Chapter 37 37· "Eastern Kingdom and the Flying Eagle! Wrong or right?"
October 19, 2024, Eastern Time, 11:34 noon - there are still twenty-six minutes before the Eastern Kingdom announces to the world the coming of the end of the world.
At this time, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening.
Flying Eagle, Doral Island, residential area.
Twenty-three-year-old Swaro Boggs is scrolling through Twitter at home, waiting for the time for Dongguo’s live broadcast to arrive.
It's not that he cares about Dongguo, he just wants to watch Dongguo have fun.
When the time comes, what could be more interesting than joining netizens all over the world in mocking Dong in distress?
He is purely anti-Eastern.
Another finger pulled down on the screen to refresh, and another post appeared in front of the screen.
After Boggs saw that the content was related to Dongguo, he clicked in curiously.
In the picture, two young men and women were confronting the store manager of a canteen. Soon after, official cars and police cars arrived one after another, and finally took the store manager away.
Judging from the shooting perspective, it was taken from the window upstairs opposite the store. Because the distance is very close, probably only the second floor, the voices of the people talking can actually be heard clearly.
Although Boggs does not understand the Dongguan language, since the video was uploaded to Twitter, it has naturally been added with subtitles and explanations in other languages.
Based on the subtitles and explanations, Boggs understands the cause and effect.
"The situation in the Eastern Kingdom is in crisis, and civilians who do small businesses have to increase the prices of the goods they sell just to survive."
"But this kind of thing is not allowed in Dongguo. Those three rogue customers demanded to buy at the original price at this time, so someone came immediately and not only issued a fine to the poor store manager who had not sold anything, but also Arrest him directly."
"Before, it was said that Dongguo had forcibly taken away supplies from many supermarkets and warehouses, but now, they are not even sparing ordinary people who are struggling to survive."
"Dongguk's purpose has almost been revealed——"
"For the sake of money, they deliberately create a crisis to give the people a sense of oppression, then purchase supplies in advance, and then sell the supplies at a high price when the crisis officially breaks out."
"I can't believe that Dongguo is such a country. It's a pity that it is so."
"As expected of Dongguo, he just likes to do such disgusting things." Boggs shook his head and said in disgust, while typing and leaving this comment on the post.
The situation recorded in this video is very consistent with Boggs's impression of Dongguo - after all, this is what Feiying has always told them.
This post was quite popular, and someone quickly responded to it.
"The video is completely distorting the facts. What the people in the video said is not what the subtitles say. It is clear that the store manager took advantage of Dongguo's problems and deliberately raised the price so high that ordinary people could not afford it. Degree.
An absolute profiteer and a violation of the laws of the Eastern Kingdom.
So the two young men called the Price Bureau, which came immediately and punished such people, perfectly solving the problem. This kind of profiteer should have been caught! "
After Boggs read half a sentence, he immediately looked at IP.
Sure enough, it's from Dongguo.
Haha, it seems he is impatient.
Boggs immediately started snapping back at the guy.
"Why, you were poked where it hurts, and now you jump out to clean up your own country?"
"Secondly, even if what you said is right, I don't know if you, an Easterner, understand economics. The price of goods is determined by supply and demand, and the market will naturally adjust to a reasonable price.
Like us at Feiying, the price is set by ourselves, with complete freedom and in line with the laws of the market!
And your social form, you actually want to intervene forcefully? behind!
It’s really funny. This is violating economic laws and violating the laws of the world! "
"Survival of the fittest is an absolute law. When there is a shortage of things, this law determines that people with more value, talent, and ability can buy enough materials, and people like you who support your Eastern methods are just without value, talent, , It’s just waste of ability.
You losers like you deserve not to be able to buy anything.
You bought it, what about those strong people who really live meaningful lives?
Let the strong man die on your behalf? "
"Originally, you, Dongguo, are about to die, but if you have to protect the weak like you, I'm afraid you will die even faster!"
"..."
Boggs responded with a lot of taunts and was very aggressive.
The Dongguo IP account didn't reply to me anymore, I'm afraid I felt guilty.
It's also possible that there are too many people attacking him. After all, there are a lot of people on Twitter who are just waiting to see Dongguo, a big country, collapse.
Boggs was as happy as if he had won a battle.
"But, I also have to buy something." Boggs suddenly thought.
Dongguo is quite rich in products. Some of Feiying’s foods are imported from Dongguo, such as the canned yellow peaches that Boggs likes to eat.
Now that the Eastern Kingdom is experiencing civil strife, it is estimated that the import volume of Feiying will be greatly reduced in the near future, and the prices of these things will be affected.
As someone who knows so much about economics, Boggs thinks it is necessary for him to buy more and store it now. Maybe he can resell it and make a fortune.
"How smart."
Boggs was proud of his intelligence.
He likes the law of survival of the fittest very much. Only in this way can those low-level fools disappear from this world. They are not worthy of living with him.
Above oneself, all living beings are equal; below oneself, all are ants.
After checking the time, there was still some time before Dongguo's live broadcast, and Boggs immediately drove out.
