Chapter 2: Stock up the day before the end of the world! Stock up! …
The three of them separated early the next morning.
Qiao’s supermarket is opposite the residential area where we live.
Qiao Xinghe first gave all employees paid leave in the name of renovation.
Then contact real estate agents you know.
"Brother Qiao, what can I do for you?" Wang Zhongjie received a call just as he was about to go to work.
"Xiao Wang, I have a house in the school district of Experimental High School on Zhenxing Street, and I want to sell it urgently."
"That's a hot property, with a market price of around $2.7 million. In a little over a month, another batch of new students will be enrolled. Let me sell this property, and I guarantee it will fetch more than $2.8 million."
Wang Zhongjie was a little excited. If this order was successful, he could get at least tens of thousands in commission.
"I can give it to you, but I'm in urgent need of money. The transfer must be completed within a week. I only want 2 million, and any amount you can get is yours."
There must be a brave man under a huge sum of money, and Qiao Xinghe perfectly grasps the other person's heart.
"Really?" Wang Zhongjie couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true."
"Okay, leave it to me, don't worry, I will definitely get it done within a week."
"Wait for your good news."
"Wife, we are going to get rich!" As soon as Wang Zhongjie hung up the phone, he hugged the woman who was putting on her shoes and getting ready for work.
"What?"
Finally, Qiao Xinghe contacted the various suppliers of goods with whom he had been trading.
"Boss Niu, it's me, Qiao Xinghe. I just met a client from the south who needs a large amount of grain, oil and seasoning."
"Mr. Qiao, please tell me how much you need and I will prepare it right away."
"10 tons of rice, 10 tons of flour, 1 ton each of millet, black rice, sorghum rice, green rice, oats and other grains. Three tons each of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc.
Customized packaging is required, one bag per 100 catties.
We bought 1,000 barrels of 50-liter oil, including soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, etc.
600 kilograms of salt and 300 kilograms of various sugars including brown sugar and white sugar.
One ton each of soy sauce, cooking wine, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, aged vinegar, white vinegar, etc.
Other seasonings, including chicken essence, MSG, chili powder, pepper, Sichuan pepper, star anise, fennel, etc., totaling 500 kilograms.
There are also various semi-finished seasonings: hot pot base, barbecue seasoning, marinated meat seasoning, sauerkraut fish seasoning, various sauces, etc., 500 kilograms each.
All seasonings except grains and oils need to be customized in uniform packaging, with 50 kilograms in a box.
..."
"Mr. Qiao, this is quite a lot."
"Yes, that's why I'm looking for you, Mr. Niu. I need it urgently and it must be shipped within a week. Could you please help me?" Qiao Xinghe knew that the other party would definitely agree.
"No problem. You pay a deposit of one third first and I'll have it ready for you within three days and ready to ship at any time."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After another round of greetings, Qiao Xinghe paid the deposit, which cost a total of 500,000 yuan. Fortunately, the goods were sufficient and there was no need to go anywhere else.
He called the livestock slaughter company again.
Order 100 large livestock including cattle, sheep, pigs, horses and donkeys, and 600 small livestock including chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, all of which are ready for processing.
A box of 320 eggs contains 100 boxes of quail eggs, 50 boxes of duck eggs and 50 boxes of goose eggs.
In addition, I also bought a large amount of chicken feet, chicken wings, duck necks, duck intestines, beef tripe, pig's trotters, etc.
Since the animals are killed and cleaned immediately and are vacuum-packed, it takes a week.
This price is much cheaper than outside, and the deposit for one-third is 700,000.
Called the seafood market again.
We bought a total of 2,000 fish of various kinds, 1,000 kilograms of various shrimps, 500 kilograms of various shellfish such as clams, cockles, oysters, etc., and 500 kilograms of each type of crabs.
Everything is cleaned up and ready for cooking. I even bought some seedlings.
This part can be prepared in seven days, and it costs one-third of the deposit of 200,000 yuan.
