Hearing Chen Weilin’s words, Bai Yingxia smiled and nodded. "I trust you. So, I want to order 20,000 tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, camping pillows, and blankets. Also, 5,000 backpacks for each size your store has."
"Besides that, I want 1,000 sets of multi-tools, 1,000 pairs of women’s and men’s footwear in all sizes, and 10,000 sets of women’s and men’s clothing in sizes M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL."
When Chen Weilin heard this, he didn’t think it was too much. On the contrary, he thought that the amount of goods she ordered was only average.
He nodded and typed on his computer. When he was done, he showed the screen to her and said, "Miss Bai, this is the wholesale price for the goods you want. The total is 37,893,000 yuan."
"I can give you a discount. You only need to pay 35,000,000 yuan. Do you want to pay in cash or in installments?"
Bai Yingxia thought for a moment and said, "I want to pay in installments."
Chen Weilin nodded and said, "You need to pay a 10% deposit and pay the rest in 6 months."
"Okay."
Bai Yingxia paid 3,500,000 yuan and signed the contract. The first installment would be paid at the end of next month.
After she settled the order, she went to check out other stores. Although they offered her a wholesale price, it was still higher than the price given by Xingxing Hypermart’s suppliers.
When she walked back to the parking lot, she suddenly saw a small store selling cold weapons. When she entered the store, there was only an old man sitting behind the counter.
Seeing her, the old man waved his hand and said, "Just browse by yourself. The price is printed on the tag."
Hearing this, Bai Yingxia nodded and looked at the display. The designs of the cold weapons were varied. Some looked beautiful, but the accessories were unfit for the apocalypse. They were too cumbersome.
Her attention was pulled to those with simple designs. Besides the patterns engraved on the scabbards, there were no other accessories. They didn’t even have any sword tassels.
She picked up a tang sword and unsheathed it. She thought that these swords were made as ornaments and had dull edges. Unexpectedly, the blade was clearly polished and sharpened.
The tang sword had a straight, single-edged blade. It was built using advanced differential tempering and pattern-welded steel techniques, making it incredibly tough and resistant to breaking.
She swung the sword and almost lost her grip. Just one swing, and she felt soreness in her arm.
"This body is too weak. I need to train it before the apocalypse," she thought inwardly.
She put the tang sword back on the display cabinet and picked another sword. This type of sword was most used in Xianxia or Wuxia genre dramas. Historically, it was also known as the gentleman of weapons.
It was a one-handed weapon. The double-edged blade was balanced for thrusting and quick defensive parrying. She unsheathed the sword and was captivated by its elegant shape.
This time, she didn’t try to swing it and put it back. She then checked another weapon, a saber.
Compared to the tang sword and the longsword, this saber was a single-edged, curved sword primarily utilized for slicing and cutting.
Although it was a one-handed weapon, it was heavier compared to the previous weapons. It was not suitable for her.
She checked the weapons one by one and decided to buy several tang swords and longswords. She picked the weapons and placed them on the counter.
When she was ready to pay, she suddenly saw the crossbows and bows placed in the cabinet behind the counter. Pointing at those weapons, she asked, "Uncle, are those weapons for sale?"
The old man turned to look at her and said, "Those are modern designs. Compound and recurve. They’re not suitable for ancient martial arts."
Bai Yingxia nodded and smiled. "Can I take a look?"
The old man nodded and showed several types to her. He didn’t say anything and continued watching the TV.
Bai Yingxia tried to pull the bows and realized that, for her current condition, a compound bow would be better. But in the future, a recurve bow might be more suitable since she would need a professional to change the compound bow’s string.
As for the crossbows, both were suitable for her. But to change the compound crossbow’s string, she might need to buy a machine.
After she considered the pros and cons, she said, "Uncle, I want 100 pieces of each type of bow and crossbow. Also, give me 100,000 arrows suitable for big-game hunting."
Hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Little girl, why are you buying so many weapons?"
"I’m opening several archery clubs. So, I have been looking for good bows and crossbows in the past months," Bai Yingxia replied.
The old man didn’t ask any more questions when he heard this. He pointed at the cold weapons and asked, "What about these? Do you still want them?"
Bai Yingxia nodded and said, "I want 10 pieces of each type of weapon you have in your store. But these swords, I will take them with me today. As for the rest, can you deliver them to my warehouse?"
"I can prepare the goods, but you need to pay in full. And there is no discount."
Hearing this, Bai Yingxia agreed without hesitation. "No problem. Uncle, you can calculate the price first."
The old man gave her another glance and started calculating the price. When he was done, he said, "A total of 28,900,000 yuan. Do you want to transfer it or scan the QR code?"
Bai Yingxia scanned the QR code and paid. Then, she showed the transaction record to him and said, "Uncle, it’s paid."
The old man took out his phone and checked. Seeing that the money had been transferred, he nodded and said, "The goods will be delivered in five days."
"Okay."
