283 Celestial Trade (2/2)
”Understood!” 14 uniform responses roared thunderously.
”Get moving!”
”Yes! Sir!”
...
After seeing Jiang Chen come out, Cassan strolled over in fearful steps.
”Boss, who are they?”
He heard all the noise inside the warehouse.
”The security company I hired. You don't need to mind them, just do your usual routine. Don't peek at things you shouldn't peek at and don't say things you shouldn't say. Just remember these two points and you are good to go.”
Cassan gulped and fiercely nodded. Then he replied with unease.
”Mhmm.”
He only wanted to find a comfortable job; he didn't want any trouble. He could receive a wage of 10 USD per day by being bored and chewing on sugarcane while sitting in front of the warehouse's door, it was like a dream come true.
Knowing that the young man wouldn't find trouble for himself, Jiang Chen didn't say too much about confidentiality.
”Give me the spare key to the warehouse.”
Cassan immediately took off a set of keys from his waist and handed them to Jiang Chen.
”You can go home early today.” Jiang Chen took the key as he patted him on the shoulder.
”Yes.” Cassan nodded as he was smart enough to not ask about anything more. He picked up the sugarcane he didn't finish before heading home.
Seeing Cassan walk away, Jiang Chen walked to warehouse one.
Jiang Chen dragged open the metal door and looked at the goods inside. A smile surfaced on his face.
Five hundred square meters of space was stuffed by all kinds of containers.
There were dairy products from Australia, airtight-sealed meat, and canned food manufactured by Xinlong Food Processing Plant. Pork, lamb, and other kinds of fresh meat were stuffed in ten giant freezers. The bags of rice piled into a small mountain.
”Woah, with the average height being two meters, this is at least over one thousand tons of food.” Jiang Chen looked at the mountain-high pile of food and was shocked.
Estimating one pound of food a day, one thousand tons of food could last half a million people for one month. Compared to the population on Sixth Street of less than fifty thousand, Fishbone base could barely break the one thousand mark even with the increase in population.
Not only would the daily consumption for over half a year be solved, but this quantity would also be enough to supply their trading needs.
The good thing was Jiang Chen is overseas. If this batch of food disappeared in Hua, there would definitely be some problems.
Jiang Chen didn't immediately start transporting. Instead, he went out and opened warehouse two.
Warehouse two stored the equally scarce salt on the wasteland.
The salt need for Wanghai City mostly depended on the survival camps such as Liuding Town near the coast, but the production quantity was low. Because of the limitation in production, the quality of salt was also not high. It was against the law to store salt on a large scale, but on the volatile Pannu Islands, it was not a big deal.
Other than containers full of salt, there were beers, fruits, and fish produced locally.
These products were custom made. There was no package on them at all.
These products would be hard to pass through customs in other countries, but it was not an issue in Pannu. Jiang Chen just stuffed a few hundred dollar bills to solve the problem that was not even a problem.
After verifying the goods, all there was left to do was making round trips to move the supplies.
As Jiang Chen looked the piles of supplies, he had a troubled smile on his face.
”How long would moving these take...”
