Chapter 210 Exceptional Comprehension: Grasping the Essence of Dealing with Curry People!
Li Jiajun looked at the user on the screen with the ID [a curry person who loves to free ride], then looked at the cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel gift effects still floating across the screen, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
He felt like his brain couldn't quite process the information in front of him.
This Curry brother had successfully overwhelmed everyone in the livestream, including him, the Streamer, by spamming free gifts.
And now, he was waiting for a response with a face full of pride.
'What kind of spirit is this?'
'This is a spirit of internationalism—completely selfless, coming to my livestream just to mess with me!'
Li Jiajun felt speechless, his lips twitching uncontrollably.
...
Just as he was wondering how to respond to this "heavy sincerity," the user [a curry person who loves to free ride] finally sent the bullet chat he had been plotting for a long time.
"Can you build a toy sky rocket? I have relatively high requirements for the flight altitude and load capacity of the toy sky rocket."
As soon as this bullet chat appeared, the atmosphere in the livestream, which had been filled with laughter, suddenly went silent for half a second.
Then, an even more violent burst of laughter followed.
"Pfft—! I can't take it, this guy is for real!"
"Spamming free gifts while making custom requests, and even mimicking Hassan's phrasing. He's really something, I'm dying!"
"A toy sky rocket? With altitude and load requirements? Buddy, are you trying to launch your own satellite?"
"This isn't just a budget version of a Top Supporter; this is the leader of the Beggars' Gang personally visiting the livestream to give guidance!"
Li Jiajun looked at the bullet chat and then at the ID, feeling his scalp tingle from the sheer audacity.
He finally couldn't help but voice his signature internal monologue as a voiceover in front of tens of thousands of Netizens.
"Sigh, this guy... even mimicking A White Cloth on the Head. Although that guy Hassan is also a pain, at least he throws down real money. This big brother here is all about maxing out the emotional value, huh?"
This roast made the Netizens in the livestream even more delighted.
"Hahaha! The Main Streamer's official roast is here!"
"Exactly! Hassan has the power of money, while this brother has 'full sincerity'!"
"Main Streamer, ignore him. This guy is clearly here to cause trouble."
...
However, far away in his office in Curry Country, Rajesh was completely oblivious to the sensation and ridicule he had caused.
Seeing the even more enthusiastic bullet chats after he sent his message—which he couldn't quite understand—he thought his professional requirements had stunned these Eastern Country Netizens. After all, he was only half an expert on Eastern Country.
So, he redoubled his efforts, continuing to use his half-baked Chinese to describe his toy sky rocket in the bullet chats in detail.
"I hope this toy sky rocket looks like a rocket, but a miniature version."
"As for the flight altitude... it would be best if it could break through the... Karman line?"
"And the load capacity, the bigger the better, of course. If it could be unlimited, that would be perfect!"
With every requirement he mentioned, the Netizens' eyes widened a bit more.
By the end, everyone was dumbfounded.
Brother, how is this a sky rocket? You want the Main Streamer to build you a launch vehicle and launch your entire Curry Country into space while he's at it?
We haven't seen you spend much, but you sure have a lot of demands!
After Rajesh finished posting all his "toy requirements," he saw the bullet chats suddenly go quiet and thought his demands were so professional that they had plunged the Streamer and Netizens into deep thought.
He nodded in satisfaction and then sent his final request.
"Is something wrong? Can we do a voice link? I want to discuss it in more detail."
Seeing this bullet chat, Li Jiajun really wanted to just blacklist him and be done with it.
But on second thought, he had just been stood up by that old fellow Liu Jianguo, and he was idle anyway, not knowing what to build.
This toy sky rocket project, although it sounded ridiculous, at least wasn't a tank or a plane. It probably wouldn't be requisitioned again, right?
Besides, this client seemed so stingy and radiated an aura of poverty; he definitely wasn't some dangerous leader of an armed organization.
'Finding something to do and making a little money in the process seems okay too?'
Such a thought surfaced in Li Jiajun's mind.
So, he faced the camera and gave a professional smile: "Alright, since this... uh, this Curry brother is so sincere, I'll do a voice link with you."
