Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 62 Big is good, good is big

Compared to the last time we met, Qian Su's face was a little thinner, but she looked energetic. It seemed that business was good recently.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry."

She clasped her hands together and smiled ingratiatingly: "This time we came five days later than expected. It was mainly due to the heavy snow and a difficult customer from Tianjin."

"He took his damaged merchandise and insisted that I, the seller, replace it with a new one. I agreed to repair it for free, but he was still not satisfied and took me to court. In the end, the matter was resolved through mediation, but it affected my schedule."

Zhou Yi said: "I understand, let's trade first."

He took Qian Su into the container warehouse. Seeing the dazzling array of prehistoric human goods inside, the girl's eyes sparkled.

"I'm going to sell some wine."

Zhou Yi opened the box against the wall and took out a bottle of Erguotou: "How much is this?"

Qian Su took the glass bottle with both hands, examined it carefully through his round-frame glasses, and appraised the bottle itself and the sealing process.

"Among Dead Sea aged wines, this is an E-grade product. It is in good condition and the film has not been opened. I give it a 5-grade rating."

Zhou Yi nodded.

He dug out another bottle of Jiannanchun from the haystack: "Look at this."

Qian Su slowly rotated the bottle in a circle. After observing it, she showed a somewhat embarrassed look: "I can't say for sure, this may still be an E-grade product, but this bottle has a lot of quantity, 15 light seeds."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "This price is wrong."

The other party blinked and said, "Tell me about it."

Zhou Yi asked: "First of all, Dead Sea wine is aged for drinking, right?"

"Yes. Although it has special effects in some cases, it is still a luxury drink."

The girl said.

Zhou Yi had an idea in mind.

"Then I can tell you that this bottle of 'Crystal Sword' Jiannanchun is 100 times more expensive than this bottle of Erguotou."

The girl was stunned this time, and then immediately asked with a thirsty look: "Can you tell me in detail why the price difference is so big? Although I have come into contact with some Dead Sea aged wines, to be honest, I have only come into contact with Class E wines... I am still very lacking in knowledge and judgment in this area."

Zhou Yixin said, how would I know how the price of wine is set?

This was the price gap in shopping malls in the past.

Zhou Yi did not answer, but took out another bottle of white wine and asked Qiansu to identify it.

"How much do you think this is worth?"

After touching and observing it this time, Qian Su blurted out: "Grade A 'white bottle'! Good condition, the film has not been opened, the market standard price is 1000 light seeds."

Huh?
Zhou Yi was a little surprised this time.

Humans in the wasteland age actually know the value of Moutai.

But compared with the past, the premium of Moutai in this era has dropped a little.

"Do you know this one?"

"Mr. Zhou, please stop laughing at me." Qian Su waved her hand: "Although I am not specialized in the Dead Sea aged wine business, I still know a little about this kind of collectible treasures..."

"I think I understand what you mean."

She suddenly became thoughtful: "Dead Sea aged wine is indeed rare and valuable, but the price of the "Crystal Sword" you mentioned, even if it is a B-grade product, is unlikely to reach 400 light seeds. Not everyone is as knowledgeable as you are and has tasted various aged wines... Most customers either buy them to collect and hoard them for value preservation, or use them for special celebrations or gifts."

"In terms of value preservation, A-grade items are the best because they are rare. B-grade items often appear in the world due to some underwater discoveries. Unfortunately, they lack the most important collection and value preservation capabilities, so they cannot be compared with A-grade items."

"The price of a Grade B aged wine fluctuates around 200 light years. I dare not lie to you."

Zhou Yixin said it was outrageous.

I didn’t expect that in this era, Moutai can still maintain its value due to some strange coincidences.

Zhou Yi said: "I'll sell all those just now, you can order some."

Qiansu's eyes widened: "Ah...Okay."

Zhou Yi had thought about it before.

He doesn't like drinking, so there's no point in keeping the alcohol. At most, everyone drinks it during company team-building events. Stock up on cola, juice, Sprite, and the like.

Cash out first.

After counting the wine, Qian Su said, "There are 75 bottles of Dead Sea aged wine in total, 3 bottles of A-grade "white bottle", totaling 2000 light seeds, 7 bottles of B-grade "crystal sword", totaling 1400 light seeds, and 22 bottles of E-grade, totaling 110 light seeds."

"This batch of goods totals 3510 light seeds."

Zhou Yi confirmed that there was no problem, and Qiansu used the Guangna Box to pay the amount.

"Are there any cigarettes left?"

He then pointed to the well-packaged cigarette boxes on the shelf nearby.

