Doomsday rat

Page 206

On the second day, Mrs. Xiushan and Feihu Sun really didn't bring any of them, and they appeared together outside the small building less than an hour after lunch.He didn't go in right away, but asked the refugees who leveled the land to go inside to help report.

Hong Tao is doing wiring on the third floor. He is an apprentice in infrastructure construction, but a low-voltage electrician has become a master.Although there is no electricity here, it will be connected sooner or later in the future. It will not be troublesome to get the wiring done first while the renovation is underway.

Even if the refugees didn't know who these two were, they knew they were important figures just by their appearance, so they immediately ran up to report to Lu Wei'an.After working for several days, they really thought this was Boss Lu's house.

"Who is Feihu Sun?" As Lu Weian's master electrician, Hong Tao naturally heard it, and asked in a low voice after the refugees left.In fact, he already had some ideas in his mind, mainly because Mrs. Xiushan and Xiushan's apartment were too good for each other, and he just wanted to confirm the identity of the other one.

"The boss of Feihu Company...Brother Shu, this time the trouble may be a bit big! Feihu Company is in the business of building materials, and Mrs. Xiushan specializes in apartments. The foundation is very solid. You provoked two at once..."

After hearing these two names, Lu Wei'an has already stayed where he is. Compared with Youlong Company, Xiushan Apartment and Feihu Company are considered time-honored brands, both in strength and reputation are more than one level higher.Now that they went to the door together, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Be careful with your identity when you speak in the future. It's not my trouble, it's our trouble!" Hong Tao didn't care about the uninvited guest, but instead focused on criticizing Lu Wei'an's awareness.It is very dangerous to continue to develop if you have not adjusted your position until now.

"Ai ai ai... yes yes yes, it is our trouble!" Lu Wei'an immediately trembled all over, more nervous than hearing the two major forces appearing together.

"Can you deal with it?" Seeing that Lu Wei'an understood his intentions, Hong Tao stopped threatening and brought the topic back.

He didn't want to show up early to meet any of the forces here. According to the original plan, after arriving in the capital, he should stay behind the scenes and secretly direct the tigers' every move.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and You Sihai's impatience forced him to step up to the front desk.But even so, he still doesn't want to have too much face-to-face contact with outsiders, mainly because he is afraid of being recognized.

Didn't Lu Wei'an say that the safe zone is not only full of refugees later on, but also some regular residents who voluntarily moved out of the base, and maybe some of them have seen themselves.Even if the face has changed a lot due to abrasions, it is not safe.

"Brother Shu, it's not that I'm being cunning, and I'm sure it won't work this time. With the energy of those two, they probably have already checked me clearly, and they can't be fooled. Besides, I, I really don't know what to say when I see them... ...all of them are big names here, and I used to run errands for the company..."

Faced with such a crucial meeting, Lu Wei'an dared not stand up no matter how courageous he was. He still had this self-knowledge. Instead of messing things up and then holding someone accountable, it's better to tell the truth first.

"Well... You can't hide all the time. After all, this is your property. When guests come, the host must come forward. In this way, first invite them to the furnished room on the second floor to entertain them. We Discuss and go!"

Hong Tao still agrees with Lu Wei'an's performance. Indeed, if a low-level person suddenly faces a big shot, he can't match it in any aspect, and it is easy to be mistaken for perfunctory.

Since the other party dared to come to visit alone, no matter what his thoughts were, he clearly expressed his goodwill.If you don't want to make enemies immediately, you have to respect each other in terms of etiquette.

"Tiger, I will go down with you and stand by the side as a younger brother. First find out why they are here, and deal with them carefully. Look at my expression if you are uncertain. You can agree with a nod, but you must refuse if you shake your head. Touching your nose is just an excuse to delay it later. Reply. Scalper, you and Lazy Dog pay attention to your surroundings, Bungy Pig, you go across the street and watch!"

