In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits
#137 - Chapter 137 Market Records 6
Lu Xu was also quite surprised. The Zhang Qing in front of him was a cooperating distributor of the Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce.
His methods were quite clever. He could obtain a lot of scarce materials in the post-apocalyptic world, and his sales channels were also very wide, with particularly unconventional approaches.
If Zhang Qing couldn't handle the materials, it definitely wasn't a small transaction.
Thinking of this, Lu Xu directly asked, "President Zhang, speak plainly. There's no need to beat around the bush. Just say how much material you need. I'm also quite curious as to how much material you need that even you are stumped."
Zhang Qing directly took out a list from his briefcase and handed it over, "Master Lu, take a look. The required materials are all on this list."
Lu Xu took it and was also stunned. Good heavens, there was a lot of material indeed.
On the entire list, it was clearly listed:
20 tons of fresh water and 100 kilograms of edible ice. These two requirements seemed normal, but the subsequent requirements were very extravagant.
There were also three boxes of high-quality red wine, a total of 200 kilograms of various fresh fruits, a total of 300 kilograms of various fresh meats, about 500 kilograms of fresh vegetables, about 100 kilograms of various rare seafood, and also various luxury tableware, swimming pool disinfectant, and other materials. In short, the entire list was for the amount of materials needed to hold a banquet.
After Lu Xu finished reading the list, he asked Zhang Qing, "Old Zhang, what is this family doing? Are you sure it's not a banquet but a party?"
"Master Lu, let me tell you, the one holding the party is a big businessman in the villa area. He plans to show his strength to marry off his daughter to a rich and powerful son-in-law! Are you taking this deal?" Zhang Qing looked at Lu Xu expectantly.
Lu Xu glanced at him, "Are you just connecting us, or are we jointly supplying the goods?"
"This time, I'm just making the connection. This big businessman also has some power, and I'm weak and alone. I don't like taking this kind of order. I guess only your Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce has the strength to not be afraid of the other party going back on their word!" Zhang Qing said helplessly.
He couldn't handle this order at all. It was better to just make a connection and earn some intermediary fees.
Lu Xu smiled, "We'll take this order. What are they planning to trade with?"
"Here are the materials they can provide. You can take a look!" Zhang Qing immediately took out another list.
Lu Xu looked at it. There were indeed a lot of materials on the list. It seemed that the other party also understood the price of goods and didn't just randomly quote a price. If this order was given according to the materials on the list, the profit would still be considerable.
Lu Xu nodded, "Okay, let's trade according to the list!"
...........
After Lu Xu approved this transaction, there were no more large-scale transactions.
Time quickly came to ten o'clock in the evening. Li Ming, accompanied by guards and Lu Xu, went directly to the port he controlled. At this time, the seaport was brightly lit.
However, the group traveled to the seaport by car, with the headlights on. Moreover, this was Li Ming's sphere of influence, so the security was relatively good.
The dock was about 3 kilometers away from Li Ming's market. When they arrived at the dock, it was already very lively.
Several fishing boats from other forces had already docked and started unloading their goods. Many vendors and individuals were waiting to pick out the goods.
Some of these people were driving vans, while others were riding tricycles or donkey carts. However, those who came here to buy seafood were basically nearby merchants.
Some people who lived too far away basically wouldn't come, because the round trip was not short. Without refrigerated trucks, these live seafood would have an odor before they even reached the store.
Those who came here to buy seafood were not only merchants, but also many people from nearby residential areas who came to buy in bulk, and many people were here to make a living.
In Li Ming's line of sight, soldiers from a light infantry regiment stationed at the port were patrolling back and forth with rifles slung over their shoulders. Machine guns on the sentry posts and watchtowers were constantly on alert.
He was very satisfied with the performance of these soldiers. At this time, as soon as the fishing boat was opened, Li Ming could clearly see that the seafood on the fishing boat was very fresh, and many seafood were jumping and lively.
Large yellow croaker, turbot, flounder, cuttlefish, hairtail, etc., in addition to fish, there were also many shrimps and shellfish. In addition, there were a considerable number of seaweed products, such as kelp, seaweed, sea lettuce, wakame, dragon beard vegetables, etc., a wide variety, dazzling to the eye.
Lu Xu said to the side, "Chief, the transactions here are divided into three qualities and three prices. The first type is where the buyer picks the seafood themselves. This type is priced at one and a half pounds of grain per pound of seafood. The second type is where they don't pick the type or size, and just grab whatever they can. This is generally priced at one pound of grain per pound of seafood."
"In contrast, seaweed is cheaper. Two pounds of seaweed can be exchanged for one pound of grain. Of course, those seafood don't seem expensive, but they are all raw seafood, which is heavy. One pound doesn't amount to much."
Li Ming nodded repeatedly after listening, and then he asked, "What do our own seafood direct stores usually sell?"
"Compared to other merchants selling seafood, although we also sell dried goods and live seafood, we basically don't focus on these. To put it bluntly, these things are sold along the way. Our main focus is canned goods made from various seafood. After all, although canned seafood is a bit more expensive, the taste and flavor are much better than dried goods."
Li Ming didn't say much after hearing this. He subconsciously asked, "What is the situation with this Marine Life Base and this Cao family?"
"What kind of situation does the Chief want to ask about?"
"Hehe, of course, their internal situation, such as their attitude towards the survivors," Li Ming said with a smile.
Lu Xu immediately knew that the Chief was probably going to take action against some scoundrels. After thinking for a while, he said, "Chief, this Cao family is from the Talgai region in the south. They have always been doing their old business. Generally speaking, they are quite honest in doing business."
"This Marine Life Base was originally a private base established during the extremely cold period of the apocalypse. It was not originally a large force, but after the extreme heat arrived and there was an opportunity to go out to sea to fish, they grew stronger."
"I'm not very clear about the internal situation of the base, but it is worth noting that the young master of the Marine Life Base, Han Shao, is very lustful......."
