Hugely profitable tobacco

After six days, the caravan organized by Tian Ying finally arrived at the Grand Canyon settlement.

 After receiving the news, Zhou Yuanqiang, of course, brought Qiu Guorui and a few others to the gate of the Grand Canyon settlement. Mixed in the crowd, he looked at the Tian Ying caravan and shook his head. Now Zhou Yuanqiang is grateful for his luck, and he can get the shortcut that Ren Xinyu knows. Otherwise, if he really rushed along the road, the result would definitely be very miserable.

Of the 47 caravans of various types, only less than 30 have safely arrived at the Grand Canyon settlement. The casualties are also very heavy. At least more than 100 of the 300 armed forces were eaten by zombies. These survivors are all in low spirits. They haven't washed for a week, making them look like beggars. While their clothes are slightly tattered, they are still dirty and their twisted hair is covered with dust.

 On the side of several cars, some pieces of zombie meat were still hanging. Under the sun, they turned black and stuck to them, indicating the hardships and tragedy along the way.

 The goods brought by Tian Ying and his team could not be considered small commodities, but sets of mechanical machine tools of different sizes. Unlike Zhou Yuanqiang's entry into the city, Tian Ying's convoy was close to the Grand Canyon settlement, and the authorities' army quickly surrounded the convoy and escorted the convoy into the settlement. They did not enter the crowded settlement, but drove directly to the military base.

 Seeing this scene, Qiu Guorui shook his head and said, "Tian Ying is very ambitious. I was just saying why he didn't follow the first wave of caravans, but led the team to attack nearby towns crazily. It turns out that he set his sights on these machines." Thinking of the importance that the Grand Canyon Settlement attached to Tian Ying, he shook his head again, "No wonder Tian Ying can pull up a team of hundreds of people, while I can only pull up a team of a few people. There is a huge gap in thinking alone. With the industrial situation of the Grand Canyon Settlement, this batch of machine tools should increase Tian Ying's strength several times."

 The management organization of the Grand Canyon Settlement is not stupid. Now that the road is open, zombies can no longer stop the pace of human beings. There will definitely be some friction between the two settlements. In the face of the strength of the Wasteland Settlement, the Grand Canyon Settlement will definitely suffer a lot. After all, the Wasteland Settlement can produce and manufacture weapons, while the Grand Canyon Settlement can only manufacture weapons in small quantities in a workshop-style. The distance between the two sides in terms of military strength is a bit large.

 In this case, the Grand Canyon settlement certainly tried every means to get all kinds of machine tools to recover its disadvantaged position. Tian Ying's vision was very accurate. He could find the problems that had not been exposed between the two parties. He directly resold them and made a lot of money.

Thinking what others dare not think and doing what others dare not do, this Tian Ying seems to be a person of character.

 If Tian Ying was a force in the Grand Canyon settlement, Zhou Yuanqiang would not pay too much attention to him, but Tian Ying and himself were in the wasteland settlement, so he could not help but attract Zhou Yuanqiang's attention. There are three types of people's positions: hostile, neutral, and friend. But sometimes, it is either a friend or an enemy, and there is no so-called neutrality. The end of the world is cruel, and it is often the big fish that eat the small fish, which does not allow Zhou Yuanqiang to relax at all.

 When he came to the Grand Canyon settlement, Zhou Yuanqiang did not take a good look. At this time, he entered a crowded place, which was a bit like a slum area. Hawkers could be seen everywhere, shouting about business. Many snacks with a strong apocalyptic flavor can be seen everywhere. These snacks do not have meat, almost all of them are noodles. Rapeseed flowers are also planted in the Grand Canyon settlement. After extracting rapeseed oil, the noodles are fried, and the fragrance is still very tempting.

 A palm-sized cornmeal cake, after being fried, is sold for the price of three first-level white crystals, which is not too expensive. Many hunters usually use this kind of cornmeal cake to fill their stomachs. The sorghum soft oil cake made from sorghum crops is even more fragrant. Although five first-level white crystals are a little more expensive, there are still many people who eat it. One soft oil cake is equivalent to a meal of sorghum rice.

 The seemingly run-down settlement, walking through the flow of people like the poor, chewing all kinds of noodle snacks in their hands, is more or less like filming a movie, or the plot in the movie.

 This time, I came out not only to see Tian Ying, but the goods in my hands have been sold out, and it is almost time to return. The people under him had more or less guessed what the goods Zhou Yuanqiang brought were, but Zhou Yuanqiang did not admit it and it was only spread privately. However, it can be predicted that this time it is definitely a bumper harvest, and dividends are definitely inevitable. Because of this, the mercenaries are very excited. They originally thought it was a road to death, who would have thought that there would be not only commissions to be taken, but also extra dividends?

 What needs to be prepared now is to consider what to bring back to the wasteland settlement, and you can't go back empty-handed.

 The specialty of the Grand Canyon settlement is actually mainly grain, with a small amount of other precious crops. Now the grain in the wasteland settlement has a taste of flooding. If you take the grain back, you won't lose money, but the profit will not be very high. And for Zhou Yuanqiang, food can be solved in modern times. Buying from the Grand Canyon settlement in the end of the world is just a waste of crystals in your hands.

 After walking on the simple streets for half a day, almost visiting the entire settlement, there was nothing to gain. This Grand Canyon settlement really had nothing to show for itself except food.

 After walking for half a day, everyone was tired, so they found a big banyan tree to sit down on.

 Zhou Yuanqiang took a water cup, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank a few sips of water. Now Qiu Guorui and his friends are also considered his own people, so Zhou Yuanqiang did not hide his intentions and said, "Brother Qiu, what kind of goods do you think we need to bring on this return trip?"

 All the things in the Grand Canyon settlement have been sold by more than a dozen caravans, and many people in the wasteland settlement know what they have. This is also Zhou Yuanqiang's biggest headache, otherwise he would have bought something from the modern world, and as long as he returned to the wasteland settlement, he could still make huge profits.

 Qiu Guorui and his friends are definitely good at fighting, but they have not been exposed to them, so it is really difficult to give any opinions.

 Just when Zhou Yuanqiang was feeling distressed, an old man came out of the tent beside the banyan tree with a pipe in his pocket, and then walked under the big banyan tree. He carefully took out the tobacco wrapped in a plastic bag from his pocket, pinched a small ball from it, pressed it on the pipe mouth, lit it, leaned against the banyan tree, and smoked slowly.

 Zhou Yuanqiang's eyes suddenly lit up, sat closer to the old man, and asked softly: "This elder, is there also dry tobacco planted in this settlement?"

 After getting a definite answer, Zhou Yuanqiang was immediately ecstatic. Tobacco is indeed planted in the Grand Canyon settlement, but the planting area is very small, about five or six acres. These tobaccos are specially provided for the powerful minds in the settlement. Due to technical reasons, the processing of tobacco is not very perfect. The small amount of tobacco circulating on the market is just wrapped in cigarette paper, but more people smoke it directly with a pipe.

 Five or six acres of land, apart from the ones used by the brains, the amount that flows out to the market is originally small, and everyone cherishes it very much. Those who are addicted to smoking will force themselves to smoke a little after a few days, while those who are less addicted will come over just to smell the tobacco. In this case, the caravans that came before certainly discovered the huge business opportunities of tobacco, but they had no way to buy it.

 But for others, it is impossible to bring back tobacco, but in Zhou Yuanqiang's view, it is a huge gold mine. As long as the Grand Canyon settlement does have this tobacco, he can bring it from the modern world openly and sell it directly in the settlement.

 It can be said that a business opportunity that is more profitable and more stable than perfume suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Yuanqiang.
