Chapter 440 Food store trial operation
However, Liu Cheng and the others also discovered that they were insufficiently prepared.
That was the potion Han Xuexue brought, and it was all used up in just a few days.
Now she and the doctor are using the medicine reserves brought by the Aocheng Group.
But Han Xuexue had promised the residents of Black Rock City before that medical treatment would be free of charge.
If this continues, the Ao Cheng Group will once again be doing charity for the people of Black Rock City.
One or two days is no problem. After all, Aocheng Group is not poor and can hold on.
But if this continues year after year, this expenditure will definitely be unstoppable.
Let's not talk about whether we can make up for it with the black gold and the money from the tissues and organs of the alien creatures killed by the king's army.
The medicine they brought this time alone can support consumption for another half month at most.
So Liu Cheng took advantage of the group's high-level meeting to raise this issue.
Ryan nodded and said:
"I see.
When the follow-up personnel arrive, I will ask them to purchase more medicines. "
Augustine said to Ryan:
“This is not a question of purchasing or not purchasing drugs.
The problem is that we can save the people of Black Rock City for a while, but we cannot save them for the rest of their lives.
As for the so-called rescue of emergencies but not of poverty, the key is to focus on the nature of poverty. "
Liu Cheng nodded in agreement and said:
"That's the truth, I have an idea now.
We don’t charge for medical treatment, but we can charge for medicines.
Of course, our purpose is not to make money from the people of Black Rock City.
It is to optimize the distribution of limited supplies.
For example, the ‘least valuable’ hard currency in Black Rock City is black gold. We price medicines based on the market price of black gold in other star regions.
In this way, patients who are more seriously ill must have priority in purchasing drugs.
Even the poorest people in Black Rock City can afford the medicine after working for several months on Black Rock Star, which is full of black gold ore. "
Augustine clapped his hands and praised:
"That's a good idea.
By the way, didn't we bring a lot of other supplies before, including food and daily necessities?
I didn't think about how to distribute it at first.
We can also follow the distribution idea of medicines and sell them to the people of Black Rock City using black gold as the selling price. "
When Augustine, Ryan and others came in a large battleship, they brought a full ship and a half of supplies.
Except for all the weapons and ammunition being sent to the Veterans Alliance, other supplies were basically not used.
First of all, it is inappropriate to give it to the people of Black Rock City in vain.
Not to mention that Aocheng Group also has thousands of employees to support.
The remaining supplies alone are not enough for the people of Black Rock City.
The use of black gold resources for sales is different.
While it can generate income for Aocheng Group, it can also benefit the people of Black Rock City.
It can be said to be a win-win approach.
Ryan also nodded and said:
"Okay, I'm going to organize people to try it out."
Shortly after the meeting, a large notice board was pasted at the door of the medical site.
In order to prevent the people of Black Rock City from misunderstanding, Ryan also asked his employees to place a holographic projector next to the notice board.
The main thing is to play the just-recorded video explaining the terms of free drug charges for medical treatment and the purpose of doing so.
After detailed explanation, the people of Black Rock City also understood the intention of Aocheng Group's change.
This is to prioritize the distribution of limited medicines to those who need them more.
The people of Black Rock City did not protest, and they all agreed with this rule change.
If the remaining people in Black Rock City did not have such unity, they would not be able to persist until now.
Seeing that the people accepted such rule changes, Ryan also ordered the employees of Aocheng Group to continue the next work.
Not long after the drug charge announcement was issued.
The people of Blackstone City who were queuing up saw again that a new station pavilion had been erected next to the medical station.
Everyone was curious, wondering if the Aocheng Group was planning to open another medical site?
Not long after, they saw a signboard in front of the newly built pavilion.
"Ao Cheng Group Food Store?"
Someone read it subconsciously.
As a result, everyone around him reacted after hearing this sentence.
Aocheng Group did not open a new medical site, but a food store! !
You must know that in the Black Sand Star Territory, the two easiest items to obtain are black gold ore and the corpses of alien creatures.
The two most difficult things to obtain are not parts for various mechanical spaceships.
Nor is it the core of energy power.
But seemingly worthless food and medicine!
Those who can line up in front of the medical station are those who have obtained today's queue number.
When they see food for sale, they don’t care what it is for sale.
Everyone in the team behind them rushed over there.
This caused the employees responsible for guarding the food store site to shout:
"Keep order!
The store will directly block people who don’t line up! "
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately lined up obediently.
The staff of Aocheng Group saw that the blocking method was very effective, so they tidied up their work clothes and the smiles on their faces, returned to the site and asked the first person in line:
"Hello sir, what do you need to buy?"
This lucky guy who ran very fast didn't know what he wanted to buy, so he asked:
"What do you sell here?"
The staff pointed to the small print on the sign and said:
"The products and prices are all on it, you can see for yourself.
Try to be quick and don't waste the time of the people behind you."
The man looked at the small print on the sign and found that there were indeed products and prices on it.
"Bread/100 grams of black gold per piece.
Canned meat/300 grams of black gold per can.
Canned fruit/300 grams of black gold per bottle..."
And there was a bracket behind the price, which read:
"This is the first day of trial operation of our store, and all products are at trial operation prices.
Depending on the adjustment of supply and demand, prices may fluctuate greatly, please understand."
This explanation was also added by Liu Cheng.
The black gold equipment that Liu Cheng saw for the first time before was not Zhou Zun's two black gold long swords.
It was the black gold dagger for dissection that Augustine gave to Liu Cheng.
The market price of a small black gold dagger alone is 1.5 million Galaxy coins.
The grinding process of black gold ore is extremely complicated, which is why the premium is so high after it is forged into a finished product.
But under normal circumstances, the market price of 300 grams of refined black gold ore will not be less than 700,000 or 800,000 Galaxy coins.
Use 700,000 or 800,000 Galaxy coins of black gold ore to exchange for a dozen Galaxy coins of canned fruit.
In other star regions, everyone would definitely think that the Aocheng Group is crazy for being poor.
But in Black Stone City, no one would think that the Aocheng Group is taking advantage of the situation.
