Chapter 468 Purchasing Materials

There are two villas, one is being renovated and the other is being soft-furnished. Looking at the rising numbers in the stock account every day, Li Mu feels a bit boring.

So, I rented a warehouse of nearly 1,000 square meters nearby and started purchasing and stocking supplies.

First of all, considering the high temperature apocalypse, order is relatively chaotic, and some self-defense weapons are indispensable.

There is a saying that goes like this! If my neighbor has food, I have a gun, and my neighbor is my granary!

As a rich man, in an era of chaos, it is impossible to preserve so much supplies without weapons.

The best choice is guns, but this is difficult to obtain in China. You can store some crossbows, recurve bows and compound bows. There are also some cold weapons, knives, swords, daggers, military spurs... You can also store some.

If there is no food in the future, you can also hunt.

Of course, you can have cold weapons, and you can't lack guns. Li Mu plans to take time to travel abroad. If he has space, he can still build a batch of hot weapons.

In addition to weapons, protective equipment is also needed, such as bulletproof shields, body armor, aluminum alloy or stainless steel shields, personal armor and protective gear, etc...

Monitoring equipment is also indispensable. In this regard, Li Mu has contacted a professional company to install a full set of monitoring and early warning equipment for the villa, including infrared alarms, infrared beam fences, electric fences, etc.

In addition to safety issues, food issues are equally important.

It’s hard to say whether food can grow normally during the high-temperature apocalypse. If production is reduced on a large scale or even eliminated, it will definitely cause a food shortage, and it is normal to hoard a batch of food.

The first is the staple food. Li Mu purchased ten tons of dehydrated rice in the shell, mainly because it has a relatively long shelf life. It can be stored for ten years, not to mention three years.

Li Mu also purchased two tons of wheat. It’s not that he doesn’t want to purchase more, but wheat is actually more troublesome than rice and needs to be processed into flour.

The purchase of these two tons is only for spare use, and it remains to be seen whether it will be used in the future.

In addition, we also purchased a ton of soybeans and mung beans, which can be ground into soy milk or soaked in bean sprouts.

If you can’t eat vegetables in the future, bean sprouts are a rare dish that can supplement vitamins.

There are also barley, oats, lotus seeds, lilies, dried dates, sesame seeds, peanuts, chestnuts... These grains are suitable for long-term storage. Li Mu also purchased three tons of them.

In terms of vegetables, Li Mu purchased a batch of vacuum-packed dried vegetables that can be stored for a long time.

In terms of meat, Li Mu mainly sells canned meat in various flavors and types, and purchased about two tons of canned meat.

A ton of bacon, bacon and Jinhua ham, which have a relatively long shelf life, were also purchased.

As for fruits, the shelf life of fresh fruits is not very long. If you want to store fruits, you mainly need to can them.

Li Mu purchased three tons of canned fruits of various flavors and types.

Nowadays, in the market, not only canned fruits and canned meats are popular, but also canned vegetables are popular. Vegetables are dehydrated to make various flavors and vacuum-packed, which can last for a long time. Some canned vegetables have a shelf life of even more than ten years.

Li Mu also purchased three tons of canned vegetables of various types and flavors.

In addition to staple foods and non-staple foods, there are also various seasonings. Li Mu also purchased a batch of iodized salt, a ton of sugar, and also stocked up on a lot of seasonings of various flavors.

As for tobacco and alcohol, I have stocked up on more than a dozen boxes of cigarettes, which have a relatively long shelf life and can be traded if necessary in the future.

As for wine, more purchases are made.

Since there is no shelf life, the longer it is stored, the better it tastes. All major domestic brands of liquor have ordered three to four tons per piece.

Dozens of boxes of wines of various brands and flavors were also ordered.

There is also tea. I purchased a batch of high-end tea leaves at a high price and ordered half a ton of tea bricks. Compared with tea leaves, tea bricks have a longer shelf life, even ten years is a trivial matter. They are also easy to store and durable.



After the food purchase was completed, Li Mu began to purchase medicines and medical equipment.

Ventilator, oxygen concentrator, various first aid kits, Jinvita, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-fever drugs, antibiotics, anti-parasitic drugs, external medicines, bandages, scalpels, microscopes, cooling oil, sulfur soap, quick-acting Jiuxin Pills, Huoxiang

Righteousness, antivirals and more!

