Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile

After Su Yun and Wang Jie agreed on the general direction, they began to divide the work in detail. In the afternoon, Wang Jie drove Su Yun's car to the company to find the finance department to estimate the assets, and at the same time, he made an appointment with Che Zhichun to discuss the acquisition-related matters. They hoped to sell the company as soon as possible. Hearing that Su Yun had experienced many cold stares and humiliations with Che Zhichun's scavenging team after the natural disaster, Wang Jie was filled with anger at the moment, and he wanted to tear Che Zhichun into pieces immediately. However, before selling the company, they must first deal with him, thoroughly uncover his details, and take out his property one by one.

Su Yun had a lot of things to do. He first went to three real estate agencies downstairs in the community and put up all the house information. He wanted to sell the house urgently for 3 million yuan without bargaining, which was 650 million yuan lower than the market price.

The commission paid to the agents has also been doubled, and the three agencies are promoting the houses as if they have been injected with chicken blood.

As soon as Su Yun came out of the agency, he went straight to the grocery store and closed the door. He put everything on the shelves and all the inventory into the store. In a blink of an eye, the 40-square-meter store and the small warehouse of more than ten square meters were empty, even the cash register and shelves were not spared.

The items sold in Su Yun's specialty food store are quite miscellaneous. Many of the items are first ordered by the owners in the community through the software and group and then collectively delivered by the warehouse. Common items include vegetables, rice, flour, fruit, biscuits, bread, candy, ingredients, various processed semi-finished products, pre-prepared dishes, various snacks, beverages and alcoholic beverages. Su Yun also stocks some specialties with a particularly high repurchase rate and keeps them in a small warehouse in the store.

It was the first time that the space swallowed up so many supplies. Su Yun was extremely happy, and the overwhelming desire for food began to sweep over her again. However, she had more important things to do first. She barely suppressed the excitement in her heart, picked up her phone and sent a notice to several shopping groups: This store has been transferred and will not accept orders from today onwards. Thank you for your support to our store in the past few years. I wish you all peace and happiness.

The owners in the community are very picky. The things that have had a particularly high repurchase rate in recent years are all good things that are inexpensive and of good quality. They buy whole boxes of yam noodles and spinach noodles, and the frozen dumplings and glutinous rice balls basically have a few fixed flavors. The bagged pickled pepper chicken feet and braised beef also sell well, and the selected fruits of the season are also very popular. Su Yun went to the software to place large inventory orders for the foods that he often bought and the items with a high repurchase rate. Anyway, the store's lease has not expired yet, and a delivery truck will deliver the goods every morning.

Su Yun was afraid that others would notice something, so he simply set up the counter and shelves again, and put some food that would not easily expire on them to deal with the deliverymen.

After doing all this, Su Yun let out a long sigh and locked the slightly empty shop. She drove Wang Jie's BMW to the second-hand car dealership. She wanted to sell the BMW first. The price of this car has increased recently due to the shortage of chips. Su Yun just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, so she sold it at a price 10 yuan lower than the market price. The car had only been driven 3 kilometers and was not an accident car. The owner of the car dealership did not say anything. After inspecting the car, he made a deal and said that he could buy the car directly. So Su Yun went through the formalities and 70 yuan was directly deposited into her bank account.

The most urgent thing is to find a larger warehouse to facilitate the storage and receipt of goods during this period. After a quick meal, I took a taxi to the logistics park to find an idle warehouse.

The person in charge of the logistics park told Su Yun that there was a 1000-square-meter steel shed warehouse on the first floor of the park available for rent, with a monthly rent plus a deposit of RMB. This warehouse is located at the innermost part of the park, close to the east gate, and there are usually few people, with only security guards patrolling occasionally.

There is a temporary office area in front of the warehouse door, which is built with a semi-open small container and used by warehouse managers to register the entry and exit of goods. The location of this office area is just right, which is convenient for the entry and exit of goods, while also ensuring concealment, so that vehicles entering the warehouse will not attract too much attention.

Su Yun looked at the scene in front of her with satisfaction, and she decided to rent the warehouse. She reached an agreement with the person in charge, paid the rent and deposit in advance, and went through the relevant procedures.

