Chapter 175 What to Bring Back

"According to the time, it's almost time to return to the modern world. What should we bring back this time?" After Yan Xu arranged things for It, he leaned back in his office chair and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows, because this was a very troublesome matter. There were many things that needed to be considered. It was not as simple as taking whatever was valuable.

After drinking the instant coffee in the cup, Yan Xu got up and went to the next room.

There were many sturdy shelves here, filled with things he had people collect, ranging from common currencies to electronic components, and even some red wine from a wine cellar, but no one knew what the quality was.

They came to a shelf, on which was stored a large amount of currency moved from the town bank. It was now separated by age and denomination and placed casually on the shelf, and below it were gold and silver jewelry picked up by wasteland scavengers.

Before doomsday, these are enough to make anyone unable to take their eyes off them, and even make them want to kill and rob, but after doomsday, they are not as attractive as a piece of cookie crumbs.

Yan Xu would take away a small amount of banknotes and compare them with the currency of the modern world to see if there were any differences. If not, he would save some so that he could use them directly when encountering a world with a modern background. There would be no need to use conspicuous and troublesome gold, silver and jewelry to exchange for currency.

As for those gold and silver jewelry, they would be brought to the world of the late Qing Dynasty and sold as commodities, and would surely be welcomed by those noble ladies. As for the modern world, forget it, there is no need for that.

In addition to these things, the bulk of the items brought back are old machinery in the warehouse. These are the focus of Yan Xu's attention and will be his main way of making profits for a long time.

Some relatively simple machines can already operate with some bumps and bumps after being roughly repaired by the scrap metal repairman, but without more careful maintenance and servicing, problems will arise sooner or later, because Yan Xu has never seen a machine tool that moves like a tractor, and the vibration is so strong that a woman sitting on it can't help but clamp her legs together.

Yan Xu planned to bring back some machines from the 1980s and 1990s and find someone in the modern world to identify their uses. If they were valuable, he would keep them for his own use or sell them, provided that they were well maintained first.

These items were not very valuable and were rather troublesome, far less profitable than the high-tech items in the underground laboratory. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to take them away because he couldn't explain.

For example, computers were still big-butt computers in the early 2000s. What was he going to do with an LCD computer?
And those precision instruments are 100% on the embargo list. If he dares to take them back, he might attract bald eagles.

In fact, the best way is to find some talents in the wasteland world, and then research simple but somewhat threshold-oriented things like electric cars, and then take the ready-made technology and equipment to build factories in the modern world. This is truly a profitable way to make a lot of money, and it will not leave any future troubles. It will also become a local star enterprise and have the potential to become bigger and stronger in the future.

As for why we don't look for technology in the modern world, after all, electric cars and the like have already existed, the main issue is cost.

In the wasteland world, a box of compressed biscuits can solve the problem, but in the modern world, without a box of money, there is no way.

What's more, many technologies will not be sold easily. Even if they are sold, they will be accompanied by various harsh terms, which is far less cost-effective than keeping them yourself.

After selecting the things, Yan Xu specially recruited some civilian gunmen and planned to take them back to the modern world.

Apart from being good at shooting from behind, civilian gunmen are no different from modern people. Not only do they possess all kinds of modern common sense, they can also drive. Apart from having no identification, they are able to perfectly integrate into modern society.

As for the Volunteer Corps, forget it. Taijun is too pure. She always acts in her true colors in anti-Japanese war movies. She will be stared at wherever she goes.

The little remaining diesel was divided up to start several trucks modified by scrap metal repairmen.

Compared to Yan Xu's quietly breathing Sibu Xiang, the Sibu Xiang modified by the scrap metal repairman was like trying to dance on the spot, making a lot of noise. "This skill can only survive in the wasteland world, and it will definitely not even be able to eat in the modern world." Yan Xu couldn't help but complain.

Anyway, the time has come and Yan Xu took the lead in entering the bronze gate.

After coming to the modern world, Yan Xu frowned at the crowded pig farm, especially the huge engine noise that made the pigs scream constantly, which made people feel irritated.

"It seems that the pig farm needs to be expanded. Besides, it is not enough to have Japanese farmers raising pigs. It cannot always be managed in a closed manner. It is just right to accommodate some civilian gunmen." Yan Xu decided to expand the scale of the pig farm and apply for slaughtering qualifications at the same time. He also wanted to build a pig slaughterhouse and cold storage behind the pig farm. This way, he could accommodate more people and better cover up the growing noise.

After arranging the people, Yan Xu went home to take a shower, change clothes, and then took two bottles of good wine to the village to find the village chief.

Although even the mayor has to give him some face in this small piece of land, Yan Xu always follows the rules. He tries his best to take into account both laws and human feelings. This not only makes things go more smoothly, but also gives him a good reputation. After all, no one likes people who don't follow the rules and human feelings.

For example, regarding the expansion of the pig farm and the matter of asking the mayor for a heads-up, Yan Xu decided to discuss it with the village chief first, even though both parties knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, but he still gave him the face.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the village chief patted his chest and promised Yan Xu that he would take care of the matter. If anyone in the village dared to disobey, he would smash the windows of their house.

After saying that, he put on his shoes and went to find the village secretary and the finance department to get a certificate and a contract to first finalize the contracting of the wasteland on the back mountain.

The wasteland on the back mountain was too barren to support crops and could be said to be worthless. However, after contracting it to Yan Xu, not only could he get an income, but he could also get free pig manure to fertilize the land. The village chief was extremely satisfied.

Otherwise, how could Yan Xu's pig farm be run so smoothly? It was under closed management and there was not even anyone causing trouble.

In fact, it was not that Yan Xu did not try, but before he could make a move, the village chief hit him back with a stick.

No one can see clearly as the village chief does. The kid from the Yan family has become powerful, and they should be lucky to be able to take care of Goujiazhuang now. He even wants to act tough and extort money. He really thinks that the other party is good-tempered. Hasn't he seen that Ma Dajun from the next town is as obedient as a grandson in front of him, not to mention the younger generation of the Gou brothers, who have always followed the other party wholeheartedly without any second thoughts. How can this be expected of an ordinary person?

After the formalities were completed, someone went to purchase the equipment. As for the expansion of the site, it was all done by people Yan Xu recruited from the system. This would also help cover up some things, such as basements and secret passages.

The machinery and the Sibuxiang were pulled to the factory. Master Jiang and a group of apprentices were busy re-servicing and repairing the machines. As for the Sibuxiang, they just dismantled it and reinstalled it.

Only then did Yan Xu understand that it was not that the scrap metal repairman's craftsmanship was poor, but that a good cook could not cook without rice. In the absence of suitable tools and materials, it was considered good enough to be able to make something like this with a pile of scrap metal.

Unfortunately, the machines Yan Xu brought were not of very high value, but they were not useless.

Yan Xu took these machines and partnered with Ma Dajun to start a new company, which was considered as waste utilization.
