448 Redeemer Base
"Hey, it's pretty much the same! Of course you don't know, but as long as you have a pass, no one will dare to withhold your goods. You know, the passes issued by the ascetic societies are very difficult to obtain, and these people who open shops cannot get them even by bribery. In the future, you can rely on it to bring goods to others, goods that do not need to pay taxes, and then make a lot of money! ”
Of course, Zhang Pinggui didn't know Hong Tao's thoughts, but he just felt that this herdsman was too wooden and didn't even see such a big benefit, and holding the pass was simply a tyrannical thing. As a partner, you must explain the mystery clearly, which is both a responsibility and an obligation.
"Kuitun, no tax!" It was the first time that Hong Tao had heard that there was still a need to pay taxes for buying and selling goods in a homeless area, and when he pretended to be a gold prospector in Kuitun, he had been exploited and deducted by sentries and gangsters, but he had never paid taxes.
"One-tenth of the price of the goods, a small vendor like me has to pay a fixed fee every month, and the amount of the payment is up to the tax officer. You don't have to worry about this, the mutton is purchased by the ascetic society, it is not sold in the market, and it will not be taxed. But you can use the pass to help other merchants bring goods, as long as there are not too many people will check carefully, and there will be no tax. You have to know that some goods are small in size but have a high value, and they are easy to carry in the lamb. ”
Zhang Pinggui is worthy of being a businessman, even if he just sets up a small tea stall, he still maintains a keen sense of smell unique to a businessman. Within a few days of coming, I made the market research and rules clear, and found a shortcut to eat night grass.
"I don't know them!" Hong Tao wanted to laugh very much, laughing at himself for getting worse and worse.
The president of the Asian region of the dignified survivors alliance actually wants to be a smuggler and help others evade taxes with goods. But it's more fun, he likes to exploit the loopholes of the rules very much, and he is also very used to doing things that are not a few things that are not pulled.
Isn't it a bit of a split personality? That's right, he has this personality trend, and every time he stands in a different position, he will show a completely different personality.
When he is in the position of the person in power, such as the rescue team and the revival alliance, he will desperately improve the rules, trying to plug all the loopholes, and then gritting his teeth and cursing the eight generations of ancestors who exploited the loopholes.
And when he becomes a grassroots, such as now, how do you look at the rules and how unpleasant, and he has the urge to take the initiative to destroy without being bewitched by others, and he is very addicted.
"Hey, I know. You are a herdsman and can herd sheep. I'm a businessman, and I know a lot of people who sell goods. You and me...... Join forces to make big money! Zhang Pinggui said in his heart, if you know me, there will be my. But the smile on his face is still sincere and honest, and what he says is extremely pleasant.
"Twenty percent?" Hong Tao did not have the slightest contempt for this kind of person, but was very envious. This kind of person is needed in the market, they are like lubricants, they put together all the parts that were originally dry, and then run smoothly.
"Uh...... The mutton is 20%, and the price of the goods needs to be negotiated face-to-face...... You don't have to go, I'll talk to them, and if you agree to get half of the money first, and bring the remaining half to pay, how about it? As soon as he heard the question of separation, Zhang Pinggui immediately became less honest.
"Herdsman, talk counts!"
Hong Tao understands everything, this guy hasn't held back any good farts since he said that he was going to sell mutton here. He didn't expect Guang to share the mutton commission with him at all, but had already planned how to use the pass to make money.
It sounds good, negotiate the price and pay half of the price first, and then pay the other half when the goods arrive. In fact, the price he negotiated with the merchants who needed to bring the goods must be more than this amount, and he invisibly picked up a layer of skin on himself, and he didn't have to be affected or take risks.
In addition, with his previous extreme distrust of strangers, he didn't have to worry about revealing his stuff, let alone other businessmen who didn't have to contact him directly through him in private.
