Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 308 Speculators

Shiliying, Laoliangso Internet Cafe.

The four-story building built with third-generation steel structure technology no longer looks like a greenhouse.

The whole structure is like a suspension bridge, hanging the entire building from top to bottom, and is matched with many large-scale decorations.

From a distance, it looks like a dream house in a fairy tale.

The European tourists had no time to admire the construction craftsmanship of Shiliying and rushed into the hall surrounded by music.

'Far from the illusions of the world, I can't forget your smile...'

'Last night I was looking for old dreams in a small building, and I was free to follow my swordsmanship...'

'Flowers bloom and fall, and the people of Jianghu are also sentimental...'

'Looking in the mirror, my daughter has grown up, her black hair is as sharp as the wind...'

"Hello there!"

"What the hell, foreigners are also here to kill legends?"

"Excuse me, how do I get online?"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand Ingres."

"···"

Fortunately, the European tourists who were used to eating and getting things for free had already mastered the survival skills of Shiliying. When they saw an empty seat, they would sit down directly and look for the main chassis.

However···

"Fuck, why is there no host?"

A yellow-haired young man who was playing Legendary games nearby turned his head and helped press the power button on the keyboard.

Almost at the same time, the ultra-thin display lit up, and Long Ge’s endorsement popped up: Xiaobawang, endless fun!
The yellow-haired young man pointed at the screen and put on the headset with a look of contempt, "A you ok?"

"???"

Then the yellow-haired young man shouted, "Brothers, just now I met a group of foreigners who didn't know how to turn on their phones! If anyone tells me that overseas countries are prosperous again, I'll kill him!"

"···"

European tourists sitting in the seats would like to say that this is not a computer.

But when dragging the mouse, it was slightly stunned, because it felt smooth and the size was just right.

Looking up at the screen, although the pixels are slightly low, the speed of launching the web page is incredibly fast.

What's even more outrageous is that when I type on the keyboard, I feel the touch from my fingertips...
"Oh~~~It's wonderful!"

The European tourist standing behind the seat slapped him, "Are you going to rant? Log into your email now!"

"Sorry, my debit card is out of money and I can't access the internet here."

"It's my turn!"

at last.

European tourists saw their shopping bills.

The content includes time, place, purchase quantity, purchase price, product code, shipping number...

There is absolutely no problem.

Just like tourists who like self-heating hot pot.

Not only did it ask college student volunteers to pack 1000 sets, it also ordered a large number of matching semi-finished vegetables, semi-finished bean products, semi-finished frozen meats, etc., and shipped them back to the country together.

As for why there are so many...

It doesn’t cost any money!

It’s also like the tourists who found the same multi-purpose toolbox in the European SL Mall.

I got one set for my parents, 30 sets for my relatives and friends, and one set for each of the 300 employees in the company.

All that’s left is to give one set to every Italian person.

Therefore, the initial credit line of US$5 was used up in less than one morning.

And the bills generated by consumption must be repaid.

Therefore, even if the people who come here to travel have some wealth, they cannot afford to spend money in this way.

So someone tried calling the Trade Hall Customer Service Center.

"Hello, can I return the items I purchased?"

[Hello, this smart assistant will automatically match you with the corresponding customer service according to the language.]
next second.

"Yes sir."

"Great, I bought a lot of things this morning and I plan to return them all. What do I need to provide?"

"A transaction list or bill of lading is required."

“Can I have the bill?”

"Bill? There seems to be no bill in the trade hall... Wait, sir, you should be a foreign tourist, right?"

"Yes!"

"Oh, I see. I can process the return for you, but it's a bit troublesome. For fruits and vegetables that are not semi-finished products, you need to bring the goods and bill to the customer service center in the trade hall within 4 hours to process the return.

For items like frozen meat, you need to return the item to the customer service center within 8 hours, along with the item and bill.

Like clothing, shoes and hats, you need to deliver them within 48 hours...

