However, he then shook his head: "No, I'll go buy it up ahead!"
When the other person saw Lu Yuan about to leave, he knew that Lu Yuan must have something in his hand, so he quickly chased after him.
"Hey bro, if you have anything to sell, sell it to me! We scalpers get better prices than over there, and we can even help you find out things for free!"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan was immediately tempted.
After all, they came here mainly to inquire about things. If they could find out what they wanted, they would be willing to give away the goods they had.
Seeing that Lu Yuan had taken an interest, a hint of joy flashed in the other man's eyes.
He then looked around and pointed to a shed in the distance, saying, "Why don't we go over there and have a proper talk? That's our territory!"
Lu Yuan nodded, and then drove with Xiao Shan to the other party's tent.
It was just that it was noon, and the temperature was very high, reaching over forty degrees Celsius.
Everyone has gotten used to this kind of high temperature, but prolonged exposure to the sun is still not good.
After all, the intensity of ultraviolet radiation is still relatively high. Although the atmosphere has recovered somewhat, a large amount of ultraviolet radiation still seeps out, so it is not as safe as it was before the apocalypse.
Upon arrival, the other party served tea and water with great hospitality, as they noticed the considerable amount of items stored in the back of Lu Yuan's car.
Therefore, they were very interested in what Lu Yuan brought. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they immediately got down to business.
"Brothers, what are you here to sell? Do you need any information about entering the city? If so, we can handle it for you at a low price. Of course, we also take a cut ourselves; it depends on your requirements!"
Then the other party took out two boards and handed them to Lu Yuan, who glanced at them.
Lu Yuan glanced at them and immediately understood the situation. These scalpers were just people trying to make a living, and their knowledge was all over the place. They could only handle the buying and selling of small items.
As for large-scale commodity transactions, they are not prepared for that, but they can help act as intermediaries.
They can only operate on a small scale, collecting a few items and making a small profit, barely enough to feed themselves.
Of course, if they encounter someone who truly doesn't know anything, and they're willing to take advantage, they can be extremely ruthless.
However, after seeing Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan's appearance, the group immediately lost the urge to make fun of them.
After all, these two people are clearly not to be trifled with, especially since they own a car in this day and age, which means that they definitely have a huge family system or a very powerful team supporting them.
Lu Yuan casually lifted the cloth covering the rear of the truck, revealing the fish meat inside.
Upon seeing the fish, everyone in the nearby black market immediately gathered around.
"Wow, this fish looks really good! It looks really good. Look at the amount of oil in it, it's amazing! My goodness, how big is this fish!"
"Yes, everyone's been having night blindness lately. Fish liver oil is definitely a good thing. How much, brother? Sell it to me!"
"Count me in! Count me in! Brother, seriously, this stuff is a lifesaver! Can you sell me this fish? The price is negotiable, you can exchange it for money, even gold!"
A large group of people saw the goods in Lu Yuan's car, and their eyes gleamed.
Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan couldn't help but exchange a glance.
They hadn't expected these people to like their goods so much.
After pondering for a while, Lu Yuan and his group asked, "If we want a long-term supply of these fish and meat, what price would you charge for them?"
The first person who led the way quickly stepped forward: "Brother, to tell you the truth, if you sell this to me, I guarantee you'll get a great deal. I can sign a three-year contract with you; you only need to sell it for a minimum of three years!"
After hearing his words, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback: "What? Three years? You've been collecting payments for that long? Can you really collect payments for that long?"
The other person chuckled, and the others beside him began to explain: "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. How could he collect so much by himself? We'll take it from you for three years. We'll take as much as you have, and we guarantee a reasonable price!"
"That's right. If you go to the military by yourself, those guys are really ruthless. They'll hold onto your goods and won't pay you in cash. Come to us, we have cash on hand!"
"Yes, yes, everyone gets a share. You can't monopolize this stuff by yourself. So many of us are eagerly following along, we should at least get a piece of the pie. This brother, sell it to us at a rock-bottom price, I guarantee you'll get a good deal!"
A group of people surrounded Lu Yuan and his friends, chattering and making noise.
Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan finally understood why these people did what they did.
There is an extreme shortage of fish in the market right now. They are unable to raise fish because of the very insufficient water supply.
Therefore, they are now searching for suitable fish everywhere, but this place is far from the sea, and they don't have suitable boats, so going out to sea to fish is almost impossible.
Moreover, due to the massive mutations in global organisms, fish are now unusually ferocious.
Going to sea to fish has become an almost impossible task for humans; it's practically a life-or-death struggle, which is why they value fish so much.
