There were already a large amount of supplies in the Nevada warehouse, and Colonel Beach had the logistics department transport some varieties that were not available here from warehouses elsewhere.

Don't doubt the capabilities of the logistics department; they are very powerful and were able to support the movement of tens of millions of troops.

A week passed quickly.

Today is the first day of the "Post-War Supplies Sales Expo". Many people drove here, and by noon there were nearly a thousand people here.

It seems that there are not as many people as when selling jeeps, but now the people who come are not private buyers, and they are not just buying a car. They are all businesses.

At the same time, Colonel Beach's sales team was also on high alert.

People were waiting for the door to open, standing under the car and chatting, looking at the desolate desert around them. Someone said, "Why did you choose such a remote place like Nevada? It would be better if it was on the East Coast."

Why was the expo held in Nevada?

Because this place is the closest to Las Vegas, people who come here must first fly to Las Vegas and then drive here.

These businessmen are generally wealthy. Since they come to Las Vegas, how can they not go to the casino?

Since we were going to the casino, we would definitely go to the most luxurious and lively Hardy's Hotel. In the past two days, Hardy's Casino's business has been much better than usual.

Hardy calculated everything he could.

There were no speeches and no opening ceremony.

The event started as soon as the gate opened. People swarmed into the huge warehouse to look for materials that interested them. The warehouse was brightly lit, and two rows of lights were added specially for this event.

Items are placed on the shelves, each with a label and price. There are also Colonel Beach's sales staff around, and you can ask them at any time if you want to know about a product.

Most of the merchants who come here have their own areas of expertise. Some come here specifically to look at weapons, so they don't go to the equipment area; some come here specifically to look at equipment, so they don't look at weapons.

Two businessmen were looking through military uniforms and blankets.

"This wool blanket is pretty good, but the color is a bit ugly. However, at the price of $3.5, someone should be willing to buy it. After all, a real wool blanket costs $12." said one person.

The person next to him thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. We can just get a quilt cover and put the blanket inside so that the original color can't be seen. Quilt covers are not expensive."

"Yes, that's right. We need a batch of wool blankets." He said as he wrote down the quantity in his notebook.

Someone is looking through the clothes.

Navy winter sweater, winter undershirt, socks, military boots, scarf, leather gloves, field shoes, military trousers.

They were thinking about how to sell these when they got back.

It was cheap, but the only problem was that they were all green. If they weren't soldiers, no one would wear them. Suddenly, a guy said, "We can buy some, contact the factory, and use them as work clothes for the workers."

"That's a good idea. Let's get a batch and give it a try," agreed the companion.

Some people were looking through the Air Force jackets. I have to say that these jackets are really beautiful. Someone ordered a batch and planned to take them back to sell for trial.

The gun area is the busiest. Half of the merchants come here for these weapons. In the United States, weapons are never outdated. Old weapons are still liked by people and many people collect them. The weapons sold here by Hardy are low in price. These merchants only need to take them back and sort them out a little and then sell them for a good price.

It is no problem to make several times the profit.

Revolvers, rifles, carbines, submachine guns, automatic pistols, machine guns, and more.

There were even weapons captured from the Japanese and German armies. It was quite a mess, but these people liked it very much.

Various types of cars are also popular.

The jeeps are sold out, but there are plenty of other vehicles here, including armored combat vehicles, tractors, trailers, and more.

Someone asked the salesperson next to him, "Why are there no trucks?"

"All the trucks are sold out," said the salesman.

Trucks have a wide range of uses and are the most practical things. Hardy bought all the trucks early on and got them at the lowest price.

There are lively places and quiet places. There is an area with tents, mosquito nets,

Many people walked straight past when it came to kayaking and other items. As soon as someone stopped, the salesperson would approach them and enthusiastically promote the products.

"Does this gentleman need a tent or mosquito net? Kayaks are great, especially for family outings. These are perfect for a family camping by the river."

The businessman shook his head: "I guess few people are willing to live outside and feed mosquitoes."

"It can also be used for field prospecting, scientific investigations, animal observation, etc." the salesman continued.

“The sales volume is not high.”

"That's okay. We have no limit on quantity here. You can order dozens or even hundreds of sets." The salesman said with a smile.

Other salesmen were also working hard to sell.

"The explosives produced by DuPont Explosives are of very good quality and can be used for mining and crushing rocks. How much do you want? We have tens of thousands of tons."

"There's a big sale on fighters. A Mustang fighter is only $6,200, a P47 Thunder is only $8,800, and an F4F Wildcat is just over $4,000. If you buy them and start a flying club, you can definitely make a lot of money."