For tools, as long as you don't unpack them, you can return them and get a refund within 7 days without any reason.

Sir, do you understand?"

"I understand. After all, fruits and vegetables must not affect secondary sales."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"But I handled the consignment."

"Hey... have you seen the transport plane take off?"

"What do I think?"

"Please contact Hangaixi Airport Logistics Center, the phone number is..."

a little.

"Sorry, sir. Sanyuan Agriculture is a company that emphasizes efficiency. We have already delivered your products to Italy at noon today. You can expect to receive them at midnight tonight, Eastern Time."

"···"

"But sir, please don't worry. If you are sure you want to return the goods, we can negotiate with the European Ten Mile Mall-Italy Branch, but that branch has been taken over by the Walmart Group, so it may take time.

But you can be sure that the price you buy is much lower than the selling price of the European Ten Mile Mall. If you purchase there, you will be given a certain subsidy... or in other words, you can get more money if you hand over the goods to them.

Of course, it is definitely not the price in the European Ten Mile Mall, maybe only half of it.

But even so, you still make money.”

After hearing this, the European tourists were slightly stunned.

Yes, I bought it so cheaply that even after paying for shipping, the total cost was much lower than the price of the same product in the European Ten Mile Mall.

Even if you only sell it for half of the price over there, you can still make a lot of money.

"No more retreat!"

"Okay sir, if you need anything, please feel free to call me."

"Thank you!"

The European tourist who was making a phone call put down his phone, took a deep breath, and looked at his companions who were surrounding him.

"I suddenly found a way to make a lot of money!"

"???"

"Look, we only need to spend one-third, one-fifth, or even one-tenth of the price of SL Mall to buy SY products here. If we buy SY products here, ship them back to China, and let our relatives and friends help us sell them, and then use the money to pay the bills, we will continue to buy here..."

"What?!"

"Fuck!"

"Oh, genius!"

"I love you to death!"

“This suggestion is very, very beautiful!”

In fact, not all European tourists realize the problem until their debit cards are exhausted.

Some people stop losing money immediately after receiving the first bill and stop eating and drinking lavishly.

Some saw an opportunity to make money immediately after receiving their first bill.

Some also contacted their parents and family members on the spot and asked them to sell the goods they had shipped back to China to the European Ten Mile Mall immediately, and then transfer the money to their own account cards for further purchases.

···
the other side.

Stephen, head of JPMorgan Chase's European business, did not go to JPMorgan Chase's Shiliying branch.

Because running for refuge is a shameful thing after all.

So, he left his luggage at the Shiliying Corner Hotel, which is exclusively for European tourists, and then strolled leisurely on the street like an old man returning home.

When passing by the old grain station...
Stephen was slightly stunned when he heard the cheers of the European tourists.

"The stalls on Shiliying Street are actually selling the same products as SY? "The price is still one-third or even one-fifth of the price in the European and American Shili Mall..."

As the business director of Morgan Consortium in Europe, Stephen helped Sanyuan Agriculture build the Shili Mall in Europe, and also accompanied Fan Tao to inspect the distribution progress of many malls.

Therefore, I got to know many SY products and had some impression of the prices.

He thought for a moment and walked into the Subor store next door.

His eyes passed over the keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc. and looked at the hair dryer hanging on the wall.

This hair dryer is almost identical to the SY negative ion hair dryer endorsed by Zidane, except that it does not have the SY logo.

The price at European Ten Mile Mall is 1288 Euros.

The price here is 3888 red banknotes.

In 02, the US dollar and the euro collided violently, and the euro exchange rate was extremely unstable. Sometimes 1 euro could be exchanged for 6.7 red notes, and sometimes it could be exchanged for 8.2 red notes.

If calculated based on the exchange rate of 7.5, the selling price here is roughly equivalent to 518 Euros.

If we take into account the average import tariffs of European countries, and then take into account the transportation costs, value-added tax, and various other expenses...

