Chapter 692 Trade Fair?

Seeing his lie exposed, Hans's cheek twitched slightly, clearly flustered.

He hadn't expected that this young-looking girl would be so knowledgeable about prices, but considering she was from Merrick, it wasn't surprising.

After all, many of the guns they have here are wholesale from arms dealers in Merrick.

"Oh dear... even going through the proper channels requires bribing a lot of people, and we definitely need to make money."

These guns are all legal. If you really think they're too expensive, I can lower the price by another 10,000 yuan, so you can give me 70,000 yuan.

This is already a very reasonable price. If it weren't for the fact that you're celebrities, most people wouldn't even be able to get it.

Liu Sisi persisted, insisting that the bald man was still ripping people off. He was expected to earn at least 10,000 yuan in commission from this single order, which was far more than what she was looking for.

Just as she was about to haggle again, Ye Feng stopped her...

"Okay, Manager Hans, it's settled at 70,000, but please prepare as much ammunition as possible for us. Please hurry."

"Great!" Hans gave a thumbs up, beaming with delight. "As expected of the King of the Jungle, you've got guts, unlike those whiny little girls. Wait here, I'll get it ready for you right away."

Excuse me, but he ran away in a flash, as if afraid that Ye Feng would change his mind.

"Brother Feng! He's obviously ripping us off, can't you see that?" Liu Sisi puffed out her cheeks in anger, clearly indignant.

She wasn't upset about the money; she just hated the feeling of being taken advantage of.

"Forget it, forget it." Ye Feng joked, pointing to Zhan Pengfei beside him. "We have millions of internet celebrities standing here, what's a little money to him?"

Ye Feng was just joking, but Zhan Pengfei immediately got excited and generously took out his card from his pocket.

Although he has only been back in China for a month or so, he has already received over ten million yuan in gifts from fans. If he wanted to, he could easily become a billionaire by doing some live-streaming e-commerce after returning to China and signing with a company.

"Brother Feng is right. I lack everything right now, except money. I'll give you the money!"

"Hahaha!" His generosity amused everyone, who burst into laughter.

Qi Xiaojie came to his side and nudged his arm obsequiously...

"Brother Fei...I...I also want to...make a lot of money, teach...teach me, please."

Zhan Pengfei glanced at Qi Xiaojie, then touched his chin and nodded enigmatically.

"Yeah, you can livestream yourself throwing stones. You have quite a few fans, and many female fans often ask me why I don't livestream."

But don't choose the wrong track! If we're just chatting, with your speaking speed, the fans will all be asleep by the time you finish.

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter again.

They chatted like that until half an hour later when they finally put on their bulletproof vests.

Hans gave each person a Glock pistol with two magazines, each containing 17 rounds of 9mm ammunition.

The others each carried two grenades, while Fu Changxiong and Zhan Pengwu each carried four. After all, more grenades would increase their load, and they weren't there to fight a war.

They paid a total of $150,000. Paying in advance is the rule here, and the extra amount is considered a deposit.

After that, Ye Feng didn't linger for a moment, and the group set off by plane.

The captain, named Covington, was a bald, Merrick man in his forties with ten years of flying experience.

His second-in-command, who was about the same age as him and had been flying for seven or eight years, was named Perodua and had a large beard.

Taking off from the not-so-spacious helicopter airport, in less than an hour, the already small city disappeared from their sight...

Instead, they found themselves in a familiar, boundless, and perilous green jungle.

Having specific coordinates is equivalent to having navigation.

The military helicopter was equipped with advanced radar, and his deputy, Perodua, immediately determined that it was about 600 kilometers away from the target location given by Ye Feng.

At a speed of 280 kilometers per hour, the plane can reach the coordinates in just over two hours.

The cabin was very lively, with everyone chatting leisurely.

Liu Sisi and Qi Xiaoyan were packing their suitcases. They had bought a lot of women's products, including sanitary napkins, underwear, and even decorations.

The men bought more practical items, including knives, a large box of snacks, shoes, clothes, and toys.

They didn't take Ye Feng's words seriously at all, assuming that the women of the Baijia tribe were still living well and that this trip was just a visit to comfort and visit them, and a side trip.

Ye Feng, meanwhile, was using binoculars to observe the endless green ocean below.

Everything here seems unchanged; the mist still lingers, birds fly about, and the place is teeming with life.

But only those who have been there know that this seemingly beautiful scenery hides countless deadly animals.

At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly remembered what Dato had once told him.

They kidnap women to sell them, and this usually happens in markets on the outskirts of the jungle.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng leaned closer to the cockpit. "Captains, have you ever heard of the market on the outskirts of the Amazon?"

"You mean the trade fair?" Perod asked, adjusting the headphones on his head so that only one ear was visible.

"A trade fair?" Ye Feng muttered to himself, then asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?"

Upon hearing this, Covington, who was in the driver's seat, chuckled and interjected in his husky voice, "It's just a place where the locals go to market. It's said to have existed for decades. Most of the people involved are locals. It happens every now and then, and there are lots of good stuff there."

"Could you explain it to me in detail?" Ye Feng was very curious about this, since there were some things that couldn't be learned from books or the internet.

Seeing that Ye Feng was so rich and yet so polite, the talkative Covington and Perodua did not refuse, after all, Ye Feng was now considered their boss.

After a long conversation, Ye Feng's eyes were opened, and even Liu Sisi and the others who were chatting were eager to hear the story.

It turns out that the so-called trade fair here is actually similar to a rural market in China, except that the market here never closes and is held every day.

Furthermore, the items they sell are extremely savory; in China, they would be considered a large-scale criminal smuggling operation.

This trade fair originated more than 70 years ago and was spontaneously organized by the indigenous people.

At that time, they lived in different corners of the jungle, and because of the different geographical and ecological environments, each tribe produced different things.

For example, some indigenous areas are rich in fruit, but lack medicinal herbs, so when they get sick they can only tough it out.

In some places, there are many animals and no shortage of meat, but there is a lack of vitamins.

There are other places that have everything, but no women, or very few women.

Therefore, the indigenous people from various ethnic groups and tribes organized this trade fair.

The goal is to put the most resources from one's territory on the platform and exchange them for the resources one needs most.

There's nothing wrong with that, since everyone gets what they need and everyone's happy.

But gradually, some modern people in neighboring countries sensed a business opportunity in this.

Take a simple wild boar hide, for example. In the hands of these natives, it can at most be exchanged for a few pieces of straw clothing and sandals.

But if it were in the hands of modern people, it would be a completely different matter.

Once transported into the city and processed using modern technology into various luxury goods, they can be resold at exorbitant prices.

This is a business that will make you incredibly wealthy.

Therefore, after so many years of development, many modern people have come to the jungle to do purchasing business.

It was the addition of these people that changed the nature of the trade fair, allowing modern weapons, such as firearms, which were not native to this area, to gradually enter this primitive land.

Some people, driven by their own selfish desires, have even turned to drugs and human trafficking.

Beautiful women from tribes like the Baija and others, once captured, might be sent to this place for people to choose from.

Whether it's for middlemen to make a profit or for people to buy for fun, women here are treated worse than pigs and dogs; they're just commodities.

After hearing all this, Ye Feng finally understood why those ethnic groups had been hunting down the Baijia tribe.

This perfectly illustrates the saying, "Without buying, there would be no killing."
