Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Fishing (3)
Seeing more and more fish being washed away, Yao Ran decided to continue fishing. When her fish pond is full, she will put the fish into the basin and store them in the warehouse.

After two hours of fishing, she decided to return to land. She put away the fishing boat and fishing machine. Then, she filled up twenty garbage bags with fish and put them under the tree together with the other bags.

When Long Yu and the others returned, they found that more bags had been placed under the tree.

Yao Ran smiled and calmly said, “I saw a lot of fish drifting downstream, so I went there to catch them.”

After hearing what she said, Huang Qian gave her a thumbs-up, and they continued to transport and exchange fish. After several trips back and forth, there were only five more bags of fish left.

When they came back, Huang Qian said excitedly, “Yao Ran, we are lucky.”

Yao Ran raised her eyebrows and asked, “What happened?”

Huang Qian sat down to rest under a tree and explained, “When we were transporting fish, we met a group of soldiers. When they saw the fish, they told us that the government had set up a marketplace so that citizens could trade things.”

“We can also sell fish directly to the government at the department store, but the price is not as high as what Yuan Rihui gave us. The marketplace does not charge any entrance fees, and troublemakers will be punished by military law.”

Yao Ran listened for a long time and asked, “Then what good things did you encounter?”

Without waiting for Huang Qian to answer, Shi Xuan said, “We met Quan Yuanwei’s colleague on the way back. They chatted for a while, and his colleague said he has coal and gasoline and is willing to trade fish with coal and gasoline.”

Hearing this, Yao Ran’s eyes lit up. In the extreme cold, coal and gasoline are vital supplies that can save lives. If they could stockpile them, she could openly take out what she had hoarded before and use them openly.

After thinking for a while, Yao Ran asked, “What is the exchange rate?”

Long Yu replied, “Three kilograms of fish can be exchanged for one kilogram of coal or one liter of gasoline.”

The exchange rate is low, but you can catch a lot of fish in a day. Yao Ran thought about it and nodded. “I have no objection.”

After hearing what she said, Long Yu added, “Except for Quan Yuanwei and Sima Yun’s share, we will exchange all the fish for coal and gasoline.”

Yao Ran was not surprised that the two of them wanted the fish. Everyone but her and her friends were starving, and when they had the chance to stock up on food, no one was willing to trade it for coal or gasoline, which was inedible.

After Yao Ran packed up, they left Anyuan Reservoir with the remaining fish. The motorboat and two inflatable boats were loaded with supplies and fish when they left the reservoir.

In the darkness of the night, three boats sailed towards an office building and stopped in a secluded corner. Not long after, two more motorboats arrived.

After the two motorboats stopped two meters away from them, Quan Yuanwei saw his colleague and asked, “Si Han, have you brought the goods?”

Si Han motioned to another person to open the cover. Afterward, he took out a piece of coal, pumped out a small bottle of gasoline from the oil barrel, and handed it to Quan Yuanwei.

“Our coal is smokeless and can burn for 12 hours. The gasoline is pure and free of impurities. You can check it.”

Quan Yuanwei did not reach out to check the coal or gasoline but turned to look at Long Yu. Seeing this, Si Han looked at Long Yu thoughtfully.

Quan Yuanwei was his boss when they worked at the Institute of Physics and second only to the director of the Institute of Physics. Si Han was quite surprised to see this proud man accepting orders from someone younger than himself.

After Long Yu checked the coal and gasoline, he nodded. Quan Yuanwei smiled at Si Han and said, “Let’s make an exchange.”

They exchanged the fish for coal and gasoline, and the transaction was completed in a few minutes.

Looking at Quan Yuanwei, Si Han asked, “Brother Quan, do you still have fish?”

Quan Yuanwei asked, “How much do you want?”

Si Han thought for a while and said, “How about we trade nine thousand kilograms of fish every two days?”

The exchange rate is three kilograms of fish for one kilogram of coal or one liter of gasoline. In this case, they can obtain large amounts of coal and gasoline with each transaction.

Quan Yuanwei did not answer him but asked Long Yu, “Brother Long, what do you think?”

Long Yu looked at Si Han and said, “If you want more fish, we can trade again tomorrow. However, you can only bring two people with you. Otherwise, the deal is over.”

The Anyuan Reservoir is already overflowing, and Long Yu doesn’t know when the reservoir will burst. Once the reservoir breaks, the water level will rise, and there will no longer be any chance to catch fish.

They were in a hurry, and Long Yu didn’t want to waste time with Si Han. If they want fish, they have to follow his rules.

Si Han thought for a while and nodded, “Deal.”

After the negotiation ended, the two parties parted ways.

When Shi Xuan drove back to Ling Yuan’s apartment complex, he was very cautious. He didn’t drive into the community until Long Yu told him that no one was following them.

After arriving at Building 3, they quietly moved supplies upstairs.

Because Quan Yuanwei built the fishing machine, he could take five percent of the supplies and his share of the fish. Sima Yun could only take two percent of the supplies and his share of fish because he did not contribute materials or skills.
