Chapter 254 This is a good sign!
”…Is it here?”
This is the twentieth time today. Xier repeatedly confirmed the address on the note. He did not come to the wrong place.
In front of him at the moment is a storefront that is being renovated. The sound of sawing wood and clanging came from inside.
No matter how you look at it, this place does not look like a hotel.
”Is there anyone named Xu Shun here?”
”No, no, how many times do you want me to say it?” The man doing carpentry work at the door replied impatiently.
Xier continued to ask without giving up.
”Then who is the owner of this place? I have an important client who filled in the address here. I have to find him.”
What does this have to do with me?
The carpenter said without raising his head.
”The owner here is out and will not be back until dark. If you want to find him, just wait.”
Before dark…
before dark at noon, and before dark in the afternoon. Just because of this nonsense, he has been standing here for a whole day!
Now that it is dark, this guy is still talking to himself before dark!
Just when Xier was about to give up, a figure approaching from a distance instantly dispelled the regret and remorse on his face.
Xier shouted out in surprise, as if he had found a purse dropped on the ground.
”Hey! Mr. Xu Shun!”
While shouting, he did not forget to wave his hand to indicate that he was here.
”Your acquaintance?” Shuyu glanced at the guard beside him in surprise.
Xu Shun made a helpless expression.
”The residents of the shelter consigned things to him, and they signed my name.”
Shuyu pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
”
I see.” “It seems that there is a result.”
Before the group reached the door, Xier had already taken the initiative to greet them, and said with a bright smile on his face.
”My friend, you are finally back!”
Xu Shun asked immediately before Xier finished his greetings.
”Did you sell the things?”
”Sold!”
Xier did not mind being interrupted and continued to speak with a beaming face.
”My client really likes your… uh, artworks. And he also said that if there are any more, he wants to buy some more to keep. I remember you have a big bag, right? If you can’t find a buyer, why not sell it to me.”
The players who were looking at the subtitles suddenly brightened up.
Especially Ye Shi, his eyes were shining.
”Damn, a fellow traveler!”
Sell!
Must sell it to him!
Lao Bai’s expression was subtle.
”It seems that there are LSPs in the wasteland.”
Kuangfeng coughed lightly and said, “… No matter what, it was sold.”
Fang Chang nodded, “And the price is not bad, which is an explanation to Teng Teng.”
To be honest, they had asked around in the market before and no one wanted it, so they basically had no hope.
Unexpectedly, the situation turned around after returning from the talent market?
Sure enough, there are still people who know the goods.
Kuangfeng tried to analyze it rationally. It is impossible that the evening dress with a long skirt is bought by mercenaries.
Civilians have no consumption power, so they can be ignored.
Those who can afford so many chips must be nobles in the inner city.
Regardless of who he sold it to, Fang Chang took the purse from Xier and counted the chips inside. The total denomination was exactly 480.
Xier had already deducted 20% of his chips – a total of 120 chips.
As for whether this guy secretly sold it at a higher price, that was his own ability. The two parties agreed on only the share of the price tag.
There were still three evening dresses left, and there were quite a lot of stockings, almost 20 pairs.
According to the price of 500 chips for a dress and 100 chips for a pair of socks, these clothes were sold at a “sky-high price” of 3,500 chips.
Even Shu Yu, who was standing aside, couldn’t help but exclaimed.
Wow.
This deal is enough to pay 4 months’ rent!
Of course, the players were thinking about the exoskeletons and other equipment on the shelves.
Half of the 3,500 chips were theirs. Counting the previous profits, they could already collect a huge sum of 2,000 chips.
There are only 1,000 silver coins, but if you buy a KV-1 exoskeleton or other equipment and sell it to other players, it will be more than 1,000 silver coins.
The Miner I sells for 2,000 silver coins, and the KV-1 without level restrictions sells for 1,000 silver coins, right?
Three KV-1s are worth 1,800 chips, and they sell for 3,000 silver coins, which is a huge profit, okay!
Of course, this is just an example. There are many things that are more profitable than KV-1. Many things in Boulder City are not available in the outpost store.
Fang Chang plans to open another post on the official website as soon as he goes offline, and do purchasing on behalf of others while doing pre-sales. By the way, ask the rich woman Teng Teng if she needs help buying something.
”Wait, why 3,500 chips?”
After listening to the negotiation relayed by Xu Shun, Xier stared at the several residents of the shelter in front of him with wide eyes and said angrily.
”Did you forget that you still have to give me 20%?”
