I sent another email to John at Kamui, this time inquiring about the possibility of a financial opportunity.
John's response...
This got me thinking further, and so I replied with the following...
I eagerly await John's response.
So does this completely different compound contain silver in it? If so, as the price of silver rises, will the price of this chalk also increase? Would you suggest Kamui chalk as a viable investment option?
John's response...
I like your thinking. No, the chalk does not have silver or lead in it. The chalk will go up in value as the supply decreases. If you can source the chalk from somewhere at a low price then you can resell it.. I know several people who are doing it.
This got me thinking further, and so I replied with the following...
Hello John,
I see that you are a shrewd and cunning businessman, however I too am shrewd and cunning. I believe I have uncovered what your new pool "chalk" is made out of, you yourself have given away your own secret in your last email! You last mentioned that as the supply decreases, the value of Kamui's "chalk" can only go up, meaning that there is a finite amount of "chalk" left. I believe it is no coincidence that the last space shuttle mission has just returned, and as such, you're "chalk" is actually some form of rare blue moon ore! Since there are no more space shuttle flights in the foreseeable future, your supply of blue moon ore has been cut off, and now you will slowly release what is left of your blue moon ore cache to the wealthy few.
To keep your secret, I will require you to send one cube of Kamui "chalk" to the following address for scientific testing. Perhaps, through the use of new cutting edge scientific methods, a way to create a synthetic form of Kamui "chalk" may be discovered. If so, I promise that Kamui will be in on the ground floor of this triumphant break through!
I eagerly await John's response.
