【Volume 1】Lanwan 31: Black Market
CHN-3087。
The huge ship had been burned beyond recognition, and had been so tormented by the explosion that even the number on the hull could barely be recognized. The underground merchants of the present day have a soft spot for it, and the smell of decay mixed with the smell of earth is very appropriate to their lives - money and survival, fun and excitement, nothing more.
There are no regular shops here, and they only gather here at certain times on "open days", but most of them do not set up stalls to sell, but just idle together with lounge chairs and tea houses, waiting for business to come to the door.
Even if there is no beach, sea and sun, the dilapidated spaceship looks like a large resort center at this time, and there are even some small food stalls that come to take advantage of the heat, but it is impossible to say whether the stall owner is a simple chef or not.
But in addition to these people, there are also perennial guys stationed in the black market - near the ship's badly damaged engine, there is a large garbage house, full of broken copper and iron and all kinds of garbage, and it is a couple in their forties who take care of it, very sloppy;
I haven't seen them for three years, and in Qingyu's eyes, they are still the same, no different from the victims who have just fled.
"Huh? Is that you? I haven't seen this for a few years, and I almost didn't recognize it! The owner was very pleasantly surprised, and quickly wiped his hands on his apron to greet him. For men, it is difficult not to be impressed by a beautiful girl like Qingyu or a mercenary.
But for women, it doesn't always feel that way.
"Look at your disgusting look! Go, go, go! Get out of here, and straighten out the mess from yesterday, or you'll look good! The proprietress obviously didn't like her husband talking to a pretty girl, and the man was also a strict wife, so she went in with a smirk.
The proprietress showed a good face: "I haven't seen you for a long time, have you never come to Biluo to do business?" ”
"Well, I didn't have a chance to come over." Qingyu smiled and looked casually at the garbage mountain at the door, "I want to order goods, it's still the old rules." ”
"Oh, girl, the old rule is that the price was three years ago, and it has already risen."
The proprietress smiled enthusiastically, and Qingyu's face had darkened: "How much?" ”
"Now the market is sluggish, and there are few goods out. Three years ago, it was only 600, and last year it had risen to 800, and now the price is 808! ”
"What?!" Qing Yu almost felt that his ears were broken, and his face was extremely ugly. In the blue city before, in order to be cool, I said that the bullet was a thousand light baht, but now it has really risen to a thousand pounds, is God deliberately playing with her?
"No, it's too expensive! Six hundred and five! Qing Yu gritted his teeth and quoted a price, and his painful appearance before he paid for it amused Gu Nanyi.
"Boss, what kind of goods do you have in your hands now, take them out and take a look first."
"Done!" The proprietress is full of confidence, and she has never lost this kind of bargaining, but the man who is talking now always feels a little familiar, "This boss, have you been to us before?" ”
"No, I'm here for the first time today." Gu Nanyi was very sincere. The proprietress looked at it twice, but she still didn't remember, and after a while, she came out with a bullet.
The bullet is no different from three years ago, and there is also embossing on the warhead. Qing Yu really didn't understand, how could the price increase so much. And Gu Nanyi obviously saw something else:
"Boss, this batch of your old goods should be five years ago. As far as I know, the government stopped doing this kind of bullet three years ago, because there were too few guns that could match it, and it didn't want to waste resources. Although the workshops on the black market have always been made, the things are still worse than those made by the government. ”
"The things in the black workshop, the embossing of the warhead is more inferior, not as fine as these. And now you're taking out the old goods from five years ago, which means that these things can't be sold here. Isn't it too much to say that the price of things that can't be sold is still rising? ”
"We don't take the goods in a scattered way now, since you have them, we will take them all. Anyway, it's an unmarketable thing, and it's worthless to put it away, so just give it to us at the original price, and then give it a 20% discount. ”
Gu Nanyi's smile was very professional, and on his angular face, a pair of eyes stared directly at the proprietress with straight eyes. The gaze is very sharp, as if it can see through the deepest part of the human heart, which makes the proprietress feel empty:
"How can it be an old item that can't be sold, this is a new item from last year."
"Are you sure?" Gu Nanyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, becoming more and more like a confident fox, and settled on this business. Regarding the factory and origin of this batch of bullets, he said that he was inseparable from ten, and he knew several of their big customers well:
"It's all mixed up on the road, you come and go, integrity is the most important, if the bad reputation spreads, this business will be difficult to do in the future."
The proprietress dodged her gaze back and forth on Gu Nan's body, she did feel familiar with this man, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen it and what it was about. It's just that now listening to him is the way and knows the market background well, it is inevitable that he will beat the drum in his heart.
But I just relied on them......
In a dilemma, the proprietress felt that she couldn't get off the stage. They have been doing business here for ten years, and they have never been dismantled like this, and they really can't get over it.
