Chapter 238: The Businessman

Zhang Meng was a businessman.

He was before, and he still was even after the end of the world had come.

It was on his advice that Li Wanhao decided to open up to the outside world.

And so, a market area was established specifically for foreign trade.

Initially, Wanhao District imposed very strict controls on the survivors that passed through the settlement.

The reason was simple.

Supplies.

The more people there were, the more supplies were consumed.

Even though Li Wanhao had led people to occupy Market Street and gathered a large amount of supplies from the various shops there.

No matter how abundant, supplies eventually were non-renewable.

An additional person meant an extra mouth to feed.

And one more share of consumption.

Most of his subordinates shared the same opinion.

With so many supplies, as long as they could hold onto the Market Street territory, the hundred or so people under them wouldn't starve.