We also purchased a large quantity and piled them in the warehouse.

In terms of energy, Li Mu purchased seven or eight spare diesel and gasoline generators. Solar photovoltaic Li Mu also purchased a batch of spare materials, which can be replaced at any time if they are damaged in the future.

Li Mu also purchased dozens of tons of finished gasoline and diesel, but he didn't know if it was enough. He would have to purchase it in large quantities again in the future if he found a suitable storage place.

In addition, considering the extreme situation where power and gas were cut off and there was no energy for cooking, Li Mu found a factory to customize a dozen coal stoves, which were very popular in rural areas more than 20 years ago.

Ten tons of prepared briquettes were also purchased as backup fuel, which should be enough.

In addition, five tons of high-quality charcoal were purchased as a backup method to make fire for cooking.

The other one is water. As the source of all things, water is the most indispensable thing for human beings. Especially in the end of the world with high temperatures, water resources will be even more precious.

He purchased thousands of barrels of bottled water, thousands of pieces of mineral water, as well as Sprite, Coke, black tea, Red Bull, green tea, Wong Lao Kat... various beverages, and also purchased more than ten tons.

However, just stocking up on water is not a solution. If the tap water stops in the future, it will be really fatal in such hot weather.

In cities, unlike rural areas, many people in rural areas still retain their old wells. Even if the running water stops, there is still no shortage of water. In cities, if the running water stops, it will be really difficult to find water sources.

Even if we could find a few artificial lakes, not to mention whether we could drink from them, in such hot weather, most of them would have evaporated, so how much water would be left.

Then, you must find a living water source yourself.

When Li Mu was a child, there was no running water in the countryside. Every household had a pressurized well installed. If you wanted to drink water, you had to manually press the water up from the ground through pipes that penetrated into the underground water source.

The water tasted refreshing and cool, much better than the current tap water.

Unfortunately, after tap water became available, pressurized wells were gradually no longer used. However, many families still kept them, especially some elderly people who had been accustomed to them all their lives and could not get used to tap water, so they still relied on pressurized wells for water.

Since tap water will not be reliable in the future, it would be a good idea to drill two pressurized water wells.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately contacted the relevant company to drill two pressurized water wells in the backyard of the villa.

Although it is not allowed in the city, Li Mu doesn't care at this time. Besides, the privacy of the villa is good, and the people will not take action, and the officials will not investigate.

Not only pressurized water wells, but also professional water purification equipment and water storage equipment are indispensable, and they are also installed by the decoration company.

In addition to these physical materials, spiritual food is also indispensable.

I purchased a batch of physical books on a small scale and a large number of hard drives to package and download various knowledge and books from the Internet.

Domestic and foreign movies, TV dramas, variety shows... After downloading, there is a box of hard drives stored there.

No way, this is spiritual food. As modern people, if the Internet is cut off one day, we can't read novels or watch TV series... life will be so boring.

In addition to these, I also bought a lot of electronic equipment, including telescopes, high-power telescopes, cameras...LCD TVs, plasma TVs, and various home smart devices.

In addition, there are still more than 20 desktop computers and notebooks filled with various stand-alone games, which can be used to pass the time even if the Internet is disconnected in the future.

I also have more than 20 mobile phones, which are full of game novels, movies and TV series...



In this way, it took a week of busy work to complete the purchase plan, and the warehouse of thousands of square meters was filled.

Coincidentally, the soft decoration of the newly purchased medium-sized villa has been completed, and it is ready to move in. Li Mu did not hesitate, immediately checked out of the hotel and moved there.

Although this villa is not as big as the other one being renovated, it has a construction area of ​​more than 700 square meters. It is empty for one person to live in such a large area.

Not to mention cleaning and tidying up the housework, he has to do nothing every day.

Moreover, there is no one to even cook. If you don’t want to cook it yourself, you have to go out to eat every day.

For a moment, I really felt that it was not as comfortable as staying in a hotel.

For the sake of future quality of life, Li Mu had to consider hiring a housekeeper or nanny.

However, considering the upcoming situation, whether you are hiring a nanny or a housekeeper, you must be careful and carefully selected.

As a result, Li Mu contacted various domestic service companies in the city, offered excellent benefits and salaries, and began to look for suitable targets.

Because the salary offered was high enough and the treatment was generous enough, many people were eager to try it, and Li Mu was dazzled at once.

