Hoarding Essentials

When Elena arrived home, she wasted no time and picked up her phone to contact the SupplyLink Brokers. 

After a few seconds, a friendly voice answered, eager to share the details of their services.

"Hello! At SupplyLink Brokers, we specialize in sourcing everything a supermarket needs," the representative explained.

"Fresh vegetables, canned goods, frozen foods, and snacks are just a few of the many food items we can provide. We also supply necessities for the home, such as toiletries, cleaning supplies, and paper goods. To guarantee timely and high-quality deliveries, our team collaborates closely with reliable manufacturers."

Elena felt elated. This was precisely what she needed! 

After discussing her specific needs, she quickly decided to place an order.

She wanted a variety of products for her space. 

She requested a large number of these products: fresh fruits and vegetables, boxes of pasta, jars of sauces, bags of rice, and a selection of snacks like chips and cookies. 

She ordered cleaning supplies, laundry detergents, and many personal care products for household items.

Feeling confident in her choices, she agreed to meet with the SupplyLink team the next few days to finalize the deal. 

They discussed the terms over the phone, and the representative assured her that they could stock her warehouse within 20 days.

As for the cost, they agreed on two hundred million green coins for the initial order, with a payment plan allowing Elena to pay half upfront and the rest upon delivery.

Elena flipped through her notebook, feeling accomplished as she crossed out "food supplies." 

That task was almost finished, but she still needed to buy tons of rice and wheat in the public market! 

Well, I will visit the market once I get my uncle's money.

Now, she needed to focus on water supplies. 

This included water bottles, purification tablets, and commissioning someone to build a large water refining station inside the warehouse.

She opened her laptop and began searching for companies specializing in water systems. 

After a few minutes, she found one called Clear Water Solutions that seemed perfect for her needs. 

With a sense of urgency, she picked up her phone and dialed their number.

"Hello, Clear Water Solutions! How can I help you today?" a warm voice greeted her.

"Hi! I'm looking to set up a large water refining station that can run 24 hours a day," Elena said, keeping her tone casual. 

"I also want to buy a lot of water bottles and water purification tablets."

"You're definitely in the right company, miss!" the representative replied. 

"We can definitely assist you with that. Our refining stations are efficient and designed for larger volumes of water."

"Great!" Elena continued, trying to sound enthusiastic but calm.

The representative noted her request and began discussing the options available. 

They discussed sizes, installation, and cost.

After completing some details, they scheduled a follow-up meeting to finalize the agreement.

As she hung up, Elena felt relieved and excited. 

She was taking the necessary steps to prepare, all while keeping her hoarding discreet.

After finishing her lunch, Elena hopped into her husband's truck and drove to Clear Water Solutions. 

On the way, she spotted a supermarket and decided to stop. 

She quickly grabbed a cart and filled whatever she found on the shelves.

Once she had everything, she drove to a secluded area nearby and carefully stored her haul in her space. 

Feeling satisfied, she repeated the process at several other supermarkets, filling her space with more supplies each time.

Finally, after her shopping spree, she headed straight to Clear Water Solutions for the final step.

Upon arrival, she met with a representative and confidently paid up to 100 million green coins for the water refining station. 

They discussed the installation timeline, which will take a month, with the rest of the payment due once the system is set up.

"Thank you for trusting us, Miss Elena. We will do our best to serve you," the representative said with a beaming smile.

"As long as you provide the highest-quality equipment and the best water supplies, that will be great," Elena said.

"We will miss Elena."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Elena said.
