What troubles Zhou Yuanqiang now is money. The rental house in the central town of the apocalypse needs to be traded with enough food, and upgrading the ring requires the currency crystal of the apocalypse. In the modern world, opening a company, etc., all requires money. Sometimes Zhou Yuanqiang still mocks himself. Others have this ability to travel through time and become nouveau riche in a few days. Unlike himself, he has not even made a dime now, but has to pay thousands of yuan to buy food.
When the cooling time is up, Zhou Yuanqiang is teleported to the apocalypse. There is nothing unexpected in the rental house in the apocalypse. In an hour, the old residential area has not changed much, except that there are more corpse hunters who have returned after hunting.
After several hours of construction, the new camp was also built when Zhou Yuanqiang arrived. There is not much change, just put their tents together and group them in the middle of a few trees. Perhaps knowing the poor shooting ability, Xu Yuhai, who was appointed as the deputy captain by Zhou Yuanqiang, is training Xu Dali and the other eight people.
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 the solar panels. It was noon, when the sun was at its hottest and the power was the most stable, barely enough to support the operation of two laptops. Chen Wenbo and his team were seizing this opportunity, sweating profusely and working hard in the tent.
The water used in the settlement was all deep groundwater. The entire drinking water system included five deep wells, all of which were dug under the command of the management bureau. The new small camp was far away from the deep wells, and it became extremely difficult to get water. On such a hot day, there was an endless line of people queuing up for water. Chen Wenbo and his team had already drunk up their pitiful water reserves. At this time, they were shirtless, enduring the feeling of dryness.
Compared with the green trees in the town, the people in the refugee camp outside can only be said to be silently enduring like turkeys roasted on a fire. The bare branches and leaves outside the town have almost been eaten up, and there is no place to cool down under the trees. Combined with the barren sand, the heat is suffocating.
Facing the scorching heat in the tent, Zhou Yuanqiang handed the USB flash drive to Chen Wenbo and said, "There are also five programs to be completed in it. Put down your work and finish these five programs first." At this point, he couldn't help but be full of resentment, "Isn't this man destroying the city wall? He even ate all the leaves, and there is no place to cool down. If there is a drought, it won't be..."
Chen Wenbo smiled bitterly, took the USB flash drive, and said, "Boss, everyone was short of food at that time. Although the leaves are not delicious, they can also help people live a few more days. You don't know the situation at that time. People starving to death can be seen everywhere. This place can avoid zombies, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, it is desolate. If you want to find something to fill your stomach, there is really no other choice except 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 write this small application, and I will handle the other four."
Xiao Cheng also wore glasses and was over 30 years old. He smiled at Zhou Yuanqiang, called him boss, and just looked at the instructions of the small application that Chen Wenbo mentioned. He did not show a disdainful expression and said: "Brother Chen, it will be done in fifteen minutes." After that, he returned to the laptop and started to write.
Seeing them start working, Zhou Yuanqiang did not interrupt them. 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 hot commodity. Maybe no one in the refugee camp can afford it, but there are many rich people in the town. A small bag of salt can be sold for 1 level 2 blue crystal, which should not be a problem. The salt he brought filled more than 500 bags, enough to earn enough crystals to upgrade his ring and buy more weapons.
Salt is a scarce commodity in this area where salt is not produced, so Zhou Yuanqiang dare not sell it openly.
After entering the central town, Zhou Yuanqiang originally wanted to sell it bag by bag, but he found that this method made it impossible for him to sell all the 500 bags of salt. Moreover, this method of selling is extremely unsafe. A few people may not be a big deal, but as the number of people selling increases, the news will inevitably spread. When people check, won't they point to him as the source?
Zhou Yuanqiang thought about it. Who doesn't have some power in this central town? In a central town like this, there are countless teams, and their strengths vary. From the information Zhou Yuanqiang has obtained in the past few days, the strongest team should have hundreds of armed forces, but the weakest is only a small team of three or four people.
