Chapter 120 Opening a Business (Seeking Votes and Subscriptions)

"Second brother, I'm almost full! My stomach is full of water, I'm so hungry, I can eat a cow now."

"Stop shouting, the supply department won't give you an extra one even if you shout your throat out."

"What are you doing?"

Looking at the well-dressed second brother, Hu Xiaojie was surprised.

If he remembered correctly, that suit was what he wore when he was preparing for his wedding.

But...

It's hard to explain.

That's a long story.

Anyway, this suit has been pressed at the bottom of the box, but no one is allowed to touch it.

Even if he loves his eldest niece, he can't touch it!

Not to mention wearing it.

Is he crazy today?

Is he finally hungry?

Is he mentally collapsed from hunger?

"Hurry up and get up, put on this coat!"

"Ah? I don't want it! It's minus 50 or 60 degrees outside, I'd better take a nap, so that I can reduce consumption. I can save this one for Tangtang today, and let her see if I am a capable uncle!"

"Have you heard? Xingchen is here, and is setting up the recruitment venue."

"I knew it a long time ago, wow! Five or six hundred people are here."

"Xingchen? What the hell? What does he do?"

"What are you still talking about! Hurry back and prepare, whether everyone can turn things around depends on this time."

Soon, everyone started to tidy up their family.

As long as one person can apply for the job, the whole family will have hope of survival.

It's not an exaggeration at all.

Xingchen now has this ability.

Since the advent of the maglev car, the Ministry of Trade has extended its tentacles to the three major underground cities.

Helping people transport goods everywhere in the ice and snow, especially important survival materials such as coal and food, the profits can be imagined to be very lucrative.

The profits earned by the freight department are enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

Of course.

It's just providing cockroach cream.

This is also the reason why Chu Feng dared to further open trade to the town-level shelter before the own breeding farm was cultivated.

As soon as the group sat down.

Mayor Li complained:

"Manager Liu, Captain Hong, you don't know how hard our Lijia Town is..."

"It turns out that there are only 50,143 people in our shelter. This is the limit of the population that the entire town can accommodate. If there are more, we will starve. The breeding farm can only feed so many people, and one more person is not enough!"

"Ah..." Mayor Li sighed.

"But the villages below can't hold on any longer. If we don't accept them, they can only wait to die."

"Just like that, it snowballed and grew bigger. Now the whole town has 110,000 people, which has doubled!"

"The difficulty of supporting so many people is more than doubled, it is exponentially increased, it is too difficult..."

The deputy mayor also said at this time:

"Yes, yes, it is too difficult."

"Especially in this extremely cold weather, the car can't go on the road. He'an County is backed by a coal yard. There is coal, but it can't be transported!"

"Relying on human-powered carts alone, the materials transported are pitifully small."

"That's right!" The director of the Materials Department relayed.

"As you have seen along the way, the boiler in our shelter is almost out of service, and the entire room is only maintained at -55℃."

"The breeding area is even worse. Even if all the electricity is transmitted there, it is not enough to maintain the temperature. The monthly output is only 20% of the normal level. The temperature is too low. The little bugs don't even have the strength to eat, let alone reproduce. They are limp and motionless!"

"Even if the monthly subsidy from the county is added, there are only 110,897 people, and each person only gets one cockroach cream per day."

"It's not enough to eat."

More than not enough to eat.

The water here is deep.

Li Dafu knows this very well.

The default one in the town-level shelter is actually only 13 times the normal one in the county-level and above bases.

What does it mean?

Usually, one person needs to eat 150 grams of cockroach cream + a small amount of synthetic vitamins per day. This is a normal one.

But the town-level shelter only has 13 times, just 50 grams of cockroach cream.

As for synthetic vitamins, don't even think about it.

You know the reason.

On the one hand, the raw materials are scarce and expensive.

On the other hand, looking to the future, the population must be reduced, and it is impossible to feed so many people.

If they hold on, they can only die together in the end.

All this is helpless.

Li Dafu understands, but it does not mean that he can accept it.

However, his power is too small, and he is also powerless.

Fortunately, his city lord is a capable person and has already taken action.

He believes that Xingchen will definitely help more people in the future.

For this reason, he is also contributing his meager strength.

Looking forward to the Dragon Kingdom to survive this difficult time.

He has long seen through the tricks of the three people. It is nothing more than complaining and asking for more trade shares.

But it is obvious that they are dreaming.

Every shelter has a very difficult life.

The eldest brother is not better than the second brother!

If there is a little more here, someone will inevitably make sacrifices.

He can only try his best to make this bowl of water equal so that everyone can drink a sip of water.

Rain and dew are evenly distributed, waiting for miracles!

This is what the city lord said.

He kept it in mind and did not dare to relax at all.

After calming down and putting down the teacup in his hand, Liu Dafu said in a deep voice:

"Mayor Li, I understand your difficulties very well. I came from the Lianhua Town Shelter. I understand the hardships in our small shelter."

