Chapter 4: Stockpiling of Goods Abroad (I)
The visa to go abroad is due next week, so Shuxin has not been idle during this week. She has found a reputable real estate sales company and entrusted all the properties she had sorted out for sale to them.
Shu Xin’s request to them was that the property should be sold quickly and all within half a year as much as possible. The price could be lower than the market price, but the property must be paid in full.
It goes without saying how much money they can make if they sell all the houses in so many good locations. The real estate agent naturally agreed to it. They smiled from ear to ear and repeatedly patted their chests to assure Shuxin that they would never let her down.
Thinking that I will be going abroad for more than a month, I can’t waste this time and start renovating and decorating the house.
Shuxin did not plan to hire a renovation team in her own city, or even in her own country. Her requirements for renovating her house were quite special, and it was easy to leave a deep impression on the renovation team.
In order to prevent the people who had renovated his house from causing trouble for him and adding unnecessary hatred to him after the end of the world, Shuxin planned to invite a team of decorators back from abroad.
She contacted a famous German decoration team online. They had served many CEOs of large companies before, which made Shuxin very happy. This way, no matter what strange requests she made, the other party would not look inexperienced.
Shuxin took photos of the two houses that needed to be renovated and sent them to the other party, and put forward her requirements.
All windows were replaced with bulletproof and explosion-proof one-way glass, the floor heating in the whole house was converted to be heated by fire, and the walls were also thickened and soundproofed.
The house door required to be installed with three layers. From the appearance, the first two layers of doors are no different from those used by other families, except that the quality is better and the safety factor is higher. Only for the third layer of door, Shuxin required to use a security door of the same quality as the bank safe door.
The first two doors were just to deceive people, and this third door was what Shuxin really wanted. There were more than a dozen other requirements, all listed out and sent to the other party.
After looking at Shuxin's request, the other party said that there was no problem, but because the materials also needed to be shipped from Germany, their charges would be higher.
Shu Xin said that it was just money, no big deal, anything that could be solved with money was not a big deal, as long as she guaranteed to use the best materials, she would give her an extra bonus if she was satisfied with the house. The other party readily agreed and came the day before Shu Xin was to leave.
The two houses that needed to be renovated were located in a newly developed area, targeting the middle and upper classes. Not many people had already moved in, and most of the people who bought the houses were still in the decoration stage. Therefore, even though the decoration team that Shuxin brought was from abroad, it did not attract much attention.
After all, those who can afford to buy a house here are either rich or noble, and some of them have hired foreign decoration teams, so Shu Xin is not outstanding.
Shuxin came to the community in advance and found that everyone was renovating their homes. There were many vehicles and teams transporting renovation materials in and out of the community every day, which made her more determined to choose this time to renovate.
If you want to avoid attracting attention, the smartest thing to do is to blend in with the crowd.
After handing over the key of the house to the person in charge of the decoration team, Shuxin embarked on her own overseas stockpiling journey the next day.
The first stop was Country M. In this freedom-loving country, it was much more convenient to stockpile things than at home. As long as you didn't kill or burn anyone, no one would care what you did.
Shuxin did not start collecting supplies blindly. She did not have a deep understanding of the market in Country M. If she wanted to buy things in large quantities, it would be difficult to find channels and she would be easily cheated.
After several days of investigation, Shuxin began to collect supplies. She first rented five ordinary large warehouses and two large cold storage warehouses. Then she contacted the manufacturers she had screened out these days one by one, told them what she wanted, and asked them to deliver the goods to her door.
Edible salt, sugar, high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, gluten-free flour, various coarse grains, various meats, and eggs are all bought by tons. In order to speed up the unloading process, Shuxin even hired an extra unloading team.
Daily necessities such as sanitary napkins, comfort pants, towels, bath towels, wet wipes, toilet paper, toiletries sets, bedding sets of various materials, etc. were all purchased in tens of thousands of boxes.
There were all kinds of delicious delicatessens with pizza and burgers of various flavors, reindeer sausage, stew, sandwiches of various flavors, etc. I also bought a lot of drinks, especially Happy Meal Coke and Sprite, which I ordered twice as much as other drinks.
Of course, Shu Xin would not miss out on the specialties of Country M. He also ordered a lot of abalone fruit, California milk, cranberry, American ginseng, Napa Valley red wine, coffee beans, etc. As for some fruit species unique to the United States, he not only stocked up, but also bought seedlings to plant on the second floor of the space.
Although she certainly can't eat so much, it doesn't matter if she hoards it. These things are hard currency in the apocalypse. If she can't eat them, she can exchange them for zombie crystal cores.
There are also many big-name skin care products and cosmetics that are very expensive in China, which are also very cheap in the United States. The prices are basically 50% to 70% off the domestic prices. As a beauty-loving fairy, Shuxin certainly cannot miss this opportunity. No matter whether she has used them or not, she will stock up thousands of sets, and the ones she used frequently stock up more.
Means of transportation are also indispensable in the end times. Shuxin saw an off-road vehicle and an RV while visiting the auto show. After checking, she found that they were both made in Country D.
Country D was also one of Shuxin's destinations for this trip. She immediately called the car manufacturer and, considering the harsh environment in the apocalypse, the bad road conditions, and the zombie attacks, she ordered twenty Knight XVs and ten Nordic Navigator Fs, requiring the glass of all thirty vehicles to be replaced with the best bulletproof glass, to be picked up in one month.
After paying a 30% deposit in advance as required, the people on the other side really believed that Shuxin really wanted to buy the property, and their attitude immediately became extremely enthusiastic.
It cost Shuxin nearly 500 million to buy the car, but Shuxin didn't feel bad at all. It was nothing to her with a net worth of over 10 billion. Compared with this money, as long as it could add even a little more security for safe travel in the last days, the money would not be wasted.
In the United States, which has the highest rate of private gun ownership, buying and selling guns is like buying cabbage in the country. You can bargain, you can pick and choose, and there are even gun exhibitions similar to car shows.
Shu Xin certainly didn't want to put these things out for sale. She didn't dare to go to the black market alone. She didn't have the courage of the heroines in those novels who dared to go to the black market alone. If she did that, the final end would only be to be killed and dismembered and thrown into the wilderness.
When it comes to things like hot weapons, Shu Xin is completely powerless and can only think about them with envy.
After staying in the United States for almost a week, Shuxin ordered many large water tanks with taps at the bottom to drain water. Before leaving, she got up in the middle of the night and went to a reservoir in the United States to fill the water tanks. There was also a batch of insulated water tanks that were not that large, which Shuxin prepared to use to store hot water so that she could take them out directly when it was extremely cold.
I also bought Taineng generator panels, generators, power banks, assault boats, rubber boats, skates, various wilderness survival supplies, various medicines, various assault jackets, sportswear, and down jackets that are both comfortable and of good quality, in all sizes.
You can stock up more of the essential consumable energy such as honeycomb coal, gas cylinders, natural gas and coal.
