Chapter 5: Eat Hot Pot and Buy a Warehouse

Now that he had the money, Su You naturally didn't care what the two of them were up to.

After deducting the loan repayment and various taxes and fees, there are still 400,000 yuan left out of the 800,000 yuan. Adding the 200,000 yuan in deposits, there is now a total of 10.6 million yuan in the account.

With this money, she felt more confident, her original depression was swept away, and her desire to stock up became stronger.

The most urgent thing is to fill your stomach.

She first went to a large shopping mall, found a restaurant and ordered a table of Sichuan hotpot.

The meat dishes include beef rolls, lamb rolls, black chicken rolls, shrimp rolls...

Vegetarian dishes include enoki mushrooms, kelp seedlings, baby cabbage, black fungus...

The rich and red hot pot soup base is bubbling, and the spicy aroma is so fragrant that it immediately makes you salivate.

Su You's eyes suddenly filled with tears. He simply mixed some condiments and started eating.

Where can you eat such delicious food in the apocalypse? This is a delicacy that only the top personnel in the base can enjoy.

Although she had the ability to cook some special meals occasionally, this was the first time she had eaten such an unlimited meal in three years.

Later, Su You asked the waiter to bring another plate each. She ate until she couldn't eat anymore. Even the waiter came over to ask her if she needed help. Su You touched her full belly with satisfaction and said she didn't need it.

This hotpot restaurant is a national chain, well-known among consumers for its top-notch taste and first-class service.

Su You felt that it would be a pity if this store disappeared in the apocalypse.

She smiled and said to the waiter, "Please pack ten hot pot takeouts. I'll send an errand boy to pick them up later."

Although the waitress felt that Su You was a little strange, she still politely agreed.

After all, there are such customers. Some food streamers use the large amount of food they eat as a selling point and often order a lot of food to take home, which is also normal.

After paying the money, Su You thought about it and decided that he couldn’t go back home.

If she lived in the base space, it would not be convenient for her to go shopping now, so she simply booked a luxury suite in a five-star hotel. This way, she could change her address at any time to avoid attracting other people's attention, and also avoid exposing her identity as a stockpiler, which was killing two birds with one stone.

The second is the warehouse. In the apocalyptic stockpiling article, there is no shortage of transfer points where large quantities of items need to be stored, and she needs enough space for safe transfer.

These all need to be carried out slowly and require trustworthy people to take over.

Coincidentally, Su You thought of a colleague from his previous life named Sister Min.

Her husband is a warehouse manager in the suburbs of Shenzhen. Because he is familiar with the warehouses of major online shopping malls, he has stockpiled a lot of things and lived a very comfortable life at the beginning of the apocalypse. Su You even went to borrow supplies from her, and Sister Min gave them to him very readily.

At the same time, she also quietly told Su You that the family members around her had bad intentions and she should be more careful.

But Su You was careless and didn't take it seriously.

Later, because of the crime of possessing a treasure, Minjie's husband was hacked to death and no news of him was heard from again.

Su You always kept this favor in his heart, but it was a pity that he couldn't avenge Sister Min because he died first.

After Su You thought about it, he decided to call Sister Min directly.

No one would believe her if she just said she was reborn, so she had to find a way to give Sister Min a reminder so that she could prepare in advance.

The call was connected soon.

"Hello, Sister Min, it's me. I want to rent a warehouse and do overseas cosmetics purchasing."

"Yes, it doesn't have to be too big. If you want to rent it for a month, just test the waters. If it doesn't work, then we can quit."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Min. Thank you for your help."

Su You was in a hurry to place the order, and Minjie's husband happened to have a suitable one. After asking about the situation, he said that the contract could be signed today.

Su You immediately gave her the address of the shopping mall.

Take advantage of this time to start thinking about what to stock up on.

Food and clothing are both necessary.

Food can be stored in the kitchen, such as fast food, instant noodles, snacks, etc., but she has space to keep them warm and preserve their quality, and can also store some takeout food so that she can take it out whenever she wants to eat.

You can also store food materials. Fresh vegetables, meat, fish, crabs, cakes and pastries can all be put into the space, and you can make them yourself when you want to eat them in the future.

The base has no electricity or natural gas, so we need to stock up on some coal stoves and cassette stoves. It would be better if we could get a diesel generator.

This brings us to diesel, which cannot be bought or sold freely due to national regulations. We have to purchase some from abroad...

In the heavy rain at the beginning of the apocalypse, cars were useless, but motorboats could travel on water. To prevent danger, she could also get a motorboat to drive...

As for clothes, cold-proof clothing and tools are definitely indispensable, such as down jackets, thermal underwear sets, snow boots, hot packs, etc. You should also be prepared for any eventuality. These things can be bought in large shopping malls, so you can go and buy them later.

The more Su You thought about it, the more he opened the memo on his phone and started taking notes, sorting out everything he had just thought about.

Soon, Sister Min hurried to the coffee shop where she had agreed to meet Su You with the contract.

Sister Min was wearing a black business suit and a pair of gold wire glasses, and she looked very serious.

Su You waved to her, "Sister Min, this way."

When Sister Min saw Su You, the seriousness on her face disappeared and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Xiao Su, why did you think of doing overseas purchasing?" She sat down and poured herself a glass of warm water.

Su You sighed, "Sister Min, you know our company hasn't been doing well in recent years. There are plans to lay off some employees. I have the shortest tenure as an editor, so I'm the most likely to be laid off. I have to prepare a way out for myself."

"I have a friend who is studying abroad, so I thought about becoming a purchasing agent with her. If that doesn't work out, I can explore the overseas market and do some foreign trade live streaming. After all, the overseas market is quite large, and any niche field can fill people's stomachs."

Su You laid out his plan in full. After hearing it, Sister Min didn't doubt it and sighed, "Indeed, our company's top management does have plans to lay off employees. It's not a bad thing to plan ahead. But, Xiao Su, doing business isn't that easy. The risks are huge, so you have to be careful."

"Yes, I know. Thanks for the reminder, Sister Min."

Sister Min then pulled out two contracts from her bag. "I've found the warehouse you wanted. It's 30 square meters and the monthly rent is 600 yuan. It's a little out of the way, but it's the most cost-effective warehouse for you right now."

Su You had just looked at the photos that Sister Min sent her on the way, and saw that there was no problem with the contract, so she signed it decisively.

"Sister Min found it, I'm relieved."

Sister Min smiled and handed over the warehouse key. "I brought the key with me. I also sent the location and contact information to your phone."

Su You got the key: "Thank you, Sister Min."

She seemed to suddenly remember something. "My friend who's studying abroad is a graduate student in a meteorological laboratory. She said the weather has been very changeable in recent years, and there might be heavy rain for a long time this year. She reminded me to raise the shelves in the warehouse to avoid losses."

"That's why I plan to rent a warehouse to store the goods. I can also get insurance to avoid excessive losses."

Sister Min seemed to be thinking about it. "If there's a heavy rain, it won't be good for low-lying areas. That warehouse is right on the hillside, so it's very troublesome to pull it up and down, but it just happens to meet your needs."

Su You nodded. She just happened to see this location and decided to rent it.

"This is all about taking precautions. A little extra preparation is enough to save you from the hardship later on. I'm also planning to buy some flood prevention supplies and stock up on food and water so we can cope if the storm does come."

Sister Min seemed to have listened to some of what he said, but her family had a habit of stockpiling goods, so supplies would not be too scarce.

Everyone knows that it is a crime to possess a treasure, but few people can take effective preventive measures. After all, not everyone can have an invisible and intangible portable space. Once discovered, it is a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
