638 Buying and selling are coming, too
This freight company is not in the business of transportation! No, it should be said that it is not all about transportation. In addition to transportation, they also have a major job, which is to go to the towns and villages in the Union-controlled areas, as well as to carry out thorough cleaning of inhabited places with factories and mines.
The purpose is to bring back and dismantle all the materials that can be used as intact as possible, and some of them will be handed over to the alliance, and some of them will be put into the market in the safe zone for the needs of the displaced people.
In fact, the alliance is not one-size-fits-all, not allowing everyone to enter the Red Zone, let alone allowing so many usable materials to be wasted. However, the top of the alliance did not want the outcasts to go to those areas where there were no established rules to kill each other in search of supplies like gold diggers, so they adopted a compromise method.
The name of the organization is the Freight Forwarding Company, in which the authorities issue licences, provide the necessary training, equipment, and equipment, and allow the displaced people to form a semi-civilian and semi-official team to enter the Red Zone to carry out a planned and orderly search and collection work.
At present, there is only one license plate in the Seongnam Security Zone, which is the company called Jingshun where the skinny monkey neighbor works. At any time, as long as it is a monopoly industry, there is no bad treatment. He worked as a team leader in the company and could get a salary of 40 yuan a month.
As for the work, it is not very tiring and dangerous, there are generally trucks to travel to and fro, and there are alliance soldiers who are responsible for command and supervision. The only disadvantage is that you travel a lot, and it's normal to go for half a month and a month.
If you catch up with a special mission, such as following the Alliance army to clean up the zombie-controlled area, you will be given a subsidy in addition to your regular salary. Anyway, he works alone, and it is no problem to feed a family of three, and he doesn't have to live tightly.
No matter how good someone else's work is, what does it have to do with the skinny monkey? That's where profiteers come in. He immediately smelled the smell of small money, and after two attempts, he really found a good way to do business.
He met a squadron leader in the freight company through the neighbor's relationship, and after eating and drinking twice, he solved the purchase channel. Some of the goods retrieved by the freight company are to be provided to the displaced people, that is, to be sold in the market.
It was troublesome for them to ask the freight company to send someone to set up a stall in the market, so they simply found a few fixed big merchants to wholesale the goods to them at wholesale prices, and then they sold them to retailers at a higher price.
Now the squadron leader of the freight company promised to use the power in his hands to slightly expose a little loose goods and sell them at wholesale prices. In this way, the skinny monkey no longer has to go to the market and ask the wholesalers to peel off the skin. With a price advantage, even if there is no price war, the profit is higher than most retailers.
"In the future, our diplomatic work will depend on you, and those who feel that they can be used and who are helpful to us should make friends, and don't be afraid to spend money. This is fishing to make a nest, throw down a hundred catties of old corn beans, and you can catch thirty catties of fish to earn! ”
When the thin monkey secretly ran back to the shantytown in the middle of the night to ask if he should go to the market to rent a stall, Hong Tao patted him on the shoulder and was full of encouragement, which is 100% good!
I can't show up everywhere to establish a network, and I expect the tiger to be blind in a few short times, if the thin monkey can make up for this shortcoming, it will solve the big problem.
In addition, Hong Tao has a plan, he plans to use the thin monkey's stall to sell the goods collected from the red zone. In this way, not only will it not attract the attention of others, but it will also increase income.
I want to ask why there are so many useful daily necessities in the red zone when there are freight companies. The skinny monkey also inquired about this from the neighbors, and it was one word, lazy!
The starting point of the freight company is to make money, not to be a good person. So when you are working, the first thing you think about is not how to do everything, but how to reduce costs and increase income.
If the employees of the freight company are like Hong Tao and they carefully search house by house, not only will they waste labor and time, and the harvested materials will not necessarily be of higher value.
They adopt a more crude approach, prioritizing the uncollected ruins of the town as a focus when making plans, and scanning them as quickly as they can once they enter.
The order of priority in selecting goods is that the First Alliance will take what it needs. After all, the license is issued by the alliance, and without the alliance there is nothing and all the needs of the alliance must be met unconditionally.
The second is to consider what is good to sell in the market. And try to find a small size and light weight to take. Suppose a sofa, a bicycle, a cigarette, a pack of instant noodles, and a battery are all sold for 5 yuan in the market.
Then they will choose the goods in the order of batteries, instant noodles, cigarettes, bicycles, and sofas, unless there is an empty space on the car, and they can't find the goods with the highest priority, or the price of a certain goods is high recently, they will choose the goods with the lower priority.
In fact, the red zone around the safe zone has been swept by them at least once, and the good things that are easier to find have been taken away a few years ago. This is the reason why when Hong Tao and his team went to the red zone for the first time, they found that many street shops had been turned over.
However, freight companies generally do not choose the red zone between the second and fifth ring roads in the south and southeast of the city, for only one reason, there are too many zombie remains.
With so many corpses piled up for years, no one can say if there will be any strange disease. To the west, north, and east of the city, there's still a lot of space to explore, and there's no need to touch it if you don't make it to the farther town.
So the question arises again, why does the alliance issue more licenses and organize more freight companies to search for more goods back? The skinny monkey's neighbors didn't know this, but Hong Tao could figure it out.
It's not that the alliance doesn't want to, but it can't. Organizing more people and teams will inevitably start competition, and after getting out of the safety zone, it will be urgent to grab the land and grab the eyes, and the consequences will still be dead.
Even if you can endure it outside, you still have to fight openly and secretly when you come back, and you will still die in the end. Exchanging valuable labor for goods is more than worth the loss for the Alliance.
One reason is the economic account, the Union has issued currency, so it has to stabilize the value of the currency as much as possible. What is the basis for the stability of the value of money? Goods! If a large amount of goods poured directly into the market, prices immediately plummeted, and the economy was ruined. That's right, it's not good to raise too much, and it's not good if the price is too low.
At present, there is one freight company in the south of the city, one in the north of the city and one in the east of the city, which can basically meet the needs of the alliance, and the top management is not willing to make any more effort.
They are concerned that if the limited labor force is used to restore the level of agricultural and industrial production as soon as possible, they will not consider anything too specific and detailed.
As for whether the homeless people are comfortable sleeping on Simmons or hardboard beds, and whether there is suitable furniture available, as a high-level member of the alliance, they will definitely not ponder. At the current stage, it is already perfect for these hundreds of thousands of people to be able to eat enough and not be freezing, and there is no need to invest too much manpower, material resources and energy in small things.
"It's best for you and the water snake to rent a booth each, don't buy too much goods from the freight company, and let's do the rest ourselves!"
Since the alliance can't take care of these small things, Hong Tao is ready to worry about the government. What did the ancients say, the humble did not dare to forget the country's worries! The ancients said again, don't be good and small. That's great, no one is allowed to stop this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people, let's do it!
"And what about my garage?" As soon as he heard that the thin monkey and the water snake were in business, the fat sheep began to blush.
"Let's go together, I see that the location across the street from the small building is good, you go to the red zone with us in the evening, find out what kind of wood is suitable for tires, and by the way, carry back a few more cars, dismantle it, and open it tomorrow afternoon!"
Hong Tao has not forgotten the car repair stall, but this business is not to make money. Put it near the small building as a dark pile, usually you can watch the six roads and listen to the ventilation reports from all directions, and if something happens, you can also increase the variables unexpectedly.
"Woooooooooo......oo Flutter flutter ......" The fat sheep was about to grin when he suddenly jumped up from the bench and squatted at the door with his knife in his hand. At this time, there was a slight noise outside, as if someone was covering their mouths and tossing desperately.