Using his eyes to force Lu Wei'an away with a sad face, Hong Tao waved to Tiger and others who came up after hearing the news, and walked downstairs while discussing countermeasures.At the same time, he took off the scalper's straw hat and put it on his head, lowered the brim of the hat, and matched it with a dust-proof mask, which basically covered most of the faces.

The demeanor of the two old men is good. Even if they are sitting in a simple and empty house with no furniture, they can still show a kind of calmness far beyond ordinary people in their gestures.

The tiger is also not too bad in this respect, at least much better than the red-faced and sweaty Lu Wei'an. Sitting opposite the two big men, he is neither humble nor overbearing, but he talks too little and his eyes are too sharp.

No way, the habits developed over the years will not be changed for a while.There is friction between gold diggers, and it is rare to sit down and have a good chat like now. Even if they talk, they are evaluating each other's strength and are ready to move guys at any time.

After Hong Tao followed the tiger into the house, he stood near the door, playing the role of bodyguard.Lu Wei'an immediately became a waiter, but there was no teapot or tea here, and it was not very awkward to stand or sit on the side.

After exchanging polite greetings and introducing each other's identities, Mrs. Xiushan took the lead to speak first, slowly talking about the history of the safe zone, and then using stories one by one to gradually lead to the establishment and development of several major forces.It’s not too detailed, but the overall skeleton is relatively complete, and finally I clicked on Youlong Company.

Tiger listened very seriously, not pretending, as a latecomer, he really hoped to quickly learn all the information here.It's a pity that no one can tell it systematically, only a few fragments can be obtained from Lu Wei'an's mouth, and what Hong Tao gave is even more guesswork.

Now I finally have the opportunity to listen to the class. The old lady's eloquence and thinking are still so clear, I wish for it.Then he understood that this kind-looking old Japanese lady was telling herself the rules.At the same time, it is implicitly pointed out that the behavior of killing people as soon as they come up is against common sense, and will make all parties feel uneasy.

"We just want to live, as long as no one forces us to break the rules here!" At this time, he glanced at the door from the corner of his eye, saw the straw hat moving slowly, and immediately gave a clear answer .

"Brother You Jia shouldn't have gone too far..." Feihu Sun seemed dissatisfied with Tiger's statement, and continued to entangle on this topic.

"We have only been here for more than ten days, and we don't know anyone except Boss Lu. On the way, Boss Lu talked about some things that happened here, such as taking away all the belongings and keeping them in the company, and the monthly salary Hand in half or something."

"Thanks to Boss Lu's care, we haven't met such a bad person. If we meet, according to our rules, only one side can survive. But after these days of experience, we seem to understand that the rules here are different from those in the past. It's not the same, after listening to your words today, I basically understand everything."

Tigers can answer this question without asking for anyone's opinion, and it is also the same set of words to replace it with scalpers, lazy dogs, and stupid pigs.Regarding how to deal with possible cross-examination, I already had a complete statement after that bloody rainy night, and I recited it according to the lines.

"That's what I said..." Seeing that the two bosses turned their gazes to him in unison, Lu Wei'an quickly forced a smile on his face, and hurriedly nodded in recognition.

Chapter 637 Peace Has Come

Sun Feihu understood and understood.Brother Youjia was indeed killed by this group of people, and they also said, don't rush, otherwise the rules will be useless.He was not surprised by this answer, and even thought it was reasonable.

Originally, it was guessed that Youlong Company had gone too far, and that things would come to an end, but now it seems that is the case.I didn't hear this person who called himself a tiger say that if you hand in your belongings, half of your salary will be deducted.If this matter fell on him, he would have to turn his back on him immediately.

"You bought this house?" But what he cared about was not all about how to help Youlong Company get justice, there was another matter that needed to be clearly explained.

"...Yes, yes, yes..." Lu Wei'an's mind had basically stopped, and it was filled with various gun battles and fighting scenes.Faced with the sudden inquiry, he involuntarily turned his gaze to the tiger. After meeting those sharp eyes, he suddenly woke up and nodded again.

