My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 640: Deal, I seem to have seen you somewhere?
Chapter 643 Transaction, I seem to have seen you somewhere?
"Currency, the new lord of this original territory dares to issue currency!" Looking at the trading room with a lot of people in front of him, Su Mo suddenly had a new understanding of this sudden lord.
It cannot be said that it is bold and aggressive, but it is just right to describe it as extremely arrogant.
A new currency, even if it is not used to circulate with the outside world, but only facilitates transactions within the territory, will definitely encounter problems.
First, the official recycles resources and converts them into currency for the people below to trade. Invisibly, the preservation of these resources will consume a lot of manpower and space.
Once any accident occurs during the preservation process, it will lead to a significant shortage of resources, which cannot satisfy everyone's run.
Then what is left must be an extremely serious official credit collapse.
At the least, everyone in the territory is in danger and fighting on their own, or at the worst, they rise up, throw the lord off the horse, and redistribute the benefits and resources.
Second, the price of resources is not fixed at a scale line, and there is no regulatory power within the territory of origin.
There are many merchants, and the consumption of more than 30,000 people is not a small number.
Maybe you can buy a cabbage with 1 currency today, but if the price of cabbage rises tomorrow, you have to use 2 currencies to buy it.
Most people just exchanged cabbage for a currency today and used it.
When I went to exchange the next day, I found that I could only exchange half of the currency in my hand.
With such a terrifying asset shrinkage, it is difficult to maintain the stable operation of the currency for a long time. Once the price explodes, it will definitely cause turmoil.
Third, after collecting these materials, what is the lord of the original territory doing?
In the age of civilization, these resources can be used to trade with people and exchanged for more assets, thereby making the cake bigger, and the excess will become income within the territory.
But in the wasteland of the end of the world, the circulation speed is extremely slow, how can it be possible to take out things in your hands to increase their value.
Involve yourself into this currency system, once the assets of the territory are shorted.
Overnight, it is very likely that the economy of this origin territory will be separated and collapsed, owing to the outside world.
The above three points, even the Liberty City of the Demon Soul Clan, are difficult to solve, and can only be regulated by the unified price release every morning.
How can this origin territory be more advanced and powerful than the Demon Soul Clan?
"My lord, Master Yang, don't get me wrong!"
Looking at Su Mo standing there, he neither stepped forward to line up to exchange currency, nor expressed his concerns aloud.
Huang Bing scratched his head, but he came up with a reason in his head.
"If you want to trade in the origin territory, food and clothing, most places do not need to use this currency, only a few. Such as transactions in the territory, eating, official purchases and other channels, will need currency"
"No matter how the materials go up or down, the prices of these places in the territory will not fluctuate too much. As long as you exchange these currencies, you basically don't have to worry about depreciation."
"And if the currency in your hand is not spent before you leave, you can bring it back here and exchange it for supplies"
This rather methodical explanation, of course, was not thought up by Huang Bing himself.
One month ago, when the exchange was first opened, the vast majority of people in Origin Territory were similar to Sumo's current situation, and almost no one was willing to exchange their materials for unnecessary currency.
Even if there is a lord behind this thing, and there is a territorial credit connection, it can't change everyone's mind.
But living here, encountering this kind of reform, apart from leaving, how could it be possible to stay out of it.
It only took two or three days to change, with more and more explanations, and the salaries of all the citizens in the original territory began to be distributed into this currency.
All the people living here have to accept it if they don’t accept it.
Gradually, when most people found that this thing is really more useful than the supplies in their hands, it began to be slowly promoted.
"Oh, let's go in and have a look!"
Huang Bing didn't ask Huang Bing to explain lamely again. After some thinking, Su Mo was almost 100% sure that the new lord definitely had a "ghost" in his heart.
Issuing currency is harmful to the current territory and environment, but not beneficial.
As long as you are a person with a normal mind, you will never get out of such a stupid trick and leave so many loopholes in it.
But that's exactly what he did, and he did it so thoroughly.
There must be some unspeakable reason, or there must be some profit in it.
Two steps forward, standing behind the entire team.
Sumo was queuing up, thinking about the loopholes that could be exploited.
However, it was a bit dumbfounding. The people who were still in line in front suddenly turned around and found a strong bandit standing behind him with a gun on his waist.
The behavior turned out to be surprisingly uniform.
They first pretended to be acquaintances who came suddenly, and then naturally left the team and went to the side, letting Su Mo go to the front.
Then, as if nothing had happened, they lined up again naturally.
It took less than a minute, and the thirty or so people in front were exactly the same, sending Sumo all the way to the door of the stone house.
"Guests, please read the notice next to the exchange"
seems to be used to the operations of these people.
