The rich aroma of coffee lingered at the tip of his nose, and everything in the apocalypse had finally fallen into place. However, in the real world, the trading company he had started with his classmates was barely surviving on its own orders. Although he could guarantee the number of orders, the entire company was developing in a distorted manner.
His only source of income came from the money earned through the God Index in the stock market.
Now, Zheng Yifan had amassed a total of 17 million, all of which was invested in the stock market. After operating for some time, Zheng Yifan had to be cautious; as capital increased again, it was uncertain when he would attract unwanted attention and end up losing everything. The terror within the system was something he, without any backing, could not withstand.
He needed to find new profit points and bring God Index onto the world stage to extract money from the global stock market.
In the vast Stock Market, his small amount of capital would soon be like a drop in the ocean, disappearing without a trace.
Meanwhile, under such strict domestic regulations, if he continued operations for another month, he might just find himself invited for tea by the securities regulators.
Rubbing his somewhat disheveled hair, Zheng Yifan leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and pondered over strategies.
After all, he was just an ordinary Otaku, managing to establish a trading company was already quite an achievement. Now, however, the money he had thrown into the market barely made a ripple.
The most substantial assets he held were those Gold and Silver Jewelry, which had been stripped from Zombies. Once upon a time, these items were used as Currency for trade in the Gathering Place, thriving for a while before being thoroughly searched by explorers who shattered the newly established financial system into pieces.
Zheng Yifan’s Ration Tickets system consisted merely of metal pieces manufactured by modern machines.
In this apocalypse, blacksmiths could replicate them; it was just that production costs were too high and not worth it.
These items could at best be considered crafts; they were temporarily circulating. Once they captured industrial power by conquering cities, these Ration Tickets would need to be updated and replaced.
Meanwhile, those in the laboratories had begun restoring computers using old parts and adjusting power supply voltages.
Reducing the original 0V voltage to 110V would allow for normal operation.
In the island nation in the Northeast of Huaguo, isn't it running on 110V? Yet, it has managed to survive just fine.
However, the future of electricity transmission remains a challenge. As long as electricity exceeds 0V, it will be restricted by Vital Energy, and so far, there has been no breakthrough solution.
With no other options, Zheng Yifan had to make a phone call for help.
Although Li Jun, this fat guy, usually kept a low profile, his family connections were undeniable. Having been active in high society for a long time, there were things he could accomplish that others might not be able to.
But Li Jun's response left Zheng Yifan dumbfounded.
It turned out that the target he had set his sights on had long since become someone else's prime interest.
"What! You want to start a jewelry company? And you're dealing in black market goods? Are you kidding me? I can support you if you want to open a regular jewelry store, but you're telling me you want to acquire jewelry through illegal means and grow the company?"
"That's simply impossible. To succeed in this venture, you need to have connections with at least the top seven people in the capital."
"Otherwise, your business won't even get off the ground before someone wipes you out."
"In my opinion, these things are better handled abroad. No matter how you go about it, they only care about money, not people. As long as you have cash, you can get things done. Plus, there are professionals who can help you launder your assets."
Then Li Jun updated Zheng Yifan on the recent situation of their company. They had more or less secured the necessary supply channels and could purchase most items in bulk at any time. The only frustration was the company's operations.
Currently, the company only served Zheng Yifan and had no external business. Such a company was abnormal. Once they stabilized and hired a few staff members, they began to seek orders and expand their business everywhere. Following the principle that even a fly's leg is meat, they searched nationwide for opportunities.
Of course, at such times, Li Jun naturally took charge under the pretext of overseeing the situation from the headquarters. With a few casual phone calls, several business deals were already on the way.
In the end, the two of them chatted for over half an hour before hanging up.
Li Jun's words overturned all of Zheng Yifan's plans. Now, those lucrative opportunities had long been devoured clean, leaving no room for him to maneuver.
All he could do was partner with foreigners and venture into capitalist countries to seek fortune.
In those countries, the money he held was his ticket to success; with wealth, he could accomplish things. Unlike now, where even if he had money, it couldn't be put to use. Or perhaps they simply looked down on his meager offerings.
"Are these Gold and Silver Jewelry just going to sit there gathering dust?"
The Jade Pendants were not raw stones; they couldn't be disguised as anything else.
Even if he sent them to the Antique Market, he might only manage to sell one or two pieces. If he tried to sell them in bulk, he would definitely face dire consequences.
Currently, in the warehouse of this post-apocalyptic world, there were thousands of ordinary Jade Pendants and Jewelry pieces, with dozens of exquisite items among them. Not to mention diamonds, gold, and other precious metal ornaments. This was merely a result of a short period of accumulation.
This was already being counted by the box.
These days, who gets married without buying a diamond ring? Little by little, many people ended up with at least one diamond ring in their possession. Moreover, Hansui City was also fond of diamonds and jade; everyone wanted to flaunt their accessories.
Other collectibles and various types of Jewelry were countless. These were just some of the recent acquisitions—all from the Explorer Alliance's endeavors.
And further afield, in the prosperous Hansui City, there was still a wealth of opportunities waiting for him.
Of course, he had seen the cash that Zombie was carrying. The patterns and anti-counterfeiting markings were completely different from modern coins and could not be used universally. Now he is in a very embarrassing situation. He has a treasure trove of money, but he has no way to sell it, let alone clear his name. After thinking hard, Zheng Yifan shook his head helplessly, and he was going to take a look on the street. See if there are any profitable opportunities. He can't get involved in those big businesses now, so he can only do it, and the business can become bigger. Just like McDonald's and KFC, they have more than 10,000 branches in the country and their profits are in figures. What he is thinking about now is how to get a new life in this kind of store. He doesn't want to open a Fast Food store, he doesn't have the accumulation. It is even less possible to utilize the resource base of the last days. He wanted to see if there was any way to develop the resources he had and create a new path. After tipping the singing girl Child two hundred yuan, Zheng Yifan left the cafe and walked on the hot street, looking for opportunities. Go find the breaking point. The first target is the major Gold and Silver Jewelry stores, of course, including those antique stores. He wants to see how those places operate. Can antique shops serve as a breakthrough point?