"Voice link request sent."
However, the moment Li Jiajun sent the invite, several IDs in the bullet chats suddenly started spamming frantically, and the tone shifted abruptly.
"Streamer, don't! Whatever you do, don't! Don't do business with Curry people!"
"Holy crap! Streamer, run! The water is too deep here; you can't handle it!"
"As a veteran foreign trader, I'm warning the Streamer with the experience of losing an entire house: do you really dare to take a Curry person's money?"
...
Li Jiajun stared at these bullet chats, stunned for a moment.
Just then, a user with the ID [Handsome Guy Scammed to Tears by Curry People] directly gifted a "Carnival" worth a thousand yuan, instantly covering the entire livestream with gift effects.
"Streamer! I do textile exports! Listen to my advice!"
After sending the gift, this ID immediately posted a long bullet chat, every word filled with blood and tears.
"The classic trick of Curry clients is the 'Empty-Handed White Wolf'! They'll first give you a deposit to make you feel the deal is solid and urge you to ship quickly. Once your goods reach their country's port, the real show begins!"
"They'll suddenly show up and use all sorts of nitpicking excuses to claim your goods have serious quality issues, then demand a 70% or even 90% discount, or they'll refuse to take delivery!"
"What can you do? The goods are on their turf, racking up astronomical demurrage fees every day! You can't afford to wait! Ship them back? The freight is higher than the value of the goods! In the end, you can only watch as your goods are forcibly auctioned by local customs because no one claimed them!"
"And then? Then that Curry client will use an unimaginably low price to legally buy your batch of goods from the customs auction! After this series of maneuvers, he gets all your goods for almost no money! That's called a zero-dollar purchase!"
This long, tearful accusation of a bullet chat silenced the entire livestream.
Everyone was shocked by such a dirty tactic.
"Holy shit, you can play like that? That's too filthy!"
"Isn't that just daylight robbery?"
"Lesson learned. I'm definitely never touching a Curry client in business."
...
Li Jiajun was also stunned as he read the bullet chat. He thought Uncle Liu, Liu Jianguo, was already a big enough pain, but he didn't expect there to be such experts out here.
He originally just thought Curry people were a bit stingy and eccentric, but he didn't realize the water ran this deep.
He was about to hang up the voice link immediately.
But just then.
A soft "ding" sounded in his mind, and that blue, translucent, high-tech panel that existed only in his consciousness appeared before his eyes.
Heaven-Defying Comprehension triggered!
"Ding!"
[You have listened to the tearful history of a Netizen being scammed. Combining game theory and commercial anti-fraud strategies, you have instantly grasped the core essence of 'Anti-Empty-Handed White Wolf'!]
[You have gained an epiphany—【Technical Retention Delivery Strategy】!]
In the next second, a complete and sinister commercial counter-scheme, like source code, was automatically generated, refined, and solidified in his mind.
This so-called [Technical Retention Delivery Strategy] was essentially a different kind of technical encryption.
By performing precise, imperceptible "neutering" or "modifications" on the product's core components, the delivered "semi-finished product" would perform perfectly and function normally in a conventional testing environment.
But once it entered a high-intensity usage environment, those hidden "defects" would be triggered, leading to a systemic collapse of the entire product!
Unless... the other half of the technology or parts were obtained to unlock it into its true, complete form.
Instantly, Li Jiajun's eyes lit up.
'This move is great!'
'It's practically meant to guard against villains, not gentlemen... no, it's guarding against villains, not gentlemen!'
He blinked, and a heavy weight lifted from his heart.
With this move, what did he have to fear?
If this Curry brother honestly paid the balance, he would just send him the remaining half of the technology or the key parts, and everyone would be happy.
If he dared to pull that "Empty-Handed White Wolf" stunt, then what he'd get would just be a pile of scrap metal that looked impressive but was actually useless!
Of course, this guy just wanted a toy sky rocket; even if it failed, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
It was in the bag.
Li Jiajun thought.
By now, the voice link had connected.
Rajesh's face, wearing a sincere smile, appeared on the other end of the screen.
Looking at him, a meaningful smile surfaced at the corners of Li Jiajun's mouth.
