Chapter 3: Stockpiling Supplies [Part 2]

Lin Yuexi slept soundly that night and was awakened by her phone’s alarm in the morning. She woke up and saw that it was 8:30 am. She got dressed, cooked some breakfast and ate it, then went to the space and drank a cup of spiritual spring water. Feeling refreshed, she drove to the company and handed over her work. Seeing that her special assistant was not there, she called him to see how the house and company shares were being handled.

The special assistant replied on the phone, “The shares have been transferred reasonably, several properties have been sold at market prices, and all the stocks have been sold, making a lot of money…” Lin Yuexi was very happy and asked, “When will the money arrive?” The special assistant replied, “You can check on your phone now…” Lin Yuexi listened and quickly opened her phone, and several incoming payment messages popped up.

She checked them one by one and found that another 20 billion yuan had come in… She was very happy. She was indeed very lucky, as both her real estate and stock investments had made a lot of money… Besides, this company and its stocks were her above-board business. Behind the scenes, she was also a divine doctor, a secret agent, an assassin… Anyway, Lin Yuexi was now a lone wolf, and her only grandmother who raised her had passed away the year after she graduated from college! Although she was not young now, she had been working hard to make money for the past ten years and had never been lazy.

 She not only worked hard to start her own business but also actively supported charity and learned several languages, including English, Russian, and others. She could now be said to be proficient in all eighteen martial arts, a true female warrior. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yuexi drove to a clothing factory a bit further away. She saw that the fabrics in this factory were quite good and the colors were similar to those of the 1970s.

She simply told the factory manager to make a batch of clothes for the elderly, children, and young people, from the elderly in their seventies and eighties to newborn babies. The factory manager was very happy, as he had a lot of such fabrics in his warehouse. They had been sitting in the warehouse, unwanted, and Lin Yuexi happened to be ordering them, so he gave her a discount and promised to have them finished and delivered within two days.

After agreeing on the price and quantity, Lin Yuexi paid a deposit, handed him the address and said, “After you’ve finished, just deliver them to this address…” “Okay…” said the clothing factory manager happily. After that, Lin Yuexi asked him where there was a fabric factory, and the clothing factory manager told her that there was one not far away. Lin Yuexi listened, got in her car and went straight to the fabric factory.

After parking her car, she went straight to the gatekeeper and asked, “Sir, I want to order a batch of fabric, can you introduce me to your factory manager?” “Ma’am, hello! Sure. I’ll call our boss right away, just wait a moment.” The gatekeeper saw that Lin Yuexi had a different aura and replied enthusiastically. He then dialed the boss’s phone and said that a lady wanted to order a batch of fabric and asked if she could come in.

The boss agreed, and then the gatekeeper opened the door and said, “Ma’am, you can go in. Go up the stairs to the fourth floor, the second room on the right is our boss’s office. Go and talk to him directly!” “Okay.” Lin Yuexi replied. The gatekeeper then opened the door for Lin Yuexi to go in. As soon as she reached the second floor, she saw the fabric factory boss walking towards her. “Hello! Ma’am, are you here to buy a batch of fabric? What are your requirements?” The boss said to Lin Yuexi.

“Hello, do you have any dark cotton cloth and dacron, as well as floral and woolen cloth, the kind that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s?” Lin Yuexi asked. “Yes, yes, we have…” The fabric factory boss replied quickly. After that, the fabric factory boss led Lin Yuexi to the warehouse to see. Sure enough, there were mountains of old fabrics in the warehouse. Upon closer questioning, the boss learned that the factory had been open for many years and had accumulated a lot of such fabrics.

 No one wanted this kind of fabric, so it had been stored in the warehouse all along. Lin Yuexi saw these fabrics and was very satisfied. She asked, “Boss, can you give me a discount on these fabrics? If you can, I’ll take them all…” The boss quickly replied, “Yes, if you take them all, I can definitely give you a discount…” So Lin Yuexi negotiated a price with the boss, paid the bill, and left the boss an address: “Boss, you can just deliver them to this address!” The fabric factory boss repeatedly agreed, “Okay, okay…” After leaving the fabric factory, Lin Yuexi looked at her watch and saw that it was noon.

She saw a restaurant and went in. The waiter asked her if she was there to eat, and Lin Yuexi said yes. The waiter brought her a menu to order, and she ordered sweet and sour pork ribs and Kung Pao chicken. After finishing, she found that the food in this restaurant was quite good and ordered 300 portions of each to take away.

Then she went into a trade market, which had all sorts of commonly used items and small commodities. Lin Yuexi was very happy to see them, as she wouldn’t have to run around buying these things. She walked around inside and bought two thousand boxes of tissue paper, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, and face towels, as well as two thousand boxes of various small packs of tissues, eight thousand boxes of sanitary napkins, both daily and night use.

She saw baby bottles, diapers, pull-ups, and some children’s diapers, bottles, baby wipes, baby cream, shampoo, shower gel, bath towels, laundry detergent, as well as some hair ties and hair clips that little girls liked. She also bought some everyday items, such as bowls, pots, ladles, basins, knives, cutting boards, frying pans, woks, clay pots, rolling pins, and all kinds of kitchen utensils, 800 sets in total, and 2,000 boxes of various dishwashing detergents. She saw soap, hand soap, laundry detergent, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and hair masks, and bought 3,000 boxes of each.

 Then she went to the milk powder area and bought 5,000 boxes of various stages of milk powder for babies, the elderly, and young people. After that, she bought various sizes of packaging bags and boxes, thinking that she would use them to sell things later. Then she went to the electrical appliance area and bought fans, computers, mobile phones, laptops, electric pancake makers, pressure cookers, meat grinders, blenders, rice cookers, etc., buying 100 sets of each.

After buying all this, she went shopping at the mall. Anyway, she had no use for the money, so she bought everything she liked. After buying it, she went home and put it all in the space. Lin Yuexi had been shopping for several days, and she had bought almost everything she needed. Thinking about the three essentials of that era, she simply found someone to order 20,000 radios, 50,000 men’s watches, and 100,000 women’s watches.

 She didn’t care about the brand, she bought whatever brand she saw. She also went to the second-hand market and bought several sewing machines, as well as 20,000 electric sewing machines, 20,000 Yongjiu brand bicycles, 20,000 Phoenix brand bicycles, and 20,000 of each type of men’s and women’s bicycles, regardless of the brand…
