"That's precisely the meaning."
Chen Feng replied with a faint smile.
"It's a good idea, but the question is, will Jiufu Yixiong fall for it? After all, Jiufu Yixiong is one of the top figures in the Japanese electronics industry association, a seasoned businessman. Will he fall for a trap?"
Liu Wuzhou and Li Banghao asked with worry.
"In the face of enormous profits, no one can resist, not even Jiufu Yixiong."
Chen Feng replied confidently.
"So, when will this pit-digging plan begin?"
Liu Wuzhou and Li Banghao asked curiously.
"It begins now!!!!"
"Then, how much should the procurement payment be?"
"Besides your working capital, you'll need to borrow from the bank."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"Borrowing from the bank? Isn't Chen Feng playing too big a game?"
Liu Wuzhou and Li Banghao were a little flustered.
"As I said earlier, Jiufu Yixiong is not an ordinary businessman. He's not interested in petty profits; it has to be big."
Chen Feng replied with a calm expression.
"What if Jiufu Yixiong doesn't fall for it and suddenly dumps an astronomical sum? Wouldn't our two electronics factories under our names go bankrupt?"
Liu Wuzhou and Li Banghao asked with concern.
"Don't worry, even if Jiufu Yixiong doesn't fall for it, you two big bosses won't lose money. The XX issue won't end so quickly. Since the XX issue won't end so quickly, there will be a market for strike-and-attack drones. With a market for strike-and-attack drones, related components will be in high demand. So, invest in digging pits without much worry, the problem isn't that big."
Chen Feng advised Liu Wuzhou and Li Banghao.
"Since we're not afraid of failing the pit-digging investment, Jiufu Yixiong shouldn't be afraid of being dug into a pit either."
Liu Wuzhou and Li Banghao retorted with confusion.
The principle is exactly the same as in physics, where forces are mutual.
If they suffer no loss, then Jiufu Yixiong should also suffer no loss.
When one force is applied, the force received by the other party is equal in magnitude to the force applied.
"On the surface, that's indeed the case. But if you think about it carefully, it's not. This time, we're investing in digging a pit for Jiufu Yixiong to jump into. If Jiufu Yixiong falls for it, he will face purchasing high-priced components but being unable to sell them at a high price. Such a price difference can make Jiufu Yixiong bankrupt. At most, we'll just earn less; there's no risk of losing money due to high price differences."
Chen Feng explained patiently.
Upon hearing this, Liu Wuzhou and Li Banghao realized it was indeed true.
So, without further hesitation, the two of them went to the bank to borrow money.
A few days later, in the office of the boss of Mandi Corporation in Japan.
"Boss, something strange has happened."
Jiufu Yixiong was in his office planning how to trick the Chinese electronics factory industry when his subordinate rushed in.
"What strange thing?"
Jiufu Yixiong replied calmly.
As a top boss, he had seen too many storms over the years and had long developed the ability to remain unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before him.
"Boss, we were preparing to trick two major electronics factories in Sandong City, China. However, those two factories have actually主动 offered to buy our electronics factory's strike-and-attack drone components at three times the price. Boss, isn't this strange?"
The subordinate asked with confusion.
"Hmm, let me think..."
Jiufu Yixiong frowned deeply.
To be honest, the sudden move by Wuzhou Electronics Factory and Banghao Electronics Factory was indeed perplexing.
"Boss, what I mean is, it might be their counter-attack plan. We must not fall for it."
The subordinate said cautiously.
"It's not necessarily so. It depends on the situation of the XX issue. If the XX issue intensifies and becomes prolonged, then it's quite normal for these two Chinese electronics factories to buy strike-and-attack drone components at a high price. Throughout history, who doesn't want to profit from war? So, go and collect information on the XX issue immediately. I will analyze it before making a decision."
Jiufu Yixiong said with self-satisfaction.
This scene was precisely as Chen Feng had calculated.
Jiufu Yixiong was inherently greedy.
