Chapter 23 Selling Salt
What bothers Zhou Yuanqiang is now money or money. The rental house in the center town of the end times needs to pour enough food, the upgrade ring needs to be crystallized until the end of the world, and the modern opening of a company and so on all require money. Sometimes Zhou Yuanqiang is still sarcastic, others have this ability to cross, and they will become nouveau riche in a few days, where is it like himself, and now he hasn't even made a dime, but has posted thousands of yuan to buy food.
As soon as the cooldown time arrived, Zhou Yuanqiang was teleported to the end of the world. Appearing in a rental house in the last days, there are no accidents. In an hour, not much has changed in the old residential area, except that there are more corpse hunters who hunt and return.
After several hours of construction, the new camp was also completed when Zhou Yuanqiang arrived. It doesn't change much, it's just that the respective tents are cobbled together and grouped in the middle of a few trees. It may be that Xu Yuhai, who is well aware of the poor shooting ability, and was appointed as the deputy captain by Zhou Yuanqiang, is training Xu Dali and the eight of them.
Seeing Zhou Yuanqiang coming, Xu Yuhai and the others all laughed. Zhou Yuanqiang said: "Continue training. ”
Outside the tent, Chen Wenbo and his team had already set up solar panels, and at noon, when the sun was at its strongest, the electricity was also the most stable, barely able to support the operation of two laptops. Chen Wenbo and the others are seizing this time, sweating like rain and working hard in the tent.
The water used in the settlement is all deep groundwater, and the entire drinking water system contains five deep wells, all of which were excavated under the direction of the Authority. The new small camp, far from the deep wells, made it extremely difficult to get water, and there was a constant stream of people queuing for water on such hot days. Chen Wenbo's pitiful little water reserve had already drunk a fine drink, and he was naked, enduring the feeling of dryness at this time.
Compared with the greenery in the town, the refugee camp outside can only be described as turkeys roasted on the fire, bare branches, and eaten leaves, without a trace of cooling. In combination with the barren sand, the heat is suffocating.
Facing the blazing heat in the tent like a fire, Zhou Yuanqiang handed the USB flash drive to Chen Wenbo and said: "There are also five programs that need to be completed in it, you put down the work in your hand first and finish these five programs." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be full of resentment, "Didn't this person destroy the city wall by himself?" Even the leaves are eaten lightly, and there is not even a place for shade. If there's a big drought......"
Chen Wenbo smiled bitterly, took the USB flash drive, and said: "Boss, everyone was short of food at that time, although the leaves were not delicious, they could make people live for a few more days." You don't know what it was like, people dying of starvation were everywhere. This place can hide from zombies, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, it is barren, and if you want to find something to satisfy your hunger, you really have no other choice than eating grass. ”
The five small programs in the USB flash drive are also very simple, Chen Wenbo shook his head and shouted: "Xiao Cheng, you can write this small application, and I will solve the other four." ”
Xiao Cheng, who was also wearing glasses and was in his thirties, smiled at Zhou Yuanqiang, called the boss, and looked at the description of the small application that Chen Wenbo said, and did not show a disdainful expression, and said, "Brother Chen, it will be done in fifteen minutes." With that, I went back to my laptop and started writing.
Seeing them start working, Zhou Yuanqiang didn't bother, and after explaining some precautions, he returned to the central town.
Zhou Yuanqiang brought a large amount of salt this time, just to take the opportunity to see if he could sell it. In this kind of wasteland, salt is a sought-after commodity, and there may be no one in the refugee camp who can afford it, but there are many rich people in the town, and it shouldn't be a problem to sell a small bag of salt for a grade 2 blue crystal. The salt he brought with him was filled with more than 500 bags, which was enough to earn enough crystals to upgrade rings and buy more weapons.
Salt is in this area where salt is not produced, but it is scarce, and Zhou Yuanqiang does not dare to sell it blatantly.
Entering the central town, Zhou Yuanqiang originally wanted to sell bags by bag, but when he found this practice, he sold more than 500 bags of salt, and he didn't know when. And this kind of peddling method is extremely unsafe, a few may not have anything, but with the increase in the number of peddlings, it is inevitable that the news will spread, and when the time comes, people will check and not point the source to themselves?
