Chapter 621 Natural Disaster Doomsday 34
It is fortunate that synthetic starch allows the people to have something to eat. Otherwise, even if the earthquake stops, people will still not be able to survive without food.
Speaking of which, the earthquake did not cause much damage to the synthetic starch factory, because when the state arranged the synthetic starch factory before, it was arranged in a city that was not the center of the earthquake, and it was in an open area, and the house was one-story. They were built with many floors, so after the earthquake, these factories didn't have much trouble and managed to survive.
Because those factories are in good condition, the supply of supplies will naturally be normal. Otherwise, ordinary people would have nothing to eat at this time, and something would have happened long ago.
Of course, after a few months of normal life, I eat more. After all, some vegetables and grains with short maturity cycles are mature and ready to eat, which makes the choices on the market more exciting. Naturally there were more.
It’s just that we don’t have much money on hand.
The past few years have been very difficult for everyone. Some people used all their money to buy a house. After the apocalypse, they had no money to use and had to sell the house.
There are more than one or two people who think this way, which has caused the price of houses on the market to drop to freezing point, making them extremely cheap.
In the beginning, when the weather recovered, house prices would rise. But now, even after a few months of calm, house prices have not risen. I am just afraid of another terrible disaster. The house was bought in vain and the money was wasted. So even if you want to sell your house and make some money to spend, it is not cost-effective because the house price has dropped to an extremely low level. Except for people who really don’t have any money on hand and need money to buy supplies, they will sell their houses. Most people are reluctant to sell. After all, when they bought it, they paid so much money, and now they only sell it for so little money. No one is willing to accept it. , so naturally he is reluctant to sell it. Anyway, he can only sell it for a small amount of money, so it is better not to sell it and keep it on hand to see if it can increase some day.
Those who keep the house are not wrong. After all, if the apocalypse is over, the house prices will definitely rise, and they will not be as low as they are now.
But if we keep it, we may suffer heavier losses. For example, in this earthquake, many houses in the epicenter collapsed. If these houses collapsed, the state may provide some subsidies, but they will not help completely rebuild them. In this way, Wouldn't it be a heavier loss? After all, if it had been sold before the earthquake, it would have cost more than this little money.
So after the earthquake, some people wanted to sell some of the houses that had not collapsed. They were afraid that a new crisis would come and the unsold houses would be wasted. At least they could recover some money after selling them.
But others are not stupid. Seeing that the earthquake collapsed so many buildings, everyone is afraid that something will happen next. Who dares to buy? Isn’t it nice to have money on hand to buy supplies?
So even if someone wants to sell their house, it will be difficult to do so.
Of course, the people in country Z have no money, and the same goes for people abroad, and it is even worse. More people die, and those who survive have no money, because many people abroad like to consume in advance. They don’t save much, so there are many people who don’t have any money.
Materials abroad are also more expensive than those in country Z, because country Z has artificial starch that can provide everyone with half a full meal. However, in foreign countries, it is difficult to guarantee even half full meals. Although many people died, the remaining There are still not enough people and materials. If country Z does not sometimes sell them some synthetic starch, otherwise more people will die. After all, not all countries have synthetic starch factories.
——Country Z has announced the artificial starch technology out of humanitarianism. However, even if the technology is announced, every country cannot build a factory if it wants to, because Country Z is an industrial power. , it is easy to build a factory, but in many foreign countries, it is very difficult to build a factory, because some countries do not have the corresponding equipment at all, and it is certainly unrealistic to seek assistance from Country Z. After all, Country Z’s technology has been made public. , does it even need assistance from country Z for equipment? How is that possible? A country comes to Country Z for assistance. When other countries hear about it, they must also seek assistance from Country Z. There are so many countries, and Country Z can’t help. Since it can’t help, Country Z must not be able to help any of them. We have to provide assistance, otherwise it would not be good if one of them assists and the other does not. Because there is no equipment aided by Country Z, it is not easy for countries to build their own factories; even if they are built, the number may be small, unlike Country Z which has built so many. In this way, the production volume is limited, or There is not enough food for the people in their countries, so country Z sometimes exports some artificial starch to help them. After all, if it has enough energy, it is not good to watch all the people in other countries starve to death.
And just when people were struggling to survive, the master of metaphysics in country Z once again made a prophecy, saying that he watched the sky at night, saying that the super volcano in country M might erupt, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Let the local people run away quickly.
I didn’t mention what happened to the people in other countries. After all, if there was artificial starch, this matter would have less impact on the people in other countries.
The account of this master of metaphysics has become very popular recently, so he predicted it, and people in Country M heard about it, were frightened to death, and ran away quickly, including the officials of Country M, who also said, Z This master of metaphysics in China made his predictions right time and time again, making everyone temporarily believe that they should leave the relevant place quickly and escape from the direct impact of the volcano.
People who are not in country M rush to stock up on supplies, especially air purification systems. After all, if a super volcano erupts like that, the air will definitely be polluted. If we don’t do this, humans will absorb volcanic ash every day, and sooner or later they will too. A dead word.
As a result, the prices of air purification products suddenly skyrocketed.
Fortunately, country Z has been selling this kind of thing for a long time, and Linlang has already bought it and installed it at home, so there is no need to compete with others now.
The country has started to encourage people to buy this kind of thing before, but the slogan is that after the earthquake, the air pollution was serious, so everyone should buy air purification systems. As a commodity, the country started to promote it, and naturally there were many People buy.
But some people still didn't buy it, so now I heard that a super volcano would erupt and the air purification system would be robbed, so the price naturally increased.
Because the prophecy has not yet come true, the country has not drawn lots and sold it to the people at a low price. It is planning to wait until something happens before doing this. After all, the prophecy has not yet come true, so the country believes it and sells air purification systems at a low price. , a bit strange, after all, doesn’t that mean that even the country believes in that “magic stick”? Although this magic stick is the country, the country cannot show its belief in it on the surface, so it can only wait.
Same as last time, the master of metaphysics did not say the specific time of the outbreak - mainly Linlang, nor did he mention the specific time, because the original body did not remember the specific time in her memory, so she could not follow it. The official said the specific time, we can only say that something like this will happen next.
Linlang didn’t say anything, so the official wouldn’t know, so at this time the master of metaphysics could only say something vague.
This is going to happen anyway, so just wait.
