Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Wasteland cities are often very deserted, and even a bit of lively movements are often the sound of guns. Martial law, solemnity, and indifference are the monotonous perceptions of the survivors of this world. In the case of Mérida, which is far away from North America and even away from the center of Mexico, the word **** is even added.
But today, this perception is broken.
Mérida is a satellite city set up by ‘Enclave’ to alleviate pressure on resources. To put it bluntly, the resources in a place are not enough, and everyone can only eat scattered. But the Yucatan region where Mérida is located was originally desolate and undeveloped, except for a bit of Mayan monuments, there was nothing.
Mérida has gathered 500,000 slave laborers. These people do not have any personal freedom, and it is good to have enough food, not to mention the spending power. However, there are also 30,000 or 50,000 colonies of ‘Enclave’ in the city. These people are still a bit spending power, and their desire to buy is extremely strong.
Some of the tens of thousands of tons of materials shipped from Havana will be sold in Mérida by ‘Alfonso Governor’. After all, this place is nominally the territory of the Mexican government. Zhou Qingfeng also needs the support and support of local people.
Zhou Qingfeng does not use any special marketing methods. His method is very simple. He can find trucks to transport things from the port to various traffic intersections in the city, and hire some people to set up stalls for sale.
To tell the truth, when a box of goods is put out, people who are in a hurry on the road do n’t even dare to look up. Everyone must either go to work or go home quickly, and never stay on the dangerous streets.
Zhou Qingfeng originally thought that as soon as the goods went on the market, it would set off a sales frenzy, but the reality is ‘indifferent in front of the door’. He personally ran to a sales point, just to see that the two Mexicans in charge were standing beside the car in a daze!
Crazy ...
You guys will die if you cry!
Shout, but no one listens.
Okay, not all Americans understand Spanish.
Zhou Qingfeng had to order people to find wooden boards to write the words of merchandise sales, and to match the merchandise name and price. Finally, I had to find an interpreter. After all, the employees he found were Mexicans who did not understand English.
As a result, some people were curious when they looked at the roadside sales vehicles. When they ran over to see the goods, their eyes lit up. "This is salted whale meat? One dollar and two pounds? It looks good."
Food is always the most scarce material of Wasteland, especially all the agricultural products caused by the low temperature in nuclear winter, and the large number of domestic animals die. People will not miss any opportunity to hoard food.
The marinated whale meat retains most of the fat of the whale. The taste of this meat is not too good, and it is too greasy. No one ate this thing before the catastrophe, because the fat was too high and unhealthy. And is there anything more attractive than a piece of fat? That must be two pieces of fat.
"How much fat do you have? I want it all." The first customer was excited. There were several people in his family and children. He had to worry about food every day. But even the colonists of ‘Enclave’ can only get food by rationing.
Malnutrition is the enemy of everyone!
"I want it all, really! I want it all." The first customer waved his hands excitedly. He drew out several yellow gold coins from his pocket and asked to buy all the whale meat.
‘Enclave’ once tried to restore the supply of US dollar banknotes. As a result, the Brotherhood of Iron and Steel used it as a false and genuine counterfeit pit. Now everyone is using precious metal currency for trading. And the currency value is the same as the first ‘Aurora Legion’ to resume using metal currency.
The translator who worked as a salesperson took the gold coins from the other party and told the Mexican employee: "Cut twelve pounds of marinated whale meat for this gentleman."
The tarpaulin on the wooden basket was lifted, and inside it was large pieces of meat. The first customer saw these pieces of meat in a daze. He thought he was just lucky to meet a black marketer who sold a small amount of supplies, but now it seems that this is a publicly sold stall.
"Do you actually have so many goods?" The customer was full of surprises and it was incredible. Shops are now extinct, all goods have been wiped out, and citizens often have little money and no place to spend. Because all materials are controlled and distributed by the bureaucracy.
A large piece of greasy whale meat is held in his hand, and the first visitor is even a little scared, "I would definitely be robbed if I was seen like this. God knows if anyone will shoot me for this. ? The killing of food is not new. "
"We can send you back." For the first customer's sake, the interpreter used the intercom to call the two guards of the Governor's Mansion and sent the other person back home.
The happy scene of holding a piece of meat and returning home with a smile on your face became the biggest advertisement at the point of sale. As long as the people who saw it all rushed to ask where the piece of meat came from?
"Buy it?"
"One dollar and two pounds?"
"Where is it?"
No publicity is required at this time, as long as the person who hears the news almost rushes towards the truck at the point of sale. In just a few minutes, hundreds of people surrounded the truck.
“Queueing, no crowding.” The salesperson had to shout out loudly. Fortunately, Zhou Qingfeng sent his Governor ’s House Guard to maintain order, so as to avoid the chaos and the goods being robbed.
In this winter, a long line appears on the street, hundreds of people are dozens of meters long, and there are still people joining. Everyone does all they can to spend the money, no matter how much the price of the goods, desperately buying hoard.
"Meat, I want meat, give me the biggest piece."
"The best fat, I want fat."
"The meat is sold out? What else do you have? Matches and soap? Well, both of them will do, I need both."
The food on the truck was sold out the first time, and the salesperson had to say aloud that the sky would continue to be served, but people did n’t believe it at all. Some people even cried because they didn't buy meat, and more people tried their best to sweep other goods.
In less than an hour, in fact, only half an hour, a truck full of goods was emptied, and a basket full of gold and silver coins was exchanged. But the customer who wants to buy still refuses to leave, and keeps asking when is the next sale?
"Today is gone, please come again tomorrow. We will come again tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning." The salesperson is almost unable to leave, and has to repeatedly publicize his identity and the status of his cargo reserves, "We are Alfonso The sales team established by the Governor, the goods are still sufficient, you can rest assured, rest assured! "
In fact, no one was at all relieved. Zhou Qingfeng organized 20 sales trucks and got 20 sales points. As a result, in the early morning of the next day, thousands of people were gathered at each sales point, and everyone Staring at the eyes, the sales truck arrived in the cold wind. (To be continued.)
