Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 117 - Harvest

Chapter 117 -117: Harvest

Boss Hu was quite happy to hear that they could still procure supplies, but he had something to say with a concerned look, “It seems you two are straightforward people, but regarding this exchange, I still need to mention something. We only have ninety kilograms of gold left temporarily, but we also have jade and jewelry. What would you like to trade for?”

Gu Pan hadn’t expected this, “Is that all the gold you have?”

She thought that even small vendors had a few kilograms, so shouldn’t a big boss have hundreds?

Boss Hu sighed, “Although gold is not valuable now, there isn’t enough of it inherently, and since it is the most liquid asset in the market, being exchanged constantly, there are new transactions every day, but it also leaves our hands every day. Therefore, no one can keep a large amount, as it’s all being used for trading. These are still stored here from several trade points, but we have other things, especially jade, which were worth many times more than gold before the apocalypse. If your boss collects them now, they could potentially be even more valuable than gold when the apocalypse is truly over, and he could make even more.”

Although everyone doubted whether the apocalypse would ever pass, who didn’t harbor hope in their hearts?

And indeed, many influential people are now seizing the opportunity to purchase some gold, silver jewelry, antiques, and paintings, thinking that, if the apocalypse were to pass, they could become rich overnight.

However, the relatively low stock of gold did disappoint Gu Pan to an extent, but it was still a good haul, and she couldn’t be too greedy.

She said, “Then let’s exchange ninety kilograms for today, and we’ll ask our boss about the rest. Boss Hu also knows that we’re working for someone else, and many decisions are not ours to make.”

Since direct confrontation was sometimes avoided, Gu Pan used this pretext consistently. They too were just subordinates, and if something was uncertain, they could always say they would consult with their boss, which was always a sound approach.

Boss Hu, though wanting to exchange for two hundred kilograms of food which is now the priciest, everything else had limits, except for food.

But he also wanted to secure this big client. Being too eager could spoil a single negotiation and ruin potential future cooperation. Considering how well the person’s boss had kept his men, he must be very capable.

So he said, “Alright, let’s exchange ninety kilograms for now. Where is your food, and when would it be convenient to trade?”

Gu Pan replied, “Not far from here. If possible, we would naturally hope to trade today so we can report back.”

Boss Hu agreed, “Sounds good. My goods are nearby too; let’s meet at the intersection ahead in twenty minutes.” Pointing to a nearby location, he preferred these transactions not to attract onlookers.

“Okay,” Gu Pan agreed, noting that the location was nearby in a rather vacant area, which didn’t seem like a setup.

Boss Hu went back to prepare the gold, while Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng said goodbye to Luo Sheng and went to wait at the trading spot, scouting the surroundings as well.

In about ten minutes, Boss Hu returned followed by a young man pushing a cart.

Gu Pan inquired, “Boss Hu, you don’t mind if we check the goods?”

Boss Hu laughed heartily, “It’s a rule of trading, isn’t it?” After speaking, he called out, “Liangzi.”

The man with the cart came forward and willingly opened the bags for inspection.

At that moment, Boss Hu, standing beside them, said, “For our first trade, let you see the gold first. In my territory, I must show some hospitality, as we are to cooperate long-term.”

Since the location was under their control, they did not fear robbery.

After checking, Gu Pan also had her grains inspected.

Targeting a long-term partnership, the exchange went smoothly; both sides checked the exchanged items thoroughly and found no issues, then they traded the items.

After the trade, Boss Hu smilingly told them, “If you two come across any good items in the future, remember old Hu.”

Gu Pan thought to herself that if they didn’t have more gold, then what was there to trade? So she said, “Absolutely, if we get good items, we will definitely come to Boss Hu first.”

Boss Hu, calculating his gains, then advised Gu Pan, “Young girl, I see you two are young, so I want to offer you some advice. Don’t let your boss lead you by the nose. These supplies shouldn’t just be traded for gold. Frankly, these gold and silver jewels, they’re not as valuable as weapons and ammunition, other essentials like salt, and sugar.”

After a pause, his face reddened slightly, and he added softly, “Your boss loves your big sister so much; don’t skimp on contraceptives. You know how to make the boss happy, don’t you?”

Both Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng also blushed but politely thanked Boss Hu for his advice.

Boss Hu further discussed how to curry favor with superiors.

They also learned that Boss Hu had superiors as well; he was middle management in the organization.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng’s identities were fake, but they had to keep listening patiently now to avoid arousing suspicion.

After talking for half an hour, Boss Hu led his people away.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng said goodbye to Boss Hu and, once they were in a secluded area, quickly stored the gold in the “Space” and then rode their motorcycle away from the place.

Driving a bit farther, they chose a quieter spot, then both entered the “Space”. Today’s haul was a great boon, ninety-five kilograms of gold, which increased by one thousand nine hundred square meters, suddenly making the “Space” seem much larger and more spacious. Now, they even had to ride motorcycles inside “Space.”

Previously at 9060 square meters, with today’s addition of 1900, the total was now 10960 square meters.

Both Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were delighted with the outcome. It seemed they needed to venture out to reap such rewards, but they also realized that area was pretty much tapped out, so it was time to move on.

Recalling what Boss Hu had said about the few points where the remaining gold was, they weren’t sure which ones he meant exactly.

To avoid unnecessary trouble and suspicion, they changed their appearance before hitting other spots, exchanging some gold with individual holders, then quickly exited the city for the next one.

At the two points, they traded for fifteen kilograms, now totaling 11260 square meters.

They drove to the next city, skipping smaller counties in between, as those had fewer people and thus fewer resources, making it not worth the gas and time.

Upon reaching the next city, they first rested and slept, planning to proceed at night.

This city was relatively smooth as well, but the gold haul was less than in the previous city due to the second-hand dealers’ leaders holding not just gold but other jewelry and jade.

Gu Pan had not survived to the end in her past life and didn’t know if the apocalypse had ended then, so she presently dared not trade their supplies for those valuables. It wasn’t necessary to risk current essential supplies for the potential of future wealth; stability was key.