"Let's go, don't eat cookies, I invite you to eat something good, and meet someone by the way. In the future, you can go to his store to buy anything you need, he and I are friends, and we also talk and count! ”
Regarding the fact that he could only get a few words in exchange for Hong Tao for a long time, Zhang Pinggui was familiar with it, but he couldn't get used to it. Seeing that Hong Tao was still holding half a compressed biscuit in his hand, as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but pull Hong Tao to get up and leave.
"Horse, horse......" Hong Tao is convinced, this guy not only wants to control his own money channels to make profits, but also contract his own money channels, and then make a profit from it.
"It's tied here, you won't lose ......" Zhang Pinggui still didn't let go, pulled Hong Tao and turned around and entered the store next to him. The person he wanted to introduce was the owner of the shop, a dark, thin middle-aged man with a Uighur hat, named Iszawi.
As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are divided by groups. Although Zhang Pinggui and Iszawi have different nationalities, different experiences, and different living environments, they are both full of heartfelt enthusiasm and hard work in making money. A penny is not too little, a dollar is not too much, as long as there is hope, it is never too troublesome.
Just introduced each other to each other, Iszawi sold the goods in his store with him, and the level of patience was not very embarrassing to say Hong Tao. So the 20 yuan he just got in his hand was 10 yuan less in a blink of an eye, and it became his business money.
However, Hong Tao did not lose money, he found two very old power batteries in Iszawe's store, even if the price of 5 yuan a piece is not cheaper than Kuitun, but after taking out the internal resistance tester, it was found that their charging internal resistance is relatively low.
This time, the two profiteers were overshadowed by Hong Tao, they didn't know the internal resistance tester, and they didn't know what it meant to stuff the battery there, thinking that they wanted to know if the battery had electricity and whether it could be used.
It has been 10 years since the outbreak of zombie disease, and many industries have not recovered, but there are fewer and fewer products that can be used in the old world, among which batteries are one, especially batteries that can be charged and discharged repeatedly.
As far as Hong Tao is concerned, when he goes out, he needs to use his mobile phone to navigate offline maps, use night vision devices, body radar and Geiger counters, and also use flashlights and some power tools, all of which require power batteries.
When he returned to the lakeside hut, whether it was wind power or solar panels, he also needed a relatively large capacity lead-acid battery, and the remaining oil had to wait until the critical moment to use.
If this trend continues, in a few years, I am afraid that even small batteries that can be used will not be found, and all kinds of portable electronic devices will be completely finished. The large lead-acid battery can continue to be used, after all, it is much easier to produce electrolyte than battery cells.
What Zhang Pinggui said was delicious was actually all kinds of game. The displaced people do not enjoy the agricultural products of the base, but they can also farm their own land, raise livestock, or go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, wild vegetables, and hunt. It can only be said that the food is not enough overall, but there is no shortage of variety, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still eat stir-fried vegetables.
There is a restaurant on this street that specializes in stir-fried vegetables, and it is the only one and only one. According to Iszawi, the restaurant was actually run by an official at the base, but with a homeless person as its manager.
The consumers are not ordinary homeless, but the relatively wealthy people within the base. They had a lot of rations, and when they couldn't finish eating, they came out to change their tastes, and they paid directly with the rations. The restaurant owner then sells these things to the merchants, and makes another profit from them.
There are also some foreign merchants who come from other places to sell goods from other places, and this restaurant called Xiyingmen not only has food and drink, but also has guest rooms on the third and fourth floors.
The area controlled by the redeemers is rich in crude oil, preliminarily fractionated gasoline and coal, and although these goods have been transported to Hami, the sale and delivery have to be negotiated at the main base in Yining. If he didn't come to Yining, Hong Tao really didn't know that there were often businessmen from the East Asia Alliance, the Southwest Alliance and the Southeast Alliance.
During the banquet, he deliberately went to the toilet a few more times, and did meet two groups of outsiders eating, but the accent should be from Sichuan, as if there is no northern accent, I don't know if there is anyone from the East Asian Alliance at this time. Although Hong Tao didn't really want to go back, he really wanted to inquire about the news of the old people and see how they were alive.
