No. 0913 Satellite Receiver
"'Holy Light' is starting to explode production again."
Ilham stands at the window of a hotel in the port area of Odessa, overlooking the busy docks of the port area from a height of more than a dozen floors. Several container ships are loading and unloading, and port cranes are slowly transferring cargo.
The freighter is a European shipping company, the crew is probably a group of Filipinos, and the manifest may also be fake. But it doesn't matter, Ilham knows exactly what this ship is carrying.
As an Iranian black marketeer, Ilham was one of the first to wander around Kyiv for contraband. However, after the arrival of the 'Holy Light', all underground transactions were made public, and the market demand was fully satisfied, and transactions were extremely frequent.
With the help of the Il-76 fleet of 'Holy Light', Ilham transported contraband, and by the way, transported a large number of civilian household appliances to Tehran, making a lot of money and getting the first pot of gold in his life.
But the good times didn't last long.
Due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, Tehran's magnates quickly drove Ilham away for smuggling. If he dared to go back now, he would have been hanged. But he had been prepared for this, and when the market in Tehran could not be eaten, he went elsewhere.
Thanks to the overseas settlement system built by the 'Holy Light Bank', Yilham has kept his property. The black marketeers knew that the 'Holy Light' and the CIA were mortal enemies, and they were very relieved to hand over their money to the 'Holy Light' for safekeeping.
Ilham left Boryspil and came to Odessa on the northern shore of the Black Sea. 'Holy Light' is operating a second commodity sales base here, radiating the entire Black Sea perimeter.
'Holy Light' has a full-time investigation department, and it will send people to collect information in the market to determine what kind of products are competitive. As long as it carries goods, even if you buy it blindly with your eyes closed, you will definitely make money.
As a member of the market, Ilham would be presented with a catalogue every time a ship arrived. He has the right of first refusal, and this right alone is very valuable.
Basically, new products are added every time the catalog is updated. Each black marketeer will combine their strengths to buy goods. When Ilham opened the catalog, he knew that another commodity had been produced explosively by the 'Holy Light'.
"Tut-tut...... Feminine hygiene products, 'Holy Light' really sells everything. ”
Is there a market for this product? Yes, and it's huge. There are tens of millions of women in demand in Ukraine alone, and the society in Eastern Europe is relatively progressive, and the market prospects are very huge.
However, the countries surrounding the Black Sea do not have any developed light industry, and many goods need to be imported.
Contrary to many people's intuition, the local chicken is an important producer of light industrial goods. It mainly supplies Europe and, incidentally, exports to Eastern Europe and the Middle East, which are its traditional markets.
At the beginning of the year, 'Shengguang' entered the sanitary products market and began to desperately increase the production capacity. It is building factories in various provinces and almost doubling its production capacity every month to meet the needs of the country's one billion people.
Now the domestic demand has not been met, but the president is going to engage in local chickens, and by the way, a large number of goods are brought in to grab the market. In terms of quality and price, 'Holy Light' has never been afraid of anyone.
After all, in the low-end industrial chain, as long as the 'world factory' has a firm foothold, everyone is scum.
'Holy Light' opened a commodity exchange in Odessa, right in the port area. Ilham called and asked, and was shocked to find that the sanitary products had been ordered out.
"When did this thing become a sought-after commodity? The market is so good. ”
Ilham thinks about the 'walking furniture' wrapped in black cloth in his own country, and can't think of what would happen if this thing was sold? He flipped through the catalogue 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, which is set up high in the building, and looks like a large cauldron. With this thing, you can watch a lot of TV programs, and it's very cost-effective.
Yilham called the commodity exchange again, gave his membership number and asked to order a container. He was lucky, and when he called, there were only 3,000 units left in the last standard cabinet.
The transaction must be completed within two hours, otherwise the ordered goods will be returned to a state of sale. After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly left the hotel and headed for the exchange.
Since it is a new product, there is someone in the exchange who is responsible for the demonstration of the use. According to the manual, the receiving 'pot' antenna is aimed at a fixed area of the sky, and it can be watched with a TV.
This is too convenient for the average family.
Ilham believes that this thing will definitely sell and will definitely be a hit. In areas where there is a lack of broadcast communications infrastructure, it will become the standard for television.
After paying the money and getting the goods, Ilham rushed to the port area. He couldn't do business in Tehran, so he turned to local chickens. In contrast, the economic level of local chickens is better, the consumption power of residents is stronger, and it is more secular.
There are not many containers, and you can hire a small cargo ship at the port to transport them. 'Holy Light' even offers a full range of logistics services, so you can arrange everything for a fee.
Ilham and a few of his men were escorted by boat and it took two days to cross the Black Sea to the northern part of Tuji. During this period, the Tuji Coast Patrol arrested them, paid a fine of 1,000 US dollars, and arrived at a small Tuji port safe and sound.
This is not the first time that a similar deal has been made. Before going ashore, Yilham radioed to the local chicken merchants in the port, informing them of the type and price of the goods, and preparing to dock and unload the goods.
Since it is a small port, there is only one trestle. Ilham disembarked, and a chubby guy came up and gave him a hug close to his face.
"Ilham, my friend. I heard you brought me a satellite TV receiver? Hahaha...... this thing is in demand right now. ”
A sample is removed from the cargo ship. The local chicken merchant looked at the packaging, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The goods of 'Holy Light' are always very finely made. This packaging is easy to understand at a glance.
I've bought a batch of French goods before, and the printing is still in French, even the instructions. The machine also has to be equipped with an adapter interface, which is not easy to use at all. Ask the French, they are still not willing to provide after-sales service. ”
TVs are also divided into different formats, and the signal interface is even more bizarre. Large European manufacturers rarely care about the opinions of their bottom customers, basically what they sell, users have to use.
That's how arrogant it is.
Until the 'factory of the world' started stealing business – and they didn't change it.
Ilham also nodded at this: "The things of the 'Holy Light' are indeed more carefully considered, and their manuals are accompanied by different words. There are different instructions for different regions. It's more comfortable to sell their goods. ”
"Let's go. Try it at my house. 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 of the arrival of a satellite receiver quickly spread by word of mouth. Many of the town's children flocked to the merchant's house, and the adults were curious.
Everyone wants to know, is this thing easy to use?!
