Chapter Thirty-Seven: Brother Zhai
Li Dedao was taken aback by his appearance, and put on a defensive posture and asked, "What's the ...... Yes...... Any questions?"
The middle-aged man coughed a few times before he eased up, and asked with a displeased face, "Say it again, how much do you want?"
Li Dedao frowned and looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Isn't it just wholesale forty tons of salt, if you think it's too much, then I'll buy less, thirty tons is always okay." β
The man looked at Li Dedao with a serious face: "It's not a matter of lack of salt, let me ask you, does your family run a supermarket?"
Li Dedao shook his head: "No." β
"And what are you buying so much salt for?" the man continued.
"Hey, I didn't break the law by buying your salt, you asked the east and west to check the household registration. Li Dedao said dissatisfied.
The middle-aged man continued with an expressionless face: "If you want me to give you a cheap price, you'd better give a reason, otherwise I won't sell you the salt." β
Li Dedao was angry, and it was the first time he saw such a strange boss, so he said: "If you don't sell it to me, I won't go to other stores to buy it." β
"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "If you're not afraid of trouble, just go." β
"What do you mean by that?" Li Dedao was confused, scratching his head full of doubts, how can I buy salt and still buy a trouble.
"In this wholesale market, only my store can supply the amount you need at one time, and there are cars and people who can guarantee that they will deliver to your home today, if you want to find other homes, you need to find a few more, and there may not be someone to load your car today. β
"That's ......" Li Dedao hesitated when he heard the middle-aged man say this, after all, he had to rush back to the other world tonight to make a deal, and if he couldn't send him back to his home today, it would indeed be a troublesome matter.
Thinking of this, Li Dedao's attitude softened, and he made an expression of being defeated by him and said, "Okay, good, good! I said, but you must make sure that the salt must be delivered to me before dinner today." β
"You can rest assured about this, as long as the road is not far, it is guaranteed to be delivered to you. The middle-aged man patted his chest and said, "Let's talk about why you buy so much salt first." β
Li Dedao glanced around a few times, and then pretended to stretch his head towards the middle-aged man mysteriously, and whispered: "Didn't you see what it said on the news?" The people of their own country have to discharge more than one million tons of nuclear wastewater into the sea, and this nuclear wastewater contains radioactive substances, which will destroy the DNA of cells when eaten into the body, and the first thing they pour into the sea is the coastal areas of our country, which will spread to the Pacific Ocean within 57 days, and spread to the United States in three days, and the entire Pacific Ocean will become a radiation pollution area ten years later. I'm hoarding a little bit of the sea now before it is polluted, and I can eat safe salt in the future, don't you say that's the reason? β
After listening to Li Dedao's words, the middle-aged man slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's the reason! You are almost with me!" After speaking, he shook Li Dedao's hands excitedly and enthusiastically, and sighed while shaking: "I have finally found the same kind! Do you know how lonely I have been all these years? The days when no one understands are too difficult. β
Li Dedao laughed awkwardly a few times, then cautiously pulled his hand out and asked, "Buy some salt, why are you lonely, and what do you mean by the same kind?"
"It's people like you and me who are aware of trouble. The middle-aged man explained: "Tell me, those people who are busy outside, drunk and dreaming of death, why don't they think about it, in case there is a nuclear war in the world, there is a biochemical crisis, there is an artificial intelligence awakening, and there is a mass extinction of species, you talk about how they should survive on this porous earth, and those of us who have a sense of distress have prepared food and materials to deal with various disasters in advance, and we can live better than them after these crises come." β
Li Dedao was stunned, brother, are you a little worried about the crisis too much!
"Shoot!" The middle-aged man's hands slapped on Li Dedao's shoulders, looked at Li Dedao with a serious face and said, "Do you know why I opened this wholesale store?"
Li Dedao shook his head and said he didn't know.
The middle-aged man sighed, his eyes fell into memories, and a trace of tears appeared: "It was in 2003 when SARS spread rapidly in China, I heard that salt can sterilize and disinfect and resist SARS, I believed it, and hoarded 40 tons of salt at once, but it was later confirmed that this grandfather was a rumor, I was afraid that people would make fun of me, so I gritted my teeth!" Opened this otaku daily necessities wholesale center,From the rich second generation who waited for death to eat and eat steadily,Tortured into the second boss of the wholesale supermarket,In order not to let this wholesale supermarket go bankrupt,How much I have suffered over the years,How much tired,Only I know itγ After saying that, Douda's tears flowed.
Li Dedao's mouth opened into an O-shape, and he secretly said in his heart: "No wonder this uncle is so sensitive to the words forty tons of salt, it turns out that he is the god who was used as a joke during SARS!"
"Brother, brother, I didn't control my emotions well, and I made you laugh. The middle-aged man wiped away his tears and sorted out his emotions and said.
