The other party hesitated for a moment, then said:
"We are a legitimate water treatment plant. Is your water bottle certified?"
He underestimated the girl, thinking she was just a nobody who had taken over the Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket, but he never expected that she could actually bring him 40,000 mineral water bottles.
However, the production process of this mineral water is different from that of ordinary water bottles that are simply filled with water.
It's not just about water quality, but also about cleanliness.
If some shady factory produces mineral water bottles from waste plastic, the water treatment plant wouldn't dare accept them.
"Qualifications?"
Hua Mi hadn't noticed this yet. Just as she was about to look for it, she found a thick stack of mineral water bottle qualification certificates popping up on her control panel.
How could a Level 1 factory in this post-apocalyptic supermarket possibly lack the necessary qualifications?!
"Yes, of course I have it, and it's even UN certified."
Hua Mi, holding the stack of qualification certificates whose authenticity was unknown, smiled and said:
"Don't worry, if there's something wrong with Aquarius's origins, then I'll just suffer the consequences of the apocalypse!"
The supplier then agreed with great gratitude and gave Hua Mi an address.
She immediately took out a large truck from the warehouse, loaded it with empty mineral water bottles, and sped towards the mineral water factory.
The supplier and the factory manager of the mineral water plant were standing anxiously at the factory gate, waiting for Hua Mi's mineral water bottles.
When the supplier saw the large truck that Hua Mi was driving, he felt that it looked quite familiar.
But the mineral water factory was waiting to start operations, so they couldn't worry about that anymore.
As soon as Hua Mi's truck came to a stop, the factory manager carefully checked the qualification certificates that Hua Mi had brought and immediately called on the strong young men in the factory to jump onto the truck and move the bottles.
The water purification machines were readily available. The supplier used a calculator to do some of the math for Hua Mi, and the cost of the bottle was offset by the price of the mineral water. In total, it only cost a few cents per bottle.
"The factory manager said that if you can supply our mineral water factory with mineral water bottles on a long-term basis, we'll buy these bottles from you at 30 cents each."
As the supplier spoke, he wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at Hua Mi cautiously.
As if afraid that Hua Mi would refuse, he smiled wryly again:
“The mineral water bottle manufacturing plants in Xiangcheng have all been destroyed by the earthquake. If we were to temporarily import bottles from other places, the cost would be more than 30 cents per bottle. How about it? Please help us out.”
Of course, there are more than one mineral water bottle manufacturing factory in the world, but this is the only large mineral water bottle factory in Xiangcheng.
The factory manager explained:
“We are a legitimate water treatment plant, producing tens of thousands of bottles of mineral water every day. Ordinary small factories simply cannot provide us with so many mineral water bottles.”
"Okay, then you can prioritize making 100,000 bottles of mineral water for me."
Hua Mi appeared very generous; it was just a mineral water bottle, she could have as many as she wanted.
The supplier and the factory manager looked at each other, and the factory manager agreed without hesitation.
100,000 bottles of mineral water—that's a huge business opportunity, no matter where you are.
The two parties quickly drafted a contract. They could deliver 10,000 bottles of mineral water to Hua Mi tonight, and with the capacity of their water plant, they could deliver all 40,000 bottles of mineral water by tomorrow morning.
Hua Mi paid the deposit and waited in the factory manager's office, just in time to leave with 10,000 bottles of mineral water.
During her break, her WeChat notification rang.
Hua Mi thought it was Fang Xin asking her for money, but when she looked, it turned out to be Gong Yi, whom she had just added as a friend not long ago.
"What's wrong?"
Because the other party was a rescue team, and there was a certain inexplicable familiarity between them, Hua Mi patiently answered Gong Yi's voice message.
Gong Yi frowned on the other end of the phone and asked:
"You're not in the store?"
"No, do you want to buy water?"
Hua Mi felt that Gong Yi only had this one reason for contacting her.
On the other end of the phone, Gong Yi was silent for a moment.
"You mean you still have water for sale?"
Hua Mi was quite pleased.
"Yes, I have plenty of bottled water, enough for your rescue team to drink."
"Then sell me another 20,000 bottles. Do you have that many?"
"Haha, only 20,000 bottles, three yuan per bottle, do you have that much money?"
Gong Yi on the other end of the phone laughed. At times like this, after two consecutive earthquakes, the price of bottled water in all supermarkets in Xiangcheng had increased.
Let alone a bottle of mineral water that costs three yuan, even if it costs thirty yuan, Gong Yi would buy it.
They agreed on a delivery location near the mineral water bottle factory that had been shut down, a place with convenient transportation.
By this time it was already quite dark, and the ten thousand bottles of mineral water freshly produced from the assembly line were packed and loaded onto Hua Mi's truck.
She had already arranged with Gong Yi to deliver 10,000 bottles of mineral water to him first.
The remaining 10,000 bottles of mineral water will be delivered tomorrow morning.
Because there were only two earthquakes, and only the neighborhood where Hua Mi lived and the water bottle factory collapsed, Hua Mi drove a truck carrying 10,000 bottles of mineral water and rushed to the rescue team's location overnight.
It was a large, makeshift rescue center. Hua Mi didn't see Gong Yi; a young man from the rescue team greeted her instead.
The young man said:
"The boss has gone to provide relief; an earthquake has struck outside the city."
Another earthquake.
Hua Mi nodded without saying anything, only instructing the young man to accept the 10,000 bottles of mineral water from the truck.
"This has really helped us a lot."
The young man called over a few people, and while unloading the goods, he looked at Hua Mi with gratitude.
"You have no idea, our logistics department tried everything, but we just couldn't buy bottled water. The only water plant in Xiangcheng said they didn't have any bottled water, so they couldn't make any water. Our logistics department had to go to the next city to buy water, but they said it wouldn't be able to get the goods until the day after tomorrow."
However, the survivors rescued in the past two days need water and cannot wait even a day longer.
If there isn't enough water, it will cause even bigger problems.
Hua Mi smiled reassuringly:
"It's alright. The only water plant in Xiangcheng sold all its water to me because I'm the only one with mineral water bottles. Your boss sold 20,000 bottles of mineral water to me. Don't worry, you'll have enough to last until the logistics department comes to purchase more from the neighboring city."
"so much......"
The young man was somewhat surprised. There were only a little over three thousand survivors here. Did they really need so much mineral water?
As it turns out, it was necessary!
And it's absolutely necessary!!
Because the earthquakes that occur in the suburbs are not aftershocks, but rather the beginning of a series of disasters that will inevitably follow the first earthquake.
"Then, I'll settle the bill for you."
The young man took out his phone and transferred 30,000 yuan to Hua Mi.
Although he felt that there was far too much mineral water to drink, his boss had instructed him to pay the bill for Hua Mi.
After receiving the money, Hua Mi patiently waited for the prompt from the [Apocalypse Supermarket - Cashier System]. She was in a hurry to use the money to upgrade her level 2 factory.
Level 2 factories require Yuan, and can only use the money earned from Huami.
As a result, there were no prompts at all.
