According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...People who like to make rules, or who have mastered the rules, will definitely use some restrictions to limit you.
Be careful here. They were also very slow and hesitant when it came to paying.
In her previous life, Xing Baohua had witnessed her company fall into a similar trap. It was due to some details in the contract that had misled the original company, leading to a two- or three-year legal battle.
I won, but I didn't get much money; it all went to the lawyers.
They greeted us warmly, but their smiles seemed a bit forced.
This person doesn't need anything else, just a two-way pager.
Furthermore, Xing Baohua was informed that the motorcycle would not be sold in the United States, nor in the countries where the patent application for the motorcycle was filed.
Xing Baohua thought to himself, "They came here after finding out the details and knowing the situation."
Xing Baohua then asked him where the sales were!
Tell Xing Baohua to sell in Africa.
There are indeed many rich people in that place, but Xing Baohua would never believe that.
The only way to refuse was to stop production, as the orders were already scheduled for 1989.
One is talking nonsense, the other is utter rubbish.
Nobody knows what the two of them were arguing about.
This foreigner wanted to speak with Xing Baohua alone.
Let's talk then, and see what tricks they're up to.
This white man named Angeli is indeed from the United States. He has many businesses in Africa, with branches in seven or eight neighboring countries, and his headquarters are in South Africa.
If possible, the other party wants to use a batch of diamonds as leverage to engage in a barter transaction with Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua's first thought was that this was a trap. What if the other party tried to trade him some broken glass? That would be a disaster for him.
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know anything about diamonds, and I don't have any channels to sell them. I think you'd be better off finding a diamond dealer, selling your stock, and giving me cash instead."
Anjilie's intention was to have Xing Baohua act as a primary distributor, so that she could earn more money.
Xing Baohua's intuition tells him not to touch unfamiliar territory, no matter how tempting it may be. Is there anything more tempting than billions?
Furthermore, the orders are already giving Xing Baohua a headache; he's currently calculating production capacity and how to allocate those orders.
Don't be fooled by these billions; they'll only amount to a few hundred million in the end, unless the other party is willing to wait in line!
If they want 100,000 units, we'll give them 10,000; if they want 10,000 units, we'll give them 1,000. That's the only way we can arrange it.
Everything still depends on the final contract.
Even so, Xing Baohua still dared to accept orders; he would accept as many as the customer asked for. Large sums of potential orders were what attracted him.
The higher the number, the more attention Xing Baohua receives, and the higher his status becomes.
Unfortunately, I encountered an unreliable American. Buying one or two as a gift is fine.
Seeing Xing Baohua hesitate, this man pulled her to his stall to look at diamonds.
Did this foreigner bring the goods with him?
Looking at the diamonds in the glass display case, their dazzling luster was indeed beautiful.
Xing Baohua saw a diamond the size of a little fingernail and asked, "How much does this cost approximately?"
“You have a good eye. This is a 3.1-carat diamond from the Kimberley Mine. It’s very beautiful,” Angelie said.
How much is it worth?
"70,000 US dollars?"
Upon hearing the price, Xing Baohua exclaimed in one word: "Outrageous! Even more outrageous than the local people at the production site!"
This little bit of stuff is worth almost two hundred thousand yuan in national currency. In later generations, it would be worth over a million!
I remember in my past life, when the boss remarried, he bought his wife a small pigeon egg, which was four or five times bigger than this, for only a little over four million.
Comparing the prices of the previous and current versions, it's not a good deal! If it were $7,000, Xing Baohua might consider buying a few more to give as gifts.
People who are even more ruthless than him, like those who earn 70,000, should be avoided at all costs.
Xing Baohua returned to his stall and told Yang Jing about it.
Yang Jing asked three times if it was really the size of her little fingernail.
Yang Jing said that 3.1 carats is not expensive! She saw a diamond ring of about the same weight in Hong Kong that cost tens of thousands of US dollars.
Yang Jing suddenly thought of something and asked, "Didn't you ask what the quality level of the diamond was?"
“I don’t know anything about this! I lost interest as soon as I heard the price. Besides, those are probably loose diamonds! Anyway, there are no finished rings or necklaces or anything, just pure diamonds,” Xing Baohua said.
Yang Jing wanted to say something, but then thought better of it. She hadn't seen the actual product, so it wasn't appropriate to comment.
People came intermittently, and their orders came intermittently as well. The quantities were too small, mostly a few hundred units at a time. Xing Baohua wasn't interested in these small orders; they weren't worth the hassle.
Over the past few days, Xing Baohua has come to understand one thing: most of them operate on a small-business model, making a profit from the price difference.
Large companies, wanting to control things directly, are trying to find a different way to collaborate.
Anyway, it's not as carefree as being with a rich guy.
When things are a little less busy, Xing Baohua calculates production output and works with his secretary.
Yang Jing suddenly said to Xing Baohua, "Someone's here."
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
He had a turban, a big beard, and was also wearing a long white gown.
He's not a very serious person. A goofy Indian guy from the south.
We welcome anyone who comes as a guest.
Seeing them is like seeing a husky. There's a strange sense of humor in it.
In his previous life, Xing Baohua had two Indian friends. Back then, when counterfeit phones were trying to enter the Indian market, he went there for a while to learn about their habits and develop phones suitable for the Indian market.
Back then, Xing Baohua didn't expect the workmanship to be very good in order to minimize the cost of mobile phones.
Lag and overheating are common issues. The worst problem is that you can't see the text on the screen in direct sunlight.