”That was consignment, my friend, not now,” Fang Chang, who was sketching out a business map in his mind, had no time to pay attention to him. He used the words he had just learned and mixed them with Chinese to perfunctorily say, “If you want to buy, then pay.”
Xu Shun repeated this sentence.
But in fact, this was completely unnecessary.
Even though he only understood a few words, Xier immediately understood what these guys meant.
Damn!
This group of blue hamsters who go back on their words!
Although his heart was bleeding, Xier still took out the purse from his pocket and reluctantly stuffed it into Fang Chang’s hand.
”This is the entire cash flow of my store… a total of 3,500 chips.”
Ye Shi turned his head and looked at Kuangfeng.
”Do you believe it? The cash flow of his store is exactly an integer.”
Kuangfeng looked at him strangely.
”You pay attention to such details when playing games?”
Ye Shi: “No, I just think the AI of this game is very realistic when it lies with its eyes open.”
Kuangfeng: “…”
There is no need to be polite to profiteers. Fang Chang took the money bag from Xier without hesitation, counted it carefully twice, and put it on his waist after confirming that there was no problem.
With a sunny smile on his face, Fang Chang said in a pleasant tone.
”I’m glad you appreciate our art.”
”The things are in the house, please follow us.”
For the sake of art!
Xier followed his footsteps with annoyance and walked into the storefront that was being renovated.
Although the process was full of twists and turns, he finally got what he wanted.
Looking at the good things stuffed in the package, Xier made up his mind to squeeze the money out of his old friend.
However, just as he was about to leave, Shuyu, who had been silent, suddenly called him.
”Please wait a moment.”
Stopping at the door, Xier turned around and looked up and down at the young man in front of him.
”Anything else?”
Shuyu shook his head.
”No, I’m just a little curious about who is buying such expensive clothes. Can you satisfy my curiosity?”
Haha.
Do you think I will tell you?
Although he didn’t write the word “haha” on his face, Xier spoke without any euphemism and directly.
”The one who can pay this money is naturally a big shot. As for who it is sold to, I certainly can’t reveal it. This is the customer’s privacy. I hope you can understand.”
One hand for money and one hand for goods.
The transaction has been completed.
After saying that, Xier was about to turn around and leave, but the young man continued to speak.
”So you still have a way to do business with big shots.”
Xier said proudly: “Of course, the customers of the Gray Squirrel Clothing Store are all over the wasteland. This is not bragging.”
”Really?” Shuyu thought for a while and continued, “In fact, we have a lot of similar products. If you have a sales channel, we can consider cooperation.”
”There are still many?!”
Xier opened his eyes wide, walked to him in two steps, and spoke quickly.
”How much is left? I want them all!”
His eager look and actions revealed his urgency. Shuyu bent his mouth, but said calmly.
”What I mean by a lot is not inventory, but production capacity. Of course, it takes a certain amount of time to make this thing. Leave me your address. I will have someone find you when it is necessary.”
”Grey Squirrel Clothing Store, located at the entrance of the next market!”
Xier pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, quickly wrote down the address on it, and handed it to the young man in front of him politely.
Looking at the young man who took the note, he smiled and continued.
”If you still have goods, please be sure to contact me! Whether it is consignment or other forms of cooperation, Grey Squirrel Clothing Store is happy to serve you!”
Shuyu nodded gently.
”I will consider it.”
…
Official website forum.
Today is as lively as ever.
[Announcement: The 404 Shelter Office in Boulder City has been established! The person in charge is a little brother named Shuyu, everyone go and harass him. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce of the Outpost Base is also under construction, and it has now entered the recruitment stage. Stay tuned! 】
Debt Big Eyes: “Is this announcement written by Xiaoqi?”
Lao Bai: “It should be, it doesn’t look like Brother Guang’s style.”
Lone Wolf: “By the way, what is Brother Guang’s style? (Curious)”
Kuangfeng: “Yeah, what exactly is it? Kuangfeng also wants to know, what do you think. (Slanting eyes)”
Lone Wolf: “???”
Quitting Smoking: “Damn, this imitation is too real!”
Ye Shi: “Guang: You can just read my ID and it’s done. (Funny)”
Edge Pad: “Where’s Fang Chang? Where’s your Fang Chang? Why can’t I see him?”
Fountain Commander: “That’s it! Damn European Emperor
, get out!” Fang Chang is here.
As soon as the players started to tag him, Brother Fang Chang’s ID popped up on the forum.