After many rounds of interviews, there were only two left, one was Sun Yuan, a young woman in her early thirties, divorced, childless, with a dignified and good-looking appearance.

Li Mu didn't stay until the end just because he was good-looking. In fact, Sun Yuan graduated in hotel management and worked as a middle-level manager in a five-star hotel.

Later, he switched jobs to a well-known housekeeping service company in this city and became a top gold medal housekeeper and a training teacher for housekeeping service personnel.

Whether it's cooking, doing housework, cleaning... he is proficient in everything, and he can be regarded as a personal butler who is proficient in all aspects of skills.

Originally, such a person would not work as a housekeeper on the front line, mainly because Li Mu paid too much.

The monthly salary starts at 35,000 yuan, the annual salary is 18 yuan, the six insurances and one fund are fully paid, and a grocery shopping cart is provided for 300,000 to 500,000 yuan, and various benefits are also abundant.

Such generous conditions made countless people eager to move. Sun Yuan was also a little tempted and tried it tentatively. Unexpectedly, she stayed until the end.

The other person who stayed until the end was a girl in her twenties, Liu Yue, who graduated with a nursing major. Not only was she pure and beautiful, but she also had a gentle personality and a soft-spoken voice.

He is also an expert in cooking and housework, especially when it comes to taking care of others. I feel that he can take good care of others.

It's both pleasing to the eye and capable, so there's no reason not to stay.

So, Li Mu originally planned to recruit one person first. Looking at the situation in front of him, he was struggling with who to keep or not, so he decided to keep both of them together.

Naturally, the two of them had no objection. When two people took care of one person, not only the workload was reduced, but they also felt safe. The contract was signed on the same day.

Li Mu also kept his promise and took them directly to pick up a vegetable cart. After seeking their opinions, he assigned Sun Yuan a Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Liu Yue a BMW 3 Series, both priced at around 400,000 yuan.

Equipped with a new car, the two of them are not satisfied. In addition, there is less work, less things to do, and more free time. They are completely settled and work hard.

Li Mu's quality of life began to skyrocket.

In the past few days, in addition to looking for housekeeping, he has not neglected other aspects. For example, after communicating with the Toronto factory, the matter of Knight XV finally came to an end.

A customer ordered a top-end version of the Cavalier XV, but when it was about to leave the factory, he suddenly didn’t want it anymore.

The Toronto side was afraid of losing their hands, so Li Mu was interested in taking over, so naturally he was eager to sign the contract soon.

However, Li Mu is not satisfied with this Knight XV. There are many materials and functions that need to be added. Li Mu wants to make it a civilian version of the land tank with multiple functions.

However, with so many modifications added, it will take about two months to reach Yun City.

In addition to the Cavalier XV, Li Mu also has his eye on a super touring car, the Mercedes-Benz Centurion 1200. This touring car can be said to be one of the top touring cars in the world.

This RV is 12 meters long, 5 meters wide, 4 meters high, has a wheelbase of 8 meters, and weighs 26 tons. It is equipped with an 8-liter diesel engine with a maximum output of about 530 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1,900 Nm...

Coupled with the powerful off-road capabilities of this car, some netizens even called this car a doomsday chariot. In extreme natural environments, relying on the configuration and circulation system in the car, you can still live a decent life.

Although this car is mass-produced in Germany, it still needs to be ordered in advance and equipped with various functions and accessories.

Li Mu spent more than 12 million yuan to get the matter done. After completing the modification in about two months, the car can be sent to China.

After finishing this work, the pressure well has been drilled.

Compared with pressurized water wells in rural areas, they are only a dozen meters deep, and the pipes used to lift water are not large, with a diameter of only three or four centimeters.

The two pressurized water wells drilled this time were drilled to a depth of 150 meters at a time in order to prevent the shallow groundwater from being depleted. The pipes used to lift the water were more than ten centimeters in diameter.

Naturally, under such circumstances, ordinary pressurized water wells can already bring up enough water, and only some high-power water pumps can be used.

This is exactly what Li Mu hopes to see. As long as the water pump is installed in place and the water purification system and water storage system are connected, there will be no need to worry about running out of water in the future.

In the afternoon, the water pump was installed in place and I tried it. A stream of clear water spurted out immediately, and it was very cool. It seemed extremely cool in today's hot weather.

Take a sip and it feels better than tap water, with a natural taste.