After finishing the staple food and meat, we contacted the vegetable and fruit wholesalers.
The supermarket’s vegetable and fruit suppliers have always been from several nearby villages, so the prices are naturally much cheaper than outside.
3 tons of various vegetables including spinach, lettuce, celery, cabbage, etc.;
1 ton of cucumbers, wax gourds, pumpkins and other melons;
One ton of eggplant, radish, beans, etc.;
1 ton of various fungi such as shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and black fungus;
There are 2 tons of various seasonings including onions, ginger, garlic, etc.
…
The fruits we selected are mainly the varieties that my family likes to eat.
Apples, pears, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, bananas, oranges, mangosteens, peaches, grapes, lychees, watermelons, cantaloupes, etc., a total of 5,000 kilograms were purchased.
This part is delivered every day and can be delivered in seven days. The deposit for one-third is 50,000 yuan.
Based on the daily water requirement of 2 liters per person, a family of three would need 108,000 liters of water in 50 years.
Directly customize the specification of 100 liters per barrel of water, order 1,000 barrels of mineral water, and buy 100 empty barrels of 100 liters.
The goods can be delivered in three days, and the deposit is 20,000 yuan.
Next are some daily necessities such as facial cleanser, shampoo, shower gel, toilet paper, tissue paper, hot packs, hot water bottles, etc., all of which are enough to last for 50 years.
Ten generators, air conditioners, fans, air purifiers, etc.
Qiao Xinghe was making notes while on the phone.
After calculation in the evening, the total cost of food, water, daily necessities, etc. was 5.6 million.
Qiao Huizhou works in a museum. Compared with other departments, her job is easy.
She went to work first and used her 15 days of annual leave in one go.
Then go to a medical device company on the outskirts of the city to purchase medicines.
10 boxes each of antipyretics, cold medicines, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, stomach medicines, Yunnan Baiyao, various vitamin calcium tablets, antibiotics and various medicines for sudden illnesses, bandages, Band-Aids, etc.

1,000 each of N95 masks and gas masks.
As well as 50 each of the following medical devices including blood pressure monitors, blood glucose monitors, electronic thermometers, stethoscopes, ventilators, wheelchairs, toilets, etc.
The total cost was 300,000 yuan, and the goods were delivered directly to the supermarket at home.
It’s not that I don’t want to buy more, but without a medical license, this is the limit of what an individual can buy.
She plans to go to a new medical company every day to continue making purchases.
Go to the clothing company in the afternoon.
100 sets of clothing for spring and autumn, 200 sets of clothing for summer, and 100 sets of clothing for winter.

This part cost a total of 300,000 yuan, using the same specifications of standard No. 1 cartons (530*290*370mm), and delivered directly to the supermarket.
…
Qiao Qiao sucked the cat for a long time before going out.
She found the best decoration company in the city with very attractive prices on the Internet and took a taxi there.
There were quite a few guests in the house, and each of them was accompanied by a staff member in a suit.
Perhaps because Qiao Qiao looked young and didn't seem to be able to afford the expenses, no one welcomed her warmly.
There was even a staff member in his 40s who just glanced at her and walked past her and walked straight towards a couple who had just entered the room behind them.
"Heh." Qiao Qiao found it a little funny. She thought this kind of situation would only happen in luxury stores in TV dramas, but she didn't expect to encounter it herself.
"Hello? What can I do for you?" Just then, a young man who looked to be about 20 years old came over.
"My house needs some redecorating and some renovations," Jojo replied.
"Please come over here with me, sit down and explain your needs in detail." The boy said enthusiastically. "My last name is Lu, you can just call me Xiaolu."
"Xiaolu, I advise you not to do this. That girl doesn't look like she has graduated from college yet, and she's not wearing branded clothes. How can she afford to buy a house and renovate it? You might as well find another client with that kind of time."