Li Dedao hurriedly said: "Where! Where, brother, I understand your feelings. β
"Great!" When the middle-aged man heard this, he became excited again, although there were tears in his eyes, he laughed out loud: "After so many years, someone finally understands me, brother! My name is Zhai Yu, you will call me brother in the future, the house is the house of the otaku, the brother is the brother of the brother, Sisi! Or call you uncle, we will have our own opinions." β
Li Dedao rolled his eyes and wanted to scold, my uncle and sister, my brother is so old.
"By the way, brother, seeing that we have been talking for so long, my brother still doesn't know what your name is. Brother Otaku asked enthusiastically.
"Uh......" Li Dedao thought for a while and said: "My name is Li Dedao, since Brother Zhai you are my brother and I am more than ten years older, then you and I will be your brother Li from now on." β
"Okay! Refreshing!" Brother Zhai punched Li Dedao in the chest and said: "It's all brothers, I will give you a friendly price for salt, my wholesale is 2 yuan and 3 pounds, I will charge you 2 yuan a pound, 40 tons will charge you a total of 160,000 yuan, and I will help you out of labor costs and car fares." β
Li Dedao saw the appearance of Brother Zhai and knew that he should make a lot of money, but now that he had 10 million in his hand, he didn't care about the money, so he clapped his hands and said: "Okay! β
Brother Zhai quickly took out the QR code, and when he saw the payment arrived, his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and yelled at the store: "Zhang Long, Zhao Hu." β
The two light and sturdy young men rushed out with a loud voice, and shouted in unison, "Brother Zhai is here." β
Brother Zhai waved his hand, as chic as Lord Bao throwing a life and death sign: "Forty tons of salt, load the truck, and deliver it to ...... Send it to ......" Speaking of this, he turned his face to Li Dedao and asked, "Brother Li, where are you going?"
"Moon Bay Community, No. 83, Wuxiang Road, Room 701, Unit B, Building 1. Li Dedao reported his door.
Brother Zhai was puzzled when he heard this, touched his head and asked suspiciously: "Brother, this is your house, it's not good to put so much salt in your house, forty tons is not a joke, what if the quality of the building is not good, what if it is crushed." β
Li Dedao was also stunned when he heard this, yes! Why didn't I think of this piece, even if it wasn't bad, the room couldn't be piled up, and the old people in and out of the house to help transport goods would also arouse the suspicion of the neighbors, thinking of this, Li Dedao said to the house brother: "So...... You're familiar with this area, help me see if there's a warehouse nearby that can store items for rent. β
Brother Zhai touched his chin and thought for a while and said: "When it comes to warehouse rental, there is no longer a warehouse nearby, I have a friend in the suburbs, but several warehouses are empty, if you rent it, I can help you ask." β
Li Dedao hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Then it's troublesome Brother Ota." β
Brother Zhai waved his hand at Zhang Long and Zhao Hu and said, "You two will go and arrange the loading first." After the two of them left, they took out their mobile phones and dialed a number.
After the ringtone rang a few times, a tired voice came from the phone: "Is there something wrong with Brother Otaku?"
Brother Zhai smiled and said, "Hu Er, aren't the warehouses in your suburbs still empty, I have a brother who wants to rent them." β
"Don't mention it, I get angry at the mention of the warehouse. Hu Er said resentfully.
"What's wrong?" asked the elder brother in surprise.
"Why were you so stupid when you said I was riding a horse, I obeyed the stinky woman so obedientiously, and changed the ownership of the warehouse to her name, and now the warehouse is not mine, Ma Dan! Even the daughter who was born and raised for six years is not mine, I ride the horse...... I'm on horseback. The sound of Hu Er slapping himself hard came from the phone.
"Hu Er...... You...... You get busy first, I'm ...... It's also a bit of a hang-up beforehand. Brother Zhai didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he had to say a few words and hang up the phone as if fleeing.
Brother Zhai opened a hands-free business, and Li Dedao could hear it clearly, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhai! What do you think about now, is there any other place to stack materials?" β
"There's a place for that...... But ......," Brother Otaku said as he touched his chin and thought about it.
Tonight, he was going to go to another world to make the first transaction, and Li Dedao, who was so anxious, hurriedly said: "Oh! β
"Okay, Brother Li, I don't know if you're interested in building a fortress of doom?"
"What's the stuff in the Doomsday Fortress?" Li Dedao listened to the question mark on his head.
"It can be used as a warehouse, as a refuge, and as a base for storing your own secrets. Brother Zhai said with a glint in his eyes.
"Dad, you're offering treasure again!" Sisi walked over at some point, looked at Brother Zhai and said.
Brother Zhai waved his hand at Sisi dissatisfiedly like chasing flies and said, "What kind of treasure do you offer! What do children know, go and go, stay and play your game." β
Li Dedao was also attracted by what Brother Zhai said, and waved his hand to Sisi and said, "Yes! Adults speak, children don't interject, and stay and play with mud." β
"You ......" Sisi was obviously annoyed by the words of the two, puffed out his cheeks and looked at the two of them and scolded angrily: "The two middle two uncles are hopeless." After saying that, he stomped his feet, lay back on the couch in a huff, and played the game.
After Sisi left, Li Dedao hurriedly asked Brother Zhai: "Quick, tell me about it!" β