Even if there was something fishy about Wuzhou Electronics Factory and Banghao Electronics Factory buying strike-and-attack drone components, greed would make Jiufu Yixiong selectively blind. He would only see them buying components at a high price and not the pitfall within.
Coincidentally, the situation of the XX issue had indeed become serious recently, which indirectly led to the success of this pitfall plan.
Upon hearing Jiufu Yixiong's command, the subordinate did not dare to delay and immediately went to collect information on the XX issue.
By the afternoon, the information was collected.
Jiufu Yixiong studied the XX issue for an entire night and finally concluded that the current state of the XX issue was one of intensification and prolongation.
In other words, both sides of the XX conflict needed a large quantity of strike-and-attack drones.
This implied that the triple-price purchase of strike-and-attack drone electronic components by Wuzhou Electronics Factory and Banghao Electronics Factory was genuine, not baseless, and not a strategy.
"Quickly make arrangements. Whatever quantity of strike-and-attack drone electronic components those two major Chinese electronics factories want, we will supply that much."
Jiufu Yixiong said excitedly.
"Boss, the quantity they want to buy is very large, and our inventory is not enough. Even with overtime production, it's still not enough..."
The subordinate replied in a low voice.
"Your brain is truly rigid. If Mandi Corporation's products are insufficient, we can buy from Chinese electronics factories and transport them to Japan, and then it will be considered as produced by Mandi Corporation. Can't China produce strike-and-attack drone electronic components? No, some Chinese electronics factories can completely produce strike-and-attack drone electronic components, even with better quality than those produced in Japan. However, Chinese people are very prone to worshipping foreign things and always think Japanese products are better for the same items. It's like the toilet lid incident a few years ago. We imported toilet lids from China, then told Chinese tourists they were Japanese-made, and the result was that we bought them for tens of yuan and sold them for thousands, which was extremely profitable."
Jiufu Yixiong said excitedly.
"Boss, what you're saying is true; Chinese people really have this kind of subservient mentality. However, I've investigated, and among the many electronics factories in China, only the electronics factory in Ming山区, Jiangcheng City, inland China, produces strike-and-attack drone electronic components."
The subordinate continued in a low voice.
"Then go and buy from Mingshan District."
Jiufu Yixiong immediately made a decision.
"However, they are setting prices arbitrarily in Mingshan District, almost five times the original price."
The subordinate asked with concern.
"Buy all of it. If Mandi Corporation doesn't have enough money, borrow from the bank. In any case, we must buy out all the strike-and-attack drone electronic components from the electronics factories in Mingshan District. This way, we will form a monopoly. Since we can monopolize, the price will be determined by us. Don't talk about five times the price; we can set it at fifty times the price."
Jiufu Yixiong said excitedly.
"Isn't this too risky?"
The subordinate was a little panicked.
"Nonsense! Is there any business in the business world that doesn't involve risk? As long as the XX conflict continues, there will be a market for strike-and-attack drone electronic components. Stop talking nonsense and go arrange it quickly."
Jiufu Yixiong reprimanded him.
The subordinate no longer questioned and directly followed Jiufu Yixiong's arrangements to procure strike-and-attack drone electronic components produced in China's Mingshan District, and then sell them at a high price to the two major Chinese electronics factories.
"Chen Feng, you are truly amazing. Everything has gone exactly according to your plan. Jiufu Yixiong actually spent five times the price to buy a large quantity of strike-and-attack drone electronic components from Mingshan District."
Liu Wuzhou and Li Banghao were utterly impressed by Chen Feng.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food. This outcome was to be expected."
Chen Feng smiled calmly.
"By the way, Chen Feng, Jiufu Yixiong has now completely monopolized the Chinese strike-and-attack drone electronic component market. Next, how do we make Jiufu Yixiong fall into an abyss? Thinking carefully, it seems we can't trap Jiufu Yixiong. Instead, Jiufu Yixiong can do whatever he wants and make a lot of money. Because the XX conflict is still ongoing, as long as the XX issue persists, there will be a market for strike-and-attack drone electronic components."
Liu Wuzhou and Li Banghao asked anxiously.
