Chapter 385 Black Market
Lan Jin said calmly, "I bought these for Qiao Qiao. She wouldn't be able to finish playing with them if I bought too many, so I'm selling some of them."
Having said that, no matter if I continue to run a night market in the future, the sale of these toys will definitely end when the quantity is almost reached.
After a brief chat with Captain Zhang, he watched him leave.
Lao Gao watched Captain Zhang's retreating figure and said, "Captain Zhang, you won't suspect anything, will you? It's just a few toys, and the quantity is so small. I don't think it can be connected to what happened at the supermarket."
"Who knows? Let's just forget about it once these toys are sold out. Didn't we say we'd sell bicycles before? Let's take a few out and sell them."
Lao Gao twitched his lips and said, "If we take out a little of each item, wouldn't it be more like going to a supermarket?"
Lan Jin retorted, "No, if bicycles can't be used on the open road, what else can we use? Let's sell a few more bicycles first. We don't necessarily need to run a night market."
After saying that, Lao Gao said, "If it really doesn't work, we can sell it on the black market. Captain Zhang won't go to the black market to find us, right?"
Lan Jin thought about it and found it feasible. "But if that's the case, we can sell things on the black market that we haven't sold before. The people in this base have good living conditions, so I think there should be a big market for them on the black market."
If she thought about it carefully, apart from food, there were really a lot of things in her space. Selling some of them would not affect their use until they died. In addition, the contribution points she got could be used to buy weapons. Why not do it?
Lan Jin couldn't sit still anymore. "How about we first see if there's anything we can sell that we don't need? We can make a little profit. We'll clean it out tonight when we get home. You and Xiao Huang can go and ask around tomorrow."
"OK."
…
After returning home, the group entered the space again. As for what Lan Jin said about things that were useless and could be sold, Lao Gao was really unsure. After looking at it for a while, he asked in Lan Jin's direction: "Sister Lan, what do you think we should sell? Food is definitely not an option, but I think everything else can be sold, but it seems that nothing can be sold."
The main thing is that we don’t know whether these things can be produced again in the future. If they can’t be produced, they will be gone once they are sold. It’s a pity to think about it.
Lan Jin, however, wouldn't regret discontinuing the products she wanted to sell. She pointed to the makeup products piled in a corner and said, "These, like lipsticks. Life is comfortable here, and we see so many people wearing makeup when we walk down the street. If people wear makeup, then there's a market for it, so it's sure to sell."
As for Lao Gao, no matter how hard he thought about it, he never imagined that what Lan Jin was talking about was actually this.
He suddenly said in a panic, "No, Sister Lan, it's the end of the world, who wants these cosmetics?"
"You can try it. I have a lot of inexpensive skin care products here. I got them all from supermarkets. The good ones can be left for Ling Jiang and me, and the cheap ones can be sold."
The key is that you really can’t use up dozens of boxes of goods, and you won’t feel bad about selling them.
Huang Jinghe smiled and comforted her, "Let's go ask around first. According to Sister Lan's idea, there are so many things in this supermarket that we don't need. We can sell them all."
Of course, the prerequisite is that it can be sold.
Lao Gao said somewhat dejectedly, "Okay, I'll go ask tomorrow and see."
…
The next day.
The group of four first went to the planting area to water the vegetables, and then split into two groups.
Lan Jin and Ling Jiang guarded the store, while Lao Gao and Huang Jinghe went to inquire about the location of the black market.
Lao Gao always has his own way. After asking two people, he successfully got in touch with people in the black market.
But these people from the black market were none other than Da Fei and his group, who had traded invitation letters in J City before.
And both of them now know each other.
Dafei remembered the other party because they made a lot of money from that batch of small umbrellas.
Lao Gao remembered the other party only because he had changed the invitation letter and used so many small umbrellas, but in the end he didn't use them at all, which made him feel sad.
But no matter what, at this moment, they are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years.
"Da Fei, why do you look so familiar? It turns out to be Brother Fei."
Da Fei was also surprised and said, "Hey, it's you guys. When did you get here? Counting the days, you must have been here for a long time."
Where?
Lao Gao said, "Oh, forget it. We've only been here a few days. I have some supplies and wanted to exchange them. I didn't expect it to be someone I know."
After the greetings, it’s natural to get down to business.
Lao Gao asked, "Do you still accept everything now?"
"I'll take them all. If the base has them, the price won't be that high. If the base doesn't have them, the price will naturally be higher. Big brother, just tell me what they are and I'll definitely give you a suitable price."
Lao Gao glanced at Huang Jinghe and said, "Brother Dafei, to be honest, I happen to have some makeup and skincare products on hand. This base does have some, but they're not as comprehensive as I have here, so you see..."
Da Fei was surprised and asked, "What? You said you have makeup and skincare products?"
Lao Gao said, "Yes, to be honest, when we were looking for food, we found several live streaming companies. Some sold food, and some sold skincare products. Food is edible, but makeup and skincare products are really endless."
Da Fei asked, "Are the ones you found used or new?"
"They were all brand new. No one there knew what had happened during that time, so we didn't take any that had been opened, but there were still many boxes left."
Hearing that there were several boxes, Da Fei became a little restless. However, in order to lower the price, Da Fei tried to calm himself down and asked, "Did you bring any samples?"
He actually brought it. Of course, if Lan Jin hadn't reminded him, Lao Gao really didn't want to bring it. Now is the perfect time to take it out.
There was a box containing a lotion and lotion set, and a few lipsticks that were still sealed.
When Da Fei took it and looked at it carefully, he immediately asked, "Are all your goods like this?"
Lao Gao nodded and said, "Yes, lotions and creams like this are available in individual bottles, and they are all sealed in plastic."
Da Fei had heard all this, so he naturally couldn't just let them go. "Skin care products like this, you must know the price here at the base. They're not cheap, and they're often out of stock. So, let's just charge by the bottle. How about 18 contribution points per bottle, and 10 contribution points for lipstick?"
As for other smaller items, the price is also calculated at 5 to 10 contribution points.
