When other people were out looking for useful information, Dong Jianping also wandered around.
I don't know, but at a glance, I really found things about the Star Group, these things are not reflected in the materials.
Only when you experience it yourself can you experience it.
Dong Jianping wandered to the square in the small town. There were many stalls on the square, which was similar to the so-called food court before.
It is planned neatly, and each stall owner has one or several tents as a business place.
This is indeed a well-known commercial street in the small town, where people are crowded with shouts and chants everywhere.
Dong Jianping found that the goods sold here are very rich.
Both food and tools can be found here.
In terms of food, it is also very diverse.
There are foods such as flour, rice, vegetables, and fruits.
Even Dong Jianping discovered meat.
You know, because animals are also infected by zombie viruses, it is already difficult to find edible meat.
Even if it is found, it is the food that has been stored and passed down before.
When Dong Jianping saw these foods, his first thought was that the national reserve was breached.
But he quickly shook his head secretly. This is impossible. If the Star Group finds the national reserve by itself, it is impossible to take out the materials in the reserve so generously and sell it.
Everyone knows that in the days to come, food will become more and more scarce, but the price will become more and more expensive.
Under this trend, no one will take out precious food to sell.
But if the food in these people's hands is not taken from the national reserve, where does it come from?
Suddenly, Dong Jianping thought of a possibility that the other party did not sell food. As long as the amount of food sold was well controlled, it would not have much impact. Instead, it would be able to control these survivors to use it for themselves.
In fact, Dong Jianping’s guess is very close to the fact that a large part of the food in the hands of these people is indeed purchased from the Star Group, but these foods are not materials in the national reserve, but from another world.
Dong Jianping put away his thoughts, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a fragrance came to his face.
This is the smell of barbecue.
Dong Jianping took a sharp sip, showing a kind of intoxication on his face.
Even if he is the leader, he hasn't eaten barbecue for a long time.
Guru!
At this moment, his stomach rang untimely.
Dong Jianping touched his stomach and walked straight to the barbecue booth.
Although the barbecue smells fragrant, there are not too many people in front of the stall.
The reason for the lack of people is not that his barbecue is not good, but because the price is too expensive.
A string of three or four pieces of lamb is worth 5 points or 10 grams of energy spar.
Seeing Dong Jianping coming, the boss greeted him quickly: "Brother, why don't you come and taste our barbecue, it's sweet and delicious, I'm sure you will have an endless aftertaste."
Dong Jianping picked up a string of mutton skewers. The mutton on it was plump, golden and golden after being grilled. With the addition of seasonings, it had a scent that made people appetite.
"How do you sell this lamb skewers?"
"A string of 5 points contribution value, or 10 grams of energy spar, is definitely very cost-effective." The boss immediately gave an offer.
In fact, there is no need to quote, because the price is already marked on the side.
Dong Jianping asked curiously: "Boss, I'm sorry, I want to ask, what does this contribution value mean? Where can I get the contribution value?"
"Brother, isn't it? What era is this? You still don't know the contribution value? The contribution value is the electronic currency issued by the Star Group. As long as you register as a member of the Star Group, you can use the contribution value. Brother, where are you from? Yes? Even if the Sioux City settlement is here, you don't know the contribution value, right?"
The boss looked at Dong Jianping in shock, but seeing what Dong Jianping really didn't know, he explained very kindly.
There are very few survivors like Dong Jianping who don't know the contribution value.
Contribution value, as the electronic currency issued by the Star Group, was initially only used within the Star Group.
Later, after the establishment of the Survivor Town, in order to facilitate transactions between everyone, they all chose the guaranteed contribution value issued by the Star Group as an intermediary.
Later, after Xingchen Group discovered this matter, it took the initiative to assume this responsibility.
In fact, for the Star Group, this matter has only advantages, not disadvantages.
Recently, after the Star Group recovered the Sioux City settlement, the contribution value has become the default currency of everyone.
Of course, in addition to the electronic currency of contribution value, energy spar is still hard currency.
In addition to the energy spar, there is also gold that can barely become hard currency.
Dong Jianping didn't know this, but from the boss's explanation, he probably understood some things.
Then he took out an energy spar from his pocket and handed it to the boss.
"You weigh it for me and you bought them all."
The boss smiled and took the energy spar, took out an electronic scale from the corner, weighed it, and showed 58.5 grams.
"This brother, a total of 58.5 grams, count you 60 grams, let me give you six kebabs, if you don’t like kebabs, you can also choose other kebabs.
In addition to lamb skewers, there are beef skewers, chicken skewers, you can choose by yourself. "
The boss wiped off the remaining 1.5 grams very generously.
This is the defect of using energy spar as currency.
The weight of the energy spar is different. Sometimes when you want to buy a product, you can only get as close as possible to a certain value, and it is difficult to achieve complete consistency.
The energy spar is a difficult-to-cut material, even if it is accurate to an integer number of grams, it is quite troublesome.
So when the contribution value appeared, everyone at UU Read quickly accepted this electronic currency.
After all, people who used electronic money before, suddenly let them return to the most primitive bartering. This kind of transaction mode can be uncomfortable.
It is not that there has been electronic currency before, but without strong strength and abundant materials as a backing, who would recognize the electronic currency issued by them?
The electronic currency issued by the powerful organization of the Star Group was accepted by everyone at once.
"Give me two strings each." Dong Jianping put the remaining energy spar into his pocket.
"Okay, brother, please take your skewers."
The boss filled the meat skewers with a look of excitement and handed it to Dong Jianping.
With Dong Jianping’s single business, the boss made nearly half of his profits. Can you be unhappy?
Dong Jianping ate the barbecue in his hand and wandered the streets.
He found that, except for himself, almost everyone chose to pay by contribution value.
