#233 - Chapter 233 Popular Mosquito Repellent Bracelet

As expected, the first product to sell out at the Trade Association was a small gadget: a mosquito repellent bracelet.

It was currently summer, and the probability of being infected with a virus from a mosquito bite was very high. In the past, people used clumsy methods, burning wormwood in their residences to drive them away with smoke. Not only was it choking, but the effect was not very ideal. Some people speculated that those who were likely to attract mosquitoes had mostly died last year. Therefore, since the beginning of summer this year, it was rare to see people infected with viruses from mosquito bites.

Perhaps this was the most primitive natural selection! Cruel, yet invisibly maintaining the continuation of the species!

Now, the mosquito repellent bracelet sold by the Trade Association has completely changed this.

A mosquito repellent bracelet for 10 points was now basically affordable for everyone. The small thing had a big effect.

Its working principle was very simple. After being worn, the bracelet could absorb the infrared radiation of the human body and convert it into energy. This energy was enough to support it to continuously release several frequencies of electromagnetic waves and ultrasonic waves. People could not feel the existence of these waves, but they had a good repellent effect on common mosquitoes.

It didn't need to be charged or maintained. As long as it was worn on the hand, it could prevent mosquitoes from approaching, which was simply gospel for all survivors.

Therefore, on the day the Trade Association opened, all the settlements combined sold 2 million pieces.

In response, the people from the various Trade Association branches also gave the settlements a trick. They taught them how to use this information gap to make a small profit.

Currently, only these 20 settlements have reached cooperation with the Trade Association. But everyone needs this kind of mosquito repellent bracelet. Then they could sell these bracelets to other settlements and earn a price difference.

Why did the Trade Association do this? Because most of the settlements were not yet covered, but summer would pass quickly. If they didn't sell the goods during the hottest time, it would be difficult to sell them when the weather turned cold.

And for the various settlements, this was a pain point and a rigid demand. It wouldn't be too much to double the profit by selling them casually, right?

As for the other settlements that didn't have points, this was easy to solve.

The Trade Association could provide special point loans.

The various settlements could apply for a loan from the Trade Association headquarters for the purpose of purchasing emergency supplies in the short term. However, interest would be charged on the loan.

When the Trade Association settles in the settlement later, it would be deducted from the land transfer fee.

In this way, they could use future points to do current things.

The cooperating settlements were extremely excited when they heard this idea. Having tasted the sweetness of points, who would嫌 having more points now? This was the benefit of being the first batch to eat crabs, with the most profit.

So, this news began to spread quickly among the various settlements.

August 3, 2055, morning.

Many settlement leaders once again flocked to the Trade Association base headquarters in Binjiang.

Everyone's purpose here was very pure, to apply for point loans.

The staff at the headquarters had already arranged everything, just waiting for everyone to sign the contract.

Assembly line operation, submit information, review, apply for a membership card, a one-stop service.

Dongfang Chen estimated that the single bracelet product would conservatively sell 500 million pieces.

According to the selling price of 10 points per bracelet, that would be 5 billion points in sales.

The exchange ratio of points to crystal cores was 100 to 1. According to this ratio, a total of 50 million crystal cores could be earned! And his production cost, it can be said that there was no cost.

The bracelet itself did not need to implant crystal core energy, it did not need to use crystal core energy to drive it. It was nothing more than wasting some materials, and then the workshops that produced these bracelets needed to consume some energy. The raw materials could be directly extracted from the soil and rock formations by the bee-ant robots, averaging to less than 1 point of loss per bracelet.

So don't look at this thing as small, it was precisely because it was small and a rigid demand that it could become a爆款 among爆款. Its ability to attract money was definitely not much worse than combat uniforms.

His other purpose in doing this was to try to avoid the spread of the virus and reduce human casualties. Of course, he was not a savior, and saving people had to be profitable. If there was no profit, he said he couldn't afford to save them.

......

While the various settlements were busy earning points, Kyoto was brewing a major event.

After resting in the Southwest Military Region for a few days, Baili Ji quietly returned to Kyoto.

Kyoto was still under martial law at this time.

The fake Baili Ji was, after all, the nominal speaker.

He issued an order to the Central Military Region to block all entrances and exits through official channels. Secretly, the Red Robe Sect was also lurking in various living circles in Kyoto, secretly investigating news.

With a combination of open and secret methods, after a few days, they still hadn't found any news.

The mysterious gang that broke into the villa and rescued people had disappeared like vapor, and could not be found no matter what.

And what was even more strange was, if Baili Ji had escaped, why hadn't anyone come to question him? Even if others didn't know the situation, Shen Tu Zheng Hao probably already knew the inside story. But even he didn't show any expression, and resumed the construction project of the Mosang Ark base a few days ago, which was strange.

The fake Baili Ji sat in the office, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The situation was very unclear. He felt that the crisis was approaching step by step, but he couldn't figure out where the crisis would break out from.
