Afterwards, Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan to Iraq, where they purchased 300 million yuan worth of crude oil from a local factory and offered a high processing fee to help with the refining and processing. The oil was then sorted, stored, and the delivery was arranged to be picked up a month later.
Shen Yanming also ordered two gasoline generators and two diesel generators from Iraq.
Austria is a major grain-producing country, so Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan directly to Austria to purchase a batch of grain: 100,000 jin of rice, 100,000 jin of wheat flour, 100,000 jin of cornmeal, 100,000 jin of millet, 100,000 jin of soybean oil, 50,000 jin of soybeans, 50,000 jin of peanuts, 50,000 jin of mung beans, 20,000 jin of red beans, 20,000 jin of black beans, 20,000 jin of glutinous rice, 10,000 jin each of dried black fungus and dried white fungus, 10,000 jin each of brown sugar, white sugar, and salt...
Even if they don't farm in the future, Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming could never finish eating all of this in their lifetime.
Since Austria has grain, it must also have plenty of fruits and vegetables. Shen Yanming directly ordered another batch of fresh fruits and vegetables from the local area. He would buy as many as they were fresh.
Shen Yanming also purchased a large number of high-quality grain and vegetable/fruit seeds in Austria.
Shen Yanming had the grain and seeds delivered to a pre-rented suburban warehouse, which he planned to collect before leaving.
Austrian wool is famous, and wool has excellent warmth retention properties. Therefore, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan purchased tens of thousands of kilograms of wool yarn in Austria. The patterns were all selected by Bi Qiaoan, and they are very elegant colors.
Bi Qiaoan also took Shen Yanming to a clothing factory, where they bought about a hundred sweaters of various sizes and dozens of woolen coats. Before leaving, Bi Qiaoan, for reasons unknown, went to a fabric factory and bought over a hundred bolts of woolen fabric in various colors.
They were all sent to the warehouse, stored in the storage space late at night, and then rushed to the airport overnight.
Next, Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan to Liguo, a country famous for its machinery manufacturing. There, they bought threshing machines, flour mills, tillers, harvesters, and more—one fuel-powered and one solar-powered. Later, Bi Qiaoan thought about it and asked Shen Yanming to buy her a set of hand-operated flour mills.
Afterwards, the two went to Caracas, a country famous for its vehicles, and bought a motorhome, two small vans, and ten SUVs. Caracas is not only famous for its vehicles, but also for its shipbuilding industry, which is well-developed due to its coastal location.
Under Bi Qiaoan's puzzled gaze, Shen Yanming bought a small cruise ship, ten kayaks, ten speedboats, and two small hand-cranked wooden boats.
“We’ve only been in the apocalypse for three years. Who knows what it will be like in three years? It’s better to be prepared,” Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan explained.
Bi Qiaoan thought it made a lot of sense and expressed her support.
After purchasing a large quantity of seafood in Karl, Shen Yanming and his companion left under cover of night.
The next stop for the two was the country of Ai, known as the romantic city. Ai is most famous for its clothing, chocolate, and wine. Shen Yanming had rented three warehouses in a sparsely populated area in advance.
Shen Yanming contacted several clothing factories in Aiguo and directly selected suitable clothes from their existing inventory. There were clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, including short sleeves, trousers, down jackets, skirts, trench coats and leather coats. He bought one of each style in every size. People in Aiguo are tall, so all the men's clothing sizes were the right ones, and all the women's clothing sizes were the right ones.
As for underwear, since people in Aiguo are generally plump, even their underwear tends to be designed for fuller figures. Shen Yanming didn't think too much about it when he bought it; he just bought a set of each style and planned to choose more carefully after returning to China.
After this shopping spree, the two acquired tens of thousands of men's and women's clothing items, thousands of sets of women's underwear, and several thousand pairs of men's and women's underwear—a truly bountiful haul.
Of course, they couldn't just buy coats. The two went to a factory and bought thousands of sets of thermal underwear and thermal undershirts.
There were also shoes. Since we didn't have time to buy shoes for them slowly, we found a few sports shoe factories and asked them to take one pair of each style and size, sort them out, and send them to the warehouse.
In the apocalypse, sneakers are generally considered to be comfortable shoes, suitable for both work and walking. Therefore, Shen Yanming focuses on sneakers. As for leather shoes, sandals, and high heels, there is no need to buy them in large quantities. He can just go to the mall often and buy a few pairs.
Aiguo's chocolate is world-famous. Shen Yanming picked out the four most famous brands in Aiguo, went directly to the factory, and ordered a thousand boxes of chocolate for each flavor. He also ordered a large quantity of small snacks such as chocolate candies and chocolate egg rolls, which filled a whole warehouse. Bi Qiaoan could eat chocolate every day and still not finish it in her lifetime.
Shen Yanming also asked the locals to help him buy two cocoa trees. Although he hadn't learned how to make chocolate yet, it was good to have the raw materials in hand in advance.
At the Aiguo Winery, Bi Qiaoan saw a yard full of grapevines, with tempting red and green grapes hanging on them, making Bi Qiaoan's mouth water.
Unfortunately, the grapes won't ripen for another month or so. Right now, the ones on the vines just look nice, but they taste incredibly sour.
Shen Yanming came to buy red wine. The wine here was excellent, though the price was also quite high. Shen Yanming didn't dwell on the price, since it was uncertain whether he would ever have such top-quality wine again.
After some haggling, Shen Yanming packed up and took away tens of thousands of bottles of red wine from the cellar. The winery owner, seeing that Bi Qiaoan liked grapes, even specially broke off some branches to give to Bi Qiaoan.
After all the goods arrived, under the cover of night, Shen Yanming put all the items into his storage space, except for the two cocoa trees and a few grapevines.
Bi Qiaoan planted the cocoa trees and grapevines in the space, but due to time constraints, she could only build a simple trellis for the grapevines.
Having made great progress in Ireland, Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming once again left under cover of night, this time returning to Iraq. A month had passed, and it was time to go to Iraq to collect the goods.