”I’m back! I was editing a post just now! Today’s harvest is quite amazing, the transaction volume has one more zero than yesterday! Not only the clothes consigned to the clothing store, but also the works of Teng Teng Hut were snapped up by local residents! We now have a lot of chips in our hands. I have compiled a price list of local goods. If you need them, you can ask me to buy them for you. The prices are open and transparent, and there is no deception for everyone! (grin)”
Tail: “Fuck! Those exciting clothes are sold out! (△;)”
Sis: “Is this the world of adults? (o°ω°o)”
Quit Smoking: “Teng Teng is awesome!!”
Irena: “Sure enough, the driving force for the continuous progress of society is LSP. (funny)”
Kuangfeng: “That’s not necessarily accurate. After all, clothes with three-digit prices are not affordable for ordinary people. Rational analysis, it should be bought by the nobles in the inner city.”
Ye Aonaiwohe: “I laughed. Who can’t afford clothes with three-digit prices? My family runs a clothing store. The cheapest clothes cost 999. Expensive Nine digits upwards. I can only say that you are still too young and have never seen a real rich man. This world
is much more complicated than you think. “Lao Bai: “…Are we discussing something from the same dimension?” ”
Teng Teng: “!! Will the evening dress I designed appear at the ball of the noble ladies? ! (☆▽☆)”
Ye Shi: “Of course! Who knows, after a while, Teng Teng’s cottage will become the weathervane of the fashion industry in Boulder City!” ”
Irena: “It’s just around the corner to be popular in the whole city. (Funny)”
Ya Ya: “Ah… It’s worthy of being a wasteland. The atmosphere is too open. I really can’t accept that kind of clothes. (-ω-)”
Ye Shi: “It won’t be covered. (Funny)”
Ya Ya: “(*ω)╰ひ╯”
Irena: “(Funny Fear Limited.jpg)”
Teng Teng: “What the hell, what are you thinking! That dress is not what you think, okay? Besides, your figure can’t wear it. That kind of high-end feeling… Anyway, you have to be a little slimmer to wear it, okay! “
Ya Ya: “Wait a minute, I can’t pretend I didn’t hear that. Are you saying I’m fat!!! (σ｀д′)σ”
Teng Teng: “No, no, that’s not what I meant. QAQ”
Tail: “Tail as a witness! Master is not fat at all, just a little bit bigger! (///ω///)”
Ya Ya: “!??” Si
Si: “Please let the designer speak. Who do you think is more suitable?”
Teng Teng: “For example… Boss Xia?”
Boss Xia?
Chu Guang, who was peeking at the screen, felt that Xia Yan probably couldn’t accept that kind of clothes. Her salary was not low. If she liked it, she would have bought it long ago.
Mercenaries are keen on leather products, whether it’s a leather jacket or a small leather coat.
Compared with fiber-woven clothes, animal leather can better resist bites and cutting types of damage, and it won’t be too uncomfortable when it rains.
And…
I can’t imagine it at all.
That rude guy wearing that dignified and elegant evening dress…
Chu Guang imagined it for a long time, and only imagined someone tripping over the hem of the skirt clumsily, and couldn’t help laughing.
Xia Yan, who was sitting nearby reading a book, looked over suspiciously.
”What are you laughing at?”
Chu Guang coughed lightly.
”Nothing, I just thought of something fun.”
”Funny things?”
Hearing about the fun things, Xia Yan suddenly became energetic, put down the book in her hand, and waited for him to continue with anticipation.
Listening to stories is much more interesting than watching these tadpoles!
But Chu Guang didn’t intend to elaborate.
”I’ll tell you when you finish reading the study materials in your hand.”
Xia Yan rolled her eyes and picked up the book again.
”Tsk, stingy!”
Chu Guang ignored Boss Xia who was learning Chinese and looked at the computer screen.
The topic discussed by the players seemed to have deviated from how much a piece of clothing should be sold for to the cultural conquest of the “other world”.
Some people suggested making Hanfu and lolita skirts, but soon someone said that too much material was used and the cost was not cost-effective.
Soon someone else said that regardless of what to sell, we can first introduce the final payment system to cut the leeks of the wastelanders.
Although the imagination is big and the creativity is good, Chu Guang still thinks they think too much.
The NPCs in Wasteland OL are called NPCs, but that is only a setting relative to the players.
These people are not stupid at all.
Chu Guang even dared to assert that once someone finds a substitute for the devil’s silk, a lot of counterfeit goods will soon emerge.
There is no trademark law or patent in the wasteland. Everyone uses things that the pre-war civilization has already studied thoroughly. Even if there is a new thing one day, who dares to say that this thing is invented by themselves?