Zhou Yuanqiang thought about it for a while, who is not a bit powerful among the people who own a store in this central town? Like in the central town, I don't know how many teams there are, and there are strengths and weaknesses. Judging from the news obtained by Zhou Yuanqiang in the past few days, the strongest team should have an armed force of hundreds of people, but the weakest team is only a small team of three or four people.
The central town, the most lively, of course, is the central square, surrounded by shops, and the flow of people, almost all of the teams returning triumphantly will appear here, exchanging food and ammunition, and buying all kinds of items they need.
If you want to make a large transaction, it is of course inappropriate to pack a small package like yourself. So Zhou Yuanqiang bought a few large wooden energy for water in the market, returned to the rental house, and poured the salt into these large wooden barrels. It took more than an hour to finish all this work.
After shopping for more than half an hour, Zhou Yuanqiang finally locked his eyes on a general store. This store is not big, the size of the store is only more than 40 square meters, compared to other hundreds of square meters of shops, it is very inconspicuous around the central square. Zhou Yuanqiang inquired, the force behind this general store is a team of more than 60 people, which is used to sell all kinds of items they hunt, such as electrical appliances, rare items and so on.
There were not many customers in the store, Zhou Yuanqiang walked in and took a few looks, there were a lot of things in it, most of them were daily necessities snatched back from the city.
Seeing someone coming to the door, one of the two waitresses working in the store greeted him and said enthusiastically, "Hello sir, do you need anything?" "The other party's posture is still eye-catching, and the wearing may be the reason why the conditions of the last days are not enough, some are ordinary, and there is no makeup, and it is impossible to have hand accessories.
Zhou Yuanqiang is not a junior brother, he fell in love once in college, and he didn't break up until he graduated and worked for a year. The material society is cruel, and Zhou Yuanqiang lost his love in this powerful money world. He smiled and said, "Is your boss here?" There's a big deal to talk to him about. ”
The other party can't do this kind of thing, so he politely said, "Okay, please wait, I'll inform the shopkeeper." ”
The back of the store should be the owner's office, Zhou Yuanqiang just stood for a while, and a slightly obese middle-aged man walked out with the waitress, glanced at Zhou Yuanqiang a few times, and immediately said enthusiastically: "In Xia Wang Lifu, I heard that you came to me to talk about a big deal?" Don't know what sir needs? As long as the gentleman needs it, we will try to do it for you. ”
Zhou Yuanqiang did not directly say his intentions, but said in a low voice: "Let's talk inside." ”
The other party's eyes lit up, nodded, led Zhou Yuanqiang into the back office, asked Zhou Yuanqiang to sit down, helped pour a glass of water, and finally sat comfortably on his boss's chair, and said: "Since Mr. found us in the store, he must know our strength, and there is nothing we can't do." ”
Zhou Yuanqiang was also a little thirsty, drank all this glass of water, took out a small bag of salt from his pocket, put it on the other party's desk, and said, "I don't know if you want this kind of thing?" ”
After confirming that it was table salt, he put a little stick in his hand and put it in his mouth to taste it, his eyes opened, stared at Zhou Yuanqiang, and said: "Brother, I don't know how much of this salt, how many of them do you have?" There is a reason why Wang Lifu is so excited, his team also saw the profiteering nature of salt, and broke into the city several times, just to grab some salt and come back, but the loss was very large, but the harvest was not very ideal, it can be said that it is not a loss.
Zhou Yuanqiang had already found out the price of salt in the wasteland settlement, and said: "The quantity is not very large, only about 100 catties, and the market price is 5 grade 2 blue crystals per catty, if you are willing to pay the price of 3 grade 2 blue crystals per catty, this batch of salt is yours?" ”
Zhou Yuanqiang is also helpless, when it comes to bargaining, he is definitely not the opponent of this shrewd Wang Lifu, and he is also quick to cut through the mess and shoot as soon as possible.
Of course, the shrewd Wang Lifu knows the profits, and salt is not only a matter of making money, but also improving the competitiveness of his store here, of course, he immediately agreed. As the owner of the entire store, his status in the team is not low, and he is still capable of mobilizing 300 level 2 crystals like this.
It took half an hour to transport the salt from the rental house to the store, and after successfully trading, Zhou Yuanqiang breathed a sigh of relief after getting the level 3 green crystals that were converted back to 30.
