MTL - I’m the City Lord of the Last Days-Chapter 20
Glancing at the three remaining families, He Qianshan didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly:
"I am willing to provide weapons and manpower to help bring back the goods in stock in your factories and stores, on the condition that all materials are divided in half."
The three families had some expectations about He Qianshan's proposal. After all, two convoys drove into the He Family Manor the evening before. He Qianshan obviously wanted to hoard supplies before the end of the world came and most people hadn't realized it. . only…
"Mr. He, is this ratio too high? I've never done such a loss-making business. If my parents knew, they might beat me up."
The youngest Zhang Chenming was the first to speak, his brows were tightly knit, and his voice was erratic.
The Zhang family started out as a supermarket. Not only do they have seven or eight large physical supermarkets in Mian'an County, but also in the neighboring county and city.
When the apocalypse happened, Zhang Chenming's parents were inspecting the market in the neighboring county and city. They were out of town, and they only had time to make a phone call to Zhang Chenming, telling their son to put his own safety first, and then they cut off contact.
So now only Zhang Chenming is left in the Zhang family.
But Zhang Chenming, who worked as an assistant with his parents after graduation, had not made such a major decision on behalf of the Zhang family, so he was full of anxiety.
He Qianshan looked at Zhang Chenming and explained patiently:
"The supermarket is a place where people gather, and it is also the place that attracts the most attention from all parties in the post-apocalyptic world. Without me providing weapons, you can't quickly gather back the supplies that can be gathered. I'm afraid it won't take long before you don't need to gather them."
Although Zhang Chenming had never held great power, under the deliberate suppression of his parents, he had dealt with all kinds of suppliers and seen thousands of people, so he understood He Qianshan's hint at this time.
If you don't take back the supermarket supplies decisively, the supermarket's goods may be taken away by others.
Experienced a fierce ideological struggle in his mind, Zhang Chenming was unwilling and helpless.
Finally, I remembered that every time my parents taught me a lesson, they always liked to use the "child next door" He Qianshan as a positive example. Although Zhang Chenming secretly disliked He Qianshan, but thinking of his parents' affirmation of He Qianshan, Zhang finally Chen Ming gritted her teeth and said with difficulty:
"Okay! Fifty-five points are fifty-five points, but you must ensure my safety and give me a gun!"
He Qianshan nodded in agreement, and then turned his attention to the other two families.
Li Changfan and Gu Siyue, the representative of the Gu family, looked at each other, their eyes full of regret and pity, thinking that Zhao Chen
Next year, young and energetic, able to boldly get up with He Qianshan, who would have thought that the kid would be so unreliable, he just lay down and gave up after a symbolic struggle, no wonder the old Zhang and his wife often play mixed doubles. , who would dare to let it out alone!
Hey, this means that Lao Zhang and his wife are not here, otherwise they might be able to see the scene of "Lao Zhang teaching his son" with their own eyes today.
Tucao return to Tucao, He Qianshan had to deal with it, Li Changfan said with a smile:
"Qianshan, your Uncle Li and my stall is a small business, and what we earn is hard money. I hugged you when you were full moon. Our friendship, look... can we let two more point?"
He Qianshan directly turned his gaze to Gu Siyue to answer, Li Changfan was not in a hurry, and continued to say with a smile: "But speaking of being well-informed, it really depends on you, Uncle Li, what large I, Li Changfan, know best about storage and distribution centers..."
When he said this, Li Changfan thought he was very important. Didn't the He family kid want to collect supplies? How could it be more enjoyable to go to the supermarket to collect bulk supplies and go directly to the warehouse to carry them in full boxes?
He Qianshan finally looked at Li Changfan squarely, and his voice was calm and unwavering: "What I value is Mr. Li's news, but I don't agree with you directly counting all the goods in the warehouse as yours." After speaking, he turned to Gu Siyue, " What does Mr. Gu mean?"
Gu Siyue was a little perplexed, glanced at Li Changfan whose smile had disappeared, and said hesitantly, "Mr. He, our Gu family has a big business after all, so it's a bit difficult for me to make this decision right away. How about this? I'll go back and discuss it with my family." , and I will reply to you later."
He Qianshan nodded to express his understanding, then raised his hand to signal the butler to help see the guests off, and sent the Li family and the Gu family away.
Both Li Changfan and Gu Siyue were taken aback because of this too direct treatment. Didn't expect the He family boy to behave in this way? They really wanted to stay and inquire about some news, but it was a pity that He Qianshan didn't give them a chance.
Zhang Chenming looked around with a blank expression, but in the end he was the only one who directly agreed to He Qianshan's conditions?
what to do? The feeling of making a wrong decision became more obvious. He was afraid that he would be beaten by his parents in a mixed doubles...
He Qianshan looked at Zhang Chenming, who was obviously a big man, but always frowned, with a melancholy look on his face, and couldn't help asking for confirmation: "If you agree to cooperate, I will arrange to go to the nearest Congzhong Supermarkets collect supplies."
At this time, although Zhang Chenming couldn't stop thinking about it,
The memories of being mixed doubles by his parents flashed past, but his habit is not to easily change the decision he has made. Hearing this, he nodded, and discussed the cooperation details with He Qianshan with a sad face.
