The conversation with Ding Cheng made Luo Xinglan even more determined.
When in your position, do your job.
Since she is in a managerial position, she also has to bear corresponding responsibilities.
It's not that she's particularly noble, she just wanted to...do her best.
This hurricane came with tremendous force, and there wasn't much she could do; one of the few things she could do was provide a large amount of timber.
So, for the next two days, Luo Xinglan also joined the "logging" army, cutting down trees with the robots and then listing all the wood on the mall. The pricing naturally followed the market price, without lowering the price or taking the opportunity to raise it.
Every time her wood is put on the shelves, it sells out in just one second.
"What kind of hand speed do you guys have? I've been watching Luo Xinglan's name the whole time, buying like crazy as soon as the wood was listed, and I still haven't managed to snag a single piece?"
"I give up! I've been waiting here for an hour and I haven't managed to grab anything!"
"One hour? I've been squatting for four hours! And I still haven't gotten anything?"
"Forget it, I'm not going to camp here anymore. I might as well explore the island myself. It won't be very efficient, but at least I'll have a guaranteed harvest, which is better than now, where I haven't even gotten a single thing!"
"You make it sound so easy, but the problem is, where are there so many island exploration cards left? Exploration cards are harder to obtain than wood!"
"【Beginner Island Exploration Card】100,000 gold coins per location, hop on board quickly!"
"100,000 gold coins for one spot? Why don't you just rob it?"
"Hehe, it's already full. Even if you wanted to come, there wouldn't be any seats left."
"Ugh, I'm so angry! Why didn't we stockpile more wood back then?!"
"Don't even mention it, I'm regretting it too."
"..."
The world channel was filled with wailing.
Luo Xinglan was focused on cutting down trees and didn't notice the chat.
During lunch, a message popped up in the group chat, and she clicked on it.
Jiang Ruobai: "I plan to let some of the survivors come to my island to cut down trees and charge them a fee."
Sun Zexia: "Boss, you want to help them, right?"
Jiang Ruobai: "It's not a matter of helping or not helping; it's just a matter of each getting what they need. They got the wood, and I got the gold coins. It's a win-win situation."
Qian Duoduo: "This is indeed a great opportunity to make money! Brother Ruobai, you don't mind having me too, do you?"
Jiang Ruobai: "Of course not. There are so many survivors, one more person won't affect my business at all."
Luo Xinglan: "That's right, why didn't I think of having them come to the island and cut down trees themselves? I'll join in!"
Jiang Mingze: "Let's just do it all this way. Anyway, there are so many trees on the island, and they can regenerate, so we're not worried about a lack of wood at all."
Zhou Yiran: "So how do you plan to charge?"
Jiang Ruobai: "1000 gold coins per hour."
If you work hard and have a golden axe, the earnings per hour can be quite substantial.
Liu Di: "I think it's feasible!"
Ouyang Aotian: "Then let's give it a try. There should be quite a few people willing to spend the money."
The group quickly reached a consensus and posted the message on the world channel.
The news caused a stir among the crowd.
"Is it really okay to go to your island to cut down trees?"
"But I don't have a teleportation card, waaaaah!"
"A thousand gold coins an hour? Is that money so easy to earn?"
"I'm signing up! Guys, take a look at me!"
"I'll come for ten hours straight!"
"..."
In an instant, Luo Xinglan and the others' private messages exploded.
Luo Xinglan allowed the first batch of 1,000 people to come to the island. She explained the precautions to everyone, such as that cutting down trees was allowed, but the roots could not be dug up, and that only cutting down trees was permitted, while the wild animals on the island could not be captured at will...
So they sent everyone off to cut down trees.
She had already checked the island; there were no monsters, only some wild animals, which posed no threat to the survivors' safety.
She didn't stay around all the time; she kept adding people in.
In fact, all the survivors who come to her island are there to chop down more wood.
However, some people had ulterior motives.
Tian Gang deliberately found a sparsely populated place.
His raft has now been expanded to 5,000 square meters and cannot be expanded any further.
The reason he was still willing to pay in gold coins was not because he was after the wood.
His target was those pheasants and wild boars!
Luo Xinglan's island is definitely safe, isn't it much more comfortable than exploring an unknown island?
He has no shortage of food and drink now, but no one would complain about having too much food.
More importantly, even if he couldn't finish eating the pheasants and wild boars he poached, he could still sell them at the trading hall, since food was currently in high demand and short supply.
He can make a lot of money by reselling it!
Tian Gang happily searched the woods, and to his surprise, he actually found a large wild boar! It weighed about three or four hundred pounds!
The wild boar had long tusks and fierce eyes. The moment it saw Tian Gang, it charged at him.
The wild boar came on strong, but it couldn't hold out for more than a minute before being hunted down and killed by Tian Gang.
With the current strength of survivors, which one can't beat an ordinary wild boar?
Those that can't even beat a wild boar have long been eliminated.
After collecting the wild boar meat, Tian Gang continued his search for his next target.
It must be said that there are many wild animals on this island. Before long, he found a brood of pheasants and took them all in.
Tian Gang hummed a little tune as he hunted pheasants and wild boars along the way.
But there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
Meng Feifei also managed to get onto the island thanks to her brief acquaintance with Luo Xinglan.
Her idea was much simpler: in crowded places, everyone would be scrambling to cut down trees, which would definitely be inefficient. So she simply found a sparsely populated forest to maximize her profits.
Unexpectedly, I witnessed Tian Gang hunting a wild boar.
She couldn't help but speak up: "Why are you hunting wild boars? Boss Luo Xinglan said that we can only cut down trees, not hunt prey on the island! You'd better hand this wild boar over to her."
Seeing that the other party was only one person, Tian Gang said disdainfully, "Why should I give away the wild boar that I hunted with great effort?"
Meng Feifei accused, "You're untrustworthy! If Boss Luo Xinglan found out, she definitely wouldn't allow you to do this!"
