start with a pet store

Chapter 1096 Interesting

The two chatted along the way, and the journey, which was originally a long journey, became much faster because of chatting.

Hearing the sound of the car, Liu Bingkun walked out of the warehouse: "Yes, yes, it's here."

Lu Jingxing parked the car and looked around: "Not bad, Mr. Liu, this place is good, especially this yard, it's quite big..."

Not to mention being used as a warehouse, it can even be used as a logistics park, with space for four or five large trucks.

"Haha, that's true. So, even though I haven't used it yet, I haven't returned it. Mainly because the rent is not expensive..." Liu Bingkun said with a smile.

"It's just that the road here is a bit bad, with many twists and turns, and it's a bit far from the city..." Situ Fang said.

"That can't be helped. Those closer to the city won't be this expensive..." Liu Bingkun said, "Come, take a look inside. I'm still cleaning it. It's a little dirty, but it won't be much worse. I'll be done today. After a day and a night, the smell should be gone."

Several people walked into the warehouse together.

Standing at the gate and looking inside, I saw three people in their forties or fifties cleaning.

"This warehouse is much taller than the one we rented in Mingzhou last time. The area is about the same, but it has more windows. It should be much better." Situ Fang said again.

Lu Jingxing nodded in agreement: "With a place like this, we don't have to worry about the cats having nowhere to stay."

"Another good thing about this place is that there is a kitchen and bedroom in the back, so people can live and cook. This place is far from the city, and if many people come, food and accommodation will also be a problem. Other warehouses don't have this, and cooking is not allowed. There are only a few rooms in this area where you can cook." Liu Bingkun said with some pride.

"Oh, that's good..." Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This was something he didn't expect.

In the past, we would order takeout for this kind of thing, which was okay in the city, but it’s really inconvenient here.

Liu Bingkun took the two of them around for half a circle and brought them to the back.

There are two bedrooms at the back, with four bunk beds. Beyond the bedrooms is the kitchen, which has a stove and bowls. It seems that Liu Bingkun's employees used to cook there.

"There's a toilet at the back. It's small but complete." Liu Bingkun said, pointing to the smallest room at the back.

However, no one in the toilet went closer to take a look.

"Not bad, very good, it solved a big problem." Lu Jingxing nodded repeatedly.

"The other warehouse I'm talking about is a little bit bigger than this one, but the yard is not as big as this one. It doesn't have a kitchen, but there is a toilet, which is just at the back. Come on, I'll take you there..." Liu Bingkun saw that the two had finished their tour and there was no need to go into the warehouse. After all, there was only one room and one could see the end at a glance.

Just understand the general idea and have a general idea in mind.

Hearing this, the three of them left the yard and followed Liu Bingkun to the back.

Liu Bingkun made a phone call: "The boss said the door is not closed, so let us go directly over. Judging from the sounds, they should be at the card table..." he said with a smile.

"Are all the warehouses of this type in this area?" Lu Jingxing asked.

“No, we had a logistics park before, and it was really popular at the beginning. But as Afang said, maybe the road was too narrow and too far away, so the logistics park moved towards the city, and this side gradually became empty. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so cheap.” Liu Bingkun said.

"That's a pity. Such a big place is left empty..." Lu Jingxing said regretfully.

"Yes, there are quite a few vacant ones now, but many of them don't have yards, just one room. The prices are all about the same, so I asked here..."

There was a rusty iron gate closed in the backyard. Liu Bingkun walked up and pushed the door open.

"Look, the yard is much smaller, but the inside is almost the same as mine. There's no need to clean it. It was used as a stockpile, so it's not dirty..." Liu Bingkun pushed the iron gate all the way to the end and then blocked it with a brick.

The yard floor is paved with cement, and there are no weeds as before Lu Jingxing came. The warehouse is also about five meters high and has four large windows, making the warehouse very bright.

He couldn't help but nodded to show his satisfaction.

"How much does this cost per month?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"I heard that it's quite expensive to rent this area for logistics, about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month. But now no one is renting it, so the price has come down. I negotiated for 4,000 yuan a month for a long-term lease, and I think this one is at most 5,000 yuan. After all, the yard is smaller than mine..." Liu Bingkun said with his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Liu, you're only getting four thousand a month and you've been sitting there doing nothing..." Situ Fang smacked his lips.

