This freight company is not engaged in transportation! No, it should be said that it is not all about transportation. Besides transportation, they also have a major task, which is to thoroughly clean up the towns and villages in the alliance-controlled areas, as well as places where there are people, factories and mines.
The purpose is to bring back and disassemble all usable materials as intact as possible, part of which will be handed over to the alliance, and part of it will enter the market in the safe zone for the needs of the refugees.
In fact, the alliance does not allow everyone to enter the red zone across the board, let alone let so many usable materials go to waste. However, the top management of the alliance did not want the refugees to go to those areas without established rules to kill each other in order to find supplies like gold diggers, so they adopted a compromise method.
?The government issues licenses, provides necessary training, equipment, and equipment, and allows refugees to form semi-civilian and semi-official teams to enter the red zone for planned and orderly search and collection work. The name of this organization is called a freight company.
At present, there is only one license in the south of the city safety zone, which is the company called Jingshun that the neighbor of the thin monkey works for. . No matter at any time, as long as it is a monopoly industry, there is no bad treatment. He worked as a team leader in the company and received 40 yuan a month as a salary.
As for work, it is not very tiring or dangerous. There are usually trucks to travel to and from, and the alliance soldiers are responsible for commanding and supervising. The only downside is that you have to travel frequently, and it's not uncommon to go for half a month or a month.
If you catch up with special tasks, such as following the alliance army to clean up the zombie-controlled area, you will be given a subsidy in addition to the normal salary. Anyway, he works alone, and it is no problem to support a family of three, and he doesn't have to live tight.
No matter how good other people's work is, what does it have to do with Skinny Monkey? This is the role of profiteers. He immediately smelled the smell of small money, and after trying twice, he found a good way to do business.
Through the relationship of this neighbor, he met a squadron leader in the freight company, and after eating and drinking twice, he solved the purchase channel. Some of the goods retrieved by the shipping company will be provided to the refugees, that is, they will be sold in the market.
It was troublesome for the freight company to send people to set up stalls in the market, so they simply found a few regular big merchants to wholesale the goods to them at wholesale prices, and then they sold them to retailers at a higher price.
Now the squadron leader of the freight company has promised to use his rights to reveal some scattered goods and sell them at wholesale prices. In this way, the thin monkey does not need to go to the market to let the wholesalers pick up the skin again. With the price advantage, even if there is no price war, the profit is higher than that of most retailers.
"In the future, our diplomatic work will depend on you. Anyone who thinks it can be used and who is helpful to us can make friends with us. Don't be afraid to spend money. This is fishing and making a nest, throwing a hundred catties of old corn beans, can you If you catch thirty catties of fish, you earn money!"
When Skinny Monkey sneaked back to the shantytown in the middle of the night to ask for instructions on whether he should go to the market to rent a stall, Hong Tao patted him on the shoulder to encourage him. This is a 100% good thing!
I can't show my face around to build a network of contacts, and it would be useless to count on Tiger and the others for a short time. If the thin monkey can make up for this shortcoming, it will solve the big problem.
In addition, Hong Tao has another plan. He plans to use Shouhou's booth to resell the goods collected from the red zone. This will not only not attract the attention of others, but also make more income.
If you want to ask, since there is a freight company, why can you find so many useful daily necessities in the red zone. Thin Monkey also found out about this matter from his neighbors, and he said it in one word, lazy!
The starting point of the freight company is to make money, not to be a good person. Therefore, when working, the first consideration is not how to cover everything, but how to reduce costs and increase income.
If the employees of the freight company search carefully from house to house like Hong Tao and the others, it will not only waste labor but also delay time, and the harvested materials may not necessarily be of higher value.
?The method they adopted was relatively rough and crazily. When making a plan, they first selected the ruins of towns that had not been collected as the focus, and scanned them as quickly as possible after entering.
The priority order for picking goods is that the first alliance will take whatever it needs. After all, the license is issued by the alliance. Without the alliance, there is nothing. All the needs of the alliance must be met unconditionally.
The second is to consider what is easy to sell in the market. And try to find one that is small in size and light in weight. Suppose a sofa, a bicycle, a cigarette, a pack of instant noodles, and a battery all sell for 5 yuan in the market.
Then they will choose the goods in the order of batteries, instant noodles, cigarettes, bicycles, and sofas, unless there is still space in the car, and they cannot find the goods with the highest priority, or in the near future.If the price of one kind of goods is high, the goods with lower priority will be selected.
In fact, the red zone around the safe zone has already been swept by them at least once, and the good things that are easier to find have been taken away a few years ago. This is why when Hong Tao and the others went to the red zone for the first time, they found that many street shops had been tampered with.
However, freight companies generally do not choose the red zone between the second and fifth ring roads in the south and southeast of the city. There is only one reason: there are too many corpses.
So many corpses have been piled up for several years, no one can tell if there is any strange disease. To the west, north, and east of the city, there are still large areas that can be explored. If it is not possible to go to towns farther away, there is no need to touch this mold.
So the question comes again, why doesn't the alliance issue more licenses and organize more freight companies to search for more goods? Thin Monkey's neighbors didn't know about this either, but Hong Tao could figure it out.
It's not that the alliance doesn't want to, but it can't. Organizing more manpower and teams is bound to start competition. After leaving the safe zone, it is urgent to grab the site, and the result is still dead.
Even if you can bear not to do anything outside, you will still have to fight openly and secretly when you come back, and you will end up dead. It is not worth the loss for the alliance to exchange precious labor force for goods.
One reason is the economic account. The alliance has already issued currency, so it is necessary to stabilize the currency value as much as possible. What is the stability of currency value? Goods! If a large amount of goods poured directly into the market, prices would plummet immediately, and the economy would be over. That's right, it's not good to raise prices too much, and it's also not good to raise prices too low.
At present, there is a freight company in the south of the city, the north of the city, and the east of the city, which can basically meet the needs of the alliance, and the high-level executives are not willing to spend more effort.
Their concern is that if the limited labor force is used to restore the production level of agriculture and industry as soon as possible, things that are too specific and too detailed will not be considered at all.
As for whether the refugees are more comfortable sleeping on Simmons or on a hard bed, and whether there is suitable furniture available, as a senior executive of the alliance, they will never think about it. At the current stage, it is already perfect for these hundreds of thousands of people to be able to eat enough and not to be frozen. There is no need to invest too much manpower, material resources and energy in small things.
"It's best for you and the water snake to each rent a booth. The freight company shouldn't import too much goods, and we'll do the rest ourselves!"
Since the alliance can't take care of these trivial matters, Hong Tao is ready to worry about the government. As the ancients said, the humble dare not forget the country's worries! The ancients said again, don't do something small. It's too good to say, no one is allowed to stop this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people, let's do it!
"Then where's my car repair shop?" Hearing that both Shouhou and Water Snake were up and running, Fat Sheep became envious.
"Let's go together. I think the location across the street from Xiaolou is good. In the evening, go to the red zone with us to find out what kind of wood is suitable for tires. By the way, bring back a few more cars. Let's dismantle it tomorrow afternoon. open!"
Hong Tao did not forget about the car repair booth, but this business was not for making money. Put it near the small building as a hidden pile. You can watch the six directions and listen to the news from all directions at ordinary times. When something happens, you can increase the variables by surprise.
"Wooooowthump, thump" Fat Sheep was about to grin when he suddenly jumped up from the bench, and at the same time squatted halfway by the door with a knife in his hand. At this time, there was a slight noise outside, as if someone was covering their mouth and struggling desperately.
