Soon after, several people walked out of the tavern, and Wei Ling led them towards the hotel where Xiao Duhuo had stayed for a long time.
Soon, they arrived at the hotel.
It is not accurate to say that this courtyard is a hotel. In fact, it is a small courtyard like a country villa.
As soon as Wei Ling arrived at the place, he felt that Xiao Duhuo really knew how to choose a place.
There are two small buildings in the yard, with an L-shaped layout. One is a three-story building, which is dedicated to guest rooms. The other is smaller, with only two floors, and looks older. It is where the hotel owner and his family live. place.
Both houses are made of stone, and the exterior walls are painted in green and white irregular color blocks, which look very refreshing. The floor slabs are directly paved with thick square logs, and the logs on the ground are just simple ones. Planed and lightly brushed with wood oil.
In areas that have been moved around for a long time, the wood oil has been worn away, revealing some dirty wood grain. This cannot be cleaned.
The fat middle-aged landlady is very kind, and her smile is so friendly that it can be called a bit flattering:
“Ah, distinguished guests from the empire, are you Xiao’s friends?
Great, Xiao was very satisfied with my hotel at that time. He has lived here for a long time. He has always praised my potato stew and tomato soup..."
It is estimated that there are very few guests in the hotel. It is rare for such a customer to come to the door. The landlady even started to nag:
"Gentlemen and ladies, there are exactly five rooms on the third floor. They are all the best and neatest. You can rent them for a long time, one room for each of you."
Wei Ling smiled and nodded frequently, and finally handed the proprietress a small crystal bottle:
"Very good, look, how long can I live at this price?"
The landlady took the vial, exclaimed exaggeratedly, and then patted the white fat on her chest a few times with her fat hands:
"Ah, you are indeed a generous imperial guest. This reward is enough for you to live here peacefully for two weeks, including your breakfast, simple lunch and cleaning of your clothes!"
Several people were used to the power of the small crystal bottle of Welling.
Only the financial manager of the team, Shou Gong, was thinking about it. The funds for handling cases in Yaxi were not easy to use in the Federation. It seemed that they had to be converted into G205 for the young master. We couldn’t let the young master always provide his own funds to handle cases.
After choosing a room at random and leaving behind his simple luggage and clothes, Welling arranged tasks for several people that had not been discussed in advance:
"Okay, now that we have a place to live, we have other things to do while it's still early in the day and it's early before the nightclub that Shibaro is looking forward to."
The guard burst into laughter.
"When will I be looking forward to the nightclub..."
Li Lingyou felt a little aggrieved.
"On the street just now, I discovered that although the health condition of the citizens here is very bad, there are too many people suffering from various diseases and abnormal growths on their bodies. Moreover, the smell of flour and soot comes from their bodies. , earthy smell, milk smell...it’s enough to show that their hygiene habits are not good, but!”
Xie Wuyi paused:
"However, I found that among the citizens here, there are really many beauties. Although they are walking in masks, their postures are graceful, and every pair of eyes exposed by the masks are very beautiful!"
Yang Xiaohe suddenly felt a headache.
When Wei Ling saw that the topic was about to go off track, he braked immediately:
"Yeah, Wu Yi is right. Although she is very beautiful, she can't do it without paying attention to personal hygiene. Therefore, Shiba Lang should pay attention to avoiding her.
By the way, next we divide into two groups and do two things respectively. "
Several people immediately focused on Welling's information.
Xie Wuyi was a little confused, did I mean this? I always felt that something was wrong.
"The first group, Shou Gong and I, went to find the largest wholesale market of grain, oil, food and salt here, and find out the largest buyers besides hotels, restaurants and middlemen.
These buyers may be remnant tribes purchasing necessary food together. "
The four people's eyes lit up. Yes, Wei Ling was smart and he suddenly thought of this method.
A tribe of a certain size may grow its own food, but it may not press its own oil and dry salt. It will definitely purchase it from nearby big cities.
"Shibalang, Wuyi and Brother Yang, the three of you are going to find the largest pharmaceutical wholesalers, as well as major customers excluding pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics, to obtain relevant information, and the grain, oil, and Comparative data on salt.
Tomorrow we will go to the black market again to find information on purchasing weapons and ammunition. By comparing several data, we can eliminate most of the unpowerful remnant tribes and lock in the information we need. "
Li Lingyou, Yang Xiaohe and Xie Wuyi looked at each other, and then all three of them gave Wei Ling a thumbs up:
“How do you know where the biggest wholesalers are?”
Wei Ling smiled and turned to the fat proprietress who was directing the skinny boss and only servant in the yard downstairs:
"Isn't there anyone ready to consult?"
After a while, under the introduction of the chatty proprietress, several people easily figured out the storage locations of the largest related wholesalers in Kerala.
When you go out, you have to split up. Li Lingyou thinks it shouldn’t be too simple:
"Brother Welling, how can we obtain the necessary data from the wholesaler of medical supplies? Maybe they will think it is a trade secret and may not tell us."