Qiansu said yes, but she also reminded: "Because of the diversity of flavors and the special taste brought by the light film sealing, Dead Sea aged wine has been difficult to imitate so far. But the taste of Dead Sea tobacco is too light and has a small audience. People prefer the strong tobacco produced in local cities, such as Xiaoyanling, which is the closest to here, which specializes in tobacco leaf planting and processing." "So the price of Dead Sea tobacco is not high. Even the A-grade product will not cost more than 50 light seeds, and the E-grade is only worth 1 light seed."

Zhou Yi learned through the Red Falcon that what Qian Su said was indeed true.

But it doesn’t matter.

The cost of these goods is very low, and only some labor is consumed in transportation.

After calculating, Qian Su said, "...this batch of Dead Sea tobacco has a total of 245 species. What do you think?"

Zhou Yi agreed.

The two men negotiated the most important deal and then returned to room 3101.

"Look, this is the latest list of goods."

Qian Gu handed over a brand new quotation sheet.

This time the paper is larger and has more items listed.

Zhou Yi was looking at the names and prices above.

Qian Su looked around the room, and suddenly his eyes stopped in one direction. He exclaimed, "Mr. Zhou, can you give me this bowl...?"

She walked into the kitchen and pointed to the dishes inside.

Zhou Yi was stunned: "Those are the plates I use to eat."

"Can you sell me some, just a little bit?" Qian Su looked eager.

"what price?"

"If there is no problem with the quality, the price of an ordinary small-sized Age of God vessel is 1 light seed. But if it is a set of 3 or 5, the price can reach 15 light seeds, which is doubled."

Qian Su explained: "The price of the Shinto vessels is not expensive, but the demand is huge. Many wealthy people like this unique handicraft from the Shinto period. Many cities have tried to reproduce it, but at most they can produce relatively smooth pottery with low transparency and insufficient hardness. The difference in touch and appearance is still very obvious."

"The profit of aged wine may be higher, but the buyers are relatively fixed and the transaction cycle is long. This is very fast, and the payment can be made immediately after it is put on the market. For a small business like mine, quick payment is the most important thing."

The girl continued, "In addition to being used as dining decorations, these utensils are also high-end tools sought after by alchemists and craftsmen. They can insulate and heat well without being damaged, and are used in some precise production processes, which is of great significance."

"Especially yours."

Qian Su pointed to the extra-large bowl on the kitchen table - Zhou Yi originally thought that this would be more convenient for eating, as it would be more enjoyable to eat from a large bowl.

"The bigger the model, the rarer it is, the more scenarios it can be used in, and the higher its value. This thing also suits my personal preference. Big is better, and good is big."

She pleaded actively: "I'll give you 10 light seeds for this, can you give me some?"

Zhou Yi's face twitched: "Of course, I can, but I haven't washed the bowl yet."

"It's okay, I'll wash it."

Qian Su said as he dug out the kettle he carried with him, took out a towel, and was about to pour some water.

"Need not."

Zhou Yi pointed to the sink next to him, where there was a U-shaped stainless steel faucet, which he had also removed from the underwater community.

"Turn this to the right and there will be hot water."

Qian Gu tried it and saw steaming water coming out of the faucet. She couldn't help but look envious: "Clean hot water, just turn it on, it's so convenient and comfortable to live inside the Dead Sea alien... Only someone like you can enjoy the alien's service."

Then the girl began to scrub the dishes carefully with a towel.

As she worked, she said, "If you still have bowls like this and don't want them after you use them, leave them for me and I'll wash them next time and take them away."

"Row……"

Zhou Yi was feeling a little weird at this moment.

He had wanted to sell the unwashed dishes to Qian Su before, but it was just a casual thought and he felt it was a bit too much. Unexpectedly, Qian Su actually took the initiative to do it.

I can only say that it is not easy for businessmen, as they have to go to customers’ homes and do housework for them.

Qian Su was washing dishes when she suddenly said, "I got the news that Commander Feng Ji of the Seventh Fleet has started an internal rectification to review the execution of the missions in the past six months. Because of the disappearance of the Organ, as well as the internal corruption and abuse of power, Deputy Commander He Ju is likely to be transferred, and Commander Ji has also been confirmed to be involved with He Ju. Feng Ji should have been preparing for this before, and now that he has the evidence, he will start to act."

"Everyone in He Ju's faction will basically be purged. Although Ji Chang is an honorary knight, he is likely to receive an internal warning and punishment."

"The Seventh Fleet is currently undergoing a personnel reshuffle, and the pressure of winter maritime patrols and security is very high. It is not easy for them to maintain the existing order..."

The scandal of privately dispatching warships and sinking ships was downplayed.

Qian Gu wiped the bowl with another dry towel and put it down carefully: "Even if the Seventh Fleet still wants to retaliate against you, it should be after the winter is over."

Zhou Yi listened silently.

This is good news.

At least I can rest and recuperate during this long winter.
