Cities in the wasteland are often very deserted, and even if there is some lively movement, it is often the sound of gunfire. Martial law, solemnity, and indifference are the monotonous perceptions of the world that survivors have. But in cities far away from the mainland of North America, even far away from the center of Mexico
The city of Merida even needs to be added with the word bloody.
But today, this perception has been shattered.
Merida City is a satellite city established by the Enclave to relieve resource pressure. To put it bluntly, the resources in one place are not enough, and everyone can only eat scattered. However, the Yucatan region where Merida City is located is originally desolate and undeveloped.
, except for some Mayan ruins, there is nothing.
There are half a million slave laborers gathered in the city of Merida. These people have little personal freedom. It is good to have enough to eat, but they have no spending power. However, there are also 30 to 50 thousand "Enclave" colonial groups in the city.
These people still have some spending power, and their purchasing power is extremely powerful.
Some of the tens of thousands of tons of supplies shipped from Havana will be sold on the spot in Merida by the 'Governor Alfonso' organization. After all, this place is still nominally the territory of the Mexican government. Zhou Qingfeng also needs to obtain local people
support and support.
Zhou Qingfeng did not use any special marketing methods. His method was very simple. He just hired trucks to transport things from the port to various traffic intersections in the city, and hired some people to set up stalls to sell.
To be honest, when boxes of goods were laid out, people rushing on the road didn't even dare to come and take a look. Everyone either went to work or went home quickly, and they were determined not to stay on the dangerous streets.
Zhou Qingfeng originally thought that as soon as the goods were put on the market, there would be a sales frenzy, but the reality was that there were only a few people in front of the door. He ran to a sales point in person, only to see two Mexicans in charge of sales standing beside the car.
,daze!
Going crazy….
You motherfuckers will die if you yell twice!
I yelled, but no one listened.
Well, not all Americans understand Spanish.
Zhou Qingfeng had to order someone to find a wooden board to write on the product sales, and add the product name and price. Finally, he had to find a translator, after all, the employees he hired were Mexicans who did not understand English.
As a result, someone finally looked at the sales cart on the roadside and became curious. They ran over to take a look at the goods and their eyes lit up, "This is marinated whale meat? One dollar and two pounds? It looks good."
Food is always the most scarce commodity in the wasteland, especially when the low temperature of nuclear winter causes all agricultural products to fail and livestock die in large numbers. People will not miss any opportunity to hoard food.
Cured whale meat retains most of the fat of the whale. The taste of this meat is not very good, and it is too greasy. Before the Cataclysm, no one ate this stuff because the fat was too high and unhealthy. What else is there now?
Is there anything more tempting than a piece of fat? It must be two pieces of fat.
"How much fat meat do you have? I want all of it." The first customer became excited. He has several people in his family and children, and they have to worry about food every day. But even the colonists of the 'Enclave'
Food can only be obtained through rationing.
Malnutrition is everyone’s enemy!
"I want it all, really! I want it all." The first customer waved his hands excitedly. He took out a few golden U.S. dollar gold coins from his pocket and asked to buy all the whale meat.
The 'Enclave' once tried to restore the supply of U.S. dollar banknotes, but was used by the Brotherhood of Steel to trick people into using counterfeit banknotes that looked like real ones. Now everyone uses precious metal currencies to do business. And in terms of currency value, it is the same as the first one to restore the use of metal currencies.
'Aurora Legion' consistent.
The translator who acted as a salesperson accepted the gold coins that the other party took out and told the Mexican employee: "Cut twelve pounds of marinated whale meat for this gentleman."
The oilcloth on the wooden basket was lifted, and inside were large pieces of meat. The first customer was stunned when he saw these pieces of meat. He thought he was just lucky to meet a black market dealer selling a small amount of supplies, but now he saw
Come to this stall for public mass sales.
"You actually have so many goods?" The customer was full of surprise and incredulous. Now the stores have long since disappeared, all the goods have been swept away, and the citizens often have nowhere to spend their money. Because all supplies have been taken away by the bureaucracy.
Control and ration.
Holding a large piece of greasy whale meat in his hand, the first customer even became a little scared, "I will definitely be robbed if I am seen like this. Who knows, will someone shoot me for this? For food?"
Murder is nothing new."
"We can send you back." For the sake of the first customer, the translator called two guards from the Governor's Palace over the intercom and sent the other person home.
The happy scene of holding a piece of meat and going home with a smile on your face has become the biggest advertisement at the point of sale. Anyone who sees it rushes up to ask where the piece of meat comes from?
"Bought?"
"One dollar and two pounds?"
"where?"
This time there was no need for any publicity. As long as those who heard the news rushed towards the truck at the sales point with all their strength. In just a few minutes, hundreds of people surrounded the truck.
"Queue, don't crowd." The salesperson had to shout loudly. Fortunately, Zhou Qingfeng sent his own Guards of the Governor's Palace to maintain order, which prevented chaos and goods from being robbed.
In this winter, a long queue appeared on the street, tens of meters long with hundreds of people, and people were constantly joining. Everyone was trying their best to spend money, no matter how much the goods were, they were buying desperately
hoard.
"Meat, I want meat, give me the biggest piece."
"The fat ones are the best, I want fat meat."
"The meat is all sold out? What else do you have? Matches, soap? Okay, both are fine, I want them."
The food on the truck was sold out immediately, and the salesperson had to loudly say that the supply would continue tomorrow, but people didn't believe it at all. Some people even cried bitterly because they couldn't buy meat, while more people tried their best
Sweep other goods.
In less than an hour, actually only half an hour, a truck full of goods was emptied in exchange for baskets full of gold and silver coins. But the customers who wanted to buy still refused to leave and kept asking questions.
When is the next sale?
"No more today, please come back tomorrow. We will come again at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." The sales staff could hardly leave and had to repeatedly publicize their identity and goods reserve status, "We are a sales company established by Governor Alfonso
Team, the goods are still sufficient, don’t worry, don’t worry!”
In fact, no one was worried at all. Zhou Qingfeng organized 20 sales trucks and set up 20 sales points. As a result, early the next morning, thousands of people gathered at each sales point, and everyone stared at them.
Eyes, waiting in the howling cold wind for the arrival of the sales truck.
