Chapter 308 Speculator
Shiliying, Laoliangsuo Internet Cafe.
The four-story building built using third-generation steel structure technology no longer looks like a greenhouse.
The whole building is like a suspension bridge, hanging from top to bottom, and is equipped with many large decorative accessories.
From a distance, it looks like a dream house in a fairy tale.
The European tourists had no time to marvel at the construction craftsmanship of Shiliying and rushed into the hall surrounded by music.
‘Away from the phantom of the mortal world, I will never forget your smile...’
‘Last night, I was looking for old dreams in the small building, and the swordsman’s love was up to me...’
‘Flowers bloom and fall in many ways, and the children of the world are also passionate...’
‘Looking at the mirror, my daughter has just grown up, and the green hair between her fingers cuts through the breeze...’
"Hello!"
"What the hell, foreigners are also here to kill legends?"
"How do I get online?"
"Sorry, I don't understand Ingrace."
"···"
Fortunately, European tourists who are accustomed to free food have mastered the survival skills of Shiliying. When they see an empty seat, they sit directly in and look for the main computer case.
However...
"Fuck, why is there no host?"
The yellow-haired young man next to him turned his head when he heard this and helped press the power button on the keyboard.
Almost at the same time, the ultra-thin monitor lit up, and Brother Long's endorsement popped up: Little Overlord, endless fun!
The yellow-haired young man pointed at the screen and put on the headset with a look of disdain, "Ayouok?"
"???"
Then I heard the yellow-haired young man shouting: "Brothers, just now, I met a group of foreigners, and they didn't even know how to turn on their mobile phones! If any of you ever tell me that overseas countries are developed again, I'll kill them!"
"···"
The European tourists sitting in the plane wanted to say that this was not a computer.
But when he dragged the mouse, he was slightly stunned because it felt silky smooth and the size was right.
Looking up at the screen, although the pixels are slightly lower, the speed of launching web pages is simply unbelievable.
What’s even more outrageous is the tactile sensation coming from your fingertips when you tap the keyboard...
“Oh~~~It’swonderful!”
The European tourist standing behind the seat slapped him over, "Are you going to fucking squirt? Log in to your email!"
"Sorry, my charge card is out of money, so I can't access the Internet here."
"Let me do it!"
finally.
European tourists are seeing their bills.
The content inside includes time, location, purchase quantity, purchase unit price, product code, consignment number...
Absolutely no problem.
Like tourists who like self-heating hot pot.
It not only asked college student volunteers to pack 1,000 sets, but also ordered a large number of supporting semi-finished vegetables, semi-finished soy products, semi-finished frozen meat, etc., and shipped them back to the country together.
As for why there are so many...
It doesn’t cost anything!
It’s also like the tourist who found the same multi-functional tool box from the European S.L mall.
I got one set for my parents, 30 sets for relatives and friends, and one set for each of the 300 employees of the company.
All it takes is for the Italian people to get one set for each of them.
Therefore, the initial credit line of US$50,000 was used up in less than one morning.
The bills generated by consumption must be repaid.
Therefore, even if the people who come to travel have some wealth, they cannot afford this kind of flowering.
So someone tried calling the trade hall customer service center.
"Hello, can I return the items I purchased?"
[Hello, this intelligent assistant will automatically match you with the corresponding customer service based on the language. ]
The 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?"
"Need to provide transaction list or bill of lading."
"Is the bill okay?"
"Bill? There seems to be no bill in the trade hall... Wait, sir, you must be a foreign tourist, right?"
"Yes!"
"Oh, I understand. I can handle returns for you, but there are some troubles. For fruits and vegetables, which are not semi-finished products, you need to bring the goods and bills to the Customer Service Center of the Trade Hall to handle returns within 4 hours. < br>
For frozen meats, you need to return the product to the customer service center within 8 hours with the product and bill.
Like clothing, shoes and hats, you need within 48 hours...
Like tools, as long as you haven't unboxed them, you can return them for a refund within 7 days without any reason.
Sir, can you understand? ”
"I understand, after all, fruits and vegetables must ensure that they do not affect secondary sales."
"Thank you for your understanding."
"But, I handled the consignment."
"Here... did you see the transport plane taking off?"
"What do I think?"
"Please contact Han Gaixi Airport Logistics Center, the phone number is..."
a little.
"Sorry sir, Sanyuan Agriculture is an enterprise that pays attention to efficiency. We have sent your goods to Itali as early as noon today. It is expected to be available for collection in the early morning tonight Eastern time."
"···"
"However, sir, please don't worry. If you decide to return the goods, we can negotiate with the European Shili Mall-Itali branch, but it has been taken over by Wal-Mart Group, so it may take time.
< br>
But you can be sure that the price you purchase is far lower than the sales price of Europe Shili Mall. If you purchase there, you will be given a certain subsidy...or in other words, you can get more money by handing the goods to them.
Of course, it's definitely not the price at Shili Mall in Europe, maybe only half of it.
But even so, you can still make some money. ”
After hearing this, the European tourists were slightly stunned.