You know, there are very few people who can earn 4,000 yuan a month working in Longan, and the average basic salary is only more than 3,000 yuan.

"I've only been vacant for more than a month. The contract is for a year, and there's still a quarter left. I still can't rent it out. The money is in the hands of the landlord, and it's impossible for you to ask him to return the money..." He laughed at himself.

"That's right, but it will cost more than ten thousand just to be idle for a quarter, which is not worth it..." Lu Jingxing said.

"There's nothing we can do about it, but it's coming in handy..." Liu Bingkun said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I think it's okay. Let's just take these two for now. However, don't tell the landlord to sign this yet. We don't know the outcome of our matter yet. Wait until it's confirmed before signing. Anyway, you have one, and there's a big yard outside, so you can use it as a transition." Lu Jingxing analyzed.

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. There are many empty warehouses here. If the landlord raises the price, we can look for another one. There's still time..." Liu Bingkun nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, then thank you for your help. I just need you to be here. If you need me on that day, I'll arrange for you to come over..." The three of them walked out while talking.

"Here are the keys to my warehouse. I may have to go back in the next two days, so I may not be able to make it back. You can just arrange to come over. We can finish the sanitation here today." Liu Bingkun took out three keys and gave them to Lu Jingxing: "This is for the main door, the warehouse, and the bedroom at the back."

Lu Jingxing took it and took it regardless of whether he would need it or not.

"Okay, thanks, thank you for your hard work..." He raised the key and bowed.

"Hey, there's no need to be so polite. I feel honored to be able to help you. If you have any questions, just call me..." Liu Bingkun sent the two to the car: "Let's go back the same way..."

"Okay, see you later, Mr. Liu..." Lu Jingxing started the car, greeted with a smile, and drove out of the gate.

"Having a place to put it here will solve the big problem. Do you want to send some cat food or something first? Oh, by the way, cat litter, let's go to the cat litter, how could I forget about this..." Situ Fang slapped his head and took out his mobile phone to search the map.

"We passed by it on the way here. I'm so..." he said in annoyance.

"It's okay to just pass by. Can't we just pass by on the way back?" Lu Jingxing said with a smile. He was relieved that he had decided on a place. At least he wouldn't be so passive. "You have a point. We can ask the factory to send some cat food as a backup. There are also medicines. We need to restock some of the commonly used medicines..." After turning a small corner, Lu Jingxing frowned and said.

"I'll talk to Ding Fang about this when I get back and ask her to make up for it. How much cat food should I send her first?" Situ Fang asked.

"About one or two tons. We can send it to Store 1 first and put it in the dormitory building. There's no need to put it here first. We don't know what the situation is. If something really happens, it will still be in time to move it from Store 1." Lu Jingxing analyzed.

Situ Fang couldn't help but nodded.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's just in front. Let me make a phone call first..." said Situ Fang.

"Why is there cat litter in this place? Don't you find it strange? It's neither a factory, nor a base, nor a warehouse..." Lu Jingxing looked curiously at the row of houses on the roadside ahead.

"It's indeed strange. However, he didn't give any specific reason, so I don't want to keep asking." Situ Fang replied while waiting for the call to be connected.

"Hello, have you arrived?" The other party's voice came from the microphone.

"Oh, yes, I'm here. Is it the row of red brick houses on the side of the road?" Situ Fang said while pointing at the house in front.

Lu Jingxing stopped the car in front of the house.

"Yes, yes, um, you can look through the window, the fourth room, what's piled inside is..." the other person babbled.

"No, you're not here. Is there no one here?" Situ Fang said as he opened the car door and jumped out.

Lu Jingxing also got out of the car.

"I don't have it, it's only three or four tons. It depends on whether you want it or not. If you want it, I can just send a car to deliver it to you. I have something to do today, so I can't go there." The other party said impatiently.

"No, boss, I have to check the goods. I can't tell how they are by looking through the window..." Situ Fang was overwhelmed. Fortunately, he came here with his master. He came to this remote place, but that person didn't come by himself. What a situation.

