Chapter 62: Crazy Acquisition
Soon, the chat channel became lively.
Number 578443: Holy cow, my S alloy got sold! Let me see who bought it, it's 10086!
Number 678345: Mine too! It got bought by 10086! He must know the purpose of S alloy, otherwise, he wouldn't have bought it. He's not a fool with too much money.
Number 10010: Hehe, 10086 is quite cunning. Look at the remaining S alloy on the trading platform, 10086 has control over it at a very low price. Do you know what that means?
Number 293853: What does it mean?
Number 10000: It means that after knowing the purpose of S alloy, 10086 has hoarded a large quantity of it. Later, when there is a high demand for S alloy, he can sell it and make a huge profit. After all, he acquired it at a low price.
Number 567454: Uh, I understand the logic. Isn't this just profiteering? But there are risks involved, right? What if there is a high production or it becomes useless later? Then 10086 will be at a loss too!
Number 10010: What if he doesn't incur any loss? Are you all going to watch 10086 profit while shedding tears? In my opinion, we should unite and lower the price of S alloy! Make 10086 suffer!
Number 734645: ???
Number 324623: ???
Number 234346: I feel something is not right. I don't know what to say, but it seems like you have a flawed thinking.
Number 322356: I agree, if other survivors who possess S alloy collectively lower the price, preventing it from increasing, it's like playing around! If 10086 has the capital to buy everything at once, then they will dominate the market!
Number 10000: Oh dear! I've been saying you all don't understand! You still don't believe me!
Imagine a survivor, not just one, even a large-scale team like the police station. If you ask them to buy so much S alloy at once, how much supplies will they have left? Now, 10086 is definitely incapable but interested. We can only watch him as we unite and sanction him.
In the end, he will either sell at a loss reluctantly or be stuck with worthless goods!
Number 645234: Well, it kind of makes sense.
Number 987239: Let's give it a try and listen to him. Anyway, I can't sell at the current price. Even if I sell at a lower price, I'm happy to do so.
Waldo, in his villa, looked at the chat records and started to admire 10000 and 10010.
These two guys seemed to have a grudge against him, always disrupting his plans.
This time, if they genuinely wanted to hoard the goods but couldn't follow up, they might end up being tricked.
Unfortunately, Waldo only needed the S alloy to build an underground bunker.
Moreover, the current stock of S alloy materials was insufficient, requiring a secondary purchase.
Seeing many survivors starting to adjust and lower the prices, Waldo resisted the urge and didn't act immediately.
It's not enough yet!
More people might still be waiting!
For a long time, there was no large-scale purchase happening.
Number 10000 and Number 10010 were excited and proud in the chat channel.
Number 10000: How about that? How about that? Wasn't I right earlier?
The prices were even lower than before, but there was no significant purchase happening. This is enough to show that 10086 couldn't handle it! He's probably watching the price of S alloy plummet, feeling frustrated, hahaha!
It seems that, as Number 10000 said, Waldo took a big fall. Inside the police station, Sheriff and his team were watching the sanctions against Number 10086 unfold, just as everyone had expected. Waldo was indeed unable to continue and had to swallow the bitter pill.
Scorpion, looking at the low-priced S alloy at this time, couldn't help but say, "Sheriff, should we also purchase some S alloy? After all, Number 10086 suddenly bought a large quantity of it, so he must have obtained some information in advance. The price of S alloy is right now, and we could actually..."
Sheriff shook his head halfway through hearing Scorpion's words. "Scorpion, first of all, you need to understand that we are a team, and we must carefully allocate our resources and use them wisely. It's not worth it to hastily invest in an unknown-purpose S alloy."
Scorpion was somewhat dissatisfied. "But Sheriff, if S alloy becomes useful in the future, the price won't be the same when we try to buy it then. Why be afraid?"
Sheriff laughed heartily, not concerned at all. "What are you afraid of? We have many people in the police station, and we don't need to make purchases. Our own production of S alloy will be sufficient in the future. Based on the current situation, the production of S alloy won't be too scarce."
Meanwhile, Waldo was in his villa watching TV with Alanna and Helen. He closed the chat channel directly and didn't take the so-called sanctions seriously. When he heard them talking about sanctioning him with a fierce momentum, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
If it weren't for the special circumstances of the S alloy and his lack of time to collect it discreetly, Waldo wouldn't have boldly made a large-scale purchase. After all, it would attract too much attention.
However, Waldo was still quite grateful to Number 10000 and Number 10010. Now, more and more survivors who held S alloy were setting their prices within a certain range.
Those with slightly cheaper prices were immediately bought by some speculative traders and resold at standard prices. The expensive ones were simply left at the end of the trading page. The prices began to stabilize.
After watching an episode of the TV series, Waldo cleared his throat to interrupt the two girls who were discussing whether the male lead should choose the first female lead or the second female lead. "Um, what's the point of discussing this? As a man, of course, I want them all."
Alanna gave him a meaningful look, and Helen blushed slightly, softly saying, "Back when we were studying together, I didn't realize that you, Waldo, had such a flirtatious side."
Waldo exclaimed innocently, "Ladies, my comments were only about the TV series. Please don't take it personally!"
Seeing Waldo being outwitted, Alanna and Helen laughed even more recklessly. Waldo reached out and tickled their sensitive waists, making them unable to stop laughing for a while. It was only when they signaled for mercy that Waldo retracted his victorious gesture.
After the fun, it was time for everyone to focus on their tasks and prepare to purchase S alloy again. Upon hearing this, Alanna and Helen quickly got into action, opening the trading platform and being on standby.
Waldo was waiting for the moment when everyone relaxed, thinking they didn't have the capability to purchase S alloy and confidently unified the price to maintain a monopoly.
That's when he would strike with full force. The three of them would act together and buy up all the low-priced S alloy. In no time, the trading platform
was left with only a few pieces of S alloy, which were extremely expensive and belonged to the realm of amusement. For example, the kind that previously required ten kilograms of rice to exchange for one piece of S alloy.
Some survivors who had just collected S alloy and wanted to list it on the trading platform were taken aback when they saw the reference prices. They couldn't help but hesitate, thinking, "When did the price of S alloy become so exorbitant? The items I just listed had a relatively low price."
When they opened the trading platform, they discovered that S alloy was almost sold out. Many survivors started to voice their complaints in the chat channel.
