Chapter 029 - Preparing for the Foreign Food Trade
In winter, the sun sets early and night falls very quickly. After everyone finished dinner, the sky was already dark and deep.
Because in such a base that seems to be extremely strong, the big guys still have a sense of security in their hearts. I walked around the area of the base near the barracks, and took a walk after dinner.
Of course, they are also digesting the words of Ding You, the big boss of the base, before dinner, starting tomorrow, except for children and the elderly who are unable to work, everyone in the base must return to work.
As for what the job is, Ding You didn't say, so everyone was guessing when they were walking.
The condition of the entire base should be said to be very good, and the road is very brightly lit. If Ding You had come here at the first time he had crossed over, he would not have believed that it was the end of the world, but would only have thought that this was a town with a garrison.
"Lao Cheng, have you asked Xiao Ren, is this the house assigned to me? Not for other purposes? Ding You looked at the villa located at the other end of the small lake at the base, hidden in the green trees and red walls, and asked Cheng Hai beside him in disbelief.
"Boss, I asked Miss Xiao Ren, she said that this area is the central management area of the base, two townhouses and an apartment building, all used by the previous base managers, you don't use it, who else will use it?" Cheng Hai replied with a smile.
"Her exact words?"
"Yes, that's what Miss Ren said."
Hey, that little girl, she's so bold! He even dared to give instructions to the owner of his new base.
However, Ding You really likes the house in front of him, it is not as dilapidated as the outside at all, although no one has cleaned it up for a long time, and there are weeds everywhere, but the house is very well furnished, and it is also very beautiful, but there is more dust.
"Boss, the guards have been arranged in the central area, you can rest assured. After a day of tossing today, you must be tired too. ”
Tired, indeed tired.
Even if Cheng Hai didn't say it, Ding You's own body reaction clearly reminded him that today was really a toss.
Seeing that Chen Nuo, Yang Shu and the other two young girls were still hurrying to clean up in the big villa where they lived, Ding You felt that it was too unkind for him to lie down and rest now.
endured the backache and helped to work together, and finally cleaned the villa much faster.
"Brother Xiaoyou, I cleaned a room, do you want to take you to visit?" Xiaoyu didn't know when she ran down from the stairs, ran to Ding You and said happily.
Ding You saw that the tip of his nose was sweating, and he was still holding a rag in his hand, and knew that this little guy must also be helping to clean the room. touched his head and said, "Okay, Xiaoyu, take Brother Xiaoyou to have a look." ”
Xiaoyu dragged Ding You's hand and left, Ding You felt very funny when he saw his little face with an anxious look.
"Brother Xiaoyou, look, is it beautiful?"
There was a room on the second floor, not far from the staircase, and when he pushed the door open and looked inside, Ding You finally knew why Xiaoyu invited him so warmly.
This is a typical children's room that can be distinguished from the eye. Because the wallpaper on the walls, the paintings that hang on it, and even the complete set of furniture, as well as the trinkets placed on the furniture, all show the function of this room.
Very beautiful room, both fashionable and a bit classical, can make Ding You think of the design style of those rooms in his previous life. No wonder Xiaoyu is so happy, it must be that the little guy also takes a fancy to this room.
"Xiaoyu, do you want to live here?" Ding You asked with a smile.
“…… May I? Brother Xiaoyou. Xiaoyu couldn't believe it, and looked at Ding You with puzzled eyes, and her expression was naturally very expectant.
"Of course, there are so many rooms, and this is a children's room, do you still want to let your grandfather's old man live? Ha ha! Ding You pinched his little face and quipped.
"Yay! …… Long live Brother Xiaoyou! Xiaoyou jumped up happily on the spot, and grabbed Ding You's hand while jumping and thanked him repeatedly.
The laughter of the two also attracted Yao Songlin, and he was so happy to see his little grandson, and the tiredness on the old man's face faded away, full of smiles.
Because it's a townhouse, and the middle is still open. So even though it's only two floors, there's a lot of room. As far as Ding You, Yao Songlin and Chen Nuo are concerned, it is not a problem to settle down.
Ding You and Chen Nuo were assigned a suite, with a small study and a separate bathroom. Cheng Hai and Yang Shu, as personal guards, also have special rooms.
After a few people were divided, this townhouse barely took up half of it, and the extra room on the first floor could be used by other guards and housekeeping personnel who specialized in taking care of Ding You's diet and daily life.
As the night deepened, the base became quieter. The occasional sound of unknown animals in the valley was heard, but it was unusually quiet.
Ding You listened to Zhao Gang's report, and the control center on Yan Lao and Xiao Ren's side also had security guards, so he settled down and sat on the sofa and drank hot tea.
Zhao Gang took an electronic map and reported that there was a special passage leading to the central area from the front finger center of the front door of the base, which also meant that Ding You could directly reach the main control room of the front finger center of the base from here in the basement of the villa.