Although the warehouse is still empty, Su Yun is full of hope. She knows that this warehouse will become an important transit point for her to stock up supplies in the future, and it will also be the starting point for her to create a better life for herself and her family.

Now there is only one hybrid car in the family, which was driven to the company by Wang Jie in the morning. During this period, Su Yun also needs a means of transportation and a concealed box truck. Thinking that different types of cars will be needed when natural disasters come in the future, Su Yun took a taxi to the car rental company to rent some cars that can be used after natural disasters as soon as he finished dealing with the warehouse matters.

Shenzhen's largest car rental center. Su Yun came to Shenzhen's largest car rental center and looked at the various vehicles parked in the open space from afar. There were a wide variety of vehicles inside, with all kinds of brands and models available. He felt a little excited and expectant.

The boss was a middle-aged man in his 40s who looked quite generous. He and Su Yun introduced the types of vehicles on site: there were cars, vans, small vans, small flatbeds, medium-sized trucks, large trucks, tractors, hook machines, cranes, tricycles, tractors, heavy-duty off-road vehicles, etc. There were even a few RVs in the open space at the door, and Su Yun selected three low-key, durable, domestically produced 3-seater medium-sized Huolala vans that could climb hills and carry goods according to his needs. Don't be fooled by their plain appearance, as you can find a lot of them on the streets. However, in terms of performance and cost-effectiveness, they can be used to carry both people and goods, making them the first choice for running away, and related accessories are also very easy to find. Although they are 7-seaters, the back seats can be laid flat for sleeping people or carrying goods.

We then rented two identical ordinary RVs and two mountain off-road vehicles. After some discussion, we agreed to rent the three types of vehicles for a three-month period. The rent and deposit cost 3 RMB.

The car dealership owner didn't care what Su Yun did with the rental car. Every car in the dealership had at least 7-8 invisible tracking and positioning blocks. Trackers were installed under the seats, on the hood, on the driver's seat, in the trunk and even on the tires. Even if the car went to the ends of the earth, he could still find it.

Su Yun was not worried about the locator in the car. After two months, even if there were more locators, it would be futile. In the extreme cold, many large equipment went on strike due to the low temperature, and many places in the country had power outages and Internet access. Even if the car dealership survived the first year of extreme cold, it would not be able to come all the way to collect the debt.

Besides, the car has entered Su Yun's space, so it is impossible to track it.

The staff operated the computer skillfully and quickly gave a quote for rent and deposit. After paying the money, Su Yun only drove away one Huolala van, and the other vehicles were delivered to the newly rented warehouse with the boss paid for their hard work.

He drove out of the car rental center. The sound of the car engine hummed in his ears, and he felt full of strength and confidence. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but he had taken the first step and was welcoming a whole new world.

Su Yun went to a large car dealership nearby and rented three new multi-functional tricycles that could run on electricity, burn oil, or be pedaled. They were simply the perfect tool for transporting people in times of natural disasters.

2 5-seater pickup trucks, with people in the front and goods in the back, are also very practical.

3 medium-sized vans, with sealed spaces, are convenient for transporting goods and living.

2 light trucks, two small hook machines and two cranes. The hook machines and cranes are also very useful in natural disasters. They can be used to shovel snow in extreme cold weather and to turn the soil when conditions permit for farming.

Although it cost hundreds of thousands, it was all worth it. After all, these cars could not be returned after the natural disaster. It was equivalent to that these cars belonged to Su Yun. It was a good deal no matter how you looked at it.

It was getting late, and Su Yun had other things to do, so he called Qiqi and Tangtang's teacher to arrange for a temporary evening class. There was a student cafeteria in the school, and the life teacher would take the children to dinner and help them with their homework. Parents only had to pick up their children at 8:30. It must be said that the school's after-school service was really good, which greatly facilitated parents who often had to work overtime.

