Lin Xuan listed three villas for sale through a real estate agency, with prices 30% below market value, totaling 160 million. The area is highly prestigious in Los Mythical City, and these properties should sell quickly.
After leaving the agency, Lin Xuan noticed a hardware tool city across the street. Since he came across it, he decided to go in and take a look.
In the post-apocalyptic world, various tools are essential. The most important one is the generator, and he needs to understand it well.
Entering the tool city, surrounded by a dazzling array of tools, he was a bit overwhelmed for a moment.
He randomly chose a branded store and intended to inquire.
"Boss, what would you like to buy? We exclusively offer the Yakult brand, quality guaranteed," a bespectacled man said with a smile.
"I want to see generators, could you give me an introduction?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Boss, what specific purpose do you have? If it's for home use, a small gasoline generator is sufficient."
"I have a project on hand, both small and large generators are needed, and the quantity should be substantial. I've heard that Yakult brand is particularly good, so I want to inquire thoroughly." Lin Xuan casually lied to make the store owner take it seriously.
Sure enough, the store owner's eyes lit up.
"Oh, so you're a big boss! Come, have a seat, let me introduce it to you." The attitude of the bespectacled store owner became much more enthusiastic, inviting Lin Xuan to sit in his boss chair.
He pulled over a small stool and sat across from Lin Xuan.
Then, after flipping through a catalog for a while, he took out one.
Let the introduction begin.
"For small generators, I recommend gasoline ones. They are lightweight, easy to move back and forth, and perfectly suitable for the load of general small power tools. Take a look at these models, electronic ignition, with a power of three kilowatts, and they are all noise-reduced." Lin Xuan took a look; they were all portable, suitable for use whenever needed.
"What about large ones? I need those with higher power." Lin Xuan intended to build a shelter in the future, providing daily power. After all, these small generators cannot run continuously twenty-four hours a day.
"For large generator sets, diesel is necessary," the store owner said, flipping a few pages.
"This one, five hundred kilowatts, is enough for a construction site. Low power consumption, safe and reliable, low failure rate, running continuously for a year is no problem at all. If you feel the power is insufficient, there are higher ones, but the price will be much higher. Personally, I think it might be a bit wasteful." Lin Xuan nodded; the store owner was indeed straightforward. For the shelter he planned to build, having a five-hundred-kilowatt power alone would be quite wasteful, especially considering fuel consumption.
"How about fuel consumption?" The store owner picked up a calculator and calculated.
"At full load, it consumes about one hundred and thirty liters of diesel per hour." Lin Xuan couldn't help but exclaim. One hundred and thirty liters, burning nearly a thousand dollars worth of diesel in an hour. It's quite powerful compared to the not-so-impressive one thousand dollars in his account. Diesel is a problem; it would be impossible to buy it after extreme heat arrives.
Seeing the pained expression on Lin Xuan's face, the store owner suggested.
"Boss, did you consider the waste of burning fuel during idle time? I can give you an idea. Although there will be some initial investment, you will find that this investment is completely worthwhile over time."
"What is it?" A battery! Yes, emit electricity, charge directly, automatically shut down when full, and restart when discharged. Doesn't this solve the waste problem?
Lin Xuan walked out of the hardware tool city, stretched, and chatted with the store owner for a full two hours.
This time, he spent 30 million, buying fifty generator sets, a hundred small generators, fifty sets of lithium battery packs capable of storing a hundred degrees of electricity, and various other electric tools.
When the store owner heard the quantity Lin Xuan wanted to purchase, he was skeptical until they signed the contract and Lin Xuan paid a five million deposit. Only then did the store owner dare to believe it was true.
He was ecstatic. Just with Lin Xuan's order, he could catch up on ten years of business.
The performance just now was almost like Lin Xuan was pinching and tickling him.
But the quantity of this order was too large. It would take at least fifteen days to import. However, the store owner promised that once they arrived, he could deliver them for free nationwide, and even provide free installation services.
Back in the car, Lin Xuan started the engine and quickly got out. It was too hot; the seats were scalding.
Finding a shady place, he waited for the car's air conditioning to cool down. At this moment, his phone rang.
Taking it out and looking at the caller's name, the good mood from earlier disappeared in an instant.
Isabella. Humph, last life was so miserable because of her. Does she want to try again in this life?
Just as he pressed to answer, Isabella's sweet voice came from the earpiece.
"Big brother, I made your favorite dessert and am on my way to your company."
Lin Xuan shivered upon hearing this voice; he couldn't help but shudder. He didn't know how he got infatuated with this i***t in the last life.
Thinking about the silly appearance from before, he felt that he was really lacking in wisdom.
He replied coldly.
"Get lost! Don't come looking for me in the future!"
"Big brother, did I do something to make you angry? Uwu~"
Goosebumps broke out all over his body, and Lin Xuan hurriedly hung up and blocked her.
He has a lot of things to do now and no time to waste on such rubbish.
Ignoring the heat, he opened the car door and sat down, driving to the next destination.
Wholesale street.
The whole street is full of wholesale shops, and he can only get a large amount of supplies there.
It's quite far away, took a whole hour to drive.
After pinpointing a conspicuously fronted fast food wholesale shop, Lin Xuan heard a commotion as soon as he approached.
Stopping to listen for a while, it seemed like the shop owner was being urged for payment, and the two of them started arguing on the phone.
"Damn it, urging every day, urging every day. If they have time, why don't they go find Lao De? Now they're targeting me, the guarantor."
"I told you long ago, Lao De is not a good person, but you didn't believe it. Now, people have run away, and the debt is still on you."
