"'Holy Light' has begun to explode in production capacity again."
Ilham stood at the hotel window in the Odessa port area, overlooking the busy port terminal from a height of more than ten floors. Several container ships were being loaded and unloaded, and the port cranes were slowly transferring cargo.
The freighter belongs to a European shipping company, the crew is probably a group of Filipinos, and the cargo manifest may also be fake. But it doesn't matter, Ilham knows exactly what is on this ship.
As an Iranian black marketeer, Ilham first went around in Kiev to get some contraband. But after the arrival of the Holy Light, all underground transactions were made public. The market demand was fully satisfied and transactions were extremely frequent.
Ilham used the Holy Light's Il-76 fleet to transport contraband and also transported a large number of civilian household appliances to Tehran. He made a lot of money and made his first pot of gold in his life.
But this good life did not last long.
Due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, the powerful people in Tehran quickly drove Ilham away on the charge of smuggling. If he dares to go back now, he will definitely be hanged. But he has been prepared for this. If the market in Tehran cannot bear the food, he will go to other places.
place.
Thanks to the overseas settlement system that "Holy Light Bank" spent a lot of money to build, Ilham has kept his property. Black marketeers know that "Holy Light" and the CIA are mortal enemies, so they feel safe leaving their money to "Holy Light" for safekeeping.
Ilham left Boryspil and came to Odessa on the northern coast of the Black Sea. ‘Holy Light’ is operating a second product sales base here, radiating around the entire Black Sea.
‘Holy Light’ has a full-time investigation department that will send people to collect intelligence in the market to determine what kind of products are competitive. As long as the goods it transports, even if you buy blindly with your eyes closed, you will definitely make money.
As a member of the market, Ilham will be given a product catalog every time a cargo ship arrives at the port. He has the right of first refusal, and this right alone is very valuable.
Basically, new products will be added every time the product catalog is updated. Each black market merchant will choose products based on his own advantages. When Ilham opened the catalog, he knew that another product was being produced explosively by the 'Holy Light'
Is there a market for this product? Yes, and it is huge. In Ukraine alone, there is demand from tens of millions of women, and Eastern European society is also relatively progressive, so the market prospects are huge.
However, the countries surrounding the Black Sea have little developed light industry, and many products need to be imported.
Contrary to many people's intuition, native chicken is an important producer of light industrial goods. It mainly supplies Europe and also exports to Eastern Europe and the Middle East, which are its traditional markets.
'Shengguang' entered the sanitary products market at the beginning of the year and began to desperately add production lines to increase production capacity. It built factories in various provinces and doubled its production capacity almost every month to meet the needs of the country's one billion people.
At present, domestic demand has not been met, but the president wants to buy local chickens, and by the way, he has brought in a large amount of goods to compete for the market. When it comes to quality and price, ‘Holy Light’ has no one to fear.
After all, in the low-end industrial chain, as long as the ‘world’s factory’ has a firm foothold, everyone will be a scumbag.
‘Holy Light’ opened a commodity exchange in Odessa, right in the port area. Ilham called and asked about it, and was shocked to find that the sanitary products shipped this time had been ordered out.
"When did this thing become a hot commodity? Sales are so good."
Ilham thought about the "walking furniture" wrapped in black cloth in his country, and couldn't imagine what it would be like if it were sold. He flipped through the product catalog again and saw a satellite TV receiver.
"Ah, this thing is good, it should be marketable."
There is a satellite TV receiver in the hotel. It is placed high in the building and looks like a big pot. With this thing, you can watch a lot of TV programs and it is very cost-effective.
Ilham called the commodity exchange again, reported his member name and asked to order a container. He was lucky, and there was only the last 3,000 standard containers left when he called.
The transaction must be completed within two hours, otherwise the ordered goods will be back for sale again. After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly left the hotel and headed to the exchange.
Since it is a new product, someone in the exchange is responsible for demonstrating its use. According to the instructions, the receiving 'pot' antenna is pointed at a fixed area in the sky, and it can be viewed with a TV.
This is very convenient for ordinary families.
Ilham believes that this thing is definitely easy to sell and will definitely become popular. It will become a standard TV for areas lacking broadcast communication infrastructure.
After paying the money and getting the goods, Ilham happily headed to the port area. He couldn't do business in Tehran, so he turned to local chickens. In comparison, local chickens have a better economic level, and residents have stronger spending power, so they can
More secular.
A container doesn't cost much, so you can hire a small cargo ship at the port to transport it. 'Holy Light' even provides a full set of logistics services, and you can arrange everything just by paying for it.
Ilham and several of his men were escorted by boat and took two days to cross the Black Sea to the north of Turkey. During this period, the Turkish coast patrol caught them and paid a fine of $1,000. They arrived at a Turkish island without incident.
Chicken Little Harbor.
This was not the first time for a similar transaction. Before landing, Ilham used radio to contact the local chicken merchants at the port, informing him of the type and price of the goods, and preparing to dock for unloading.
Since it is a small port, there is only one trestle. When Ilham got off the boat, a fat guy came up and gave him a hug.
"Ilham, my friend. I heard that you brought me a satellite TV receiver? Hahaha..., this thing is a hot commodity now."
A sample was moved off the cargo ship. The local chicken merchant looked at the packaging, nodded with satisfaction and said: "'Holy Light's products are always made very finely. This packaging is easy to understand at a glance."
I bought a batch of French goods before, and the printing was still in French, even the instructions. The machine also had to be equipped with an adapter, which was not easy to use. I asked the French guys, but they were not willing to provide after-sales service."
TVs are also divided into different standards, and the signal interfaces are all kinds of weird. European major manufacturers rarely care about the opinions of underlying customers. Basically, users have to use whatever they sell.
That's how arrogant.
Until the 'world's factory' started grabbing business - they didn't change.
Ilham also nodded at this and said: "The things of 'Holy Light' are indeed more detailed. Their instructions also have different text. There are different instructions for different regions. It is more comfortable to sell their products."
"Let's go. Go to my house and try." The local chicken merchant waved his hand, "I will arrange for someone to unload the goods, don't worry."
The small port belonged to a town, and the news that a satellite receiver had arrived in the port quickly spread by word of mouth and became known to everyone. Many children in the town flocked to the merchant's home, and even the adults were curious.
Everyone wants to know, is this thing easy to use or not?