"Feihu Company has a lot of building materials business in the market. If Boss Lu needs it, you might as well go and have a look. The price...is negotiable!" Feihu Sun has no doubts about Lu Wei'an. % is forced.

He didn't intend to point it out face to face, and it's not uncommon for forces to change in the safe zone over the years. Since Youlong Company doesn't live up to it, it will be replaced sooner or later.

"Uh..." Lu Wei'an felt even more numb now, how should he answer?

Say yes, definitely not appropriate.Tigers and his group are capable of finding building materials, so why bother to buy them in other people's markets.Say no, it doesn't seem appropriate.They are obviously probing, and refusing means competition, and I really don't have the right to do so.

"Brother Feihu, Boss Lu let our brothers contract for the house repair project, as for building materials... If the price you give is reasonable, then of course it will be great."

At this moment, the tiger took the conversation. He originally wanted to say that we have the building materials, but the straw hat with the corner of his eyes to the door was touching his nose with his right hand, so he had to swallow the words.Even if I am extremely puzzled, I have no choice but to be ambiguous first, whether to buy it or not, I will talk about the price then!

"It's such a big house, I wonder if Boss Lu will open an apartment after it's repaired?" Since Sun Feihu had a question that he cared about and got a good answer, Mrs. Xiushan also wanted to ask her own question.

She is not too afraid of competition. There are quite a few people here who are willing to pay high prices to rent an apartment. Even if the new apartment is in better condition and the price is cheaper, the current tenants will not be lost.

After all, renting a house has more important attributes besides the house itself and the price, that is, safety and reputation.In this regard, she firmly believes that no one can replace it in a short time.The main reason for asking this question is to hear whether the long-term planning of this group is consistent with the short-term behavior, so as to better judge the credibility of the content of the conversation.

"I..." Lu Wei'an's temples were already sweating, and he really wanted to run away.What is this called? If you gods fight, you can't find a place where no one is around, or don't use area damage skills!

"Oh, what Boss Lu meant was to rent out the house to the new refugees. Thanks to him, we brothers and I will soon have a house to live in, so we don't have to go to the shack to suffer from the cold. I heard that the winter here is quite good. It’s cold.” At this time, the tiger also started to sweat from the tip of his nose, and many things seemed easy to do before he realized how difficult they were.

In the past, I just thought that Big Brother Yuluo had a good mouth and a big heart, no matter who he met, he could easily deal with it.That nonsense made up sounds more true than the truth.But let yourself try, this job is really not so easy to do.

When listening to someone speak, the brain has to work hard to analyze what the other person wants to express based on the existing situation.When answering, it is even more necessary to mix the truth and falsehood together, so as to convince the other party that you cannot fully reveal your true thoughts.

If you do this job too much, you will lose your life for sure!Fortunately, the conversation was not too long and ended. It lasted about 10 minutes, and most of the time was spent listening to the old lady tell stories.

But the tiger still couldn't escape the fate of shortening his life. Mrs. Xiushan said before leaving that she and Feihu Sun would call all the leading figures in the southern security zone, and then set a time for everyone to meet. She will inform you about the details.

"Is that the end?" Until the two big brothers crossed the road, Tiger was still uneasy, flicking his eyeballs in all directions, for fear of being a trick.

"What else do you want to do... We all promised not to work in the apartment, and we also promised to buy building materials. Killing people is just a nod, and they are afraid that if we are in a hurry, we will have another massacre."

"Now we are barefoot, and they wear shoes. After you put on shoes, I'm afraid you won't want to fight with a group of barefoot people for other people's affairs, or to maintain the rules."

Hong Tao was not very surprised by this result. Ever since the bloody rainy night, the authorities did not conduct an in-depth investigation, and the local forces did not act quickly, so he knew that such a day would come sooner or later.I just didn't expect it to come so early and so easily.

According to his estimation, the local forces will come to try and test more or less, and they will be willing to sit down and talk together after they meet and break their blood.Then put forward very harsh conditions, while talking and tossing, and finally a semi-official figure came forward to reach an agreement that was not too bad for all parties.

