Nanxing and Banxia carefully calculated the various supplies and money they would need for their future life and found that they had enough money in their account to live comfortably for hundreds of years. Therefore, when ordering boxed meals, they chose clean and hygienic high-end restaurants.
The restaurant's contact information was obtained from Han Biao's assistant. Han Biao had ordered many boxed meals for film crews before, and the hotel business cards he carried would be several tens of centimeters high if put together.
Nanxing called to order the meal based on his memory of how delicious it was: "Hello... the deluxe set meal for 88 yuan... 1000 servings each for lunch and dinner... tomorrow and the day after... I'll pick it up myself, and I'll transfer the deposit to you right away..."
He made five phone calls in a row, spending 1.76 million yuan, and received 20,000 boxed meals in return.
But neither of them felt it was enough, so Nanxing made another call and this time ordered a regular, inexpensive boxed meal.
"Hello... A four-meat and two-vegetable meal set for 24 yuan... 500 sets each for lunch and dinner... tomorrow and the day after... I'll pick it up myself by car, and I'll transfer the deposit to you immediately..."
The same five phone calls were made, costing 240,000 yuan, but yielded 10,000 boxed meals.
After filling your stomach, you can't let your spirit go hungry either.
At Banxia's suggestion, Nanxing found an online store that offered download services: "Hello, can you take this job?"
He sent over a pre-prepared list, which included: movies, TV series, variety shows, science videos, sports videos, novels, anime, songs, etc., with no restrictions on content. The requirement was to fill 300 20TB solid-state drives and make one backup, with a two-month timeframe.
The customer service representative on the other end probably thought Nanxing was there to cause trouble, so the chat window remained in a "typing is in progress" state until finally they sent a message saying, "Dear customer, do you not understand what 20T means?"
"Let me explain this to you. 1TB is 1024GB, but that's a theoretical value. A 20TB hard drive actually has a capacity of about 19.5TB, which is GB."
"A 1080p movie that is 110 minutes long is about 10GB, which means that a 20TB hard drive can download about 1996 movies."
Are you sure you want to download all 300 20TB SSDs?
Nanxing could sense the other party's speechlessness from their words, and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing: "Of course, in addition, the hard drive must be the best quality X brand on the market. Don't worry, money is not a problem. I can pay a deposit first as proof."
"Holy crap!"
When Kang Jian saw the message in the chat box, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He was a recent college graduate who, unable to find a suitable job, simply set up an online download service. However, with the ease of watching TV and movies online now, he didn't have much business.
When he first received that 20T order, he wanted to give the other party a good scolding, but then he thought that what if the other party was a naive and ignorant elementary school student? In order to avoid accidentally hurting them, he patiently explained the situation.
What did he see?
Money is not a problem?
He tentatively sent a link for a 200,000 yuan deposit.
Nanxing raised an eyebrow and paid the money decisively.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
Kang Jian was so excited that he shouted in the house, which attracted his mother's roar and the sticky sole of his slipper.
He rubbed his sore backside, feeling aggrieved, and called his roommate, who was also unemployed, on his phone: "Hey buddy, I have a job for you..."
He contacted nine people in a row before realizing that he hadn't discussed the price with the wealthy man!
Kang Jian quickly asked his mother for a calculator and buried himself in calculations.
A 20TB hard drive from brand X costs 3999 yuan each, so 600 hard drives would cost 2,399,400 yuan, plus labor costs...
He frowned and hesitated for a while, then decided to estimate the labor cost at 200,000 yuan, which would mean that each of the ten people would earn an average of 10,000 yuan per month.
Don't be fooled by the large sum of 10,000 yuan; what they're earning isn't money, but rather the cost of staying up all night and going bald!
After calculating the price, Kang Jian was startled when he saw the number on the screen. A tycoon... Would he scare away a tycoon?
He nervously sent the link over.
Nanxing glanced at the neatly arranged numbers and typed nimbly with her long fingers: "Add the delivery fee and the membership fees for each platform as well. I just paid a deposit of 200,000. Make me a link for 2.45 million. Consider the extra as a treat for you to order takeout and drinks."
He guessed the other party was a naive college student, which is why he was so clueless about pricing. But as a working adult, he couldn't bear to exploit him.
Another hidden thought is that he hopes the other party will not use any substandard or shoddy goods because he is generous with his money.
The other party quickly replied with an animated emoticon and a new link.
The stick figure in the meme is kowtowing while shedding tears of wide noodles, shouting, "Thank you, boss! I wish you great wealth!"
Nanxing couldn't help but chuckle. After paying, he put away his phone and looked at Banxia in the passenger seat: "Banxia, are you tired? If you are, let's go back to the hotel to rest."
He's not going home because he had his assistant arrange for a moving company to move, and now his house is probably a mess, so he won't be able to get a proper rest if he goes back.
Banxia shook her head slightly. Nanxing had always disagreed with her coming along, hoping she would stay home to recuperate.
She was clinging to his clothes, refusing to let him leave, so he had no choice but to take her with him. How could she let her health slow down the stockpiling process?
Nanxing thought for a moment and said, "How about we go buy some tea?"
Banxia nodded in agreement. She and Nanxing had already discussed it and decided that most of the supplies would be purchased abroad.
First, almost all of their money is overseas; second, it's inconvenient to stockpile goods in large quantities in China, as it would easily attract the attention of relevant departments; and finally, and most importantly, they hope to leave more opportunities for their compatriots to survive.
