Chapter 293 Mutual Exploitation Driven by Interests
Star Island.
The recently formed Green Electronics Company is the subsidiary responsible for the sale, repair, refurbishment and replacement of electronic products.
Recently, due to the emergence of optoelectronic chips from Sapiens, traditional mobile phones and computers have not only lost the Southeast Asian market, but are also facing vicious competition from Sapiens .
In the name of environmental protection, Green Electronics refurbishes old mobile phones, laptops and computers and sells them in packages to Russia, Persia and small African countries.
Lucia, who was in urgent need of military chips, gritted her teeth and used oil and natural gas from the Far East to replace the old electronic chips in Green Electronics.
In fact, there are quite a few mobile phones and computers in Southeast Asia.
According to statistics from Green Electronics, there are currently 270 million mobile phones and 83 million computers in the area controlled by Sapiens, and all of these can still be used.
Especially the many mobile phones and computers that were previously imported from Luzon and Hongsawadi.
Currently, most of these mobile phones and computers have been collected by Green Electronics, which has even built a special electronic product refurbishment base in Johor.
All kinds of electronic products, including mobile phones, laptops, tablets, desktop computers, MP3, MP4, printers, televisions, digital cameras, etc., green electronics are recycled uniformly.
Often reprocessed, as well as dismantling and replacing parts.
Currently, Green Electronics can refurbish 20,000 to 30,000 mobile phones and 6,000 to 8,000 computers every day.
Xingdao selected a more suitable island in the newly merged Liaonei Islands and set it up as an electronic product trading distribution center.
This island is Batam Island, which is located across the sea to the south of Sing Island.
Due to the recent ban on European and American capital, and the requirement of Zhiren Company to use cash for payment, fewer people are willing to come to Sing Tao.
But in this world, there are always people who are willing to give it a try .
Birds die for food, and people die for money.
The North New Port in Batam Island.
Du Lin fled from Hong Kong. Due to some special reasons, the trading company he opened with others in Pengcheng went bankrupt, so he took his wife and son to Hong Kong and hid.
With the recent resumption of flights to Sing Tao Island, he smelled a business opportunity.
The electronic products trade center in Beixingang is divided into two exhibition areas: traditional electronic products area and optoelectronic products area.
As for optoelectronic products, Du Lin tried them for a while and found that Zhiren's products had good performance, which was comparable to the flagship phones of Samsung, Apple and Huawei.
But in the end he shook his head and put down the pineapple phone in his hand.
After all, the Pineapple phone is an optoelectronic chip. Although it is compatible with many electronic components, it has not yet obtained market access approval from other regions. Even if he purchases it, he cannot sell it.
So he focused on traditional electronic products.
As soon as you come in here.
He saw many old acquaintances from Huaqiangbei, which made him quickly put on his mask, glasses and hood to avoid being recognized by acquaintances.
Green Electronics has divided brand counters according to the brands of products.
Including various mobile phones from Samsung, OPPO, Apple, Huawei, Transsion, and Xiaomi.
There are also computer products from Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, HP, and Apple.
These are refurbished machines.
Du Lin took a look at the prices and found that they were generally low. Smartphones cost around 200 to 1,000 gold yuan, and computers were about the same price.
This is absolutely a bargain price. After all, after being refurbished by Green Electronics, the machine is actually not much different from a new one. After all, Zhiren Company does not like to cheat customers and will not use inferior substitute parts.
The only trouble is that the Homo Sapiens Company only accepts cash.
After East Asian countries exchanged their foreign exchange for gold some time ago, they now have very little gold.
The Homo Sapiens Company pursues balanced trade. If you don't have money, then you can exchange it with technology, resources, and products.
As for the local currencies of various countries and the US dollar, I’m sorry, Sapiens Company does not have the habit of collecting waste paper.
Compared with the cash-strapped East Asian buyers, a dozen Russians were making large purchases at the chip counters, with their money coming from the sale of oil and natural gas.
"Give me 50,000 of these old-fashioned mobile phone chips with navigation modules."
The salesperson at the counter looked at the inventory and shook his head: "Sorry, there are only 32,000 pieces in stock at the moment."
The old Russian with rosacea waved his hand and said, "32,000 is 32,000. Please pack it and send it to Sing Tao Airport. I will send a plane to deliver it the day after tomorrow."
"OK, the total is 3.2 million gold dollars."
The red-nosed Russian man took out a stack of bearer gold notes from his pocket, and pulled out three with a face value of one million gold yuan and two with a face value of one hundred thousand gold yuan.
This type of bearer gold note is issued by Aoba Bank to major customers.
The salesperson put away the gold ticket and contract and said with a smile: "Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to visit us next time."
The old Russian with rosacea asked in a low voice: "Can your optoelectronic chips be customized?"
"custom made?"
"In fact, the general-purpose chips we sell can be modified for various purposes."
"It's too expensive." Even though the old Russian with rosacea had billions of dollars, he still felt the pain of the price of the optoelectronic chips of the Homo Sapiens company.
But the salesperson explained: "You get what you pay for. Our optoelectronic chips are far superior to ordinary electronic chips in terms of anti-interference and response speed."
Of course the Russian guy with rosacea knows.
These Russians purchase chips for the purpose of upgrading and modifying missiles, cruise missiles and rockets, as well as manufacturing various drones.
As for why they purchased from the Sapiens Company, it was mainly because Lucia currently had no way to obtain chips through normal trade channels.
While other powers were worried about being infiltrated by the Homo Sapiens company, Lucia was not too worried.
After all, Sapiens and Lucia do not border each other, and the previous fight between Sapiens and America actually greatly relieved a lot of pressure on Lucia.
Therefore, Caesar was not as resistant to cooperating with the Sapiens Company as other powers.
On the contrary, Caesar even deliberately exposed the people who purchased the chips in order to provoke America and some old friends.
After all, the stronger the Sapiens company is, the less pressure Lucia will face in Europe.
Caesar wants to tell other powers, don’t force me, otherwise I might directly invest in the Homo Sapiens company one day.
Although America and Europe know that Caesar is unlikely to join the Sapiens company, even if the two sides cooperate deeply, it will still be a huge threat.
Caesar saw this clearly. In addition, the Sapiens Company would not directly border Lucia in the short term. Naturally, he did not mind using the Sapiens Company to exploit each other and restrict America and Europe.
Therefore, Lucia has been in frequent contact with the Sapiens company recently.
It is also the only major power to establish a formal embassy in Thonburi.
As for Tianzhu, Lucia's good friend, Caesar is also actively trying to win him over and appease him.
The Homo Sapiens Company was also well aware of all of this, but did not refuse to cooperate with Lucia. Instead, it actively cooperated with Caesar's little tricks.
For example, at the current electronics exhibition.
The spies of many forces have seen the purchases made by the rosacea-nosed Russians, but they can do nothing about it.
Maybe somewhere else, they could find a way to have the rosacea guy get into an accident, or intimidate the seller.
But this is the territory of the Homo Sapiens Company, and no one dares to cause trouble here.