This is also the plot in many gangster movies, but reality is not a movie, and the new world is not the old world.People's main energy is still how to survive, and they don't pay much attention to contradictions such as face and ideology.

"Are you really going to buy their building materials?" Tiger was obviously not satisfied with the result. He didn't care whether he wanted to buy an apartment or not, but buying building materials would be too distressing. It's a lot of money!

"We have to buy something anyway, just to show off, so that everyone looks good. But we can't stop looking for something by ourselves, it's nothing more than not selling building materials in the future." In terms of negotiation skills and understanding, Hong Tao will It is much more accurate than the tiger's grasp.

Some things can be said but not done, and some things can be said but not said.No one would really regard a verbal agreement as an imperial decree, but they could not completely ignore it.The heat must be right, if it is too much, it will burn the pot, and if it is too little, it will be raw.

At noon the next day, Tiger took Lu Wei'an to the market, found a stall with the signboard of Feihu Company, and bought cement, linoleum, and asphalt for 300 yuan, and even paid the seller to hire a car to deliver the goods to the building. inside.

According to Hong Tao, this is called worshiping the mountain gate, like visiting someone's house and asking for some gifts.As for whether 300 yuan is enough, it depends on how the other party treats the guests.If you think it's easy to be bullied, you will throw your face and gossiping to make things difficult. If you think it's not easy to provoke, you should go down the slope and live in peace.

So, every morning, we should pull building materials from the shantytowns as usual, and we can't stop when we go for a walk in the red zone every three to five midnights.In addition to building materials, furniture, kitchen utensils, bedding, clothes, shoes and socks must also be prepared.Settling down and living a life, there are many odds and ends.

Since there are ready-made free ones, why spend money to buy them? The ancients said that if you can’t eat and drink, you can’t count.Everyone has come from hard times, so even if you have a little money, you can't spend it carelessly.

Oh yes, in addition to living, you have to stock up and do business.The thin monkey is worthy of the hat of a profiteer, and it only took more than half a month to get acquainted with the neighbors in the apartment.

This is a family of three. The husband works in a freight company, the wife works in a freight station, and their three-year-old son was able to enter the Union Nursery earlier this year, and he is picked up twice a week.

The couple's jobs are not only stable income but also relatively good, belonging to high-income families.Especially the shipping company where my husband works, although they often travel for ten days and half a month, the treatment is very good.

The reason we were able to chat together was because this wife also has the same bloodline as Shouhou. She is a mixed race. She left her hometown to settle in the Northeast after graduating from university. She accidentally smelled the home-cooked food made by Shouhou, and immediately met her fellow villagers. Both tears were watery.

At first, Thin Monkey thought that the shipping company was just for transportation, so he didn't pay much attention.But one day when the two families were having dinner together, the husband inadvertently chatted about work, which made the thin monkey feel like a treasure.

Chapter 638 The sale is also here

This freight company is not engaged in transportation!No, it should be said that it is not all about transportation.Besides transportation, they also have a major task, which is to thoroughly clean up the towns and villages in the alliance-controlled area, as well as places where people live, factories and mines.

The purpose is to bring back and disassemble all the available materials as intact as possible, part of which will be handed over to the Alliance, and part of it will enter the market in the safe zone for the needs of the refugees.

In fact, the alliance does not allow everyone to enter the red zone across the board, let alone let so many usable materials go to waste.However, the top management of the alliance did not want the refugees to go to those areas without established rules to kill each other in order to find supplies like gold diggers, so they adopted a compromise method.

The government will issue licenses, provide necessary training, equipment, and equipment, and allow refugees to form semi-civilian and semi-official teams to enter the red zone for planned and orderly search and collection work. The name of this organization is called a freight company.

At present, there is only one license in the south of the city safety zone, which is the company called Jingshun that Shouhou's neighbor works for.No matter at any time, as long as it is a monopoly industry, there is no bad treatment.He worked as a team leader in the company and received 40 yuan a month as a salary.

