Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 665: Argentine Soybeans

This group of teenagers from various countries actually paid legitimately for this.

Each of them paid several thousand USD just for the event expenses.

Moreover, considering this is supposed to be a public welfare project, the host country has to subsidize some costs.

South Korea claimed that it spent 117 billion Korean won, around 600 million RMB, on this event.

And yet, they were this stingy.

Moreover, the food and clothes were atrocious.

The event venue was only constructed a few months in advance.

Since the event location was in the wild, as customary, mosquito repellent measures should be taken, along with preparations for high temperatures, humidity, and rain.

But South Korea didn't prepare anything.

They probably really thought these children from affluent families across various countries were here to experience special forces training.

As a result, on the day of the event, over four hundred children were hospitalized due to heat exhaustion.

The previous scout summer camp with the most heatstroke cases due to high temperatures had over two hundred people affected.

South Korea broke the record on the first day.

Not to mention some camping sites were destroyed by a typhoon before the event started without being repaired. Many tents were soaked and unusable, forcing a large number of kids to sleep on plastic mats in the mud.

The scarce number of toilets led to constant queues for use, leaving no time to address these issues.

More importantly, South Korea didn't consider security issues at all.

This resulted in a male leader from Thailand entering the women's bathhouse stark naked without having towels and toiletries.

Over a hundred witnesses complained about it, but the final resolution was that cultural differences didn't constitute harassment.

And this was just the first day's chaos.

South Korea's scout summer camp event left other countries baffled.

We sent our children here to enhance their resumes and enrich their childhood.

Did you really treat our children like animals for training?

Hence, the United States and the United Kingdom urgently announced their withdrawal from the event, taking their children back, altogether totaling 5,500 participants, who were the main contributors to previous scout summer camps.

At this point, the South Korean government, feeling humiliated, forcibly summoned all domestic idol groups, including some who had already retired, to perform emergency concerts for these youths to try and save face.

In the end, the originally planned 173 activities for the scout summer camp were reduced to just three.

The rest of the time was spent watching the concerts.

Afterwards, the South Korean government's evaluation of the scout event was that the national image was preserved.

But Chen Yiyang suspected that none of the participating countries would agree with the South Korean government's assessment.

The one thing the South Korean government genuinely made an effort in during this event was detaining the largest shareholder of IVE's agency, forcing the group, which had a packed schedule, to attend the summer camp's charity concert with a huge penalty fee.

With such precedents.

For the upcoming World Expo vote, it's likely that some countries' delegates might have children who participated in the scout summer camp.

Originally promised to vote for Busan, they might secretly have voted for Rome in the end.

Otherwise, how did Rome, a city that was ready to give up and compete in the next round, get 17 votes?

The Guardian's review of the event: "The worst nightmare ever, bar none."

Passing by these young Koreans, Chen Yiyang and Schaefer arrived at the upscale hotel in Saudi Arabia where the celebration banquet was held. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Of course, such venues are typically extremely conducive to socializing and making new acquaintances.

But while Chen Yiyang was with Schaefer and hadn't met many people yet, a familiar face approached.

"Chen, my good friend, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"What a coincidence." Chen Yiyang embraced the person.

This was Chen Yiyang's partner in Brazil, Marco.

The two had been collaborating for years, having formed a solid relationship of interests and friendship.

After reminiscing for a bit, Marco introduced the companion beside him to Chen Yiyang.

"This is Mr. Carlos from Argentina."

"Hello, Mr. Carlos." Chen Yiyang greeted the man, who looked to be in his forties, warmly.

"I really didn't expect to bump into you here." Marco was quite surprised to encounter Chen Yiyang here.

He said, "I had planned to fly to Huaxia to see you after today's event."

"Has something happened?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously. "Do you need my help?"

"Not me, but my friend Carlos." Marco said directly to Chen Yiyang, "Carlos, this is Chen, my good brother, like my family.

Whatever it is, you can speak directly to him. He has significant influence in Huaxia, a billionaire."

Upon hearing Marco's words, Carlos's eyes lit up, and he directly said to Chen Yiyang, "Here's the situation: our Argentine soybean crops are ready for harvest.

I'm searching for channels, hoping to sell a batch of soybeans to Huaxia at a very low price. Can you help me?"

Huaxia is the largest buyer in the international soybean market.

Because internationally, no country needs soybeans quite like Huaxia does.

Soybean oil can be used for cooking in Huaxia, and the meal leftover after oil extraction can be used to make feed for pigs.

Moreover, there's also demand for soy milk, tofu, soybean fiber, and the like.

This causes Huaxia to import 105 million tons of soybeans annually, spending over 300 billion.

And soybeans themselves are a very unique agricultural product.

Unlike other farm products which can be stored for a long time and are worth more when dry.

Once all moisture evaporates from soybeans after prolonged storage, they can only be used for soil enrichment, rendering them useless.

So soybeans generally need to find buyers before harvesting.

And the current situation in the international soybean market is that sellers far exceed buyers, with over 2,000 tons of soybeans annually being forced to evaporate and enrich the soil due to the lack of buyers.

"How cheap can you offer?" Chen Yiyang was quite interested in this.

Previously, roughly half of Huaxia's soybeans came from North America.

Now, due to well-known reasons, those originally cheap soybeans now have high tariffs when sold to Huaxia.

Hence, many Huaxia manufacturers are searching for new soybean suppliers.

Upon hearing Chen Yiyang's words, Carlos leaned in to whisper a price in Chen Yiyang's ear, which surprised him.

Chen Yiyang had previously dealt with commodity trade and was aware of soybean import prices.

Now with North American soybeans' prices inflated due to tariffs.

But actually, finding alternative suppliers is really no easy task.

Because farm products from North America's large-scale production mode were very cheap.

Yet Carlos's offer to Chen Yiyang was somehow cheaper than previous North American prices!
