Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Crazily Purchasing Billions of Supplies to Fill the Space
In her previous life, Liu Ruyan also joined in the scramble for supplies.
However, at that time, the owners of small vendors were all reluctant to part with their supplies and very few were willing to sell them. The large supermarkets and shopping malls were still in business, but with everyone rushing to buy, she couldn't get much.
Moreover, because she was a girl living alone, she was targeted by some ill - intentioned people. Fortunately, Liu Ruyan had been learning martial arts since she was a child. Before the age of ten, she had been a lay disciple in the Shaolin Temple, and her skills were far beyond those of ordinary people, which enabled her to protect herself.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan wrote two words on the first line of the document - weapons.
Weapons are extremely important. Liu Ruyan considered herself to have a relatively high combat ability, but fighting empty - handed and with proper weapons are two completely different levels of combat effectiveness.
Apart from weapons, clothing, food, shelter, and transportation also need to be properly arranged. Liu Ruyan's fingers flew over the keyboard, and the text in the document grew more and more.
When she had written almost everything, Liu Ruyan printed out the entire document. She intended to buy things one by one according to the record above, so that she would not easily miss anything.
Liu Ruyan changed into a set of convenient sportswear, tied her long hair into a bun, picked up the keys and wallet, and immediately went out.
Taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, Liu Ruyan pressed the key and then followed the sound to find her car. It had been years, and Liu Ruyan had forgotten where her parking space was.
Liu Ruyan's parents started from scratch, but they were very business - minded. In just ten years, they accumulated a huge fortune and had Liu Ruyan.
Because Liu Ruyan was kidnapped when she was three years old, after she was rescued with great difficulty, her parents sent her to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts to strengthen herself. In order not to fall behind in her studies, they also hired cultural teachers of various subjects to live with Liu Ruyan in the Shaolin Temple. In those years, Liu Ruyan had no rest day or night. It was impossible for her not to be tired while practicing martial arts and learning various kinds of knowledge at the same time.
But every day during the apocalypse, Liu Ruyan was extremely grateful to her parents. Fortunately, they sent her to learn martial arts. Otherwise, as a young girl living alone in that apocalyptic world where people were preying on each other, she would have had no way to protect herself.
Liu Ruyan's parents died in an air crash last year. Liu Ruyan's parents were both only children, and their grandparents had passed away in previous years. After her parents died, Liu Ruyan was the only one left in the Su family.
After handling her parents' funerals, Liu Ruyan sold the company. Liu Ruyan was different from her parents and had no business acumen. When her parents were still alive, they had discussed this issue with Liu Ruyan. They said that if one day they were gone and Liu Ruyan didn't want to manage the company, she could sell it. The money from the sale would be enough for Liu Ruyan to live a comfortable life. Liu Ruyan sold the company for 2.1 billion. If there were no accidents, this huge sum of money could indeed ensure Liu Ruyan a worry - free life. However, the arrival of the apocalypse had shattered all of this.
Liu Ruyan thought that if her parents saw her miserable life in the previous life, they would be heartbroken. But in this life, she would do her best to prepare well and enable herself to live better and longer during the apocalypse.
Although Liu Ruyan was an exquisitely beautiful girl, because of her martial arts training since childhood, she had a resolute character and her preferences were different from those of ordinary girls. Liu Ruyan didn't like flashy and beautiful sports cars. Instead, she liked off - road vehicles. She was currently driving a Hummer. It had two rows with five seats and an extra - large trunk, which was very suitable for transporting goods later.
Liu Ruyan first drove to the barber shop and had her waist - length hair cut. Liu Ruyan's hair was naturally curly, had never been permed or dyed, and the quality was very good. But cutting her waist - length hair to neck - length, Liu Ruyan didn't feel a bit sorry. Such long hair was too troublesome to wash and would be too conspicuous during the apocalypse. With short hair and wearing a hat, even if she washed her hair, others wouldn't be able to tell.
After leaving the barber shop, Liu Ruyan didn't go to the supermarket or shopping mall but directly to the largest wholesale market.
The wholesale market had a complete variety of goods, the prices were cheap, and there would be more discounts for large quantities. Even with 2.1 billion in hand, Liu Ruyan had to be careful with her calculations and spend every penny seriously.
When she arrived near the wholesale market, Liu Ruyan parked the car and first rented a warehouse in a remote location for three months. After renting the warehouse, getting the keys, and checking to confirm that there were no cameras in the warehouse, Liu Ruyan locked the door and went to the wholesale market.
Liu Ruyan first ordered a batch of shelves. These shelves were two meters long, three meters high, and fifty centimeters wide. The retail price was 250 yuan each. Since Liu Ruyan ordered a thousand at once, the boss was beaming with joy and took the initiative to give her a large discount, charging her 240 yuan each, for a total of 240,000 yuan. Liu Ruyan paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan, left her mobile phone number and the address of the warehouse, and asked the boss to call her when delivering the goods the next day.
Liu Ruyan planned to assemble these shelves and arrange them like in a supermarket, dividing them into various areas and placing things on them, so that it would be easier to find things when using them.
After leaving this store, Liu Ruyan went to the grain store. The grain store's business was good. Liu Ruyan had to wait for a while before the boss had time to attend to her.
"Little girl, what would you like to buy?"
While waiting, Liu Ruyan had carefully looked at the things in the store. The store was large and had a very complete variety of goods. Hearing the boss's question, Liu Ruyan slowly said, "1,000 bags of Wuchang rice, 1,000 bags of pearl rice, 1,000 bags of Changlixiang rice. 1,000 bags each of ordinary flour, high - gluten flour, medium - gluten flour, and low - gluten flour. 2,000 jin each of glutinous rice, sticky rice, millet, coix seed, black rice, and purple rice. 2,000 jin each of red beans, mung beans, kidney beans, soybeans, black beans, cowpeas, broad beans, and peas. 2,000 jin each of cornmeal, bean flour, sweet potato flour, sorghum flour, mung bean flour, and buckwheat flour. How many types of starch do you have? Give me 2... 500 jin of each."
Liu Ruyan said all this i
It was actually less than 2 million?n one breath and then noticed that the boss was looking at her blankly. Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows. "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"
The boss then came to his senses and looked Liu Ruyan up and down. "Little girl, you're not here to play a joke on me, are you?"
Liu Ruyan frowned. "Why would I play a joke on you? I'm going to open a large shopping mall myself, and I'm here to purchase goods today."
The boss looked at Liu Ruyan with a complicated expression, obviously still not believing her.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan simply said, "Calculate the total amount of what I want first. I'll pay you half of the deposit. Then you should believe me."
Seeing that Liu Ruyan was serious, the boss, still somewhat skeptical, picked up the calculator and started pressing buttons.
Ten minutes later, the boss handed the written bill to Liu Ruyan. Liu Ruyan skipped the unit prices in front and directly looked at the total.
For so many things, it was only a little over 1.8 million yuan.
Seeing that Liu Ruyan didn't say anything, the boss was about to take back the bill. He knew it. This girl must be here to play a joke on him. How could anyone open a shopping mall and come to the wholesale market to purchase goods?
Just then, a fair, jade - like, slender hand pressed on the bill. "Boss, what's your account number? I'll transfer the money to you right away!"
