Several people walked to counter No. 3, returned the temporary visitor cards, and received light green resident cards.
"Since the mainland does not have your medical records, there is no way to record your health status. It may be difficult to find a job in Guangdong City in the future. It is recommended that you go to the First Hospital for a self-paid physical examination after you have settled in," the staff reminded.
When the staff saw that several people were new residents, they asked if they wanted to apply for a phone card together.
"It costs 100 points to open a phone card. There is also a rental fee of 10 points per month, and 5 points will be deducted for every GB of data used. How many cards do I need to open?" the staff member asked.
"One for each person," said Chen Yuanyuan.
"No, no, no, it's too expensive. I can use it without it." Grandma He was not familiar with the functions of smartphones and didn't want to waste points.
"It's okay. You can earn points again. If you don't consume, there will be no motivation to make money." After Chen Yuanyuan said this, she asked the staff to apply for five phone cards.
"Does the card opening fee need to be deducted from Ms. Chen's card?" the staff asked.
"Okay, how many points do I still have on my card?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"After deducting the 500-point card opening fee, there are still 13,320 points left." The staff member said and handed the phone card to Chen Yuanyuan.
After Chen Yuanyuan and others changed to new phone cards, they all installed the Yue Cheng Tong application under Zhang Xukang's guidance. After logging in, Chen Yuanyuan added Zhang Xukang's friends.
"What don't you understand? Sister, you don't need to send me red envelopes." Zhang Xukang saw Chen Yuanyuan sending him 20 points on his phone.
"Thank you for helping us solve our problems." Chen Yuanyuan smiled.
After seeing that several people had also processed their ID cards and Guangdong Expressway, Zhang Xukang prepared to say goodbye.
"Where are you going next? I'll send you there and then go back to the hotel to work." Zhang Xukang said.
"Our car is still outside the city, let's go get it first. Can we drive inside the base?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
Zhang Xukang explained to Chen Yuanyuan the rules for using cars at the base.
In the base, only the main road leading from the main entrance to other doors can be driven, while electric vehicles and bicycles are required on other sections of the road.
There is no charge for parking your vehicle outside the base, but no one will be guarding it. You have to park at the vehicle storage and rental center.
Parking fees can only be calculated on a daily basis, with 40 points per day. You can also entrust the car to the vehicle management office to rent it out.
"The parking fee is quite expensive. It costs more than a thousand a month." Zhang Linlin complained.
"Yes, because we want to encourage more people to go out to search for supplies. If they all stay in the base, supplies will soon be beyond their means." Zhang Xukang said.
There are more expenses, more taxes, and more people making money.
Although the Guangdong base has many charging systems, the charges are within a reasonable range. After all, for the long-term development of the base, we don’t want a bunch of lazy people.
Zhang Xukang also introduced other means of transportation. The base also distributes shared cars in various places, but the fare generally costs three to five point one kilometer.
Long-term rental or purchase of electric vehicles is more economical, as you only need to pay the charging fee.
"Can you go outside and search for one and bring it back?" Chen Yuanyuan remembered that there were several battery cars stored in the space.
"Yes, but it needs to be inspected. After passing the test, you only need to pay the license fee and you can open it." Zhang Xukang said.
"Hey, although life is stable at the base, points have to be used everywhere. It's too difficult." He Yuehua said.
Zhang Xukang suggested that they first go to the supply center to see if there is anything they want to buy and exchange for points, and then go to the Housing Authority in the office building to solve the housing problem.
Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while and decided to split up, asking Liu Feiyang and Zhang Linlin to pick up the car, while the others went to the material center next to the reception desk.
After everyone added each other as friends, Chen Yuanyuan was about to start a group of five people. Unexpectedly, it would cost ten points to open a group. Although it was equipped with an AI group assistant, it was still a bit shady.
Zhang Xukang said goodbye to the three of them and sent Liu Feiyang and Zhang Linlin to the base gate. Chen Yuanyuan, He Yuehua, and Grandma He followed the sign and passed through a corridor to the material center.
There are many unfamiliar faces in the material center, but maybe because the base has not officially opened yet, two-thirds of the counters are not open.
There was a list of confiscated materials posted on one wall. Chen Yuanyuan took a look at it and found that he had not stocked the wrong goods. In addition to the high value of medicines, the price of second-hand mobile phones was also good.
However, Chen Yuanyuan knew that the value of mobile phones would increase even more when the base was officially opened, so she was not in a hurry to buy it.
The three of them walked to a counter, and Chen Yuanyuan took out ten boxes of antipyretics, ten boxes of enteritisin, and five boxes of loratadine from her backpack.
The clerk at the counter immediately widened his eyes when he saw a pile of medicines, which were the most commonly consumed medicines.
"Miss, do you need to exchange points for all these medicines?" asked the staff of the material center.
"Yeah, we bought a pharmacy before, and there are a lot of medicines in the car." Chen Yuanyuan said, and took out a box of more than a dozen medicines from the space in Zhang Linlin's bag.
Upon seeing this, the employee immediately called the manager over. After all, large quantities could give Chen Yuanyuan a better price, but his authority was difficult to handle.
There are so many common drugs in Chen Yuanyuan's space that a chain pharmacy can be opened. In addition, after the research institute starts operating in the future, some common drugs can also be produced or substitutes can be found.
Therefore, while drug prices are high, some of the first batch of drugs should be sold first.
After the manager came over, he checked the name of the medicine on the tablet, checked the production date and outer packaging of the medicine, and then gave Chen Yuanyuan quotes for various medicines.
One pill costs between 20 and 40 points. If everything on the table is converted into points, the nearly 400 pills will cost about 11,000 points.
"I heard from my colleagues that you still have a lot of medicines on the car. If you can provide more than 3,000 pills, we can give you an additional 10% points." The material center manager said.
"What if we can get tens of thousands of pills? We searched the warehouse of a pharmacy." After Chen Yuanyuan said that, she called He Yuehua and Liu Feiyang to drive the car to a temporary parking space outside the material center.
Chen Yuanyuan did not expect that 40 boxes of medicines would have tens of thousands of points. In the past, when purchasing medicines from pharmaceutical factories, they would buy dozens of boxes of each type. Even if you did not count the medicines purchased in bulk, there would be at least 50,000 boxes of medicines in the space.
"I have to ask about this first." After making a phone call, the manager of the material center said that he could increase their point income by an additional 15%.
Seeing that the price was ideal, Chen Yuanyuan borrowed a trolley from them, then moved about fifty boxes of medicines to the RV and asked them to push them in in batches.
Looking at the carts of drugs, the manager's jaw almost dropped, and he immediately sent extra people to help count them.
The staff's careful movements were like holding fragile jade, and they carefully checked the medicine. This trip will definitely make you rich!
It may take too much space to describe the base setting. I don’t want to spend money and fight to solve things after setting up a base. A perfect system can better pave the way for future plots. Thank you for your understanding.
