Chapter 283: The Star Ring Trading Company
Koro Island is located at the southernmost tip of the Panu Islands and is the main island. To the northwest is the Philippines, to the southwest is New Guinea and Australia, and due south is New Zealand.
It is home to the country's only airport. At the southernmost tip of the island sits the country's only deep-water port, built by Johnny International at a cost of millions of dollars.
Typically, such large deep-water ports are surrounded by manufacturing plants. However, for the Panu Islands, whose economy is based on fishing and farming, this common sense clearly does not apply.
Next to this deep-water port, there are three warehouses standing alone.
A brown-skinned local was crouching on the edge of the outermost warehouse with a sugar cane in his mouth, looking at the door.
His name was Kasan and he was an indigenous person of the Panu Islands. Although his education is not high, he will still do the job of janitor. Every day, his job is to squat at the door of the warehouse and watch the phone, occasionally take a hand when he needs to unload the goods, and nibble on sugar cane when he is idle and bored.
Seeing the five Santanas driving to the door and stopping, the young man glanced at him with envy, and immediately threw away the sugar cane in his hand and went up.
"Transwarp Trading, that's my company here. After getting out of the car, Jiang Chen introduced to Ivan with a smile.
Although now it is just a shell company with only one doorman and the business is fully managed.
"Star Ring? Looking at the big words on the big warehouse, Ivan asked casually.
During the chat, the doorkeeper Kasang had already walked up to the two of them and said to Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Hey, boss, what's the wind blowing you in?"
Jiang Chen arrived at the Panu Islands two days ago, but he had been busy with other things, so he hadn't come to the warehouse to see it. Seeing the boss come in person, this Kasan was also very surprised.
"Nothing. Just open the door to the warehouse for me. ”
"Which warehouse?"
"Warehouse 3. ”
"Yes, yes!" Cassan nodded in response, quickly pulling out the key and running over to remove the iron door.
After sending Kasan to stay outside the door, Jiang Chen beckoned Ivan and the others into the warehouse and walked to a container in the corner.
Pull the box open. Inside is a row of automatic rifles.
It's not the Ripper rifles that Jiang Chen brought back from the end times, these are all M-series assault rifles that are very common in the arms market, and they are all civilian models.
"Mission?" said Ivan solemnly.
Hearing this, the fourteen people behind him also stood in a row, waiting for Jiang Chen's instructions.
"Don't be nervous, there's still some time before the main event begins, and the next task is just a warm-up. Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling that they didn't need to be nervous.
Clearing his throat, Jiang Chen pointed to the weapon in the box and continued.
"Considering the gradual deterioration of the situation in Panu. During this time, the security of this warehouse will be handed over to you. There are 15 gun licenses in the box, which I applied for from the Panu authorities through a special channel, and you can use them by writing your name. For attempted break-ins into warehouses, the first warning shot is fired, and the second is authorized to shoot. ”
Although the Liberal Party said that it would try to avoid crossfire near Jiangchen property during the uprising, there was no guarantee that there would be no mob of looting trying to break into the warehouse to collect oil and water.
"Yes!" said Ivan, sonorously and forcefully.
He had no objection to Jiang Chen's order. The same was true of the warriors standing behind him.
Nodding his head at the old soldier's momentum. Jiang Chen was very satisfied.
"There are materials for building barracks in the warehouse. In short, the security here is up to you. ”
"Wrapped around us. Ivan grinned.
With that, he turned cleanly, looked at his brethren, and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Do you understand the mission?"
"Understood!" replied in fourteen tones, exploding like thunder.
"Get to work!"
"Yes, sir!"
I saw Jiang Chen coming out of the warehouse. Cassan paced timidly.
"Boss, who are they?"
He naturally heard all the voices in the warehouse just now.
"The security guard I hired, you don't need to care, what you should do in normal times. Don't probe your brain, don't talk too much. You just need to keep these two things in mind. Jiang Chen said casually.
Swallowing and foaming, Kasan nodded desperately and answered with difficulty.
"Hmm. ”
He just wanted to find a place to hang out, but he didn't want to get into trouble. Just squatting at the door and munching on sugar cane in a daze every day to receive a $10 salary is like a dream.
Knowing that this young man would not ask for trouble, Jiang Chen didn't talk much nonsense on the issue of confidentiality.
"Give me the spare key to the warehouse. ”
Kasan hurriedly took off a string of keys pinned to his waist, and then handed them to Jiang Chen.
"You can leave work early today. Taking the key, Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder twice and said.
"Yes. Nodding his head in reply, Kasan didn't ask anything, picked up the unfinished sugar cane from the door and went home.
Watching that Kasan walk away, Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards Warehouse No. 1.
Unlocking the door, pulling the iron plates apart, and looking at the goods in the warehouse, a smile appeared on his face.
The entire 500-square-meter space was a little crowded with all kinds of boxes.
There are dairy products imported from Australian farms, vacuum-packed bacon, and all kinds of processed canned food shipped from Hing Leong Food Processing Factory. Fresh meats such as pork, beef and mutton filled ten large freezers, and piles of rice were packed in sacks to form a small mountain.
"Good fellow, judging from the average stacking height of two or three meters, this batch of grain must be at least a thousand tons. Looking at the mountains of grain, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be secretly speechless.
At one pound of grain per person per day, 1,000 tons of grain can feed 666,600 people for a month. The population of the sixth block did not exceed 50,000 at its peak, and the number of people in the fish bone base was even less, and even if some people were recruited recently, there were only more than 1,000 people.
Not to mention that the daily consumption for most of the year has been solved, it is the problem of trade, and this batch of grain is more than enough.
It's also a shame that Jiang Chen is going abroad now, and if this batch of grain disappears in China, it will definitely be a problem.
Without starting the handling work immediately, Jiang Chen went out and opened the No. 2 warehouse.
Warehouse 2 contains salt that is also scarce in the wasteland.
The salt in the wasteland of Wanghai City is mainly produced by several coastal survivor bases such as Liuding Town, but the production is not high. Due to the production conditions, the quality of the salt is not very high. Hoarding salt at home is a crime, but it is not a problem in the volatile Panu Islands.
In addition to crates of salt, hundreds of beers, subtropical fruits and dried fish from the region are stacked here.
These materials are specially customized "three-no products", and no packaging is printed on the surface.
In other countries, such products may be difficult to pass customs, but in Panu there is not so much trouble. Jiang Chen casually stuffed a few hundred dollars into the customs, and solved this problem that was not a problem.
After the quantity of materials is confirmed, the next step is to continue to move back and forth.
Looking at the piles of supplies, Jiang Chen suddenly showed a wry smile.
"Damn, so much, when do you have to move. (To be continued......)