”Someone will definitely find that polyamide can be a substitute.”
This thing is a thermoplastic resin that can be made by polycondensation of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. It is not only used to make socks, but also used in various mechanical and electrical parts, including bearings, gears, pulley pump impellers, blades, high-pressure seals, etc.
The chemical plant at the outpost also produces a small amount of this thing. The biomass oil provided by the Kamm tree is a good raw material.
Don’t even think about it.
Even Mosquito Brother can make this thing, and Boulder City can definitely produce this thing. At most, no one has developed this market.
”I didn’t expect that the clothes made by Teng Teng Hut would successfully enter the upper class of Boulder City?”
”This is a pleasant surprise.”
”If this style of clothing can become popular in the upper class and form a trend, and then create a lower-cost alternative to promote it in the sinking market, it might work!”
Devil Silk products take the high-end route, and nylon silk textiles explore the sinking market!
Chu Guang smiled.
”I’m simply a genius!”
Making clothes and socks is a bit low?
What does it matter!
Light industry earns foreign exchange, and the foreign exchange earned subsidizes heavy industry. This is very reasonable.
As long as it can develop, there is no need to worry too much about the means.
The only thing that needs to be verified now is the acceptance of this product by the locals .
Chu Guang’s eyes subconsciously fell on Boss Xia’s knees.
Boss Xia, who didn’t read the book very carefully, felt the sight, and tensed up reflexively, and asked in a low voice.
”What…”
”Nothing.”
Forget it.
It doesn’t make much sense to only refer to your own or the players’ aesthetics. Even if Chu Guang thinks it’s OK, it doesn’t mean that consumers in the wasteland think it’s OK.
It’s better to use the market directly to test it.
Chu Guang has enough confidence in his little players.
Teng Teng’s clothes have conquered the upper class of Boulder City.
This is a good sign!
Xia Yan: “?”
Taking his eyes off Boss Xia, Chu Guang opened the VM and was about to edit a task to send to the players of the chemical plant, but his finger paused on the screen.
Emmm…
Speaking of which.
What is the appropriate name for this task?
…
It was ten o’clock in the evening, and the night was deep.
Qingquan City in the dark was like a silent grave, but Boulder City on the edge of the Third Ring Road had nothing to do with the word “silent”. Many blocks were even more lively than during the day, like a spirited young man dancing on a grave.
Stress always needs a way to release.
People’s needs cannot be just to eat.
From a chip and a large glass of watered-down beer to a three-digit special cocktail, people always think of ways to add some fun to life.
The Queen of the Night bar near the inner city, with its explosive music and dazzling lights, was as full as ever today.
On the purple sofa sat a man with arms around him.
The pair of leather shoes on his feet were made of deathclaw leather and were designed by a famous designer in Ideal City. The gold paint was burned from the top of the shoe to the sole.
Would the gold paint wear off the sole?
Was this something he needed to consider?
If the paint falls off, just change a pair. Besides, he doesn’t need to climb mountains and wade through rivers to make a living like the wastelanders.
His name is Yang Kun, the owner of the Redwood Forest Timber Factory. He has many industries in the south, and he also manages two properties in the outer city. He also has a caravan and a mercenary group under his command.
In this bar, he is also a well-known celebrity.
”Robo, my little carrot, you have more and more styles here.”
The two beauties in his arms were wearing the artworks that Xier had obtained from the blue coat.
The pure white evening dress and knee-high socks, pure with a hint of coquettishness, noble with a hint of superficiality, sexy but not that sexy.
This kind of appetite-teasing feeling is simply great!
Rob’s face was full of smiles, and he said politely.
”It’s my honor to satisfy you!”
Yang Kun nodded and said slowly.
”This dress is good in every way, but there is one shortcoming.”
Robo immediately said: “Please tell us, we will definitely improve it in the future!”
Yang Kun: “It’s too strong.”
Robo was slightly stunned, and when he met the old customer’s eyes that understood at a glance, he instantly understood.
The two of them laughed at the same time.
”Hahaha, you are so humorous!”
”Thank you, you are not bad.”
Yang Kun, who was hugging two dancers, stood up and shook the black card between his fingers.
”Prepare a room for me, I’m a little tired and want to take a nap.”
”Okay!”
Watching the distinguished guests walking upstairs, Robo’s heart was full of excitement and enthusiasm.
He had a strong premonition.
It won’t be long before he will become the Queen of the Night of the entire Boulder City –
oh no, it should be said that the Emperor of the Night!