"But rules are rules, and I'm just an errand boy. The rules of transactions have already been set as ironclad rules. Unless our city lord is here, no one can change them. You don't want me to go back and fail to pay my job, right?"

"Then how did the deal happen?" Mayor Li asked helplessly.

What others have said is so clear.

It's not easy for him to be entangled anymore.

Everything will wait and see.

Can a living person suffocate to death?

This is just a preliminary exploration, the people of Longguo still have to go to the table to decide.

Moreover.

There are various trading rules spread among the people.

Which one is true and which one is false?

He couldn't figure it out either.

He was quite curious about this.

Liu Dafu immediately said:

"First of all, regarding recruitment matters, our Xingchen has a subsidy statement, you can take a look."

The accompanying staff immediately delivered documents to the senior officials of Lijia Town present.

"10 sticks per person? Big or small?"

"Does it count as a child?"

"Isn't this buying and selling people?" The voice became lower and lower.

"Everyone, everyone we take away from Lijia Town, regardless of gender, young or old, will be subsidized with 10 sticks of 150 grams of mid-range cockroach cream."

Looking at a certain person, Liu Dafu continued in a deep voice:

"This has nothing to do with business, it is just a little thought from our city lord. Thank you for your hard work. We, Xingchen, will take over the next step. I hope that all the major shelters in Dragon Kingdom can survive this crisis safely. Difficulties.”

"Okay! City Lord Chu, you are so impressive!"

"Director Liu said it well, only unity can we go further!"

"That's right, that's right. Since you stars have the energy to spare, we should let him go."

"Are you going to take away everything you like?" Director Qin asked with narrowed eyes.

Liu Dafu looked at the uniform on this man, and it was obvious that he was holding the barrel of a gun.

However, he was not timid and said truthfully:

"We only recruit those you are willing to let go."

Chu Feng didn't like the talents in the town shelter at all.

Recruiting people is just to fill the shelter's population vacancies.

Therefore.

He didn't even want to get himself into any more trouble.

Recruiting only those who are willing to let you go is the best way to avoid it.

As for giving materials, it is purely inducement.

Not every base executive is so easy to talk to, and some even have dark hearts. They would rather let the meat rot in their own pot than share it.

In the apocalypse, population is also capital, even a reserve of two-legged sheep.

After discussing the recruitment details, Liu Dafu breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"Everyone, the next step is about trade matters."

Suddenly, everyone was sitting upright, waiting for Liu Dafu to continue.

"We, Xingchen, are purchasing materials from all surrounding town-level shelters, including steel, cement, sand and gravel, etc., and we will settle in kind."

"As for the specific transaction methods, prices, etc., they are all detailed in the transaction list."

Instantly.

There was only the sound of rustling books in the whole office.

This transaction list contains a lot of supplies, including food and clothing, everything you need!

"There are restrictions."

Mayor Li murmured.

Take food for example.

According to the introduction of this list, their Lijia Town can only exchange food for 10% of the population, which is 10,000 mid-range cockroach creams per day.

In fact, quite a few.

In their packaging, there are 30,000 pieces.

He was very satisfied with the food rations for 13 people for nothing.

The only thing that bothered him was that he could only replace it for a week at most.

Regardless of whether I finish eating or not, I can only wait until next week to change.

The same goes for other supplies.

Anyway, I don’t give you a chance to hoard supplies.

Especially the food.

There are many rules and regulations.

but······

Xingchen can provide express delivery service, which solves one of his worries.

He was really fed up with the rickshaws.

too slow.

no way.

The car won't start.

There are not enough cattle and horses.

We can only rely on human power to pull and pull!

When I saw that there were apples, strawberries and other fruits on the list, there were even rice fish for exchange.

He was completely stunned.

Are we playing the same shelter survival game?

Why is the gap so big?

No matter how small I am, how can I be said to be an official base?

If I remember correctly, Xingchen seems to be... a private sanctuary, right?

So what did Mr. Chu do?

For a moment, Mayor Li's head was filled with questions.

Although these items are scarce and expensive.

Just one fish requires 10 tons of scrap metal.

So does Apple.

But this is fresh food.

The stars are so rich.

At this moment, he wanted to pile up his picks and follow him over there.

Look at what others can eat every day, but what about yourself?

As the leader of a town.

The top leader of the shelter and the undisputed number one dignitary.

But I only have two taels of white rice and some canned food every day.

Don’t even think about fresh food!

"Isn't it a fairyland on earth?"

This is the common sentiment of everyone after reading the list.

"Brother Feng, this is the situation."

"That's it."

Shaking the red wine glass, Qin Feng struggled with his expression.

For a while.

Then he said dejectedly:

"Hey... forget it, we can't chew this hard bone. If we swallow it hard, we might choke to death. It's not worth it!"

"Ah! Then..."

Looking at the disappointed horseman, Qin Feng said unhappily:

"I'm tired of playing with this woman, so I'll give it to you."

Hugging the beauty, the horseman said happily: "Thank you, Brother Feng, thank you, Brother Feng!"

After nodding and bowing, he took the woman and disappeared in a flash.
