Chapter 399 [Trading Market]
The trading market of the Black Iron Castle can be said to be the largest Wang Haoyu has ever seen, just from the outside, it is bigger than those large wholesale markets in the real world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is also unavoidable, in order to facilitate centralized management, the number of trading markets in the Black Iron Castle is limited.
In this way, the market is relatively simple. People need to come here if they want to trade. As a result, a pattern of concentrated consumption has been created. At the same time, there must be a large enough market to be able to meet demand.
Like Wolfsburg's free market, you are not allowed to drive in. At the entrance of the market, there is a huge parking lot.
If you can't drive in, and if you want to buy some large items or more items, you need to rent a delivery vehicle provided in the market. And those vehicles are controlled by the guards of the Black Iron Fortress, which can be regarded as increasing the income of the base at the same time, giving those guards some oil and water, making them work harder.
Wang Haoyu observed that countless vehicles of various types were parked in the parking lot. At this time, it was morning, and so many cars came so early, it was enough to see the popularity of the trading market.
Unlike Wolfsburg's free market, the entrance fee here is only 1 magic crystal. In Wang Haoyu's opinion, this is simply too cheap.
But if you calculate it this way, the income of the trading market in a day is not small.
Coming to the door of the trading market, Wang Haoyu noticed that from time to time, buses came to a parking lot not far from the door and stopped. The buses had the same pattern on the body, and after they stopped, many people stepped out of the buses.
Those people were old and young, some in groups of three or five, and some were obviously alone.
Shopping shuttle!
Seeing those buses, such a term popped up in Wang Haoyu's mind.
Some large supermarkets and malls in the real world will have shopping shuttles. These buses generally have some routes and many stops. There are people waiting for those who want to go to the supermarkets and malls to shop.
At the appointed time, those shopping shuttles will take people to the designated location, and all for free.
At this time, this kind of shopping shuttle also appeared in the Black Iron Castle, which Wang Haoyu did not expect. I didn't expect that after so much time, the end times would have recovered to such a point.
Ignoring the shopping shuttles, Wang Haoyu walked towards the trading market.
In the whole trading market, there are containers similar to simple houses. Each container is a stall, and these containers are neatly arranged in the market.
In addition to the container, every few rows of containers, there is a row of small houses that are four or five times larger than the container. Like the shipping containers, the houses are lined up in neat rows.
As soon as he saw this scale, Wang Haoyu knew that those containers and houses were rented out.
It's the same as the market next to the supermarket in Wang Haoyu's base, except that it has been changed to such a container.
If people want to sell their goods here, they need to rent a container from the market. Of course, this refers to the case of a long-term sale.
The market does not prohibit people from selling their belongings freely, and people can also sell their belongings when they come here. It's just that if you want to do this kind of business for a long time, you need to rent a container or a house here.
Needless to say, the price of those houses is definitely higher than that of a shipping container. Judging by the size, the average person will know it.
The whole market is divided into two parts according to the signs, which are the sales area and the purchase area.
Literally, people in the sales area can buy what they want here. And the acquisition zone, as the name suggests, is to buy the items that people bring with them.
Each large area is divided into several small areas, namely food, weapons, and miscellaneous.
In this way, people come to the market for whatever purpose, go directly to the corresponding area.
This is distributed in order to improve efficiency. Otherwise, the market is so big that you can't go a day.
At present, the second post-apocalyptic paradise breakfast shop is preparing for renovation, and there is nothing to do in the real world, Wang Haoyu is ready to take a look at this trading market.
There are a lot of people in the market, and the free trading market in Wolfsburg is not at the same level at all. It's not as crowded, but it's a bit like a real-world bazaar.
People walked towards the area they wanted to go to, and it seemed that they didn't want to be like Wang Haoyu, who came to this trading market for the first time.
Wang Haoyu looked at the containers, and there was a sign written on each container.
【No. 36, Food Zone D】
【No. 35, Food Zone D】
……
On the top of each container, there is one such number plate.
This has the advantage of having a traceability of the items purchased.
If you buy something fake here or are not satisfied, you can come back to the merchant.
It's just that this is not very binding, the container is rented out, and the price per month is not too expensive. And if you sell fakes here, even if the rent is gone, people will run away.
The reason why it is set up like this is that Wang Haoyu knows that this 80% is to overcharge and at the same time, it can make people feel more at ease.
The area next to the gate of the market is the food section, where videos and weapons are the most important supplies in the post-apocalyptic world. The food section was placed closest to the gate to make it easier for people to buy.
Standing at the head of a row of containers, Wang Haoyu saw a lot of people coming and going in various containers.
These people have probably lived here for a long time, and like people in the real world who buy groceries, they all have their own preferences and like to buy things from familiar people.
But many times they don't know, and the more familiar people are, the easier it is to be fooled.
Like the restaurant where Wang Haoyu worked before, many of the students are regular customers. The students thought they were going to eat in a restaurant often, and the boss gave them a discount and gave them another dish. They feel that they have a lot of face, and at the same time, they can also have a little discount.
But what they don't know is that restaurant owners often target such "regular customers" and specifically ask the chef to pick out some leftover ingredients to cook.
In this way, even if something is eaten, the old customers will take care of their face, and the boss apologizes, and the matter is over, after all, they feel very familiar.
This is not an exception, Wang Haoyu knows that there are many people who do business like this. The more familiar the guest feels, the more he can't put it down. In this case, those old customers can only secretly suffer losses and can't say anything.
However, these had nothing to do with Wang Haoyu, and at this time he walked towards the first container.