Showing that there was a gun on Su Mo's waist, the guard standing at the door quickly cheered up and pointed to the wooden sign hanging beside him.
On this, the rules in the exchange are depicted.
Probably means that you can enter with weapons, but you cannot use weapons to carry out any looting threats inside.
Once it is implemented, no matter what the reason is, it will be directly regarded as the enemy of the territory and surrounded and surrendered.
In addition to this, there are other things that can't be loud, can't be unreasonable, disturb order and so on.
For those who have lived in the last days for such a long time, these are just the most basic rules.
"I want to enter with my followers, is that okay?"
The gatekeeper looked back, and finally nodded: "Yes, but please hurry up, there are quite a lot of people queuing behind!"
In principle, only one person can enter each exchange, and it is obviously a violation of the rules to let Sumo and his party enter with four people.
But rules are inherently dead.
Orders are passed down layer by layer, and discounts are for sure.
In most cases, they are only used to restrict these ordinary people in the territory.
For these foreign crossing dragons, the upper echelons of the territory are unwilling to forcibly control and discipline, and naturally the guards at the lower levels of the territory are not concerned, and they are unwilling to offend the strong and cause disasters for these dead rules.
"Good!"
Nodding to acknowledge the guard's kindness, Su Mo squatted down slightly, pushed the door open and entered.
The door is not that big and heavy door, just push it gently to enter.
The furnishings inside are a structural arrangement that is very similar to modern banks.
A long counter divides the interior of the room into two places.
Four or five staff members are in the back, rushing to count the materials piled up on the ground and organize them.
The outer one is where Sumo stands. If you take two or three steps forward, you can handle currency exchange.
Following the sign on the ground, Su Mo slowly stepped forward, and sat down in front of the counter marked with the sign of exchange.
"My lord, this is today's redemption list, please check it first, and then confirm the redemption content with me!"
The guards outside are smart, and the exchange staff inside are not stupid.
Aware of the extraordinary strength of Su Mo and others, and seeing Huang Bing standing behind winking, the female employee in charge of exchanging supplies hastily handed over a slightly thicker picture book.
On its cover, there are seven Chinese characters neatly printed:
《Resource Exchange Price List》
And in the lower right corner, the time of the latest modification is marked.
Sumo took a look and found that it was April 25th in the last calendar. He was quite surprised.
“The items on this price list haven’t been touched in two weeks?”
"Oh? It seems so. The resource prices of large category items have basically remained unchanged since April 25th."
"However, the price of some small items has changed, and the number is not much. We have re-marked them with labels, and the first page also has the names of the materials that have been changed recently"
Hearing Su Mo's sudden words, the young female worker quickly raised her head and answered carefully.
It can be seen that although she also got a job in the territory, just like Huang Bing, her status is not high.
"First page?"
Flipping through the album, Su Mo's eyes fell on the update form mentioned by the female worker.
Different from imagination, there were not many new things in the mouth of the female worker, but in Su Mo's eyes, it took up a whole piece of paper, involving dozens of items.
Among them, most of the things are some chemical products that Suma has never heard of several times in modern times.
A small part is relatively rare parts, ore.
I don't know if it's because of the scarcity of things, but the exchange price has basically increased slightly compared to before.
"Hmm"
Browsing up and down, unable to find out what's wrong, Su Mo turned his head and pouted at the album.
The soldier standing behind naturally understood. He quickly stepped forward and stood behind Su Mo, took out a small instant camera from his pocket, focused it on the first page of the album and clicked a picture.
"My lord, this."
I have never seen anyone use a camera to save the price on the album, and the young female worker was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.
But as soon as the words came out, out of the corner of my eye, I saw several people behind me doing their work on their own, looking "deaf and dumb".
She quickly looked away again, lowered her head, as if nothing had happened, and let the soldiers behind Sumo click on the album, page by page.
After a while, all the photos were recorded and confirmed to be correct.
Sumo just lowered his head, and continued to start from the second page to check the prices of the exchanged items later.
Rice (incompletely processed raw materials can be exchanged for 80%), one catty can be exchanged for 5 origin coins.
Flour (80% can be exchanged for incompletely processed raw materials), one catty can be exchanged for 4 origin coins.
Edible oil, one catty can be exchanged for 8 origin coins.
Table salt (purchased according to the purity of 50%-120%), two hundred grams can be exchanged for 2 origin coins.
Fresh vegetables (including usable wild vegetables), one catty can be exchanged for 5 origin coins.
Condiment, one bottle can be exchanged for 2 origin coins.
Drink (500ml), one bottle can be exchanged for 2 origin coins.
Ordinary insulated clothing, one piece can be exchanged for 8 origin coins.
