Even if someone wanted to raise the price, they could only sell 3 to 5 sets of materials at most, while the wood he hoarded simply couldn't be sold!

Haha, these people have no taste. Don't they know this is a lifesaver? No worries, the rain is pouring down, these people will be back. He has plenty of patience.

He would often check the chat channel and discovered that some people were voluntarily exchanging good materials and items for timber.

He couldn't understand it. If you're willing to pay such a price, why not just buy his? Why buy from those other groups?

What did they give you? Just the option to trade one for one!

Yu Ming sent a message, but it went unanswered. Undeterred, he tried messaging other people. Then, he discovered he had been blocked.

He contacted many other business people like himself and learned that their situations were similar to his own.

Finally, he was forced to keep lowering the price, and only managed to sell some materials at a 1:7 material exchange rate.

But why are all the materials he received just fibers?

What's most infuriating is that someone actually opened a bag of peanuts and counted out 7 peanuts for him.

He only sells 7 peanuts for 1 piece of timber, it's infuriating!

Then, something even more horrible happened.

That "Sister Xi" directly said that she could make a super-large plastic tank, so that people could hide inside to avoid the rain.

And then there's Sun Yiming, who voluntarily took on the role of intermediary, bringing his own materials and collecting a small handling fee to produce it.

As a result, his timber completely lost its market.

Everyone knows now that buying wood is useless; it's better to buy a plastic tank.

Moreover, the plastic tank requires very little material; it only needs 10 pieces of plastic to complete.

Yu Ming was gnawing hard on his thumb, counting his plastic bags.

He doesn't have much plastic inventory, only 60 tons. If he sells it all, he can make a considerable profit.

This time, with no one taking the lead, the price of plastic indeed exceeded that of wood by a significant margin.

However, the demand for plastic is much lower than that for wood, and some people have already collected enough plastic.

He seized the business opportunity and quickly put the plastic on the shelves.

One piece of plastic can be exchanged for one blueprint or 10 iron ingots and 5 food items.

As for water, it's worthless, so he doesn't want it.

Sure enough, not long after, all the plastic was sold, and he acquired another batch of supplies. He smiled, and the frustration that had lasted for more than ten hours finally dissipated.

In a good mood, he then lashed out at those who called him a profiteer and a heartless devil in the chat channel.

Yes, he is a heartless devil, so what if he's a shrewd businessman? Those people still can't touch him.

He loved seeing those people hate him so much they were practically grinding their teeth, yet unable to do anything about it. Even though he couldn't see it, just imagining it made him incredibly happy. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
