"Hey guys, prepare a batch of steel pipes? What are these things used for?"
"If you ask me, Brother Su Qing, you should just go out and get some powerful weapons."
"Those guys dared to act so presumptuously, Brother Xie, just shoot them all!"
Xu Huaping: Expressions of an elderly man on the subway looking at his phone.jpeg.
What is the use of steel pipes? Can they kill people?
She couldn't understand! "Ahem, don't say that."
Su Qing spat out a mouthful of tea and almost choked himself to death.
It's okay to buy steel pipes, no big problem.
It’s better to take your time before buying a killer weapon.
"What I'm curious about is, how strong is the Silver level?"
"Can you kill with a gun?"
Xiao Yichen scratched his head and asked curiously.
"Well, after the end of the world, thermal weapons are no longer effective. I don't know if thermal weapons are useful."
"But the Silver level is currently the most powerful in the world. I have never heard of anyone stronger than that."
"Take me as an example. I am a silver-level physical enhancement mutant with a punch force of 25 tons, a speed of 180m/s, and a maximum lifespan of 300 years."
"Endurance, defense, recovery ability, and five senses have all been further improved. Even the slightest movement ten miles away cannot escape the perception of a silver-level psychic."
"If he attacks with all his strength, he can destroy a hundred-meter-high building with just one punch or one kick. He is truly a city-destroying warrior."
"As for the elemental, mysterious, and rule-based superpowers of the same level, their abilities will only be stronger, more bizarre, and more difficult to defend against."
"I have estimated that using hot weapons is not as simple and effective as using steel pipes."
"With a steel pipe in hand, you can throw it to any location within a ten-mile radius within one second."
"If I carry ten tons of sharpened steel pipes with me, I can instantly transform myself into a mobile artillery platform."
"Even if the other side has three strong men of the same level, I am not afraid!"
Xie Yuanshan's purchase of steel pipes from Su Qing was also a well-considered decision.
It is still unclear whether thermal weapons can work, and Su Qing has no way to purchase them.
It’s better to have the steel pipe that you can find everywhere. With one pipe in hand, the world is mine!
Of course, at this time of the end of the world, there are no intact steel pipes to be found, as they have long been dismantled and made into weapons.
"Hiss, a punch, 25 tons?"
"If you hit me, I'll be a meat pie!"
Xu Huaping and Xiao Yichen both gasped at the same time, shocked beyond words.
It’s so scary!
"Ojbk, thanks for waiting for two days, I'll place the order now."
After Su Qing finished speaking, he closed the chat group.
"Well, in that case, I have to help Brother Xie purchase a batch of thickened steel pipes to justify the ten kilograms of gold he sent over."
For a god of wealth like Xie Yuanshan who would start with ten kilograms of gold, Su Qing said, "Give me another dozen! " Taking out his mobile phone to check, the same type of steel pipe has a very different price due to different thicknesses.
Taking DN25 as an example, the most common thickness is 2mm, and the general price is 4,800 yuan/ton.
3mm and 5mm ones are rare and more expensive, costing 6,800 yuan and 9,800 yuan per ton respectively.
"Oh, there's a steel mill in this county? Then I don't have to go to other places."
"The price is quite affordable and they can accept customization. I'll choose this one."
After some searching, Su Qing found a local steel factory called Zihao in Linjiang.
There is a 24-hour sales hotline on the Internet, so he just called it.
"Hello, welcome to the Electronic Hao Steel Factory. I am the sales manager Li Zihao."
The call was quickly connected and a mature male voice sounded.
Li Zihao. Zihao Steel Factory? Su Qing thought, maybe it's the boss himself. "Hello, Manager Li. I need to order a batch of steel pipes."
"Hello, hello, we are Zihao Steel Factory."
"I need about ten tons of DN25 type 5mm thick seamless special-shaped steel pipes, cut into two, five meters each, and cut one end of each pipe at a 45-degree angle to sharpen it into a javelin shape."
"I only have two questions: whether it can be done and when it can be delivered. Price is not an issue."
After listening to the introduction patiently, Su Qing asked concisely.
"Yes, I can. It can be delivered before 5 pm tomorrow. The price is negotiable. I'll give you 9,500. How about that?"
The breathing on the other end of the phone became noticeably heavier, and he quickly replied, "By the way, within this county, we deliver to your door for free."
As Su Qing expected, Li Zihao was indeed the owner of the steel factory, and the factory was also a workshop-style family business.
The overall environment has been bad in the past two years, the construction industry has entered a period of decline, and the steel business has been greatly affected and has plummeted.
In order to keep the factory going, he personally served as sales manager and traveled around to attract business.
Although the current order is only ten tons, it can solve the urgent problem for the time being.
"Okay, then I want eleven tons. I'll transfer you a deposit of ten thousand yuan first, and you send me your bank account number."
One ton costs 9,500 yuan, and ten tons costs 95,000 yuan. In order to reach the task quota of 100,000 yuan, Su Qing had to add one ton.
After receiving the other party's account number, Su Qing transferred 10,000 yuan.
"I received the deposit. Thank you, boss. The goods will be delivered to your door at 5 pm tomorrow."
Soon, I received a message from the other party.
"It seems that I have to rent a warehouse"
Su Qing did not reply to the other party, but suddenly thought of a question.
Ten tons of steel pipes! He couldn't possibly put them into his personal space in front of everyone.
"It just so happens that Zihao Steel Factory is in the economic development zone in the east of the city."
"I'll go over there tomorrow morning to see if there are any unused warehouses for rent."
Su Qing opened the map software and found the location of Zihao Steel Factory, he thought to himself.
"I have a feeling that Brother Xie's troubles this time may not end so soon."
The survivors in the surrounding bases learned that Xie Yuanshan had a large amount of food. How could they give up so easily? Human nature is greedy, and they worry about scarcity and inequality.
When everyone is hungry, no one will have any complaints.
But we are all starving, but you can have enough to eat, so don't blame us for being jealous.
Otherwise, Xie Yuanshan would kill all those who knew about the incident to wipe out the root of the problem.
Or, he would take out the food and divide it equally so that everyone could have enough to eat.
Otherwise, these people will never stop.
The batch of steel pipes in front of us can only be regarded as appetizers before the big battle.
Therefore, Su Qing decided to rent a warehouse for a long time to avoid the trouble of renting it temporarily every time.
"It's such a happy decision, go to sleep!"
After figuring it out, Su Qing yawned and went back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, Su Qing drove to the East Cheng Economic Development Zone.
After searching for half a day, I finally found a large unused warehouse.
It should be an abandoned factory building, about two thousand square meters.
There is a small yard in front of the door for convenient parking.
Su Qing found the landlord and discussed the price, and finally finalized it.
0.25 yuan/square meter/day, minimum rental period is half a year.
The total cost is 15,000 yuan per month, which is more than five times cheaper than the one Su Qing rented in the provincial capital last time.
Su Qing signed a one-year contract with the other party, paid a deposit of one third of the rent, and got the key.
Everything is ready, just waiting to pick up the goods.
