2012 Doomsday Survival Record

"What do you think?" The old man tapped the shiny conference table casually with his index finger, looked at his son whose hair was starting to grey, and said with a smile, "Tell me what you think about this matter."

The middle-aged colonel pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "I also read the investigation materials about Lu Qian. Although the materials show that he was just a college student who was better than ordinary people before the end of the world, there was nothing special about him, but I always feel that there must be something in him. What secrets are we not investigating."

Before the end of the world, he can confidently pat his chest and guarantee that with the skills of his subordinates, he can find out what Lu Qian eats three times a day, how many times he goes to the toilet, and whether he snores at night. , but when the end of the world comes, the whole country is in chaos. Let alone the investigation now, the only remaining people from the National Security Bureau can keep an eye on the movements of the top leaders of the other military regions. How can they care about other people?Even if they really put a lot of effort into investigating Lu Qian's background now, they can't find anything except some superficial information.

Seeing that the old man did not speak, the colonel continued, "Not enough. Although this Lu Qian is a bit mysterious, he has never done anything out of the ordinary. He even plans to buy a shop in City A. At least it shows that he still has some confidence in the government. Yes. And the discipline of the mercenary group under his rule is quite strict, and there are many preferential benefits for the families of those mercenaries. It can be seen that his nature should not be bad. If he can be recruited into the establishment, it will be a great help .”

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Don't even think about it. He is now in charge of the entire mercenary group by himself. How comfortable is he? Will he be willing to enter the establishment and be under your control?" But that's not the case anymore.But for those who are a little bit capable and ambitious, how many are willing to join the establishment?It's not that the salary in the establishment is not good enough, but for those who are truly capable, who are willing to be disciplined and restrained by others, except of course, except for those who seek high positions.

"Then we can only figure it out slowly." A gleam flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged colonel.

The old man stood up, walked to the French window with his hands behind his back, looked at the scorching sun outside, and his eyes were deep and complicated: "Yes, the most important thing now is to verify the authenticity of that news. In addition, you should start to win over the Black Claw mercenaries Regiment, if necessary, give them a little help, the two mercenary regiments you supported before are too weak, if this continues, it will be extremely detrimental to our development."

The colonel lowered his head in embarrassment to the old man's merciless words. In fact, those two mercenary regiments are not too weak. In terms of overall strength, they can also rank among the top fifteen in City A.Originally, the ranking could be higher, but every time he saw good seedlings worth cultivating in the mercenary group, he couldn't help trying to transfer them to the establishment to focus on training.It is precisely because he loves talents like his life that the strength of these two mercenary groups has been stagnant.Of course, several other mercenary regiments with military ties did this kind of thing too, but they were not as frequent and 'thorough' as ​​he did.

In this room, after Wu Liang got online, he waited for two more days and finally got the approval letter.To his surprise, the final price of the store was actually half cheaper than the "preferential price" he found out before, and the person in charge of the store's sales revealed a strange enthusiasm and intentional or unintentional flattery. This made Wu Liang feel rather flattered.During the whole transaction process, this person mentioned Colonel Xie several times without any trace, and Wu Liang was secretly surprised.He grew up in City A since he was a child. Before the end of the world, his father was a retired veteran cadre. He was not a big official, but his advantage was that he had many colleagues, well-connected and well-informed. How could he not know about Colonel Xie?What's more, Colonel Xie also has a father who is the head of state.However, Colonel Xie's ability to sit where he is today is not entirely due to his father's relationship.It is said that he himself has some military talents, and his individual combat ability is also very strong, and he is extremely upright. Many people even laughed at him in private. I admire such a pure soldier even more.

But, why did their little mercenary group fall into the eyes of Colonel Xie?Or, what does the leader actually have to do with Mr. Xie's family?But it's not like that.

Wu Liang put away the doubts in his heart, and worked hard to deal with the person in charge, trying his best to seek benefits for the mercenary group.

Most of the shops in City A are owned by their owners. Even if the residents of City A have undergone many major cleanings, it is impossible to wipe out all these owners.After the defeat of the zombie cleaning operation at the end of March, in mid-April, the government nationalized all shops and houses on the grounds of wartime management needs, which caused a great shock.The government took many measures to suppress public grievances. More than a month has passed, and there are still many people who are dissatisfied.Therefore, Lu Qian is definitely the only one who dares to spend a lot of money to buy shops from the government at this time.

Because of the 'special offer price' that was tacitly approved by the superiors, Lu Qian only spent [-] tons of grain to buy twelve shops, large and small.After obtaining the government's special real estate certificate, Wu Liang followed Lu Qian's plan and arrangement, and twelve shops were listed for business one after another.Before the business came to the door, the troublemakers came first. There were many things like throwing and rolling, crying, kneeling and cursing, and those watching the excitement even pointed and took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, which made Wu Liang burnt out.Lu Qian sent Zhu Yun and Su Bai, headed by power-type supernatural beings, and some powerful team members to stand in front of the shop. Those who watched the bustle and caused trouble weighed their own abilities, and left in despair. The sufferer quarreled for several days, but before the people sent by Lu Qian took any action, they were arrested by the government first, calling it a disturbance of law and order.