Yang Xiaohe and Xie Wuyi also nodded together, feeling that they had not thought of a solution yet.
Wei Ling shook his head and pointed at his head:
"This is indeed a trade secret. I can't help it. Just think about it as you go."
The three people were stunned as they watched Wei Ling and Shou Gong walk towards the grain and oil market.
Yang Xiaohe leisurely threw out the message:
"Welling means there is a legendary thing called brain."
Li Lingyou rolled his eyes:
"Tch, you speak so smoothly, as if you have it."
Xie Wuyi waved his hand grandly:
"Stop arguing and think about it. The worst case scenario is that you'll have to use force or torture to extract a confession!"
The two were stunned again, looking at the simple and casual Xie Wuyi, and then they were speechless.
Sister, this is the state of Kerala, okay? This is not the empire, and there is no imperial army. Our current identity is the Nuggets, not the imperial warlocks, nor the special incident investigation team of Yasi County.
From some perspectives, the social status of the Nuggets may not be as good as that of the gangs.
After all, gangsters have fixed areas of interest and basic base, and they can still find their lair when trouble occurs.
This is not necessarily the case for the Nuggets. For example, if Xiao lives alone, he will disappear after committing a crime, and the federation will not be able to find him.
Wei Ling and Shou Gong didn't know that the three of them were racking their brains to think of ways as they walked, and walked straight towards the target area.
His and Shou Gong's sense of direction and distance were amazingly accurate. Less than three kilometers away, they found the market described by the fat proprietress.
This is a place with a lot of professional grain and oil wholesalers.
How to tell who is the biggest?
Wei Ling casually walked into a large-looking company. Under the expectant eyes of the clerk, he threw out the message with disdain:
"I have a small business, but is your company too small?"
The clerk immediately became anxious:
"Sir, we are among the top three professional companies in Kerala! How small is our scale? Our warehouse is underground outside the city and has the best storage facilities.
By the way, how big is your business? "
The clerk looked at the uniform uniforms of Wei Ling and Shou Gong with some confusion, feeling that the visitor was a member of a certain team.
According to his experience, it is possible for such a team to purchase grain and oil with a decent business volume in one go. Although they may not necessarily be long-term stable customers, the profits of such scattered large-scale customers will be higher, and their own commissions will not be high. few.
"Then tell me, which two companies are slightly stronger than yours?"
The clerk named the other two companies without hesitation, and then added disdainfully:
"Those two always do things like cheating customers. They have no motivation to develop upwards and have hit the ceiling of the local industry. They are not as dynamic as our company!"
Welling looked like he was thinking:
"Well, that makes sense, you are very good, and your opinion convinced me.
With a team of less than 500 people, the demand for grain and oil for field operations in a month is not large. However, the company requires suppliers to provide preliminary information. I first came to find out which professional company can supply the goods, as well as some preliminary processing preparations. . "
Welling responded calmly.
The clerk nodded slightly. This was very much in line with his prediction. It was indeed a one-time deal. It was not too big or too small, so he had to fight for it no matter what:
“Sir, please rest assured that our company is professional and reliable.
In the past, our company was among the series suppliers of the Changhe Army in this country.
We have even more advantages in processing food supplies for field operations. In terms of specific varieties, we are even on par with the number one company in the state. "
Wei Ling nodded slightly, seemed a little moved, and casually asked about the prices of several ready-to-eat foods.
In fact, the names, packaging specifications and prices of these foods are all on the wall of this wholesale company. When Welling came in, he had already memorized them.
The clerk immediately gave the standard prices. Not surprisingly, these prices were the ones posted on the wall.
"It's so expensive. Are there any discounts for bulk purchases?"
The clerk was a little embarrassed:
"Sir, if we sign an agreement right away and you pay a deposit, the price will go down by a few percentage points."
Welling shook his head:
"How do you prove that you didn't lie to me? With your strength and the price, did you deliberately quote a higher price because it was my first visit?"
The clerk was startled and felt that Welling's opinion made sense, but how could he prove that what he said was true?
For a moment, the clerk on duty was a little confused, and all he could think about was how to prove it.
He was actually affected by Wei Ling's secret emotional implant at this moment.
"This is not simple yet. Let me see some information about your recent bulk purchases. I can compare the prices to see if they are what you said. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Welling added lightly and glanced at the desk separated by frosted glass in the office area of the store. There was a smart device similar to an old-era computer.
"Yes, yes, sir, you are right. I didn't think of such a simple thing."
The clerk felt a little ashamed and immediately led the two of them to his desk, opened the corresponding supply, sales and inventory system, pointed out the data, and explained it to them.
The gecko lowered his head very carefully and stared at the screen. A large strand of hair hung down from the veil and rested on the device.
The clerk really didn't lie. Various data proved that he was an honest and reliable clerk.
"Very good, you are very honest. I have remembered your company's name and quotation. If there are no accidents, the results will be available in a few days.
Again, you are a competent and reliable employee, and I am proud that your boss has you as a staff member. "
The clerk's face was flushed, feeling even happier than having completed this business, and reluctantly watched the two of them leave.