After arranging the children's affairs, Su Yun drove the newly rented Huolala van straight to the largest local wholesale market. They didn't have much time left, and the city lockdown caused by the new virus incident in a month made her feel like she was racing against time. They couldn't wait until the city was almost closed before returning to their rural hometown. Who could guarantee that there would be no accidents that would lead to an early city lockdown?

Arriving at the wholesale market, Su Yun saw a familiar scene. People were hastily selecting goods, vendors were shouting and promoting their products, and the atmosphere was tense and busy. It had been a long time since she had seen such a lively scene, and at this moment she sincerely prayed that it would be great if natural disasters would not come.

Su Yun walked slowly through the stalls, carefully selecting the items she needed to purchase. She silently calculated her budget in her mind, trying to get every penny she could.

I came to a large grain and oil store and took a look around the rice section. The wholesale prices of the commonly eaten Wuchang rice, Thai fragrant rice, glutinous rice, and silk rice are all around 2 to 2.5 yuan per catty. A standard bag weighs catties. There is also Komachi rice that is specially used for making sushi, as my two sons particularly like sushi.

Su Yun said that the company responded to the call of the motherland and implemented the Warm Winter Plan to provide free care to left-behind children and empty-nest elderly in remote areas, and that he was the purchasing director of a large caring company, responsible for purchasing supplies for the company.

The boss is a kind-hearted woman. Knowing that this is a charity, she decided to give the most favorable price possible. She used to watch Douyin frequently and saw many anchors delivering rice, flour, oil, clothes and the like to poor areas within seconds. At that time, she wondered where those people got so much money. It turned out that there was a big company supporting them behind the scenes. This kind of positive energy should be supported.

Su Yun ordered 500 tons of Wuchang rice, oily sticky rice, pearl rice and Thai fragrant rice, supplemented by 200 tons of rice, cat-tooth rice, millet, glutinous rice and Komachi rice. He stockpiled 700 tons of staple food, enough for the family to eat for a lifetime. He also bought 100 tons of flour, 5000 kilograms of flat noodles, 5000 kilograms of round noodles, 5000 boxes of pickled mustard tubers and 5000 boxes of edible salt.

The boss happily recorded what the God of Wealth needed and said that he had never seen such a large donation of supplies from a company. Others just donated some instant noodles and vegetables symbolically.

“Your company is real.”

Su Yun looked at the boss's admiring expression, secretly glad that his lie had successfully deceived her. In fact, it was just for his own selfish interests, not only to avoid the questioning, but also to get a bigger discount under the banner of public welfare. Maybe such behavior is not moral. But he told himself that this is just a part of life, and everyone does similar things to varying degrees.

The boss asked which company Su Yun worked for. Su Yun smiled and practiced Tai Chi: "Our company is going to hire an internet celebrity to do publicity this time. The supplies must be in place at once, you know." Ambiguous words are the easiest to arouse people's imagination.

Of course, the grain and oil bosses understand that in the past few years, many companies have donated money and materials to gain reputation due to the virus incident. Now everyone does good things and wants the whole world to know about it. I didn't expect that I would encounter it today.

In consideration of Su Yun's kindness in ordering so much rice and noodles, 200 boxes of egg noodles with seasoning were given as a bonus. There were 6 packages of egg noodles in one box, and each package contained 10 noodles and 10 small seasoning packets. Su Yun had eaten this kind of egg noodles when he was a child. The noodles were like instant noodles, and the seasoning was relatively simple. There were no dried vegetables or oil packets, just simple salt, MSG, pepper and the like. The shelf life was quite long. These staple foods alone cost more than 400 million yuan in total. Su Yun did not have so much cash, and the grain and oil store could not take out such a large quantity of goods at once. He paid half of the deposit, gave the warehouse address to the boss, and agreed to complete the delivery within 3 days before paying the balance.

It was already 8 o'clock when they finished the conversation, and Su Yun hurried to the school to pick up the two children.

After arranging for the children to take a bath, Su Yun took a hot bath, changed into soft and comfortable cotton pajamas, and sat at the small bar on the balcony to shop online.

The teapot next to it was brewing rose tea, and there were some bagged snacks that had been put into the space in the store this morning.

