In ancient agrarian societies, the fruits of labor were extremely scarce from beginning to end. A grain of rice, a bowl, a piece of wood, a nail are all very precious.

But in the industrial age, for the first time, mankind discovered the absurdity of 'overproduction'. The fruits of labor are so great that milk is poured into the river, crops rot in the fields, and goods are piled up in warehouses.

But there will still be people who don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes.

In modern society, what the invaders want is no longer territory and population, but the market. One reason why the United States is strong is that it has a large and unified consumer market and enough domestic demand to drive the economic cycle.

For many developing countries, exporting goods to developed countries such as Europe and the United States is an important way, or even the only way, to obtain capital and technology and develop their economies.

As big as China, as small as Vietnam, as chaotic as India, and so on. Economic development always follows a certain path, and the local chicken is next to Europe, and trade with Europe is its lifeline.

The textile industry is also the lifeline of the lifeline.

The earliest British Industrial Revolution began with the textile industry. Its technical content, capital requirements and labor quality requirements are relatively low, and it is an entry-level task in developing countries.

The development of the textile industry has now become a highly profitable part of developed countries such as mastering brands, designing and developing new materials and new equipment. Developing countries are just working as coolies and earning a little money.

However, even a small amount of money is of great importance to developing countries, and there is no room for failure.

To put it simply, foreign trade and remittance income are important sources of foreign exchange, and textile exports account for a quarter of foreign trade.

In the 90s, more than 2 million people were employed in the textile industry. If it can carry out a precise attack on its textile exports, its economy will inevitably suffer a heavy blow, and even cause social unrest.

Smugglers in every small town are aware of the hidden dangers, but not everyone can betray their own interests. You can worry about the country and the people, but you still have to continue to make money.

"Our textile industry should reflect on why other people's goods by sea are better and cheaper than ours. The bureaucracy should look into it, improve production, and reduce costs. ”

The local tyrant smuggler gave his own thoughts.

Yilham heard it ridiculous. It is probably that the other party only does the smuggling of household appliances, not the smuggling of textiles. If it is the other way around, I am afraid that this local tyrant will not have a similar idea.

This situation made Ilham pay attention. After completing the transaction of satellite TV receivers, he returned to the commodity exchange in the port of Odessa by boat to inquire about other smugglers.

Businessmen pay the most attention to information, and the exchange has specially arranged a gathering area, opened a telephone line to contact the world, and has free office equipment to facilitate trading.

The party area offers complimentary tea and a VIP lounge where there is always someone to stop by. Yilham asked a few black marketeers he knew, and soon gathered a lot of information.

"Textiles? It is said that the supplier of 'Holy Light' has made a breakthrough in dye-based fabrics and textile machinery, and can produce new fabrics such as 'modal' or cashmere fabrics with high count counts.

In the past, these high-end fabrics could only be produced in Europe, and the textile factories of local chickens processed them on their behalf. Now that 'Holy Light' has come in, most of the women's underwear products that have recently arrived in Hong Kong are produced with 'Modal', and they sell particularly well in Europe. ”

"Modal?" The news came as a shock to Yilham because he had done a similar business before, buying high-end fabrics from Europe and selling them in Tehran for women of status.

Don't look at the women in Tehran who wear black robes, they are especially willing to spend money on clothes under black robes. And Europe itself is a big textile market, and the profits of high-end products are particularly attractive.

Ordinary people can be satisfied if they can wear pure cotton, but rich people want more upscale. 'Modal' fabrics are known for being smooth, soft and hygroscopic, making them extremely advantageous in the manufacture of underwear.

Being able to build 'Modal' is indeed an industrial upgrade, and it can make a lot of money.

"So, 'Holy Light' must have squeezed out a lot of textile markets?" Ilham asked his 'friends'.

The chatting black marketeers looked at each other with enough information to deduce such a conclusion. But theoretically speaking, the amount of cake must be in size, and if someone eats too much, someone must be hungry.

Businessmen only make money, but Ilham has suffered losses in Tehran, and subconsciously has always been very interested in the inside story behind the business. He took the time to gather some information on the exchange and was shocked to find that the profits on textiles were unexpectedly high.

An ordinary T-shirt costs less than five dollars to ship to Odessa, but black market merchants can purchase it for at least ten dollars. When sold to the end user, the price will vary, but it will definitely be doubled.

Now some Maozi are dying poor, and their way of life is to buy a bag of clothing at the exchange in Odessa and sell it elsewhere.

There are about two or three hundred pieces of clothing in a scattered bag, but the styles in them are different, and they look like second-hand and old goods. This used item is cheaper at wholesale price, but it is still very popular.

The countries around the Black Sea are not rich, and the poor at the bottom have nothing to find fault with, as long as they can wear them. An old garment sells for only a fraction of a dollar, which is affordable for them.

In addition, it was heard that Holy Light was planning to build an exchange in the Greek port of Piraeus, also for wholesale textiles. Among them, the sales target of second-hand textiles is the North African market.

Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Sudan, Ethiopia and other African countries are even poorer. Their market is extremely price-sensitive and only picks the cheapest.

In the past, it was local chickens that provided cheap and huge quantities of goods to these markets, but now the 'holy light' has come - a ship can easily transport tens of millions of tons of goods, and the original dealers who hit the price have collapsed.

"But the profit is not low." Yilham always thought that electrical appliances were highly profitable, but after careful calculation, he found that even the cheapest second-hand clothing was actually very profitable when it became bigger.

Zhou Qingfeng was the first 'garbage guy', and took the initiative to build modern waste material recycling plants in the coastal areas of China, and used professional equipment to solve the garbage problem. The waste paper category alone can create an average annual wealth of billions of soft sister coins.

In the matter of 'picking up garbage', if Uncle Zhou is second, no one dares to call him first. The reason why the Light can do so much is because he doesn't care about profit at all.

Others make money and want to go abroad to enjoy the sweet air, so he makes money and works hard to build roads, build schools, and then set up enterprises to create more jobs.

Two years ago, 'Holy Light' sold recyclables in China. But now, in addition to raw materials, other second-hand goods are basically sold to backward areas abroad. This has directly blocked the way for many developing countries to make money.

No matter how cheap it is, it can be cheaper than garbage?

It's impossible.
