When Su Tao got the five big bags of crystal cores, she was in a trance.
She quickly calculated in her mind that 1,050 crystal cores, plus the 200 crystal cores that had been consumed before, would just be enough to cover the entire West Third District.
It was originally planned that it would take half a year to collect the money, but less than half a month has passed.
Are the people along the coast and in the islands so rich?
Before Su Tao could even ask, the coastal representative and his deputy spilled the beans about their journey of searching for Tao Yang.
It was really a mixture of bitterness, sweetness and sorrow.
According to their description, the coastal areas and the archipelago were surprisingly united. Each base was both independent and an important part of the coastal alliance. They truly shared the same difficulties.
If someone's city is attacked by zombies, the five or six surrounding bases will come to support until the zombie tide is repelled.
Due to the lack of internal strife and mutual support, the more than 30 bases along the coast gradually showed a trend of mutual benefit and win-win. The more zombies they killed, the more they accumulated wealth.
But the coastal areas are somewhat remote after all, the land is not suitable for cultivation, and food and fresh water resources are relatively scarce.
Transport teams and merchant caravans from all over the north and south treated them like fat sheep and demanded crystal cores in exchange for anything they bought.
There was even a time when one crystal core was only enough to exchange for five bottles of water.
The people along the coast can no longer sit still. If this continues, no matter how wealthy they are, they will not be able to withstand such a situation.
So they decided to form a team and go deep inland to find suppliers of supplies at reasonable prices.
This team lived up to expectations and found out about Taoyang's existence.
In early October, representatives from the coastal areas were sent directly to Taoyang to investigate the situation.
In order to buy supplies as quickly as possible, we prepared the membership fee in advance. If the situation is true, we will place an order on the spot and ship it back to the coast as quickly as possible.
After saying this, Representative Wang, who carried the hopes of the entire village, asked Su Tao and Lin Fangzhi with some concern:
"Excuse me, will your base always sell supplies?"
If the supply is cut off, the tears of the coastal people will flood the sea.
Su Tao ignored his calling Taoyang "base" without blushing or beating her heart.
It wasn't even a gathering place, so she was too embarrassed to clarify the misunderstanding. She decided to just shamelessly pretend she didn't hear it.
One day Taoyang will apply for base qualification!
As for continuing to sell supplies, she didn't dare to make a promise. She was still thinking about closing the business for a while when she had earned enough money and crystal cores and had enough surplus.
Also, she planned to give Fang Zhi and his employees a short vacation in the near future.
After completing such a big KPI, we have to give them a break.
So Su Tao said seriously:
"For now, I will continue to sell it, but I can't guarantee what will happen in the next few years, ten years, or even a hundred years. In the end times, nothing is certain."
When Representative Wang heard this, he immediately became nervous.
Such a good supplier of supplies is hard to come by. It seems he has to send a message back, calling on all bases to buy more at one time, otherwise they might run out one day.
So the next day after the conversation, Representative Wang and his deputy came with their long order list.
When Lin Fangzhi saw the amount of supplies listed above, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Normally, he is already very busy with distribution, and he has to get up at five in the morning to start preparing with everyone.
With this huge order, will he still be able to sleep?
He still hasn't found the time to listen to Major General Shi's explanation.
Lin Fangzhi looked at Representative Wang and his deputy with an unfriendly look.
The two immediately said:
"We know there's a purchase limit, but it's okay. We'll make up for the excess with crystal cores, or even double the amount. Feel free to order."
Lin Fangzhi was silent for two seconds, then turned and left.
Taochi Business was extremely busy, and Su Tao was also working all night long.
After the three western districts are fully covered, we will enter the major construction phase.
It is also worth mentioning that just when she was worried about building a 125,000 square meter protective shield and needed a large amount of federal currency, the old leader allocated her 200 million yuan in construction funds in one go!
Two hundred million!
When Qian Rongrong received the money, she excitedly grabbed Xiao Yu next to her:
"Look, help me count how many zeros there are. Am I seeing things?"
Xiao Yu looked at her little hand holding his and could no longer count.
Qian Rongrong didn't really want to get an answer from him, so after asking, she flew to find Su Tao like a gust of wind:
"Sister Taozi, is this true? Are these all for us? Oh my God."
Su Tao has already passed the excitement:
"Although we've allocated 200 million yuan, I still want to give you a heads-up. When the time comes to build a protective shield for the West Third District, we'll have to spend 125 million yuan in one go."
The old leader really considers everything from her perspective. I don’t know how long these 200 million yuan will be Dongyang’s fiscal revenue. I’m afraid it will empty the family’s assets.
No matter what, she had to complete the comprehensive construction of the West Third District without wasting an inch of land.
Also working day and night are District Chief Xie and many engineers from the West Third District.
Because Taoyang completed the task of collecting crystal cores ahead of schedule, their drawings were not yet finished, so they had to work overtime and draw desperately.
As a result, the entire Taoyang and Dongyang were filled with an atmosphere of hard work and striving for progress.
Granny Yu struck while the iron was hot. Not only did she improve the crystal energy gun day and night, she also grabbed everyone she met, no matter if they were Taoyang's employees or tenants, and urged them on. She believed that in life, there were only a few chances to fight, and if not now, when?
As a result, tenants in Taoyang became more serious when going to work in Dongyang during the day.
This made Shi Zijin seem even more idle.
He couldn't see Su Tao during the day, and Su Tao fell asleep at night.
Although they could see each other every day, they couldn't exchange a single word, which made him inexplicably feel the hardship of being in a foreign place.
Since no one was talking and it was really boring, he took the initiative to find Lin Fangzhi and expressed his desire to explain his current situation.
Lin Fangzhi said yes, but he turned around and started snoring. After a while, he even started talking in his sleep:
"Twenty thousand cartons of mineral water, seven thousand cartons of bread, and twelve thousand cartons of instant noodles, destroy them."