If it sells for 1000 euros in Europe, he can make 200 euros.

If you set up a business and then do some tax avoidance operations...

When Stephen thought of this, he suddenly remembered the information shared by the intelligence system some time ago.

It is said that Shiliying Street is planning to be integrated with Liaoshi City and more than 20 bridges will be built across the Yellow River.

This move caused a lot of discussion in overseas media and also produced many adverse effects.

Later, Dongfang ordered Shiliying to change the statistical method, and the matter was finally settled.

However, the story behind this has nothing to do with GDP and statistical methods.

The main reason was that Yu Sanyuan planned to set up a 'transit trade zone' in Liao City, but due to regulatory restrictions, he was unable to expand it, which led to the GDP incident.

This "entrepot trade zone" not only allows certain goods that "must pay export tariffs in the East" to be tax-free, but high-quality companies can also receive a percentage rebate on the total export volume at the end of the year.

The Morgan Consortium is not interested in doing this business and will not do this business.

But Stephen was very interested.

Especially when the US dollar and the euro compete with each other, no matter who wins or loses, the exchange rate of the two will not be stable.

Looking at the East, China joined the WTO, successfully applied for the Olympic Games, and football broke out of Asia...

If personal capital is transferred to the East, it can not only maintain its value but also increase in value.

The most important thing is that making money with Yu Sanyuan is very stable!

Stephen thought for a long time and walked towards the Shiliying Electronic Industrial Park.

As one of the world's top professional managers from the Morgan Consortium, he would not resell the three-series products himself, nor would he take the lead in managing such business, nor would he even promote or help similar things.

What he wants to do is invest.

Find an oriental grassroots with fighting spirit and make him your employee... no, make him your investment object.

As for why we don’t invest in European tourists…
Yu Sanyuan went through great pains to find an Emirates flight through Italy, then transferred to an oil-producing country and arranged five high-performance MiG-5s to escort the flight to Pakistan, and then entrusted the Eastern Air Force to continue the escort.

If we add what these tourists are discussing and the 'entrepot trade zone' that Sanyuan Agriculture has prepared in advance, it means that what is happening now is one of Yu Sanyuan's plans.

Stephen didn't want to get involved, otherwise old Morgan might not be able to keep him.

Therefore, we cannot disrupt Yu Sanyuan's plan and can only take some scraps.

a little.

Stephen came to the Electronic Industrial Park Wholesale Market.

This is the external business area of ​​three series of electronic OEM enterprises.

Just like Sanxin Electronics Factory.

It mainly supplies various screen panels to Hong Kong Sanyuan Technology Group.

If there is no order from Hong Kong, it can also do OEM for outsiders, or even design its own products and sell them itself.

But if Hong Kong gives it an order, it will suspend all its own and external businesses and give priority to supplying Hong Kong.

Because the technology, materials, equipment, personnel, etc. used by this electronics factory all come from three series of enterprises.

The same goes for the screen, keyboard, mouse, headphones, three-series USB flash drive, three-series optical disk, three-series memory stick, three-series voltage stabilizer, and so on.

Therefore, the scale of the electronics industry zone is like a super-large city, stretching from Hangai west to Puyang.

Those doing business here include not only the sales departments of electronics factories, authorized distributors of electronics factories, and authorized dealers of electronics factories, but also many young people who cannot find jobs and hope to make money by reselling electronic products.

Some of them do not have a diploma, some are college students, and some are true returnees.

These young people without diplomas and almost no connections can only spend money to buy some electronic products, set up a simple stall, and then shout and sell, hoping to get an order from the boss from the south.

College students are just trying to make quick money. Relying on their basic knowledge of electronic technology, they talk eloquently and also hope to get an order from the boss from the south.

The real returnees have some skills, but they will not shout out to sell their products due to face. They can only attract orders through "young people without diplomas" and "college students", and then connect with the southern bosses for the final link, finally finalize the orders and find manufacturers to do the work.

