Lin Xinyue had just returned and set off with supplies without even unpacking.
This time, unlike before when the gathering place was completely unrelated, Lin Xinyue, thanks to Wang Lieyun's connections and a group of partner merchants, was a highly sought-after figure.
Driving, Lin Xinyue sped along the road towards the sixth gathering place.
Because there was a large amount of cargo this time, Wei Lun specially sent several guards to accompany Lin Xinyue, mainly to protect the supplies.
Zombies kept appearing all along the way, but fortunately the guards had plenty of ammunition, and with the help of two other guards, Lin Xinyue managed to arrive safely.
Upon arriving at the sixth gathering place, Lin Xinyue went straight to Wang Lieyun's office.
Wang Lieyun is an external affairs manager in the sixth settlement, mainly responsible for foreign diplomatic relations. He has considerable influence within the settlement.
He manages a lot of supplies and daily necessities for the Sixth Gathering Area. You could say that Wang Lieyun is the granary of the Sixth Gathering Area, in charge of the food for thousands of people. This position may not be high-ranking, but the responsibility is extremely important.
We entered a relatively clean building; this was the supplies department of the Sixth Settlement.
Wang Lieyun was approving some supplies that needed to be transported in and out when he saw Lin Xinyue walk in.
Since their last encounter, Lin Xinyue has become Wang Lieyun's biggest headache. Originally, Lin Xinyue seemed very weak and easy to bully, but unexpectedly, she was very sharp when it came to talking, causing Wang Lieyun to suffer repeated defeats.
He still had to receive her, and Wang Lieyun, unsure what trouble Lin Xinyue was up to this time, could only greet her with a smile.
"Brother Lin, you've arrived! Please have a seat!"
Wang Lieyun immediately instructed his servants to pour him a cup of water. In the apocalypse, everything was scarce, and even Wang Lieyun himself didn't have tea. He could only serve hot water to his guests, but in the apocalypse, it was already quite good. Having a clean water source was something to be proud of.
Lin Xinyue did not sit down, but waved her hand in refusal.
"Brother Wang, it's like this, we've come here to invest in the settlement. Could you please take me to see Cai Zhenshao, the leader of the settlement?"
As Lin Xinyue spoke, she prepared to pull Wang Lieyun outside, which puzzled Wang Lieyun.
"Brother Lin, are you saying that your Boss Wei wants to join our Sixth Gathering?"
Wang Lieyun's eyes lit up as he spoke; this was truly good news. After all, a shareholder wielded considerable influence in the Sixth Gathering Place.
They are all powerful figures who can control everything. Although the Sixth Gathering may seem to have some rules, it is actually a world that these shareholders can control at will. No one can challenge the shareholders in the Sixth Gathering.
Cai Zhenshao was the largest leader of the sixth settlement, and he was the publicly elected leader.
Cai Zhenshao was a very shrewd man. He not only managed to gather many powerful forces but also had many followers, making him a powerful figure in the post-apocalyptic world.
Cai Zhenshao basically calls the shots in the entire Sixth Gathering. As long as it doesn't involve the interests of the shareholders, Cai Zhenshao can basically decide something with just a word.
"Brother Wang, didn't you know about this? Boss Cai has already written to our base, formally inviting us to come. I've brought all the supplies with me this time!"
Lin Xinyue asked with a smile. In fact, he knew that the investment in the settlement was a recent event, and Wang Lieyun had no idea about it.
Although Wang Lieyun was surprised, he still received Lin Xinyue with great enthusiasm.
"Great news, great news! Let's go see Boss Cai right now!"
Wang Lieyun led Lin Xinyue toward the council hall of the sixth gathering place. Cai Zhenshao was usually in the council hall of the gathering place.
The two quickly went to the council hall, and under Lin Xinyue's persuasive tongue, Cai Zhenshao accepted 2,000 boxed meals and 500 cartons of cigarettes with great satisfaction.
Then he signed a contract with Lin Xinyue, a shareholder agreement, and Wei Lun officially became one of the shareholders of the Sixth Gathering. From then on, Wei Lun only needed to pay some supplies regularly to share the benefits of the gathering.
Cai Zhenshao even found Lin Xinyue a huge courtyard. Although it looked quite dilapidated, its advantage lay in its prime location right next to the commercial street.
From now on, selling or buying anything will be incredibly convenient. With this house, the core of the base can be moved here.
After Lin Xinyue finished handling the shareholding matters, she prepared to leave. Before leaving, Lin Xinyue gave Wang Lieyun a pack of cigarettes, which made Wang Lieyun admire Lin Xinyue even more.
Smiling broadly, Lin Xinyue left the gathering place and headed straight back to the base.
Around noon, all the guards at the base were changing shifts and eating lunch, and they all looked very satisfied.
As for the base's management, they were all eating inside the building. Some preferred boxed lunches, some preferred self-heating hot pot, and others simply ate bread and toast. Wei Lun left the management's meals to them to decide for themselves.
In the hall, Wei Lun and a group of managers were eating and discussing their plans to reach the settlement.
"Report! Boss! It's a deal!"
Lin Xinyue excitedly reported her achievements, hoping the good news would reach her boss soon.
Wei Lun looked up and saw that Lin Xinyue had returned, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
"Lin Xinyue, is everything done?"
After Wei Lun finished speaking, all the management members looked at Lin Xinyue, instantly putting a lot of pressure on her.
Lin Xinyue quickly and neatly placed the documents in front of Wei Lun.
"Boss, this is the shareholding agreement signed between our base and the settlement. You are now one of the shareholders of the Sixth Settlement, holding 5% of the shares."
Lin Xinyue reported that the 5% stake clearly displeased the base's management, but owning shares in the settlement was something many people envied.
Moreover, with this share, one can get a discount on anything purchased in the community. As long as one is in the community, no one dares to offend the shareholder, otherwise they will be shot. Such power is something that countless people are crazy about.
"This is interesting. Let's go and have some fun. If we're always holed up in the base, what future do we have?"
Wei Lun said with a smile that although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the 5% share, it was the result of Lin Xinyue's best efforts. It was easy to imagine how valuable the shares of the Sixth Gathering Place were.
Each year, the Sixth Settlement alone distributes millions of zombie crystal cores as dividends—a huge sum.
"How about this, let's move into the settlement now. Lin Xinyue also brought back a house deed this time, which is perfect for us to move into."
Wei Lun examined the land deed. It covered a total area of 500 square meters, with a 300-square-meter house. It was in no way inferior to the site, and judging from the location of the land deed, it was in a commercial area, which would be very advantageous for Wei Lun's future sales plans.
