Chapter Nine: Making Money and Causing Destruction!
Mu Qingyu didn't leave Muxiang Garden that day. She borrowed a company laptop from Lü Peng and hid in her dormitory to do one thing—online loans!
She needs money! She can't just rely on the bank!
There are so many different kinds of online loans and predatory loans online! Some are legal and some are illegal, but what's there to be afraid of? Mu Qingyu plans to borrow from all of them for at least three months!
Forget about paying back the money; the apocalypse will be here in less than a month! Of course, we'll take as much as we can!
So, for an entire day, Mu Qingyu waged a massive online loan campaign, armed with photos of her ID card and ownership documents for Mu Xiangyuan. She didn't care about the amount offered or the interest rate; her only condition was that repayments would begin at least two months later.
Of course, some applications were rejected, but 80% of the loan applications were approved, and as they promised, every payment arrived instantly.
In one day, Mu Qingyu actually managed to raise 2.84 million yuan online. Clearly, the property ownership documents for Mu Xiangyuan played a crucial role.
By evening, the instant noodles arrived, and the water I had ordered from Boss Ren the day before was also delivered. Mu Qingyu had the water and instant noodles taken into warehouse number 2. Along with the water came a message from Boss Ren, saying that everything Mu Qingyu had asked him to do had been completed, and he wanted to meet Mu Qingyu the next day to discuss it in detail.
After settling the remaining balance of 113,000 yuan for the water and 200,000 yuan for the instant noodles, Mu Qingyu was finally temporarily debt-free.
After a quick inventory check, Mu Qingyu now has 6,748,700 yuan left.
Day 27 of the apocalypse countdown.
Mu Qingyu and Boss Ren met at the same teahouse they had last time. This time it was their own business, so the proprietress wasn't with them.
"The large-scale industrial reverse osmosis water treatment equipment we discussed last time can be picked up today. It's basically configured according to your needs, Ms. Mu. Please check if there are any problems," Mr. Ren said with a smile, very politely.
This water filtration equipment comes in sizes ranging from 0.5 to 2 tons. The 0.5-ton unit is priced at 4,800 yuan, which is considered a small-scale unit. The 1-ton unit costs 5,900 yuan, the 1.5-ton unit costs 7,800 yuan, and the 2-ton unit costs 9,500 yuan.
They can all be connected to solar power generation equipment in terms of hardware, but correspondingly, the larger the processing capacity of the machine, the higher the demand for power generation equipment.
So Mu Qingyu didn't want any large machines; she ordered 10 x 0.5-ton machines, 5 x 1-ton machines, and 1 x 1.5-ton machine. All of these were in stock, and Boss Ren said they could be delivered to Mu Xiangyuan tonight!
Mu Qingyu didn't rush to pay the bill, but instead asked about the related power generation equipment: "How are things going with the solar generator and batteries?"
Since Boss Ren had arranged to meet Mu Qingyu, he naturally didn't disappoint her: "Everything is fine. We have manufacturers and suppliers. If you need it, I can take you to place an order today! It's just that choosing the right machine and model might take some time..."
As he spoke, Mr. Ren took out a stack of documents, clearly well-prepared.
Mu Qingyu gave Boss Ren a thumbs up, then carefully examined the documents.
The most common type of generator currently is the diesel-powered one, which comes in both residential and commercial versions. Its power output is relatively low, sufficient for daily use. These machines range in price from 1500 yuan to [price missing].
Secondly, there are generator sets, which also burn diesel and can provide small-scale power generation for commercial and supermarket businesses. The price of these machines ranges from 70,000 to 300,000 yuan.
Then there's the most important solar power generation, ranging from small-scale residential to large-scale industrial applications, costing anywhere from a few thousand dollars to millions. There are also wind turbines.
Storage batteries are also quite complex, including ordinary lithium batteries, photovoltaic lithium batteries, graphene material batteries, and so on.
The sheer volume of materials was overwhelming for Mu Qingyu. However, she finally had a better understanding of the situation, so after paying for her morning tea, she went straight to the generator manufacturer with Boss Ren.
The manufacturers weren't even in the city yet; they wouldn't arrive until the afternoon. Thanks to Mr. Ren's connections, the negotiations went very smoothly.
Mu Qingyu ordered five household generators, one diesel generator set, and three sets of household photovoltaic solar generators. With the manufacturer's professional guidance, she also purchased a solar power unit for a commercial supermarket. She also kept a small wind turbine as a backup.
Next came the batteries—all sorts of models of batteries and battery packs, and I even stocked up on some power banks for my phone.
The generator was fine; Mu Qingyu only spent 370,000 yuan on it. However, the various types of batteries cost her 540,000 yuan.
Fortunately, the manufacturer found someone like Mu Qingyu who was willing to spend money generously, and they were very helpful. They gave away a lot of free batteries and power banks as gifts, and most importantly, they provided a complete set of technical videos and books on machine repair, assembly, and maintenance.
This is quite important to Mu Qingyu, since appliances always break down, and in the apocalypse, there's no one to provide warranty service. She might not understand the technical aspects of these books and videos, but surely someone else will eventually.
People usually like to cultivate networks of connections. And such networks are indeed magical. After paying a deposit of 300,000 yuan to the generator manufacturer and signing the contract, Mu Qingyu casually inquired about the lighting equipment.
Those who work with electricity inevitably have some connection with those who work with lights. So, taking advantage of the fact that it was still not too late, around three or four in the afternoon after everything was finished.
The generator manufacturer's representative then took Mu Qingyu to the neighboring electronics and lighting factory. There, they had all kinds of lighting equipment, from household to outdoor and even military-grade!
