Chapter 369: Building a Black Market Street
Gu Yuehuai didn't care about Xing Jian's sarcasm. Hu Zi looked at her eagerly. Although he only had one eye left, the clarity and innocence in his eyes made people feel particularly soft-hearted. She curled her lips and reached out to touch his little head.
"Although I don't know how many people there are here, I think it shouldn't be difficult for me."
If she was just an unlucky person who was chased and punished by Tian Jing like in her previous life, then she really had no right to say this. But now she is not like that. With the Sumeru Space as her trump card, she can have as much food as she wants.
Based on the growth rate of space, if she wanted, she could become the world's largest food supplier.
However, regardless of whether she has this ambition or not, just considering the current situation, if she shows overly strong food strength, she will probably be invited to the capital for tea tomorrow. By then, various punishments will be imposed on her, and she will only become a food production machine that has lost its freedom. This is why she has a treasure mountain but rarely uses it.
She could take out some of it and exchange it for money on the black market, but the amount couldn't be too large, otherwise she would be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
Nowadays, food is hard currency and is much more scarce than money.
After hearing what Gu Yuehuai said, Xing Jian's expression changed again and again like a color palette.
He lowered his head and blew on his fingers, thinking about how Gu Yuehuai had been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger from the beginning. She did not look like the kind of person who would brag. Since she said this, she must have some trump cards and confidence.
However, his childhood experiences made him understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and no one in the world would be nice to another person for no reason. The girl in front of him was as sharp as a knife, and she was definitely not a fool. She must have something in mind when she said this.
Xing Jian lowered his eyebrows, thought carefully for a while, and asked tentatively: "What do you want me to do?"
Since he was able to replace Scar and become the new boss here, it was certainly not just because of his bravery, he also had some brains.
After she came here, the only people she came into contact with were him and Hu Zi. If we talk about the advantages, he is obviously more useful than Hu Zi, who has no good points in his body. She probably wants to use him.
Although I don't want to be a knife in the hands of others anymore, kidnapping and extortion is not a long-term solution.
He understood how risky this path was. He would inevitably follow in Scar's footsteps in the future. He was not afraid, but he was afraid of implicating the 68 people here, big and small. They were all innocent and lived in the world just to make a living. What was wrong with that?
The fact that this girl came here for Hu Zi is enough to show that she has a kind heart. Even if she really wants to use him, she won't let him do anything bad. As long as she can afford the food money, he will be willing to be used by her!
Thinking of this, Xing Jian's eyes showed a bit more determination and resoluteness.
After hearing Xing Jian's question, Gu Yuehuai paused and asked himself what to do?
She looked at Xing Jian thoughtfully, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. Originally, she only wanted to feed these people with food. When the world becomes more open in the future, she will have people she can use. Now thinking about it, she feels that her vision is too narrow.
Why do we have to wait until the world relaxes?
She can seize this opportunity and lay a solid foundation for her future business!
Due to environmental and other factors, there is a food shortage across the country, and this crisis will continue until next year.
Many people have money and tickets in their hands, but have no place to buy food. After all, food has always been a hard currency that is in short supply. Although the state has expressly prohibited the buying and selling of food, pork and other things, very few people can take out a large amount of food to exchange for money.
She had food, an endless supply of food, but she had no way to get it through legitimate means. But think about it the other way around: since she couldn't use legitimate means, she might as well use unfair means!
Everything exists for a reason. She can use Xing Jian and his group to create a black market commercial street!
Feng City is a center with convenient transportation. Most of the people coming and going here are from other places. In addition, it is a mixed crowd. Those living here are homeless people, fugitives and exiles. It is a complex, sensitive and very chaotic area. At least the authorities are unwilling to intervene here, otherwise it would not have become a high-crime area.
The black market here is definitely more prosperous than the black market in Huangying Commune. There is great potential in building a black market street here!
Others cannot afford to operate large amounts of grain, but she is different. If she can get Xing Jian to lead the people here to work for her, she might be able to create the largest black market street in the country, and grain and eggs would be the biggest gimmick to attract customers.
Although this is also going against the authorities and involves great risks, it at least provides the people with a channel to buy food, which is better than kidnapping and extorting people all the time. This way, it also gives them a means of making a living.
Gu Yuehuai remained silent for a long time, just staring at Xing Jian, which made the latter feel uneasy and quite uneasy.
After a while, he cleared his throat and said sincerely: "Just say whatever you want to say. As long as you can afford to give me food, it's not impossible for me to listen to you. Although I am not a good person, I still have a set of rules for doing things."
Xing Jian was a little panicked, fearing that Gu Yuehuai would suddenly change his mind.
Although it was a bit ridiculous to trust a young girl like this, he always felt that this was a rare opportunity. If he really missed it, he would definitely regret it. Just because she had the courage to go deep into the tiger's xue, why not believe her?
Gu Yuehuai looked at Xing Jian quietly for a moment. He was obviously a big fool, but what he said was quite sincere.
She restrained the expression on her face and asked seriously, "What's your name?"
Xing Jian was stunned for a moment, and replied blankly: "Xing...Xing Jian."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said seriously: "Okay, Xing Jian, are you interested in doing a business with me?"
"Business? What kind of business?" Xing Jian frowned, his eyes a little suspicious. What kind of business can be done in this day and age? Apart from buying and selling women and children, what other decent business is there? Is he wrong? Is this woman unreliable?
Thinking of this, Xing Jian's face turned cold and he felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Yuehuai's expression did not change, and he said very straightforwardly: "Let's join forces to build a black market street in Feng City."
Hearing this, Xing Jian looked confused: "Black market street? There are quite a few black markets in Feng City, but what can they sell?"
Gu Yuehuai raised her eyes to meet his, and said in a firm and decisive tone: "Just sell the grain!"
"Selling food?!" Xing Jian raised his voice in disbelief, and then asked in confusion: "Every household is short of food at this time. If we can really sell food, we can definitely make money, but where will the food come from? There is nothing wrong with you wanting to set up a black market street, but that requires a constant supply of goods. Once the food is cut off, who will believe that your street can be successful?"
"You may have some food that can feed our people, but it's a fantasy to set up a black market street."
Xing Jian seemed to be trying to convince himself, but after rejecting Gu Yuehuai's words, he couldn't help but say, "But if we can really build a black market street dedicated to selling grain, then won't we be able to run this Fengshi sideways in the future?"
He could imagine the scene of a large amount of money and bills coming in, but it would be useless without food.
Nowadays, all grain is controlled by the state. It is a year of famine, and the grain distributed in batches to the cities and counties under its jurisdiction is not enough. Who has so much spare grain to sell on the black market?
