Mr. Zhu directly cut open the outer packaging of a box, revealing the packaging inside. They were all electronic products wrapped in bubble wrap.
Mr. Zhu said to Chen San: "These things are sent to Japan, not the stuff you think."
Chen San never thought that the smuggled items turned out to be electronic products.
This is an unprecedented first time.
What kind of electronic products does Xia have to be smuggled to Japan and the United States?
Chen San didn't believe that they were Xia Guo's electronic products, so he asked one more question, "Where do these electronic products come from? Are they from Russia?"
Because Russia does not have a fixed port to export to the sea, many things also go out from Xiangjiang City.
But in Chen San's impression, Russia does not have any outstanding electronic products.
Most of the smuggled goods are also firearms.
Mr. Zhu said: "Anyway, it's just that it's not the type of item you were thinking of. Don't ask too much about anything else. We can talk about the price."
Chen San has been working in this industry for decades, so he certainly knows the rules of this industry, so he loaded the goods onto the speedboat without asking any more questions, and then consigned them to the port for transshipment.
This batch of goods is Changtian Technology’s carbon crystal memory.
After scalpers obtain the goods from various computer sellers in Shenzhen City, they sell them directly to local snakeheads at high prices.
The snakehead gathered the collected carbon crystals together and then handed them over to Chen San and others.
Part of this batch of goods will be sold directly to Toyo, and some will be transshipped from Toyo and sold to North America.
In Japan and North America, buyers have already paid and are waiting to receive the goods.
And the money paid there is only rice knives, which in RMB is much higher than that of local users, or even several times higher.
On the west coast of the United States, this is not a general port, but a natural harbor. After being reinforced by local people, the port became a distribution center for smuggled goods.
The carbon crystal memory from Xia Guoshen City started from here and came into the hands of players from all walks of life in the United States.
The pursuit of the ultimate cost-effectiveness of computers is not only done by young users in Xia, but also by users in the United States.
Moreover, the economic conditions of the United States are much better than those of Xia State, the computer culture is much richer, and the demand is stronger.
And in the past two years, the level of large-scale computer games has exploded.
Devil May Cry, Silent Hill 2, etc., which support both PS and computers, have been released one after another.
When these games are run on computers, they bring a different experience to users, both in terms of operating experience and visuals.
High-performance games, of course, require higher computer hardware configurations.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the graphics card and memory.
When the group of people in the United States learned that Xia State actually had 512 MB and 1 GB of memory, they tried every means to get it to play with.
Therefore, most of this batch of smuggled goods has flowed into the hands of these computer gamers, and some has flowed into the hands of Kingston, Intel, Seagate and other companies (for research).
On the black market in the United States, the price of 1g of carbon crystal memory has reached 1,000 yuan, or about 8,000 RMB. This price is more than three times higher than the price in the hands of scalpers in the Shenzhen market.
Kate, who majored in computer science at New York University, is not only a rich second generation, but also a gamer and computer player.
After Kate learned that Xia Guo had 1g of memory, she immediately spent a lot of money to buy it.
As a computer major, Kate will certainly understand the development of computers around the world.
He has seen US media reports on Changtianke carbon crystal memory.
Neither the New York Times nor the New York Times is optimistic about carbon crystal memory.
The reporting point of view is also the same as the third one - the technology is immature, may lead to data insecurity, and plagiarizes American technology.
Kate is very familiar with the reporting methods of the American media.
He simply didn't believe these news reports and was more willing to try it himself.
After Kate removed the two 256-megabyte memories from his computer, he carefully installed two 1-gigabyte carbon crystal memories.
He then tested the computer's performance, and the results surprised him.
The performance is amazing!
Kate still doesn't know how luxurious she is, but she actually used two 1g memories to build a 2g memory dual channel.
He is probably one of the first users in the world to use dual-channel 2g memory.
Kate thinks there is a bug in the software installed on the computer to test the memory performance?
Because the test data values were completely off the charts, beyond Kate’s imagination.
Kate quickly searched the Internet for Xia Guo's relevant reports on carbon crystal memory.
Because he didn't understand Chinese, he used Google Translate while reading relevant news reports.
The results also surprised him.
In particular, the report mentioned a detail that made him completely confident that the data given by his testing software was completely accurate.
