Chapter 444 Purchasing

phone-reading

As a black market trader, Koma, who had lost his blood, came to Havana again on his small steamer. (w W W . V o Dtw . c o M) He transported coal from Mexico to the territory of the "Aurora Legion" in exchange for various commodities.

Now that Diego's power has been fully defeated, the entire Caribbean region is already dominated by the "Aurora Legion". The small steamer manufactured by Nassau's ship repair yard has become the main means of transportation on the sea, and all people in the Caribbean must rely on it if they want to survive.

In addition to the 'Aurora Legion', the 'Enclave' in the north is actually stronger, and it is also a place where you can do business. Koma once went to a port controlled by the 'Enclave', but was surprised to find that the powerful 'Enclave' was far inferior to the 'Aurora Legion' in terms of commerce. Regardless of the type or quantity of transactions, the 'Aurora Legion' far exceeds any other organizations around.

This time, Koma transported 300 tons of high-quality coal, which was urgently needed by the 'Aurora Legion'. He hired a dozen dock workers to unload the coal, and decided to see what new goods were in the port market.

When he got to the port, Koma found that he had only been away for about a month, and the changes in Havana were almost unrecognizable to him.

The ruins of the city's buildings have been cleaned up, and many simple houses have been built on the ruins of the original houses, and many refugees live in them. Although the living conditions are still bad, they are much stronger than the wind and rain in the past in Diego.

People in the city are wearing all kinds of shabby clothes in strange styles, which is a great spectacle under the rule of the "Aurora Legion". But Kema knows that the coldness of nuclear winter is not a joke. I don’t know how many people envy the people here who can buy cheap thick clothes.

Crossing a few streets, a large semi-open-air market is in front of you. The market was bustling with people, it was the first time for Koma to come to this place, and he looked very curious.

This market was officially set up by the legion. There were special personnel in charge of sales, and there were even armed personnel to maintain order. The biggest transaction that Kema saw in the market is still a large bag of old clothes. The old clothes of the 'Aurora Legion' are already special commodities. No one knows where they got them, but these The seemingly inconspicuous commodity has always been a bestseller.

Old clothes are sold in packages, and a package is about a ton, and what is in it can only be a matter of chance. But people nowadays are not qualified to pick and choose, basically what to wear?

Koma bought 30 bags. Although these clothes are not very profitable, they are relatively easy to sell. In addition to old clothes, he also saw a lot of new goods on the market, "What is this?"

"toilet paper."

Can this also be called paper?

It was the first time for Korma to see such rough paper. The paper was not thick, and even a little translucent. However, the raw materials were obviously not cleaned up when making paper, and all kinds of plant fibers were left on the paper. This kind of paper made from rice straw and reed weeds is of extremely poor quality, but now it is the only paper that can be sold on the market.

After the end of the world came, the industrial system completely collapsed. Zhou Qingfeng once worried about the paper problem. Even if you don't use paper to write, at least you should use paper to wipe your ass. When he first arrived in New York, he was in a hurry to get money and prepare supplies, but now that batch of supplies has been used up after several months of consumption.

Now that hundreds of thousands of people gather in Havana, one is difficult to solve the problem of food, and the other is troublesome. If one of these details of life is not handled properly, the whole of Havana is a huge cesspit.

Limited by technical personnel and raw materials, Lena Fox tried every means but failed to restore the Cuban paper mill. So Zhou Qingfeng had to get paper from the real world, and he got the cheapest toilet paper.

"This is really a hell!" Kema touched a piece of thin straw paper, complaining in his heart that the quality of this paper is low. He muttered softly, "I've never used this kind of paper before."

The paper seller also hummed, and said disdainfully: "What time is it now? It's nice to have this kind of paper.

It can also be used for writing and going to the bathroom. A bundle of silver coins. "

"A bundle of silver coins?" Kema cursed secretly: Why don't you grab it? I have worked so hard to bring in coal, but I can't replace much of this old paper.

But if Kema doesn't buy it, he can't stand it. It is said that China's four major inventions changed the world, and paper should be the most important one. Now that social life has regressed greatly, this paper looks crude but can be of great use. At least it will stop him from worrying about some kind of problem every time he goes to the bathroom.

"Give me a hundred bar." Koma took out ten gold coins.

The first thing Lena Fox did after taking control of Cuba was to find ways to re-mint coins. The emergence of three metal currencies, gold, silver and copper, greatly met the needs of commercial flow.

However, the person who bought the paper only took one gold coin and said, "I can only sell you ten bundles."

"Why?" Korma was puzzled.

"Purchasing is limited. This thing is specially for merchants who come to trade, but you can only buy ten bundles each time you come."

Koma almost died of anger when he heard the word "purchase restriction". It is really helpless that the supply of goods in short supply cannot be opened. But ten sticks will be ten sticks, it's better than nothing. He continued to stroll forward, and found a familiar product reappearing in front of him-a watch.

It has been more than half a year since the end of the world, and a large amount of materials are either damaged or cannot be reorganized for production, including many necessities of life, which brings great inconvenience to the surviving humans. In the past, Kema used his mobile phone to check the time. Now the mobile phone itself may still work, but firstly, it is impossible to make calls, and secondly, it is difficult to charge it. He no longer knew how many times he had a headache because he couldn't time it accurately.

Before the end of the world, ordinary people seldom wear watches, even if they rummage in the ruins of cities, it is difficult to find such scarce goods. The mechanical watches sold in the Havana market are also very old, but they can still be used. The price is not cheap, ten gold coins for a watch.

Although expensive, Koma still sold it for five yuan. He believed that there was still a market for watches. Because for some people in power, it is too important to grasp the precise time.

Old clothes, paper, watches, these things are not enough to satisfy Kema, a businessman who travels by sea. He also hopes to purchase more things, because there is a shortage of supplies in the entire apocalypse, and he is afraid that there will be no supply. And then Koma really found the goods that could bring him a lot of profits, large barrels of kerosene.

"'Aurora Legion' is willing to openly sell kerosene?" Kema was very surprised by this. He knew that after the "Aurora Legion" took control of Havana, they would definitely produce fuel such as gasoline and diesel, but these things might not be enough for the legion's internal consumption, so it would be difficult to sell them to the outside world.

Kerosene is considered an accessory when refining crude oil. It has a single purpose and is not suitable as a power fuel. 'Enclave' also has an oil refinery, but they are not even willing to sell this subsidiary refining product, but 'Aurora Legion' can supply it to the outside world.

"It seems that the strength of the 'Aurora Legion' is developing very fast!" Kema secretly sighed. Even if the price of a barrel of kerosene is extremely expensive, he has exhausted all his funds to buy it. When the kerosene is shipped to Mexico, the local warlords will definitely want it, and even the Enclave will buy it in large quantities.

When Koma came out of the market, there was already a long line of delivery personnel behind him. Looking at the source of goods he purchased, he felt extremely comfortable. As long as social production continues to develop in this way, it will not be difficult for human civilization to recover.

And when Koma looked at the chaotic and simple market again, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, "A place that can provide a large amount of goods and materials is always full of vitality, and the vitality of the 'Aurora Legion' will definitely radiate to the entire Caribbean region. To I'm afraid no one will be able to stop their power from expanding." (To be continued.)
