entertaining guests.
"Boss!"
Not long after Shi Sha returned, the sun had already set, and it was about to get dark. I didn't expect Li Zhi to come back at this time.
"Good evening, haha, did you miss me?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.
"Think!" Shi Sha also gradually figured out Li Zhi's temper, smiled and said: "If you don't see each other for a day, you want to die!"
"Really, what are you doing?" Li Zhi asked curiously, looking at what Shi Sha was carrying.
Shi Sha put the electronic box in his hand on the ground, and said with a smile: "I went out to change something, I heard that this thing was removed from the core building in the city center, and the Science and Technology Alliance is buying this thing at a high price, I don't know what the use is, but what can be purchased by the Science and Technology Alliance at a high price should have some value, so I bought it in advance, and spent twenty Snickers bars, plus thirty pieces of candy, it's not cheap!"
The box for the electronic metal is not very large, eighty centimeters high, sixty centimeters long, thirty centimeters thick, silver metal, well sealed, with interfaces.
What it is, you can't tell it from the outside alone.
"What was the core building of the city center used to do?" asked Li Zhi.
"In charge of the city's intelligent control system, it seems that in the past, in the city, all the traffic, traffic lights, city cameras, drainage facilities, power supply facilities, and other public facilities are in charge of the city's core buildings, and what other specific uses there are, I don't know, before the end of the world, I was only fifteen years old, and I didn't pay attention to these things!" Shi Sha thought for a while and said.
Li Zhi took the electronic metal box from Shi Sha's hand, and asked curiously: "Then how does the Science and Technology Alliance know that someone brought it out from the core building in the center of the city?"
Shi Sha was stunned, frowned, and said, "Maybe someone spread the news to the gathering place in the north of the city!"
"Science and Technology Alliance?" Li Zhi repeated the four words again, the last time Shi Sha mentioned the Science and Technology Alliance, there was obviously hatred in his eyes, so he knew that there was a festival between the other party and the Science and Technology Alliance.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that for now. Li Zhi took the electronic metal box in his hand and asked, "Are you useful for this thing?"
"It's useless!" Shi Sha shook her head decisively and said calmly: "I think the boss is useful, so I exchanged it at a high price." ”
Li Zhi smiled, and did not debunk her lies, what did he think he was useful, so he exchanged it at a high price, I am afraid that he wanted to block the science and technology alliance, so he deliberately exchanged it at a high price.
Looking at Li Zhi's smile, Shi Sha's face turned red, but she didn't defend anything.
"Yes, if there is such a thing in the future, especially the high-priced things of the 'Science and Technology Alliance', you can grab it at a higher price, anyway, we are not bad for money!" Li Zhi finished with a smile, and changed the topic and asked: "In the past two days, have there been any fresh mutant beasts?"
When Li Zhi left, he had already asked Shi Sha to exchange for mutant beast meat.
In other words, there has already begun to be a team of evolutionaries trading with Shi Sha, whether it is high-level mutant beast meat or ordinary mutant beast meat, Shi Sha has begun to buy it in batches.
Say whatever you want to change yourself, water, food, no problem.
"Because the news hasn't spread yet, but I have also changed a lot, nearly ten high-level mutant beasts, and hundreds of ordinary mutant beasts, but they have all been packaged by me with a compression and sealing machine. Now the meat of high-grade mutant beasts is about 5,000 catties of roasted meat and about 20,000 catties of raw meat.
Ordinary mutant beast meat is about 100,000 catties. It's about a few hundred pounds cooked!" Shi Sha said.
Roasting ordinary mutant beast meat in the oven and roasting high-level mutant beast meat both took the same effort, Shi Sha only roasted the meat of high-level mutant beasts, and ordinary mutant beasts didn't bother to do that.
Directly dismantled the meat, a piece of 100 kilograms, and compressed.
"It's okay!" Li Zhi nodded and said, "In two days, it will be the time of the trading conference, is this little thing we have prepared enough?"
