Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 635
In this market, he's seen speculative businessmen, he's seen naive university students, and he never expected to meet a group of 'geniuses' with empty heads only thinking about getting rich.
As expected, the world is always full of fools, with not enough swindlers.
The recent black sticker incident Chen Yiyang stumbled upon taught him a significant lesson.
Unless he's orchestrating it himself, it's best to steer clear of such speculative markets.
The miracle of Bitcoin will only occur once; it was a special product formed under specific historical conditions.
It's impossible to replicate again.
After Chen Yiyang sold all the jewelry in the warehouse,
he called Schaefer to inquire about the progress in Saudi Arabia.
"The team you arranged has arrived, and I've already set them to work.
However, I haven't had the time to stay in Saudi Arabia recently; I need to go to India."
"What are you going to India for?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.
"Remember the job I took on earlier, the one where I was helping the French sell fighter jets to India."
Chen Yiyang recalled it.
Indeed, Schaefer had previously encountered a setback.
He initially fronted a lot of money, made connections in India, preparing to sell the French fighter jets to India.
But this seemingly foolproof deal was later ruined by the tensions between India and its northern neighbor.
Because India discovered their newly acquired advanced French fighter jets couldn't even match up to the fighter jets their neighbor to the north bought from another neighbor.
So Schaefer thought the deal was dead. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Because once bitten, the Indians were never going to buy fighter jets from the French again.
"Wasn't that deal messed up?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.
"I also thought the deal was completely botched," Schaefer said excitedly. "But I didn't expect my contacts in India to give me news.
India is still planning to buy French fighter jets, and I can leverage the previous connections to act as a communication bridge and earn some money from it."
"Hmm?" Chen Yiyang didn't expect such a turnaround.
"I couldn't understand it at first either," Schaefer explained to Chen Yiyang. "But later I asked around and managed to figure it out."
"Tell me about it?" Chen Yiyang was very curious.
How could a deal that was dead in the water have a turnaround?
Did the Indians go crazy?
"Let me tell you a little story first."
Schaefer began,
"During World War II, the Dutch government at that time discovered the political situation was unstable.
They were worried that when the Nazis came, they would snatch away all the gold in the Dutch treasury.
So they decided to transfer all the treasury gold.
This task was managed by the Dutch National Bank at the time.
The Dutch National Bank contacted an international shipping fleet and began negotiating transport fees with them.
But unexpectedly, during their negotiations, Nazi planes were already in the sky bombing the port.
So the representative from the Dutch National Bank immediately said to the head of the shipping fleet.
Look at how severe the war situation is now; commercial activities have basically stopped.
Besides us, there's no one else who will need your transport services.
So isn't it time for you to lower the transport fees to the lowest point?
But unexpectedly, the head of the shipping fleet wasn't happy with that.
They stated, you are wrong. It's precisely because Nazi bombers are already flying over the port that other shipping fleets, to prevent their ships from being bombed, will no longer accept any transport business.
Because the transport fees cannot compare to the cost of buying a ship.
So now you need to raise the transport fees, besides us, no one will transport anything for you."
After Schaefer finished his little story, Chen Yiyang immediately understood what Schaefer wanted to express.
The friction between India and its northern neighbor.
On the surface, it seemed India lost big time.
But in reality, both India and France lost.
Because some people believed that they lost the air battle due to the Indian pilots' lack of skill.
But others believed it was the French planes that were the problem.
So Chen Yiyang speculated that the Indians were firmly convinced.
That the loss of this air battle was entirely the fault of the French planes.
But aside from the advanced French fighter jets, they couldn't find another more advanced fighter jet to purchase for a while.
So the Indians immediately realized this was a good time to negotiate a lower price.
They probably told the French representatives something like this.
"Look, your French half-generation fighter jets, which you've boasted about for so long, got beaten so badly by my neighbor's third-generation fighter jets.
In the future, no country would want to buy your fighter jets anymore.
But we Indians, with our fondness for old times, decide to give you guys another chance.
Give us more rebates, lower the price, sell the fighter jets to us at a discount.
And we'll let bygones be bygones.
Chen Yiyang immediately shared his thoughts with Schaefer.
"Haha, buddy, exactly. That's indeed how the Indians are thinking now.
The information I've received is that the Indian Air Force plans to spend 22.6 billion US Dollars to continue buying 114 French fighter jets.
But now the two sides are arguing fiercely over the price of each fighter jet, and they need me to coordinate.
"What do the French think?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.
"The French, of course, believe the Indian failure wasn't the fault of the French fighter jets but purely due to the shortcomings of Indian pilots and logistics.
They believe no country is willing to sell advanced fighter jets to India now.
Fearful that due to India's poor logistics and pilots, their fighter jet performance wouldn't be fully utilized, losing face in future battles.
So, now only the French are willing to continue selling advanced fighter jets to India.
They are absolutely unwilling to lower the price.
Recently, I need to work hard to mediate the relationship between the two sides.
But once successful, the benefits I can reap from it are substantial."
"Then you go ahead and get busy."
Chen Yiyang was also amazed.
The wonders of this world are truly incredible.
Originally, Chen Yiyang thought there would be no further development in Schaefer's deal.
But unexpectedly, he realized his perspective was too narrow.
Learnt something today.
After Chen Yiyang hung up the phone with Schaefer, the manager of his restaurant called him.
Upon answering, a voice came through on the phone.
"Boss, a marketing company approached us, wanting to help market our restaurant. Should we agree?"
I need to work hard to mediate the relationship between the two sides.
But once successful, the benefits I can reap from it are substantial."
"Then you go ahead and get busy."
Chen Yiyang was also amazed.
