The boss-like man spoke with red eyes and a voice full of grief, anger and helplessness.
Zhang Luan patted his shoulder sympathetically, but suddenly an idea came to his mind.
When the people around saw that there was a new person joining, they gathered around and started talking about their unfortunate experiences.
These people have stockpiled goods worth at least 7,000 or 8,000 yuan, and at most 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, and all of these goods will expire within three months.
In fact, even if Snickers is expired, as long as the outer packaging is not damaged and not damp, it can actually be eaten.
But nowadays people attach great importance to food safety. No one will buy expired products, let alone products that are about to expire.
If you want to buy it, buy the new one from the factory.
So these Snickers bars are effectively rotting in our hands. And the longer this issue goes unresolved, the greater the chance of total loss.
The author says:
Author's words: I missed 27 chapters in the update on the 31st. I thought I had posted too few, so I updated 4 chapters at once and used up all my saved manuscripts. I cried my heart out!
Brothers who have already read it, please refresh and read chapter 27 again
Chapter 31 The goods have arrived
Zhang Luan listened to the complaints of people around him. He seemed sympathetic on the surface, but he was actually very excited inside.
"Brothers," Zhang Luan cleared his throat, attracting everyone's attention. "Just waiting like this isn't a solution. This company has obviously run away. We need to think of other solutions."
The boss-like man sighed, "You're right, but what can we do? There's no way we can sell so many Snickers bars on the market right now."
Zhang Luan pretended to think for a moment, then said, "I do have an idea, but I don't know if it's reliable. I heard that some charitable organizations will buy expired food. Although the price may not be high, it's better than paying outright."
The eyes of the people around lit up and they began to ask questions.
"I'm not sure about the details," Zhang Luan continued, "but I can help everyone inquire about it. If such a channel really exists, we can work together. If the volume is large, we might be able to negotiate a good price."
The boss-like man patted Zhang Luan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, if you can find this kind of channel, it would be a great help to us!"
Zhang Luan smiled and nodded, "I'll do my best. But don't get your hopes up too much, after all, it's hard to say for sure."
"By the way," Zhang Luan continued, "if such an opportunity really comes along, we need to count the exact number. If you don't mind, please leave your contact information so I can notify you promptly."
Everyone agreed and began exchanging contact information. Zhang Luan pulled out his phone and pretended to diligently record everyone's phone number and stockpile quantity. He noticed that the total amount of Snickers bars stockpiled by those present alone exceeded 50.
"Okay, I've got it all down." Zhang Luan put away his phone and looked around. "Don't get discouraged, everyone. I'll contact those charitable organizations as soon as possible. But we also have to be prepared. The price of this near-expiry product might be very low."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a cry of grief at the scene.
"That won't do!" a middle-aged woman cried. "I spent a lot of money on this!"
"That's right. If the loss is too big, all my hard work this year will be in vain," said another small supermarket owner with a frown.
Zhang Luan nodded with feigned sympathy. "I understand how everyone feels. But the most important thing right now is to get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise, once it expires, you won't get a single cent back."
At this time, the boss who had stockpiled 20 Snickers bars suddenly said, "Brother, how much do you think they can sell for?"
Zhang Luan pretended to be troubled. "To be honest, I'm not sure. But based on my experience, for something like this that's nearing its expiration date, it's considered quite good if I can get a 80% discount."
"80% off?" everyone exclaimed, "That's too low!"
Zhang Luan sighed, "I know everyone's upset, but this is the best possible outcome. Think about it, if we can't sell it, not only will we not get a penny back, but we'll also have to spend money to dispose of it. That would be a huge loss."
After hearing this, although everyone was unwilling, they had to admit that what Zhang Luan said made sense.
"Then...can you help us contact the buyer?" someone asked timidly.
Zhang Luan nodded. "I'll do my best. But don't get your hopes up too much, it's hard to say for sure. I'll make a phone call first."
After saying this, Zhang Luan walked aside and pretended to make a phone call. He said a few words in a frantic manner, then pretended to be happy and walked back to the crowd.
"Good news!" Zhang Luan said. "My friend said their agency can buy it, but the price is only 80% off. Do you think it's acceptable?"
Everyone looked at each other, although they were unwilling,
Chapter 29
I also know that this may be the last chance.
"Okay, it's better than losing everything." The boss who stockpiled 20 Snickers bars spoke first.
The others nodded in agreement. Zhang Luan, seeing this, immediately said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. But for ease of operation, I suggest you gather the goods in one place. I can rent a warehouse, and you can all deliver the goods there, and then wait for the buyer to come and inspect and pay."
Everyone agreed to the proposal and thanked Zhang Luan for his enthusiastic help.
Zhang Luan breathed a sigh of relief only after everyone had left.
The Snickers I bought this time were already much cheaper than the retail price, and now they are 20% off, so I think I’m making a profit.
Moreover, for those grocery store owners who were cheated like him, it can be considered as compensating for their losses, killing two birds with one stone.
Zhang Luan closed the door of the warehouse and entered the space with a tape measure.
He wanted to measure the size of the entire space and how many boxes of Snickers could be accommodated at a time.
However, when Zhang Luan entered the space again, he was surprised to find that the entire space had suddenly become much larger, almost the same size as the warehouse he rented.
It is seven or eight meters high, more than ten meters wide, and dozens of meters wide.
This amount of space is more than enough to fit those Snickers bars.
Although I don’t know why the space suddenly became bigger, it’s a good thing anyway.