Ordinary cold-proof clothing, one piece can be exchanged for 10 origin coins.
Ordinary cold-proof cotton coat, one piece can be exchanged for 50 origin coins.
Iron, one kilogram is exchanged for 0.2 origin coins.
Copper, one kilogram is exchanged for 0.5 origin coins.
The redemption album has more than 20 pages, and the things on it basically cover all the resources that human beings can touch in normal life.
Although there are some prices for some things, compared to other things, there are obviously some abnormalities.
But in the wasteland, it can be said.
After all, food is always the most sought-after thing at any time, nothing else.
"My lord, please hurry up and exchange, people outside have been waiting for a long time, please understand our work!"
Knocked on the door, the guard who had been guarding the door came in with a soft reminder.
Everyone has only five minutes to exchange, and they will be kicked out after the timeout.
If you still want to continue without redemption, then go and queue until the redemption is complete.
But for Su Mo, it had been nearly ten minutes since he came in, and the team outside had grown to more than 50 people.
Seeing more and more people making a fuss, the guards had no choice but to come in to remind them.
"Okay, now!"
The price of the album has been saved in the Polaroid camera.
You can only go back and change to film paper, print it out, and then you can sit in the hotel and analyze it slowly, without waiting to waste time here.
"We changed it correctly, you also accept expired food here?"
The female worker was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "As long as it is edible, it can be exchanged regardless of whether it has expired or not, but the price will be different from ordinary food!"
"Okay, let's change all of these!"
Waved his hand at the counter, where Su Mo raised his hand, two cardboard boxes with the pattern of Panpan printed on the outside fell on the counter and made a buzzing sound.
"The bread here has expired for three months, but it should still be edible. You can exchange it for a price!"
Instant bread has a shelf life of 90 days.
When it was found in a small supermarket, this thing had already expired for a long time.
At that time, Su Mo was still thinking about how to get rid of this thing. Now that he encountered such a good opportunity, he naturally would not let it go.
On the other side, the female worker was obviously someone who had seen big winds and waves. She was not too surprised when she saw the two boxes of bread appearing.
She deftly scratched the seal on the carton with a knife and poured out all the bread.
First counted the quantity of all the bread, and then inspected it one by one to see if there was any mildew.
It took a full minute or two, and after counting one by one, she put down all the bread and whispered the price:
"There are two boxes in total, one hundred bags of instant bread expired for three months and nineteen days, one bag weighs 120g, and the purchase price for each is .
"80 origin coins!"
"Here, I can make the decision, upgrade two more coins, and pay a total of 82 origin coins, what do you think?"
Normal 100g bread, the purchase price is 1 origin coin.
But expired bread, even if it doesn't look bad, actually has a lot of discounts.
Because it was dealing with expired food, it was discounted close to 30%. Su Mo didn't feel unhappy, but nodded in surprise: "Okay, let's change it at this price!"
"OK!"
Seeing that Su Mo agreed, there were other staff behind the female worker, who stepped forward to collect all the bread, and at the same time handed the carton back to the soldier behind Su Mo.
Checking, depositing, and releasing money.
With the size of ten bottle caps and numbers printed on them, the female worker took them out of the safe and counted them, and pushed them to Sumo, the transaction officially ended.
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble"
Sitting here, it is not easy to take a closer look at the mystery of these coins, so Su Mo just scooped them up in his hand, threw them into his coat pocket, and stood up.
Regardless of the system of the exchange, the rules and procedures for these procedures in the original territory.
Su Mo was quite satisfied.
Especially for the attitude and ability of these staff, Su Mo was even a little jealous, wishing to pry the corner of the original territory on the spot, and recruit caravans and survivors after bringing them back to his own territory.
But unfortunately, before the investigation of the truth is completed, these can only be thought about in the mind.
"My lord~IndoMTL.com~You are welcome!" Standing up also, the young female worker also had a smile on her face, and watched the four of Sumo go out.
However, when Somo was about to walk to the gate, the female worker didn't know it was courage, so she boldly asked:
"My lord, have we met before? I always think you look familiar, but I just can't remember where I met you?"
It seems that they are building a relationship, and it seems that the two have really met.
Regardless of the disdainful eyes of everyone behind her, the eyes of the young female worker are full of sincerity.
"Oh? What's your name?" Su Mo turned his head, his expression as usual.
"My name is Huang Ya, and Huang Bing is my cousin." Pointing to the short guard beside Su Mo, Huang Ya stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed.
"Huang Ya"
"I don't seem to remember clearly?"
Pretending to be thinking, leaving an ambiguous answer, Su Mo smiled softly, said nothing, turned around and opened the door and walked out.
Everything is so natural, no abnormalities can be seen.
