Chapter 139: The Business of the Dragon King Palace
However, the hotel's signboard has been removed and replaced by a new one, but the writing on it is crooked and unflattering.
"Dragon King Hall".
Just three words.
Wei Ming observed that there were many people going in, and just as many people coming out, and a fight even broke out. With the sound of a gunshot, someone fell into a pool of blood. The victorious side took away the deceased's belongings and spread the word. Then, several people ran out of the hotel with mops. They first carried the body away and then dragged it up to the ground.
In addition, Wei Ming also saw a van approaching. After stopping, he escorted several young women out and pushed them into the hotel.
Among the people who came out, some brought food, and some were women, with their hands tied and led out, like... cows or sheep.
Wei Ming understood that this place should become a trading market, and it is estimated that everything, including people, is a "commodity" that can be traded.
Go check it out.
Wei Ming walked out of the darkness and walked towards the "Dragon King Palace", and no one glanced at him along the way.
As soon as I walked into the hotel door, there was a huge noise inside, as noisy as a vegetable market.
A younger brother came up to him with a poop: "Brother, you look like you are your first time back, right?"
Wei Ming laughed: "Can you see this?"
As he spoke, he used space radar to explore the surroundings.
There were 16 people around, but none of them were evolved, but 12 of them had guns and 15 of them had knives - some of them had both guns and knives.
There is no good fault.
"Hey, when you are an errand runner, your eyesight is the most important." The boy said, "Brother, let me introduce you."
"Our Dragon King Palace was founded by our eldest brother, Brother Long. This is a large market. No matter what supplies you want, you can buy them here - such as guns, beauties, and even big stars."
Seeing Wei Ming's slightly curious look, he hurriedly elaborated: "Today, a big star will be auctioned later. It's Zhao Mei who was very popular in the past, but later was taken in indecent photos and then retreated to the third tier. The starting price is It’s 1,000 dragon coins.”
"Dragon Coin?" Wei Ming was surprised, what kind of cryptocurrency is this?
He is not interested in that big star. After all, he is almost 40 years old, and he has no interest in letting the eagle eat the chicken.
"Oh, it's the currency issued by our brother Long. You can only use dragon coins for transactions here." The younger brother explained.
Hold the grass, this is awesome.
Wei Ming was surprised. This "Brother Long" is equivalent to having the power to mint coins. Can't he just lay down and make money?
Just like the beautiful family, why can they harvest the whole world?
Isn’t it because they control the world’s coinage?
However, the reason why the United States can maintain its dollar hegemony is because of their strong military strength - of course, it is not as good as every year, but the skinny camels are bigger than horses, which can still allow them to survive for a while. After all, there are still three kilograms of iron in the rotten ship.
This Brother Long has the right to mint coins and can make money on his own. Without strong support, this place would have been snatched away long ago.
"Brother, if you want to shop here, you have to exchange dragon coins first, or set up a stall here to sell supplies in exchange for dragon coins." The younger brother continued, "Bartering is strictly prohibited here. If you find out, hehe, kill Wu Wu amnesty!"
If you barter, you can skip Brother Long's right to mint money, which is equivalent to damaging Brother Long's interests.
Did Brother Long work in economics before?
Wei Ming was quite curious. He smiled and said, "I'll look around first. If I see something suitable, I'll exchange it for dragon coins."
The younger brother responded repeatedly without any intention of disliking Wei Ming.
——His eyes are very poisonous. It’s the end of the world now. Who doesn’t look sallow and haggard? But as for Wei Ming, even though the weather is hot, everyone can wear as much as they can. After the apocalypse, you can buy any brand-name clothing for zero yuan, and as long as it can cover your shame, who cares whether it is a big brand or not?
But Wei Ming's energy and energy are so good that it seems he has never suffered!
If you haven’t suffered in the last days, what does that mean?
He has a lot of supplies and has no worries about food and drink.
What is hard currency now?
Food, water!
Therefore, Wei Ming is naturally a rich man in the new era!
In the Dragon King's Palace, for how many dragon coins a guest exchanges, the younger brother they introduce will get a 2% commission. Therefore, Wei Ming's wealth is completely related to his income. How can this younger brother not be interested?
Accompanied by this little brother, Wei Ming started shopping.
The lobby on the first floor has now completely become a market with stalls. Many people are selling and bargaining. It is very lively.
Judging from this level of excitement, does this look like the end of the world?
Not like that.
But look at what they are selling?
Guns, bullets, women!
This can only happen in the last days.
"Brother, we don't charge stall fees here. However, if you like a certain stall and it is already occupied by someone, you can also pay dragon coins and we will evict the people and free up the stall for you." The younger brother continued to introduce.
"We can sell everything here, but we can't sell rice and pure water. We can only exchange them for dragon coins. You can also use dragon coins to exchange them back for rice or water. Of course, some handling fees will be charged."
Wei Ming smiled: "Then what is the most valuable?"
"Of course it's beauties, especially former female stars and internet celebrities. Of course, some rich women will also buy male stars. We have received several commissions." The younger brother laughed, "However, our Dragon King Hall has only been open for six days now, and the beauties are limited to Haidu City, but as long as time goes by, hehe, even foreign stars can definitely be brought here."
Is this just empty talk?
"And cigarettes have become a luxury now." The younger brother continued, "Even in the end of the world, there are still many people who are addicted to cigarettes. A pack of ordinary Hongmei can be sold for 20 dragon coins, and soft Zhonghua, hehe, 100 dragon coins!"
"Brother, do you still remember the female star I just mentioned?"
"She used to be a first-line star, and the starting price was only 1,000 dragon coins, but a pack of Huazi is 100. Just think about it, how expensive are cigarettes?"
Wei Ming nodded, that's true.
"If you have cigarettes, we will buy them directly from the Dragon King Hall, but we can't sell them at the original price. We have to give you 20% off." The younger brother continued, "The advantage is that we can handle any amount, otherwise you can only sell them in small quantities. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to sell a pack for several days."
It's amazing. We give you 20% off for cigarettes, and we have to charge handling fees for exchanging them for rice and water. In addition, we have the right to mint coins and can "print money" at will. It's hard for Brother Long not to get rich.
Moreover, if he can print money himself, what big orders can't he handle?
It won't be long before someone will challenge Brother Long and snatch this business, or open a similar Dragon King Hall or Phoenix Palace somewhere else. Then there will definitely be a war between the two, and one side will end in the complete destruction of the other.
The hegemony of minting coins can only be in the hands of one person or one force.
"Brother, there are no good goods on the first floor. The good things are on the second floor, including the auction house." The younger brother began to sell hard, "However, you need to verify your capital to go to the second floor. You can't go there if you don't have 1,000 dragon coins."