"Sigh, stop nagging. Let me tell you, go around to the back of the house. There is a key in the third brick under the back window. Open the door and go in to take a look. I have surveillance cameras here that can see it. Just take a look at the goods, don't do anything else." The other party shouted.

Situ Fang looked at Lu Jingxing helplessly: "He asked me to go to the back to get the key. Master, you wait here for me..."

Lu Jingxing stood up, half turned around, then turned back and nodded.

If I came here at night, I might be a little worried, but it's broad daylight and there's no one around, so there shouldn't be any safety issues.

Situ Fang hung up the phone and ran over, quickly taking the key and saying, "Go in and take a look..."

He took out the key and opened the door, and saw that there were indeed surveillance cameras inside just as the person on the other end of the phone said, and there were two or three of them. It seemed that they didn't even arrange anyone to guard it, and they were just controlling it remotely.

All the goods were piled together, and as soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted by a familiar smell of cat litter.

There was half a basin of cat litter in a red plastic basin on the ground. At this time, a voice came from the surveillance camera: "You can see what's in that basin. The ones in the bag are all the same. Our litter is still very good..."

Lu Jingxing and Situ Fang took a look at the sand and found that it was indeed good, with little dust and little odor.

But Lu Jingxing always felt something was strange, as the source of this cat litter was unclear.

However, no matter how Situ Fang inquired, the other party just wouldn't say anything, beating around the bush: "Hey, this is not drugs, why do you care so much, if you think it's okay, just take these tons, if not, we can find another buyer, Luo, I'm not there now, it's troublesome to deal with it, it doesn't matter if it's more or less."

"Master, what do you think?" Situ Fang asked.

"Let's negotiate the price and take it. It's not much anyway..." Lu Jingxing said.

"Right, it's not much, a few tons of sand is nothing to you... The boss is really generous..." They were chatting here, and they didn't expect the surveillance signal to be so good. Even though their voices were not loud, the other party could hear them clearly.

The two men walked out. It didn't feel good at all to be under someone's surveillance.

After returning to the car, Lu Jingxing asked Situ Fang to make another call, and then he agreed on the price with the other party. They also agreed to have the goods delivered to him in about four days.

He was waiting for news about the truckload of cats before deciding where to send the tons of cat litter.

After sending Situ Fang to the store, Lu Jingxing was about to continue to the hospital when Ding Fang ran out quickly: "Brother Lu, Brother Lu..."

Lu Jingxing quickly braked the car and lowered the window.

"Brother Lu, someone just called and said he is a kind-hearted person and sent us a batch of cat medicines. It will arrive tomorrow..." Ding Fang said as she walked closer.

Lu Jingxing and Situ Fang looked at each other. They had just been talking about importing a batch of medicines, and now someone was delivering the medicines.

It’s not like someone hasn’t sent gifts before, but this time it’s a bit too coincidental.

"Did you leave any contact information? Who sent it?" Lu Jingxing asked puzzledly.

"He didn't say anything specific. I left my caller number. Do you want to call and ask?" Ding Fang asked.

"Did he say why he sent it? He wouldn't send medicines for no reason..." Lu Jingxing said.

"He didn't say anything. He just said that he had arranged a batch of medicines for you and that it would arrive tomorrow. Remember to check it. Then he hung up the phone. When I called again, there was always a dead tone..." Ding Fang looked at Lu Jingxing.

"This is becoming more and more interesting. Why do I always feel that there is something weird about this matter? First there was the anonymous letter that kept us busy, and then there was the cat litter that got some fame today, and now there are medicines too. Interesting..." Lu Jingxing muttered.

The problem is that this doesn’t seem to be a bad thing, as they are giving away medicines for free.

Also, the same thing happened with the cat litter just now. He just quoted a price and the other party agreed without saying a word, without even asking for an extra price.

Here, his cell phone rang. It was Luo Yuan calling, and he answered it immediately.

"Jing, are you here? The operation will be over soon." Luo Yuan saw that Lu Jingxing was not there, and he seemed to be feeling uneasy.

"Come right over..." Lu Jingxing hung up the phone and said to Ding Fang, "Don't worry about it. If the medicine really arrives tomorrow, check it carefully to see if there are any problems..."
