Veracruz, an important port city in the Gulf of Mexico, is very close to Mexico City and is an important material transportation port of the current Mexican government. After deciding to woo the 'Alfonso Governor' as an ally, Dania immediately and resolutely began to act, first of all to improve her strength.
Uncle Ike exchanged 50,000 needles of atropine from Zhou Qingfeng, which is a much-needed medicine for ‘Enclave’. There are now more people in need of emergency treatment in world's end than in the past, but medicines basically use one needle less. This is becoming more and more precious in the smuggling channel ‘Governor Alfonso’.
However, no matter how anxiously the North American headquarters urged the shipment of the atropine, Dania seized the drug and took it to Veracruz, where she would sell the drug privately .
Danya feels that she has moved fast enough, but when she took a light * plane and landed at Veracruz ’s airport with a few large boxes, she found that the lifeless smuggler had opened a small steamer , Rushed to the port here with a large number of goods.
Small smugglers often do n’t get the most valuable supplies, but they know what ’s most scarce in the market right now. For example, Wasteland world ignition is a difficult problem, so Dania sees hired workers unloading a lot of matches from the port. These matches will be sent to cities near Mexico City by rickshaws.
The metropolitan area around Mexico City is home to 20 to 30 million people living in extreme poverty. It is now the most densely populated place in Mexico. The demand for matches is very large, and more can be sold. But Dania asked strangely: "What do Mexicans use to buy these matches?"
"We use coal to buy, you look at the smugglers, they drive a variety of goods in a small steamer, but all the coal is shipped. Cuba does not produce much coal, and 'Aurora Legion' is extremely short of fuel Use coal. "Explaining to Dania is Garcia, the director of the Port Authority, a ferocious corrupt bureaucracy.
Dania is sitting in Garcia ’s office, and you can see the busy port cranes working from the window. A large number of poor Mexicans are selling their labor and moving the cargo on the ship like ants.
"Miss Dania, you can also get enough coal from me. I will give you 500 tons of coal. You just leave all the atropine you brought." Garcia chuckled and smiled, he In charge of the port material transportation of Veracruz, the ability to eat and take cards is a self-contained skill.
Coal mines in northern Mexico are rich in resources, but it ’s a hassle to ship them out. Dania ca n’t go directly to the production site to get coal. She can only come to a port that specializes in diversion of supplies. In the warehouse of the terminal, there is indeed a pile of coal.
Tens of tens of thousands of tons of coal is a few hundred tons of total loss is necessary, but the Mexican port officials dare to set the drift loss to more than 50%, and then draw a large profit from it.
"Five hundred tons?" Dania sneered, "Mr. Garcia, do you think I am a small smuggler who bullies you? I brought not matches, not soap, not daily tools, I Bringing life-saving atropine. This thing is more precious than gold on the market.
I can bring morphine, penicillin, sulfonamides, heart disease drugs, dermatological drugs, and drugs to treat various common pains in the future. You want to use hundreds of tons of coal to exchange medicines in my hands. You are too greedy. "
Garcia hummed twice and increased the price: "Well, medicine is special, a thousand tons of coal. There is nothing more than this."
"It seems that I need to change someone to talk to me about drug sales." Dania did not hesitate, grabbed the wide-brimmed white feather hat beside her, lifted her long skirt and turned away.
Garcia was stunned for a while, then a fiercely clapping table, "Bang" with a loud curse: "Smelly ***** You better sit down for me, I let you enter my office, Not for you to tease me. "
Two Mexican gunners immediately stood at the door of the office, blocking the way Dania left with a straight face. But the woman did not turn around, just slightly scornfully said: "Garcia, don't forget your identity. You are just a dirty Mexican bureaucracy, just a pig can replace you."
"You ...!" Garcia was so angry that he was angry but stunned that he couldn't vent, because he really didn't dare to move the Enclave person. Because ‘Enclave’ is definitely savage in terms of short-term protection. He could only bear the anger and asked in a low voice: "Miss Dania, how much coal do you want?"
"I want a thousand tons ..." Dania first said a number that made Garcia happy, but she added another sentence, "... diesel."
One thousand tons of diesel? Why don't you grab it!
Garcia once again angered the table, "Miss Dania, do you know how nervous diesel is now? The atropine in your hand can never be changed to a thousand tons of diesel, even a hundred tons. . "
"Really? I'm willing to wait and see. There are many people with diesel, but few people with medicine." Dania put on her hat, did not give Garcia more opportunities to speak, light. Out of the office of the director of the port authority.
After finding the temporary hotel, Dania began to silently calculate the possibility of her success in this operation. Veracruz is Mexico ’s oil producer. Although the refineries here have also suffered damage, it has more capacity than the almost rebuilt Havana refinery. There should be no shortage of fuels. After all, oil supplies in other parts of Mexico are provided here.
As for the degree of corruption of Mexican officials, they absolutely dare to fight hard for the benefit. After all, diesel can be refined from oil, but atropine is really nowhere to be found. Dania decided to see more Veracruz real power figures, perhaps more.
And while staying at the hotel, Dania once again felt that various goods from Havana began to invade the surrounding Caribbean. The plates and even the forks used in the high-end hotel where she lives are marked with "Made in Aurora".
"You guys want to import even metal plates here?" Dania asked the waiter in surprise when eating.
The hotel waiter was very calm. "Before the social chaos, a lot of things were damaged, and ordinary living supplies have become scarce. Although the local can also produce plates and dishes, it is not as good as Havana."
Havana produced well?
Danya could n’t help but think of a rumor that she heard before. Before the nuclear bomb destroyed the world, 'Aurora Legion' used to deceive a large number of industrial manufacturing equipment from the Niuport Nixe Shipyard controlled by 'Enclave'. 'Aurora Legion' creates a lot of wealth.
"Should imported goods be more expensive? Will locals be more economical and use locally produced bargains?" Dania asked again.
“No, it ’s cheap to import.” The service staff denied, “And now the imported goods are sold together. For example, we ca n’t produce sanitary paper yet, but the demand for paper is rigid, and those smugglers are tough We are required to purchase other tissues as well as other items. Anyway, the price is cheaper, so we bought it. "
Forcible dumping ... The word came out of Dania's heart. She couldn't help but be shocked. Why did the Governor Alfonso suddenly become so powerful in the past? As long as this continues, the recovery speed of ‘Aurora Legion’ will be beyond imagination! (To be continued.)
