I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

In Melbourne Town Hall, Shen Lang was sitting on a chair in a meeting. Facing a group of foreigners around him, he appeared to be calm and composed.

"Consul, actually, I have also said what I said today to your predecessor. You should understand what we mean." Penny showed an apologetic expression.

"Huayuan Group has companies in many countries, especially in logistics. Using unfair means to seize wealth will only put yourself in an unmanageable situation in the future. You are also Asian, and of the same ethnicity as me. Although you were born in Malaysia, we have the same roots. I really don't understand what you are doing now. You were speaking for us before, but now you are leaning to the other side." Shen Lang questioned Penny in Chinese.

"I am Australian now, so of course I consider issues in the direction of my own country. According to what you said, Australians share the same roots as people in the United Kingdom. Some of the white people present here were not born in Australia, and now they are sitting in this position, and they do the same thing as I do. As a consul, it is really inappropriate for you to say such things. We are not children anymore, and there is no need to mention such meaningless words. Even if you can change my mind, you can't change the minds of most people here." Penny had a cold face and didn't give Shen Lang any face.

"It's okay. I don't expect you to stop now. I've been dealing with Westerners for a long time. As long as we scare them and make them feel that there is no benefit in going against us, they will turn around and try to please us. I understand this principle. Let's see the truth in the business world!" Shen Lang responded without hesitation. He glanced at the people present. The foreigners didn't understand what the two were talking about and all looked helpless.

"Whatever you say." Penny spread her hands.

"Actually, what I want to say today is that if you Australians use unfair means to sanction Chinese businesses, then we will also fight back in the same way. After all, there are many Australians investing in China..." Shen Lang straightened his body and fought back against the Victorian executives in front of him.

Two weeks later, a special product appeared in major duty-free shops in Australia - lavender bears.

As the name suggests, this is a plush toy. The bear's belly is filled with 80% dried lavender flowers and 20% high-quality Australian wheat. Lavender uses a unique air-drying technology, has a fresh and elegant fragrance, and can emit a refreshing fragrance, while wheat mainly plays the role of storing energy.

The special feature of this toy is that it can be heated in the microwave, and the fragrance becomes stronger after heating. The heated bear can be used to warm your hands or stomach, and can also relieve back pain and dysmenorrhea.

Of course, this is just a lie made up by the purchasing agent for hype purposes. In fact, it only has a calming effect.

Chen Xi was sitting under a parasol outside Boxhill Central drinking coffee.

"What do you want to do with these little bears? Are you going to do foreign trade? The purchasing power of local people for these things is really limited." Xiao Ming said as he looked at the crowd of purchasing agents who were trying to squeeze in front of the duty-free shop.

"What we have to do now is to build good relationships with the capital behind each faction, and of course, do something they like!" Chen Xi picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"We are in the automotive industry, so this should be related to Ludang."

"There are many businesses that are related. At first glance, Ludang has nothing to do with cars, but if you think about it carefully, will car emissions pollute the environment?"

"It makes sense, but I still don't quite understand it."

“Instead of trying to build a good relationship with the capital behind a certain party, it is better to get in touch with all of them first. This is also for future business layout considerations.”

"I just want to know how much money this little bear can make." Dongdong was a little disdainful of this business.

"This product actually came out two years ago. When it first came out, the price was very low because not many people bought it. The little bears were not attractive to local people at all. The selling price was only a few dozen Australian dollars. Now two years have passed, and the price has not increased but decreased."

"Why haven't I seen this before?"

"Because sales are so poor, duty-free shops are unwilling to sell it, the factory has almost stopped production, and the lavender farm is under great pressure. So I am now trying to revive this product, using the influence of these purchasing agents, and the price has also risen accordingly. Currently, a little bear is priced at 130 Australian dollars!"

"Since this product is no longer working, why not just buy the copyright at a low price?" Dongdong asked again.

"Hey, this little bear belongs to the Intelex Group doll company. If you buy it and make it popular, wouldn't others be jealous? What we need to do is to build good relationships. Besides, money can be made. Actually... I have other ideas..." Chen Xi smiled.

In the past, as the popularity of lavender bears in China increased, their prices gradually increased. Especially on some e-commerce platforms and purchasing channels, due to supply and demand and speculation, the price of lavender bears reached thousands of Chinese yuan.

