I would propose a deal to the nearby settlement that includes offering 20 gallons of our purified water, 20 lbs of dried vegetables, 15 lbs of grains, and a limited supply of our emergency medical supplies. I would emphasize the medical supplies' importance in a post-apocalyptic world and emphasize our community's expertise in treating injuries, which could potentially save lives. By demonstrating the value of the diversified resources and potential collaboration on medical expertise, I hope to establish a mutually beneficial trade relationship.
Current resources: 20 gallons of purified water, 40 lbs of dried vegetables, 30 lbs of grains, emergency medical supplies
You are a skilled negotiator in a post-apocalyptic world where resources are scarce. A nearby settlement has agreed to trade 50 gallons of water, but our community does not have enough food to meet their demands. How do you persuasively present an alternative offer to establish a fair trade?