After such a commotion, the shop's reputation spread, and gradually, business came to its door.

Originally, Lu Qian only planned to buy five or six shops, but now they have doubled the number of shops, which made him quite happy despite his heartache.

According to Lu Qian's plan, among the twelve shops, two are used as restaurants, which can also be used for external sales and processing; one specializes in selling tobacco, wine, chocolate, milk powder, nutritional products, snacks, etc., which are confiscated everywhere. One large store specializes in clothing for men, women, old and young, including new and old, including famous brands at home and abroad; two smaller stores have been turned into pawn shops, selling crystal core, gasoline, medicine, clothing, gold and silver, antiques, etc. , minerals, mutant beasts, etc. Anything of value can be pawned with the corresponding grain or crystal nucleus, and the price is absolutely fair, but there is one thing that only accepts dead pawns; the two largest shops have been built into rice and grain stores. The price is slightly [-]% more expensive than the official price in City A, but the quality of the grain is definitely better than the first-class grain sold by the government that is mixed with three or five years old grain; a small shop with an area of ​​only fifteen square meters was sold It has been built as a boutique cosmetics store, specializing in all kinds of cosmetics. Before the end of the world, Lu Qian didn't collect much of these things, so most of the products sold were cheap goods scavenged by the mercenary group from small supermarkets and small department stores in villages and towns.Maybe no one appreciates it before, but now even a disgustingly inferior scarlet lipstick, a box of rough foundation, and a bottle of greasy day cream can make women covet; Opened a fresh vegetable shop, selling all kinds of fresh vegetables, meat and eggs. At this stage, there are very few meat and eggs that can be sold. Most of them are self-grown vegetables in the villa area, and a small number of mercenary groups are searching outside In addition, there is a pharmacy that sells Western and Chinese herbal medicines. Among them, most of the Chinese herbal medicines are the ones that Lu Qian planted in the space before the plague broke out and were not sold out and stored in the warehouse. It is rare goods; the last store is positioned as a grocery store, and the store sells all miscellaneous things, daily utensils, auto parts, weapons and tools, etc. Of course, these are temporary, Lu Qian's ultimate goal is I want to sell firearms, but at this stage, city A does not allow third parties other than the government to sell thermal weapons, so I can only deal with the sundries in the warehouse that cannot be classified in detail.

The first person in charge of these shops is still Wu Liang. In addition, Wu Liang hired a person who has worked as a financial manager in a listed company as the financial director through external recruitment. Several people with accounting work experience were selected to build the finance department; the personnel in the administrative department and grassroots employees were all selected from the family members of the head of the bodyguard.The shop has not yet made a profit, but Lu Qian's reward is several times that of the survivors who worked as coolies for the government. It is not a problem to support a small family with just one person's salary. The year-end bonus will be calculated separately.The generous and stable remuneration made many people in the group red-eyed?

Those who were not selected were very envious. When they heard that there were still opportunities to open a store in the future, everyone was full of anticipation.Those who were selected were all grateful and wished to cut out their hearts and livers to express their love to the "kind" Captain Lu, and their family members in the mercenary group also worked harder.

After all, Lu Qian did this to buy people's hearts. After some actions, the effect was as good as he expected.

Although the business of the mercenary group was gradually getting on the right track in the depression, many things were still in turmoil, and Wu Liang couldn't make the decision at all, such as commodity pricing was one of them.The apocalypse is not the same as before. All kinds of commodities have clear price tags, and the value of many things is hard to measure. What's more, Lu Qian also asks them to try their best to make customers pay for the crystal core. In this way, if there is no clear internal pricing, business Can't be done at all.

But these things cannot be resolved in a few words, and the people from the county base who went north with the Black Claw Mercenary Group have been in City A for more than ten days. After cleaning up with all their strength, the regiment has temporarily dispersed. Now is undoubtedly the best time to go to the Central Plains, but Lu Qian still has a lot of things in his hands that need to be dealt with urgently, and he can't get away for a while.What's more, the military's attitude is ambiguous now, and someone always needs to be in charge.

Xue Chen and Lu Xun couldn't bear him to be bothered and tired the most. Seeing that he had been worrying about this matter for the past few days, they both made plans silently in their hearts.After dinner that night, the two said in unison: "Xiaoqian/Qian, why don't you stay here for now, and I'll go to the Central Plains with that bastard."

Lu Qian just wondered why these two people are so united today, and before he had time to feel relieved, he saw the two of them glaring at each other: "Bastard, who are you calling a bastard!"