***
While He Qianshan was bothering to deal with humans, Song Xingcheng was lying on a rocking chair on the fifth-floor terrace, concentrating on building his own city. There were 64 points of energy on his panel waiting to be converted into system buildings.
After studying the newly unlocked technology of the level 2 system the night before, the corresponding new buildings were unlocked. The level 3 icon [Farmland] was unlocked in the level 2 icon [Agriculture], and the [Timber Yard] and [ Noodle Factory], [Business] unlocked [Grain Store].
Among the newly unlocked buildings, except for [Grain Store], which only costs 5 energy points to build, all other buildings require 10 energy points.
Tsk tsk, the prices in Tier 2 cities are double that of Tier 1 cities! Although the function is also very powerful.
Song Xingcheng took his eyes off the selling price of the building, focused his attention on the icon of a certain building, and got a brief introduction.
For example, [Farmland] can harvest 20 catties of grain per day, and [Woodyard] can harvest 10 units of wood per day.
20 catties of grain is easy to understand, 10 units of wood is unimaginable, but it doesn’t matter, Song Xingcheng only needs to know that in addition to paying 5 energy points to build a simple wooden house now, it also needs to consume 4 units of wood, which has an impact on the output of the wood yard. concept.
In general, whether it is farmland or lumberyard, the output is very rich.
After careful consideration, Song Xingcheng decided to build two [Farmlands] and two [Timber Yards]. For the time being, he is not going to build a [Noodle Factory], but a [Grain Store] can be built for a total of 45 energy points. The upper right corner of the panel There are still 19 points of energy left.
Of course, this is not enough, roads still need to be built. Song Xingcheng spent 2 points of energy to pave the original system road by another 40 meters.
From a distance, the 10m*10m grain store is built next to the wooden house, next to it are two pieces of 20m*20m farmland across the system road, and next to it are two 10m*10m lumber yard.
The only confusion was that there was a big tree where one of the lumber yards was going to land. Song Xingcheng struggled with avoiding the big tree and forcing symmetrically for 5 seconds. After trying it, he found that the big tree disappeared immediately after the lumber yard landed. up.
Tsk, this system building is quite domineering.
It takes half an hour to build a building in a tier-2 city, so Song Xingcheng went to the gym on the fourth floor to get fit, and happened to meet Han Qinmin who was educating the boss's three new recruits, so Song Xingcheng just sat in and listened.
Han Qinmin side
He taught the three young people who were left behind by the elders in the family how to do things and how to use guns. While slowly taking a look at Song Xingcheng, his brain immediately flew away. If he taught the boss's wife (crossed out) how to exercise If so, will the boss be unhappy?
Fortunately, Song Xingcheng did not embarrass Han Qinmin for too long. In less than half an hour, Song Xingcheng had enough exercise. Sweating profusely, he went back to his room to take a battle shower, and then walked to Balcony to admire the new construction.
After the building was completed, Song Xingcheng got more information related to the new building. For example, [farmland] and [lumber yard] need real humans to take care of them, otherwise there would be no output.
[Grain Store] does not need human employees, and the grain harvested in [Farmland] can be set to be automatically transported to the Grain Store for external sales.
Fortunately, each piece of farmland or each lumber yard only needs 1 employee, so it should be easier to recruit people... right?
Song Xingcheng edited and revised the recruitment announcement in distress, and then hoped that someone would apply for the job immediately and start working for him. After all, he was anxiously waiting for the lumber produced by the lumber yard to build a simple wooden house in order to meet the conditions for urban upgrading. .
The applicants didn't wait, but Song Xingcheng saw the guests who came to visit He's Manor leave one after another, especially the two people he didn't want to see the most, they were gathering around other neighbors to inquire about news, and walked out of He's house together manor.
The annoying person disappeared, and Song Xingcheng went downstairs in a happy mood. He Qianshan beckoned him over to discuss the plan to go out to collect supplies in the afternoon.
Hearing this topic, Song Xingcheng immediately became interested. In just one day, his attitude towards zombies has completed the transformation from fear and panic to condescending. Now zombies are not hideous and terrifying in his eyes, but moving energy Beads are waiting for Song Xingcheng to contribute them to the system and exchange them for more buildings.
Because I got up too early and finished a lot of things, it was just noon. Today's lunch is the most attended and the most abundant in the variety of dishes. It is made in the large restaurant on the first floor of the main building. In the form of a buffet.
In addition to He Qianshan, Song Xingcheng, Han Qinmin and Zheng Nianhao, Tian Qiufeng's family, Zhao Zhenhai's family, three young people who joined Lu Ze, Yang Jingwen and Yang Jinglin, Zhao Chenming who decided to stay for a meal if he was hungry, and the butler and the cleaning aunt all appeared at the long dining table.
After eating a rich and delicious lunch, smiles appeared on the faces of the children again.
As the parents, Tian Qiufeng, his wife and Zhao Zhenhai also felt relaxed, and the treatment that only looked at the food was better than their previous highest expectations. They were glad that they had spotted the boss on the first day of the end of the world and followed closely.
Song Xingcheng was also very happy. He contributed two bags of grilled chicken. Although he only ate two chicken legs, he was still satisfied with the salty, delicious, tender meat, fragrant but not greasy grilled chicken. It became a crescent.
