"Yaoyao, how are the supplies doing now?"
Wang Hao asked casually while controlling the drone.
He entrusted the safety and distribution of the supplies to Lin Yuennan and Sun Yaoyao.
He didn’t want to worry about these things.
"We’re not short on food for now, that truckload is all long-lasting, hunger-resistant food.
If we save a bit, it can last a long ti. Moreover, we’ve already started planting.
We won’t be too short on food later on either."
At this point, Sun Yaoyao paused, showing a bit of difficulty on her face:
"But other living supplies are still in short supply, like toilet paper, sanitary pads, and so on."
It’s been a long ti since the apocalypse struck, and the living supplies in each household have almost been used up.
If we don’t replenish them in ti, they might run out soon.
Wang Hao had also stockpiled so of these items.
But they were limited too, sufficient for personal use, but if used to supply others,
he would run out quickly.
"My cousin plans to take so people to search for supplies in a couple of days."
Sun Yaoyao continued.
The formation of the security team was not only for the safety issues of the villa district,
but also to search for supplies.
After all, everyone is modern people; they can’t suddenly beco primitive.
Previously, everyone had so stock at ho, and they were more concerned about food and safety, so daily supplies were put on hold.
Now that food and safety are sowhat assured, other matters need so consideration too.
"Do you think we should issue currency?"
Wang Hao suddenly blurted out.
Living supplies are diverse, unlike grain.
The value assessnt is cumberso.
Bartering makes it hard to quickly exchange and acquire needed things.
Sun Yaoyao was slightly taken aback, then nodded seriously:
"Indeed, if we have currency, then settling labor and exchanging for supplies would be much easier.
It would save a lot of trouble, but issuing currency is very troubleso. We need to price each item first, and also, counterfeiting needs to be prevented."
The most important thing when issuing currency is preventing counterfeiting.
Once there are counterfeit bills, the entire financial chain could quickly collapse.
They had no ans to prevent counterfeiting, not even the conditions to hard-print money.
"Hold on a second."
Wang Hao ran up to the third floor and brought back a box.
"What’s this....."
Sun Yaoyao frowned, instinctively reached out, and opened the box.
"Huh?"
Seeing what’s in the box, he let out a surprised sound.
The box was filled with cards.
She picked up one to take a look.
On the front was the hard-printed image of a person, and in the upper right corner, there were so words: Hu Bao Yi Song Jiang.
The back described the ’Water Margin Heroes’, providing the skills value of the person and a brief biography.
"These cards are...."
Sun Yaoyao expressed that she had never seen them before.
"This is a piece of nostalgia for a whole generation!"
Wang Hao took a piece of chocolate from his pocket and popped it into his mouth:
"Xiaohuanxiong crispy noodles, the first generation Water Margin cards, this is it."
"Huh... huh?"
Sun Yaoyao tilted her head, apparently unfamiliar with these things.
Even Xiaoyueyue tilted her head, having never seen them either.
But they sounded impressive.
"This is the first edition from long ago, now it’s almost impossible to find.
In this Blue Sky Villa District, no one is likely to have them."
Wang Hao had a smug look on his face.
The idea of currency had crossed his mind before the apocalypse.
In so doomsday novels, alloy bottle caps were used as currency,
because their manufacturing process was complex.
But there were plenty of them in stock outside!
Any small supermarket might have a lot.
So Wang Hao chose these cards.
First, they’re easy to carry.
Second, their stock is very limited; many used to collect them but ended up throwing them away.
Third, they are ranked by ’Tiangang Disha’, with character ranks and numbers that can categorize their value.
They even have various rare shiny cards.
You could say they’re very NICE.
So of these cards were won by him from neighbors during childhood after gas of fried chicken, others were cast away by people after their excitent waned and all thrown at him.
Of course, a large part ca from a store he rummaged through in a second-hand market.
"Are there more of these cards?"
Once she understood, Sun Yaoyao’s eyes lit up and she quickly asked.
"Of course! There are plenty. I’ll guarantee them with food by issuing these cards. To be safe, make an effort to sign your na on them, or employ so other anti-counterfeit asure, just in case."
Wang Hao said lightly.
"Hmm..... I’m not good at this, but there are many finance experts in the villa. I’ll go find Elder Wu in a bit to have him make the connections.
They can then standardize pricing and denomination issuance."
Sun Yaoyao was a genius, but only in the dical field.
She didn’t know a lot and couldn’t do many things.
Professional tasks need to be handled by professionals.
Fortunately, this is a wealthy area.
There are quite a few finance experts, even economists, bank managers, and such.
With them, issuing currency would be a breeze.
"Yes, let them handle it."
Wang Hao nodded, but soon he had a new concern:
"If we issue currency, my supplies might not suffice."
"Probably!"
Sun Yaoyao said, sowhat uncertain.
"We need to figure out a way to move the supplies from the warehouse over."
Wang Hao thought about the supplies in the warehouse outside.
Lin Yuennan only brought a truckload back.
There’s still a warehouse full of supplies there.
Now the entire villa district is under his control, and it’s very safe.
Wang Hao felt that keeping supplies out was not as safe as keeping them here.
After all, so capable individuals had already started organizing small groups, searching for supplies.
There had been incidents in their area before too.
Though it was a remote place, there’s no guarantee soone wouldn’t hide there!
If sobody spotted it and reported it to a small group, they might clear out the zombies outside, break down his door.
The supplies would then belong to soone else.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao glanced at Sun Yaoyao beside him.
He rolled his eyes and jokingly said,
"Yaoyao, issuing currency and pricing items are big deals,
I’m not comfortable leaving it all to others. For the next few days, keep an eye on them. If they dare to be sneaky, just shoot them."
"What?"
Sun Yaoyao looked reluctant.
She expressed she only wanted to idle away her ti!
Eventually, she nodded, reluctantly agreeing: "Alright! I’ll keep an eye on them."
"Yeah, for convenience, don’t co back here these days. The villa district is very safe now, no need to stay here."
"What?"
At this point, Sun Yaoyao was completely unwilling.
She was very comfortable staying at Wang Hao’s place.
Having electricity or not is a completely different lifestyle, okay?
And it’s incredibly safe here, plus Wang Hao makes all sorts of delicious food!!!
"Big brother, did I do sothing wrong? Please don’t chase away, I’ll be very good, and I’ll do whatever you ask to."
She clung to Wang Hao’s arm, acting coquettishly.
She thought perhaps she had been too forward with Wang Hao.
He might be losing patience.
"No, no, I’m not kicking you out. Once everything is sorted, you’re welco to co back.
However, the defense of my villa is sophisticated. If you frequently co in and out, I have to open and close the chanism constantly, and it’ll be troubleso if I forget one ti.
Oh, let have soone move a barrel of diesel for you, so you can have electricity outside too, and your quality of life won’t drop too much."
Feeling the softness of her touch, Wang Hao couldn’t help but be stirred.
Suppressing his inner urges, he smiled and explained.
"Oh..... okay then."
Hearing that she could take diesel back, Sun Yaoyao’s expression finally softened a bit, reluctantly agreeing.
