Chapter 19 Purchasing Supplies
Lin Shi picked up the phone.
Liao Peng's voice came from the phone:
"Boss, I have traveled all over Shashi these days and found three places that meet your requirements.
I have sent the detailed information to your WeChat, please take a look. "
"Okay, I have something to do now and will call you back later."
Lin Shi went to open the warehouse door first and unloaded the goods with a dozen porters.
Seven containers were unloaded, and it took more than three hours to put all the goods into the warehouse.
After all the workers left, Lin Shi put his hand on the pile of materials and put all the materials into the space.
Looking at the supplies that only took up the tip of the iceberg in the space, Lin Shi knew that this was just the beginning.
After taking a shower, Lin Shi checked the information sent by Liao Peng.
I have to say that he was not wrong about the person. The three places in the information sent by Liao Peng were in line with Lin Shi's requirements.
The terrain is high and the location is remote. There are no high-rise buildings around, so construction can start at any time.
One of the areas is particularly open. In the eastern suburbs of Shashi, it is more than enough to build a community, let alone build your own private shelter.
Lin Shi suspected that the official shelter in his previous life was built at this place.
If it is true and is requisitioned by the authorities in the future, his losses will be great. This place will pass.
Two places remain.
One is the mountain behind a village in the western suburbs. The mountain is only a dozen meters high and is more than ten kilometers away from the first open space. There once was a Taoist temple on the mountain.
Although the Taoist temple has collapsed, its foundation remains.
The last place is in a fishing village called Xidao along the coast of Shashi. There is a cliff more than ten meters high in the village, and there is an open homestead on it. Several families once lived on it, but they later moved away.
Lin Shi sent a text message to Liao Peng, asking him to find someone to survey the mountains and cliffs of the Taoist temple to check the geology.
He didn't want to live in a situation where the foundation of the house collapsed.
Although the cliffs are made of rock formations, the rock may have been weathered by wind and waves all year round, making it no longer suitable for building a shelter.
In contrast, the hilltop that was once a Taoist temple was more in line with his ideals.
But nothing will be known until the results come out.
After doing this, Lin Shi fell asleep.
In the next three days, all the fresh food delivered to the warehouse were fresh food that Lin Shi bought at the farmer's market. Lin Shi went to the nearby area and directly hired four people to go to the warehouse to be responsible for receiving and transporting them.
And he ran to the timber market on the 8th.
After the extreme cold, when humans lost power, natural gas pipelines in various countries were frozen and leaked.
Humanity has a great need for fire sources.
Without fire, it was impossible to eat cooked food and hot rice. Most of the survivors had to live a life of eating raw materials and drinking blood.
Countless people froze to death in their sleep because of the cold.
Therefore, wood is also extremely precious.
Lin Shi directly bought 500 tons of fire wood.
Fire wood is much cheaper than ordinary wooden boards, and they are all scrap wood and scraps.
This much wood alone would require 25 containers. Fortunately, Lin Shi ordered a large quantity, otherwise the lumber market would not be willing to load and unload Lin Shi's goods.
Then there are gas cylinders, and I buy as much coal as I can.
Linshi bought 800 tons of coal.
Next is the purchase of windproof lighters, flints, windproof matches, etc.
And I ordered cold medicine, antibiotics, disinfectant, emergency bandages, and other medical supplies online.
There are also survival equipment such as respirators, oxygen tanks, tactical axes, jungle knives, and explosion-proof suits.
On the 9th, Lin Shi went to the largest generator factory in Hai City and purchased ten portable generators, ten household generators, and two industrial generators.
Except for industrial generators, all others chose the quietest gasoline generators.
Industrial generators are only used as backup for situations where extreme power is required. Diesel is used, but it is noisy.
Normally a household generator is sufficient.
Then came the wires.
After the extreme cold apocalypse, even if the circuits were not destroyed by electromagnetic storms, the exposed wires outdoors were basically frozen.
Therefore, Lin Shi has considered connecting the wires indoors so that the electricity in the shelter can form a cycle of its own.
In order to avoid power outages caused by unexpected situations such as aging lines or short circuits, Lin Shi purchased tens of thousands of meters of various wires as backup.
Diesel and petrol follow closely behind.
If you want to use a generator, you must stock up on diesel and gasoline.
However, private trading of oil is prohibited. If you fill up the tank and then export it, you don't know how long it will take to get enough oil.
So Lin Shi visited "Sincerity Pawn Shop" again.
...
"You want 100 tons of diesel? 100 tons of gasoline. Do you think I'm operating a gas station?"
Xie Qingshan looked at Lin Shi with an expression of "Are you kidding me?"
Lin Shi smiled bitterly.
100 tons is not much at all. The fuel tank of an SUV with a large fuel tank is 100 liters. If you fill it up more than ten times, it will be one ton.
Naturally, if you stock up on your own, you have to stock up on more.
No one knows when the apocalypse will end, at least there is no sign of it ending in the extremely cold eighth year of the apocalypse.
If Xie Jinxin can't do anything, then he can only buy a car with a large enough fuel tank and go to different gas stations to refuel and collect gas.
Just as Lin Shi was about to leave, Xie Jinxin pondered for a moment and said:
"However, I can handle it for you within ten tons."
Lin Shi's eyes flashed with joy, and when he noticed Xie Jinxin's probing eyes, he quickly calmed down.
"How much?"
"Ten tons of gasoline and ten tons of diesel for two kilograms of gold."
Two kilograms of gold is more than 800,000.
Good guy, the price of diesel oil is less than 10,000 yuan per ton, and the price of gasoline is more than 10,000 yuan per ton.
Even if they cost ten tons each, they only cost more than 200,000 yuan. Xie Jinxin directly increased the price by more than four times!
"Don't think it's expensive. I'm not into this kind of thing. I'm taking a lot of risks. If you don't want it, forget it." Xie Jinxin said.
Lin Shi was naturally not someone to be manipulated. There were still replicas of gold bars left in his space, but the amount of the transaction was up to him:
"Twenty tons of gasoline, twenty tons of diesel, and I'll give you five kilograms of gold."
Seeking wealth and honor in danger, Xie Jinxin gritted his teeth and agreed.
Seeing Xie Jinxin agreeing so readily, Lin Shi's eyes moved and asked: "Can you get me some medicine? The price is easy to talk about."
"Tell me, what on earth did you prepare these things for?"
Lin Shi asked for more and more strange things. Although it was taboo to ask customers about their purpose, he was so curious.
It’s a cold weapon, it’s a cold-proof suit, it’s oil and it’s medicine, what’s this for?
Is it true that he wants to settle in Antarctica as this young man said?
Xie Jinxin began to think about this incredible possibility.
Lin Shi naturally would not say the real purpose, "Didn't I say it? To settle in Antarctica."
Next, Lin Times gave Xie Jinxin antibiotics, cold medicine, medicine for external injuries and internal injuries, etc.
Xie Jinxin was hesitant and negotiated the price with Lin Shi.
After leaving the pawn shop, Lin Shi thought for a while and planned to go to the electrical appliance market to buy some electrical appliances.
They will be used for many years in the apocalypse, so buy some of every necessary electrical appliance.
Soon, Lin Shi arrived at the largest electrical appliance mall in Hai City.