Zhang Luan didn't think much about it and stuffed all the Snickers in the warehouse into the space.
Then he took a step forward and returned to the other world.
At this time, Camille was still tidying up the clothes in front of her, her little face flushed.
"Okay, keep pretending!"
Zhang Luan stretched and then put the supplies into the safe bit by bit.
After a while, the number of submissions finally reached 100,000!
jingle!
Another sound was heard, and gold coins poured into the purse like a waterfall.
Zhang Chen directly stored the fallen gold coins into the space.
After the transaction was completed, he did not leave the auction house in a hurry, but continued to check the auction brochure. Soon, he found a property for sale.
Injecting magic into the brochure, a miniature bird's-eye view of the property appears on the brochure.
There is a water system, a courtyard, and a two-story building on it, which looks very unique.
The starting price is 50 gold coins, and the auction has now reached 270 gold coins. There are still ten hours left before the auction ends.
That is to say, if no one bids higher than 270 gold coins within ten hours, then the property will be sold for 270 gold coins.
"This house is quite nice! What do you think?"
Zhang Luan asked Camille.
"As long as the master likes it, I like it!"
Camille whispered.
"Okay, let's buy this one!"
Zhang Luan looked at the bid price and saw a fixed price.
The price is 500 gold coins.
Zhang Luan really didn't have the patience to bid for this house with others by increasing the price bit by bit, wasting so much time just to save more than 200 gold coins?
For Zhang Luan, who has a million gold coins, more than 200 gold coins are nothing.
Fixed price auction!
jingle!
The bell rang again.
Five hundred gold coins were deducted from the purse.
Then, a purple diamond-shaped object the size of a car key and containing magical energy appeared in the safe.
Chapter 32: Cow Housekeeper
"This is..." Zhang Luan picked up the black diamond-shaped object and looked at it carefully in his hand.
The surface of this barrier stone is somewhat similar to metal, but has a unique rough texture, as if it was polished from some unknown stone.
In the sunlight, it appears to be a deep black, with a faint blue light faintly visible flowing in it, emitting a mysterious magical atmosphere.
Camille explained: "The barrier stone, we can use it to directly cross the barrier to the yard, and then we need to buy a new barrier stone and change the spell!"
"So... this thing is similar to a house key?!" Zhang Luan tried to understand.
"Well...a key is a key, and a barrier stone is a barrier stone...they're still different."
Camille pondered for a moment, as if trying to explain the difference between the two.
"Okay, it doesn't matter. How should this thing be used?" Zhang Luan handed the barrier stone to Camille.
"Just read the spell above. It's a one-time use and will disappear after use!"
Camille said this, hesitantly extending her little hand towards Zhang Luan.
As a slave, wanting to touch the slave owner is inherently disrespectful.
So even though she treated him more gently than Zhang Luan for a whole night, she still only dared to extend her hand halfway.
"Okay, you read it and let me see!" Zhang Luan didn't hesitate at all. He directly grabbed Camille's little hand, his eyes staring at the diamond-shaped barrier stone with curiosity.
"Let's begin, Master!" Camille's little hand was held by Zhang Luan's warm big hand. She felt the warmth in her palm. This warmth flowed directly into her heart, and her whole body felt numb.
She adjusted her mood and then recited the spell above.
In an instant, the surrounding scenery began to liquefy and dissipate, like a watercolor painting washed away by rain.
After a brief period of fainting, the two people appeared in a courtyard.
This courtyard is like an exquisite European oil painting.
It is surrounded by tall stone walls covered with emerald green ivy.
In the center of the courtyard is an elegant fountain, with clear water cascading from the hands of exquisitely carved angel statues and gathering into a small artificial lake.
Various colorful flowers are planted by the lake, and the air is filled with a faint floral fragrance.
A winding cobblestone path leads through the garden to an elegant two-story building.
The exterior walls of the small building are a warm beige, dotted with delicately carved window frames, and the roof is covered with reddish-brown tiles, shimmering softly in the sun.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Camille said in surprise, her big eyes sparkling with excitement, her little mouth slightly open, obviously deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery before her.
"It's really good!" Zhang Luan said, slowly walking into the hall.
The interior of the hall is spacious and bright, with the floor paved with smooth marble that gleams with a delicate luster under the light.
A few exquisite wooden tables and chairs are dotted around, making the space appear neither empty nor crowded.
Walking through the hall and into the backyard, a wide pool comes into view.
The pool has an irregular natural shape, dotted with smooth pebbles. The clear water shimmers in the sun, making it suitable for both swimming and a leisurely bath.
The side staircase is made of dark wood with intricately carved handrails.
Going up the stairs to the second floor, the first thing that catches your eye is a spacious bedroom.
There is a big bed in the bedroom, but there is nothing on it, it looks lonely.
Next to it is a study with full bookshelves lining the walls and a large desk in front of the window, with sunlight shining through the window onto the desk.
On the other side is the weapons and equipment room, but there are only shelves left inside, no weapons.
Walking out of the room and onto the small terrace, you can overlook the entire courtyard and the bustling market in the distance. The bustling crowds and colorful stalls form a vivid picture.
"It's so cozy here!" Camille said with shining eyes.
"Strange, I saw only bungalows around in the market, how come I didn't notice there was a two-story building here?" Zhang Luan asked curiously, standing on the terrace, looking at the market not far away.
"Because this barrier hides the entire courtyard, the courtyard cannot be observed from the outside.
