Chapter 143 How did I become an arms dealer?
Xu Youyou didn't understand what this meant for a moment, so she could only bite the bullet and say to Xie Ran, "I'll give you a hint. Mao Xiong Country, battlefield."
Xie Ran was stunned for ten seconds, then he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Boss, you're amazing! I misunderstood you and thought you were crazy to buy this factory. Now it seems you're the smart one!"
Xu Youyou was still confused, but she keenly noticed that Xie Ran seemed to respect her more. She was unsure in her heart, but her face did not show it at all. She said, "I'm relieved that you figured it out so quickly."
Xie Ran nodded vigorously: "Boss, I'll contact the person right away."
Xu Youyou was confused again. She knew that Xie Ran had a wide network of contacts, but she didn't expect that this person could actually contact the military of the Bear Country.
A moment later, she saw Xie Ran make a phone call and mumble a bunch of words into the other end that she couldn't understand.
The call lasted for a long time, at least half an hour, and Xu Youyou was waiting anxiously.
After finally hanging up the phone, Xie Ran said, "Boss, the inventory can be sold. These 100,000 electric scooters can, conservatively estimated, make at least 100 million yuan."
Xu Youyou opened her eyes slightly.
She bought the entire factory, including the land and people, for a mere 80 million, and then she made her money back by selling out the inventory?
Xie Ran immediately asked the factory management to inform the workers to continue working overtime to produce electric bikes, and they wanted the same speeding electric bikes as before.
Xu Youyou asked tentatively, "Did you have such a smooth conversation with the people over there?"
Xie Ran said, "Boss, you're incredibly foresighted. You knew long ago that this lightweight and quiet electric vehicle would be most effective on the battlefield. It's fast, lightweight, and quiet, making it perfect for transporting supplies."
Xu Youyou: Ah?
Xu Youyou knew nothing, but she still pretended to be in control of everything: "I'm just letting you try, or maybe you have some connections. I just hope this business can really go smoothly."
Xie Ran explained, "When it comes to making electric cars, I don't think anyone in the world can match our country. I just tried to sell them to them, and they couldn't wait to place an order. They even bought plane tickets overnight and will come here to meet us in person to discuss the details and test drive the car."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but bring it up again: "Will there be any changes?"
Xie Ran waved his hand and said, "Boss, don't worry. This is a done deal. We're just here to take a look. Our electric vehicles are like they were tailor-made for their battlefield. They're afraid we might change our minds."
The representative from the Bear Country arrived very quickly, just as Xie Ran had expected. He just tried riding it and immediately gave a thumbs up.
The people arrived in the morning, the contract was signed at noon, and they boarded the plane back home without even having dinner. By the next day, the first payment had been made.
Xu Youyou looked at the large amount of money added to her account, as if the 80 million had never left her.
Something even more unexpected happened to her.
Xie Ran said excitedly, "Boss, if we open our minds, there are so many ways to make money."
A flash of confusion passed through Xu Youyou's eyes, and she thought to herself, is there any other way to make money?
"Boss, we can export a batch of hot packs." Xie Ran said.
Xu Youyou: "Because the country of Mao Xiong is so cold?"
Xie Ran shook his head. "In our country, this thing is called a warm baby. On the battlefield, it can be called an anti-thermal imaging self-heating jammer. With this thing, we can induce attacks from drones equipped with heat sensors. With just a few dollars, we can destroy the enemy's drone worth tens of thousands of dollars. It's a modern version of borrowing arrows from a straw boat."
Xu Youyou:!!!
The way she looked at Xie Ran also changed. What a guy, he is so smart and quick to understand. If he goes to the battlefield, he will probably be a command genius.
"I've inquired around. There's a pressure cooker factory in the next county. It's about to go bankrupt, so we can buy it." Xie Ran added.
Xu Youyou felt that her train of thought was out of sync: "Why would I buy a pressure cooker factory?"
The respect she had gained for "a little hint" was now being lost due to the barrage of questions.
Xie Ran explained helplessly: "This thing can not only cook, but if it is not used properly, the power..."
Xu Youyou was shocked, thinking of a popular TV series where the female villain got the nickname "Auntie Pot" because she used a pressure cooker to commit a crime. It seemed that this thing was really extremely dangerous.
However, Xu Youyou realized belatedly that she, the owner of an entertainment company, had suddenly switched careers to become a multinational arms dealer? This was truly a path she had never imagined. The system's "little hint" was too wild.
However, she thought that these deals were basically one-time transactions, so she asked Xie Ran, "Is the battery-powered vehicle factory still doing business in China?"
Xie Ran said: "The domestic electric vehicle market is quite competitive now, but it's not completely hopeless. In the past two years, we have mainly focused on exports, and will slowly develop the domestic market. If things don't work out, we can wait until Song Zhibai becomes popular and then invite him to be the spokesperson."
Xu Youyou felt that this was also a solution. The influence of a top star was extraordinary, and he could directly make Cha Wu Ci Ming rise to a national brand. Such business miracles had precedents in China. Xu Youyou also thought about Song Zhibai's future influence.
Xu Youyou allocated a sum of money to Xie Ran: "Take care of it yourself. You were the one who came up with these businesses. I'll give you 40% of the profits."
Even though Xie Ran knew Xu Youyou was very generous, he was still surprised by her concession. He was stunned for a minute before saying, "Okay, I'll definitely take care of this."
Xie Ran was a natural business genius. In just ten days, he had already negotiated all the deals and the money had arrived.
With this inflow and outflow, not only did Xu Youyou get back all the money she invested, but the small treasury also made an extra small profit.
Cameras were set up in villas in the capital in the shortest possible time, and a video blogger named "Grandma Li who is responsible for raising cats and dogs" appeared on the video website.
Old Lady Li may be really suitable for the self-media route. She only uploaded three videos, and the video of Fu Yatou stealing dried fish became popular, with over a million views in just a few days.
There are many sharp-eyed people on the Internet, and someone immediately found out that the place where Mrs. Li lived was the capital's top luxury single-family villa: Yiheyuanzhu.
What's more, someone even found out the identity of Old Lady Li.
"This old lady is just a ragpicker. I saw her when I lived in Pi Village before. There's no way she can afford to live in Yiheyuan's house. There must be someone behind the scenes working together to defraud people!"
