Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

Seeing that everyone was so optimistic, Shan Mingliang took the initiative to lower the price to buy food.

I bought it yesterday at 35 times the market price, and today the price has dropped to 20 times.

He also found a few accomplices in the group to speak on his behalf.

Shan Mingliang's general meaning was that if you don't sell your food to me, you won't be able to sell it anywhere else in the future.

With the added embellishment of several accomplices, many people forgot Lin Luo's words.

Even after Shan Mingliang lowered the price to twenty times the original price, people continued to sell the supplies.

In just one hour, he spent nearly four million dollars.

He even implemented a "hunger marketing" strategy, limiting the price to twenty times the original price for one hour.

The next hour will be 15 times the original price, and the following hour will be 10 times the original price.

Shan Mingliang truly lives up to his reputation as a self-made private entrepreneur who built a billion-dollar fortune; he's adept at navigating the complexities of the business world.

Some people were selling frantically at twenty times the normal price, fearing the next hour would come.

Even after the price had increased to fifteen times the original price, he still managed to buy a considerable amount of supplies.

Another hour passed, and Shan Mingliang spent another four or five million.

In two hours, Shan Mingliang spent a total of ten million, which was more than double what he spent yesterday.

He spent three million yesterday because of Lin Luo.

Due to the exorbitant price of 35 times the original price, the supplies acquired for 3 million have not even reached a third of their original value today.

After the price increased to ten times the original price, far fewer people were selling supplies.

Shan Mingliang didn't care about it; the procurement of supplies was almost complete for today.

Many people delivered supplies to Shan Mingliang, paying him in cash on the spot.

Thirteen million worth of supplies may not be enough to buy a large supermarket as before, but it's enough to fill two or three rooms.

Fortunately, Shan Mingliang lives in a large single-level apartment with an area of ​​nearly 600 square meters.

There are only four people living in the house: the wife, daughter, and nanny each occupy a room, and most of the other rooms are empty.

The supplies piled up in two or three rooms were enough to feed Shan Mingliang and his family of four for two or three years.

Today's warm winter sun undoubtedly helped Shan Mingliang, enabling him to purchase enough supplies.

"It's okay if we don't sell any supplies today. I will continue to purchase supplies tomorrow, and it will be the same model. If you want to sell supplies, do it as soon as possible. I will not continue to purchase supplies the day after tomorrow."

Shan Mingliang posted an announcement in the group.

"Boss Shan, please make another WeChat account tomorrow. I tried to add you on WeChat today, but I couldn't. By the time I finally added you, the second one had already disappeared, and I've lost five times the profit."

"Yeah, I was even more unlucky. It was already the third hour when I added it, and I couldn't bear to sell it right away. I can only wait until tomorrow. I need to be quicker next time."

“You people are all short-sighted. Yesterday you wouldn’t sell at thirty-five times the original price, but today you’re selling like crazy at twenty times the original price. I don’t even know what to say to you.”

"Yesterday you mocked us, saying we value money more than our lives, and that if the Ice Age didn't end, we'd have the life to earn money but not the life to spend it. Why don't you say that now?"

"You're not so great and high-minded, you have the ability to stick to your principles, why are you selling off supplies again? I really look down on you opportunists."

...

Many people have fallen for the "hunger marketing" trick and regret not selling the goods at twenty times the original price.

After listening to what Shan Mingliang said, they decided that they must sell at twenty times the price tomorrow.

Those who sold supplies at 35 times the original price yesterday are now turning around and mocking these people.

Dan Mingliang got a little carried away and tagged Lin Luo again in the WeChat group.

"@Lin Luo, didn't you want to stop me from buying supplies? Look what happened. In the end, you still couldn't stop me. Now, the supplies you've stockpiled are much less than mine, aren't they?"

"This Dan Mingliang is really arrogant."

Lin Luo couldn't help but laugh.

The value of the goods he hoards in his strange space exceeds hundreds of billions.

Let alone the high prices Shan Mingliang has paid for any particular supplies, even his total assets pale in comparison to the goods in Lin Luo's strange space.

It would take at least one hundred Shan Mingliang's total assets to equal the assets of Lin Luo's Strange Space.

"That damn Lin Luo, if I hadn't listened to him, I could have sold the stuff I had forty times the price, but now it's only selling for twenty times."

“My neighbor only had five jin of pork ribs, but he sold them for a full 3500 yuan. I had ten jin of pork ribs, which was twice as much as his, but I only sold them for 3000 yuan. I was 500 yuan less.”

"Don't let me see Lin Luo, or I'll beat him up every time I see him. It's one thing for him not to sell, but he's dragging us down with him and preventing us from making any money."

"Just you wait and see. Lin Luo is being aloof and refusing to sell supplies now because he wants a higher price. But once he sees that the price isn't high enough, he'll sell everything."

"Lin Luo has stockpiled goods worth two to three million. Even if he sells them at ten times the price, he will still have twenty to thirty million left. Twenty to thirty million is enough to achieve financial freedom."

"The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Lin Luo may have earned less, but we have lost a lot. I could have earned 100,000 yuan, but now I only earn 50,000 yuan. I feel like my heart is bleeding."

"Seeing Lin Luo make money is more painful than losing money myself. If I saw Lin Luo make 20 or 30 million, I would commit suicide on the spot."

...

The moment Shan Mingliang mentioned Lin Luo's name, everyone's anger was directed at him.

If Lin Luo hadn't said that the Ice Age might last longer than seven days, they would have sold off their supplies yesterday.

"@All staff, I've discovered that you're all short-sighted fools. You've only had one sun today, and you're all already regretting it. If you're going to regret it, wait until seven days later."

Lin Luo bluntly asked again via voice message, "You all think the Ice Age lasted for seven days, so why is Shan Mingliang still buying up supplies?"

"No one really thinks Shan Mingliang is a great victim, right? He was able to build his fortune from scratch to a billionaire. I believe he is smarter than many of you here."

"While you're all frantically selling supplies, Shan Mingliang has been buying them up. He must have learned something you don't."

He sent three voice messages in a row, which immediately silenced the owners' group chat.

Many people regained their composure and began to wonder why Shan Mingliang was still purchasing supplies.

Generally speaking, wealthy people are much smarter than ordinary people.

Not to mention self-made millionaires like Shan Mingliang, whose intelligence far surpasses that of the average wealthy person.

"@Lin Luo, stop spreading rumors and misleading the public," Shan Mingliang said angrily.

"Haha, it seems I misunderstood Mr. Shan's good intentions. You are a great person who loves doing charity and likes to help the poor."

Lin Luo changed the subject sarcastically, "It seems that Boss Shan used to be very stingy with himself, unwilling to buy luxury cars and villas, and lived in the same community as us. How come he has suddenly changed his nature and become so generous?"
