Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 30: A ray of hope (Seeking follow-up reading)

At first glance from the outside, this group of caves cannot be seen at all. The entrance to the cave is just a flat limestone rock about 2 to 3 meters high. Standing outside the entrance, it looks like a catfish's mouth, dark and bottomless.

It's like a bottomless abyss, quite creepy.

Fortunately, Ren Zhong is no longer an ordinary person. He has spent several nights in various caves in the wild.

Ren Zhong bravely walked into the cave entrance. His eyes suddenly darkened. When his eyes adjusted to the environment in the cave, Ren Zhong saw that it was full of strange-shaped stalactites. Some looked like monkeys and tigers, and some were like pillars connecting the sky and the earth in the cave, making the whole cave look uneven.

Hiss, could this be the presence of some great immortal? Can one become an immortal just by drinking a sip of the clear spring flowing under the stalactites?
Some strange thoughts flashed through Ren Zhong's mind, and he walked inside involuntarily. After about ten meters, the height of the cave suddenly became higher, as if a big belly had appeared, and a new world was created inside. The height of the cave rose to about ten meters, and the width of the cave also became more than ten meters.

On one side of the cave was a flat, damp gravel ground, and on the other side was a shallow underground river about one meter wide. As less and less light came in from outside, the cave became increasingly dark. Ren Zhong walked cautiously inside for five or six hundred steps before the cave began to narrow, becoming a dark gap more than one person wide. The underground river also began to deepen, and the bottom could no longer be seen.

Ren Zhong could hardly see anything, so he had to stop here. He roughly estimated that the length of the cave he had walked through was about 300 meters, and considering the width of about 10 meters on both sides, the area was estimated to be about 3000 square meters.

What a great place! When Ren Zhong saw this, an idea suddenly occurred to him: this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as one squad uses two or three heavy machine guns to block the entrance of the cave, even thousands of troops outside cannot get in!
It is impossible to deploy troops in this place. In addition, the cave is very deep and cannot be destroyed by bombs dropped from the sky. There is also an underground river inside and there is no shortage of water. After storing food inside, a small number of troops can hold the position.

Therefore, transforming this place into an arsenal seems to be a good choice.

As for the fact that if these strange stalactites are destroyed, there may be one less natural tourist attraction here in the future, we can no longer take that into account.

Now that even lives are not guaranteed, how can we care about leaving behind places for future generations to enjoy? This heavy cost has not been considered at all.

Ren Zhong never expected that he would have an unexpected gain during this trip and found a Feng Shui treasure land for the future arsenal!
Retreating to the cave entrance outside, Ren Zhong found a dry place, and then went to find a pile of hay, planning to stay there for two days before returning.

After returning to the main plane, Ren Zhong drove to the suburbs and found the Huangshui Recycling Resources Market by following the map.

Professional recycling of scrap copper!

Large quantities of various stainless steel are recycled!
Lingfei professional metal recycling!

Confluence scrap metal recycling!

Sure enough, this is where metals are concentrated.

Seeing this, Ren Zhong found an empty space and parked the car.

Then he walked into a store that said "Scrap Copper Recycling" and asked, "Boss, how much do you sell the scrap copper for?"

"Scraps of brass are 40 yuan per kilogram, and red copper is 56 yuan per kilogram! Boss, how many kilograms do you have? Large quantities will be better." The young man guarding the shop took a look at Ren Zhong and thought he was here to sell scrap copper, so he casually quoted a common market price. "Boss, I'm here to buy copper plates. What's the current price of copper plates made of recycled copper?" Ren Zhong saw that the boss had misunderstood and corrected him with a smile.

"Oh, boss, how much do you want? If it's by ton, I'll give you a preferential price of 5 per ton for brass plates, and 5 per ton for copper plates." The young man's eyes lit up and he began to show some interest.

"Boss, the price difference is quite large. Brass is only purchased at 4 per ton, but sold for 5. Can you make it cheaper? If so, I'll take 5 or 2 tons." Ren Zhong saw that the price of copper here was much cheaper than the copper ingots he had bought before. The most important thing is that the copper here is recycled and sold, and they basically won't ask you how to use it no matter how many tons you buy.

The last time I bought brass ingots, the price was 7 per ton.

Thinking of this, Ren Zhong couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but the price quoted by the boss must be a lot of water, and he still needed to talk more. It was really hard to do this cross-dimensional business, and the money he earned was hard-earned money.

"Boss, if you really want it, I can give you a discount of 5 for the brass plate. I can't give you a lower price. You see, this is a store and a processing shop, so there is really not much profit margin. Now I just want to make friends with you." The young man stood up and took out the nephrite. "Boss, come, have a cigarette and let's go into the store and talk slowly."

Although the shop owner is young, he knows how to deal with social situations quite well.

When he saw that it was a potential customer, his attitude immediately became much friendlier.

"Thank you, I didn't smoke. Boss, how about this, you give me the best price, if it's suitable, I can buy about one ton of copper coins every month. This is a long-term deal, let's both give in a little and strive for a win-win situation." Ren Zhong said.

"Then how much do you want to give me, boss? I'll see if I can break even and give it to you." The young man put the cigarette back into the cigarette box and said.

"5. I'll buy one ton every month, and it'll be at least two years. If it works out, we'll settle on it, and I won't go to other stores." Ren Zhong walked into the store, sat next to the boss and bargained.

The price is RMB 4 per ton, and after manual melting processing, a 25% gross profit margin is left. For this kind of metal trading, Ren Zhong feels that it is about right.

"Boss, please add a little more. With this price, I can't even cover my costs. Look at my shop, labor and transportation, everything costs money. You really can't find such a preferential price of 5 even if you search all over the market?" The young boss shook his head like a rattle.

"Just 5. If that doesn't work, I'll look elsewhere." Ren Zhong was firm in his pricing.

In fact, according to his purchase quantity, the total price difference is only tens of thousands of yuan. For Ren Zhong today, this amount of money is indeed not much.

"5. It can't be less. I don't want any profit anymore. I just want to make friends and recover some money." Perhaps Ren Zhong's firm attitude shook the other party a little, and the young boss gritted his teeth and lowered the price again.

"I'll take another look." Ren Zhong stood up and was about to leave. The young boss saw Ren Zhong stand up and walk out the door, really preparing to go to another store, his face changed again and again, and finally shouted when Ren Zhong was about to walk to the second store.

"Boss, come back, I'll sell it to you at a loss!" After all, it's a million-dollar business. It's already the end of the lunar year, and the young boss wants to recover some funds even if the profit is thin so that he can celebrate the New Year.
