Hardy Empire 1945

Originally, there were a lot of materials in the Nevada warehouse, and Colonel Beach asked the logistics department to transport them from various warehouses.

Don't doubt the ability of the logistics department. They have a lot of energy in operation, and they could support the operation of tens of millions of troops at the beginning.

A week passed quickly.

Today is the first day of the 'Post-War Material Sales Expo'. Many people drove in. By noon, there were nearly 1,000 people here.

People don't seem to have as many times as selling jeeps, but now the people who come here are not private buyers, not just one car, but merchants.

At the same time, Colonel Beach's sales team is also ready.

People waited for the door to open, stood chatting under the car, looked at the barren desert around them, and someone said, How could you choose a place as remote as Nevada, if it were on the east coast.

Why set the expo location in Nevada?

Because it is the closest to Las Vegas, people who come must first take a plane to Las Vegas and then drive here.

These businessmen are generally relatively wealthy. Since they came to Las Vegas, how could they not go to the casino.

Since going to the casino must go to the most luxurious and lively Hardy Hotel, the business of Hardy Casino in the past two days has been much better than usual.

Hardy counted everything he could.

No speeches and no openings.

When the door opened, the event started. People flocked into this huge warehouse, looking for materials they were interested in. The lights in the warehouse were bright, and two rows of lights were specially added for this event.

Items were on the shelves, each with a label and price, surrounded by Colonel Beach's salespeople, who could be asked at any time if they wanted to know what.

Most of the businessmen who come here have their own areas of expertise. Some of them are specifically looking at weapons, so they don't go to the equipment area, and some are specifically looking at equipment, so they don't look at weapons.

Two businessmen looking through military uniforms.

Wool blanket, this one is not bad, but the color is a bit ugly, but at a price of $3.50, someone should be willing to buy it. After all, a real wool blanket costs $12. A humane said.

The man next to him thought about it.

In fact, it doesn't matter. We can get a quilt cover. If you put the blanket in it, you won't be able to see the original color. The quilt cover is not expensive.

Yes, that's the truth. We want a batch of wool blankets. He wrote down the number in his notebook.

Someone is looking through clothes.

Navy winter sweater, winter singlet, socks, military boots, scarf, leather gloves, field shoes, military trousers.

They pondered how these should be sold back.

Cheap is cheap, but the color is green. If it is not a soldier, no one wants to wear it. A guy suddenly said: We can buy some of them, contact the factory, and use them as labor uniforms for workers.

This idea is good, let's try it out in a batch. Companion echoed.

Someone was looking at Air Force leather jackets, and I have to say that these jackets are really beautiful, and someone ordered a batch to take back and try it out.

The firearms area is the most lively. Half of the merchants who come here are for these weapons. In the United States, weapons are not out of date at any time. Some people still like old weapons, and many people collect them. , As long as these merchants take it back and sort it out a little, they can sell it for a good price.

Backhand earning several times is not a problem.

Revolvers, rifles, carbines, submachine guns, automatic pistols, machine guns, and more than one variety.

There are even captured Japanese weapons and German weapons in it, which is very messy, but these people like it very much.

Various cars are also popular.

Jeeps are sold out, but there are plenty of other vehicles, armored combat vehicles, tractors, trailers, and more.

Someone asked the salesperson next to him, Why is there no truck?

The trucks are all sold out, said the salesman.

Trucks are widely used and are the most practical things. Hardy took all the trucks early and got them at the lowest price.

Where there is a lively place, there is a deserted place, and there is an area where tents, mosquito nets,

A lot of people walked over to kayaking, and a few people stopped, and the salesperson immediately stepped forward to sell it enthusiastically.

Does this gentleman want tents and mosquito nets? The kayaks are very good, especially suitable for family outings. The family is camping by the river. These equipments are very suitable.

The businessman shook his head: It is estimated that very few people are willing to live outside and feed mosquitoes.

Field prospecting, scientific investigation, animal observation, etc. can also be used. The salesman continued.

That's not a lot of sales.

It's okay, we don't limit the number here, we can order dozens of sets and hundreds of sets. The salesman said with a smile.

Other salesmen are also pushing hard.

The explosives produced by DuPont Dynamite are of very good quality and can be used to mine crushed stone. We have tens of thousands of tons as much as you want.

Fighter sale. A Mustang fighter is only $6,200, a p47 Thunderbolt is $8,800, and an f4f Wildcat is just over $4,000. If you buy it back and get a flying club, you can definitely make a lot of money.

