The next morning, Xu Xing slowly opened his eyes in the warm sunlight, got up and pulled the curtains of the French windows open a little more.
Phew, this was probably the most restful sleep Xu Xing had had in years, free from the struggles between various factions and the tension of guarding against assassination attempts.
All that's left is a body catching up on sleep.
"Ding!" The pleasant sound of a text message arrived.
The screen clearly showed that his bank card balance was 2 billion, which included some money he had originally kept.
At the same time, the phone rang. It was from General Manager Yang's financial company, informing him that the money had been transferred to his account.
Wearing slippers, Xu Xing sat on the edge of the bed and exclaimed, "My salary has arrived! If I don't get cocky, who will?"
"So the most important thing next is to clear out all the remaining balance and go on a shopping spree!"
I took out the various dishes that I hadn't finished eating last time from the space, and that's how I solved breakfast.
After washing up, I took the key I had exchanged yesterday and headed to the public underground parking garage.
Upon entering the garage, almost without noticing, a red Bentley is parked in the most prominent spot.
Xu Xing chuckled to himself. This thing was much more expensive than his Porsche, yet the girl was so carefree. She really hadn't experienced the harsh realities of life.
Opening the car door reveals a girlish style, with the interior all in pink, which seems rather out of place with a Bentley.
This made Xu Xing, a grown man, feel somewhat embarrassed.
But the moment Xu Xing sat down, he realized that there was a reason why it was expensive, and the comfort level was indeed different. It felt like taming a raging wild beast.
When Xu Xing drove this car on the road, the surrounding cars had to keep a distance of 5 meters. The driving experience can be summed up in one word: stable.
Xu Xing followed the navigation and arrived at a commercial street. The busiest place around was the Walmart supermarket located in the very center, which was also Xu Xing's destination.
Walmart is the number one Fortune Global 500 company. Unlike some domestic supermarket brands, Walmart mainly emphasizes "large", "comprehensive" and "variety".
There's nothing you can't find here, only things you haven't even imagined.
Xu Xing remembers that within 24 hours of the apocalypse beginning, everyone around him reacted by rushing to Walmart to grab supplies.
The Walmart supermarket, spanning over 10,000 square meters, managed to avoid selling out its goods immediately, and in fact, it later evolved into a small trading market.
Xu Xing parked the Bentley in a nearby parking lot.
He got off the bus amidst the strange looks from some people, and it's likely that many people mistook Xu Xing for a gigolo trying to seduce rich women.
Xu Xing also has the looks to be considered handsome, with his well-proportioned features and a height of 1.80 meters.
However, his body has been emptied by excessive drinking and womanizing, making him appear somewhat weak and frivolous.
Xu Xing didn't pay much attention to that and, like an ordinary person, followed the crowd into the Walmart supermarket.
I randomly stopped a waiter and said, "Excuse me, could you please call your manager? I'm here to conduct a survey and I need his help."
Xu Xing made up a reason on the spot, and the waiter didn't think much of it. He told Xu Xing to wait there for a while and then went to the back to call the manager.
Xu Xing looked at the rows of goods on the shelves. These were all very important supplies in the future, the kind that would become increasingly rare with each use.
Especially in the food section, all sorts of things, both familiar and unfamiliar, were piled up together. Xu Xing could imagine with his eyes closed what a vast fortune this must be.
A short while later, a middle-aged man in a suit walked over.
Xu Xing greeted him with a smile and quickly explained his purpose.
"Hello, I'm planning to buy everything here except for appliances and furniture, including your warehouse in the back."
After Xu Xing finished speaking rapidly, he noticed that the manager had turned his head away and was about to leave.
Xu Xing quickly grabbed his arm, and the manager turned around and said.
"Sir, my time is very valuable, please don't joke around, okay?"
“I’m serious. You can transfer the money directly. I’ll take care of all the shipping of the goods. Walmart doesn’t need to do anything.” He said, shaking the Bentley keys in his hand.
Upon seeing this, the manager immediately adopted a more serious attitude. Although still puzzled, he indicated that he needed to consult with the regional management.
He then invited Xu Xing to the office at the back for a detailed discussion.
Xu Xing followed the manager to an office area at the back.
After the manager consulted with his superiors, he indicated that they could buy out everything in Walmart.
Furthermore, they thoughtfully compiled all the product names, quantities, and prices into a massive database.
Finally, calculations showed that, excluding appliances and furniture, it would take approximately 210 million to buy all the goods.
Walmart officially and generously rounded down the price.
Xu Xing readily transferred the money to Walmart.
Who could imagine that a business worth hundreds of millions, involving supplies for tens or even hundreds of thousands of people, could be traded away so easily?
"I don't know how you're getting these goods out of the country. Do you need me to introduce you to some large freight companies?"
The manager stood to the side, introducing the situation with great enthusiasm.
For a manager, such a buyer would be a sure way to boost performance.
Xu Xing waved his hand, "Tell your employees that they can leave now. After settling all payments with everyone, just close the store."
"There are plenty of commercial streets around here, enough for them to buy. You don't need to worry about the rest; I'll figure something out."
