Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Of course there's no rush. Good things come to those who wait. It's only right that we wait for Fatty!"
"Haha, young man, you know how to handle things! How are the passes and documents I gave you last time still working?"
"It works great, I'm still using it! I have to thank Fatty for taking care of me!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's compliment, Fatty Zhu nodded in satisfaction: "It's nothing. If you ever need anything from Fatty Zhu, just let me know, and I'll give you a 20% discount!"
"Haha, thank you very much for taking care of me, Fatty!"
Zhu Pangzi nodded and gestured. Immediately, two pretty women came over with tea and poured a cup of tea for Lu Yuan and Zhu Pangzi.
When Fatty Zhu took the tea, he also grabbed a handful from the girl's hand. The girl was so frightened that she wanted to let go, but immediately realized what was happening. She could only hold on and let him take liberties with her, but she didn't dare to move an inch.
Lu Yuan didn't react much to the scene. He immediately took the tea and placed it on the table. The girl who handed him the tea immediately showed a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
After giving the girl's round buttocks a final pat, Fatty Zhu dismissed the people around him, took a sip of his tea, and looked at Lu Yuan.
"Young man, to be honest, I'm very interested in that batch of goods you mentioned on the phone! I wonder how many you plan to sell this time?"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. "That batch of goods?" he thought, making it sound like a drug deal. He was just selling a batch of high-quality seafood, tobacco, and fruit. While these things weren't particularly scarce anymore, the seafood and tobacco Lu Yuan had sent to Fatty Zhu last time made it clear to the latter that Lu Yuan's goods were different from those from the laboratory.
"Hehe, that depends on how much Fatty needs. My supply should be enough for Fatty!" Lu Yuan smiled slightly and then placed the tea on the table.
Zhu Pangzi was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Yuan's words, then burst into his signature laugh: "Haha! Brother, you really know how to joke. What if I said I wanted ten tons? Would you say you have ten tons of goods?"
"Um... if Fatty offers a reasonable price, that's possible. But Fatty, aren't you worried that with so much stock, you might try to drive the price down later?"
"Hehe! You don't need to worry about that, brother. But it seems you really do have some goods! Alright! Let's discuss the price!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay! Fatty, name your price! You decide how much! If it's reasonable, I'll accept it; if not, we'll talk about it again!"
A greedy glint flashed in Fatty Zhu's eyes: "Hehe, who exactly is my background, brother? I've never heard of you before! Although I, Fatty Zhu, am not exactly a big shot in District Five, I still believe that in this small corner of the outer city, there are very few people who can make me feel superior in terms of money!"
"Haha! Fatty, you're overthinking it. I'm just an ordinary citizen. I don't have any special skills. I just had a fishpond before the apocalypse. I've protected it well over the past few years, which is why I've managed to save my aquatic products!"
"Hehe, alright, then you name your price, brother! I'll weigh it and see if I can afford it!" Fatty Zhu lay down on the sofa, and the bodyguard next to him immediately handed him a cigar.
Lu Yuan cursed the old fox in his heart. Fortunately, he had done some research before coming and investigated the prices of seafood, fruits and tobacco. However, he was not very clear about the prices in the black market. After all, the black market was strongly resisted in the inner city. So Lu Yuan could only compare the prices in the market and set a price first. However, the price was still important.
If the price is set too high, Fatty Zhu will definitely be unhappy. If he then tries to buy everything that's in his possession, it will be troublesome. But if the price is set too low, he will lose out. These things are rare and valuable in the inner city, and even more so in the outer city. So Lu Yuan plans to raise the price.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan finally spoke: "The prices of seafood are basically the same, 10,000 yuan per catty! Fruits are slightly better, but still at least 500 yuan per catty. Tobacco is more troublesome to grow, so I've decided to set it at 100,000 yuan per catty. What do you think, Fatty?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's price, Fatty Zhu's expression changed briefly before returning to calm. He squinted at Lu Yuan and smiled, "Brother Lu, it seems you're not planning to leave me a way out!"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "Brother Pang, what you said is really unfair to me. It's not that I'm not leaving you a way out, but that the value of these things is definitely much higher than their original price!"
"Hmph! Seafood is all shells. At least half of a pound is shell. You're saying it costs 10,000 yuan per pound? If I want to eat my fill, I'd have to spend at least 100,000 yuan!" Fatty Zhu said, flicking his cigarette ash.
“Brother Fatty, I don’t want seafood to have shells either, but they can’t live without them. I’m really helpless! If you can accept that, I’ll give you some extra. For example, if you spend a million, I’ll give you a king crab. If you spend ten million, I’ll give you a pound of tobacco!” Lu Yuan said, sipping his tea.
The smile on Fatty Zhu's face finally came to an abrupt end. His face turned ashen, and he slammed his fist on the table, roaring, "Who the hell do you think you are? I'm giving you face by letting you name the price, and you dare to try and play tricks on me?!"
