The jade vendor looked at the unassuming promotional flyer for Jianglin Hotel in Chu Jiangyue’s hand, unsure whether to take it or not.
Instinctively, he glanced at Song Chengjun.
Song Chengjun was the captain of the base patrol, he should know what this is, right?
Song Chengjun: I don’t know, don’t ask me.
"With this, within a 1-meter range for 3 days, you can block zombies and ignore extreme heat.
Without a temperature control suit, you can still safely reach Jianglin Hotel from the base."
Chu Jiangyue thought that Little Fox should prepare more of these flyers for her, to hand out to survivors when she meets them.
As long as the survivors are not harassed by zombies and are not afraid of extreme heat, they have a greater chance of safely reaching Jianglin Hotel and becoming its guests.
Hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, Song Chengjun’s eyes eagerly fixated on the flyer in the vendor’s hand.
This is a good thing, indeed, following Boss Chu around, good things are constantly emerging.
Of course, Chu Jiangyue noticed Song Chengjun’s gaze, and if he could help her solve the problem of new customers, she wouldn’t mind giving him some of the flyers.
You can’t catch wolves without sacrificing sheep; a few flyers for Song Chengjun to help her complete her mission is a sure-win deal.
"I...I really feel a lot cooler!"
The jade vendor felt the sudden drop in temperature around him and looked at Chu Jiangyue with a hint of reverence in his eyes.
Hearing Captain Song call her Boss Chu, could she be the legendary owner of Jianglin Hotel?
He had heard others say that the owner of Jianglin Hotel was a young and beautiful girl.
If this person in front of him is truly that person, the jade vendor thought those descriptions were somewhat lacking.
"Boss Chu, do you have any more flyers? I won’t take it for free; I’ll buy it from you!"
The price of temperature control suits is still quite high. Some people at the base went to Jianglin Hotel, but after buying other things, they didn’t have enough money left for a temperature control suit.
Also, a temperature control suit needs to be changed every three days, not everyone can afford that cost.
More people buy several suits and only wear them when going on missions, not using them for everyday wear at the base to save costs.
But if they have this flyer, although they need to carry it, it functions similarly to a temperature control suit and might be cheaper.
"Ah, this, each person can only use it once. After using a flyer, if you don’t go to Jianglin Hotel, you can’t use a second one."
The reason Chu Jiangyue publicly brought out the flyers is because of this use limitation.
Otherwise, with the flyer, the market for temperature control suits would disappear.
That jade vendor couldn’t care about that anymore; knowing that the flyer can only be used once per person, he needed to quickly pack up and head to Jianglin Hotel.
Upon learning the flyer can only be used once per person, Song Chengjun looked slightly regretful, thinking he had found a substitute for the temperature control suit.
However, even if it can only be used once, Song Chengjun thought it’s still worth a try.
"Boss Chu, I think there’s room for discussion here."
Hearing Song Chengjun’s words, Chu Jiangyue raised an eyebrow.
Alright, she initially thought of it as a friendly gift to help Song Chengjun draw in new clients, but if he insists on buying, that’s not impossible.
"This isn’t the place to talk about it. Captain Song, find a convenient place where we can discuss further."
If there’s room for negotiation, Song Chengjun’s eyes brightened, and he led Chu Jiangyue to his usual office space.
The place where Song Chengjun worked, calling it an office would be better described as a villa turned into an office.
The entire B City Safety Base was renovated around a large villa area on the outskirts of B City, but its direction is one south, one north of Prosperity Heights.
"Boss Chu, please come in with your team."
Song Chengjun led them into the villa, personally pouring them a glass of water.
The water they now used mostly came from Water Ability Users and Ice Ability Users.
Everyone has a set limit for water each day. After reaching the limit, if you want more, you need to exchange materials for it.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t mind, taking a small sip.
Hmm, it’s not as good as the water from her hut.
"Boss Chu, I would like to purchase some flyers from you, so when we escort people to Jianglin Hotel, it can be easier."
On the route to Jianglin Hotel, besides the already secured passages, the middle stretches are difficult to manage.
Some elderly and young ones can’t make it halfway.
During those times, they have to lend their temperature control suits to the elderly and children.
But the temperature control suits themselves aren’t cheap, giving theirs away means they have to wear another, and doing this every escort trip drains their Gold Coins.
But with the flyer, their burden can be greatly reduced.
"The flyers are for attracting new guests for me. How many new guests can Captain Song attract for me?"
"With the flyer, we can escort more people, and I’m sure Boss Chu would be pleased with that."
"Of course, the flyers aren’t easy to make, so if Captain Song wants to purchase in bulk, the price won’t be cheap."
Shen Zhigui and the others: Did you forget you gave away a hundred just like that before?
However, although Shen Zhigui and the others thought this, they wouldn’t tactlessly undermine Chu Jiangyue, unless they didn’t want to stay at Jianglin Hotel.
"Boss Chu, just name your price."
Since the base would be paying, Song Chengjun felt no pressure about the final price agreed upon.
Negotiating without using your own money is quite enjoyable.
Chu Jiangyue thought it over, the base also helps bring in more guests, so setting an extreme price would make her seem too harsh.
"Considering you’re an old partner, Captain Song, I won’t cheat you. A flat rate of 50 copper coins per flyer, how about it?"
This is meant to be a long-term cooperation, so Chu Jiangyue planned to take the low-margin, high-volume path.
The more flyers they buy, the more guests the base can send to Jianglin Hotel.
It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement in another sense.
Even if Chu Jiangyue is willing to give them away for free, Little Fox wouldn’t agree.
After all, making these flyers consumes its energy.
Only taking and not giving back, even a production team’s donkey can’t be exploited like that.
As long as there’s income, Little Fox can gather energy and won’t be doing work for nothing.
The 50 copper coin price was much cheaper than Song Chengjun expected, but he still wanted to get more discounts for the base.
"Boss Chu, you know, currently only our base knows about Jianglin Hotel.
Our base plans to visit other bases, hoping to attract more guests to Jianglin Hotel then..."
Chu Jiangyue raised her hand to interrupt Song Chengjun: "50 copper coins, no less. If you can’t accept this price, there’s no need for us to talk further."
Of course, Chu Jiangyue knew what Song Chengjun was angling for, but a set price is a set price, she wouldn’t give him another chance to haggle.