Xiaolu was about to get a bottle of water for a customer. On the way back, he met a "veteran" senior who was lecturing him and looked at Qiao Qiao with contempt.
"Brother Zhang, everyone who enters the store is a customer. I'd better go ask." Xiaolu has always disliked this senior, who always relies on his age to lecture newcomers, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and snatches new customers. But he didn't dare to offend him obviously, so he could only respond with a few words and leave quickly.
Qiao Qiao found a slightly secluded corner and sat down. Xiaolu handed her a bottle of mineral water attentively and did not forget to unscrew the cap.
"What is the layout of your home? Do you have any specific needs?"
"My home is on the top floor of a two-family building. The first floor is a 90-square-meter apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The second floor is a loft with one bedroom, one bathroom and an outdoor sun room.
I need the entire house to be re-waterproofed, insulated and soundproofed, using only the best materials.
The roof was re-installed with solar panels, all the glass was replaced with bulletproof glass, and the main door was replaced with a thickened explosion-proof door.
Re-lay a layer of electric floor heating. Not only can you use federal heating, but you can also use electricity for heating at home.
A fireplace is installed in the indoor living room, a brick bed is installed in the upstairs bedroom, and the sunroom is transformed into a smart greenhouse.
The underground garage also needs to be renovated, and like the upstairs, it needs to be insulated, waterproofed, and soundproofed. The door also needs to be replaced with the best explosion-proof door.
It was done in a week.”
In fact, she had other ideas, but unfortunately time was tight and she could only do the most important ones.
After Qiao Qiao finished speaking, Xiaolu was so surprised that he was speechless.
"What? You can't do it?" Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, of course we can, but the price?" Xiaolu realized that he might have received a big client and asked cautiously.
"Money is not a problem. We just need to use the best materials and complete it within a week," said Qiao Qiao.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Xiaolu took out a thick notebook from his bag and quickly searched through it.
"The best waterproof material available now is polymer, which costs 40 yuan per square meter.
The best insulation material is melamine foam, which costs 30 yuan per square meter;
Sound insulation materials can be matched with sound insulation felt and gypsum board. Sound insulation board is suitable for walls and floors. Sound-absorbing cotton does not contain adhesives and releases zero formaldehyde. It is currently the best environmentally friendly and efficient material for heat preservation and sound insulation. If all are matched, the price is 30 yuan per square meter.
The price of 27mm thick bulletproof glass used specifically in banks is around 800 yuan per square meter.
The price of our company’s best explosion-proof door is 100,000 yuan.”
After listening to this, Qiao Qiao thought about it for a while and found that it was similar to the information he had found on the Internet.
"Please help calculate the total price, the lowest price! If you are undecided, you can ask your manager. If it is suitable, we can sign the contract today."
"Okay, please wait a moment." After hearing this, Xiaolu immediately ran to the manager and explained the situation in a low voice.
"Hello, I'm the manager of Home Inn Decoration Company, my last name is Wang."
"Hello."
"I already understand your needs. The price for the complete renovation is 1.2 million, including the smart greenhouse hall and solar panels. You don't need to pay again. As you know, one week is really tight, so we have to raise the workers' wages."
"1.1 million. Sign now if you're okay." Qiao Qiao took a look at the contract and found that she needed to pay half of the deposit in advance.
"...Okay, I'll give you a discount."
"When can we start work?" Qiao Qiao interrupted the manager's greetings.
“The designers can start measuring the data now and officially start work tomorrow,” the manager said seriously.
"Okay." Qiao Qiao sat and waited for the designer team to arrive.
Half an hour later, Qiao Qiao and the designer team were ready to leave. Before leaving, they turned around and said, "Manager, this young man is good. He has strong business skills and is enthusiastic. He should be given a raise."
After everyone's cars drove away, the manager turned around and patted Xiaolu, "Not bad, kid, you've negotiated a big deal, wait for your bonus."
Xiaolu smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the manager."