As for work, it is not very tiring or dangerous. There are usually trucks to travel to and from, and the alliance soldiers are responsible for commanding and supervising.The only downside is that you have to travel frequently, and it's not uncommon to go for half a month or a month.

If you catch up with special tasks, such as following the alliance army to clean up the zombie-controlled area, you will be given a subsidy in addition to the normal salary.Anyway, he works alone, and it is no problem to support a family of three, and he doesn't have to live tight.

No matter how good other people's work is, what does it have to do with Skinny Monkey?This is the role of profiteers.He immediately smelled the smell of small money, and after trying twice, he found a good way to do business.

Through this neighbor's relationship, he met a squadron leader in the freight company, and after eating and drinking twice, he solved the purchase channel.Some of the goods retrieved by the shipping company will be provided to the refugees, that is, they will be sold in the market.

They found it troublesome to ask the freight company to send people to set up stalls in the market, so they simply found a few regular big merchants to wholesale the goods to them at wholesale prices, and then they sold them to retailers at a higher price.

Now the squadron leader of the shipping company has promised to use his power to reveal some scattered goods and sell them at wholesale prices.In this way, the thin monkey does not need to go to the market to let the wholesalers pick up the skin again.With the price advantage, even if there is no price war, the profit is higher than that of most retailers.

"In the future, our diplomatic work will depend on you. Anyone who thinks it can be used and who is helpful to us can make friends with us. Don't be afraid to spend money. This is fishing and making a nest, throwing a hundred catties of old corn beans, can you If you catch thirty catties of fish, you earn money!"

When Skinny Monkey sneaked back to the shantytown in the middle of the night to ask for instructions on whether he should rent a stall in the market, Hong Tao patted him on the shoulder to encourage him, which was 100% a good thing!

I can't show my face around to build a network of contacts, and it will be useless to count on the tigers and the others for a few short periods of time. If the thin monkey can make up for this shortcoming, it will solve the big problem.

In addition, Hong Tao has another plan. He plans to use Shouhou's booth to resell the goods collected from the red zone.This will not only not attract the attention of others, but also make more income.

If you want to ask, since there is a freight company, why can you find so many useful daily necessities in the red zone.Thin Monkey also found out about this matter from his neighbors, and he said it in one word, lazy!

The starting point of the freight company is to make money, not to be a good person.Therefore, when working, the first consideration is not how to cover everything, but how to reduce costs and increase income.

If the freight company's employees search carefully from house to house like Hong Tao and the others, it will not only waste labor but also delay time, and the harvested materials may not necessarily be of higher value.

The method they adopted was relatively rough. When making a plan, they first selected the ruins of towns that had not been collected before as the focus, and scanned them as quickly as possible after entering.

The order of priority for picking goods is that the First Alliance takes whatever it needs.After all, the license is issued by the alliance. Without the alliance, there is nothing. All the needs of the alliance must be met unconditionally.

The second is to consider what is easy to sell in the market.And try to find one that is small in size and light in weight.Suppose a sofa, a bicycle, a cigarette, a pack of instant noodles, and a battery all sell for 5 yuan in the market.

Then they will choose the goods in the order of batteries, instant noodles, cigarettes, bicycles, and sofas, unless there is space in the car, and the goods with high priority cannot be found, or the price of some goods is high recently, they will choose The goods with lower priority are taken.

In fact, the red zone around the safe zone has already been swept by them at least once, and the good things that are easier to find have been taken away years ago.This is why when Hong Tao and the others went to the red zone for the first time, they found that many street shops had been tampered with.

However, freight companies generally do not choose the red zone between the second and fifth ring roads in the south and southeast of the city. There is only one reason, there are too many zombie remains.

So many corpses have been piled up for several years, no one can tell if there will be any strange disease.To the west, north, and east of the city, there are still large areas that can be explored. If it is not possible to go to further towns, there is no need to come to this bad luck.