"Gas masks are absolutely necessary in special factories."

"Steel helmets can be used as safety helmets on construction sites."

"Typewriters, ice cream machines, ovens, can be used at home, or in bars and grocery stores, they have a wide range of uses."

"Does anyone want a first aid kit? First aid kits are cheap."

"Canned luncheon meat, canned beef, canned fish, all kinds of canned food..."

Some merchants select the goods and then place an order and sign a contract with the sales company, knowing the price at a glance.

As for shipping, Hardy does not provide free shipping.

You can pick up the goods yourself at a nearby warehouse, or you can ask the sales company to deliver them to you. Of course, the logistics fee will be charged separately, and the military will drive directly to your home.

In the evening, Colonel Beach came to Hardy excitedly with the summary of sales.

"Mr. Hardy, the sales data is out. Today we sold 23.5 million dollars worth of goods. I didn't sell as much as I did today in the past six months. This 'Post-War Supplies Sales Expo' you organized is really amazing."

Hardy was not as excited as Colonel Beach.

Looking at the data, the most popular items are guns and bullets, which account for half of the total sales. The United States does not ban guns, and guns are a necessity for the people. They are also easy to store. There are countless gun stores across the country, so it is not surprising to see such sales data.

The remaining half is very diverse, including almost everything, but the quantity is not large, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of items, and some are even only a few dozen sets.

Hardy shook his head helplessly.

"Mr. Hardy, you don't seem to be very satisfied with today's sales?" Colonel Beach asked cautiously.

"Beach, you've done a great job. I'm naturally happy that we were able to sell over 20 million dollars today. But have you ever thought about it? The things we need to deal with are worth more than 3 billion dollars according to the lowest price given by the military. Even if we sell 20 million this time, how long will it take to sell them all?"

"You have to know that today is the first day, so the number of orders will definitely be the highest. Tomorrow there won't be so many people, and people will pick the best-selling items, leaving the hard-to-sell items behind. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer customers, and sales will plummet."

"I'm wondering what to do with the remaining billions of supplies?"

Bitch's excitement suddenly disappeared. It was true. All the things people wanted had been picked up today, and fewer and fewer people were willing to take the remaining broken ones.

Hardy picked up the order and looked at it carefully.

He discovered that the sales of the cans were far below his expectations. He originally thought that they would sell at least millions, but they only sold hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Damn,

He only charged 4 cents for a can of luncheon meat and 8 cents for a can of beef. Other canned items were also just a few cents. But even at these prices, few people wanted them.

There is no other way.

Americans now live too luxuriously. They like to eat fresh food and don’t even want overnight bread, let alone food that has been stored for several years.

The merchants were afraid that they would not be able to sell it, so very few people wanted it.

As for those field meal sets, even fewer people bought them. They contained complete sets of items, and merchants had to unpack them and sort the items one by one after buying them. It was too troublesome, so only more than 2,000 sets of those field meal sets were sold in total.

However, there are two items that Hardy sold in greater quantities than he expected: medical kits and medical equipment.

The medical package sold 100,000 sets, which is no small number.

Medical equipment including glass syringes, infusion hoses, infusion bottles, lancets, surgical scalpels, arterial clamps, hemostatic forceps, suture needles and thread, sterile cotton wool, and measuring tape were also sold in large quantities.

And these things were bought from the same company.

This made Hardy a little confused. Who would buy so many medical devices at once? Could it have something to do with Asia?

Just as Hardy expected, the number of merchants who came the next day dropped sharply to only three or four hundred people, and the sales staff provided almost one-on-one service.

Today, we sold just over 4 million worth of supplies, and on the third day, it was even less.

Although Hardy was not satisfied with the result, Major General Williams was very happy. In just one month, more than 30 million worth of supplies were sold. He was very satisfied and even called Hardy to congratulate him.

After hanging up the phone, Hardy thought for a moment and said to Beach: "Although we can still sell some supplies every day, I think it's still too slow. I plan to expand overseas markets."

"Overseas market, where?"

"Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Asia," Hardy said.

Hardy had just returned to Los Angeles when he received a call from Bill, "Boss, something has been discovered in San Francisco."

"What's going on?"

"We have smuggling channels, don't we? Recently, our men discovered that someone was transporting a large amount of military supplies onto ships. I sent someone to secretly investigate, and found that there were a large number of firearms, some medical supplies, and a large number of medical kits."

Hardy suddenly remembered that someone had bought a large number of medical kits from him a few days ago.

"Do you know who it belongs to?"

"It's from the Tang people."
