You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

Chapter 285 Lower the Price

"Not quite satisfied?"

Peng Liu slowed his steps upon hearing this and turned back to look at Liang Zhijie with slightly furrowed brows, asking, "What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Liang Zhijie quickly turned his head to check the surroundings and then moved closer to whisper, "Lord Liu, shall we go inside to talk?"

"Hmm, let's go up to the second floor."

Having said that, the two of them walked directly into the building that the company had purchased.

The guards at the door immediately locked the door on the first floor.

The living room on the second floor.

As soon as Peng Liu entered, the people in the room had already prepared food and water for him, and he quickly started talking with Liang Zhijie while eating, with half an hour passing swiftly.

By then, he had satiated his hunger and finally understood after listening to Liang Zhijie's cryptic words. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

"Does Mr. Zhang want to drive the price down?"

"Yes."

"I thought as much."

"It's just that the smiling tiger surnamed Zhang wouldn't say it outright."

Liang Zhijie nodded in agreement and added, "This guy probably saw that our supplies are plentiful and our need for salt is great, so he thought about lowering our prices."

Since the day Zhang Ye had visited, this was already the third time.

The main commodities brought over by the company were all canned goods.

Mostly meat cans, predominantly made from rats or wild dogs, and a few were seafood cans meant for the upper class of Wanhao District, naturally more expensive.

The original pricing was set at a hundred new dollars per can, regardless of the type.

However, the new currency received in exchange was not held by the company; part of it was used for the daily expenses of company employees locally, and the rest was kept as the operational funds for Liang Zhijie and Lu Yong in Wanhao District.

Their main responsibility was to bring those survivors, who had no other options left in this area, to the bases controlled by the company.

The most important of these was the rapidly developing Jiangbei Base.

There was a large demand for talent in all sectors.

Where there are talents, there is an economy.

Apart from scouting appropriate talents for the company, the rest of the money was used to buy and sell relatively scarce living supplies, such as salt and liquor.

The former was essential for survival, while the latter could be used for medical purposes like wound disinfection.

These were the priorities in their work.

The district didn't have a dedicated department for managing supplies, so the distribution of living supplies for the entire district was mainly handled by the Urban Management Bureau under him, and the extent of loss directly affected his personal interest as the director.

Peng Liu naturally understood this principle too, and his older brother Peng Yue had already instructed him beforehand.

"Then lower the price a bit,"

"Be proactive."

"You can even gain a bit of favor from Zhang, to avoid him and Lu Yong causing you trouble."

After deliberating for a moment, he gave his answer.

Liang Zhijie nodded, then proceeded to report in detail to Peng Liu the recent situation in the district, eventually handing him a form.

"The people listed here are the ones Lu Yong and I have recently recruited."

"They've all been medically checked."

"No issues at all."

Peng Liu scanned the list briefly and soon showed a satisfied expression. He initially intended to dismiss Liang Zhijie right then, but his mind suddenly recalled the advice Peng Yue had given him,

"Old Liu, you need to be more courteous with those two."

"You can even give them some perks."

Right, he had almost forgotten about that!

Upon remembering, he immediately dug out a game console and a walkie-talkie from his backpack and handed them to Liang Zhijie who was about to get up and leave.

"Boss Liu, what is this..."

"Don't you have a daughter? The game console is for her to play with. There's not much else for kids to do right now."

"Keeping it can help pass the time and make her happier."

"The walkie-talkie is for you."

Peng Liu tried to make his fierce face appear friendlier.

Indeed, an expression of gratitude immediately appeared on Liang Zhijie's face.

After thanking him, he took the gifts down the stairs and left.

The very next day,

over a dozen grim-faced, lifeless survivors were brought by Liang Zhijie to the company's headquarters early in the morning, where, one by one, they were registered and then loaded into a van by Peng Liu.

What awaited them was the Jiangbei Base of the company, which now had over five hundred residents.

Both the Hunter Squad and patrol teams were in desperate need of manpower.

Meanwhile, still stationed here, Liang Zhijie and Lu Yong began searching for new recruits for the company, but inadvertently stumbled upon a piece of shocking news.
