Chapter 75 Wholesale Purchasing
Another week passed by unknowingly.
The weather this week is very abnormal. There is little rain in the last days and it has rained very few times in recent years.
But the heavy rain lasted for three days and three nights, the entire city was flooded, many zombies were washed out, and the temperature plummeted to below 10 degrees.
Shannai lay in front of the small table in the dining area that was reserved for the boss, staring blankly at the heavy rain outside the window.
[The acidity of this rain is a bit too high, no one dares to go out.]
"Well, yes, can the raincoats in our supermarket withstand this kind of rain?" Shannai drew circles on the glass with her fingers.
[Yes, but no one wants to go out. It's too dangerous. The system has detected that many areas are still experiencing natural disasters such as earthquakes, mudslides, tsunamis, hurricanes, and blizzards.]
It seems that there is unrest all over the world.
The heavy rain didn't seem to stop. Shannai lay under the table listening to the sound of rain outside the window, feeling a little sleepy.
Xiao 7 carefully brought a small blanket, gently put it on Shannai, squatted beside her and accompanied her quietly.
Seeing this, Xiao 9 also slid over.
There were very few customers this week, and I didn't see anyone for several days.
The workload of the two Doraemons was greatly reduced, and they were now quietly snuggling together.
I don’t know how long I slept, but the heavy rain outside the window finally stopped slowly, and the accumulated water was draining everywhere.
Ding-ling-ling~
The sound of wind chimes mixed with the sound of wind suddenly rang out.
Shanna was shocked.
She sat up slowly, stretched with sleepy eyes, and leaned over to look at the door.
"Is anyone there?"
"Yes~Welcome!" Shanna quickly stood up and walked to the cashier.
The person who came in was a man with a round head and a big beard.
"If you need it, please apply for a membership card first." Shannai said softly, looking lazy.
Yu Haoran, wearing an industrial raincoat, walked slowly towards the cashier.
With every step he took, he looked around, not daring to breathe, his eyes almost blinking blind, he still couldn't believe that there was actually a supermarket here!
He is the head of the materials department of the mining base in the neighboring city S.
Three days ago, he used heavy crystals to buy a reliable piece of information that a supermarket with abundant supplies had opened in the city center.
After receiving this news, he was itching to find out and immediately went out to investigate.
But as soon as he went out, it started to rain. Thinking that there had not been any heavy rain in recent years, Yu Haoran decided to continue on his journey.
Who would have thought that the rain would get heavier and heavier, and finally even his car would float away...
Due to weather reasons, he stopped and walked many times these days. Finally, after the rain stopped this afternoon, he hurried on and arrived at his destination.
To be honest, everything their base commander showed him was already surprising enough, but compared to this supermarket... it was still a little inferior.
Look at these shelves filled with goods.
Tsk tsk tsk, a million fantastic ideas flashed through Yu Haoran’s mind in an instant.
But, it's just a thought.
He is not stupid. He can open a supermarket in the end times and have a house full of supplies. He is not someone Yu Haoran can afford to offend.
"Uh, okay! Are these enough to get a membership?" Yu Haoran unzipped his raincoat and took out a handful of crystal cores from his bag.
Shannai held his forehead and nodded, "That's enough. Just top up and exchange it. There's no requirement for the quantity."
Meow, where did these reinforcements come from? Shannai looked at Bulingbuling's crystal core and his heart was filled with joy.
"A total of 6,600 points. Customers, please look at the camera!" Shannai smiled and pointed to the machine that recorded member information.
Yu Haoran stared at the camera in a panic, his hands tense and not knowing what to do.
In just a few seconds, a gold-stamped cat membership card was handed to him.
When Yu Haoran saw his name on the membership card, his eyes almost popped out. Heaven and earth are his witnesses, he didn't say a word!
Could it be… that this machine is still connected to the police station's internet connection from three years ago? Membership cards are still based on real-name registration, which is really weird.
He glanced at Shannai warily, but did not notice any malice in the girl's eyes.
Apart from…
Are those cat ears on the head too realistic?
“Are there any...vegetables? The raw kind…” Yu Haoran gave up his curiosity and spoke timidly.
In the last few years of the apocalypse, what he wanted most was fresh edible supplies.
Shannai nodded, "Yes, we have rice, flour, meat and eggs."
Yu Haoran was overjoyed, his eyebrows raised, "Great, how many are there? I'll take them all!"
"There are quite a lot of them. You can buy as much as you want, but there is one thing I need to remind you: you cannot resell any of the items at a higher price. Otherwise, all of them will be confiscated and the points will not be refunded or exchanged."
Yu Haoran frowned. He felt that the cat-eared boss didn't seem to be joking.
Can’t you sell it at a high price?
The treaty was harsh enough, but he didn't intend to resell it a second time.
Their mining base is not an ordinary base.
The base leader has a very special ability - all kinds of metal detection and analysis!
With this special ability, the base commander easily discovered a huge mine last year and successfully summoned a group of living people and people with special abilities to join him in expanding the territory.
For this mine, the base manager built the base at the foot of the mountain.
The main source of income for their base is the trafficking of various ores such as iron, copper, molybdenum and so on.
The principle of the Hurricane Mine Base is that everything is based on the work point system, and the more you work, the more you earn.
The base provides various basic living necessities, all of which are exchanged for work points.
During the past two years of stable development, the mining base has also attracted many survivors to work there.
"It's like this. We don't use crystal cores to buy food at our base. We exchange it for labor..." Yu Haoran briefly explained their material exchange method to Shannai. "So, is this method considered a high-price monopoly?"
Shannai was confused by what she heard. "The simplest way is to recommend converting it at the supermarket's crystal core exchange rate. Don't exceed three times the original price and it will be fine."
"System, this customer is not buying supplies for himself. It's so troublesome..." Shannai complained to the system in a low voice.
[Yes, retail is indeed the easiest, but the host's suggestion is very good. His business is wholesale, so as long as the selling price is not more than three times the original price, it's fine.]
After all, not everyone can come to Lucky Supermarket in person, so it is understandable to charge an appropriate amount of labor fee.
Yu Haoran clapped his hands in approval after hearing this suggestion, overjoyed. "Yes, yes, that's a good idea. I see. What's your name, boss? Let's be friends. If nothing goes wrong, I'll come here often to purchase wholesale goods!"
Their base is not short of crystal cores, but what they lack is supplies and living people.
In order to retain the survivors, the food expenses at the base are very cheap, basically the same as free food and accommodation.
As long as you have the strength and work hard at mining, you will have no worries about food and accommodation.
"Just call me Boss Cat. If nothing goes wrong, you're welcome." Shannai smiled charmingly. "Oh, by the way, our supermarket also has a special shuttle bus..."
Shannai could see that this customer was a wealthy man with plenty of money.
So, take this opportunity to promote the bus!
"Is this true? Boss Cat is kidding me, right? Providing a safe pick-up and drop-off every day?" Yu Haoran was completely shocked at this moment, with goose bumps all over his body.
Lucky Supermarket, cat boss, supplies, bus pick-up, all of this is like... the settings in a fantasy novel!
Well, he is a big fan of novels, but unfortunately the end of the world has come and there is nothing left to read.
"Yeah, really." Shanna pursed her lips and nodded.
Yu Haoran took a deep breath and decided to buy some supplies first and then have a good talk with the base commander.
Shannai said she could understand.
Anyway, today's points have been received, I'm happy.
Yu Haoran has the ability of space, and he immediately immersed himself in the joy of crazy shopping and went on a buying spree.
Shopping brings joy, and the more you buy, the more addictive it becomes.
