Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 451: Uzbekistan

"You’re certainly welcome. If you’re willing, I can arrange your itinerary for you right now. When you arrive in Uzbekistan, you’ll definitely receive a warm welcome from our country," said Eldar without hesitation.

"Alright, I’ll have my assistant arrange the itinerary tonight, and if there’s time, I’ll consider making the trip."

After attending the banquet, Chen Yiyang called his assistant back home, asking them to investigate some information about Uzbekistan.

To see if investing in the automotive industry in Uzbekistan is feasible.

His Yiyang Automobile will obviously face malicious competition from other automotive companies domestically.

At this time, the more overseas layouts, the better.

At least when the company goes public, there will be stories to tell about the stock price.

The next day, Chen Yiyang did not receive the materials from his assistant.

Instead, he received good news from Schaefer’s side.

The execution power of those environmental organizations is truly high, and they indeed get things done.

Schaefer just gave a call to the leaders of those environmental organizations, hinting at holding a meeting and significant donations.

These environmental organizations sprang into action after receiving the call, even before they received any benefits.

The autonomous driving company that Qian Du set up in Sweden immediately received protest letters from environmental organizations, who also began to arrange a small-scale protest.

And Qian Du’s response was even faster than Chen Yiyang expected.

On the third day, Chen Yiyang received a call from his assistant, saying that a senior executive from Qian Du wanted to speak with him.

"Hello," Chen Yiyang answered the call.

"Mr. Chen, we don’t have any enmity, do we?"

"The way you’re putting it," Chen Yiyang immediately replied loudly, "I’ve never had any cooperation with Qian Du Company, nor have we ever competed in the same field.

The two of us are like strangers. What does it mean when you suddenly come out and say we don’t have enmity? I don’t understand."

Faced with Chen Yiyang’s righteous response,

the Qian Du executive could only awkwardly say, "I heard some things happened recently in Europe that might involve you?"

"I am indeed in Europe now. I’ve invested in some industries here, and also invested in a film. So, I’m here to have a look at the situation."

"Do you mean that it was indeed your doing?" The executive directly tried to trick Chen Yiyang into saying something he shouldn’t.

"What are you saying was my doing? The strike activities in France, or the environmental organization protests in Germany?"

"Your act of playing dumb is pointless."

"Crazy, I have no idea what you’re talking about."

Seeing that this Qian Du executive had little interest in negotiating properly, Chen Yiyang simply hung up the phone.

Qian Du’s people indeed made the accurate judgment.

No wonder they come from a search engine background.

Their news tracking is quite fast.

Unfortunately, they don’t know how to lower their heads.

Since that’s the case, Chen Yiyang indicated to Schaefer to intensify their efforts.

He wanted to see whether his wallet would give in first or Qian Du’s stock price.

Qian Du isn’t actually concerned about how effective their autonomous driving technology is.

Qian Du hopes the autonomous driving technology can be implemented in Europe to boost their stock price.

This is where the big profits are.

If Chen Yiyang kept using environmental organizations to initiate protest activities,

even if the autonomous driving technology was forcibly promoted by Qian Du, their valuation would definitely not increase.

That’s why Chen Yiyang wasn’t worried that his attack on Qian Du wouldn’t have an effect.

Meanwhile, the assistant sent over the relevant information about Uzbekistan.

Chen Yiyang gained insight into the real level of Uzbekistan’s automotive industry.

Uzbekistan was once a member of the alliance, gathering a solid foundation in heavy industry.

In addition, the education level is good, leading to a very open society with plenty of qualified workers.

After independence, Uzbekistan formed connections with South Korea, which was developing at the time, due to the significant number of Koreans living there.

The idea of a Central Asian country having many South Koreans is somewhat incredible.

But in actuality, these Koreans used to live around the Far East.

During the time of the alliance, they didn’t bother distinguishing whether Asians living in the Far East were Korean or Japanese, so they moved these people all at once to Uzbekistan and left them there.

This provided Uzbekistan with an opportunity.

So, after independence, Uzbekistan attracted investment from South Korea’s Daewoo to develop the automotive industry, which did quite well.

Later, during the 1997 financial crisis, Daewoo went bankrupt, and the companies left by Daewoo were taken over by Chevrolet.

Now, over eighty percent of the cars running in Uzbekistan are Chevrolets.

And Eldar wasn’t exaggerating.

Because of these historical opportunities, Uzbekistan has indeed become the country responsible for manufacturing and exporting cars among the several Central Asian countries.

As long as Uzbekistan’s business environment remains accommodating.

The primary investments used to be either Russian capital or South Korean capital.

As South Korean capital gradually withdrew, and Russian capital struggled to continue dominating the Uzbek market due to the war.

Uzbekistan began to introduce Huaxia’s investment.

Now, the main investment source for Uzbekistan is Huaxia.

"It feels like a very worthwhile trip," Chen Yiyang concluded after reading the intelligence report and decided not to return to the country for now and instead head to Uzbekistan.

There are fewer and fewer investment bargains left back home.

Traveling abroad could yield unexpected surprises.

Thus, Chen Yiyang reached out to Eldar again.

"My friend, I believe this trip won’t be in vain. Uzbekistan welcomes you," Eldar was very pleased to hear Chen Yiyang’s decision.

He immediately made a call back home in front of Chen Yiyang to arrange his trip there.

Of course, Chen Yiyang wouldn’t foolishly believe that having a diplomat’s endorsement meant he was safe abroad.

Therefore, he continued to coordinate with the international travel agency he always worked with to arrange a few bodyguards for himself.

"Welcome!"

A day later, the plane carrying Chen Yiyang landed at the capital’s airport in Uzbekistan.

Eldar wasn’t lying. He had indeed organized a grand welcome ceremony for Chen Yiyang.

When Chen Yiyang got off the plane, he almost thought that some political bigwig might have been on the same flight.

The flowers and the welcome ceremony were so impressive.

Previously, Chen Yiyang had only seen such arrangements in news reports of leaders’ travels on television.

Sitting in the luxurious car arranged by Uzbekistan for him, Chen Yiyang rode all the way to the hotel.

Along the way, he continuously observed through the car window.

He noticed that the roads in Uzbekistan did have many cars, and the highways were well-constructed.

But these cars were all seriously outdated.