Shi Sha thought for a while and said, "It should be no problem, there are so many things." ”
"In the future, when we buy mutant beast meat in batches, we will use mutant beast meat to settle the settlement, and we have to find a way to circulate the compressed and packaged meat coins and water coins. Li Zhidao.
"Yes, I know!"
But an opportunity is needed for evolutionaries to recognize the convenience and importance of meat and water coins. After the mutant beast meat is air-dried or smoked, it can also be stored for a relatively long time, but there is absolutely no compressed and sealed meat coin, which is easy to carry.
It is also more troublesome to air dry the meat.
"By the way, I brought a lot of cigarettes and alcohol this time, do you think there is a market in the apocalyptic world?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.
Shi Sha's eyes lit up, and she nodded and said, "Yes, of course there is, do you know how high the price of a bottle of Coke is now? A bottle of high-grade evolution stone may not be able to be bought, let alone tobacco and alcohol." ”
"Boss, how much tobacco and alcohol did you bring this time?"
Li Zhi smiled and gestured, and said, "20,000 bottles of two pots, 100 cigarettes!"
Grunt!
Shi Sha swallowed her saliva and calculated: "If you exchange these cigarettes and alcohol for mutant beast meat, you can probably exchange it for one million kilograms of high-grade mutant beast meat, plus ten million kilograms of ordinary mutant beast meat!"
"So much!" Li Zhi was also surprised, these wines and cigarettes were not valuable, but millions of kilograms of high-grade mutant beast meat, that would be amazing.
The official purchase price of the Interstellar Business Alliance is 300,000 US dollars per kilogram, and the value of one million kilograms of mutant beast meat is about 300 billion US dollars.
Boy!
If you get it right, the speed of money in the apocalyptic world is not slower than that of the 'Sea Star'.
There is a lot to be done, there is a lot to be done!
"A large number of mutant beast corpses, whether it is an ordinary mutant beast or a high-level mutant beast, we want them all!" Li Zhi exclaimed excitedly.
For evolutionaries, the corpses of mutant beasts are not easy to store, and even if they are purchased in the northern part of the city, the price is not too high.
If you leave it for a week at most, it will spoil, and even if you don't sell it, you have to throw it away, and you can't eat it if it stinks.
But in Li Zhi's place, there is no need to worry about that, as long as it is encapsulated, it can be stored for three hundred years. The only thing that's a bit of a hassle is that it breaks down.
Encapsulated meat, 10 kg of roast meat for 100 kg of raw meat.
This is the exchange price of high-grade evolved meat, ordinary mutant beast meat, ten kilograms of roast meat for three hundred kilograms of raw meat.
This is where the value of the compressed and encapsulated meat coin lies.
This exchange rate alone can make Li Zhi earn a lot of money, the key is that except for Li Zhi, who has a compression and sealing machine here, there is no other place at all!
"By the way, the boss has a very serious problem!" Shi Sha suddenly thought of something, her face changed, and she said in a deep voice.
"What's the problem?" Li Zhi asked as he came back from his excitement and looked at her suspiciously.
"Our safe zone is not 100% safe!" Shi Sha said solemnly.
'Safe Zone' is the name given by Li Zhi, and in the area of the Five Elements Bagua Electronic Defense Array and the A8 Small Energy Shield, it is called the 'Absolute Safe Zone'.
"Isn't it 100% safe?" Li Zhi was stunned, looked at her and frowned, and said, "What else is not safe?"
Not to mention ordinary mutant beasts, even king-level mutant beasts, they may not be able to attack them, and now the TV tower building, isn't it safe?
"Boss, you only defended the ground, the sky, but ...... What about underground, what if a mutant beast attacks from underground?" Shi Sha asked.
Ground floor?
Li Zhi frowned, that's right, the ground and the sky have been defended, but now the dead hole of the 'safe zone' is underground, whether it is a protective shield or the Five Elements Bagua Electronic Defense Array, it will not target the underground creatures!
Some mutant beasts are born with an instinct, that is...... Drill into the ground!