Xia Guo’s media reported that Changtian Technology’s carbon crystal memory can maximize the performance of other computer hardware.
In other words, the only indicator that restricts carbon crystal memory is the capacity of carbon crystal memory.
As for the reading and writing speed, the compatibility with the hardware, etc., there is no need to consider these.
Carbon crystal memory has reached the optimal level, and its optimization of hardware matching is even far better than that of established brands Kingston, Micron, Samsung, etc.
[Influence +5]
Performance tests are just cold data. You can only feel the experience of the hardware by actually using it.
Kate turned off the test software and opened Silent Hill 2, which was just released some time ago.
Silent Hill 2 is not officially sold to the outside world, and is still a test machine.
Because Kate is a game enthusiast, he got the test qualification earlier.
Silent Hill 2 uses a full 3D mode and has very high computer performance requirements.
The graphics card can make the graphics of Silent Hill 2 more clear, and the memory and computer chip can make the game run more smoothly.
Open the game icon, enter the game instantly, and try it out smoothly.
Kate couldn't believe how smoothly the game ran.
While playing the game, Kate once again contributed 5 points of influence.
In America, it's not just Kate.
Thousands of users who have used carbon crystal memory are surprised that a Xia technology company can produce such powerful memory.
In the gaming industry in the United States, players are also passing on information to each other about the experience of using carbon crystal memory.
This makes countless game enthusiasts itchy.
Obtaining 1g or 512 MB of carbon crystal memory has become the biggest wish of many American computer users.
Where there is demand, there will be a market.
On the black market in the United States, the price of 1g of carbon crystal memory continues to rise, and the price has exceeded 1,500 to 2,000 US dollars.
The price of 512 MB carbon crystal memory is not cheap. If you sell it for 800 yuan, many users will just pay for it without batting an eye.
Because of the strong market demand in the United States, the price of carbon crystal memory in the Shenzhen market continues to rise.
This situation made Wu Jun very confused.
Yangtze Technology has already started mass production, and by mid-September, the production of carbon crystal memory has also increased.
But why is the price still going up, and it seems that users in Xia Guo still can’t buy it.
Many times, Changtian Technology has just delivered a batch of freight.
Wu Jun also distributed the goods according to the established plan. The entire distribution process was very smooth, but the users just couldn't get the goods.
Many users even called Shenship's headquarters directly.
He opened his mouth and shut up and scolded Wu Jun until he was bloody.
What the user means is that Shenchuan serves as an agent for Changtian Technology to explore the memory.
First of all, they will satisfy their own interests, store carbon crystals, and sell them to scalpers at high prices instead of selling directly to consumers.
These users also scolded Wu Jun for being too greedy and that his life would be shortened in the future.
When Wu Jun heard this, he was very angry.
It doesn't matter that some users are scolding themselves. The most important thing is that Wu Jun wants to find out where the carbon crystal memory sent by Changtian Technology has gone?
Even scalpers are deliberately hoarding goods.
It is impossible to stock up on thousands or tens of thousands of coins.
The price of a carbon crystal memory is easily seven to eight hundred yuan.
1,000 coins is equivalent to 700,000 to 800,000 coins, and the actual cost of getting it into the hands of scalpers may be even higher, closer to around 1 million.
Which scalper has such strength? He just spends 1 million to stock up on goods.
And he is not worried about the risks of stocking up.
What if Changtian Technology launches large-scale mass production?
What if the price of Changtian Technology’s products drops?
Therefore, Wu Jun judged that the carbon crystal memory hoarded by these scalpers would never be foolishly stored in the warehouse.
And it must have been sold.
But where exactly it was sold, Wu Jun still doesn’t know.
If he didn't figure out this issue, Wu Jun would have no way to explain it to Chen Xiao.
Wu Jun had to go deep into the grassroots and even make some small scalpers himself. He just wanted to figure out where the carbon crystal memory went.
After contacting scalpers of all sizes, Wu Jun discovered an astonishing fact.
More than 70% of the carbon crystal memory retailed in Shenzhen City is sent to Xiangjiang City.
As for the batch of goods delivered to Xiangjiang City, except for a very small part that will stay in Xiangjiang City and be handed over to local users for use, most of them are exported to Japan and the United States through smuggling.