Gas masks are completely available in special factories.

Steel helmets can be used as safety helmets on construction sites.

Typewriters, ice cream machines, and ovens can be used at home or in a bar or grocery store. They can be used for a variety of purposes.

Anyone want a first aid kit? First aid kits are cheap.

Canned luncheon meat, canned beef, canned fish, all kinds of canned...

Some merchants choose products, place an order and sign a contract with a sales company.

As for shipping, Hardy does not include postage.

You can go to a nearby warehouse to pick up the goods yourself, or you can ask the sales company to deliver it for you. Of course, the logistics fee is calculated, and the army will drive it directly to your home.

In the evening, Colonel Beach was excited to report to Hardy with a summary of the sales.

Mr. Hardy, the sales data is out. Today, the chief engineer sold 23.5 million US dollars of goods. I haven't sold as much today as I have in the past six months. .

Hardy was less excited than Colonel Beach.

According to the data, the most sought-after items are guns and bullets, which account for half of the total sales. Guns are not banned in the United States. Guns are a necessity for the public and are easy to store. There are countless gun stores in the whole rice area, so there is a lack of sales data. Surprising.

The remaining half of the categories are very complex, including almost everything, but the number is not large, thousands of pieces, and even only dozens of sets.

Hardy shook his head helplessly.

Mr. Hardy, you don't seem to be very satisfied with today's sales? Colonel Beach asked cautiously.

Beach, you have done a good job. Today, you can sell more than 20 million US dollars. I am naturally happy, but you have not thought about it. The things we need to deal with are worth more than 3 billion US dollars according to the lowest price given by the military. , even if it sells 20 million this time, how long will it take to sell.

You have to know that today is the first day, the number of orders must be the largest, and there will not be so many people tomorrow, and people choose the best sellers, and those who are difficult to sell are all kept, and the number of customers will be more and more in the future. The less you come, the more sales will plummet.”

I'm thinking about what to do with the remaining billions of supplies?

Beach's excitement just now disappeared. It was true. Today, what people liked and wanted were taken away, and there were fewer and fewer people left who were willing to ask for it.

Hardy picked up the order and looked closely.

One thing he discovered was that the sales of those cans were much lower than he expected. He thought they could sell millions, but they only sold hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Oh shit,

He only charged 4 cents for a can of canned luncheon meat, 8 cents for a can of canned beef, and a few cents for other cans, but at this price, no one wanted it.

no way,

Americans are living too luxuriously now, they like to eat fresh, and they don't want bread overnight, let alone these foods that have been separated for a few years.

The merchants were afraid that they would not be able to sell it, so very few people wanted it.

As for those field meal kits, no one buys them anymore. They are complete sets. When merchants buy them back, they need to unpack and sort the items. It’s too troublesome, so those field meal kits only sold for more than 2,000 in total. set.

However, Hardy has two items that are selling more than he expected: medical kits and medical equipment.

100,000 medical kits were sold, which is not a small number.

Medical equipment including glass syringes, infusion tubes, infusion bottles, lancets, surgical scalpels, arterial clips, hemostatic forceps, sutures, sterilized cotton, and measuring sticks are also sold in large quantities.

And these things are bought by the same company.

This made Hardy wonder a little bit, who would buy so many medical equipment at once, is it related to Asia.

Indeed, as Hardy had expected, the number of merchants who came the next day plummeted to only three or four hundred, and the sales staff provided almost one-to-one service.

Today, more than 4 million materials were sold in total, and even less on the third day.

Although Hardy was not satisfied with the result, Major General Williams was very happy. In just one month, he had sold more than 30 million materials. He was very satisfied and even called Hardy to congratulate him. .

After hanging up the phone, Hardy thought about it and said to Beachy: Although some materials can still be sold every day, I think it's still too slow. I plan to explore overseas markets.

Overseas market, where?

Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Asia, Hardy said.

Hardy had just returned to Los Angeles when he suddenly received a call from Bill, Boss, we found something in San Francisco.

what's the situation?

Don't we have a smuggling channel? My subordinates recently discovered that a large number of military supplies were being transported on board. I sent someone to investigate secretly. Those things included a large number of firearms, some medical supplies, and a large number of medical kits.

Hardy suddenly thought that someone had bought a lot of medical kits from him a few days ago.

Do you know whose goods it is?

It's the goods of the Tang People's Gang.