Su Yun's space is big enough. He collected the inventory in the store today but didn't have time to sort it out. All the things are piled in a corner. He will sort them out slowly when he is not busy.

While chewing the flavored beef jerky, he took a deep sip of the scented tea, feeling the warmth spreading in his chest. On the notebook in front of him was the material list document, with a table densely recording several major categories and the specific purchase quantity of each material.

Su Yun remembered the first year of extreme cold very clearly. The temperature suddenly dropped in the early morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year. The south is damp and cold in winter, and there is no heating at all. Even if you wear Michelin clothes and stay in bed every day, you can't withstand the low temperature of minus 50 degrees Celsius. You can only rely on limited fuel to bring some heat to survive, so the first thing is to buy cold-proof and heating supplies.

I quickly browsed the extreme cold thermal underwear sets and long down jackets on Taobao and JD.com, and after some comparison, I selected several thermal sets and down jackets suitable for wearing in weather of minus sixty degrees Celsius. The merchant promised that the underwear sets are more than 90% pure wool, and the duck down content in the down jackets is more than 2 kilograms. Currently, most people in extremely cold areas like to buy this brand of thermal clothes and down jackets.

The clothes sold by this brand are very expensive but the quality is really good. The quality details and comfort of the clothes are all top-notch. There are 11 people in my family, including my father, mother, younger brother, sister-in-law, nephew, aunt Su, younger cousin and my own family of four. We ordered 50 sets of men's and women's clothing in several important sizes from five years old to adulthood, for a total of 410 sets. After discounts and various coupons, one set cost 600 yuan, which is a fixed expense, 1 pairs of cotton trousers weighing more than 200 kilogram.

I bought two thousand pairs of thick, fleece-lined, warm long socks of various sizes.

Thickened, fleece-containing, warm, and non-slip mid-tube snow boots, black, unisex style, from children's small size to adult size 44, a total of 300 pairs were bought from small to large.

I can ensure that every family member can get about 30 pairs of shoes, each pair costs 230 yuan, and I buy some extra pairs of shoes in the sizes that are often worn as backup.

There are 50 windproof and warm hats of various sizes and 50 scarves for skiing in Northeast China, all in the same black and gray color that is resistant to dirt.

100 rechargeable portable constant-temperature hand warmers, 100 pairs of warm gloves of various sizes, 100 water storage hot water bottles, so that even if there is no electricity, you can fill them with hot water in the winter and not be afraid of being woken up by the cold at night, 1.2 electric blankets of 1.5 meters, 2 meters, and 10 meters each, because my parents are old and they will definitely not be able to sleep without electric blankets.

Su Yun would directly place an order for anything he thought was useful, filling in the address of the newly rented warehouse. He also selected the appropriate delivery time when placing orders for all supplies. Large quantities of supplies must be delivered at different times from those of scattered supplies, otherwise the delivery personnel would bump into each other when receiving the goods, and would be easily overwhelmed.

While shopping, he made notes on the list. Two hours passed before he knew it. He rubbed his sore neck and drank a cup of warm rose tea. During dinner, Wang Jie sent a message saying that he had a social event outside tonight. Su Yun was addicted to shopping and didn't want to go to bed, so he continued to buy according to the list.

We contacted the local coal manufacturer and purchased 100 tons of coal briquettes and 200 tons of smokeless, long-burning, environmentally friendly charcoal in wholesale. These will be indispensable products in winter whether for heating or barbecue.

There are also ten large multifunctional charcoal stoves and ten small convenient charcoal stoves, which can be used to burn charcoal, coal or firewood. They can be used for heating, barbecue, boiling water and cooking. The store has four-sided tables that match the charcoal stoves. Su Yun imagined the scene of a family grilling together, and couldn't help but order several sets of aluminum tables.

The warming patch is often used in winter. It lasts for 8 hours. One hundred thousand pieces have been sold. It can keep the whole body warm when you stick it inside clothes in extremely cold weather.

Common bird cage heaters are only 30 yuan each, so I stocked up on 20 of them and 20 small sun heaters. Based on the probability of damage, the whole family can use them for decades without any problems.
