An Wuyang first checked the information on Shadow Shield Security Company. This so-called "security company" was rather interesting, because its description read: "A private security company not actually registered in any region of the world."
This meant it was a shell company!
On the surface, it was indeed a company.
But if anyone took the trouble to investigate further, they would discover that Shadow Shield Security Company did not exist, because it had not been officially registered anywhere in the world.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible to find its actual controller through registration records, let alone discover what was hidden behind the scenes.
In the security industry, shell companies like this were usually the dirty gloves of certain super-large organizations.
Now An Wuyang had a dirty glove in hand. Although this one was still very small, it already possessed a rudimentary deterrent force.
After An Wuyang finished reading the information on Shadow Shield Security Company, he quickly went through the information on A Batch of Precious E-Waste as well, and then felt as if his brain had slightly shriveled.
He still needed to pay ten million US dollars?
Something seemed wrong here, didn't it?
An Wuyang then reviewed the prompt previously issued by the Happy Life System. At last, he noticed the key point: "Congratulations, host. You have obtained the procurement rights for A Batch of Precious E-Waste."
So the reward he had received was not direct ownership of the batch of electronic waste, but the "procurement rights"!
But the purchase price was actually as high as ten million US dollars. Where would An Wuyang get ten million US dollars?
If everything had been going smoothly with his family's Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, it would not have been impossible for An Wuyang to raise ten million US dollars.
But now, their family's Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group had already entered the stage of abandoning part of the company to preserve the whole, all right?
An Wuyang did not continue thinking about the ten-million-dollar purchase payment. He glanced at his parents, who were eating skewers, then silently stood up and returned to his room.
In the bedroom.
An Wuyang first began looking up information related to that batch of electronic waste, such as why it was worth ten million US dollars.
Under normal circumstances, electronic waste should not be worth much, right?
An Wuyang searched for information on the electronic waste with his phone. After nearly an hour of detailed research, he finally understood why it was so expensive.
Because it was precious in the literal sense!
This batch of electronic waste was indeed extremely valuable, because it contained gold—and a considerable amount of it.
For example, each Via.C3-XP1000PRO contained approximately 0.07 grams of gold;
Each AMD.AM486DX2-66V16BGC contained roughly 0.1 grams of gold;
Each Cyrix.MII-300GP contained approximately 0.12 grams of gold;
Each Intel-i486-DX2 contained roughly 0.17 grams of gold;
The one with the highest gold content was the Intel.Pentium.Pro. This processor had been a high-end processor in its day, and each one contained between 0.3 and 0.4 grams of gold.
According to the prompt provided by the Happy Life System, each of the five types of electronic waste listed above numbered between 990,000 and one million units. Their gold content could therefore be calculated.
An Wuyang also checked the current spot gold price. At present, the spot price of gold within the Xia Kingdom was approximately 380 yuan per gram.
Even if the quantity of each of the five types of electronic waste was calculated at 990,000 units, and their gold content and a gold price of 380 yuan per gram were taken into account, the final value of the gold extracted from them would exceed 300 million Xia Kingdom yuan.
A ten-million-dollar procurement cost set against a final value of 300 million Xia Kingdom yuan—wasn't that profit far too huge?
As the saying went: If there were a profit of three hundred percent, capital would dare trample every law in the world.
An Wuyang was having exactly that thought now!
No matter what, he had to make this deal happen. As long as it succeeded, even if he gave away half the profits, it would still ease his family's predicament.
At the very least, when dealing with the severance compensation, his family would not need to sell their various residences and vehicles, along with Li Wenya's luxury handbags, jewelry, and accessories.
With only the procurement rights, I need to solve two problems. An Wuyang began considering how to resolve them.
First is the procurement funds. An Wuyang had considered asking his parents to solve the funding problem, but given Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group's predicament, he assigned this option the lowest priority.
If there truly were no other way, he would ask his parents for help.
Second is transportation and customs clearance. Our country imposed restrictions on the import of electronic waste long ago. Although these processors are not electronic waste in the traditional sense, bringing them back will still be difficult without the relevant approvals and the necessary connections. An Wuyang pondered possible solutions.
An Wuyang's social background determined that he thought differently from ordinary people.
There's also a third problem. An Wuyang thought of another issue.
Although the Happy Life System says that A Batch of Precious E-Waste is under the management of Shadow Shield Security Company's Baitouyin Branch, when I go to White Eagle to purchase and collect it, I'll still need to arrange security personnel—and they'll have to be security personnel operating openly. An Wuyang considered the details.
An Wuyang liked the Happy Life System's aboveboard way of doing things, such as fully complying with laws and regulations when obtaining and transferring funds, thereby avoiding trouble for him.
Therefore, he also hoped to handle matters in an aboveboard manner whenever possible, avoiding unnecessary complications later.
Taking all three problems into account, I need to find at least two or three partners: one to solve the funding problem, one to handle the customs approvals and transportation, and someone to deal with the security personnel. An Wuyang broke the problems down.
After breaking down the problems, An Wuyang mentally sorted through his network of connections, considering who could solve each one.
An Wuyang had been born into a wealthy and powerful family. From a young age, he had participated in all kinds of gatherings, both voluntarily and involuntarily, and had thereby built his own network of relationships.
For example, how could An Wuyang not know the descendants of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group's business partners?
He also had corresponding connections within government departments.
For instance, he had friends in both the medical and police systems.
These connections were also part of the An Family's wealth, and likewise an important distinction between new money and old money.
New money merely had money. Old money also had connections.
After some thought, An Wuyang listed six names on his phone. All of them could play their own roles, and some of their roles overlapped because An Wuyang wanted backup options for safety.
After all, An Wuyang could not guarantee that no one would turn him down.
If someone rejected him, he would still have alternatives!
Surely one person's refusal could not ruin a deal with a profit margin exceeding three hundred percent, could it?
