Chapter 201: Okay, Give Me the Points Card
"What do you think, Boss?"
Meng Ci did not forget the agreement with Zheng Yan, so he and Shen Que drove to the item exchange point.
Yesterday's meeting place was a passage between two residential buildings. The authorities also transplanted some trees, so it was relatively hidden.
After letting Qiezi look around and making sure there were no other suspicious people around Zheng Yan, Meng Ci and Shen Que walked over.
Zheng Yan's eyes lit up when he heard Meng Ci's voice.
It was already past eight o'clock and more than ten minutes had passed since the agreed time. Zheng Yan thought that Meng Ci and the others were not going to make the deal.
Now seeing the two of them, he was extremely excited and hurried forward.
"Our boss said we can try to find it."
"But you also know that the end of the world has been long gone. Even if we find those machines, they may be damaged by water, or the main parts may be taken away by scavengers in exchange for points."
“So it’s difficult to maintain.”
"So the boss asked for a higher price, and was worried that you would go back on your word, so he needed to pay a deposit in advance."
Zheng Yan didn't say anything else and directly conveyed the boss's meaning.
Meng Ci was aware of the current situation and did not think it was excessive.
"If you can find a flour mill or an oil press, I'll give you three packs of cigarettes and five condoms for each."
"Go ask your boss. If it's suitable, then do the deal. If it's not suitable, forget it."
These two things are scarce nowadays, so Zheng Yan and his team won’t suffer any loss.
However, Meng Ci and Shen Que do not smoke.
The condom was the wrong size and was not comfortable to use.
Moreover, Meng Ci would not get pregnant, and every time she cleaned up, she cleaned up in time.
Meng Ci didn't get sick because of this, so the condoms were of no use to them.
Now that he can exchange for what he needs, Meng Ci is naturally willing.
However, Meng Ci also understood how much profit these two things could bring, so he made it clear in advance that if Boss Zheng Yan took the opportunity to blackmail him, then it would be better not to do this deal.
When Zheng Yan heard about the items he could exchange for, his eyes widened with excitement.
Originally, the boss said that the deal would be done if he gave two packs of cigarettes or a few condoms.
Nowadays, one machine comes with three packs of cigarettes and five condoms. If they have both, then they will be given the money, right?
However, Zheng Yan did not show his excitement, because he was worried that Meng Ci would see how happy he was and take the opportunity to lower the price.
"I'll go ask the boss right away. You two brothers, please wait here for half an hour."
"No, it will only take twenty minutes. I will be back."
After saying that, Zheng Yan ran out.
Although it was hot, Zheng Yan was motivated, so he ran quickly to find his boss.
Meng Ci and Shen Que did not stay there for long, but returned to the SUV with Eggplant.
The temperature outside the car was around 40 degrees Celsius, which was extremely hot.
As soon as he got in the car, Meng Ci took out ice cubes and a fan from the space to blow air.
As for the air conditioning in the off-road vehicle, Meng Ci and his friends did not dare to use it.
Driving a car is already eye-catching. If they turn on the air conditioner without restraint, doesn't it mean that they have scarce gasoline?
This would cause trouble if you were targeted by bad guys.
Then Meng Ci took out three ice creams from the space, one for each person.
Of course, the eggplant portion was fed by Shen Que.
After all, Meng Ci has not forgotten about eating mealworms on eggplant.
What if Eggplant licks his hand while eating ice cream!
After eating the ice cream, Meng Ci took another cup of taro balls and grapes with ice.
The off-road vehicle was parked not far from the trading point, but the base was well landscaping and the car was hidden by the trees. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find it.
Zheng Yan, on the other hand, was so anxious to report the matter to his boss that he didn't even look at this.
After Meng Ci saw Zheng Yan running back in the car, he waited for another two minutes before getting out.
When we arrived at the place, we saw Zheng Yan supporting himself with his hands, breathing heavily. Large beads of sweat from his head fell to the ground, leaving watermarks. His white T-shirt was soaked with sweat.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I can't run away." Meng Ci came over this time with a bag in his hand.
Zheng Yan stood up straight while breathing heavily. Wasn't he afraid that Meng Ci, the financial sponsor, would be poached by someone else?
"I...our boss, the boss said!"
Zheng Yan swallowed his saliva and continued, "This deal can be done."
"But, you have to give me a pack of cigarettes and two condoms as a deposit."
Zheng Yan straightened up and felt a blank in front of his eyes.
"Okay!" Meng Ci took out two things from his bag readily, but did not give them to Zheng Yan.
Under Zheng Yan's puzzled gaze, Meng Ci explained: "What if I give you the things and you take them and run away!"
Zheng Yan quickly raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, brother. We will never take the things and run away."
"If you do it, you will be punished by God."
Moreover, when Zheng Yan and his colleagues do business, the most important thing is integrity.
We all live in a base. If there is a breach of integrity, it will probably spread throughout the base very quickly, and then it will be difficult to gain a foothold here.
They make a living by speculating in trade and will never do anything that would affect their reputation.
Meng Ci didn't believe in things like swearing.
"You want me to believe you, that's fine!"
"Bring me your points card. I'll keep it for you."
The points card is equivalent to an ID card in the Xishan Wild Base. It is not only needed to redeem points or exchange items, but also when leaving the base.
And they are all real-name authenticated. If they run away, you can use this thing to report them to the authorities.
Of course, it’s not just the Xishanye base that he can’t stay in. Another base in City M, which also has information interconnected with this base, is also where Zheng Yan can’t live.
Unless he is willing to become a refugee for a pack of cigarettes and two condoms.
When Zheng Yan heard that his points card was going to be confiscated, he hesitated.
After all, without the points card, not only could he not exchange it for food, he couldn’t even leave the base. How could he survive?
"If you don't want to, forget it." Meng Ci said, putting the things back into the bag.
Zheng Yan watched the cigarette and condom disappear in front of him, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
At worst, I can let the boss take care of me for a few days.
He brought such a big business to the boss, the boss shouldn't be so stingy.
Moreover, if you want to exchange your points card for something, you need not only a password but also a fingerprint, so you don’t have to worry about it being stolen by the two people in front of you.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yan took out the points card and handed it to Meng Ci.
Since Meng Ci suddenly proposed to confiscate the points card, he was not worried that Zheng Yanyan would use a fake card to deceive him.
So Meng Ci handed the cigarette and condom to Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan took the things and saw that the two items were well packaged, so he carefully put them into his pocket.
"Brother, our boss said five days. No matter whether we can get it or not, we will let you know after five days." Zheng Yan said.
"Okay." Meng Ci responded.