Generally speaking, popular products on the market will have one phenomenon in China, that is, imitation.

Buying that copyright doesn't really do much good, and it might even anger some people.

"The bears are filled with products from lavender farms. According to the brand, most of the lavender bears on the Australian market are from Tasmania. Just like UGG, they are also collectively called Bridestowe Lavender Estate. When the market is in short supply, these purchasing agents will turn their attention to other lavender farms. The bears produced later will become the same as those produced in Tasmania under the promotion of purchasing agents. In the end, you don’t know what is inside these bears, but the selling price is exactly the same..." Chen Xi continued.

In the Phoenix Duty Free Shop.

"Don't push me, these are all mine! Shitao, we're going to be rich this time! Hahaha." Li Yuqing held several large plastic bags filled with purple lavender bears.

She excitedly raised the bag in her hand. Shi Tao, like her, also had a snakeskin bag slung over his shoulder.

"Why buy so much? What if these things can't be sold?" Shi Tao complained after finally squeezing out of the duty-free shop.

"How can it not be sold? This thing has so many benefits, it will definitely be sold out in no time if it is brought back to China." Li Yuqing's eyes have turned into dollar shapes.

"That's just fooling fools."

"It's enough that someone believes it. Why do you care so much? A little bear costs 130 Australian dollars, and Chen Xi introduced a friend to us who bought it at only 100 yuan. Then we can make an extra 30 yuan profit than others. We will keep the little bear at home for a few days, and when the product is gone on the market, we will sell it collectively! Then we can sell it for two or three thousand Chinese yuan! Quack, quack!" Li Yuqing laughed like a duck.

"Why didn't I realize before that you have the potential to be a profiteer?" Shi Tao rolled his eyes at the woman.

He is not interested in making a lot of money, as long as he can make a living, he is satisfied. However, the two of them have made some money from their cooperation so far, although it is not much, but they are also happy with it.

"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to some Vietnamese rice noodles!" Li Yuqing was in a good mood today.

"What? You're treating? I've known you for so long, but this is the first time you've said that."

"Yeah, it's my treat, you pay. You wouldn't want a girl like me to pay the bill, would you?"

"Fuck, I knew it." Shi Tao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The two of them carried a few large bags and walked towards the rice noodle shop.

There are also two duty-free shops next to the pho, and the entrances are crowded with people just like the Phoenix.

Everyone came here to grab the lavender bear. You can imagine how big the army of purchasing agents in Australia has grown.

"Brother Gou, according to your instructions, we have already negotiated with the boss. The purchase price of a little bear is 110 yuan, and more than 70% of the purchase volume belongs to us. The price is that we have to sell them other products..." said Baimao, who was sitting in a car on the roadside. "Well, there are warehouses behind the billiard room. Just tell the boss to send the goods there directly, otherwise other buyers will have some thoughts if they see it." Gouzi thought for a while and gave an order.

"Brother Gou, unless you sell this stuff in large quantities, you won't make much money." The yellow-haired guy in the back seat was a little unhappy.

"Then increase the quantity. Only when the quantity is increased can we make money. I have calculated that, for example, if we want to ship milk powder from New Zealand to China for sale, we need about one million tons of goods to ensure a profit. There are too many purchasing agents now, and everyone is fighting a price war. We need to cooperate with domestic e-commerce platforms and develop import and export supermarkets offline..."

"Brother Gou, you are so smart!" Huangmao became excited when he heard it.

"That's nothing. I also want to bring that real estate development in Australia to the rural areas in China!" Huangmao's flattery made Gouzi a little flattered, and he directly put forward other projects.

"Real estate? Rural areas? Brother Gou, why don't I understand some of this?" Huangmao scratched his head. It's not that he is stupid, but most people would not understand when these two things are put together.

"I'm from the north, and the rural areas in the north are different from those in the south. The self-built houses in the rural areas in the south are very beautiful, because the land is different from that in the city, and the cost of building houses is very low. I have visited the rural areas of Zhejiang Province and Fujian Province, and the self-built houses there are quite beautiful, and they don't cost much. We can build Australian-style houses for them..."

