C852 Pricing
"Exchange for food?"
Wang Yi suddenly interrupted him and looked at him narrowly.
"Right, right, right. Exchange, exchange for food."
For some reason, when facing Wang Yi, Chen De felt like everything had been seen through, and even his speech became a bit constrained.
"Oh, then what price do you plan on exchanging?"
Wang Yi nodded in realization and asked.
"One bullet, exchange, exchange for one catty of food …" Chen De extended his trembling finger. Previously, he was very strong against Xu Liqiang, but when facing Wang Yi, he didn't dare to show any arrogance.
"A bullet for a catty of grain?" Wang Yi shook his head and clicked his tongue.
"It looks like you don't know. All the food in our gathering area was brought back by the soldiers with their lives on the line. Isn't this price a bit too …"
Wang Yi said as he shook his head.
"The price is already very low. After all, for us, bullets are …"
"Do you represent the gathering place or yourself!"
Wang Yi suddenly interrupted Chen De and asked.
"Of course not, I'm just a normal businessman." Chen De hurriedly said.
His main purpose for coming here was to gather information and prepare to annex Grand Green Mountain. As for food, it was also very important, but it was not the top priority right now.
As long as he absorbed all the food he could get from the Grand Green Mountain, there would still be a lot.
"Alright, since you are acting on your own behalf, you should be able to discuss the terms of the exchange, right?" Wang Yi took a sip of his tea.
"Of course we can discuss it with each other. Is it a business deal …?" Just as Chen De opened his mouth, he was interrupted again by Wang Yi.
"Alright, since we can discuss this, then let me tell you my opinion. One catty of food for ten rifle bullets, under the same conditions, for one heavy machine gun bullet, 10 catties of food for one grenade, and 100 catties of food for one artillery shell."
After Wang Yi said this, he put down his teacup and asked the shocked Chen De.
"Mr. Chen, do you think my conditions are reasonable?"
"W-what?"
Chen De came back to his senses and looked at Wang Yi as if he had seen a ghost.
It wasn't that Wang Yi was too harsh on the price, but this price was exactly the same as what his leader had said.
Chen De had actually set a price for the item himself, in order to get a kickback from it.
However, how would he know that Wang Yi was already an old fox in the apocalypse.
Weapons were still useful at the beginning of the apocalypse, but one catty of food for ten rifle bullets was already expensive enough. In the middle to late apocalypse, bullets and other firearms were completely ineffective against zombies. At that time, even if Wang Yi were to exchange one catty of food for one hundred bullets, Wang Yi might not even consider it.
"What? Are you not satisfied with the price?" Wang Yi frowned and asked as he looked at the red-faced Chen De.
"Of course, of course I'm not satisfied!"
Chen De clenched his teeth and said.
"Chief Wang, I risked my life to steal these ammunition from the Lianfeng Mountain, there's no need for you to give me such a small price, right?"1
"Military Plant!"
Wang Wang Yi and the others could not help but shout out in surprise.
"What did you say? You're saying that the one in the Lianfeng Mountain isn't an armory, it's the Military Plant!"
Yang Bing asked excitedly.
"Oh no, how did he say this out loud!"
Chen De couldn't help but curse silently in his heart. He didn't pay attention to Yang Bing's words and actually revealed his entire family's wealth. Fortunately, he didn't realize the meaning behind Yang Bing's words.
Or else, what surprised him was how Wang Yi and the others knew about the circumstances of the arsenal in Lianfeng Mountain.
"Cough, cough, in that case, what price do you want to exchange?" Wang Yi coughed lightly, signaling everyone not to speak.
"En..." How about we exchange two bullets for one catty of food? "
Chen Yun said carefully, afraid that he would be quick to say something and let the rest of his Lianfeng Mountain go.
"Nine crystals, I can't lose any more." Wang Yi shook his head.
Chen De's face became troubled. Although he had come here with the mission of gathering the leaders of the Lianfeng Mountain, at the end of the day, most of the humans in the apocalypse were still very selfish. Of course, he wanted to earn some profit from this.
However, if the nine bullets were to be exchanged for a jin of grain, then he would have to travel a hundred kilometers to reach this place. It would not be worth it.
"How about this, don't bargain with me, Chief Wang, five bullets, one catty of food."
Chen De said while clenching his teeth. With this concession, at least half of the kickbacks he could get would be reduced.
After all, there wasn't much food left in the area where Lianfeng Mountain were gathering.
"Alright, since you're so straightforward, let's do it this way." Wang Yi nodded and agreed to his request.
This made Chen De very happy. Although the price was much higher than what he had expected, but even so, he was still able to get a decent profit.