But at this moment, the boss came out of the house with a travel bag:
"Oh, wife, you are really, the girl is also an old customer, so it's good to deal with this batch of old goods quickly." The boss smiled honestly and handed over the black bag, "Two bosses, my family is a little family, don't be like her." Come, come, count, everything is here. I can't give 20% off, just follow what the girl said, it's not easy for everyone, and we have to earn some food! ”
"You dead ghost of a loser, my mother is too lazy to care about you! Love, what's the matter! The proprietress got angry and entered the house, and also found the steps and hurried down. The bullets in the bag are also not very many, five hundred.
A total of three hundred and twenty-five thousand.
The black market only accepts cash, and although a sum of money goes out, it is enough to give Qingyu a sense of security, but the "giveaway" still has to take a little:
"Boss, I heard that the lord of Lanwan is going to inspect the Special Intelligence Department in the past two days. Other than that, does he have any other itineraries? ”
"Other trips?" The boss thought for a while, "I don't know about other itineraries, but he has secretly been to Lanyang a few times in the past two years, and it is rumored that he has had some conflicts with the city lord of Lanyang, and there are also rumors on the road that he also hired a killer, and that the Special Intelligence Department may be the killer group he wants to raise." ”
"The place of the Ministry of Special Intelligence is said to be righteous and glamorous, who knows what is going to be done behind the scenes." The boss waved his hand, not very interested in these things, "Now the information on the road is unreliable, that Gu Nanyi hasn't shown up for two years, and now the gossip is full of bells and whistles, saying that he is the most reliable, and that Gu Nanyi has died in the morning." ”
"Do you believe it?" The boss looked at the two people.
Gu Nanyi was silent, and Qing Yu smiled first: "Letter." How not to believe it. Even if that guy isn't dead now, he probably won't live long, and I've heard that someone has been hunting him down. ”
"Really?" The boss was surprised, this was the first time he had heard this statement.
The two of them left with bullets in hand, and then went to the second floor of the ship, which was full of debris and garbage, and the narrow aisles were crowded with a foul smell and a pungent smell of perfume.
The lampshade of the wall lamp on the second floor has long been damaged, and it has been replaced with a lit candlestick, and in the dim light, every two or three meters, you can see a woman in scantily clad sitting on the pile of miscellaneous things scratching her head: "Little brother, let's come once, it's very cheap." ”
"Whatever service you want, I've got it all here!"
The women accosted Gu Nan coquettishly, and the cabins on both sides of the aisle were their temporary small houses every time the market opened. Some of the cabins are badly damaged, poorly insulated, and you can still see the rudimentary curtains and swaying bed boards inside, as well as all kinds of sounds that are unbearable to the ears when passing by......
The black market is a good opportunity to make money, and no one wants to miss such an opportunity.
The space under the ship is open and can be occupied at will, but the second floor belongs to a man codenamed "Camel". No one knows the background of the camel, except that he paid for the second floor, and every time the market opened, he would rent out the rooms and aisles, or stock up or use them for other purposes.
Of course, in addition to chartering the male, the camel also has an identity.
Administrator.
The cabin at the end of the second floor used to be a storehouse, about one or two hundred square meters, and after the camel was remodeled, part of it was used as housing, and the other part became the silver number of the black market.
People on the road, there are always some money and materials that are not visible, and there is no need to use a fake identity to open an account here, but it is not real. Customers do not need to use the real-name system here, only need a corresponding account and password.
In the silver trumpet, the camel was holding a cigarette, and his thick curly beard covered half of his face like a mask. He has a gun and a combat dagger on his body all the year round, and his body and temperament are like that of a veteran who has retired from the army.
He had an old computer, and the only place in the entire black market with a separate power supply in the Silver Horn - if nothing else, just being able to get these things was enough to show that this guy had a deep background.
Light Feather entered his account number and secret on the buttoner, and after succeeding, he could clearly hear the sound of a safe behind the wall popping open. She deposited some of the bullets and the jewelry, gold and silver that had been taken from the cottage. Unloaded the burden, the whole person immediately felt much more relaxed.
Silver trumpets like this are available everywhere on the black market, and they are connected. Money and common supplies are always available wherever you are. But for things like bullets, the limitations are too great, so Light Feather will consciously reserve some in various places in case of emergency.
So, there is a reason why she needs money so much.
The exit and entrance to the black market are two places, and they didn't meet Uncle Ghost again when they left. When he saw the sunshine of the outside world again, Qing Yu found that the red-haired man was looking at him playfully:
"What, want to die?" Qing Yu was not very impatient, and wanted to pull out the gun, but Gu Nanyi grabbed his wrist first, and he was blocked by him to the wall.