The most lively place in the central town is, of course, the central square, which is full of shops and people. Almost all the teams that have returned triumphantly will appear here to exchange food and ammunition, and buy all kinds of items they need.
If you want to make a large transaction, it is inappropriate to pack small packages like the ones you pack. So Zhou Yuanqiang bought a few large wooden barrels for water in the market, and returned to the rental house to pour the salt into these large wooden barrels. It took more than an hour to finish all these.
After shopping for more than half an hour, Zhou Yuanqiang finally locked his eyes on a comprehensive store. This store is not big, with a store area of only more than 40 square meters. Compared with other stores with a hundred square meters, this store is very inconspicuous around the central square. Zhou Yuanqiang asked about it and found out that the power behind this comprehensive store is a team of more than 60 people, which sells all kinds of items they get from hunting, such as electrical appliances, rare items, etc.
There were not many customers in the store. Zhou Yuanqiang walked in and took a few glances. There were a lot of things inside, most of which were daily necessities snatched from the city.
Seeing someone coming to the door, one of the two waitresses working in the store came up and said enthusiastically: "Hello, sir, is there anything you need?" The other person's appearance was pleasing to the eye. The clothes she wore might be due to the lack of conditions in the end times. She was a little ordinary, without makeup, and it was impossible to have hand jewelry. The only thing that caught Zhou Yuanqiang's attention was that one of the two waitresses had a plump chest and a big butt.
But Zhou Yuanqiang was not a virgin. He had a relationship in college, and they broke up after graduating and working for a year. But in modern society, there is a cruel material comparison. Zhou Yuanqiang lost his love in this powerful world of money. He was no longer interested in other women. He smiled and said, "Is your boss here? I need to discuss a big deal with him."
For matters like this, the other party could not make the decision, so he politely said, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll inform the owner."
The back of the store should be the owner's office. Zhou Yuanqiang just stood there for a while. A slightly fat middle-aged man came out with the waitress, glanced at Zhou Yuanqiang, and immediately said enthusiastically, "I'm Wang Lifu. I heard that you want to discuss a big deal with me? I don't know what you need, sir? As long as you need it, we will try our best to do it for you."
Zhou Yuanqiang did not directly state his purpose, but whispered, "Let's talk inside."
The other party's eyes lit up, nodded, and led Zhou Yuanqiang into the office at the back. After asking Zhou Yuanqiang to sit down, he also helped to pour a glass of water. Finally, he sat comfortably in his boss chair and said, "Since you found our store, you must know our strength. There is nothing we can't do."
Zhou Yuanqiang was also a little thirsty. He drank the glass of water, took out a small bag of salt from his pocket, put it on the other's desk, and said, "I wonder if you want this kind of thing?"
The crystal salt made Wang Lifu unable to react for a while. After confirming that it was salt, he put a little in his mouth and tasted it. He opened his eyes and stared at Zhou Yuanqiang and said, "Brother, I wonder how much of this kind of salt you have?" Wang Lifu was so excited for a reason. His team also saw the huge profits of salt and broke into the city several times just to grab some salt back. As a result, they suffered great losses and the gains were not very ideal. It can be said that the gains outweighed the losses.
Zhou Yuanqiang had already found out the price of salt in the desert settlement, and said: "The quantity is not large, only about 100 kilograms, and the market price is 5 level 2 blue crystals per kilogram. If you are willing to pay 3 level 2 blue crystals per kilogram, will this batch of salt be yours?"
Zhou Yuanqiang was helpless. When it came to bargaining, he was definitely not the opponent of the shrewd Wang Lifu, and he also cut the Gordian knot and sold the materials in his hands as soon as possible.
Shrewd Wang Lifu certainly knew the profit, and salt was not just a matter of making money, but also would improve the competitiveness of his store here, so of course he agreed immediately. As the owner of the entire store, his status in the team was not low, and he was still capable of mobilizing 300 level 2 crystals.
It took half an hour to transport the salt from the rental house to the store, and the transaction was successful. After getting the 30 level 3 green crystals converted back, Zhou Yuanqiang was relieved.
