Chapter 4: Start Stockpiling
Yin Shan left the coffee shop and took a taxi to the car dealership. After the heavy rain, it was extremely cold. Yin Shan was not planning to enter the military base, so a car was a necessity after the apocalypse. Yin Shan decided to buy an off-road vehicle and modify it. After the apocalypse, firearms were no longer controlled items, so the body of the vehicle needed to be bulletproof, and the tires had to be explosion-proof, and they needed to be bigger. Although he had space, he still needed to look good.
Arriving at the dealership, Yin Shan immediately spotted the poster for the Amodiro Conqueror at the entrance. It was said that this car was known as the "land-moving castle," the king of off-roading, and there was only one in the country. It was supposedly on display at the August Auto Show. Yin Shan calculated the date and realized the show was in mid-August. In his previous life, the auto show had started with heavy rain the day after, and it had continued for two months. Yin Shan decided to then take the car back and use it as his own mobile castle!
Thinking of this, Yin Shan stopped looking at the poster and walked towards the Hummer next to her. The dealership saw Yin Shan looking at the Hummer and remembered the poster she had seen when she entered the door. He knew that this was the kind of hardcore off-road vehicle Yin Shan wanted. He recommended it to Yin Shan: "Beautiful girl, we just got a George Patton. The original owner was a doomsday fan. The whole car is bulletproof and equipped with night vision, oxygen supply, constant temperature, and a high-tech satellite monitoring system." Yin Shan's eyes lit up. This car was simply tailor-made for her! It had all the functions she could think of, so Yin Shan decided to buy it. Thinking that she only had a little over 30 million, Yin Shan decided to pay in installments. After all, she wouldn't have to pay it back when the apocalypse came, so saving money to stock up on supplies was the most important thing.
"I like this car. Can I pay for it in installments? I heard there are discounts for car installment payments these days." Yin Shan slowly glanced at the saleswoman, thinking that if the down payment didn't exceed 1 million, he'd get the car. If it exceeded, he could just wait for the apocalypse to arrive and buy it for free. The saleswoman perked up immediately and quickly recommended it to Yin Shan: "There are discounts for installment payments. Right now, the down payment is only 1 million, and the rest can be paid in installments within a year. However, the price of the car will be higher than paying in full, but we can install a 360-degree panoramic detection system for you free of charge. This system is the latest and can see everything within 15 meters of the car from inside the car. It also has night vision." Yin Shan raised an eyebrow. He really got what he wanted, so he decisively paid the 1 million down payment, transferred the money on the spot, and asked to drive the car away today. After completing the vehicle loan, Yin Shan left the dealership and noted the location. While waiting for the loan, Yin Shan noticed that the dealership had many hardcore off-road vehicles and motorcycles, but Yin Shan thought that his space was only 400 cubic meters. If he came directly to collect the car, not only might it not be able to fit in, but other materials would also have no way to be stored.
Yin Shan has tried it. Only living things can be placed in the mobile farm. Inanimate objects cannot be placed in it at all. Living things will die immediately if placed in a static warehouse.
Yin Shan sighed and decided not to think about it. Thinking about the call he had just received from Lu Yunchao and the money that had been transferred, Yin Shan decided to buy everything he needed according to the list first. So he called Hou Ting and told her that he needed about 20,000 kilograms of food, including 10,000 kilograms of rice, 5,000 kilograms of millet, and the remaining 5,000 kilograms of mung beans, soybeans, red beans, etc.
Hou Ting listened to Yin Shan's words and didn't understand why she suddenly wanted so much grain. So she asked, "Shan Shan, what do you want so much grain for? Are you starting a business? If so, I can connect you with the farmers I buy grain from. It's very cheap to buy directly from farmers. After the autumn harvest, you can buy grain from farmers. Buying directly from suppliers is more expensive."
Yin Shan certainly knew that it would be much cheaper to buy grain from farmers, but it was too late. Moreover, the temperature was rising. In previous years, the temperature in the north was less than 30 degrees in June, but now it has reached 38 degrees. Moreover, it has hardly rained since the beginning of spring. This year's grain harvest is destined not to be very good. With these 20,000 kilograms of grain, at least he can ensure that his family will not starve to death.
After the end of her previous life, Yin Shan never saw her two best friends again. She didn't know whether they didn't survive or wandered to some unknown place. So Yin Shan told Hou Ting that she felt the farmers' harvest would not be very good this year, and she wanted to stock up some and resell it later.
After hearing Yin Shan's explanation, Hou Ting realized she couldn't persuade her impetuous friend, so she agreed immediately: "Don't worry, I'll negotiate for you. I guarantee you'll get the grain at the lowest price. Just give me the warehouse address, and I'll get it done for you within three days."
When Yin Shan heard Hou Ting say this, he realized he needed a warehouse. Although he had space, he still needed a clear path to the warehouse. So he quickly contacted an agent and rented a warehouse in the suburbs for only two months. He gave the agent an extra 200 yuan as a commission and didn't pay a deposit. Then he told Hou Ting the address.