"This project sounds unreliable to me." The white-haired guy next to him frowned.

It's not just him. When Gouzi talked about this project in his previous life, many people were opposed to it.

However, the result was that the dog actually made money.

Since no one in Australia chose to cooperate with him, he could only look for people from his hometown in China to work with him, so his friends in Australia didn't know the specific operating procedures.

Gou Zi saw the suspicious looks in the two men's eyes and didn't say much. Instead, he told them to deal with the matter of the duty-free shop first.

After the dog left, only Baimao and Huangmao were left in the car.

"What the hell is that, Brother Gou? I don't think it's credible."

"No one can make money from every project. I think he is a little too whimsical this time. He even built a house in the countryside. It's funny! I have calculated the lavender bear. It is far from enough for us to be supplied by these duty-free shops in Boxhill. That means we don't get that much money." Baimao lit a cigarette.

"Fuck, why don't you smoke in your car, but in my car? The smell won't go away and it will be hard to sell my car." Seeing this, the yellow-haired man wanted to put out the cigarette anxiously, but the white-haired man dodged him.

"Look how stingy you are. Let's talk business! I think the money we make is too little. Big brother asked us to work with Gouzi, but we haven't made a penny so far. We even used the money to buy goods for him. If we lose money..." Baimao crossed his legs and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Then what do you want to do?" Huangmao swallowed.

"Let's go talk to my brother first." Baimao flicked the unfinished cigarette out of the window in annoyance.

Coincidentally, an old man who had been writing parking tickets in Boxhill passed by and the half-burned cigarette flew right in front of him.

"Throwing cigarette butts casually will result in a fine of two hundred yuan!" The old man wearing sunglasses looked at the white-haired man in the car unkindly.

"I just lost one...Okay, sir." Baimao was about to retort, but after seeing the pistol on the old man's waist, he could only nod obediently.

In Australia, never argue with people wearing hats, or you will be fined more heavily, or even worse, you will end up eating peanuts.

Chen Xi had argued about this several times before, and as a result, the original fine of four hundred yuan ended up being reduced to sixteen thousand!

You want to sue him, but it will be of no use and a waste of your time.

He also had a friend who ate peanuts directly. Although the fight was through the glass and no one was hurt, the boy was scared half to death.

With the increasing number of international students from Asia, Australian patrol officers have begun to show more humanity, otherwise the number of people they catch every month would be too numerous to count.

"Fuck, old man!" The white-haired man who got the ticket raised his middle finger at the old man who was leaving with an angry look on his face.

"Haha, I let you smoke in my car!" The yellow-haired guy in the back seat laughed.

"Stop laughing, go find your big brother." The white-haired guy patted the yellow-haired guy's head.

A few minutes later, the car drove off the street.

Outside the cafe, Chen Xi was still drinking coffee leisurely.

"Fuck, the price of that coin you asked us to buy last time hasn't changed much. One coin is only 0.003 beautiful coins. What can it do? It's not even worth a piece of toilet paper." Xiao Ming complained while looking at his phone.

Chen Xi looked around and saw that there were no customers, so he covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "Don't worry, cover it up."

"You're hatching eggs, why are you still covering them? By the way, what about the Turtle Coin of the Returned Overseas Chinese Association? It was lively in the group for a while after it was brought up, but now it seems that no one is interested." Dongdong pointed to his mobile phone.

“There are many uses for virtual currency. If you want to make it similar to legal tender, you have to get the approval of governments. But this thing… many people don’t approve of it now, let alone the government.

One of the biggest uses of virtual currency is that it can be used to trade items that legal currency cannot trade. Do you think our association has anything that can be traded now?" Chen Xi asked.

"There were tasks posted on the thread before, but since those foreign students were arrested, there have been fewer tasks. It seems like the whole association is shrouded in a dark aura." Xiao Ming looked at the duty-free shop which was still very popular.

"Haha, there will be changes soon." Chen Xi smiled.

"What do you mean?"

"Here, take a look at this." Chen Xi handed the phone to Xiao Ming.

"Hello, I am Zheng Wei, the official guide sent to assist the development of the Young Returnees Association. Since you are not in China, I can only greet you through a message..." A few lines of small words appeared on the phone. (End of this chapter)
