Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 409: Securing the Big Order

After Manager Xu’s hint, there was no contact from the Saudi royal family for the next few days.

However, the aquaculture technicians called by Chen Yiyang from home came to report after their inspection tour in Saudi Arabia.

"In this country, both the east and west sides are along the coast, and Jeddah Port near the Persian Gulf cannot engage in aquaculture.

But their geographic location near the Red Sea is quite good. The climate is suitable, the water temperature is appropriate, and the average wave height is less than a meter, which is entirely feasible for aquaculture.

The only issue is that the high salinity of the Red Sea’s seawater places high demands on the equipment used in aquaculture."

"There is no problem transporting all the farming equipment directly from home, right?"

"No problem." The technician nodded, "We already have a well-established team. Once dispatched, and the equipment is in place, we can start immediately upon arrival."

"Okay, got it." Chen Yiyang nodded.

Doing aquaculture business in Saudi Arabia looks promising for the time being, it seems to be a good investment project.

Of course, it will still take two to three years before this project starts generating profits.

Currently, Chen Yiyang still needs to rely on big orders for drones and robotic dogs to make money.

On the fourth day after Chen Yiyang handed over the Blue Diamond to the Saudi officials,

Kasim sent someone to invite Chen Yiyang for a visit.

This time, the visit was to Kasim’s home.

As a confidant of the Saudi Dynasty, Kasim’s abode is quite luxurious, almost like a standalone manor.

After entering, Kasim even introduced Chen Yiyang to a tiger he keeps at home.

The tiger wasn’t even chained, just roaming freely in Kasim’s courtyard.

"This tiger was given to me by an American friend." Kasim briefly explained the tiger’s origin.

"Then it’s not surprising," Chen Yiyang said, "As far as I know, more than half the lions in the world are kept in the backyards of Americans."

"Yes, it’s great you know that, my friend," Kasim said, "Those European and American journalists always attack us, saying we are not environmentally friendly for keeping wild animals at home.

But there are only over three thousand wild tigers in the world, while over ten thousand tigers are kept in the backyards of American tycoons.

This is really unfair, and there are never any journalists attacking them, they only criticize us instead."

The two quickly bonded through their mutual criticism of European and American journalists.

Kasim hosted Chen Yiyang in the reception room and then said, "The Blue Diamond you sent the other day has been authenticated as the one that our Saudi royal family lost. Now that it has returned, the Crown Prince is very happy."

"I am also honored to return such a rare gem back to its rightful owners."

"To thank you, the Crown Prince invites you to attend a banquet he is hosting three days later."

While speaking, Kasim handed an invitation to Chen Yiyang.

Chen Yiyang accepted the invitation but didn’t show much happiness on his face.

Knowing that the Blue Diamond was worth several hundred million, Kasim still hadn’t offered him any benefits after he returned it.

However, it was clear that Kasim wanted to clarify the terms with Chen Yiyang before the Crown Prince’s banquet to avoid any misunderstandings later.

"Regarding the drone and robotic dog business we discussed earlier, the Saudi military is willing to place an order of around one billion Saudi Riyals with you."

One billion Saudi Riyals is about 1.9 billion RMB.

This order, honestly, is not small at all.

If this order is fulfilled well, future cooperation with the Saudis can continue.

"My company usually deals in civilian products and doesn’t have direct dealings with the military."

Chen Yiyang told Kasim, "So I hope there can be a local intermediary from Saudi Arabia for this transaction."

"An intermediary?" Kasim twisted the ring on his finger and said, "If you need an intermediary, I can have someone open a company specifically for this connection, but the commission won’t be small."

"No problem." Chen Yiyang didn’t hesitate to nod.

This requirement not only removed him from the arms deal but also gave Kasim a disguised benefit.

After all, a billion Saudi Riyals order, if an intermediary takes a cut, it would be millions in profit.

"If there’s an intermediary, what about the follow-up maintenance of those robotic dogs and drones?" Kasim continued to ask.

The original plan was for the Saudi military to deal directly with Chen Yiyang, clearly outlining in the contract whose responsibility the maintenance and repair would be.

But now, with the involvement of an intermediary, there would naturally be disputes regarding after-sales responsibilities.

"I’m preparing to establish a company in the Zhongsha Special Economic Zone specializing in after-sales maintenance for drones and robotic dogs. That way, the military can sign a separate contract with the maintenance company."

"Then this transaction will also have to go through my intermediary company." Kasim instantly understood that Chen Yiyang wanted to make extra through after-sales maintenance and wanted a piece of the action.

"Okay." Chen Yiyang nodded.

Kasim’s villa didn’t come out of nowhere. This guy has a good reputation externally, and presumably, few would challenge his way of doing things.

Since Chen Yiyang proposed it, he might as well seize the opportunity to take enough benefits in one go.

"Do you have any other requests?" Kasim continued to ask.

The military order is just the most basic transaction. If Chen Yiyang has additional requests, Saudi Arabia will respond to them based on the situation.

"I have an electric vehicle company under my name, and although the first model hasn’t been completed yet, it’s almost there. I hope my automotive company can gain market access in Saudi Arabia."

"No problem." On this point, Kasim agreed very readily.

Saudi Arabia doesn’t have an electric vehicle industry, so granting market access to anyone is the same, so Kasim easily agreed to this point.

"By the way." Seeing Kasim agree so straightforwardly, Chen Yiyang thought he could ask for a bit more, "My drone company primarily deals in traffic drones. I wonder if Saudi Arabia would be interested in purchasing our traffic drone services."

"Traffic drones are used to help alleviate urban traffic congestion, right? But Riyadh basically doesn’t have traffic jams." Kasim clearly also knew some information related to traffic drones.

"Indeed, Riyadh doesn’t have traffic jams, but traffic drones are a future means of traffic control. If drones could fly over Riyadh to direct traffic, wouldn’t that enhance Saudi Arabia’s technological image?"

Chen Yiyang truly wanted to sell traffic drones to Saudi Arabia.

Mainly because aftermarket services and maintenance of traffic drones are very profitable, it’s a steady stream of business.