As for why Stephen knows so much...

North America also came this way.

But that happened twenty or thirty years ago.

So sometimes you will find that there is 'reincarnation' in many places in this world.

North America is more developed, and similar things that happened in the past will inevitably happen in the East as it becomes more developed.

Stephen did not look for overseas returnees, nor did he look for college students. Instead, he came to a stall with slogans such as "home appliance repair, computer dust cleaning, system installation, memory expansion" and so on.

The stall owner is a young man who is using an all-in-one keyboard machine to copy movie discs.

He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a regular face, which was considered a positive image in the East.

This is also the reason why Stephen chose the other party.

"Hello, old man, what can I do for you?"

“I can speak Chinese.”

Old Morgan read Dream of the Red Chamber. Although his direct subordinates didn't have time to read it, they at least had to learn some Chinese.

Otherwise, you'll be like an old lady who's not even as good as an old woman in the Texas countryside, always confused by four-character idioms.

Stephen picked up a USB flash drive and said, "Hey, young man, what's the maximum capacity of this thing?"

"Would you like it labeled or unlabeled?"

Labels contain manufacturer information, while unlabeled products are "three-no" products.

"How to say?"

“The label is a real capacity, using flash memory technology, the maximum can reach 256M, the transmission speed is about 12.5MB/s, and the usual price is about 580 red notes.

The capacity of the unlabeled one is a bit fake. It also uses flash memory technology, and the actual capacity is 64M, but the test shows 256M. It has many bad sectors and poor quality. The transmission speed is about 6.8Mb/s. It is usually sold for 120 red notes. Of course, if you have a request, I can also give you a 'fake label', and each one will cost 2% of the handling fee. "

"What an honest kid. I need a 200M with a label for 256 yuan. When can it be delivered?"

"That's it today."

"Okay, take me to room 502 of the Corner Tower Hotel."

Stephen finished speaking and took out the business card of Bain Capital Investment Advisor.

This company was co-founded by him and Romney and has some international fame.

(Romney: Republican faction, from Boston financial group, founder of Bain Capital - Bain Capital's investment return rate is 113%, Chief and CEO of Salt Lake City Olympic Committee in 02, Governor of Massachusetts at the end of 02, failed in the election for North American Governor in 08, failed in the election for North American Governor in 12, abstained in 16 and gave the opportunity to Cornhead.)
"If you have any questions during the stocking period, please feel free to contact me."

"Ok sir."

···
Xintai Data Center.

“This old thing is quite interesting.”

As Yu Yang watched Stephen using a common trick to fool the kids, a person from another time and space at the Wailing Wall in Israel emerged in his mind.

Although the kid cannot match the other's starting height, with the help of the Morgan Consortium, it will definitely not be a problem for him to become the richest man in the East in the future.

Yu Yang immediately thought of more similar people.

"Has it been a long time since we transferred our market share in the East? Has the story reached the stage of warlords fighting for power?"

"Then what are we?"

"Master Dong?"

"No, Grand Tutor Dong is in Dongshan Mansion."

Yu Yang looked at the time and saw that there were still four days until New Year's Eve, so he simply contacted his boss and made an appointment to meet in Sauna City.

Unexpectedly, just after I finished the call, the front desk of the International Conference Center informed me that Old Bush and Old Smith were heading a group to visit the East.

Yu Yang then remembered that in order to save old Walton, he had arranged a talk with the two families.

Actually, there was nothing much to talk about, just to let old Walton go back with old Bush and old Smith on a business jet.

Who will dare to take it down then?
Chang Fu also thought of this, "Boss, aren't you afraid that after the business jet takes off, Old Bush and Old Smith will team up and push Old Walton off the plane?"

"Ok?"

"Or maybe Bryan and Smith let Walton crash with the business jet, and then later declare that there were only two parachutes on the plane."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang fell into deep thought.

Because it's not impossible.