Ding You was curious, ran down to look, and sure enough, he saw that there was a wide and long passage in the basement, and there was no problem with two cars side by side.
One direction leads to the central control room, and the other direction? Don't know where to go.
asked Zhao Gang, who relayed Xiao Ren's words, saying that the passage in the other direction was temporarily impassable, and it was a dead end. Ding You was a little surprised, but he was really tired, and he was not happy to check, so he went upstairs again, and lay on the sofa sleepy.
"Zhao Gang, your patrol team is now temporarily living on the second floor of the front finger center, and the conditions are suitable in the future, your captain can live here, isn't there still a villa and an apartment, the room inside is reserved for you, just pick when the time comes!"
Hearing Ding You say this, Zhao Gang was naturally excited.
Originally, he was still envious that Cheng Hai could accompany his boss to live in the central area of the base, but now Ding You promised that he and other captains could also live in, saying that it was fake if he was not excited.
Now the base is short of manpower, as the captain, of course, you have to live in the command center with the team members, not to mention that the conditions there are not bad. However, it is also an honor to have your own place in the central area, which means to be valued by the boss, and of course happy.
"I've been working hard for you recently, the new base is big, and we are short of manpower, so you can only work hard. It seems that it is still necessary to absorb talents! ”
Ding You yawned, and suddenly remembered that when he was in the car during the day today, Chen Nuo signaled that he had contacted the traffickers.
But I was so busy that I almost forgot about it.
"Xiao Nuo, Lao Cheng, did you go to the ninth district to connect with that Shen and Shen traffickers?" Ding You asked Chen Nuo and Cheng Hai.
Cheng Hai looked at Chen Nuo and didn't answer directly, he could handle this matter clearly, how could he answer in front of Chen Nuo. Seeing that Cheng Hai was silent, Chen Nuo knew that Lao Cheng was deliberately letting himself, so after thinking about it, he still spoke.
"That trafficker's name is Shen Xinghuai, and Captain Cheng and I have already connected with him. As soon as he heard that we were short of people, he was so excited that he almost didn't dance on the spot. ”
Maybe it was that the skinny monkey Shen Xinghuai's performance at that time was really funny, otherwise, Chen Nuo wouldn't have been so funny when he talked about him. Even Yang Shu, who has always been frosty, has a somewhat unnatural expression. Could it be that that kid is too funny, and his painting style can't bear to look at it directly, and even Yang Shu can't hold it back?
"He didn't ask for a price?" Ding You asked curiously.
This time, he looked at Cheng Hai and asked, Cheng Hai had no choice, so after thinking about it, he had to answer: "That's not true, boss, he actually agreed to trade at the price we used to pay when we were in the ninth district." It's just that now ......"
"It's just that now we're at odds with District Nine, and we can't go anymore, right?"
Cheng Hai's meaning Ding You understands, Lao Cheng must have concerns.
Now that they have torn their faces with the ninth district, the price that was negotiated with Shen Xinghuai before must not be counted.
After all, if he wants people now, he needs to take them to dangerous areas and trade in areas that are not protected by District 9. The risk increases, the cost increases, and the natural selling price will also rise.
"Boss, don't say it, that Shen Xinghuai is really interesting, listening to his tone, it seems that he knows that we are going to turn our faces with Pan Wu." Cheng Hai continued.
"Oh? What does this mean and what's going on? Ding You was curious.
"You, when Captain Cheng and I negotiated with him, he actually agreed to our transaction price, saying that if necessary, he could deliver the goods to the door, and the freight would be discounted."
When Chen Nuo said this, his face was still incredible. Not to mention Ding You, after pondering, he said: "Could it be that the kid expected that we were going to fall out with Pan Wu?" ”
"Boss, I thought about it, and I wondered if it was Shen Xinghuai who had his channel and heard that we were trading food with Pan Wu. And if he shows favor like this, will it also be for food? ”
Cheng Hai frowned deeply, and told his understanding.
Ding You thought about it and agreed with Cheng Hai's judgment, and now, thinking about it carefully, there is indeed only one explanation. Shen Xinghuai didn't know where his group would go, and he couldn't imagine anything else except food.
"It's okay, since he wants food, we can trade too, and I was originally going to let go of the food trade. Now we have few people, although there are a lot of crystal cards in our hands now, but with the increase of personnel in the future, they will always be consumed. By setting up an exchange point at the foot of the mountain, we can let others work for us first. ”
Ding You's words made several people present a little confused. In addition to Yao Songlin and Chen Nuo, they vaguely felt that the reason why Ding You valued the crystal card was because the crystal card might be related to the mysterious unknown bracelet he was wearing.
Others can't figure it out, although a large part of the equipment in the base's arsenal has been taken, it is enough for the time being. Now that he is in a hurry to earn a crystal card, Ding You, the boss, is still very anxious.
It seems that calling him boss is really right.