Boggs drove to the nearest small supermarket - but it was also two kilometers away.
Feiying is not as full of canteens as Dongguo. Most areas of Feiying are vast and sparsely populated, especially in agricultural states, so those kinds of canteens cannot survive even if they are opened - there is not enough customer flow.
Therefore, most families in Feiying like to go to a large supermarket together for a week or a month to buy a large amount of supplies at once.
The large supermarket was too far away, and two kilometers was a short distance in front of the car. Boggs quickly drove to the entrance of the supermarket.
The supermarket has about eight or nine store areas, and a group of staff are currently removing the locks of things on the shelves.
Because Feiying has been rampant in zero-dollar shopping recently, and there are more black people in the state of Dorado, even a toothbrush in the supermarket will be locked.
Boggs doesn't like black people, no, to be precise, he thinks white people are the only noble ones, and everything else doesn't matter.
Of course, in Feiying, Boggs only dared to think about this idea in his heart and could never say it out loud.
I don’t know if I will be caught if I go out, but the glass at home will definitely be smashed.
Black people are just so vulgar and unreasonable.
If our statuses were equal, wouldn't the scalping of your ancestors by our ancestors be in vain?
Boggs parked the car and was about to go into the supermarket to pick something. A smiling middle-aged man smoking a cigarette appeared at the door. He seemed to be in a good mood. When he saw this, he stopped him and said, "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Who are you? Do you care so much?" Boggs didn't answer, but asked with a frown - he didn't like this guy's attitude.
Of course, the more important reason is that he is still black.
"I'm the owner of the supermarket." The man's tone was still casual, even more arrogant: "So why do I ask you? This is my territory."
"What am I doing in the supermarket? I'm here to buy things! I'm your customer!" Boggs emphasized the emphasis on the customer. Being looked down upon by black people really made him angry:
"So I am your God! You'd better be more respectful! Otherwise -"
"Oh, my God, Mr. God, please don't go in, because our supermarket is closed." Before Boggs could finish speaking, the man interrupted sarcastically in a very exaggerated tone.
"What do you mean?" Boggs stopped.
"The items have been sold out, you can't buy anything anymore." The man said with a smile.
"Are you kidding? Aren't there so many things? Are you telling me they're sold out?" Boggs pointed at the products packed inside the transparent glass and asked with his eyes widened.
"Someone has already paid a high price for the whole package. Didn't you see that my employees are removing the locks? These trucks are used to load goods, and most of them have been delivered." The man said with a smile.
"Bought them all?" Boggs couldn't believe it.
"It doesn't really matter. I kept some for myself. Do you need it very much? If you really need it, I can consider sharing it with you." The man looked Boggs up and down and asked.
"Of course, of course I need it!"
An uneasiness rose from the bottom of Boggs's heart. People always pursue rare things. When there are plenty of supplies in the supermarket, no one wants to stock up. But when the supplies are almost sold out, everyone will subconsciously start to panic. .
This is also a herd mentality.
Everyone else is stocking up, so you should stock up too.
"Then come with me." The man raised his eyebrows and led the way, taking Boggs to the warehouse inside the supermarket.
"These are all things I didn't sell. See if you need any." The man's words were mixed with smoke as he sprayed onto Boggs' face.
"Yes, this, this..." Boggs didn't have time to pay attention to the other party's rudeness and immediately started to choose.
"But please note in advance that the prices of things here will be a bit high." The man then added.
Boggs, who was loading things into the cargo basket, stopped, frowned slightly, turned to look at the black man, and asked, "How tall are you?"
"Twenty-five times the original price." The man said calmly, glancing at the can of yellow peach in Boggs' hand: "For example, the one in your hand costs 150 Flying Eagle Yuan per can."
"Take less? 25 times? 150 Eagle Dollars? Why don't you go and grab it?" Boggs was furious.
That’s not even 25 times anymore!
"Robbing is illegal, but I am a good citizen." The man was unhurried and even smiling.
"Eight Eagle Yuan per can is twice the usual price. This is the limit I can accept!" Boggs gritted his teeth and said.
Now the other party has the initiative.
Boggs was willing to spend a little money to solve the problem.
Seeing what Boggs said, the man laughed contemptuously, stepped forward and pulled the basket back from his hand:
“If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it.”
"Do you know how much money the customer outside almost bought my supermarket paid?"
"I'm also paying attention to what's happening in Dongguo! Do you think I'll give him a discount when he buys so much?"
"No, no, no, not only was there no discount at all, but the rich man bought everything at ten times the original price of all the supplies! Oh, now I even feel that ten times is still too low. I should give that rich man more money. pen."
"My current net worth is short of your 8 flying eagle dollars for a jar? The things in this warehouse were brought by myself for emergencies, poor white kid! If you can't accept it, just get out and go home. Go and nurse from your mother’s arms!”
The man's mocking tone was unabashed.
"You're breaking the law!" Boggs yelled.
"What law did you break?" The man was surprised now. He didn't expect Boggs to say that.
"From Dongguo..." Boggs blurted out subconsciously.