Then the question arises again, why doesn't the alliance issue more licenses and organize more freight companies to search for more goods and return them?Thin Monkey's neighbors didn't know about this, but Hong Tao could figure it out.

It's not that the alliance doesn't want to, but it can't.Organizing more manpower and teams is bound to start competition. After leaving the safe zone, it is urgent to grab the site, and the result is still dead.

Even if you can bear not to fight outside, you will still fight openly and secretly when you come back, and you will end up dead.It is not worth the loss for the alliance to exchange precious labor force for goods.

One reason is the economic account. The alliance has already issued currency, so it is necessary to stabilize the currency value as much as possible.What is the stability of currency value?Goods!If a large amount of goods poured directly into the market, prices would plummet immediately, and the economy would be over.That's right, it's not good to raise the price too much, and it's also not good to have the price too low.

At present, there is a freight company in the south of the city, the north of the city, and the east of the city, which can basically meet the needs of the alliance, and the high-level executives are not willing to spend more effort.

What they care about is that if the limited labor force is used to restore the production level of agriculture and industry as soon as possible, things that are too specific and too detailed will not be considered at all.

As for whether the refugees are comfortable sleeping on Simmons or hard board beds, whether there is suitable furniture available, as a high-level alliance, they will never think about it.At the current stage, it is perfect if these 10,000+ people can eat enough and not be frozen. There is no need to invest too much manpower, material resources and energy in small things.

"It's best for you and the water snake to each rent a booth. The freight company shouldn't buy too much, and we'll do the rest ourselves!"

Since the alliance can't take care of these trivial matters, then Hong Tao is ready to worry about the government.As the ancients said, the humble dare not forget the country's worries!The ancients said again, don't do something small.It's too good to say, no one is allowed to stop this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people, let's do it!

"Then where's my car repair shop?" Fat Sheep became envious when he heard that Shouhou and Water Snake were both up and running.

"Let's go together. I think the location across the street from Xiaolou is good. In the evening, you go to the red zone with us to find out what kind of wood is suitable for making tires. By the way, bring back a few more cars. Let's dismantle it tomorrow afternoon. open!"

Hong Tao did not forget about the car repair booth, but this business was not for making money.Put it near the small building as a hidden pile. You can watch the six directions and listen to the news from all directions at ordinary times. When something happens, you can increase the variables by surprise.

"Woooooo... thump, thump, thump..." Fat Sheep was about to grin, when he jumped up from the bench and squatted halfway by the door with a knife in his hand.At this time, there was a slight noise outside, as if someone was covering their mouth and struggling desperately.

Chapter 639 The touching little thief!

"Brother Mouse, there is a kid trying to eavesdrop and Bungy Pig found out!" A moment later, Lazy Dog came in from outside, still holding a person in his arms.

"Just him?" Hong Tao also took out his gun, and the tiger was even faster and had already blown out the oil lamp.

"Well, Bungy is still watching from the outside, and didn't find anyone else. This little guy is very ruthless, he almost stabbed me with a small stick in his hand!" Lazy Dog pushed the figure in his arms to the ground with a Stamping on one foot, cursing under his breath.

"...Wait, everyone who shouldn't be here will go first!" Hong Tao reached out his hand to stop the tiger from lighting the lamp, and let the thin monkey, water snake and fat sheep leave first.So far they haven't found anyone stalking them, which means that they probably haven't been exposed, so they have to continue lurking.

"Hey, the grinding is quite fast... Boy, let me ask you, who sent you here?" After the people left, the oil lamp was lit, and the tiger acted as the leader again.

I took the knife and looked at it, I don't know what it was sharpened with.Looking down at the person stepped on by the lazy dog, he smiled.It was a little boy, with a dirty face and clothes whose colors were almost blurred, but with bright eyes.

"I came by myself... slap..." The little boy clenched his fists and supported the ground trying to get up, but he couldn't hold the lazy dog's big feet, and he blushed as soon as he said five words before he was slapped on the head by the tiger's big slap superior.