There are still a few exports to the East, and most of them flow into the United States.
After learning about this situation, Wu Jun opened his mouth wide and felt unbelievable.
Wu Jun has been in the hardware business in Shenzhen City for more than ten years.
In previous years, including now.
The smuggling business of computer hardware has been banned repeatedly.
But most of them are chips or motherboard products from the United States. In order to avoid high tariffs, they come to the Shenzhen market through smuggling channels, and then flow from the Shenzhen market to all parts of the country.
But Wu Jun never thought that Xia's electronic products would flow into the United States through smuggling channels.
Wu Jun immediately asked the marketing department to calculate the flow of carbon crystal memory in detail.
After calculation and modeling comparison and development, from the end of July to mid-September.
Approximately 20,000 carbon crystal memories have flowed into the United States through smuggling.
And those scalpers who buy and sell carbon crystal memory in the Shenzhen market are making a lot of money.
Some relatively powerful scalpers directly purchased a Volkswagen in mid-September.
This shows how profitable the carbon crystal memory business is.
Carbon crystal memory is now facing a serious contradiction between supply and demand.
On the one hand, Xia users have demand for stand-alone memory, and on the other hand, the huge demand in the US market has raised the sales price of carbon crystal memory.
After Wu Jun thought deeply, he decided to report the matter to Chen Xiao.
He even came up with his own countermeasures, numbering each piece of carbon crystal memory, and then handing it over to computer and hardware wholesalers in Shenzhen City according to the number.
These wholesalers are required to sell carbon crystal memory to individual users instead of reselling it to scalpers.
All users are required to make real-name purchases and purchase in limited quantities.
Wholesalers are required to abide by sales rules.
Wu Jun even suggested that Chen Xiao directly set up a carbon crystal memory activation program on the central server of Changtian Technology.
Every time a user uses a piece of carbon crystal memory, Changtian Technology can discover and see where the memory is used.
If a batch of carbon crystal memory is found to be defective, the corresponding seller will be punished.
Shenzhou will never hand over Shenzhou T1 computers and retail carbon crystal memory to this wholesaler.
When Chen Xiao received Wu Jun's report, he couldn't believe it himself.
Obviously, carbon crystal memory, like carbon crystal hard drives, will definitely not be welcomed by American industry associations.
Under such circumstances, carbon crystal memory will definitely not receive a certificate of qualification issued by the American Computer Association or the Semiconductor Association.
Not to mention getting an import license from the United States.
That is to say, it is absolutely impossible for carbon crystal memory to reach the United States through formal channels.
But what Chen Xiao didn't expect was that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley.
Because the performance of carbon crystal memory is too good, while other brands of memory are too slow, American consumers vote with their feet.
He actually used smuggling to try every means to get the carbon crystal memory.
Chen Xiao asked Wang Xiang to ask his classmates in the United States about the price of carbon crystal memory in the United States.
Good guy! The sales price scared Chen Xiaoyiyi.
The sales price of 1G carbon crystal memory is about 1,500 knives, which is about more than 10,000 RMB, which is several times higher.
But it's a pity.
This money was not made by Changtian Technology, but by scalpers from various channels.
After this news, both Wang Xiang and Zhou Linghua sighed.
Wang Xiang said: "If our products can be exported to the United States through formal channels, how much money will we make?!"
Zhou Linghua also said with great emotion: "If we sell to the United States at this price, the profit will be doubled several times! It will be enough to work for a month and feed for several years!"
Zhou Linghua was very unconvinced, "I almost want to be a scalper! We work so hard on R&D and production, but we don't earn as much as scalpers!"
Wang Xiang highly praised Wu Jun's suggestion and tried every means to prevent carbon crystal memory from being smuggled abroad.
Everyone looked at Chen Xiao, waiting for Chen Xiao to make up his mind.
Who knows that Chen Xiao has a different view on this matter.
Chen Xiao said: "The R&D and sales of carbon crystal memory will definitely be subject to crazy attacks and retaliation from Western technology companies, and they will also try their best to compress our living space."
"It is better to take the initiative than to be beaten passively."
"We only need to expand production now to meet the sales demand of the domestic market as much as possible. As for whether our products are smuggled out, this is something we cannot control."
"Besides, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."