Yes, I bought it so cheaply. Even after paying the shipping fee, the total cost is far lower than the price of the same model in Europe Shili Mall.
Even if you only sell it for half of the selling price there, you can still make a lot of money.
"No retreat!"
"Okay sir, if you have any needs, please feel free to call us."
"Thank you!"
The European tourist who was on the phone put down his phone, took a deep breath, and looked at his companions surrounding him.
"I suddenly discovered a way to make a lot of money!"
"???"
"You see, when we buy S.Y products here, we only need to spend one-third, even one-fifth, or even one-tenth of the price of the S.L mall. If we buy S.Y products here and ship them back to our country, we can let our relatives and friends My friend helped us sell it and pay off the bills, and we will continue to buy here..."
"What?!"
"Fuck!"
"Oh, genius!"
"I love you so much!"
"This suggestion is very, very beautiful!"
In fact, not all European tourists discover the problem until their charge cards are exhausted.
Some people immediately cut their losses and stopped eating and drinking after receiving the first bill.
Some immediately discovered the opportunity to make money after receiving their first bill.
Some also contacted their parents and family members on the spot and asked them to immediately sell the goods to the European Shili Mall after receiving the goods they had shipped back to their country, and then transfer the money to their charge cards for further purchases.
···
other side.
Stephen, JPMorgan’s head of European business, did not go to JPMorgan’s Shiliying branch.
Because running away for refuge is a shameful thing after all.
Therefore, he put his luggage at the Shiliying Corner Hotel, which is reserved for European tourists, and then strolled around the street happily like an old man returning home.
Waiting to pass by the old grain store...
Stephen was slightly startled when he heard the cheers of the European tourists.
‘The stall on Shiliying Street is selling the same product as S.Y? ’ ‘The price is still one-third or even one-fifth of the price in Shili Mall in Europe and the United States...’
As the business director of the Morgan Consortium in Europe, Stephen helped Sanyuan Agriculture build Shili Mall in Europe and accompanied Fan Tao to inspect the distribution progress of many malls.
Therefore, I know many S.Y products and have some impressions of the prices.
He thought for a moment and walked into the nearby Xiaobawang store.
He ignored the keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc., and looked at the hair dryer hanging on the wall.
This hair dryer is almost identical to the S.Y negative ion hair dryer endorsed by Zidane, but without the S.Y logo.
The price in Europe Shili Mall is 1288 euros.
The price here is 3888 red notes.
In 2002, the U.S. dollar collided with the euro, 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 7.5 exchange rate, the price here is almost equivalent to 518 euros.
If you include the average import tariffs of European countries, and then include transportation fees, value-added tax, and various expenses are equally shared...
Selling for 1,000 euros in Europe, he can earn 200 euros.
If you set up a company, you can do some tax avoidance operations...
Stephen thought about this and suddenly remembered the news shared by the intelligence system some time ago.
It is said that Shilibing Subdistrict plans to sew together with Liaoshi and build more than 20 bridges across the Yellow River.
This move caused a lot of discussion in overseas media and also had many negative effects.
Later, Dongfang ordered Shiliying to change the statistical method, and the matter was settled.
However, behind this matter, it has nothing to do with GDP and statistical methods.
The main reason is that Yu Sanyuan planned to build an "entrepot trade zone" in Liaoshi, but was restricted by regulations and could not expand it, so the GDP incident occurred.
This 'entrepot trade zone' not only allows certain goods that are subject to export duties in the East to be exempted from tax, high-quality companies can also receive a percentage rebate of total exports at the end of the year.
The Morgan consortium has no interest in doing this business and will not do this business.
But he, Stephen, was very interested.
Especially when shopping between U.S. dollars and Euros, no matter who wins or loses, the exchange rates between the two will not be stable.
Looking back at the East, joining the WTO, successfully bidding for the Olympic Games, and football has rushed out of Asia...
If you transfer your personal capital to the East, it will not only maintain its value, but also appreciate.
The most important thing is that making money with Yu Sanyuan is very stable!
Stephen thought for a long time and walked towards Shiliying Electronics Industrial Park.
As one of the world's top professional managers who came from the Morgan consortium, he will not personally resell third-series products, let alone lead such transactions, or even promote or help similar things.
What he wants to do is invest.
Find an Eastern grassroots man with fighting spirit and let him become his worker... no, his investment target.
As for why not invest in European tourists...
Yu Sanyuan struggled through Italy, found a flight to the United Arab Emirates, and then transferred to the oil country. He arranged for five high-performance MiG-25s to escort the flight to Pakistan, and then entrusted the Eastern Air Force to continue the escort.
If you add in what these tourists are discussing and the 'entrepot trade zone' that Sanyuan Agriculture has prepared in advance, it means that what is happening in front of you 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 can't mess with Yu Sanyuan's plan, we can only pick up some scraps.
a little.
Stephen came to the Electronics Industrial Park Wholesale Market.
This is the centralized external business area of three series electronics OEM companies.
Just like Sanxin Electronics Factory.
It mainly supplies various screen panels to Xiangjiang Sanyuan Technology Group.
If there is no order from Xiangjiang, it can also OEM for outside parties, or even design its own products and sell them itself.
But if Xiangjiang places an order, it will suspend all business between itself and the outside world and give priority to supplying Xiangjiang.
Because the technology, materials, equipment, personnel, etc. used by this electronics factory all come from third-line companies.
The screen is like this, the keyboard is like this, the mouse, headphones, three-series USB flash drives, three-series CDs, three-series memory sticks, three-series voltage regulators, etc. are all the same.
Therefore, the scale of the electronics industrial zone is like a super large city, stretching from Han Gaixi to Puyang.
The people doing business here are not only electronics factory sales departments, electronics factory authorized distributors, electronics factory authorized dealers, but also many young people who can't find jobs and hope to make money by reselling electronic products.
Some of them have no diplomas, some are college students, and some are real returnees from overseas.
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 just want to make quick money. They use their little knowledge of electronic technology to talk and talk, and they also hope to get an order from the boss from the south.
The real returnees have some skills, but because of their reputation, they cannot shout or sell. They can only attract orders through 'young people without diplomas' and 'college students', and then deal with the final steps with the southern boss to finalize the deal. Place an order and find a manufacturer for OEM.
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 reincarnation exists in many places in this world.
North America is relatively developed. What happened in the past will inevitably happen in the East as it becomes more developed.
Stephen didn't look for overseas returnees, let alone college students. Instead, he came to a stall with advertisements such as 'home appliance repair, computer dust cleaning, system installation, and memory expansion'.
The stall owner is a young man who is using an all-in-one keyboard machine to copy movie discs.
He is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a straight face, which is considered a positive image in the East.
This is also the reason why Stephen chose the other party.
"Hello, old gentleman, what do you need?"
"I can speak Chinese."
Old Morgan watched Dream of Red Mansions. Although his direct subordinates did not have time to watch it, they at least wanted to learn some Chinese.
Otherwise, she will be like an old lady who is worse than an old lady from the Texas countryside, always confused by four-character idioms.
Stephen picked up a USB flash drive and said, "Young man, what is the maximum capacity of this kind of thing?"
"Do you want it labeled or not?"
Labeling means that the product contains manufacturer information, but not labeling is a three-no product.
"How to say?"
"The label is a real capacity. It uses flash memory technology and can reach up to 256M. The transmission speed is about 12.5MB/s. The usual price is about 580 red notes.
The unlabeled capacity is a bit unrealistic. It also uses flash memory technology. It is actually 64M, but the test result is 256M. It also has many bad sectors and poor quality. The transmission speed is about 6.8Mb/s. The usual price is 120 red notes. Of course, if you have requirements, I can also label you with 'fake labels', each of which requires a 2% handling fee. ”
"What an honest kid. I need 200 labeled 256M. When can I deliver it?"
"That's it today."
"Okay, help me send it to room 502 of the Corner Tower Hotel."
After Stephen finished speaking, he took out the business card of Bain Capital Investment Consultants.
This company was co-founded by him and Romney, and it is somewhat famous internationally.
(Romney: Republican faction, born in Boston conglomerate, founder of Bain Capital - Bain Capital investment return rate 113%, chief and CEO of the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee in 2002, served as governor of Massachusetts at the end of 2002, ran for North American general manager in 2008 Failed, failed to run for North American General Manager in 2012, abstained from voting in 2016, and gave the opportunity to Cornhead)
"If you have any questions during the stocking process, you can contact me at any time."
"Yes sir."
···
Xintai Data Center.
"This old thing is quite interesting."
Yu Yang looked at the scene of Stephen using bad street tricks to fool the children, and a person from another time and space appeared in his mind at the wailing wall in Israel.
Although the kid can't match the other's starting height, with the help of the Morgan consortium, becoming the richest man in the East will definitely not be a problem in the future.
Immediately, Yu Yang thought of more similar people.
"Could it be that after our company transferred its share of the Eastern market, the plot has reached the stage of separation among the heroes?"
"Then what are we?"
"Master Dong?"
"No, Master Dong is in Dongshan Mansion."
Yu Yang looked at the time and saw that New Year's Eve was in four days, so he simply contacted Lao Dong and made an appointment at the sauna city.
Unexpectedly, just after making the call, the front desk of the International Convention Center informed me that Lao Bu and Lao Smith had organized a delegation to visit the East.
Only then did Yu Yang remember that in order to keep the old Walton, he had made an appointment to have a chat with the two families.
In fact, there was nothing to talk about. We just asked Old Walton to take the business jet back with Old Boo and Old Smith.
At that time, who dares to fight down?
Chang Fu also thought about this, "Master, aren't you afraid that after the business plane takes off, Old Bu and Old Smith will join forces to push Old Walton off the plane?"
"Huh?"
"Or maybe Old Boo and Old Smith let Old Walton crash with the business plane, and then later declare that there were only two sets of parachutes on the plane."
Hearing this, Yu Yang fell into deep thought.
Because it's not impossible.
